Matt, why the upset look, ED IS THE FIRST TROLL IN YOUR FORUM!!! YOU SHOULD REJOICE!!! Your forums have already taken the next step as trolling is now starting to take form by well, trolls. Now for the next step, we need say, 10000 posters more? <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">

Good God! I'm beset by game show hosts! Weren't they one of the seven plagues visited upon Egypt by Moses? Or are they one of the signs of the Apocalypse talked about so much in that Revelations thing? Dammit, I can never keep my Biblical references straight. Eight years of Catholic grade school, and look where it got me.<P>Of course, that was seventeen ( <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/eek.gif"> ) years ago.<P>On the other hand, Alex Trebek <I>is</I> French-Canadian, so this wouldn't be some certain <I>other</I> French-Canadian that I know (although not Quebecois) playing some sick, twisted game of dress-up, would it? <I>Frank?</I><P>But you're right.

Oh and Matt, my guess is Yerzie will probably sell the whole album to Playboy Inc., and Portia suddenly becomes a Playboy star and buys her own space rocket to launch into space.... Errr ignore me... It's the cough syrup that is talking.... I've been having this wierd ass fever that goes on and off for 3 days.

Man, they're coming fast and furious, now! I can't keep up! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif"><P>Hmmm.... if it's not Damonk, I'm stumped. Interesting, but <I>rilly</I> bizzare. On the other hand, it could be those jokers from <B>PDI</B>, now that <I>they've</I> taken a bit of a liking to Portia, as well.<P>Celebrities! Apparently the coke-powdered atmosphere of Hollywood just can't hold their attention any more, and they're forced to prowl the seedy neighborhoods of the webcomic world for their daily fix. Remember Ed, the first taste is always free!<P>As for knowing how Alex Trebek is a French-Canadian, I'm not sure how I found that out. It may be that he mentioned it on the show once. I know that he pronounces his French words impeccably. Even those that in English are not pronounced in a French manner, he puts in those trills and swallowed vowels. He may, in fact, be a French-Canadian from Ontario. Or an Anglo from a town like Hull or Sherbrooke.<P>Oh, and that stuff about Canada. Did I say that <I>out loud?</I>

Mr. Trepal,<P>I just tied my shopping cart to the bench in front of the Grant Creek Public Library where I sleep most nights. Even here in GA the nights get cold & I like to come to the library to get warmed up a bit. As a result, I've learned how to use the internet these past couple years that I've been out in the streets. Anyway, my favorite thing to do while here is to check in on my favorite web comic, Fight Cast or Evade.<P>Long story, sorry. Anyway, I wanted you to know that someone is pulling your leg. I am the ONLY Phyllis Hossafaulkssen in this town & I NEVER received a check from Mr.(let me tell you how to feel) McMahon!! That was just plain cold what he did. What a nice young man that Dick Clark is, huh? <P>If you ever do hear from Ed again, please let him know where to find me. I'm having a bit of a cashflow problem since my "eu de skunk" perfume business went down the tubes. I never even received one copy of UTNE...but I read it here at the library.<P>Good luck to you, Mr. Trepal. Remember, there is a price for fame...like putting up with all these crackpot celebrities!

Dear Ms. Hossafaulkssen:<P>I'm so glad to hear from you, Phyllis (may I call you Phyllis?), and delighted to know that you enjoy my comic. It's really heartwarming to know that my work cuts across socio-economic and class lines as it appears to do. I'm also glad to see that the library is offering you shelter and Internet access, although it is disappointing to realize that even in this apparent time of plenty there are still people in this country without decent shelter or a luxury automobile. I'm sorry to hear that your perfume business did not pan out as you had expected.<P>As for Ed, well, you know he hasn't been the same since Carson left the <I>Tonight Show</I> and <I>Star Search</I> was cancelled. It's tough being an old, washed-up celebrity in the U.S. these days. Nobody returns your phone calls, <I>Fantasy Island</I> isn't around any more for you to make an embarassing guest appearance on, and you've got no cachet to pull in the starlets for a "casting call." All that's left for you to do is jerk around poor, unsuspecting webtoonists like myself.<P>I pity him, really.

Those guys from PDI are homosexuals.<P><H1>I SIR, AM NO HOMOSEXUAL</H1><P>Not that it's wrong. I just happen to lick...er...like women.<P>As for why I said Dick spelled something wrong, it's because he's an a$$hole!!<P>Yeah, you heard me Dick-head. The answer is: He's a vampire whose hosted every show on TV except Jeopardy because he's too much of a stupid a$$hole.<P>------------------
