Since we're introducing ourselves, I am the somewhat mysterious Mr. Fnord, a regular on the EPU boards and gadfly for Nathan's pet project. No one has seen my true face and lived -- except Bob DeJesus, and that's only because I paid for the sketch.
I rule the wastelands between the East and West Coasts from deep within the Fortress of Arrogance, located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. None dare venture closer than Chicago without asking my leave, and those who trespass suffer a fate that is both terrible and humiliating.
Obligitory Self-Promotional Link: www.jihad.net/ is my own pet project, not affiliated with Osama bin Laden. (Not anymore, at least.)
I think that's about all you're cleared for at the moment, so this transmission will end in 35 seconds...

"I. Drink. Your. NERDRAGE!"

..well, okay, sort of. I remember the cartoon but I don't remember the name of it, curse my quirky memory.
Anyway...
The 'toon in question had Bugs wind up in Paris (via getting packed into a shipment of carrots from the States) and becoming the target of two rival French chefs. The usual antics enuse of course, until Bugs persuades Chef A (no, I don't remember the names) to let him demonstrate a secret bayou recipe for roast rabbit - using the chef as the rabbit.
Near the end of the sequence Chef B rushes in, mistakes Bugs for Chef A and tries to make off with the covered roastpan with the chef in it. Chef B lifts the lid, and we get our line:
Chef B: !
Chef A: You were expecting maybe Humphrey Bogart?
Explanations, demands and a pretty funny ending follow. I'm *pretty* sure this is a McKimson cartoon, maybe mid-50s, but don't quote me on that.

I mentioned this before over on the DW3 forum, but this is a more appropriate place:
If you want to get fansubs of Kodomo no Omocha (aka "Kodocha"), you'd best do it now! Kodocha Anime, the primary source of Kodocha fansubs, is shutting down in six weeks or less. They will take orders up until the end of October, but after that, forget it. Run, don't walk, to www.animemetropolis.com/k.../main.html and make your orders. They take Paypal and are very fast on their turnaround.

This pushes the bounds of what I defined this area for, but hell, I'm the board op, I can do what I want. Actually, I know that a lot of DW's readers are also EPU fans, so here's a little EPU stuff just for them:

Honestly, I don't expect a lot of traffic in this area. But I've been planning to open a Cafepress.com online store for DW and Warriors merchandise for about a year now, and I just may get to it soon...
Anyone else, well, you're welcome to post here if it has some relevance to my site or my writing, or you can convince me it's in the general interest of the community here. Used copies of my books and stuff like that are always welcome. But I'm going to stomp on anything that seems out of place or spammish! Be forewarned!

Has worked its magic once again. The moment I post a whinge on the old board as to how the new one isn't cooperating... the new one cooperates.
Hi all, it's me, better known as Croaker in many places (like, say, the Eyrie boards), but the name was taken here, so I used one of my other ones.
And I really, really, really want more!

There's too much intelligent life down here!!!
I'm the second non pre-reader, non MIB to sign up.
I'm also the one who writes another universe hopping fic. When Bob first started posting DW-2 to the FFML I panicked. It seems that he and I came up with similar ideas at just about the same time. The two leading charecters both even started out as V&V charecters.
Of course, my only concern now adays is that DW is so much better known (and more than a touch better written, thank's to Bob's professional writing experiances) that some people might think I ripped his idea off.
Not that my own following believes that... its just that the following of my story is smaller than Bob's; in fact, I've noticed that the folks who do read my stuff also read Bob's, and a lot are also Rabid Crack Weasels in good standing as well."I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."

... and saw both "XXX" and "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever" (which my mind keeps trying to conflate together as "Ballistic: XXX vs. Sever", but never mind that...).
Anyway, in front of "XXX" was a trailer for a film called "The Transporter" -- and if the action in the trailer is any indication of the rest of the movie, I'm going to see it. Because the title character moves like I envision Looney Toons can, but don't have enough imagination to describe. Wow.

I have a small file of omake; I think I can share this one without having to worry about spoilers. Enjoy.
