If you're reading this, I think it's pretty safe to assume you've been digging around in the archives, since I honestly doubt this little site will be getting any hits before I get some word of mouth floating around about it. I put this up here because for the last couple weeks I've been so bored I've done practically nothing but play Final Fantasy Tactics (this time through I decided to master EVERY job with the main character before doing a single thing plot wise) and reading the archives of the daily rantings on other people's pages. Specifically those of Sharkey, creator of >8)>, which is a very amusing comic strip, and Thor Antrim, who as you may know recently retired on good terms as RPGamer's letters guy. For the record I believe he is the first person ever to do that. I won't link to his page though, because recently people have been tossing that link around like crazy and he's been getting flooded.

Oh darn, there I went blowing all the space on boring intro garbage. I might as well just stick some boring personal fluff in here and call it a posting. Here goes:

Most people who make pages like this tend to have very big egos. I don't. Far from it in fact. You are never going to see me posting my real name or picture on here. So why DID I make this? Simple. I'm extremely funny and I'm not afraid to admit it. Now, that statement SOUNDS like I have a big ego, so I will now back it up with proof:

  • I have a friend who never laughs at anything unless it's said by me or MST3K.
  • I managed to heckle Grave of the Fireflies to the extent that everyone else in the room was laughing out loud the whole time. In fact I think they'll still crack a smile if you say Fruit Drop Water to them.
  • I can (and do fairly often) walk up to a total stanger and make them laugh out loud or be deeply disturbed as per my whims.
  • and finally... Babboon Hearteo.

That one I think I should explain, the rest are pretty self evident. (If you haven't seen Grave of the Fireflies, good for you. It's a hideously bleak brown and white anime set during World War 2 about two little homeless kids that starve to death.) Babboon Hearteo however requires some explaination.

As you may remember, a long time ago there was a Valentine's Day episode of The Simpsons in which Bart took a cow's heart and said "My babboon heart... body... rejecting it!" and then threw it across the table. So far so good? Now you know where the babboon heart part comes from, now for the eo. There are a number of sources you can acredit that to. I would go with Dragon Half. An obscure anime "series" of which there are only 2 episodes, both available on one tape. Anyway, all that matters about it for these purposes is that the main character frequently says "Dragon Halfeo!" in a standard high pitched girly anime voice. This is the correct way to say Babboon Hearteo. I'm almost done here. For the final part of the origin of Babboon Hearteo, one must play Bomberman 64 in multiplayer. In that game, if you were unaware, you can get this little heart powerup that prevents you from dying. Instead, the heart pops out of your icon and bounces across the screen to be picked up again. Anyway, I was sitting there, playing the game, and, with the heart, took a hit. I immediately exclaimed "Babboon Hearteo!" in my best cute little hyper anime girl voice, which if I do say so myself isn't to bad considering the fact that I'm uh... not. Everyone else in the room began laughing and didn't stop for 2 days. That made winning Bomberman 64 a whole lot easier by the way. In fact, one friend of mine said something to the affect of "The funniest things I ever seen/heard in my life were UHF, then MST3K, then Dragon Half and then the time [Nice try, I'm not printing my real name!] said Babboon Hearteo." Other references to Babboon Hearteo include "You mustn't play in the road Babboon Hearteo." and the fact that in his last column, Thor Antrim ATE Babboon Hearteo. Good for him, he gets another life, and I have more around here. Then there's also Mr. Babboon, but I think I'll make enough references to that down the road. Suffice it to say, he's the only non-demon in my army (er, nevermind).

Intros suck.
