How did you manage to do this, even under the influence of the demon java?

[chuanoplast]

I'm sensitive to caffeine and impulsive, and the roofs at my college are easily scaled, plus some friends wanted to walk on the roof. The destroying thing happened when I thought it would be a great idea to pick up roof tiles and drop them down a ventilation shaft. Not a good idea.

[littlefallsmets]

Hm. Okay, I suppose I understand.

My issues are anxiety which is kinda the exact opposite of an impulse control issue. My problem isn't about stopping myself from throwing roof titles, my problem's with not having so much sense that I don't even get out of bed in the morning.

Also, caffiene is pretty much just a part of my system, I am brewing a pot of coffee which will include my sixth coffee of the day as we type. Basically the only thing any drug has ever made me do out of my nature is, like, occasionally making me want to lay down and listen to "Odelay" more than I might usually wanna lay down and listen to "Odelay".

We are very different people, you and I.

It's a little scary, the enthusiasm for the Nice Pete flow chart in the poll.  Times like these I am glad you are all imaginary.

OK, so in one of the Calvin & Hobbes books where Watterson writes little comments on the strips, there's that run of dailies wherein Calvin's Imagination Game ultimately results in him just getting bigger and bigger and bigger, stepping over the city, poking his head through the clouds, wading through the ocean, balancing on the globe, tumbling through the stars.

Watterson comments something to the effect that he wanted to just do a silent series of Calvin growing for a full month but decided against it.

Mr. Onstad might be at a similar moment of decision.  Having blown the brains of his most popular two characters all over the Visio wall, he debates the merits of doing up the rest of the cast vs. getting in more food jokes and fancy illustrations of cars and whatnot.  Will it alienate the readers?  Will it just be a dumb distraction?  With a little bit of writer's indecision, he glances at the forums.  There, standing like a gang of middle-school friends, gawking up at their shake-kneed companion on the highdive, we chant:

do it

1. I am very very real. Much to AugustWest's chagrin.
2. Nice Pete is the most complex character in the whole crew and an insight into his mind would be priceless.

Colmore. Though you did not really do what I am about to say, you have just made me realize what the new frontier of Strange Obsessive Internet Things is going to be:

Fan fiction about the author.

***

example:

Gail Simone raised the cup of coffee to her lips, no lipstick, it was not that kind of morning. Today was a day for working. She sauntered over to the word processor and asked herself, "what should the Black Canary do in this situation? Should she run away with the Green Arrow and get married? Should she punch Dr. Light in the nuts? Should she totally make out with the Huntress?"

She paused and thought to herself, "hm" and sipped the coffee again. Needs more sugar.

***

Oh, man. So awesome. I look forward to this trend.

Especially when the self-insert and/or slash author fan-fiction begins.

Whole new worlds of desperation and depravity to feel better then.

We need to slip this idea under the pillow of the fan-fictsters.

We need to make this happen.

I really think Todd's thinking would be the most complicated... but it would just be a maze with only one or two exits.

I agree, but I suspect that Nice pete would have overlapping boxes and arrows that point out into nowhere and just a big box that says KNIVES with several arrows pointing towards it.

When I read this, I immediately thought of NPR's Robert Siegal and Terry Gross fan fiction, even though they aren't authors. I don't know why, unless my subconcious is trying to tell me something.

[MattFish]

my favorite part is "HE IS UGLY" "HILARIOUS"

[littlefallsmets]

NPR's Robert Siegal and Terry Gross fan fiction

Oh. Man. This doesn't actually exist, right?

Christ. I am now completely afraid that someday a pop-up ad will fill my computer with Garrison Keilor/Amy Sedaris slash fiction and I will have to shoot it. I will have to shoot my computer so as to make sure the slash fiction does not come back.

...not that Amy Sedaris isn't kinda hot in a "okay, she's a little too old for me but..." way.

But Garrison Keilor definitely is not.

LFM: You have just won the internet. Your Quest is over. We present you with a new Quest.

[chuanoplast]

I was paralyzed with shock and fear after LFM wrote those two names that are not horrible by themselves but together somehow create the worst possible image ever seen. I'm going to go wash my brain with brain-soap now.

Im glad my poll was popular, but I honestly did not expect lyle and the hive mind to place and show.
