Heeheeheehee.
Amber, as ever, delivers.
... pity about the monitor.
:giggle So now it is a secret dress :giggle
And it's so true, pain tells you you are alive.
Also, I guess we know what Amber wants (or needs) for her birthday.

I prefer all the other things that tell you your alive, other than pain and fear.
They seem unconcerned about their zombies sister (or the don't know yet)
Curious that the robe absorbed the magic, I'd have thought it would reflect or disperse it.
her tail and leg's still around... they can rebuild her... >:3
Yes, but I think DP has the technology.
Bit of a problem, there...
I don't know If i can weasel in a card before the 19th.
and the second dress comment came off kind of lame.
oooh, that's good... but aren't we still missing one member of our amazon party?
BTW, llearch, I do believe that you are not using the same calendar as everyone else. :<
(monday is the 18th)
OK all, I was going to make a thread about this, but one exists for the date. What type of cake should Tailsteak and I make for her?
Ideas?
Well, at least Anna's okay. Now we just have to worry about their other sister. And where Dark Pegasus is. Hey, did anyone else catch how they called him "the Dark Pegasus," like it's a title or something?
Sucks to hear about the monitor, Amber. It's a very cute drawing of your anger at it, though.
And I hope that you have a happy birthday as well! I mean, I'll wish you one on your birthday too, but here's a preemptive one. And a hug of support: :hug

Ouch, I'm sorry you have to be there that early.
Actually, now that I think about it, if the robe "absorbs" magical attacks, maybe it can be overloaded by hitting it with too much magic...
YAY! So the green one is alive!

Monitors, I have yet to have a single one go out on me yet.
My original Packard Hell monitor from 93 is still kicking, although it has rarely seen power since 2000.

:erk There are not enough words in "dude, that sucks" to adequately describe the suckiness of that situation.
As for the comic... I had thought this was the first time DAN defeated DP, but looking back all he's doing is responding to Fi's question of "Who is this Dark Pegasus and why are we going to stop him?" So... yeah, there's no proof Dan had anything to do with beating DP at all this time.

(don't think for a second I plan to pay the penalty for setting alight the grail shaped beacon, though!)
Nice to see he's alive but sucky for the monitor
I like how Shanna is grinning like a happy child at him... and how they called Daniel, Danna :3.
I guess they are looking on the bright side of things.
Hanna's spirit is now free to pass on.
These are probably new-age amazons that judge an individual on who they are and not what sex they are. Dan went with them into battle, he defended one of their sisters (tried to help a second one in battle) and all in the early days of his adventuring.
Man I had something like that happen. Except my power supply died. And my birthday present was a new power supply. That does not work with my motherboard.
Hook the computer up to the TMNT arcade machine.
>_>
Oooh, does that mean there's hope for their other sister as well? After all, he let the one live no problem, maybe he just did a teleport switch with the one and a pile of dust? You never know, it could happen :sweatdrop:

That may be, but given Dan's eagerness to tell it, it would make sense if he actually did something constructive. "Let me tell you about the first time Dark Pegasus smashed my head in!" isn't a story I'd be particularly keen to relate...

Monitors, I have yet to have a single one go out on me yet.
I guess you bought expensive monitors. My 1991 monitor died around 1996, the followup lasted a few more years. I got a nice 15" monitor with a broken power switch around 2002. That died two years later. I got an LCD unit but it was unbearable. I managed to snag a 17" one from work and that died a couple of months ago, but fortunately I had an exact replacement which I was able to swap in. I now have two dead CRTs, two working ones and a horrible LCD screen which I don't use.
When my current CRT conks out, I'm considering getting a VP930 LCD display, which supposedly has good enough colour reproduction that it is suitable for TV work, while not costing $8000.

The last time I typed anything of consequence was 8pm last night, when I typed (all as one line):
imp msirc/.....@staging FILESIZE=2000m BUFFER=200000
FEEDBACK=2500 GRANTS=Y INDEXES=Y ANALYZE=Y ROWS=Y COMMIT=N CONSTRAINTS=Y IGNORE=N SHOW=N
LOG=/tmp/oracle_import.$(/opt/csw/bin/gdate -I).log
FILE=$(for i in $(/opt/csw/bin/gls -v /u03/dumps/2008-08-15/staging-00-00.dmp-*); do echo -n $i,; done)
... which was mostly copy/pasted from the other work I've been doing for the last two weeks.
Sadly, since then I've been waiting for that command to complete; since the export files sum up to approx 20Gb, it takes a while to import them...
a) Seems like "Danna" is going to be a perpetual in-joke with the two now... (meaning that one day, Aliyka will bring it up at the most inopportunate time)
b) Considering how Shanna says "Pain means you aren't dead
or undead yet!", the undead-ness may have been seen more as a curse than a blessing by Shanna (and possibly Hannah), which could explain why she isn't as put down..

Anyways, sucks to hear about her monitor. Maybe a monitor shaped cake in whatever flavors she likes?
So Amber, been doing DMFA for 10 years? Well, just look at it this way, Stan Lee has been doing comics for a billion years at least by now!
So you can look forward to doing DMFA FOREVER!!! :mwaha

I'm gonna start calling you Hennya if you do.
As for what sort of cake to make, you can't go wrong with double fudge. Seriously, chocolate is the ultimate solution for everything. Except, y'know, severe chocolate allergy...
As to the comic, I wonder if Shanna knows about Hannah yet...
So, apparently Anna can photosynthesis.
That's awesome. *_*
And,my bet is they're going to ask "Where's Hannah?"

You bring up a good point, though. Anna knows what happened to Hannah, but with a broken jaw, she wouldn't have been able to tell them.
Nah I've only bought three expensive ones, my current two for my main machine and the third which I've offered to Amber in a PM, no response as of yet and at work so no info on the box yet.
No not you Learch!
It's a big ass tube and weighs in at 50LBs. Professional series though.
All the rest are "el cheapos" from Proview with the exception of an HP and the Packerd Hell.
I've bought them over the years for upgrades in size and picture quality, that and dual monitor configurations rock! :ipod
if it's any consolation to amber my monitor is biting the dust as i type, at first it just quivered on the screen a bit but now i start the computer consistently to half the screen missing and/or squashed...
any ways HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! HURRAY your a single year older now!
Deus Ex Chiton ? :P
I'm probably gonna make Amber mad by saying this, but my desktop, which I barely use, has a monitor built in '91 that still functions perfectly.
As too the comic, the pain in the abdomen makes me worry for Dan's Squeedily-spooch or whatever organs characters in Amber's universe have :B I hope he doesn't have internal bleeding, shivers at that possibility, but I'm probably worrying too much, course it was suggested that a lung puncture was feared so... Eh, maybe its just a sinking feeling. I'm probably thinking about that too much... hmmm... Looks like Dan's slowly losing that silly pink thing that he was stuck in.
Bah! I can't stop worrying for Dan's health! Fi! I'm with you! I hope he survives this one! Durrrrrr... :U

Unlike most creatures, pain is GOOD for Dan, since he practically feeds on it. I'd say he's not going to have an appetite for a long while... And besides, http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_928.php
Hooray for Amber's upcoming birthday and Dan's survival!
...Why is Shanna still referring to Dan as 'Danna' when it's quite clear now that he's a dude?
And don't worry Amber. Computers are notoriously fickle when it comes to appeasing their owners. Odds are you'll still have it for a month or two before it dies, then taunts you by coming back to life for all of three days before breathing its last. ...Wow, I'm really not helping. Ah well. Accept my sympathies anyway.
now that it's Amber's birthday in my timezone too, I have to say...
:bday
Happy Birthday, Amber, may your next year be fruitful and filled with good things. :)

It's Amber's birthday in my time zone too, so Happy Birthday Amber! :bday Many happy returns of the day!

I used to have three dead monitors in the basement. (My wife made me get rid of them. She wouldn't believe that I might someday have a use for them.) To give you an idea of their age, two were Commodore Amiga monitors (made by Commodore). Monitors just don't fail the way they used to. However, there are many who don't miss the electrical arcs and instant smoke screens.

Count me among those. If I have a particle accelerator with an EHT supply in it, I'd like to think that the 26 kilovolts is going to the right place >:3
That said, my other monitor died with a good old-fashioned field collapse. Too much integration to be salvageable, though :<
I feel the pain of those with computer failure. My laptops first hard drive had what I described as the computer equivalent of a stroke, It just held together long enough for me to retrieve most of what I wanted. Since the second hard drive the cd drive broke, the battery's efficiency took a dive and I broke my power supply. Various desktops in my house have broken down as well.
I'm wondering if I have that affect on technology. :rolleyes

yeah, it might start a whole new religion.
But then the geeks and nerds would call that moniter false savior, because they were all looking for the moniter that would lead them in a revolt against the jocks and preps.
Has anyone just stared at the odd shape the wings make when looked at from above? And I never realized Shanna's hair was so evenly cut down the middle.
Happy Birthday Amber!

I'm pretty sure I get it, and I'm eighteen...does that count as a "youngin"?
Computer failure sucks. My old laptop kept blowing power cords a few months after I got it, so my parents got me a desktop about a year ago. I think they sent the laptop off to be serviced and plan on keeping it <.<

On the subject of your monitor, do you have your computer (and monitor) plugged into an Uninterruptible power supply (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply)? If you don't, I would recommend that you get one. I consider them vital for any computer equipment.
Did you bring her cake, guys? ;)
