I haz most of the Marx Brothers work (though the big box set is currently loaned out) and those movies, soup + grilled cheese, and the anthologies of Calvin and Hobbes are my sekrit cure for days when you're either really sick or really depressed

And another Recommendation: Duck Soup, both for nomming and for watching

I suspect it's a matter of which you were exposed to first/most. The Three Stooges/Marx brothers split is very much like the Abbot and Costello/Laurel and Hardy split in that sense...one came a bit before both have defintie parallels, and people usually prefer whichever one they watched the most of when they were little

(Walks by dressed as Gummo Marx, thereby going completely unnoticed)

Can't say I've noticed any real difficulty finding teams at any time I've logged on lately. Mornings, late night, middle of the afternoon durning a sick day...the only thing I haven't seen are the spamming requests from the AE for boss farms.
For a recent example I'll just take this past wednsday, I logged in around 10am eastern with the intent of checking a couple auctions, so no LFT flag, not sending any global messages to friends, and no attempts to contact anyone...less thatn 5 minutes from logging on I recieve an invitation to a team. Since I had a few hours befpre work i decided to join up for a bit, we had a 7-8 person team running for 2-3 hours, and a good time was had by all. This is obviously just anectdotal data, but it's fairly typical for any time I log on to virtue...no real trouble finding teams and no lack of people to play with.

I declare today official napday!

*naps*

*Gets blown out from under the sofa by the leafblower, landing with a kerflumph*

=@.@=

*watches the epic tussel for a bit, then goes to the now empty other cushion fortress, raises the NinjaFairyKittenSylvania flag and takes a nap*

Also, never said good morning back Fed...I fix.

*Writes GOOD MORNING FED AND NEKO on a box of donuts and reeses cups, loads in the catapult and fires into the tussel*

Now back to napping!

And too sleepy for the big, long everyone good-morningness, so to everyone I just say HI!!!!

*Runs by in a pig costume, sneezing wildly*

Well of course the Giants would beat the cowboys...it'd be all YeeHaw, followed by some stomping and squishing.

Hope the horseys had the good sense to stay home

*Has a fourth second breakfast to tide over til pre-lunch*

*Gives the Fed a chocolate frosted donut, then heads off to work*

Haz good day peeps. Don't get into any really fun trouble unless it's really fun.

YAY! Donut!

*noms what is certainly not an outerspace-y mindwipeish donut at all*

They "Take care" of us the same way Vinnie and Bobby "Take care" of us, which ias to say that everything is fine up to a certain point, and then we know to much and are forced to go shoe shopping with the cement fishies.

And the greys decided the beards would be a dead giveaway Neko

Sorry Sheckster, you're just one of the millions of victims of the vast Norris Media Conspiracy. The Greys are behind it, but they're wearing wigs and fake mustaches so you'd never know

Abe Vigoda is an unstoppable engine of pure awesome that will walk across space to slap the sun when it finally trys to swallow the earth. I read it on the back of a matchbook, and I know it's true because I'd just written it there and so it was the most up to the minute news possible

Also I need a deathray. And by deathray I mean a gun that shoots a cohesive beam of grim reapers.

/e checks EBay

completely rude to do otherwise really. It'd roughly be like an author writing a short story about another authors characters without consulting them, minus the financial considerations of course.

Funny thing about the shiny new color powersets...first thing I did was go through on my new steampunky SS/Inv tanker and turn all the effects as invisible as possible because he's just a big old clockwork robot that's good at smacking stuff. Also switched a few of the SS punches around, just for variety....then went to Victory and logged on to my much ignored Banana/Regen scrapper and made him not look utterly lame ...now has black and red poison spikes that match his tattoos

The Fed is definately still a sackboy, just excitedly bursting forth from a paper bag or some cardboard I think.

It should tell you to register, but not require you to...just finish the download and use your normal login info.

This discussion sparked my interest in the game, but since I work Saturday nights I wouldn't be able to join the usual group...so i made a rogue/ranger for awesomesauce soloability, and being sick the last few days have gotten up to 3rd level and already gotten my leveling sigil to open up 5-8. Fun game is fun .

Of course stupid me for letting the game pick my charatcer early on. Now I haz INT penalty messing up my finding of sekrit doors and openning of runes.

Very happy about the sigil though, was a reward option on the normal difficulty run through of the Butchers Path quest, and from what I hear, that's where lots of people get theres...plus good loot and lots of pray beads and wooden idols to turn in to the kobold who collects them.

*Iz asleep and soggy*

I iz download DDO right noa.

Home sick today, so perfect timing

But download is SLOW

also HI PEEPS!!!!! *waves too vigerously, gets tired out, tips over and falls asleep*

I played the open beta. There were some neat things, but didn't really enjoy actually playing the game. Maybe I'll check it out again at some point in the future and see how it has evolved, but for now it's not my particular cup of tea.
