50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

ForCor

I just found out that Foreign Correspondents is available at Amazon.com!
I’ll put it up on the right in a week or two, but I’m pretty excited about it being available at the evil amazon, and I wanted to share that with everyone. 🙂
Bloggie results have not yet been revealed to me…so I don’t know if we should be getting tanked to celebrate, or to drown our sorrows… 😉

    Wil may be getting old but he still looks like he’s 17. Wish I was that lucky 🙂

    Ok Im scared. You know that earthquake site that Wil posted. Simi Valley dominates that list with the most earthquakes. I HATE THEM AND GUESS WHERE I LIVE!! Of course I only live there 4 months of the year now since I attend school in Arizona. Simi Valley is a big earthquake waiting to happen. *Sighs* Hey I guess Simi makes up for the earthquakes in the fact that it’s the safest city in the nation and Insurrection was taped in the hills in Simi and that show with Data and Lore and the Borg was taped in the Hills too. Got to love a film town.

    “I don’t know if we should be getting tanked to celebrate, or to drown our sorrows… ;-)”
    Either way, I’m more than willing to pop open my vodka for a second night in a row. 🙂

    29 January, 2002 at 3:04 pm

    Celebrate, drown sorrows, what’s it really matter? The important thing is getting tanked!

  15. Lobos34 says:
    29 January, 2002 at 3:16 pm

    Darn have to wait until tomorrow at 10.00 pm.
    anyway back to the tanking.

  16. KarinAoi says:
    29 January, 2002 at 3:36 pm

    We can always just get tanked for the hell of it!
    Heh.

  18. Lenny says:
    29 January, 2002 at 3:48 pm

    hey, maybe I’m out of the loop or something, but why exactly is amazon.com evil? Just curious. 🙂
    (hope you win, btw)

  21. Shaynie says:
    29 January, 2002 at 6:06 pm

    Yeah I agree with that…getting drunk with posting..uh..riiiggghht. Again No comment
    I kept having visions of Stand By Me during my exams… and I have no freaking idea why..well maybe a bit..but still.

    Amazon has had “issues” with how they “protect” the private information of their clients.
    Better options…
    DVDs:
    http://deepdiscountdvd.com/
    Books:
    http://powells.com/
    Music:
    http://www.bearshare.com/
    That’s right, RIAA… Suck my dick.

    Plus, having worked in tech in Seattle, I know a few people who have done time at Amazon.
    They treat their “employees” like shit. Keeping pace with Microsoft and Nike for “defining the 21st century workplace.”
    Gulag.

    Borders.com (where I work 😛 Well, I work @ Borders) has teamed up with Amazon.com for their website. Borders has learned well from Amazon.. or is it the other way around. It’s funny when your supervisor says to you, “hey, at least you’re in a better mood today.” My response? “I’m only in a bad mood when management f*cks me over!”
    BTW, my computer decided to play nice & let me vote for the Bloggies or whatever they’re called (is it sacreligious to not know the name (did I spell sacreligious right?)) OK… anyway, so I voted for you, Wil. In every category. For the rest of them I just clicked on whoever had the neatest name. *shrug* Anyway, good luck! I hope you won!

    Yesterday on my radio show I brought up Amazon (just to say “buy this CD from the label and support this dead artist’s widow and daughter instead”) … and just for fun, I called it evil; a minute later, this guy calls and was like “What did you just say about Amazon.com?” I thought he was actually going to yell at me for calling Amazon evil, but alas, he had “just turned on the radio” and really didn’t know what I was talking about. Scared me for a minute, though.
    Oh yeah, I also voted for Wil’s site in all the appropriate Bloggie categories, and whatever looked coolest in the others. Somebody in a usenet group was mad because Wil got nominated against all his friends. *snicker*

  26. kendoka says:

    I’m still trying to figure out how Amazon.com is a better deal with having to pay shipping and all, than just going down the street to the bookstore and buying the book there.

    30 January, 2002 at 12:53 am

    Well, I got an email a couple of days ago that Greymatter dropped out of the running so, it gave us a chance to re-vote the catergories that Greymatter was in. So, perhaps that is why you haven’t yet heard. They are waiting for the new votes.

  28. klaurel says:

    >>>Voting is now closed. The winners will be announced on irc.turlyming.net in channel #BlogIRC Wednesday at 10:00 PM EST (GMT-5), and then posted to this page.

    Either way, *raises mug*
    “Here’s to WWDN!
    Fooooooorrrr, he’sa jolly good fellow,
    For he’s a jolly good fellow,
    For he’s a jolly good feeeeeelllooooooooow,
    Which nobody can deny!”
    *hic*

    Ya gotta figure that Wil’s gonna win one of the categories he was entered in…

    i just wanted to use the word “tanked”.
    “tanked”.
    neeto! now i fit in!

  32. ymous_annon says:
    30 January, 2002 at 2:46 am

    I wonder why Wil isn’t on the cover of forcor?
    You deserve to be on the cover. I also want to punch one of the reviewers of the movie. Can anyone guess which one? I would buy the movie except I would have to pay about twice as much for the movie since the Canadian dollar is absolutely worth crap. Perhaps when the government can get their act together? Not gonna happen.

    I voted for WWDN! Tough choice between you and Loobylu (for merchandise), but in the end WFS won out.
    The funny thing about Amazon is that when they were smaller (ie. just books) they used to get their books from the likes of Powell’s and other small bookstores (especially for out of print/hard to find). I’ve been to Powell’s — you really could get lost in there. There’s a reason the sections are color coded.
    I think a couple of commenters here were tanked when they posted. 🙂

  34. Lara says:
    30 January, 2002 at 3:17 am

    I’m such a loser! I’ve had ForCor on DVD for weeks and haven’t had time to sit down and watch it. I’m gonna try this weekend (except during the Super Bowl! Go Pats!)

  35. Aura says:
    30 January, 2002 at 3:29 am

    I seriously need to see ForCor.. I’d buy it but I’m broke because I bought the Wil’s Posse shirt (I can’t wait ’til it comes!!). It looks really good, though. Well, I’m watching the TNN Star Trek Movie Marathon during Super Bowl weekend, though I’ll probably watch the Super Bowl itself because my dad will steal the big TV for the game. He’s obsessed with the Pats. I want ’em to win, too, but I’m in the minority, aren’t I?

  36. Undertoad says:
    30 January, 2002 at 3:35 am

    Hey, that “Foreign Correspondents” also has that Corin Nemec in it. Mr. Nemec was excellent in that “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”, which was the better version of “Ferris Bueller” for TV. That show was innovative as hell, broke down the fourth wall before it was cool. Unfortunately nobody saw it because it was a Fox show in the early days of the network, and was put up against “Sixty Minutes”.

    Hey Wil, I never got a chance to point you in the direction of the best CSS editor out there – Topstyle. Their website at http://www.bradsoft.com/topstyle/ has info on css, and the editor is simply amazing – nothing else that I’ve seen even comes close.
    Re: Corin Nemec… Scientologist apparently, but you’re right, “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose” was a great show. I can’t see Abraham Benrubi without thinking about Kubiac…

    And if you’re not able to buy your own copy, you could always call your local indy video rental place and ask them to buy a copy.

    *Passes Uncle Wil the mezcal tequilla with the worm in the bottle and grins*
    Drink up dude. You never should need a logical and justified reason to drink. 🙂

  40. adeversole says:
    30 January, 2002 at 4:41 am

    Now Wil, you know what they say,”It’s an honor just being nominated”. LOL! Now you know what they mean. I hope you win. You got a lot of stuff at ebay at Amazon.com.

  41. adeversole says:
    30 January, 2002 at 5:01 am

    It’s an honor just being nominated, but I hope you win anyway.

    Loobylu did an alternate cover on a comic project that the Australian Government were doing (that I also did a cover for). Was rather interesting to see her there! ^_^ Small world! And dude, I got toasted the night before cause your American Sailors were in town and they kept buying me vodka. Oh. My. Poor. Body. No! Not for THAT reason you sickos! I don’t get headaches when I have hangovers – my body just feels like it’s being pulled into a black hole, strung out so thin it’s just one particle wide. *nods*. I’ll drink to you anyway Wil, cause you rock! Here’s to Wil, and here’s to my failing liver!

  45. Mandy2 says:
    30 January, 2002 at 7:05 am

    alright. everyone gonna be here at 10 tonight so we can all find out… together? and then we can beat up everyone who didn’t vote if Wil doesn’t win.
    excellant.

  46. Kym says:

    For as much as you blog, why can’t you answer emails? Slack ass 😛

  47. Crinkle says:
    30 January, 2002 at 7:49 am

    How come no one ever posts about how cute Wil is? And how all us girls know that when we were 16, we had monstrous crushes on him? All my friends waved “Teen Beat” magazine all over the place when Wil was in it.
    Of course, now we’re adults. We don’t wave “Teen Beat” magazine. We wave issues of “Star Trek: The Magazine”.

  48. Courtney says:
    30 January, 2002 at 8:17 am

    Crinkle, let’s just say we grew up.
    And now to quote a wise man:
    “Let’s git pissed!”

    Amazon. Evil.
    No wait, I rely on them suckers for a living!
    Amazon Gooooooood (ok, bn.com better but only cause they sell more’a my crap…)
    Wil, dude, do you get some kinda kickback if people click on your Amazon links and buy chit? Cause seriously, I clicked and bought and then wondered, but that’s what happens after staring at the Photoshop pix on Fark for 4 hours… To which I am now addicted, and it’s all your fault. Seriously.

  50. eddy says:
    30 January, 2002 at 8:59 am

    Woah, 4 hours of flickery pictures. That must burn! Seriously, though – tanked is the way to go! This site’s gotta win something! Let’s start the party now!
    La la la la laa la! La la la la laa la!
    (OK maybe i had too much drink already…)
