Couple of things to catch up on...way for me to completely forget it was cam day...would have only been home to catch the very beginning since I ended up swimming but still...I gotta make more of an effort now that softball's over.

Now most imporantly, there's a chance my pencil was on the cam?? Excitement! Cat, it's not exactly blue...it's...rainbowish...or kinda...reflectivish? You know you turn it and it's very shiny and looks diff. colors in diff. lights? I know from the DRS backstage video Jo gave him a much bigger engraved pencil, that was regular yellow, but that's hung up on his wall/ceiling. And this pencil was used to kill Andrew? Wow I'd be so honored if my pencil participated in that...

Dre and Traci, a couple posts in, I figured out you were going backstage, that's great congrats, though I'm glad you said it instead of making occasional mention, I hate half-truths...will look forward to seeing you guys on the cam, if I'm here/remember...ooh but going along w/ what I just wrote...do you think you guys can do me a favor? I am curious if my pencil found a permanent home in Greg's dressing room...think you could take a glance around for me or maybe mention it or something? Or...you know, even take a pic of it's place if it's in a nice, observable place...but yeah, don't worry about it if not, when I went, there was so much I wanted to see and ask and observe and I keep realizing that I missed so much. Oh well.

Cam looked interesting...he said Wed instead of Sat? That's excellent. Can you guys think of any other funny moments that may have been on teh cam that you referred to taht I won't get from the slide show?

And yeah, knew my first post was about my first encounter with him, b/c I remember this thread being started a couple of days after.

I thought about it, and I'm pretty sure I hafta go back to DRS, show, some point before fall. I'm becoming slightly addicted, will be my 7th time. Hmm...I think I should get some free tickets or at least discounts for being the team manager...or at least a cap if not uniform, that wouldn't be so much to ask...hrmph...I should have stole Justin's...

*Love for Greg* His webcam provides hours of endless entertainment.



5th post in the thread.

So, how was the cam tonight?

[movieinmymind]

Posted: 8/7/05 at 1:15am

hmm...looks like i didn't miss much! which, is good! lol (no more floating and stuff, huh?)

oh my gosh, my cousin's sweet sixteen cost around $12,000! i mean, i'm sorry, but...it was EXACTLLY like a wedding! she had TWO white gowns, a catillion (however it's spelled), and her cake was just like a wedding cake. oh my gosh. thank goodness I didn't have a sweet sixteen this year! i was planning on having an 18th birthday party, but, considering how much it costs now, my mom said that i could see as many broadway shows as i wanted instead! can you believe that!? cuz, no matter how many i see, she's sure that the tickets will cost a LOT less than 12,000 dollars in the end! lol! well, lemme just say, that that would be my dream 18th birthday present. better than a car, even. (almost. )

anyways, gonna go to bed, cuz i have to wake up early for church! geeze, i'll have like...6 hours of sleep! oh well, i can do it, i guess!

[WesternSky2]

Posted: 8/7/05 at 1:21am

$12,000?! Its like on that MTV TV show, My Sweet Sixteen or something. Only hopefully your cousin isn't a brat. lol

For y'all who missed the cam, it was largely uneventful, a girl named Jen I believe basically sat in the dark for two hours with very few appearences from Greg...And more importantly I learned how to put an image UNDER the text, with muuuuch coaching from Mamie!

[WesternSky2]

Posted: 8/7/05 at 1:32am

Well, that's special! lol

[movieinmymind]

Posted: 8/7/05 at 2:13am

congrats, cat!

and actually, she's not my cousin by blood; our moms went to college together, so our families are close.

anyways, no she's not spoiled. she actually has an older brother and younger sister, so it's not like she's an only child. (like most of those brats are on "sweet sixteen.") also, she's really nice, and humble. and very shy. but, also very talented. her whole family does ballroom, so, i guess that's where all the money went; to the practices and dresses for the performances. not to mention a room with a BIG dance floor! lol. she actually won first place for the waltz in her latest competition, which i think is awesome. however, her mom looked scared when we asked her about her other daughter, who is going to be 16 in 2 years. that kinda sucks, cuz you can't give the first daughter something, and not to the younger one. oh well. lol!

however, i would've used taht 12,000 to see DRS 120 times. haha!

OPEN LETTER TO KANSAS SCHOOL BOARD

I am writing you with much concern after having read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design should be taught along with the theory of Evolution. I think we can all agree that it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can choose for themselves the theory that makes the most sense to them. I am concerned, however, that students will only hear one theory of Intelligent Design.

Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him.

It is for this reason that I’m writing you today, to formally request that this alternative theory be taught in your schools, along with the other two theories. In fact, I will go so far as to say, if you do not agree to do this, we will be forced to proceed with legal action. I’m sure you see where we are coming from. If the Intelligent Design theory is not based on faith, but instead another scientific theory, as is claimed, then you must also allow our theory to be taught, as it is also based on science, not on faith.

Some find that hard to believe, so it may be helpful to tell you a little more about our beliefs. We have evidence that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe. None of us, of course, were around to see it, but we have written accounts of it. We have several lengthy volumes explaining all details of His power. Also, you may be surprised to hear that there are over 10 million of us, and growing. We tend to be very secretive, as many people claim our beliefs are not substantiated by observable evidence. What these people don’t understand is that He built the world to make us think the earth is older than it really is. For example, a scientist may perform a carbon-dating process on an artifact. He finds that approximately 75% of the Carbon-14 has decayed by electron emission to Nitrogen-14, and infers that this artifact is approximately 10,000 years old, as the half-life of Carbon-14 appears to be 5,730 years. But what our scientist does not realize is that every time he makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage. We have numerous texts that describe in detail how this can be possible and the reasons why He does this. He is of course invisible and can pass through normal matter with ease.

I’m sure you now realize how important it is that your students are taught this alternate theory. It is absolutely imperative that they realize that observable evidence is at the discretion of a Flying Spaghetti Monster. Furthermore, it is disrespectful to teach our beliefs without wearing His chosen outfit, which of course is full pirate regalia. I cannot stress the importance of this, and unfortunately cannot describe in detail why this must be done as I fear this letter is already becoming too long. The concise explanation is that He becomes angry if we don’t.

You may be interested to know that global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s. For your interest, I have included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average global temperature over the last 200 years. As you can see, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature.



In conclusion, thank you for taking the time to hear our views and beliefs. I hope I was able to convey the importance of teaching this theory to your students. We will of course be able to train the teachers in this alternate theory. I am eagerly awaiting your response, and hope dearly that no legal action will need to be taken. I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world; One third time for Intelligent Design, one third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and one third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence.

Sincerely Yours,

Bobby Henderson, concerned citizen.

P.S. I have included an artistic drawing of Him creating a mountain, trees, and a midget. Remember, we are all His creatures.

ANNOUNCER
Welcome to the first ever Greg Fans United awards. Before we start, we ask that you silence all cell phones and pagers. Unwrap all candy, and please, no flash photography or video recording at any time.

CAROLE ANN (GAV)
Shhhhhh! Quiet, Norbert!

NORBERT
Sorry.

ANNOUNCER
And now, your hosts...Gavrochegirl and Norbert Leo Butz!

Control your anger, Gav. We don't want a scene, do we?
