(here we go!)
I have no idea what that means.B.M. was sitting near tessie and yet again they were having a dispute. "GIVE ME THE COOKIE DANGIT!" B.M. shouted.
"I will never give you a cookie!" Tessie yelled.
The Tessie Watching Club must have wet themselves in excitement at hearing Tessie talk.B.M. again got angry and prepared a PSI BUBBLE SLAM. "Wait! the last time you did that you blasted yourself right into a freaky IF!"
I'm pretty sure any IF you pop up in instantly qualifies as freaky.Not listening B.M. used PSI BUBBLE BLAST, which again sent him into another IF, more paticualry, this one, with all his runaway five and smashmouth cds.
As a loyal Eight Bit Theater follower, I can't shake from my mind the firmly rooted assumption that B.M. = Black Mage. Your mileage may vary.
And yes, Smash Mouth was all the rage in 2000.

Dr. Andonuts(not meaning the EB character, meaning me, i'll just use that as my AC for this IF),
Also not to be confused with the forum poster dr. andonut, who, along with waffle (later waffy) and Striker164 was one of the Original Three that comprised the first EarthBound community people I hung out with, on Striker164's message board back in early 1999. Striker164 disappeared by the end of 1999 and I have no idea where he is now. waffy is still around. But alas, dr. andonut, waffy's IRL best friend, was killed in a car wreck years ago. That was jarring... still is, to think about it.sat at his computer putting the final touches on a teleportation program. "Now, where to go," he wondered. So he logged on to SM.net and saw a news update. It said, "The First Annual Starmen.Net Gathering! today, on Eagleland Island, 0N 0E 10 ft above sea level."
It's right off the coast of Africa?So he set his program for those corordanates,
What in the f--- is a 'corordanate'? Man, the spelling you used to see from the 12 year olds back then... today you have that god-awful txtspk, of course, but that was different. In 2000 the kids were trying to spell words right. It just didn't work out for them.hoped that they were correct and he wouldn't land in the middle of the ocean, packed his laptop and portable T5,
'Portable T5'. For reals. Believe it or not, there was a time before wireless internet... and it was less than ten years ago.and activeted the program. As luck would have it, he came out only a couple of inches above ground. "Next time, i've got to hack the CIA for sattilite pics before using this program." Then he waved to a couple of people he knew from the forums and #earthbound, and sat down to wait for some other people while he debugged his program on his laptop.
I guess Dr. Andonuts fancied himself a l33t h4x0r d00d.[This message has been edited by Dr. Andonuts (edited 04-10-2000).]

Again, I have no clue what would possess a person to edit his post the following day, and then again the day after that, especially considering that The Gathering was nearly 100 posts long by 11 April. It certainly wasn't to fix typos. I'm starting to suspect PSI and/or Tengu forced a mass editing... we'll find out when we get to the 11th.
Post #16, by The Game boy
In a suburb of chicago, IL., The game boy was quickly fiddling around with a screw driver.
"There," he said, and hopped on his creation.
"A giant mechanical fish to swim me to the island!" he cried as his invention collapsed upon itself into a smoking heap.
"d'oh! Well I suppose I'll have to think of something else."
The game boy jumped off his giant motorboat and landed on the island.
The Game boy happens to be a master builder* of motorboats. Hey, you try building a giant mechanical fish. Let me know how it turns out. It's harder than it looks."I am so here it isn't funny!" he screamed, while Juliana walked up and asked, "where'd you get the boat?"
* technically 'thief'
"well, It was just uhh... laying around."
Meanwhile, at the Chicago Dock and canal trust building, a man walked into a large warehouse accompanied by 2 other men.
"This is our newest boat. We will make 5,000 prototypes and send them to the government immediately." he said, and looked around.
"AHHHH!! That cost us 5 million dollars! Where is it!?!?!"
The game boy watched as the abandoned boat crashed into the growing pile of discarded transportation and exploded.
Don't worry, chums. When supplies start getting low, we'll just eat Gilligan.[This message has been edited by The Game boy (edited 04-11-2000).]
I have to give The Game boy some credit here--he actually tacked on a semi-humorous, totally irrelevant mini-story, instead of just showing up, waiving to everyone, and calling it a post.
Wow, I must've been really out of the loop back then. I don't remember dr. andonut having died. Know that, I offer my condolences about his passing. He must've been a very good friend of yours. :(
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter [I guess?] note, in 2000 I don't know if I even knew what Smash Mouth was. XD
He changed his handle to MooHeimer some time before his demise. I barely knew him, alas.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I knew someone in the community who also passed away. WhoopA. I still have his DA page faved and watched in his honor, as if he'll just suddenly return from the dead and art something.
ReplyDeleteSad face.
