HSWN --> PEOPLE --> Say Whatever

Tom said: OK

Neal said: Badass updates man. I like the simplicity

A.J. said: I do believe that my mind has been blown.

pat said: i have a face.

Tom said: this isn't really done, but I just wanted to make sure I actually made some changes instead of working on it and never uploading it.

Tom said: False starts have become a way of life for me. I hate it.

Alex H. said: Wait...you only have a few of your things on the site. I----ume you're going to upload the rest? As for the false starts, I've been there.

Tyler said: whatever?

Alex H. said: Swear word filter. I don't get why it filters "a$$ume" and not "badass".

Optimus Prime said: When I try to write a story its all one big false start. I have so many outlines in my head & maybe a couple on my computer that never go anywhere. Also, nice change of pace here. Your site/digital-sketchbook has allways pretty much stuck to the basics. That's cool. My mom got me semi-sweet baking chocolate when I needed unsweetened. Oh well it'll probably still work just fine.

Optimus Prime said: Happy easter!

A.J. said: I have allergies. All the chocolate bunnies, marshmellow Peeps, and jelly beans in the world can do nothing to----uage them.

Optimus Prime said: Awww poor A.J. I'll punch pollen in the face for you

A.J. said: It's okay. They're being kept at bay.

Alex H. said: Hey. Has anyone heard of "Mixed Messages"? It's like the Sentance Game for Nintendo DS.

Optimus Prime said: No I have not. That sounds cool. & also, woah Alex you play the sentence game? whats your name on that?

Alex H. said: No, I don't. I wish I did though. Sometime I might set up an account. If so, it would probably be ALXXMaXX.

Yeluw said: A long long time ago there was some "30 second song" thingo that you made. Is that still around?

Optimus Prime said: I forgot about that but now I remember about that. I couldn't find it on the index. Perhaps Tom lost the file somehow? You know how it is with old drives & thinking you have something backed up somewhere. So yeah Alex (or anyone else for that matter) if you start playing The Sentence Game, my name on there is SneakyRobot.

Alex H. said: My favorite TSG sentance is "1...2...3! 3 arms growing out of everybody's chin! Ah ah ah ah!"

Optimus Prime said: & the picture that went with it was pretty great too.

Spud said: You guys are wierd

Optimus Prime said: So? Weird is better than boring. Join the weird, become the weird!

Chris said: this rock really rocks.

Optimus Prime said: *Badum pish!*

влɥ xǝlɐ said: *воɥsйеd ɯnpɐq*

Alex H. said: That really didn't turn out right. (I was trying to type upside-down.)

Optimus Prime said: Ha ha ha thats great! I suppose I wouldn't have been able to make anything out of that had you not explained, but now I can totally see it.

A.J. said: The Count by Wizo is the song from that 30 second animation. Took me years to get the name.

Alex H. Randomized said:I eat treat.

Tom said: I'm hoping to make t-shirts soon. Hand silk screened. What's a reasonable price for a T-shirt these days?

Optimus Prime said:

Optimus Prime said: Oops that nothing at all post was entirely unintentional. Anyway I got no idea about T-shirts. I'm guessing you find out how much it'll cost YOU first then decide from there how much profit you think you can get away with on top of that.

Alex H. said: I have made up a word: Tomquats. You can guess what they are.

Optimus Prime said: Sounds like a tropical fruit.

Alex H. said: A kid at my school says that he and his dad are going to team up to ask the president to conquer Mexico on December 21, 2012, to make the Mayan prophecy come true. All the while he was laughing hysterically. I'm worried...

Alex H. Randomized said:Bangkok is kick!

Alex H. said: HA! I knew that the Random sentance would have something to do with Bangkok and Kick!

Tom said: Kid Show can now be viewed in bigger, fancier quality.. thanks to vimeo.com. Check it out.

Optimus Prime said: Woah man, even after you said it I was still suprised at the big fancy quality. Most internet animators never even approach that resolution & even live action videos are usually pixelated or jumpy when streaming. Good job Tom & good job vimeo.

Alex H. said: One of my favorite Kid Show lines is in the credits. "Jesus was there! Pkhkhkhkhkowwww!!!"

iknowthatguy said: wow... i've not been on this site forever. such memories *wipe tear*

iknowthatguy Randomized said:I used to kick!

Alex H. said: Hi! Idon'tknowthatguy! Anyway, today at school, some kid was trying to convince me that the Titanic never sank and that kangaroos didn't have legs. I said to him, "Oh! And I suppose you think that macadamia nuts come from their pouches, too?" He said yes. Weird kid...0_0

Michael said: Howwwwdy Dowdy Doo!

Optimus Prime said: Borrrrdy Quowty Quoo!

Tom said: beetle darts.

Alex H. said: Deetle Barts.

Alex H. said: One fine day in the middle of the night, Two dead boys got up to fight. One named Jimmy and one named Clive They took out their pistols and shot themselves alive.

nuts said: tom kicks balls

Optimus Prime said: No man look at this: http://www.tomthinks.com/video/fightscene.html It's the other guy who fights dirty, pullin that nasty sucker punch like that... but Tom did not stoop to such shenanigans & would probably only kick balls as a last resort.

Alex H. said: Nice intelligent comeback to a non-intellegent comment, OP! :D

Alex H. said: Get this: On my YouTube channel, I just got subscibed to by a person who believes in all honesty that he has the soul of a fox. He has also sent me a friend request.

Optimus Prime said: I believe that there are people out there crazy enough to have such beliefs. Mostly hippies who adopt new age native american hybrid philosophies. However, many people on Youtube are incredibly convincing but turn out to be actors, like lonelygirl or daxflame. Either way, thats pretty funny.

Alex H. said: Well, I saw a few videos of his when he was in downtown Indianapolis and he was wearing this fox suit with an insanely realistic mask and saying, like, "Hi!" to people, and the people wonder if they're on earth. I thought that was kind of cool and surreal. (I love surrealism, surrealists and just general surrealness.) My friend says take the request because it means you're getting popular.

Alex H. said: I had a dream that I went to W3i headquarters (in case you do not know about W3i, they're a "company" online whose software is filled with viruses and spyware. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING FROM THEM.) and they SEEMED legit, and for the opening of a "childrens' area" there, they had penguin puppets sing a song (I forget what it was), but when I started inspecting the area once everyone went home, this rat (yes, an actual rat) told me that W3i was based on a cult whose symbol was the Internet Explorer logo. Weird dream. Now that I've told you this, you now know to absolutely NOT trust W3i.

Optimus Prime said: Thanks for the heads up, man.

Alex H. said: You're welcome. Some other things to watch out for: freeze.com ringtone.com screensaver.com bullseyesgames.com (NOT bullseyegames.com) Anything involving Hayden Creque (the owner of all of these websites as well as W3i)

Alex H. said: Creque also either has an accomplice or an alias: "Robert Weber".

iknowthatguy Randomized said:You are cyclone.

iknowthatguy said: haha, has anyone ever heard of suprememastertv.com? someone put a flyer on my windshield about the end of the world according to supreme master Chai Tea or something like that... the website is rather humorous.

Optimus Prime said: Ha ha ha ha thats the hippie channel!

Nick B. said: Tom, you're my hero.

.oreh said: ym er'uoy moT .B kciN

erichead said: hey tom, i visit your website maybe once a year- i posted a comic/comment on your website loooooong time ago. my friends and i loved maynard so much, it was a big inspiration to my art. YOUAREAWESOMEHAAAAAAAYES!!!1!1!1!!@!!#OI

Optimus Prime Randomized said:You are tomato.

Alex H. said: There's old gray with her dove wing hat.

Alex H. said: There's old Green with her sewing machine

Alex H. said: Where's the bobbin at?

Alex H. said: Tom Deslongchamp is fast and bulbous.

Optimus Prime said: I wanna build a time machine, however I haven't collected enough children's souls.

Alex H. said: And how, may I ask, would childrens' souls power a time machine?

Optimus Prime said: http://www.watermanstudios.com/watermanseries/pitp_play.php?episodeNumber=10 This is it. It is this.

Alex H. said: I see. I see that I see.

Jack said: hi.

Alex H. said: Hi! Hi! Hiii! Hi! Hi iii haii! Hai ! hi! Haaai! haaai! Haaai! huuaayyy ! hii! Hi! Hai! HaiI! hAiiy1 Hayii hi...Hii! Hiii! Hii!

Optimus Prime said: Hi Jack. Have you met Jill? Wheres your beanstalk? How many candlesticks have you jumped over? Is your last name Bauer? I can't think of any more.

Alex H. said: Did you ever elope?

Jill said: I've met Jack.

Optimus Prime Randomized said:I used to giant robots.

Optimus Prime said: But with the help of the giant robots patch I've finally shook the habit.

Alex H. Randomized said:Bangkok is giant robots.

Alex H. said: Seriously. So many people giant robots there that it's a health hazard to even go there.

Alex H. said: You know, I should probably make a public service announcement about the heath hazards of giant robotsing.

Optimus Prime said: Good idea

Alex H. said: Also, last night I had a crazy dream that will rock ya, sock ya, make ya scream. I dreamed that Matt Chapman thought about having a sex change, but then didn't. Weird, huh?

Alex H. said: Last night I had another one, another one, another one. I dreamed that I was forced to be a clown in a burning building full of tribes of random people.

Optimus Prime said: Keep something to record your dreams near your bed so as soon as you wake up you can write it down or talk into a mic or something so that all the random hilarity isn't lost. I used to do that but quit & I have a lot of funny ones in my computer.

Alex H. said: Yeah, I really should do that. But anyways, let me offer an "Original Say Whatever"-style quote:

Alex H. said: Deodorant Cake: Not as delicious as it sounds.

Michael Edward Langan said: Hey, we're out of ketchup. I'm gonna run to the store and grab some Wormswith.

Optimus Prime said: Can you get me some orange fanta while you're out?

Mish said: this is cool beans. this site makes me extremely happy to be alive and I am serious!

Optimus Prime said: Yeah seriously, Mish! Also, if you do not see your post, simply hit F5 & it will be there, rather than hitting submit twice. (something everybody has done, sometimes even a gajillion times instead of just twice) I'm still waiting on that orange Fanta, Michael Edward Langan.

Alex H. said: Mish, are you related to Myshouno? Or however you spell that?

Tom said: I went to RISD with Michael. Check out some of his short films/commercials

Tom said: "Tom Deslongchamp is fast and bulbous." hahaha, good one.

Tom said: 30 second song thing: Green Thing

Tom said: I'm thinking about making a "classic" section of my site, where you can see unfinished projects, behind-the-scenes stuff, and old animations.

Alex H. said: You know about thems guys? I just found out about Trout Mask Replica some time ago when I was checking out an Amazon list of outsider music. I like outsider music. Anyway, since you're not making any more Maynard videos, can I make one?

saiex said: optimus prime, have you been here for like 7 years or what?

Optimus Prime said: I dunno, probably. I think this is possibly the only group of people on the internet that doesn't make for itself tons of needless drama.

Alex H. said: And let's keep it that way!

Alex H. said: Can you imagine someone saying this: "OMG I'M QUITTING SAY WHATEVER BECAUSE NOBODY RESPONDED TO MY QUOTE!!!!!" or "GO TO HECK ALL YOU DESLONGTARDS" x9541287854258

Alex H. said: OP, I also know Homfrog. Not personally, but he's one of my best online friends.

Optimus Prime said: Cool man

Alex H. said: What's the difference between a duck?

Optimus said: 5

Optimus Prime said: forgot my last name

Alex H. said: Good answer, but wrong. The answer is: None, it has two legs of the same length. Especially the left one.

Optimus Prime Randomized said:I used to treat.

Alex H. said: So you did.

jack said: i only come here ever 5 years.

Optimus Prime said: If you came here more often, you could say whaveter a lot.

Le SQUIZ said: TOM! YOU HAVE SINGLE-HANDEDLY REVIVED MY SENSE OF PURPOSE IN SHOWING OFF MY IMPASSIONED DOODLES. thank yewww :')

Alex H. said: Wow. I just dug up a paper bag puppet I must have made years ago of the guy from "But I like it". I messed up though. I made his SHIRT green and his PANTS brown, instead of the other way around.pu

Alex H. said: That last "pu" was my camera falling on the keyboard. I'm not accusing anyone of farting.

Alex H. said: Also, I found these words scrawled on a piece of paper in my extremely frightening handwriting: "Search your feeling everyone, you know it to be true. Have you found the muffin man? Has the muffin man found you?"

Alex H. said: Also, a crudely drawn cartoon about a dog who sewed a pouch on her stomach because she was jealous of a kangaroo. BOY was I a weird little kid...

Alex H. said: Amongst these oddities were a paper with a girl zeeky bomb that the original zeeky bomb said "hubba hubba" to, my epicly failed attempt at drawing a realistic face (it's either a girl in my class or my mom!!), an EXTREMELY CRUDELY scribbled face drawn in profile sticking out its tongue, and Weebl with googly eyes and a goutee who ALSO had his tongue sticking out, labled "dumb egg guy", as well as another sheet of paper that seemed to come out of a Steno notebook that says, "Weasel, frog, beetle, garter snake". Do you think these say anything about my childhood? Also, was the muffin man quote from here or the forums?

said: yo

Alex H. said: Hello said!

Tom said: tomdeslongchamp.com has my drawings now.

Tom said: mop.

Optimus Prime said: The guy on "Again" looks like a giant who is about to eat those trees.

Tom said: Your guess is as good as mine.

Alex H. said: The guy who has the American Flag on his head remends me of how I draw my hair. Also, Ragg Mopp.

Boom - Chaka - Lhaka said: I love you. Tom.

Optimus Prime said: Boom - Chaka - Lhaka loves Tom in triplacate.

Tom said: I should make a new version of say whatever that has feedback easily seen. With firefox, sometimes this window doesn't reload when you post... frustrating.

Alex H. said: Yeah, that sometimes happens.

Optimus Prime said: I got cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

Alex H. said: Optimus, your picture of Benjamin Button's Cousin Bob's life never ceases to make me ROFL waffles, a feat which is physically impossible for most human beings.

Optimus Prime said: Ha ha I forgot about that one. Most people seem to think the schoolbus & creepy smiling sun drawing is my best. (It probably isn't) You should start sentence gaming (Unless perhaps you already have & I just don't know about it)

Alex H. said: If all the snowflakes were wrecking balls and red bricks, oh what a life it wuould be. Standing outside with my car in the street: "Ow bang bang ow bang bang ow bang bang ow." If all the snowflakes were wrecking balls and red bricks, people would go to the hospital a lot and get car repairs.

Optimus Prime said: Except nearer to the equater where we'd laugh all the harder at the silly northerners.

Alex H. said: I just got a Sentence Game account! I'm ALXXMaXX, and I just finished this sentence! http://www.thesentencegame.com/view.php?gview=8921

Optimus Prime said: Pah ha! Thats awesome!

Tom said: Do you guys like the new front page animation? Also, I put some new drawings up on tomdeslongchamp.com

Optimus Prime said: Yeah the animations cool. The monkeys kinda creepy. It looks like those angels are kung fu fighting.

A.J. said: School starts for me soon. I'm a senior this year. What a long, strange trip it's been.

Tom said: congrats A.J. I wasn't a big fan of highschool, but college was totally fun.

A.J. said: I hear you Tom. I'm actually hoping to work my way up to Providence and study at your Alma Mater.

Tom said: Applying is really fun, although it costs $50 as well. They ask you to do 3 drawings, in addition to your portfolio of work. Let me know when you're working on it and I'll answer any questions.

A.J. said: Okay, thanks man.

Matt said: Wow say whatever is back finally... I remember I used to come on here when I was like 8 or 9 and spam it to death... Good ole days. Is Maynard still on here?

Optimus Prime said: Say whatever has never left, the link was just kinda hard to find. I allways just typed the URL right into the browser. Maynard cartoons can be found here http://www.tomthinks.com/theindex.php if your post does not show up just hit F5. Welcome back Matt.

fackjoley said: Holy buckets! I didn't think say whatever was around anymore! I'm thrilled that it's back!

said: Oh my dear lord i can't believe this is back

:J+ said: Oh my dear lord i can't believe this is back

jussar said: Oh my dear lord i can't believe this is back

Optimus Prime said: wow the excitement in your text is palpable... whatever that means. Can one "palp" excitement?

Alex H. said: This sentance is a palindrome em ord nila pa sie cnat ness iht.

Elisabeth COnstantine said:

A Whit said: Geez, I remember coming here in like middle school at the Seattle Satellite URL. It's come so far, what memories... :'(

Alex H. said: I just had another dream. Some people at Dreamworks wanted to make a movie about the William Steg book Shrek, while some other people wanted to mae a movie about Myst (that old computer game, remember?) So they combined both the ideas and made some kind of Shrek-Myst movie. Also, a few days ago, I had a dream that Steve from Blue's Clues answered a Strong Bad Email. Steve even did his little "mail time" dance before he went to the computer.

Optimus Prime said: I had a dream that Huckleberry Finn was lecturing Tom Sawyer on the merits of hustling people.

Alex H. said: SILENCE COMBO BREAKER!

Tom said: working on a music video, it's going really well. Should be done in 2-3 weeks.

Optimus Prime said: Two minus three weeks? So... you should be done a week ago? Awesome! Time travel rocks!

Tom said: Good one!

Tom said: testing testing 1 2 3.

Tom said: Sweet, everythings working. I just moved tomthinks.com to a new host, because the old one was flaking out.

Optimus Prime said: Curse you the old one! So many webhosts, so few good ones. Good thing everything still rocks & I didn't even notice any down time.

Tom said: It's surprising how easy it is to take awkward photos. Especially for special events such as family reunions or senior photos. There's a pressure to instill reverence for the subject.

Tom said: RAAAAANDUM

Tom said: I have to animate 12 seconds of footage a day for the next 6 days. That is my goal. That is my obligation.

Optimus Prime said: Though it doesn't sound like much I know how long & tedious it can be to animate. I don't think I could do twelve seconds a day.

Optimus Prime said: Well, actually I guess it all depends on how much detail is put into it. Maybe if it was just a single simple figure walking around & stuff with no background I could do it.

Rob From Ireland said: oooo this is new. I haven't been here in a while. Only takes a little reminder to return. Speaking of which, what happened to doble? How I miss it so. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Alex H. said: I animated a guy saying "Well howdy doo" on Flipnote Hatena.

Alex H. said: I think it turned out pretty well.

Tom said: Hey Rob, it's right here.. < a href="http://www.tomthinks.com/video/doble.html" TARGET="blank">http://www.tomthinks.com/video/doble.html

Tom said: Alex--do you have it posted online?

Alex H. said: I'll try to find it.

Alex H. said: Here it is. http://flipnote.hatena.com/50CA79C0A0991DF1@DSi/movie/991DF1_0823FC6BC5D70_001?in=user I made it on a Nintendo DSi.

Tom said: Nice job.

Tom said: new animation! http://www.tomthinks.com/youCriedMe.html

Alex H. said: "Nice Job"? THE Tom DesLongchamp told me I did a nice job!??? If Tom says it's a nice job, it's got to be a nice job. Thanks man. :D

Optimus Prime said: you cried me is cool. Nice of the cat to act in favor of those who killed it. Most ghosts are spitefull & woulda joined the evil things. Also, my brother is in the hospital & is going to have one of his organs stolen tomarrow.

Optimus Prime said: Now my brother is short one gall bladder.

Alex H. said: Well, I wish him the best gall bladder-less life he could possibly have.

Tom said: Wow, I hope he feels better soon.

Optimus Prime said: Yeah me too. Many centuries ago (exagguration) he posted on Say Whatever under the screen name "Whodat?" & now he eats pudding & smoothies broth.

Alex H. said: Wait...Whodat?'s your brother???

Tom said: I remember whodat.

Optimus Prime said: Yes. Also, I meant to include an & in between those last two items on that list.

Alex H, said: SILENCE COMBO BREAKER

Alex H. said: That was me with a comma instead of a period.

Lyndsay said: Thanks for coming to teach us flash!

Tom said: You're welcome!

A.J. said: Revelation of revelations! Whodat? and Optimus related and Tom's sudden Spike Jonze interview. I feel like the world is moving at an accelerated rate.

Optimus Prime said: My brother's recovery is going smoothly & he's back in class. I am almost positive that I want to be a film major. Also, I hope to become an honor student so that I can travel to a distant land, but I'm not sure if I'll ever be mathematic enough to succeed in that goal.

Alex H. said: I myself am in (le gasp!!) 8th grade. Once I get to college, I want to be a music major, probably. I've had the flu for a few days and that's why I'm writing this on a Wii.

Optimus Prime said: Happy thanksgiving! I'm thankfull for pie.

Chad Edge said: I'm not terribly excited about being at work today.

Alex H. said: I was just talking to this chatbot and I said that I had a face. It replied, "I have 3".

Optimus Prime said: Say Whatever is like a chat box, except that there's real people in it. That is, unless Tom is more of a mastermind than I ever imagined. Are you all A.I.?

Alex H. said: I'm sorry, I didn't understand the question. Do you want to know your weather reports for the next ten days?

Optimus Prime said: For the next 9,042 days!

Alex H. said: Your weather will be 42% sunny, 32% cloudy, 21% rain and 5% snow. Fun Fact: 82% of statistics are made up on the spot!

Optimus Prime said: Heh, true. Meteorologists seem to be wrong so often I think they're just guessing. Same as anyone can do.

Tom said: Hey Alex, what chatbot was it? Hey Chad!

Optimus Prime said: When I woke up it was raining. Now at 1:11 AM it is still raining. & were not even having a hurricane.

Alex H. said: I think it was Jabbberwacky.

Jesse said: I love you :]

Tom said: I love Say Whatever as well.

A.J. said: Christmas special are the things that keep me believing in holiday spirit.

Tom said: Except for the Star Wars Christmas Special. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXcb7VPw59s

Optimus Prime said: That was one of the greatest things ever! It would be awesome to go Christmas caroling & sing the life day song.

Tom said: Merry Crustmush.

tom Randomized said:I eat desolate clock.

Tom said: I added a verb wildcard to the random statement generator.

tom Randomized said:All is shredded kick!

tom Randomized said:You are unfortunate treat.

Tom said: sounds like engrish.

Tom said: I should spend my whole life building a huge library of random elements, so it would eventually have so many possibilities, you'd never see the same thing twice.

Optimus Prime said: A worthy life goal.

Optimus Prime Randomized said:All is fat DIGITAL!

Alex H. Randomized said:All is shredded cyclone...

Optimus Prime said: Say whatever is pleasing to the brain

Alex H. Randomized said:All is ugly clock.

tom Randomized said:He was unfortunate clock.

Optimus Prime Randomized said:You are shredded kick!

Alex H. said: A-tootie-tah-a-tootie-tah-a-tootie-tah-tah.

Tom said: I want to make an animation in this random fashion.. like it's different every time you watch it.

Optimus Prime said: That's odd & interesting.

Alex H. said: I think I saw something kind of like that here: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/random-fun-generator.php (Click Random Music Video).

Alex H. said: Anyway, I think it's a sweet idea, Tom.

Alex H. Randomized said:I eat shredded DIGITAL!

Alex H. said: What's that, the new Daft Punk album?

Optimus Prime Randomized said:You are ghost-like clock.

Optimus Prime said: Happy birthday to me!

Alex H. said: Happy birthday to him. Because he is awesome. One time, I drew a picture of Benjamin Button's cousin, Bob, on my math notes.

A.J. said: Happy Day to the Birth because him is Bob Button, my math notes, on the cousin of Benjamin.

said:

Junie said: You need to put the HIIIIIII animation back up! Such nostalgia...

Tom said: http://tomthinks.com/walking.html

Tom said: It's in the INDEX, year 2001 under Experimental.

Alex H. said: Oh jeez! That used to bug my mom SO MUCH whenever I played it! (Same with Anthony Likes Bananas.) I think I still have a paper "Hi Guy" mask somewhere...

demi said: fml

Optimus Prime said: What is FML? Freudian Money Laundering? Fast Mexican Larson? Freedom Marauding Lichen? Freddie Mercury Lives? Friendly Marketing Lions? Financial Mishap Liability? Forgo Mandatory Lisps? Find Miscellaneous Linebackers? Fried Marshmallow Launcher? Fresh Malted Lemons? I could probably do this forever but I guess my list of guesses is allready too long.

Tom said: Funky Mammal Load. Fred Married Laura. Favorite Male Locust.

Alex H. said: Freezing Marmalade Laundry. Flavorful Mushrooms; Large. (Coincidentally, that is what I had for dinner last night.) Freaking Marmoset Lickers!!! (I now consider that to be my new insult of choice.)

Tom said: It is January 6th, 10:31am (Pacific time) and I'm going to be in the chat/draw thing today. I will try to leave it open all day. If you read this and it's still the 6th, come in and see if I'm still there and we can draw.

Tom said: How it is January 7th, 10:01am (Pacific) and I'm still hanging around in there.

Alex H. said: If anyone goes onto C&D, check out a collaboration by Tom and me called "I found Waldo........."

Tom said: nice self portrait Jammeh (?)

Optimus Prime said: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnHuNUNV0BE Dino-Riders!

A.J. said: I think it's obvious that we still all love the Chat and Draw. However, technology has changed and there are better ways to get a hold of each other than Say Whatever. Therefore I propose we use a social networking site to set up some sort of schedule and send out invites to remind us that we're having a C&D meet.

Tom said: yeah, you're right.

A.J. said: That being said, should we use Facebook or what? How do we get this schedule ship off the ground?

Optimus Prime said: We put rockets & wings on it. I don't know how much I can participate. It seems I'm allways doing homework as of late. My facebook thing is William Webb. I'm the one who has Tom Deslongchamp for a friend. But I so rarely ever check it or do anything with it because I don't want to get involved in all those stupid games facebook people pressure each other into joining.

Tom said: I just ignore all that stuff. Casual gaming = casual exploitation.

A.J. said: Well frankly Charles, my new nickname for no one in particular, I just ignore the invites and then scold the person who sent them to me in person.

Alex H. said: This is an actual conversation between me and a kid on my bus: ME: You make less sense every day. HIM: You make MORE sense every NIPPLE!

Optimus Prime said: Check this out. http://cogsdev.110mb.com/sonichu/index.html The meat of the content of this page is near the bottom. Those crayon drawn comic covers. most of them dont link back to the root page at the end so open in new window.

Alex H. said: Good luck with him trying to merge two series into one and expecting Nintendo and Sega to say "Hey this is a super-awesome idea". Now, if he created a character that was NOT based on anybody else's characters, then maybe he would have a chance.

Brigitte said: Wow, I miss this place. Thanks for keeping tomthinks alive. Don't ever leave.

A.J. said: I see you've all stumbled onto the sad and horrifying life of Christian Weston Chandler. Don't stay there for too long, my erstwhile chums, should you be exposed to the monstrosities he's committed.

A.J. said: And I don't mean copyright infringement, I mean gross things that lay only in the land of WTF.

Alex H. said: Yeah, his life is creepy and depressing, but in my opinion the people who obsessively try to make his life a living hell for a cheap laugh are at least as depressing as he is.

Optimus Prime said: Yeah being amused by his comics is as far as I go. Trolling the mentally handicapped isn't my idea of fun.

Alex H. said: Well, he's more socially handicapped then mentally handicapped. High-functioning autism does not impair intelligence. I know this firsthand.

Alex H. said: But yeah, I agree.

Optimus Prime Randomized said:Bangkok is ghost-like clock.

Jammeh said: Hiii.

Alex H. said: Hey.

Jonathan Raymond H I said: I like snickerdoodles alot

Optimus Prime said: They are good & great.

Alex H. said: I somehow accidentally got the AV.exe virus yesterday. Today I deleted it myself. And it's insanely hard to delete.

Optimus Prime said: Viruses (virusi?) are bad. I remember that from all those times. Also, Tom. I am in a career planning class & one of my assignments is an informational interveiw. Thanks to my clever procrastional prowess I am now less than a week from the due date without having started. I need to communicate with somebody in my desired profession, which is film director, & ask them 20 specific questions. Do you perhaps know anybody I can ask? I also sent this exact message in facebook cause I don't know which one you check more often. Hope that wasn't to obnoxious of me.

Alex H. said: You could try to email one of the three guys who directed the movie I'm in. Their names are Ryan Church, Paul Curtis, and Jeff von Arx. lowhouse.ning.com Tell them Croner sent you.

Optimus Prime said: Good Idea. Though Tom said he might have somebody, I guess I should follow up as many leads as possible. Do these guys have film degrees or is this just a bunch of dudes having fun?

Optimus Prime said: I can't seem to find any email adresses on that site.

Alex H. said: They finished film school a year or two ago. You should be able to go to their profile pages and click "send a message".

Optimus Prime said: I sent a message to somebody named Ryan B Church.

Matt said: This thing has barely changed since I was 10... 8 years ago. I love it.

Alex H. said: I just discovered that the kinda-good-but-way-too-frickin'-overplayed song Fireflies by Owl City is acually about eating a grilled stuffed burrito and cheesy fiesta potatoes at Taco Bell. I think that the government should look into whatever Taco Bell is putting in their food.

Optimus Prime said: & now I am making a post too. & this is it.

Alex H. said: As I was going to the store store store I met a guy with seven knees knees knees and as he was buttering a brick brick brick he said he was Attila the Hun Hun Hun.

Optimus Prime said: You should stay away from people like that. They're crazy. Crazy people can be dangerous. Especially if they're manifesting violent personalities like Attilla the Hun.

Alex H. said: Did any of you hear the one about Weird Al Yankovic and the Tooth Fairy getting lost in Fraggle Rock with nothing but a bag of Pop-Tarts and a screwdriver?

Optimus Prime said: No. Did YOU?

Alex H. said: No, I haven't. I was hoping you knew....

Alex H. said: I am currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird for school. I'm disappointed. It's nothing like I heard online. There isn't a robot or pirate anywhere in the thing.

Optimus Prime said: Ha ha ha ha you are referencing this http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/mockingbird

Big Poppa said: I have been a fan of your stuff since i was like 15. Maynard made me pee my pants so many times.

Optimus Prime said: Alex your encryption is to advanced! I cannot decode your message! Hi Big Poppa! Welcome to say whatever. Say whatever.

Alex H. said: All the letters are shifted over one key at the keyboard.

said: "Of you crack this code, You win at life." Oh cool. I suppose I didn't win because I was told the cypher.

Optimus Prime said: That was me who said that.

Alex H. said: It's OK man. I don't win at life either.

A.J. said: Do you guys enjoy the YouTube? Well here's the profile for the video group my friends and I made. http://www.youtube.com/user/ProductionSadPanda Check it out and post your opinions.

Optimus Prime said: Woah, A.J. I'm not sure I ever had a solid picture of what you looked like in my imagination but if I did it definently wouldn't have been how you actually look http://www.youtube.com/user/ProductionSadPanda#p/u/13/89yTFFIblzc ha ha ha you talk a lot.

Alex H. said: ...but now I cycly uglone.

Optimus Prime Randomized said:You are desolate cyclone...

Alex H. said: Here come your teeth. There go your teeth. Here come your teeth. There go your teeth. Here come the ACME Denture Company's teeth.

Alex H. said: What's green and yellow? Kermit the Coward.

Alex H. said: On my computer, Google and YouTube both show up as 404's. Is their sever down or what?

Optimus Prime said: Try clearing your browser cache. Also, I did my last final today and now I am oficially on summer break. This is pleasant.

Optimus Prime said: Failing that, swear a sacred blood-oath of vengence upon 404s for all eternity, & embark on an epic quest to traverse the length & breadth of the internet destroying every last 404 or die trying.

Alex H. said: Hey Batbran. Why so cereal?

Alex H. said: I wonder what Aerosmith were thinking back in 2004. "Hey, we're a universally famous rock band with probably like a kajillion awards! What should we call our new album?" "I know! Honkin' on Bobo!"

Alex H. said: Me to a friend at school today: "Oh crap! It's our last few minutes of being 8th graders! Quick! We have to make all the 'That's what she said' jokes we can!"

Optimus Prime said: Paradoxically, jokes like that are especially funny if they make no sense whatsoever and aren't funny. Like: "I'm having macaroni and cheese for lunch." "That's what she said!"

Alex H. said: Yeah, I realized that too. If I ever get a sketch comedy show, there would be a running gag where a guy randomly pops up and says "that's what she said" at the most inappropriate times. "Notice how sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid combine to form sodium chloride and water." "That's what she said!"

Alex H. said: At the music store I take guitar lessons at I found a Yamaha PSR-175. After playing around with it a bit, I realized that some of the rhythms & beats sounded familiar. I had found Abraham's 474946975th twin brother.

A.J. said: I've been on this site since I was in like fifth grade. Graduating high school on Friday. You guys give me too much credit.

Dave said: Hey! Stop imperonating me, you impersonating person!!!

Alex H. said: Purple Sea world!!!

Alex H. said: I need to use the bathroom real bad!!!

Tom said: Guys, you need to calm down.

Bumblebee said: I'll kick Prime's ttnq!!! (Look at the nonsense word upside-down!!!!)

Shiny Flavors said: Sounds discuss further areas, while records doodle snicker tool bars.

Alex H. said: I would like to point out here that I did not say "purple sea world" or "I need to use the bathroom real bad", though I kind of like the first one.

Alex H. said: AND YOU ARE NOT TOM!

Not Tom said: No, I'm Not Tom.

Not Tom said: Everybody who claims to be Not Tom is lying. I am the one and only REAL Not Tom.

Optimus Prime said: And so everyone but you IS Tom?

Not Tom said: .....mebbeh.

Mebbeh Tom said: you rang?

Optimus Prime Randomized said:All is ghost-like clock.

I like chocolate bunnies said: Teach me how to walk on stilts? :D

Not Tom said: You might be John. Or maybe John.

Alex H. said: Did you hear the one about the kid who put a lit match on his teacher's chair? He got ten years in prison for smoking crack.

A.J. said: Bullpucky, you're all lying.

Alex H. said: I'll fess up. I'm Not Tom.

said:

Optimus Prime said: Neither am I.

Grees with tyaai said: why do people even come to this site anyway

Optimus Prime said: Why did you?

A.J. said: To keep at least one tie to my past.

Alex H. said: Because all is spaghetti clock.

Alex H. said: Sorry if I posted twice. I refreshed and I still didn't see anything.

Alex H. said: I had a dream that I witnessed a free Devo concert at a Macaroni Grill. Why was that not in real life.
