"I am Will, king of kings, look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

Tags : None

Vynson set up this great Egyptian theme and no on has seen it til now. I thought that was a bit of shame.

I'm going to ask Burgers and Borscht if I can post his obsessive cataloguing in here some where, I think. Also, maybe Block won't mind if import his "Smiley Post"?

WOW! The secrets of the tantalizingly forbidden Administration Areas for so long denied us mere mundane members unlocked at last. YIPPEE!

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

oopsy... forgot I was in a library there for a moment - sorry!

It just so happens that by happy coincidence and for reasons that completely escape me right now, I have a copy of the updated version no less of the aforementioned "Smiley Post" to hand, now with added 'smiley' as it goes. How fortuitous:

The first splash of blood Comedian gets on his badge in 'Nam after his face is sliced open
First look at the Owlship - very smiley-ish!

The sweat dripping on to Comedian's badge as he plays with his flame thrower

Oh, perfect. Cheers.

Yeah, I had always wondered what was down here, too. Turns out it was just a large empty hall decorated with this Egyptian stuff.

God, all I wanted to do was split the smiley post. That ended up being a little more complicated than I thought.

Avoid using B&B's colour scheme. Otherwise we won't see what he's written.

That's true. He's a member here, too, though and I don't think he used that pink text when he posted here...I'll have to double check on that.

Handy to have around, even though I think most here don't need it.

I've not decided how I'm going to organize this area yet, but I'm pretty excited by the idea.

"I am Will, king of kings, look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

I had a dream that Nala was upset that I had moved his post and stickied it. He was so mad, in fact, that he had hacked into the site (like it was a bad eighties movie) and was quickly changing everything into pictures of fluffy pink bunnies and birds.

Weird.

"I am Will, king of kings, look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

On principle alone, I've put things back the way they were, with only the "edited by..." badge of shame to mark waht happened.

I guess I got so excited by my little library idea that I was really ready to play librarian and get to sorting.

Now that's everything's back, and since I had planned for Mr. Nala's requested "Smiley Post" to be the lead for this reference part, I think that it's only right to ask if he minds terribly much if I take his post and stick it up top?

Thanks. I think that it's a good idea, I've just gotten a bit nervous about it. Maybe it's time to get back to work, though.

Well for starters, seeing as we're here in a library... how about some books to be getting on with, of the comic variety naturally?

Copyright schmopyright, but I'll leave it to your own individual consciences inna final analysis.

I can particularly recommend the collected 2000AD circa 1977-1986 for examples of some thrill powered early work by Mssrs Moore, Gibbons and Higgins.

Your predicament has been noticed and the situation is being attended to.

Thanks guys! I've been looking EVERYwhere for my fave series!

In all seriousness, I've got a new favorite to add. Muchas gracias.
