ANNOUNCING....THE DU COVEN!
Edited on Fri Oct-31-03 08:12 PM by khephra
I've noticed that a few of us are rather...errrrr...dark.

So screw being quiet or separate. MATCOM has their group, so let's hear it for the DU COVEN!

Who is with me?

1. I move that we first argue over how to pronounce it
"Its spelled coven, but its pronounced Coe-ven."

--

"You mean an umlaut?"

4. I wonder if Mark will ever get the money to make "Northwestern"
Edited on Fri Oct-31-03 08:19 PM by thebigidea
a couple years back, when I lived in Chicago, he was attempting to make it after that post-American Movie burst of interest.

He was still living with his mother, who was very sweet over the phone. I admit I had difficulty not laughing, but she was very nice any way.

I didn't end up joining in because I couldn't swing the schedule, but some friends were supposed to act in it. I never heard a word about it since.

7. I really felt uncomfortable with their money raising tactics
I think I'd have enjoyed their work a lot more if I didn't feel that they were stealing from old people.

9. yeah, my lacks of sales savvy is probably why I'm utterly obscure
I couldn't fit in very well in that used-car world.

I feel tremendously guilty asking people for money for movies... its like shoveling spare change into a black hole.

Though funding everything yourself using credit cards and the like tends to leave you even more miserable. Ah well. Its better than working at Wal-Mart, I guess.

Still, at least SOME of them have health care.

Not many, but STILL.

28. only if you have a terrifying cackle that frightens people
And a strange pet for your familiar. I guess a cat isn't very strange, but maybe if you call him "Lucifer" or something.

31. I have a familiar
Who's a vicious biscuit. I know she's not black, and she looks as much like an animated Monchichi doll as anything ... but last night she took down two cats and a dog who outweigh her by a combined forty pounds because she heard something outside the window...

She's cute but vicious. I'm only vicious.

And she reads MAD magazine with her butt.

36. She's cute, but she almost took Mr. Nownow's ear off one night.
Another case of hearing spooks out the window. She's a little terror!

Her name is now Doodle, though we originally called her Punk because the expression on her face reminds me of John Lydon.

56. I have a cat toy. Frankly, I don't know if just being cute qualifies it to
be a familiar. I'm not exactly up on this stuff. I am however a compulsive joiner. I even have a costco card. <preen>

I work for Truthout...I don't think they'll fire me for having black nails. Shit...why didn't I think of that before?

Can you put a DUC in there somewhere?

Great work, btw! Did you do it?
