yes, you can see the wires holding my chubby ass in suspense)
Come to me, my fellow askewbie-folk. Read this message, and know calm.
We are all growing more and more excited by the day as August 24, 2001
looms larger and larger in our collective unconscious. The giddy
anticipation we feel as VA5 is made ready for our consumption by our
much-props-shouted-to demi-god, the Bob, is beginning to make its
presence felt on the board even now. Unfortunately this energy seems to
manifesting itself in very negative dimensions: complaints about
release dates, unneccesary flames directed to innocuous (and yet OT)
posts, hateful lashings out at the VA pantheon...
We must join hands, brothers and sisters! Yes! Let us agree to a
collective spritual group-hug as wait (patiently...patiently) for the
thrice-blessed day of August 24, 2001 to arrive. Let us resolve to curb
our tongues from impetuous ranting, and to meditate upon the idea that
the nervous apprehension we must endure until the much-anticipated flick
is ready is but a necessary ingredient of the blissful release of joy
and gratitude we will feel when we at last glimpse the completed project.
