vimeo.com/36426703Apparently, Handler and Kalman gave a lecture at the University of Michigan in January on WWBU. It's fairly entertaining, and I don't recall seeing or reading about it before, so here we are. There's no new information about Handler or his books, but they discuss Kalman's illustrations and the nature of romance.

Pacers = biggest bunch of losers EVER. It was that idiot Ron Artest's fault that the Pacers lost game 6, and I thank him. First he elbowed Richard Hamilton (one of my favorite players) in the face, which gave him a flagrant foul. The Pistons made both free throws and also made a field goal because with flagrants you also get the possession. That's 4 points right there. Then later, he MISSED A DUNK. That's another 2 points, giving Ron Artest a total of -6 points. How much did the Pacers lose by? Only 4. RON ARTEST IS A BIG LOSER ;D The only guy I have any respect for on that stupid team is Jermaine O'Neal. He's okay. My guess is that the Pistons will lose to the Lakers, 4-2, but at least they're making it to the finals I used to think I don't like donuts, but then I realised I only don't like the way they feel in my hands, so I tried eating them with fork and knife and I liked that. I didn't know that a day for donuts exists, but now i'm upset that I didn't have one.

Tomorrow we will have an official Penthouse gathering day to celebrate 06/06/07 and, more importantly, begin planning events for 667's Fifth Anniversary (6/22/07). Please be there any time between 3 PM and 10 PM Eastern time and contribute your ideas. Feel free to come in disguise. i found my notes for this AHz! I forgot Friday! *death'd* Drat. I'm sad now.... Oh well, I forgot a lot of people, like Madame Lulu, and Mr Poe, and Uncle Monty (Oh Nose!), and tons of peoples.... OMG!! I LEFT OUT BEATRICE!... BOTH OF THEM! wait... that would have been soooo illogical on so many levels... Edit: Ha, I used the word "dreadful" twice so far in my English paper and I'm not even halfway done yet... It makes sence though, it's comparing the Holocaust to Darfur, so dreadful is a good word... "I wish you wouldn't say that in front of people, Jerome," she said shyly. "You know I've never really liked my freckles." Jerome nodded. "I knew that," he answered. "But I can't honestly understand why you've never liked them, my love." He said that, but he knew full well what it was that had caused her to hate them in the first place. She'd only ever mentioned it once, and only briefly, but Jerome knew that once again Olaf's cruelty had played a large part in this aspect of his wife's personality. Why else would he invest so much of his time reminding her of how adorable the things she was most insecure about really were? Before Esmé could respond, she caught sight of her daughter approaching, and smiled ahead at the fourteen year old. "Good morning," Emma said, pulling up a chair to sit with her parents. "I tried to wake you earlier," she said to her stepfather. "To tell you I was going out with Beatrice, like I said. But you just sort of snorted, so I'm not sure you heard me." Jerome blushed and his wife laughed. The fact that he now snored on top of everything else made him so terribly embarrassed, but Esmé just seemed to find it terribly funny when someone mentioned it. She didn't have trouble sleeping because of her husband's new habit, and she just thought it made him justa fraction more adorable than before. "I don't remember that," Jerome said shyly. "But I don't suppose it matters now. I guessed that's where you'd gone off to anyway when we came down here." Esmé took another sip of her tea, and her husband returned to wtching her occassionally out of the the corner of his eye (Emma nearly rolled hers), and then their daughter cleared her throat. "The Widdershins' are sitting over there," she said slyly. She was her mother's daughter. "Why don't we go sit with them?" What she hadn't mentioned, of course, was that Colette and Fernald looked like they had the biggest stormcloud in history hanging over their heads, and Faust looked as hyperactive and cheerful as ever, and that the three of them were all sitting next to Kit, Violet, Sunny and Beatrice. She knew that perhaps her parents weren't eager to join in with Kit Snicket (at least not her mother, she was fairly sure Jerome might have liked to), but this was her perfect opportunity: they could all sit with the Widdershins' and become involved with her friends family at the same time. *eats them* *throws a studded leather bra*

Published by 667er Publications, ltd. A subsidiary of the 667er Group.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First off, let me say that the infamous saybox appears to be GONE. FINALLY. Those popunders were the final straw for many people. It appears Tragedy has finally come to his senses. Now, off to the point of this week’s article. Something needs to be done about Robert. I mean, I <3 you and all, but you’re getting out of hand. You’re acting like a hypocrite, you know that? First, you go and pwn some really cool member, then, when someone pwns you, you act like they’re all insignificant and unworthy of your time. I ask my readers, doesn’t that seem hypocritical to you? I mean, I know your girlfriend dumped you and all, last I heard, but that is not an excuse for being so inexcusably rude to everyone. And if you flame me for this article, well, you’re just fueling my fire. You were okay, in my book, for awhile, only pwning those who truly needed it, being civil to everyone else. You’ve just gone downhill. It’s totally ridiculous, how you’re acting. Get a hold of yourself! I mean, come on, be reasonable. Take another look at how you treated Descartes in that thread of yours (which was TOTALLY pointless, by the way. If anyone else had made that thread, you would have pwned them. And don’t even try to deny it). Don’t you think that’s a bit over-the-top? Now, as we all know (if we’ve read the thread in question), Betsy has tried to calm you down, as have others. You haven’t listened, have you? I can only hope that the truth thrown into your face in a public form will shock you to your senses. Over and out, -Tess --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, on to other things. Why have two harmless threads( this and this) been archived? As far as I can see, discussion was continuing, no swearing or anything of the sort occurred. Or is this is just the new tactic of 667’s regime? Suppression of threads? Hiding of information, or support of members the regime doesn’t like? I expected better. I don’t blame you, Tragedy, but I’m not sure who to blame, seeing as no notice was made in the thread itself. I thought that was a rule, some sort of mod ethic, hmm? At least give a reason, true or false, for your vagaries, oh great g-mods or mods. It’ll make you seem just a tad more respectable. As far as I can see, the only people who could’ve done this are swans, Snicket and Trish. DDs can’t lock and archive threads. I honestly don’t think any of them would do it. Still, I wonder why these threads have been suppressed. Surely they wouldn’t be doing it for personal reasons. Oh no, I’m sure they have a perfectly good reason for doing this, and I’m sure they’ll post it as soon as this editorial is posted. To conclude, I’d just like to say that I’m back, for better or for worse. My publishing house continues, my magazine continues, 667er Animations is going to be up and running by tomorrow, and the group stays. I know I’m not trying to take over 667 or the world, or any such thing, and the 667ers who are important to me know it as well. As for the rest, I couldn’t care less. Akbar’s back. Deal with it, mageemonkeys. Peace out, Akbar Le Grey. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you Sora. It's really snowy here. I went outside and made snowmen. Thank you to everyone that had the time and consideration to reply in this thread. That was very considerate of you to do so. I got a lot of clothes, and a lava lamp. I have only managed to get on the computer now, because as some of you may know, I have been involved in Hercules The Panto and two birthday parties in the same weekend. I probably won't be on the computer until next weekend. I have just heard on the computer that I won't be going to school tommorrow either!! So that's good news. So I may be on here tomorrow as well. My birthday was a 'family occasion'. Thanks once again for all the people that said happy birthday to me, especially Edwin who took the consideration to make a thread to celebrate it.

Hey, i'm the real deal. Im 38, im an alcoholic, and i live somewhere on this earth. Nice to meet you ! Now mush! awww man kyle ya ruined it Some 667 things: First meetup between Mister M and Anka 27 September 2013 Australian 667ers' meetup 20th December 2014 Lemona meets Daniel Handler November 2013 (precise date not divulged). bandit , have you any links for your meetings with DH or with Pandora? Is there anything else we should cover? The original timeline included, besides what we've got so far: Significant stories; have there been any in the last three years? Start of important threads; are there any new ones? Of course, since it's largely length that defines a thread as important, one might wonder if there can be any new ones yet. Contests. Have there been any apart from Big Brother? Moments of drama; perhaps these should not be included, as any we could think of would be rather recent. (Just as we left out CV last time.) Significant things which do not fit into any other category, e.g. our entry on Urban Dictionary: can anyone think of any? i got caught shoplifting books that was crazy June 17th - June 24th.
Published by 667er Publications, ltd. A subsidiary of the 667er Group. ------------------------------------------------------------------ It's 667's Big Birthday. Why is it big, you ask? Because everyone is scrambling to make up for the utter mediocre goings-on that have made up 667 this year. Either way you slice it, there's only so much you can do on a message board, but not for lack of trying. It's easy to be cynical, critical and captious—I am, after all, J. (though maybe my initial should be changed to C) but I do have to give credit where credit is due: to the tenacious little buggers who are trying, like little ants or fishes, to fight against 667's tide of lameness, all without resorting to an easy quick-fix solution for a dose of excitement: posting hentai. -J ----------------------------------------------------------------- Yo dawg, wassup? This ya boy Robert. Fo' da last couple mizzonths, I been chillin' wit my homies over at www.gangsterrpg.com an' I decided to wrizzite a repo't on ma findin's an' shizzle, nawmean? So you know, I like stepped up in that beeyotch an' shizzle an' at first I was like, "Yo, what's this joint brah?" an' then I started realizing it was just like one of dem RPG shizzles. After a whizzile, I was cool wit' what I was doin', nawmean? Like it was an' RPG shizzle, nawmean? So I was like whatever, brah. Then I fizzound the forums an' I ain't got no idea what was happenin', nawmean? Like it felt like I was in Europe or some shizzle, the ish was completely diff'ent than I was used to, nawmean? So I was jus' like whatever an' I started chillaxin' an' I started to fit in an' ish, so I was like iight, we can roxx out wit' dis, nawmean? But then n*ggas be startin' beef an' ish, so I ain't really know what to do an' it ended in rap battles an' shizzles, nawmean? I ain't really used to squashin' beef an' ish so I jus' tried ma best an' shizzle an' in the end, it was all good. You know how we do. So all an' all, it was cool, brah. We all jus' chillaxin' an' ish. -Robert "the Yellow Dart" Kline ------------------------------------------------------------------ This article brings a whole new meaning to the word “Doggie Bag”. So, tonight I was walking with my father and my dog, Rex. I happened to be in charge of “the bag”- the receptacle in which we pick up our dog’s feces and put it in a trash can at a later time, preferably after the walk. We are required to, or else be fined something like $1000 dollars. No joke. But over the years, I’ve noticed different types of “bag” carriers. There are the fashionable ones, which have bags stored in the leash, pull them out when necessary, and then carry the poo quickly and quietly to the nearest trash receptacle. Then there are the “swingers” who not only carry the bag, but swing it as they walk! I never, ever, want to be a swinger. Then there are those, like me, who carry it on one finger, bag knotted, and down by the knees, because of the smell. The final group, the group I like least, is the “pick up and drop it” group, where they put the stuff in the bag, and then leave it for someone else. Our next door neighbours do better than that, but worse for us. They leave the full bags next to their front door, leaving us all to smell the sweet aroma of “dog poo in the rain”. I think the funniest story related to the bags happened recently, when my sister and I were dog-sitting, and when we dropped the dog off, I forgot “the bag” on their kitchen counter- good thing I remembered it… after I got into my own home. My sister STILL teases me about it. We now pick up after our dogs- what’s next in benefit of the dogs? Requirement to send your pooch to a doggie spa? -Dismay.

zortnegus wants me to present best pairing. we all know who made the worst pairing, it's him for pairing my superb presentation skills with this obscure award. the only pair with 0 votes is Comet and Quisby, and it's no wonder because they're so boring that my mouth makes a '0' shape every time i read their posts (yawning). three pairs only got 1 vote each: Comet and Mister M, for their shared ugly profiles; Pepper and Sophie, for their shared but admittedly dissimilar greatness; and me and quisby, apparently for the enmity between us, but actually we are the most wholesome of friends. dante and hermes got 2 votes, and there's two of them, just saying. trip and zortegus came in second place with 3 votes, and i can't say anything snarky about the winning pair, so i'm going to have to discharge all my remaining ammo right here: trip's ability to wield admin power is so utterly deflated that she couldn't even muster the effort to rig the poll for a win; on the other hand, perhaps it was intentional to avoid the humiliation of sharing an award with as corny a dork as snoretegus. anyway, the honored pairing tonight is Zort and Linda. we always knew them as a powerful team with shared interests and passion for 667, but i think a lot of us did not realize the true extent of their care for each other until Linda passed. since then zort has worked harder than any of us to celebrate and preserve linda's legacy, but this award is an opportunity for us to focus on another legacy which they crafted together: that of a great friendship. hats off to tomasi and megan's many exploits over the years :-)

I own a cardboard stand reading 'A Series of Unfortunate Events', followed by a large picture of an eye (not a VFD eye), and beneath that 'Troublesome, treacherous tales by Mr Lemony Snicket'. I nicked it from some kind of event - I seem to recall it was a quiz with an actor portraying Count Olaf - and have always regretted taking it because there were also some stands of full-colour book illustrations which were much nicer. That said, it could have been a lot harder to get that out of the hall unnoticed. Yes, I am a common thief.

Olaf cannot remember what language he is speaking. Is the point that he cannot remember the word 'English', or is it a hint that he is talking some other language, and we are hearing a translation? I suspect that Olaf only pretends not to have learned knowledge. It would be very strange that they are not speaking English, given that we have so many references to North America in the books. Say what you will about how the actual film turned out, but the production design on it is BEYOND incredible. Absolutely agreed. It's absolutely incredible on a technical level. I personally don't mind the adaptation either.

Was it said by I, Dante, in 2015? I just used the search tool to refresh my memory.

I dunno. That one's pretty funny when revisited, because I'm no longer disguised as Dante.
