dude, you're at a scrapbooking convention! You've got to be surrounded by the sweetest spirits in all of Utah! What do you need help with?

By the way, I understand you're only back for ONE day next week, I need to talk to you about something editorial in that time, so don't shrug me off :)

Fell, you should have been at ALA with me. It was awesome.

Never been to a convention :)
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

If you had internet access at 11am, why haven't you been online more?

So how is that "adorable layout featuring cute colors and grosgrain ribbon" coming along?

What do they even talk about there? Different types of paper or something?

All right, looks like we're going to have to mount a rescue operation.  Stealth team, gear up!  We'll leave a cardboard cutout of Fell in his place, then bring him back for deprogramming.

If Fell had any conviction he would be where he is right now. But I'm still not wholey certain why Fell would be at a conviction.

And Ent, you've never been to a convention? Inprobable!

Nope, never. AFAIK there is only 2 or 3 anime cons in the whole of the UK, and only a few RPG ones.

I say we leave Fell to the scrap-happy women. He went into this mission with full knowledge of what he would face. If he can't take it now, tough.

You would. However, one very important detail has not yet come to light. And that is that...YOU'RE ONE OF THEM SENT TO TRY TO DISSUADE US FROM RESCUING FELL! ADMIT IT!

Alright, *sob* I admit it. This has all been a ploy--even my relationship with EUOL. An evil plan of infiltration orchestrated by the Powers-That-Be of Scrapbooking. I was to use my feminine wiles and wit to take over TWG and turn it into a Scrapbooking Website!!!

Actually, I'm about as far from a scrapbooker as you can get. I'm lucky if I even get the pictures in an album--the kind where all you have to do is slip them into a clear pocket and write down next to it what it is a picture of. And I also seem to be inherently craft-challenged. In Young Women's, my church youth group, every once in awhile we would have a craft. One time we painted boxes for orphans in Mexico and filled them with school and sanitary supplies. I pitied the orphan who got saddled with my box--I think she would've prefered to be boxless instead. It was, how shall we say, influenced by "modern" or "abstract" art. And who knew that you could get that kind of color by mixing paint? :P
