The Writer's Lounge Turns Two!

The cake is moist!

From Sparky to Foolz to Flash to Meleeman
Some of us here are sometimes lame, man
But overall it's plain to see
That we're here to write
Both you and me
And that is why this place is grand
And should celebrate its birthday across the land
And all who disagree should be hanged
But if that's too harsh then i shall attest
And suffocate them instead
With birthdaycake; the best!

It's 2:30 am. I had little time. Give me a break!

Did you just rhyme man with man? :lol:   And the cake isn't moist!   It is a lie!! :o

Happy Birthday, Writers' Lounge!   We've gotten this far, and unlike with people, one year older doesn't always mean one year less to go! :P

I like the Super Mario cake. Would be cool to have a cake like that on my plate instead of the screen.

Sigh!

I'll get up my flash animations and funny pics later, for now I'm here to deliver the results for the best of the year vote. 8)

The cake is a lie, foolz can't rhyme, and we have a few surprises still up our sleeves.

For example.

I got one for a cheap price:

"So who's the lucky guy?"

Or you could always go with that chick with the wierd dress? :D I believe Foolz has her stashed around somewhere...

Tagline: "When a girl has a heart of stone, there's only one way to melt it. Just add ice."

While I was looking for a picture of this movie, I found this review on amazon.com:

In a more perfect universe I suppose he would have left us with just a little more, but did we truly deserve it? Did we as a civilization really embrace and honor the message that Ice put forth through his work? It wouldn't be appropriate for me to answer such a question that exceeds the scope of of only one man." I don't believe that this country will ever come across such a great figure as Vanilla, not for some time anyways." This was Quoted by Mr. Nelson Mandela reflecting upon 'cool as ice's first week ticket grosses. He vanished shortly afterwards, almost as quick as he changed the world. Perhaps it was inevitable that Ice would eventually leave, but so quick? Well they say that the brightest flames always vanish the quickest. I would like to think that Ice's music secretly reveals what his goals were, there was a line in 'Ice, Ice, baby!' that went" rollin' in my V.O, drop top down so my hair can blow!" The optimist in me would like to think that that one line is a indication as to where he is now. I can almost see him if I close my eyes, hes somewhere out there in this great republic of ours, rolling around from town to town city to city in that white V.O of his, giving himself to those in need. Vanilla Ice was many things, he was a musician, an actor( judging by his work in this film, perhaps the finest ever.)but most of all he was a healer. It was his bussom that we cried into after the gulf war, he was there to comfort us, and well we took him for granted and asked for too much , we didn't realize that he was only human just like us, and so he went away. What he left us with was an album and this very movie( a testament to love, compassion, and of course a word to our mother earth.) Perhaps someday when we least expect it he will return to reclaim our undying devotion, that is if we keep our hearts pure and open. And together they will beat, Can you hear them Vanilla they are beating for you to drive that magnificent V.O back into them, but most of all they beat for you. P.S I paid a cool 107.67 for the tape and it was worth every , if not more, darn penny. and

Five out of five stars.

Better than Jesus

This masterpeice is simply better than Jesus. Jesus saves, but does he entertain like Vanilla Ice? No. He does not. I recommend this movie to anyone and everyone. It could quite possibly be the greatest peice of art ever created by civilization.

Yet another Amazon customer

Five out of five stars.

Movies this good should come packaged with a (cencored smoking object)

I used to hate this movie. My stupid friends would rent it all the time after we'd had a few bowls (um, of cereal). I would protest and lobby for a Hulk Hogan or Pamela Anderson film, but would inevitably be met with a defense along the lines of "It's Vanilla Ice. On a crotch rocket. What could be better than that?" In time, this really began to sink in.

While visiting my uncle during the summer, I'd try to describe to my other group of friends how stupid Cool As Ice was. But somehow, I couldn't conjure up words to capture the vividness of the real thing. Scenes would linger in my mind. One day I realized with shock that I'd somehow developed a Cheetos association with the movie, and whenever I had a bag (which was often) Vanilla immediately popped into my mind. With every delicious crunch I could hear his voice calling to me.

To the marvel of my friends, when I returned home I wasted no time in requesting the film for that evening's entertainment. I had changed, somehow. I'd finally seen the light. I'm not sure why it didn't click at first. Maybe it was a passive aggressive reaction to a white guy having the first number one rap album. Maybe I just hated flat tops. Either way, I missed the boat, because my friends had gotten Ice out of their system and were now in a Ren and Stimpy phase. So I bought the d**n thing. I watch it alone with a bag of Cheetos and curse my friends.

Don't be like me. Be the one to buy it and introduce it to your friends. That way, you won't miss the boat. And you'll have more than an empty bag of Cheetos to keep you company at the end of the night.

One more for good riddance

Five out of five stars.

I want to swallow that cake and keep the ornaments....:|

Happy b-day Union and good tidings to Sparky!

I'll love the beating .. i mean friendly stage ><

The woman in the background is proof of the dangerous nature of karaoke.

I  really wold have thought there would be more karoake pictures on the internet, and that 'tipsy' would find results other than movie posters fro what may or may not have been an adult film. :S

Ah well, the entertainment is here.

Shame they're not playing Electro Boy. :(

Woohoo! New Banner! :o

Oops! In the party mood, I forgot to congratulate all the winners of the TWL awards. Let's all give them a big round of applause.

Let's also give it to the officers, recruits and most importantly the leader who made the Awards possible and succesful. Another big round of applause please. ;)
