See, I went to the bottom of the first page and thought there were no new posts so I replied to that one.

It's anway.

Jonsey, I see what you mean about understandlng maybe 42% of the posts on the BBS.

Anyways, you gave me crap earlier in the thread. I was only returning your crap, served up as a Blue Plate Special, with a sprig of "turn the cheats on, fag" on top for color.

Who the hell is arguing with you on this? Did I miss something? Look, just because Mars hangs low in the southern sky it does not mean you get to be a PRICK.

Thanks for sharing, Jonsey. You could have turned the cheats on in MAME and seen all the intermissions for yourself in the time it took to write that.

(Just that they're called "intermissions" further proves my point that they're meant to be stage plays. How many movies - apart from some really long old musicals and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" have intermissions?)

Go grab "Straw Dog" by Something Corporate. It's an MP3.

Great song, another good ICJ pick.

I know just what I will use. If any of you would like to play along with the home game of ICJ vs ICQ, do the following:

1) Find the sound preferences bit in ICQ Lite
2) Go grab "Straw Dog" by Something Corporate. It's an MP3.
3) Change your individual sounds to the opening of that song.

Furthermore, if you'd really like to get an insight on what it's like to live as me, I can provide the following:

Last night I got an e-mail from none other than Beaver guitarist and Syracuse alum Kurt Colville. He informed me that Mars was going to be in the southern sky at around midnight local time. While my adventures as a famed romancer and tamer of the female form are well known, what is not so widespread is the knowledge that I am also a man of practicality. I don't just want to promise women the moon, I want to memorize its features. Likewise, Mars.

I set my Wakeup program to go off at Midnight. With "Straw Dog" playing. Those who have made it this far really should go grab it.

Last night I put my head down at 10:00pm to rest for 15 minutes, but fell asleep. I had been listening to one of Dark Tranquillity's earlier albums on my headphones right before this. I took off my headphones and the speaker defaulted to "speaker mode."

Even though my Wakeup program fails to wake me 2 out of every 5 days for work, it was right on target at midnight for this one.

Did I mention that I have bad headphones and really need to have the volume up on my receiver to hear anything from them?

'Straw Dog' starts off with five of the most obnoxious chords of all time, and with my stereo's volume control set to "red" off it went! DUMMMM DUM DUM DUM DUMMMMMM!!!

I was up like someone had entered my room and had started shooting. At midnight. It was the loudest wall of sound I can remember hearing in a long, long, long time.

I did not get back to sleep and ended up going to work earlier than normal.

So anyway, the point of all of this: I think I'll change ICQ to use that riff as well. I'm already quite conditioned to responding to it.

Debatable. Yes, they use a clapboard - which was only necessary in the early days of cinema. However, it also says "act one" - and the only movie that I can think of that has 'acts" is Tromeo and Juliet, which is based on a stage play. (Well, a play, plus pighumping, daughter molestation, raisin meat, decapitations, and heavy metal music.)

I would say that they are stage plays. The camera stays steady, as if you're watching a stage, and Pac-Man usually enters from stage left (where the hero is supposed to enter) and the ghosts from stage right (where the villains are supposed to enter.)

(That's because, theoretically, your eye instinctively wants to see left-to-right movement, and right-to-left looks wrong or at least slightly evil,)

And yes, "Jaws" was the character's name... Richard Kiel is the actor, if memory serves me correctly.

Yeah, that's fantastic, thanks for sharing.

Apparently, the hippie communists who wrote ICQ decided to make the "door knocking" sound the one that denotes a new person logging on to ICQ.

So, I've put the sound on for ICQ the last couple of days for various reasons.

The last few days, I have been under the impression that this place is haunted. Why? Because I have heard something which distinctly sounds like a knocking door. I go to the door. Nobody's there.

Apparently, the hippie communists who wrote ICQ decided to make the "door knocking" sound the one that denotes a new person logging on to ICQ. I only just now discovered this as Walrustitty logged on.

Jonsey to ICQ Sound Designers:

THANKS, maggots.

There are only the three in MPM: "They Meet", "The Chase", and "Junior".

There are, I think, three in Pac-Man too:

1) Pac-Man, pursued by Blinky, returns chasing him in his blue state
2) Pac-Man turns into Super Pac-Man and chases all four ghosts
3) Blinky loses his sheet and you see his boxers.

I think. I haven't played Pac-Man in a while.

I... look, Brucey, don't kid with me here. This is serious stuff. Serious as a heart attack. The only person I know who would POSSIBLY know this would be... well, you and Roody, probably. But also you. And Roody. But you, too.

Something like that -- a bunch of Pac-scenes -- doesn't exist, does it?

The scene with John Holmes and Seka after the fifth key is worth viewing.

The Act I, etc. designations don't actually come in until Ms. Pac-Man. And there's a clapboard there so obviously it's a movie.

I think the Pac-Man intermission is more of an infomercial.

As for Joust being gay....
