Heya,
Back from God's country early. Rich's nose sniffed out this general store in upstate Georgia that still had toys from the 70's sitting on the shelf. Still had the 70's price tags too. He was in hog heaven and I wish you could have seen the clerk's face when he told them he wanted everything on the shelves.
Lan has been busy tweaking the pages. (thanks for the e-mails) and ignoring Jason's come-ons. Jason swears up and down that he's not interested but his flirt technique is like a great white shark in a feeding frenzy.
I saw the little flame war that erupted on the discussion board I refuse to take sides but I do think everyone should take a little "cool-out" time as my Mom use to say. Yelling and name calling never got anyone anywhere. Everyone should take this website in the spirit it was intended (a fun way to freak with your mind) Is the stuff true? Is the stuff fake? Who cares as long as it's keeps your interest.
I'm not a mad scientist working in a high castle in hopes of creating the perfect monster to screw with everybody's mind. (insert evil laugh here) I just like going out and investigating. The only thing I can promise is that everything I report on is as factual as I can make it. Stories that are reported to me and are impossible for me to check out should be taken with a grain of salt (or a tub of it)
Just keep saying to yourself "It's only a website, it's only a website."
Hope that clears everything up. If it doesn't then you should go elsewhere. (but before you go you should check out the sponsors and then go and buy a Freakylinks T-shirt)
Lan did some finish work on a couple of classic stories that I was working on before I left and they're up in the Freakopedia. That crystal skull always freaked me out as a kid, hope it does the same to you.
hurdy gur,
Derek "planet of freak" Barnes
