CowboyNeal

Hey! It’s Friday, and that means we’re all struggling to figure out what to do with our weekends…
Of course, if you live in or around Los Angeles, you can hop on some of our clean, safe, effecient and reliable public transportation, and come over to the ACME Comedy Theatre tonight, and catch me doing The J. Keith vanStraaten Show. Our lead guest tonight is David Carradine, who played Cain on Kung Fu!
Farkers know that this weekend is Fark Fest LA, and there are hellacrazy Fark opportunities. Should be Super-sized fun.
Now, seeing as how my wife and kids are out of town, you’d think that I’d be out this weekend drinking and enjoying some fine entertainment…but you’d be wrong. I’ll be writing all weekend, and playing GTA 3, because I am that lame.
G4 made an announcement yesterday about our programming lineup. I’m still not allowed to say too much about my show, butI think I can safely say that we filmed two episodes yesterday, and I’m really, really happy with how they turned out. I’m really proud to be part of this show.
There is a message board that G4 has set up for all the shows (this link goes straight to Arena), and you can login and talk about my show with me and some of the people behind it…now, I heard from this magic talking donkey that the folks at my network are watching the traffic on the board to guage interest in the new shows. So if you’re interested in Arena, and you want G4 to know, log in and tell them!
Finally, I found out something pretty cool yesterday: WWDN is ranked number 20 on the all-time top ten list* at Blogdex. I just thought that was really cool. This website has really grown over the past few months, and I love it that so many people are reading it. 🙂
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Thought for today:

“The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.”
-Albert Einstein

*I realize that you can’t be number 20 on a top-ten list. Sure, I could change it, but it just illustrates my lameness in a beautiful way. 🙂

Oooooh, 0 comments, maybe I’ll actually get the first post? *crosses fingers*

Hey!
Have fun with yer show tonight- too bad I have to miss it because I LIVE IN CANADA!!!! 😮

I’ve got the hubby away- but the kids are with me-Nothing to do but Read WWDN-soapbox surf- watch my DVD’s i rented. Wish I was in LA so I could finally see you in the show- have you found out if you could tape them and sell them ove the net????? That would be really cool and we could see you do your thing!!! Entertaining us- You Talented Stud You!!!!!!

i always like your “thought for today.” ever get around to listening to that adam’s castle cd?

Dude, you’re gonna write all weekend, too? You’re my hero!

Good call on the GTA3. I know a 50+ year old dad who can’t stop playing that and Grand Turismo.
It’s almost sick, were it not so incredibly funny.

Ghost World rocks.

What does this have to do with CowboyNeal? Slashdot isn’t mentioned at all. Please let me know so I don’t feel stupid. 😉

Glad to see the comments section back up! I was getting a bit confused in the box trying to respond to the blog because some of the days were repeated.
Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy your weekend. I’m spending mine doing a combination of art homework, housework and yardwork- we never raked our lawn last fall and now we’re paying for it! Yargh! I guess I should just be happy that I *have* a yard….
Hope your brother is feeling better, Wil.

Was my post removed? How rude… Anyways.. Good luck Wil, and have fun. Do something while the family is away…you can play vid games when they get home..

Lovely thought for the day, Wil. Hope the show goes well tonite, and you might wanna check the spelling on “gauge”. I always type “becuase” (because!) wrongly, myself, unless I catch it first.

Having fun this weekend! HA! I just got back to work. ANother 14 days on my floating prison.
Anyway, congrats on all the good stuf going your way lately, even though you didn’t get those parts.

Hey, Wil – a suggestion for your bosses at arena;
Don’t make me log in. If I have to log in, I won’t post. Period. And I as I belong to that rare species known as the female gamer they don’t want me to say “stupid login. I’m gonna go read underacheivers.” They want me to stay, and post, and lure boys there too.
I’m trusting you to make a good show about gaming, not like every other show, which has been so stupid it makes me embarrassed to be part of the industry. How do I find out how to watch this magic thing?
I like the killfrenzies. They are good and hard.

Wil, just found this out. Tomorrow, on campus, they’re doing a showing of Tron on the big screen with a trance DJ to replace the crap sound effects. Thought you might find that cool. Maybe my school doesn’t suck as bad as I figured it did. Oh well, I have to work. Crap.
Good luck with the show. I’m glad things are turning out well for you. YAY!

have a great weekend, Wil and fellow WWDNers! 🙂

“WWDN is ranked number 20 on the all-time top ten list at Blogdex.”
Is it just me that finds the maths involved here a little confusing?

No partying? I see. You have a good weekend too.
Same to you Ness, and everyone else.

“WWDN is ranked number 20 on the all-time top ten list at Blogdex.”
It’s the New Math.
oops. 🙂

I can’t join the G4 message boards.

Buddha’s bouncing biscuits, has G4 totally ignored all Web usability in order to make its designers happy? Does the site open enough damn browser windows, or what? Sheesh, I thought these guys were supposed to know us gamers. I know it’s in a “getting started” phase, hopefully these bugs will be worked out of the system. I’d like to come back a lot, but only when =I’m= in control of my desktop.

Wil, my Dog Copper says to tell Ferris to have a good weekend too! That and not to remember to always avoid chicken bones…
Words to live by.
W

That should have read to avoid chicken bones…damn that dog…I told him he didn’t know how to type…and logging on as me…sheesh!
Not sleeping on the bed tonight…at least until I’m asleep…
:

My big plan for this weekend is to turn 23. I wish I could celebrate by going to the show you’re in, wil, but unfortunately I won’t be in L.A. for another two months. Definitely then!
p.s. My dogs Gooky and Katie say hi to Ferris and that gE3k’s dog Copper.

Hey, thanks for comments, Wil, now I don’t have to crap up your inbox anymore 🙂
Have a great weekend. (And are we allowed to know what you’re writing, aside from this web site (of course)?)

Albert – he was himself a christian though.

Wow…comments are back!! Maybe all my whining and
complaining did a little good..Its going to rain
all weekend in ATL..blah.
Good time to stay in bed.

Dammit, just when FarkFest LA and and an ACME show are head to head, it HAS to be the WEEK BEFORE I’m moving back to CA. Dammit all to hades.
AND, the G4 website doesn’t work for Mac users on IE. Shame, shame. And they dare call their network the same name as a Macintosh. >.

oops. I was being redundant again.
“and and”.
heh.

Excellent quote Wil – I love it 🙂

Have a great weekend, Wil!
I’ll be painting our house. Want a nice summer home in New Brunswich Canada? We’ll be listing it for sale next week.
Oh c’mon, the kids and the dog will love it. There’s a river in the backyard… 😉
No? Well, I tried. BTW, I have linked to you.

Hey Wil have a great time tonight!
Enjoy your weekend writing. That’s what I’m
gonna do with my kids. Book reports due soon for them. YUK! Hope your Brother feels better.
Enjoy the time you have to yourself!

One of these days, I’m packing up ol’ Nessie the Escort and heading out to Los Angeles and see the JKVS, and perhaps some other areas of California ;). It’s still soooo very cold in northern Wisconsin :/.

hey its not THAT Lame to play video games.. WARCRAFT 2 4EVER 😀
its an almost 7 year old game and no other RTS out there can rival it.
if u get bored.. try some diablo 2 or nethack.
peas out-

Wil, get out there and break a leg this weekend.

wil, how do we find out if our cable provider is gonna have g4tv (I’d check the g4tv.com site, but that damn shockwave intro crashes my browser everytime I try and load the page)? btw, I caught you on Outer Limits yesterday on Sci-Fi. you r0x0r.

I believe, if I’m not mistaken, that the reference to CowboyNeal alludes to the fact that WWDN is ranked 20th on Blogdex and and slashdot.org is tied for 18th (one above WWDN). If I’m right do I win a prize?

ill give u a prize if u can tell me who the 2 hottest chicks to ever be on a star trek series are.
hint: wil got to hang out with one of them

Egad… my apology in advance for being a total nitpicker spud, but Carradine’s character in “Kung Fu” is spelled “Caine” and not “Kane.”
I mention this mostly because “KF” is one of my favorite all-time shows, so I have this obessive-compulsive desire to make corrections if people get things related to it wrong.
Sorry for being so anal.

kane sounds cooler.. dont dis on the boss buddy
>:-|

Oops.
Well, I’ll change Kane to Caine, if we can all agree to use the word “You” in place of “u” and the word “to” (or one of it’s hominyms) in place of the number “2.”
Oh, and I hear that Kung Fu is number 35, on the top ten best television shows EVER!
