I must note for the record (and to keep my geek status intact) that Klingon actually is a separate language with an independent functioning vocabulary and grammar, rather than just being a collection of bits of pidgin Russian one may toss into English.

The Animatrix

Has anyone seen any of these shorts? Are they any good? Can you even see them yet? I know that there is a dvd coming out in June that I believe contains all of the shorts, but is there a way to see them now?

If you can see them, do they help explain some things between Matrix i and ii?

Hey, what can I say, I find constructed languages really interesting. Some people follow sports, I find sound-changes in Elvish fascinating.

So when you want to come over and watch Shatner in Incubus, you just let me know and bring beer.

Let me guess, you were the weird girl with thick glasses in HS who founded the Esperanto club with the fat kid with asthma and the exchange student who could communicate only by pointing and drawing pictures.

The only change should be the removal of sponsor's exemptions.

Grassy-Ass.

I liked the book as well but don't often find myself speaking in "Clockwork Tongue." Of course, Mr. ThrashersFan may like it if I offered him "a bit of the in-out, in-out."

What else would they do, limit sponsors' exemptions to men?

Yeah, that would fly.

Speaking of cults, any idea which Star Trek episode this comes from? click here (sound file where Spock gets all preachy about drug use)

Also Grabbed from Clay's Sound Emporium: Shatner torturing old songs. This is the page with links: http://www.kcbx.net/~rloomis/odd.html

I don't think it would fly either, but I imagine they would adopt bylaws similar to those of the LPGA, disallowing women any and all access.

Um..thanks?
Oh, I see, it is supposed to be cute! You were making a funny!

Oooh, ok. I'll go out and get a tivo right away, so I can watch it even when I am out.

Maybe Bilmore could watch with me? We can get a mini tv for our Kayaks.
