Well, I threw together a quick New Year skin for you! Not great and the CBox did NOT play nice! I will put CBox back to normal in a couple days. The New Year skin is the default for now and I'll switch that when I put CBox back to normal. Hope you enjoy it. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!

Hi, we've added a few skins that are lighter and we're working on redoing all skins. If you go to the bottom of the page, on the left you'll find 'Change Theme', click on that and a list of skins will appear. If the skin starts with 'Pen' that's a new or updated skin. We're keeping the logos simple for now because there are a LOT of skins to come. We'll put them up and see which ones you like - A poll will be set up when we get more running. Once we have a good idea of which ones to keep, we'll upgrade the logos to fit each theme. If you have any comments or suggestions on ANY skin before the poll is up, PLEASE go ahead and let me know either here or with a PM!

I've moved back to the Pen - Myspace is dead, Facebook is too much drama, and so I've come home. With the help of a few others, we've been been rearranging a number of things, applying board and security updates. Along the way, we discovered that the formatting in many of the older posts has gone. This isn't an issue for most of the works, but is of concern for poetry, where the format is part of the mood and message. If you have posted a poem or song in the Banquet Hall, and can spare the time, it would be very nice if you could come by the Pen and reformat your works. They'll either be in the Banquet Hall, or under the Vaults of Time, in the Banquet Hall Archives. If you've forgotten your username, and/or password, please email me at peredhil31@hotmail.com, and let me know. If you have forgotten your username, it would help if you remember the email you used. I can update emails and passwords for you, if that would help. I'm currently dedicating two to three hours six days a week to the Pen, and look to be doing so for the foreseeable future. If you haven't the time to reformat your Poetry, let me know and I'll make my best guesses as to what you intended. respectfully, Peredhil

I like this. But, have to admit. I'm the guy who yells, "JUMP!"

Chicken, you can BBQ a chicken (but the egg came first!) Chili: Red or Green?

Dear Pennites, It may or may not be implied (though it shall neither be confirmed nor denied) that Snypiuer has just been cleared to reveal that, for approximately 40 years now, world governments (headed by U.S. Intelligence) have been secretly researching a 'Holiday' mystery. It has been conducted under a Top Secret Govt. Commission known as the "SIISSL - Scientific Inquisition Investigating Seasonal Salutations in Lyrics". Since the early 1970's, a seasonal phenomenon has been studied, in depth, by the greatest minds the Human race has ever produced, using the most advanced scientific tools available (including proto-type equipment based on theoretical extra-dimensional sciences) and the FULL resources of the most clandestine Black Book agencies. Once again, neither confirming or denying any ACTUAL costs, it may or may not be ASSUMED that, after exhausting irreplaceable resources, uncountable man-hours, unimaginable monetary expenditures, years of countless experiments and even more deaths and horrible disfigurements in conjunction with said experiments, a (non-official) preliminary conclusion has been arrived at. And, at this point in time, this commission is unofficially ready to, off-the-record, neither confirm nor deny that it is possible that, all aspects and conditions being equal, a non-binding consensus has been reached by a minority of peripheral investigators, pertaining to the core focus of said commission. This being: It is possible (in an unofficial and non-binding way) that, MAYBE, if taken in certain context, it can be inferred that, depending on one's own comprehension of the subject, that, when viewed and considered in its entirety, it seems that it could very well be that one 'Jose Feliciano' may or may not intend to, or have a desire to, 'wish' specific or non-specific individuals, what may or may-not be considered and/or referred to as a 'Merry Christmas' and/or a 'Happy New Year' Keep in mind that this is purely a preliminary conclusion and that the actual final 'official' findings are decades, if not centuries, from being confirmed - if, in deed, they are even possible to quantify. As such, it is best to simply disregard the entire preceding message and, in the future (perhaps - if further advancement is noted) a fuller, more complete, unofficial, non-binding preliminary conclusion may or may not be neither confirmed nor denied in either a private and/or public briefing, if at all. It is also to be noted that this message, in and of itself, is in no way intended to, nor should it be implied in any way what so ever, that being made public, as-such, neither gives credence nor substantiates, in any way, the existence or possible existence of ANY organization, either covert or public, which, may or may not, in any way, shape or form be involved with investigating any, or all, possible or hypothetical Seasonal Salutations or ANYTHING in conjunction to, pertaining to, or related to (in any way) aforementioned Salutations. And, therefor, should not, in any way, shape or form be construed to do so, by any individual, group, organization or network of individuals, groups or organizations. This may or may not be Snypiuer, neither confirming nor denying a desire, or intent, to wish any or all members of the Mighty Pen (and/or their families and/or loved ones), a Merry Christmas and/or a Happy New Year!

Wood, with a bear skin rug! Wombat or Capybara?

Imma regretting that ALREADY!

Flied Lice! Racist or NOT Racist!

al dente This goes back to another thread; Time Dimension or Concept

Dump and funnel. Physical or psychological?

At that very moment, Mr Moog (1 of Snypiuers' overlarge squirrel companions) enters the room wearing a grass skirt and Pacific Islander tribal tattoos. A fast drum beat is heard as he does a fire dance . . . it takes about 3 seconds for him to set himself on fire. At which point, Pith (the tallest of Snypiuers' squirrel companions) races in to turn his buddy out . . . BUT, not before Sil (the last of the companions) gives Mr Moog a look of, 'you poor dumb ninny' and launching into her best Alicia Keys voice, "This squirrel is on FIRE!" Pit laughs as he puts Mr Moog out and even Mr Moog gets a chuckle out of it. Suddenly, all 3 look at eachother and, for the briefest of moments, just at the furthest corner of their eyes, they glance at the shadow in the far corner of the room. They quickly gather themselves, make apologies and practically flee the room.

Jazz, I believe. Or maybe Swing. Perhaps Ska? Hmmm . . . I'll go with Punk. Undersleep or oversleep?

As the entourage was seated and Zool and Brighid chatted with Swami Noguru, no one noticed the dark shadow that was suddenly sittting in the far corner of the room. By . . . happenstance? . . . the wait staff avoided seating diners in that general area. Still, Zool, Brighid and the Swami all felt a small shiver and gave eachother a small, quick glance of trepidation. They immediately played it off and went on with there revelries. All the while with a tiny feeling of dread at the back of their thoughts.

Can you write ANYTHING that isn't good? More please!

Risk. For profit or just following orders.

words would only ruin the meaning of how much I like this.

Zool is correct. Most don't mind, but there are a few who are protective of their work. Then, again, what is the LEGAL answer to citing someones' work? Either way, I believe the COURTEOUS thing to do is ask first. As for names, I view them as nom de plumes. The only problem I see is if it is a name of an established character, like Gandalf or Iron Man.

Your lack of satisfaction is satisfying! Oh yeah, ANOTHER good read, let's have more.

Deaf. I am far too visual. Punch or kick.

I was going to respond to Zool with, "Huh?" Anyways, FUTURE! No explanation required. Front or back?

Depends if you're fighting or being. Fighting - Zombies. Being - Vampires. Health or long life?

O.K.! CHECK THEM OUT!

There should be about 10 skins listed - Let me check the settings.

Just added a military "Camo" skin. Have a Marine skin I'm working on the Logo though. CBox is iffy, needs work! Go to the bottom of the page and click 'Change Theme' and take a look at what we have. I have a BUNCH that I just need to make logos for. So, let me know what you think!
