Here's our content for Day 3 of Cliffhanger Week....
<ul>[*]DS9's "The Siege" by Kira, wrapping up the trilogy.[*]The OC's "The Dearly Beloved," the shocking season finale, by me.[*]The beginning of another TNG two-parter: Next Gen's "Gambit I" by Derek.[*]And finally, Cliffhangers, Part 2, by Derek.[/list]

Be here tomorrow for Day 4, which for a change will not be distributed DS9/OC/TNG!

First: Zeke, there's something seriously wrong with that link for "Gambit 1" -- twice, it started my HD spinning continuously, and nothing worked; I had to do a hard restart to get out of it. Have a look at it, please? I'll read the fiver when it's safe.

Now, then:
:snicker:
:D

Derek, that was a delightfully deranged "Cliffhangers", and I'll get back to you on "Gambit".

And those are some messed-up people in the O.C. :D

Good work, all!

Yes, Kira, kudos on your fiver. It's really hilarious. Lots of Star Wars. And I like the joke of Li's inability to speak in front of people between your and Marc's fivers.

And I didn't realize this until the other day, but during 5MD's anniversary, we published "Duet" and the comic "In the Hands of the Prophets", both of which help set up the Circle trilogy, not to mention directly precede it, so it's sort of like a Douglas Adams trilogy.

Great job on the OC, Zeke. I don't quite understand all the jokes, or all the characters (I originally thought Sandy would be a girl), but oh well.

And yeah, something's seriously wrong with Gambit. It didn't quite crash my computer, but it ground it to a halt for a good long time, only to show me a gabillion php errors when the server finally ran out of memory. For those of you interested in Gambit, it went something like:

La Forge: Picard's dead; Riker's been captured; now what do we do?
Data: I don't know, but I don't like the way Worf keeps eyeing the captain's chair.

>> And I like the joke of Li's inability to speak in front of people between your and Marc's
fivers. <<

I got a good laugh too to see that in Kira's fiver Li still can't get more than two words out when speaking in public. It's a good thing he was working an easy crowd. :)

>> And yeah, something's seriously wrong with Gambit. <<

It upset my computer too.

>> during 5MD's anniversary, we published "Duet" and the comic "In the Hands of the Prophets", both of which help set up the Circle trilogy <<

Along the same lines, readers who were baffled by the closing gag in "Duet" may have noted that all three parts of the Circle Trilogy provide the explanation. Think of it as a delayed-action joke. ;)

Try the link on the front page. It works fine for me.

Ack! Okay, here it is for real:

There's been an awful lot of Monty Python lately. Stop stealing my schtick, all of you. :P

This has to be the longest running gag I've ever seen. Well done.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

*znerk* The sad thing is that I had Bashir's reaction before I read Bashir's line.

Excuse me. I'm going to go poke out my eyes with a fork. *twitch*

It's all Bareil's fault. If he hadn't been there to hear it, they shuttle never would have crashed. Or something.

Hah! I love it.

Redbacks are scarier (and bigger) than black widows.

*znerk*

Hey! That's national profiling. Just because she comes from a frozen wasteland, you automatically assume she knows how to make snowballs.

*hides pile of snowballs behind nearby moose*

Booooooo! (In Bizarro world, boo means yay).

Excellent work. Can't wait for the next installment.

That guest is right -- I left out the 1 in the link in this thread and on the news page. The front page was fine, which is why I didn't notice.

In future, I strongly suggest that if a 5M link you click on takes more than a second or two to load, you just press Stop or Back rather than letting it continue to infinite-loop till it crashes something....

Heheheh.

:lol:


:D

:lol:

Heehee.

:lol: :twisted: :lol:

:D


:D

Heehee :mrgreen:

:mrgreen:



:mrgreen:

Hmmm...

Uh-HUH :P ;)

:mrgreen:

:lol:

Couldn't. As I said, nothing worked -- not the browser buttons, not the key-commands. (I compared the code to that for what I knew was a working link, but missed the missing "1".) Anyway, glad it's figured out.

Onward:
Heh heh heh heh. :D
Heheheh.
Well, that was worth the wait. Great Part 1, Derek. :D I wait to see what happens in Part 2.

Shouldn't that be møøse?

bwahahahahahah


just watched the holy grale and life of brian for the 500th time or so

great references :wink:

Great stuff all! :D


Zeke - you really should fix that infinite loop problem. It's causing lots of problems.


I happen to have a very fast computer with lots of memory, and a really fast internet connection, so that link ate up 400 megabytes of memory in less than a second! :o

He's on it. Give the man a little room to work *g*

Dammit, I go away for the weekend and what happens? I miss all the really interesting errors. Bah. :cry:

(Yeah yeah, the fivers were very funny to, probably.)

"Sudden arboreal stop" -- heheheh.

I can really picture this. :)
