The Man Eating Cow on 14/5/2000 at 22:38
*The Man Eating Cow, seeing that her pictures aren't working, runs off to get her interpreter*
Interpreter - The Man Eating Cow would like everbody(especially Tungsten)to know her story ...
Criminals Whisper about her on dark nights;
No one knows where she came from; The swish of her tail is like the whisper of the axe; THOSE WHO ACT EVILLY MUST LIVE IN FEAR OF HER!
*The mighty Tick, joins the two and tells you more about The Man Eating Cow!*
The Tick: Heh, a while ago I swore in The Man Eating Cow as protector of The City for her outstanding work in ridding the world of unnessisary supervillians!
The Man Eating Cow: MoooooO!
Interpreter: She says 'I'm hungry'....

MML stands for Martin Mc Laughlin, which is, as you've probably guessed, is my name. Original, eh? (believe it or not, a lot of thought went into choosing my username...)

I am called Fong. I put the name "Bel" in front because of my love for the Belgariad series from David Eddings... if you have read those books, you will know what I mean.

I am right in the middle of the fourth book in the Belgariad, and I LOOOOVE it.
Just call me Polwynne.

I love wolves (I'm one of those hopefuls waiting to see if the PC game of WEREWOLF: THE APOCALYPSE will indeed be finally released), and I also love fantasy stories such as Tolkien, etc. I sort of have this mental image of my name representing a humanoid wolf creature decked out like Garrett, it seemed to have a medieval, mysterious, atmospheric feel to it I liked, so I went for it.

Wynne, Belfong - I could never understand it. These books get my award for the most boring and stereotypical fantasy I have ever read, with the Wheel of Time cycle a close second (at least Jordan makes his world somewhat interesting, if not his plots). Perhaps you could explain why you like them - so far it's been a mystery to me.

Fantasy fans don't want something interesting, not in the sense that more mainstream fans want. They want characters that are easy to identify with (note the interchangeability of the reader identificatoin heroes in most fantasy, particularly the long epics) and verbiage, to lengthen the time they can escape from reality.
:-)
That sounded pretty harsh considering that I'm a fan of Robert Jordan/Eddings, too...

Kroakie, bu-pa-mu-fa is a script used in Taiwan to teach Mandarin. It is like the alphabet in that each character represents a sound and many may be put together to make a new sound, but unlike it in that the sounds are tonal (of course) and that each "word" (equivalent to a single chinese character) is made of between 1 snd 3 bupamufa characters. There are about 30 cahracters altogetehr and any mandarin sound can be written in bupamufa. Better than pinying IMO 'cause you can't get confused.

For as long as I can remember I have always stuck up for the people in life who are being bullied or mistreated in some way. When kids at school were laughed at I always took their side out of principle as I REALLY hate to see people suffer in any way. I didn't mind being seen as a loner and it earned me a lot of respect from other kids. Many years ago someone asked me who my favourite superhero was and I replied "Batman, he has no powers, he's just a man but he always does what he believes in".
That was a long time ago now but I don't think I've changed that much....at least I hope not
