I COMPLETELY agree with you!  <sarchasm> I love how disney took into account
the fact that the Romanavs were killed by a firing squad that was
compromised of their own army</sarchasm>  I was so upset with all the
blaring inaccuracies in those movies.  I refused to see Hercules but a
friend forced me to go, and I was squirming the whole time in my seat.  This
is why I hate Disney with a firey passion that burns deep within my soul 
^-^;
Not only Disney is guilty of this too . . . in high school we watched "the
Scarlet Letter" for an extra credit assignment, and they *completely*
bastardized the novel.  (if you've ever read it)  Aggh!  (i must also ask to
be forgiven on my sudden outbreak on the commercial "bastardization of
literature")

I will too!  Of course, all I can give him is Snapple and 2 loads of dirty
laundry, but its a start!  And a small price to pay for infinate wisdom!

It was one of Richard Lawson's fanfics, but I'm not sure what the title was.

Ah, well, this was in high school . . .
Take economics in college?  Gah!  You gotta be joking!  I'm an artist!  I
don't sit through lectures, I make pretty pictures all day!  And usually the
entire class comes in 15 minutes late!  ^-^

Yay!  I agree!  But Shampoo is still the most wonderful Chinese Amazon to

Drakli!  Welcome to the Hotnit Feminization Project!  There are no real
rules for the project, all we do is "teach" hotnit how to be the cliched
female.  And if he gets out of line, feel free to "whip him back into shape"
any way you wish!  You may even make up a title or position in the project!

>Escaflowne... I watched that at the same time as Eva, and
>I think that Escaflowne is better. But that's only me...
>my other friends show off and say they liked Eva better

I actually watched the first 10 episodes of Eva before i saw Esca, and i
didnt really keep me interested . . . then I saw the first few episodes of
Escaflowne and I was completely hooked!  Haven't watched Eva since!

>As for being the best anime in the world... I won't
>comment on that, but let's just say that you have a long
>way to go... 

Well, I tend to exaggerate a little sometimes  (for comedic affect) ^-^;;

>Still it's funny and pleasing to see how
>enthusiastic you are... (no, really! I mean that)

^-^;;  I tend to get a little overzealous in my affections as well  ^-~

Jim sayz-
>Well, the ending of Escaflowne is definitely better than Eva's.
>In general I like both of them, but Eva suffered from the gloom and doom
>that really got heavy in the later episodes.

I havent seen the end of Eva, but I pretty much know what happens.  I liked
the ending of Escaflowne, because it was very satisfying, but there was
still room for the adventure to continue in the future, you know what I
mean?

Hmmm . . .I really have *NO* idea who you're talking about!  <puts another

I mean, hitting people?  <socks ping in the arm>  Why would I do that? 
<puts a cast on the arm she just socked>  And it's someone from around here?
 <puts an eyepatch over pings eye>  Gee, I feel really bad for whoever that
person may be!  <puts medicine on a bruise on ping's other arm>
