Sorry...not even the suit can save you. Good commercial though. I am waiting for the one with pictures now.

Sorry, only have the one of me and that would be too silly (why would I show Ralph my walking medal?) Besides, there isn't one of you around, so how'd I picture HD? As a shadow or the little green guy?

Guess you aren't up to the challenge are you? Oh well...maybe I can tweak my surprise and give it to someone else.

Not that I'm not up to the challenge, HD, it's that I will have to look for the pics as well (save the one of me in the jammies), which'll take some time. It took about an hour and a half looking for the ones for that first commercial, and that's knowing which pics I wanted. But, I'd be happy to figure it out for you later on.

[ ] Bill: She must think HD has all day to wait around or something. Ralph: He IS on a lot lately. Pam: That is because he cares for his fellow posters.

You know, this impromptu one was a bit of fun. If someone (else) wants to challenge me to do one, shout out a suggestion and I'll write it out. Only rule is the idea has to be one that follows the KICK philosophy. To be fair warning too, I'll probably write most of them as radio ones.

You are such a punk.

You are such a punk. Is that a request? In reality, I only ask the KICK rule because most of the time I can't write more risque ones. The one that I posted in the screencaps (in quoted material but was modded slightly) when you and I were bantering around was one I did subconsciously. Then again, that may be why it matched the final punchline so well.

No, it's not a request, but the KICK philosophy is for kindergarten...besides, the board will cut out some words and replace them anyway so it will edit for you...if not MyTatuo is here.

Stands for Keep it Clean Kid (though kids do need to learn not to kick their teachers in the tookus). Helps me to remember it, like learning left and right in English and Spanish. You make an proper "L" with your left hand, which is left in English. For Spanish, derecha is right, and you make a proper "D" with your right hand. Also, trying to be silly with the "Is that a request" line. Don't think I could do one to "You are such a punk." Where'd I get the pics? They never faced punks, just a gang of motorcylists.

But it's true, and saved my hide once giving directions to someone in Spanish.

Yes, because had you messed up they were going to figure out a way to track you down and kill you since they were ALREADY lost.

I can give directions, but following them sometimes is the problem. Nine times out of 10 I find the right place. Besides, I know wehre I'm going long distances because I remember a certain store, building or metal elephant alongside the roads. And, in some cases, have memorized the order the cities go in. Anyway, enough of this drivel, I'll either post another commercial or ad here sometime soon.

New commercial idea given some of the humor on the boards today, fairly brief and same style as the other ones I've written, so I don't have to repeat the notes : [glow=red,2,300] Wednesday[/glow] (Person on computer visiting site. Ralph and Bill in another room, yell heard, both enter to empty room). Bill: Whoa, what was that? Ralph: Don't know. Someone was here at this computer using the boards and just disappeared. [glow=red,2,300] Strange invisible users on messageboards are causing people to disappear.[/glow] Carlisle: Maxwell, I want you to use those boards and figure out what's going on. Bill: Uh sir, what happens if I disappear? Won't be able to help you and the FBI. Carlisle: Well, that's a chance we're going to have to take in order to solve this case. (Changes to computer lab. Ralph/Bill in front of a computer) Ralph: Bill, I don't know if the suit will protect me. Bill: Kid, we have no choice, log on and let's find out. (Ralph logs on, suddenly disappears.) Pam: Ralph! Bill: Kid! (Ralph traveling in odd vortex and other side. Looks like Los Angeles) Ralph: That was odd, still looks like home. Strange voice: Things are not all they seem, Ralph. Stay here too long you'll be part of the boards forever. [glow=red,2,300] Can Ralph find the other missing people and bring them back before it's too late?[/glow] Ralph: Come on let's get back to our own Los Angeles. [glow=red,2,300] Or will the boards trap them in this fake metropolis forever? Find out on "The Greatest American Hero."[/glow] *Different voiceover Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern on ABC*

Hmmm.... I'm starting to wonder if this commercial has some true ring to it today. It's been very quiet today. Oh well, I'll soon start getting my story up on the fanfiction site.

I had to work a split shift and get my car in, but you know that I would be here otherwise.

Still, pretty funny I write that spoof commercial about invisible users, and there are very few if any posts on the board today. But, to be fair, I'll be uploading my story tonight. Billswoman's read a lot of it and said it needed some spelling changes (irony with my job), so I'll make those and get ready to upload it. It'll be under the penname TigreMalabarista.

Cool...congrats on your first fanfic publication. I doubt I will review it, but I might go see my dedication and the scene you altered.

Cool...congrats on your first fanfic publication. I doubt I will review it, but I might go see my dedication and the scene you altered. Well, I'm divying up the chapters right now, and, as I'm not too sure how this works, I'm praying I don't end up in zapf dingbats or some other weird font. If all else fails, I'll get billswoman to help. Oh, good grief, forgot to add the dedication. I'll do that shortly before it gets to the main page. (no chastising please, remember, I can turn anecdotal on you if you do.)
