Where is everybody?

I've been checking this site off and on for the past 5 hours and nobody's been here. It's now 2 o A.M. my time and the place is still deserted.

Reminds me of the episode of DUCKMAN when the town has a nuclear preparedness drill. Everyone in town takes to their subterranean shelters, except for DUCKMAN. Somehow they'd failed to mention it to him. So, he sees the entire city deserted and thinks somehow, someway he's the only person left on the planet. He makes the best of a bad situation and proceeds to level the city with bulldozers and wrecking balls. When the drill is over and everyone comes out from hiding, they see their city in ruins and think a nuclear catastrophe really has occured.

So, let me see what kind of mischief I can cause while I have the chance to run amuck in this place.

Well, I'm here. But I don't know when you were here. It's 8.50pm my time.

I don;t have the internet at my place, so I can only be here when I'm at my university. So no 5 am's for me. Sorry.
Cheers, Transaltor

"Where is Everybody" was the title of the first episode of "The Twilight Zone"--the one with which Ray's objections to that series started. Similar themes were explored in "Stopover in a Quiet Town" and "Elegy" and to some extent in "A Kind of Stopwatch," though in that one the main guy at least knew the cause of everyone being "frozen."

I saw that episode of Duckman. He tried hooking up with the def girl that didn't hear anything as well.

He was probably watching porn, or drunk and passed out, or a combination of both.

Not a bad way to spend time.

Damnit it's 4:30 AM, I can't fall a sleep. I know what that guy in "Death is a Lonely Business" feels like.

And I was even drunk for tha last half of today. What gives?

I think grasstains left the board after some...unpleasantness.

(As did I, but I had a change of heart!)

'Twas a misunderstanding on or about Valentine's Day. I think, alas! I was at least partially resposible for her aggravation, for which I've apologised, but, apparently, to no avail...
I miss her. One of the most vivid colours in our palette here, as it were.

Another night has fallen and off in the distance a dog is howling, reminding us of an emptiness. Where is grasstains?

I don't know why but I have had the feeling that grassstains is a young lady. But I was wrong about Wild Gravity. Is that person nearby?

That's "Mister gink" to you!

Anyway, I don't have the address, or I would've emailed long ago.

I did - a couple weeks ago. She hasn't said whether she'd be back anytime soon.

I must say, I'm certainly no gink!


"Live Forever!"
