Wow...sorry
about that. Now, finally, here's your update.
Wednesday,
December 28, 2005 - 3:45 PM
[Update by Frog]
Whew...okay.
First off, major apologies for the tardiness of this update,
which was due to you three days ago at the very least. First,
Christmas got in the way. Then, I had the stomach flu. Also,
amidst all that, I've been working on packing stuff. If you
haven't heard, I'm moving to Cape here in the next couple
of days, and that is taking up a lot of my time, as well.
Anyway,
there is a new quote, as well as the Halloween pictorial,
which is (I believe) a 53-picture affair. I hope you enjoy
them all.
I have
a couple more updates and a news archival coming up soon.
Hang in there.
New
pic and quote, plus a sneak peek at Kail: Moment of Truth!
Monday,
December 12, 2005 - 1:48 AM
[Update by Frog]
Well,
I still haven't gotten around to getting that Halloween pictorial
done, but I think, finally, the next time we are
due for a pic update, I'll have it ready to go. Ironically,
the Halloween pictorial will be just in time for Christmas!
In the meantime, enjoy the new pic and quote, which I believe
you may fancy.
Also,
you may notice that our traditional Christmas lights here
on the site are not up this year. This is because I made a
slightly better title graphic sometime early in 2005 and never
got around to making the Christmas version of it. Perhaps
after Wednesday I will find some time to make a new one, and
hopefully it will top the old one.
So, it
is possible that you are curious as to what I have been working
so hard on for the past month or so (on top of all the crap
I was already working on). Well, if you've been keeping up
with the blog, you know I've been making this comic book for
my publishing class. Well, I finally got it done this evening,
and now I'm going to show you some preview shots from it that
will hopefully get you riled up about reading it someday.
 This
is my new comic production company name and logo. I used to
be called Gateway Comics way back in the day, but then the
computer company of the same name got too big, and I decided
to drop the moniker.
This is
the cover, easily my best work in color ever. The shading
and highlights look better on the screen than they do in printed
form, but eh. Just a little. Please note that the guy on the
left is NOT Superman, but rather a Superman-inspired character
that was created by one of my friends. He is in the story
for continuity purposes.
Uh oh!
Kail is drawing a gun on somebody....
Interdimensional
travel always makes for a good time.
Of course,
no story would be complete without an epic space battle.
Anyway,
if you've any interest at all in reading this thing, let me
know and you can have your very own copy for the unbeatable
price of no dollars. I'll try to have some done in time for
Christmas.
Quote
of the Moment and Blog have been updated. Everyone's a winner!
Tuesday,
December 6, 2005 - 12:18 AM
[Update by Frog]
Sorry
this is coming so late. The title pretty much explains this
update in its entirety, really. I haven't started a second
page of quotes because I don't quite know how I want to do
that just yet, so the newest quote is on the same list as
all the others.
Okay,
I'm getting back to work now.
New
blog, new pic, 100th quote...HOLY CRAP!
Monday,
November 28, 2005 - 10:40 PM
[Update by Frog]
It's the
biggest frog-man.net update of ALL TIME!* Look at all this
crap that got updated!
The Halloween
pictorial was delayed once again due to the destructive nature
of my Fall 2005 schedule. It might be up in two Saturdays,
but then again, it might not, as I might be working on revising
short stories to be turned in on finals week, so we'll see.
In compensation, please accept this photograph of my dog sitting
on an extremely small table. Isn't that ridicurous?
There's
also a new quote...our 100th Quote of the Moment, that is!
This calls for a celebration--or, I might just start a new
page of quotes, a page 2, if you will.
Lastly,
new blog entry. This particular entry was written last night,
but I didn't get it up until now because there was a storm
going on as I wrote it.
That's
all.
*Lies.
It's
dangerous to go alone, take this quote and blog update with
you!
Sunday,
November 20, 2005 - 7:50 PM
[Update by Frog]
This update
contains one new quote and one new blog entry. Be forewarned
that the blog entry was written last night when my internet
was not working. Thus, I was in a pretty poor mood.
Did you
know that the next quote will be our 100th Quote of the Moment?
You'll get exactly 100 right now if you add up all the numbers
on the leaderboard because one quote had more than one person
involved (which leads me to believe one quote is unaccounted
for on the leaderboard, because three people were involved
in that quote, so wouldn't there be 101?). But if you count
individual entries, we are at 99 right now. Isn't that exciting?
I think it's pretty neat.
And now,
I return to the joys of homework.
Last
chance for a thousand years...
Sunday,
November 13, 2005 - 1:38 PM
[Update by Frog]
I would
like to have done a much bigger update this time around. A
pictorial is in the works, and I was hoping to have it done
this weekend, but a very busy weekend has seen to the delay
of that. On top of that, the homework just got...well, worse
than ever. As such, you have received just one picture instead
of many (and a quote, of course). With luck, maybe the Halloween
pictorial will be up two weeks from now.
I suppose
the status of dodgeball this week is in question due to the
JHS FCA tournament. I wish them well and hope they see a lot
of good action, but man, with the amount of aggression I'll
need to release by Friday, they couldn't have picked a worse
date.
Well,
I guess I'm going to go to school and/or work on homework
for the next 120 hours or so. Or die. Whichever comes first.
Going
against direct orders to sleep, here's a new quote and blog
entry.
Monday,
November 7, 2005 - 1:20 AM
[Update by Frog]
This week's
quote is probably more of a forehead slapper than it is hilarious,
and the blog is...well, a blog, though fortunately somewhat
less suicide-inspiring than the last entry I did.
Now I
have to hurry up and do one other thing before I can go to
bed. Good times.
Of
amusement parks and exercises that sound painful, it's a new
pic and quote!
Saturday,
October 29, 2005 - 4:00 PM
[Update by Frog]
Woo! Everyone
likes site updates, especially during the Halloween weekend.
(This fact is actually totally unfounded, but hopefully it
will get you more excited about either the update or about
Halloween.) So here is an update for you now. Enjoy.
Pay attention
to the message board for further information on Halloween
weekend fun.
Amidst
the homework barrage, here's the first new weekly quote.
Sunday,
October 23, 2005 - 8:25 PM
[Update by Frog]
I need
to write a short story and I'm working on formulating a plot
for it right now. In the meantime, I figured I would post
the first of the new weekly quotations. I also added two more
to the queue this very week, so as of now, we're not even
losing any ground! Rock on!
Also,
check it out! In honor of this year's All Hallow's Eve, we're
having a special round of Halloween-themed dodgeball this
week. Wear your costumes and whatnot, if it's entirely possible.
I have
ideas for two new articles for this website, but they're not
going to get written until the homework subsides. But they're
coming.
That is
all. I might do a blog entry later.
Homework
+ Cards games + trip to Six Flags = very late pic and quote.
Tuesday,
October 18, 2005 - 12:18 AM
[Update by Frog]
This was
to be up Saturday morning, then Sunday or much earlier today
(referring to Monday), but a lot of events and activities
got in the way, most of which will probably be covered in
the blog that will hopefully be up later tonight (or this
morning...man, I hate the midnight turnover). Anyway, the
pic and quote are new.
Also,
due to the tremendous influx of quality quotations, I've noticed
there are at least 25 useable ones in the queue, so new quotes
will now be posted weekly until further notice.
Now I'm
going to go do a blog entry, and then I hear my soul is being
fed to the giant creature that lives under SEMO.
Usher
in October with a new pic and quote!
Saturday,
October 1, 2005 - 3:18 PM
[Update by Frog]
Man, even
though I've been making blog updates all the time, it still
feels like this is the first time I've updated the site in
awhile. I guess it's just because I've only been changing
the date to your left that indicates the latest blog entry.
Whatever. I do hope you enjoy the new pic and quote... I think
both are very much on the funny side.
Go Cards.
Changing
up how I announce new blog entries from now on.
Thursday,
September 22, 2005 - 11:08 PM
[Update by Frog]
Just
so future news archives don't get clogged up with pointless
updates stating that I updated the blog
(which I did, by the way), I think I'm just going to put the
date of the most recent one over by the link in the navigation
menu. Is that all right with everyone else? What's that? you
don't mind? Okay, good. I'll go ahead and do it, then.
Stepping
up production... again!
Tuesday,
September 20, 2005 - 9:45 PM
[Update by Frog]
Blog
entries are now being posted at an unprecedented rate of three
per week! My grade better be good if I have to annoy
you this often.
....
Sunday,
September 18, 2005 - 10:29 PM
[Update by Frog]
I
don't know how I scraped enough crap together to do one of
these, but here
it is. Enjoy.
This
pic and quote update is just awful... awful entertaining!
Saturday,
September 17, 2005 - 11:55 AM
[Update by Frog]
Ah, it
feels great to have regained my grasp of the concepts of time,
sanity, and the benefits of a good night's rest. And, my allergies
seem to be passing, with the exception of my stopped up/runny
nose, which is the most annoying part of it, but at least
the sneezing and coke eyes are gone.
Anyway,
I have supplied you with a new pic and quote update, which
are once again brought to you on schedule, unlike last time.
Aside
from pics, quotes, and blogs, this site is suffering from
stagnation of staggering proportions. I intend to remedy that
as soon as I get caught up on homework and eat my brussel
sprouts.
And
again...
Thursday
(I think?), September... something, 2005 - early AM
[Update by Frog]
I believe
I'm still in the single digits in hours of sleep this week.
Yet here I am, not going to sleep. And I know I work at 8
AM on this particular morning, so it must be either a Tuesday
or a Thursday. And I had advanced creative writing just a
few hours ago, so yeah, it's Thursday.
Well,
I needed to do some homework tonight, so here's a weblog.
Have fun with it. I'm gonna go pass out.
It
felt so wrong, because technically it was doing homework on
a Saturday.
Saturday,
September 10, 2005 - 4:05 PM
[Update by Frog]
Nevertheless,
it was done. Now, quell your boredom by reading a fresh entry
from your favorite* weblog!
I had
to take time out to wear my Eagles shirt for this particular
entry, as football season has begun! Woo! But don't forget
to continue to support your friendly neighborhood St. Louis
Cardinals.
*If my
blog really is your favorite, you've got problems. Seriously,
find some new friends with more exciting lives than mine.
A
website update, complete with three things!
Tuesday,
September 6, 2005 - 12:11 AM
[Update by Frog]
Running
a little late here, thanks mostly in part to my inexcusable
lack of focus. I also blame baseball.
We have,
of course, a new pic and quote, obviously too late in the
week again. There is also a weblog
entry.
Now, back
to the homework. Or perhaps sleep.
Well,
you can't deny this...
Thursday,
September 1, 2005 - 11:49 PM
[Update by Frog]
...at
least the website is receiving some much-needed updating,
even if it is merely coming in the form of unimaginative and
often depressing weblog
entries. This one is a lot better than the last one, though.
Seriously, it is.
These
things are pretty hard to write when you have nothing to talk
about.
Tuesday,
August 30, 2005 - 12:45 AM
[Update by Frog]
Here's
the latest in
blog entries, but I really can't recommend reading it. Not
only is it boring, but you'll also want to shoot yourself
by the end. Yes, my blog entries have come to that. Yet again.
It was only a matter of time.
Why,
here's a blog entry now!
Friday,
August 26, 2005 - 4:05 PM
[Update by Frog]
I
wrote it last night, but my internet was broken, so here it
is now.
Updates
to the weblog are coming soon.
Thursday,
August 25, 2005 - 12:59 AM
[Update by Frog]
The following
is a message that I freshly posted on my blog
so that it didn't get deleted, but it also contains a lovely
announcement (I guess):
"So,
here's my situation. First of all, I needed to make an update
to this thing so it doesn't get deleted. Secondly, this blog
is going to see more action very soon. My advanced creative
writing class requires that I keep a journal of at least three
entries a week. The entries for that journal are going to
double as blog entries here. The reason I fail to update the
weblog on a regular basis is because I also keep another,
written journal that I write in pretty frequently. However,
the written journal is personal enough that I don't really
want anybody else looking at it. As such, I don't really want
to turn it in to my teacher, even though we can request she
not read certain entries. The weblog, meanwhile, is on an
easily accessible website, so I only talk about things here
that I'm comfortable with everybody else seeing. Considering
the weblog is in serious need of regular updates, this seems
like a fine way to fulfill my class requirement, as well as
entertain and inform you at the same time. (I guess, anyway--I
don't quite know how many of you actually read this even when
it was getting regular updates.) So, look for some fresh blog
entries starting... well, I guess I *have* to start pretty
soon if I don't want my grade to suffer."
Sound
good? Good. Maybe I can set up an official updating schedule
or something, so you know when to look. We'll see.
Well,
I guess it's about time to update the website.
Sunday,
August 21, 2005 - 3:40 PM
[Update by Frog]
This
update was obviously due last weekend, but I was busy then
and put it off for a couple of days, intending to do it Monday
or Tuesday. But then Summer Slam got cancelled and the dodgeball
controversy reached a new, disgusting high, and I got bogged
down even more. So I figured it would probably be wise to
get something up before school starts (unfortunately) tomorrow.
So, here it is... the pic and quote update that was due a
week ago. I hope you enjoy it, and I'll try to stop being
a lazy jerk.
One
of our "Feiner" updates...
Monday,
August 1, 2005 - 3:18 PM
[Update by Frog]
Today's
pic and quote update (somewhat unintentionally) features our
good friend Richard Feiner III at his... erm... finest. I
hope you all enjoy his antics, and there's probably more to
come, as Ricky seems to have reached some sort of comedic
prime that we haven't witnessed until this summer.
I must
go now, but more updates truly are coming soon.
Also,
check out Blake's new podcast, Under
the Radar.
A
more significant update than usual.
Saturday,
July 16, 2005 - 4:11 PM
[Update by Frog]
Not that
significant, though. There's a new quote, and then a plethora
of pics that can be found in a new and very damp Shellshocked
4 pictorial, which doesn't include a lot of actual band pictures,
sadly. Details inside.
Old news
was archived.
More updates
coming soon.
Ah,
bluegrass and softball--it's a winning combination!
Thursday,
July 14, 2005 - 7:28 PM
[Update by Frog]
I bet
you thought I forgot about this site, didn't you? Well, you're
so far off course that one of the sea monsters at the edge
of the map ate you! Despite the time and energy I'm putting
into Chewy Ninja
Monkey Bars these days (yes, another shameless plug),
this site is still very much alive.
Today,
I bring you a pictures update on The
Sweet and Lowdowns site, featuring photographs from Shellshocked
4 and the June 25 show at the Cherry Street Artisan. Also,
due to popular demand, a New Wells softball schedule has been
added below the Quote of the Moment on your right. Only four
games left, plus a TBA game that will determine whether or
not we can go to the playoffs. More info on that when the
time is right.
Things
back to normal? New pic and quote?
Saturday,
July 2, 2005 - 3:07 PM
[Update by Frog]
I'm happy
to say the website seems to have stabilized... for now.
In the
meantime, whilst worrying about the next time the site will
go down, enjoy the new picture and quotation, which are surprisingly
on schedule, for once.
Also,
(shameless plug) make sure to check out chewyninjamonkeybars.com,
if you haven't already. And tell your friends. And otherwise
stir up publicity for it. Thanks.
We've
switched back to the old Message Board...
Wednesday,
June 29, 2005 - 7:00 PM
[Update by Frog]
You
know, this
one. Just in case you didn't get the message.
Site
(partially) restored...
Sunday,
June 26, 2005 - 10:55 PM
[Update by Frog]
Aside
from the Sweet and Lowdowns .mp3s, the site should be back
to where it was prior to this disastrous weekend. Actually,
the weekend itself was pretty good, but it certainly wasn't
friendly to this website. More on that soon enough, I guess.
Also,
I shall continue my lobbying for a switch back to the old
message board.
[Update
(Monday, June 27, 6:23 PM) - .mp3s have been back up since
around 2:30 this afternoon.]
Coming
to you inexcusably late, it's the pic and quote update!
Tuesday,
June 21, 2005 - 8:35 PM
[Update by Frog]
Finally,
I'm getting caught up just a bit! Hooray! Unfortunately, still
no Wagon Wheel on TSL. I think my internet service provider
has vowed to make sure I don't get it uploaded or something,
as the file transfer has failed every time I've tried to upload
it. I will maybe try again when I go to bed tonight.
By the
way, the Shellshocked pictorial will be available the next
time the pic is updated. And by Shellshocked pictorial, I
mean a wet, sloppy, and somewhat hilarious pre-Shellshocked
pictorial, since I got very few pictures of the actual show
before my camera ran out of batteries.
[Update
(9:39 PM) - Wagon Wheel uploaded. About time!]
Another
little Sweet and Lowdowns update...
Tuesday,
June 21, 2005 - 1:30 AM
[Update by Frog]
This particular
update has something to do with some sort of compact
disc.
Still
no Wagon Wheel, still no pic or quote. *sigh*
Misadventures
in uploading -OR- Sweet and Lowdowns site update...
Monday,
June 20, 2005 - 2:10 AM
[Update by Frog]
Well,
as you can see, there's no pic and quote update yet. However,
there is a Sweet
and Lowdowns update, featuring many new pics and some
new mp3s. There's still one more mp3 on the way, but I have
got to get some sleep, so it'll be up tomorrow, assuming I
don't shoot myself trying to upload it. I spent pretty much
the whole weekend trying to get my internet connection and
my webserver to cooperate long enough to get all the TSL files
uploaded. It seems I failed. Truth be told, dial-up ain't
what it used to be.
I was
planning on assembling a pictorial of the few Shellshocked
pics I took and using it for this week's pic, but after this
weekend I'm pretty put off by the thought of putting any significant
work into websites, so I might just hold that off until next
time and use some other pic. We'll see.
Likewise,
Chewy Ninja Monkey Bars: The Website was further delayed thanks
to all of this. I apologize for what is becoming an ever-present
myriad of inconveniences and delays surrounding both websites
these days.
Pay
attention to these important updates!
Monday,
June 6, 2005 - 12:55 AM
[Update by Frog]
I
sincerely apologize for the super lateness of this update,
but somebody cut my brake line --OR-- FuitadNET can
go to hell.
We're
a little late on Shellshocked advertising (and Shellshocked
everything, for that matter), but if you are like
most humans, your cursor was instinctively drawn to the new
animated advertisement for SS4 at the top of your screen.
Check out the website
for event and band info. Oh, and please tell your friends.
Secondly,
visually ingest the new picture and quotation, which are unfortunately
late due to super busyness Saturday and FuitadNET being stupid
jerks who are stupid yesterday. My apologies again!
That's
all I got... for now.
Because
I'm still a human with real thoughts and emotions!
Tuesday,
May 31, 2005 - 7:21 PM
[Update by Frog]
I
made an update to the weblog.
Horpefully you will find it enjoyable and not a waste of your
time. I added some links to other blogs, as well, so the owners
of those blogs should post some more.
Big
pictures update to The Sweet and Lowdowns site.
Monday,
May 30, 2005 - 7:43 PM
[Update by Frog]
This would
have been up yesterday, but I spent a good portion of the
latter part of the day battling the server trying to get things
uploaded, and it didn't go too well. Nevertheless, here
is the update. Enjoy.
Weblog
is next. I probably have a rant in the works, too. Summer
is kicking my ass in a very good way, if such a good ass-kicking
exists.
Busiest
Awesome Week ever!
Saturday,
May 21, 2005 - 3:27 PM
[Update by Frog]
I think
it's safe to say summer is off to a promising start, despite
a few mishaps and... well... irregularities is maybe the best
word. But, overall, Awesome Week 2005 was thoroughly awesome.
And I guess it's still going through tonight.
Get a
snootful of the new picture and quotation, if you will, as
they are the only updates I have been able to muster thus
far. An update to the Sweet and Lowdowns site, as well as
a much-needed weblog update, are coming very soon.
Finals
week... it's all so close to being over, I'm doing a pic and
quote update.
Sunday,
May 8, 2005 - 2:03 AM
[Update by Frog]
Since
I finally... y'know, have a moment to spare in which I can
actually make a website update. A week with two nights of
less than 3 hours of sleep and no nights over 7 hours of sleep
does not a productive Brian make. But at least I don't have
5 finals like I have in pretty much every other semester of
my college career.
Anyway,
I thought I would let you know I've been putting a little
work into the CNMB site, and all I can say now is that it's
progressing. I won't set a deadline, 'cus I know I won't meet
it. Damn school. Just be over with already.
If you're
not already aware, educate yourself on the Rage in the Cage
dodgeball tournament on Friday, May 20. As always, more information
is available at the JUDL
website.
New
Wells Softball Update:
We're 0-3, and we lost all of those pretty terribly. New Wells
Softball needs your support starting tonight at approximately
8:00 PM in Altenburg versus Immanuel, Altenburg.
Small
update to the Sweet and Lowdowns site.
Wednesday,
April 27, 2005 - 11:15 PM
[Update by Frog]
Just
so it looks like I'm doing something around here, I figured
I would point out the latest update
to the Sweet and Lowdowns site, which includes new pics from
their most recent show, and a few other small things you may
or may not notice. Check it out.
Pic,
quote, news, announcements, etc.
Saturday,
April 23, 2005 - 2:43 PM
[Update by Frog]
Hopefully
I remember to cover everything I am meaning to cover in this
website update.
There
is a new pic and quote, surprisingly on schedule, as well.
I also
made one of those little link buttons for The
Sweet and Lowdowns site. You can find that down by the
No Budget and (defunct) Ivanovic buttons.
Today
is officially 24-Hour Comics Day for 2005. But, it looks like
I'm going to be working on homework and crap most of the day,
so I won't be participating. However, you know what this means--we're
doing it again this summer, and hopefully it will be bigger
and better than last summer's event.
Yesterday
was this website's 5th birthday. I cannot believe how old
I am, nor can I believe how long this site has been around.
But I would like to thank all of you who have given me reason
to keep it going all this time, despite its lack of evolution.
Lastly,
chewyninjamonkeybars.com was supposed to be up yesterday,
according to my deadline. Naturally, I failed to meet that
deadline. This is because of homework, mostly, and the demotivational
effects of homework. It is also because my server has not
sent me my username, password, and all of that stuff that
I need to get it up and running. According to their forums,
I am supposed to contact them and tell them to send it to
me, even though they are supposed to do it themselves. It's
pretty much a testament of their incompetent customer service,
which has been a major complaint with my server since they
got bought out by a bigger company. Figures.
[Update
- 3:23 PM - Also added a video link on the TSL site.]
A
new weblog entry is upon you!
Thursday,
April 14, 2005 - 12:20 AM
[Update by Frog]
You'll
notice there have been a lot of updates lately, probably because
I'm supposed to be doing research papers, but I hate doing
them, so I do as many things as I possibly can to put off
doing the research papers, including making boring
website updates of little substance and questionable accuracy,
which in turn waste your time when you should also probably
be doing some sort of end-of-semester projects and papers.
Yeah,
so. There you have it. 4.4 weeks to go...
Small
update to Gouletarian State.
Tuesday,
April 12, 2005 - 5:45 PM
[Update by Frog]
The
Gouletarian State website was
brought up to date today with various small changes and the
addition of a G-State team pic to the Team History page.
Also,
chewyninjamonkeybars.com was registered today. It's on. Charles
said the long URL adds to the novelty of the site, so I went
with it.
Pics
and quotes! We're just a bunch of crazy pics and quotes!
Sunday,
April 10, 2005 - 10:56 PM
[Update by Frog]
"Do
it for Chewie and the Ewoks... and all the other puppETs!"
Seriously,
though, the pic and quote are new, albeit a day late. My apologies;
it was another one of those busy weekends.
Firefox
users may have noticed a page design error at the top of the
navigation menu. That has been fixed, finally, thanks to Jon
Reno and his investigative abilities.
I'll probably
do a weblog later this week to cover the weekend or something.
That's all I got for now. Back to the homework, now... blargh.
Weblog
updated... finally!

was most certainly a foolish, foolish mistake, as I could
have got some much-needed sleep tonight, but there were a
million things building up that I needed to do, and I hadn't
done a weblog
in almost a month, so that's what I ended up doing. Give it
a look and enjoy. Maybe tomorrow I'll do some real work.
Chewy
Ninja Monkey Bars to get its own website, regular updates.

[Update by Frog]
I've been
keeping this under my hat for awhile, but the time has come
to reveal my master plan.
By talking
to me or occasionally reading the weblog, you've probably
picked up the impression that I wouldn't mind truly committing
to Chewy Ninja Monkey Bars, to make new comic strips
regularly (once a week at the least), market it,
build an audience, sell merch, and perhaps one day make a
pseudo-living off of it. But mostly just to make new comics
regularly. I like doing them, and you guys seem to legitimately
enjoy them (unless you're all just being nice, but I don't
believe that's the case).
I've had
a lot of fears and reservations about doing it. For one thing,
school, hangin' out, and my own laziness have severely hindered
my time set aside for drawing over the years. Bringing that
kind of attitude into an environment in which you are committed
to sticking to a regular schedule of updates will drive an
audience away faster than a vehicle designed to drive away
audiences. I did it this summer, even after I ran out of strips
from 24-Hour Comics Day, and I think I can do it again. I
waste enough time everyday to fit in regular drawing.
Also,
I've always been afraid of introducing a massive and unfamiliar
audience to this particular website. To be perfectly
honest (and a little selfish), this is our place. It's about
us. This is where we go to post things on the board, make
plans, look at stupid pictures of ourselves, and whatever
else. In most respects, this website has become what I wanted
it to become when construction first began. It doesn't serve
as many people as I once thought it would, nor does it necessarily
serve whom I thought it would. But our little community
here--all of you--is something special, something that I hope
maintains itself to the day the internet explodes in a hail
of pornography and online pharmacies. And to have a flood
of new people show up because of a growing comic strip audience
is something I don't want.
Therefore,
I have decided to reintroduce Chewy Ninja Monkey Bars on its
own website. It'll have a bunch of stuff... the comics, of
course, cast page, mythos, a FAQ, probably a forum someday,
merch someday, pretty much all the stuff most webcomic sites
have. The target date is April 22, 2005 (also the 5-year anniversary
of this particular site), but this month is gonna be quite
awful in terms of school, so I cannot promise I'll meet that
date. But, I'm really excited about it, and I hope you are,
too.
There's
just one last thing...
What should
the domain name be? cnmb.com is taken. chewyninjamonkeybars.com
is sickeningly long. Suggestions?

I'm going
to start assembling the user bios criteria sometime soon.
I'll post it, and then you can send your responses to my frog-man.net
email address. You know the one. Also, when you send in your
responses, you should also send in a picture of yourself for
your bio. Otherwise I'll have to dig through mine, and I'll
find a really stupid one of you. Okay, probably not, but do
you really want to run that risk?

Someone
please make a note of it--let it be known that on this day,
Monday, March 14 in the year 2005, Brian Rhodes fell from
his spot atop the Quote of the
Moment Leaderboard, and shall never return. "Good
riddance!" the townspeople cried out, celebrating with
drink and promiscuity.
In other
words, the pic and quote were updated. My apologies for being
so late in doing so; it was a very, very busy weekend,
but also a very excellent weekend. Birthday goings-on this
year were a thousand times better than last year, at the very
least, considering some birthday stuff actually took place
this year. I'll elaborate sometime soon in a weblog.
Spring
break is on! However, traditionally, spring break is one of
my busiest weeks of the year, and it's looking no different
this time. Last minute JUDL
stuff to take care of, errands to run that I don't have time
to run otherwise, lots of reading, several schemes to hatch,
some homework (ugh), and one unauthorized dictatorship to
overthrow. However, I may have some time here and there for
some updates. Or I'll somehow force the time on myself.
Coming
soon, because you demanded it: Frog-Man.net
Message Board user bios!
I
owe you one of these.

Sorry
it's running a little late this week; I have been sorely out
of it... too much homework, plus illness. You know how it
is sometimes. The weblog
itself, however, should by all accounts be safe and pleasant
to view. Now, it's sleepy time for what might as well be the
first time all week... ugh.
This
pic and quote will come into your house at night and wreck
up the place!

And they'll
sell your children's organs to zoos for food. Computers may
be twice as fast as they were in 1972, but the average voter
is as drunk and stupid as ever... anyway, the pic and quote
are new.
Everyone
should continue showing up at dodgeball as you have the past
two weeks. Turnout was phenominal last night, especially for
the lower courts. Keep it up. Best dodgeball played since
last summer.
Also,
thanks to everyone who assisted in today's JUDL Invitational
flyer run. Many, many flyers were distributed.
New
weblog. Also, we officially played dodgeball on Friday. It's
back.

That's
right, kids. It's back, and you better be there. It's not
the upper courts, but man, it's dodgeball. Let's just bask
in the glory of it all. Or something. Look, just show up.
Oh, yeah,
here's this link
to the weblog.
This
weblog brought to you by me not studying for my test tomorrow.

No
harm done. I'll do it at work. Besides, I just finished
that FDR paper and didn't want to do any more homework. But
hey, this marks the first time all semester that it didn't
take me until 3 AM to type a paper. I really hate that. But
now I gotta go lift and probably won't get to bed until 2
or so. Eh. Do what you gotta do...
Updates
are something I make when teachers don't want me dead.

Sorry
about the lack of everything here over the past two weeks.
I've been preoccupied with a number of things, both good and
bad.
The pic
and the quote are new, of course. If you're curious about
the pic, that's a face hugger in a stasis tube that my brother-in-law
built. In person, it's even more awesome.
Dodgeball
was a bust again. Dragxor. Oh well... those lights gotta come
back on eventually.
A lot
of topics should be covered in tomorrow's weblog, as I didn't
do one last week. I just hope I can finish my 5-page FDR paper,
my 1-page Drawing paper, and my studying of morphology for
the first exam in my Principles of Language class in time
to actually do the weblog. I'll try my hardest.
I
stayed up late again, even though it was totally unnecessary
to do so.

But
hey, if nothing else, this weblog
did come out of it, so at least it wasn't a total waste. I'll
probably fall asleep in a class or two tomorrow, but man,
who wants to go to bed before 2 AM? Not me, apparently. Despite
the... *yawn*... overwhelming exhaustion... all right, now
I'm going to bed, before I potentially get stuck in some loop
in which I ramble forever, and then someone will either have
to time travel and stop me before it happens, or they'll have
to fire some laser into the loop to disrupt it and free me.
See what I mean? Rambling! And I'm out.
My
fellow Earthicans, here are your weekend updates.

And they're
not of today's crappy SNL variety, either.
You get
one new pic and one new quote, as is the custom. And for once,
I've done it on Saturday, and I've managed to do
so without spewing crumbs at you. But, the shake machine is
broken, and we're out of pie, so you don't get any dessert.
That's
it. I would like to try to make weblogs a Sunday/early Monday
morning kind of thing, so expect one soon, assuming I have
things to say.
First
official entry in the new weblog.
Monday,
January 24, 2005 - 2:02 AM
[Update by Frog]
It's right
here. Hopefully,
now that I've found a system I like, there will be more entries.
According to my plan, more entries will in turn also give
the impression that more things are happening on this website
than there really are.
...And
there for a second, I thought impression was spelled with
two M's, which is a sign that I probably need to go to bed.
Hey,
remember Chewy Ninja Monkey Bars?

If you
don't, I am inclined to believe that this
little number will refresh your memory. I'm trying something
a little different with the artwork again. Remember that Christmas
thing I did with the pencils and the ink? Well, I kinda liked
it, so I did pencils and ink again on this one. You'll have
to let me know what you think of it.
Go Eagles.
For the love of God, please, go Eagles.
[Another
update (2:30 AM): I added all my Xanga entries to the Old
Weblog Archive and changed all links to the Xanga blog
to the new blog. "Stop saying 'blog' in there!"]
The
last straw.

yet another new blog,
this time courtesy of bloghorn. This one's a keeper, so please
tell me that everything works properly.

Hey kids.
I hate to say it, but this is not a meaningful content update.
Or is it...?
- I archived
some old news, and made that 2004
old news archive I mentioned awhile back. Y'know, in case
you're really, really bored.
- Links
were updated. Do websites still have links pages? Or did they
die out with counters? Well, this site still has both, and
is proud of it. Some new ones were added, some old ones removed
(links to my friends' blogs that were on the links page are
now on the new blog), and so on, and so on, and so on...
- I'm
going to transfer all the Xanga blog entries to the Old Weblog
Archive. Once that's done, the new blog will officially begin.
- A new
comic strip is near completion. I keep running out of time
in my day to finish it. Not an excuse, I know. Still not living
up to that whole consistency thing...
Lastly,
the part of the update that isn't trite and boring... I have
an inkling that today is Carol's 21st birthday, as well as
my brother and sister-in-law's 4th anniversary. Best wishes
all around!
Trying
a different test blog that actually works... also, code monkeys,
read this!

[Update by Frog]
At long
last, my quixotic (in that I've been obsessed with it since
the weekend, and the fact that I'm probably the only one that
cares about it) efforts to establish a new weblog seemed to
have reached something slightly resembling fruition.
It's better than that last one I tried that didn't work. Have
a look and see if you like it. Why do I want a new weblog?
See the news post below.
Now, code
monkeys... there are still unresolved issues with the board
that I don't know how to fix. For one, I can't find/turn off
the cookie that remembers your name and inexplicably your
links and images. I think we're all agreed that it needs to
go, but I don't know how to do it. Also, there is still the
problem where messages in a thread are not listed in chronological
order, oldest to newest. I don't know if that is even fixable.
So, if you're a programmer or otherwise think you can dig
through the code and figure these things out, email
me or MSN me or board me, and I'll send you the code.
If you volunteer and succeed even in only one of these tasks,
you'll be treated like a king, or a mayor at the very least.
Charles, I know you have the code already (you gave it to
me and all), but I know you're a busy man, so I hate bugging
you about this crud all the time.
Eagles
advance to NFC title game... again. Also, new pic and quote.

God help
them, the city of Philadelphia, Craig Rhodes, and myself if
they once again don't reach the Super Bowl...
The pic
and quote are new, of course. I'm working on getting it back
to Saturday, which will likely happen once school starts again.
Speaking
of that, I'm sure once school begins, I'll have plenty to
say about it and the other portions of my pathetic life. As
such, I'm testing out a new weblog, and I'd like you to look
at it and tell me what you think of it. Xanga is
pretty good, but I just can't stand that you have to be a
member to post comments. One of my big problems as a human
being is that I want to hear what people have to say about
things. I don't care if it's an opinion, making fun of me,
or reassurances or affirmations when I'm not sure of something
or when I need cheering up (those last two are admittedly
selfish on my part)... whatever. I guess that's probably human
nature, to an extent. Anyway, this new one runs on my webspace
and all that (like the new board) and allows everyone to post
comments (I think). Give it a look.
[Update:
The link to the blog is being pretty stupid in that it says
there aren't any posts when you go there, even though there
is one. I'm working on it.]
Regarding
dodgeball between now and spring... as you may or may not
know, they don't even turn the lights on at the upper courts
anymore. We have the options of calling them and asking them
to turn the lights on every Friday night, playing at the lower
courts (where the lights are inexplicably on?), or perhaps
something else. Ideas? Anyone want to take charge? Anyone
besides me and the six other people there this past Friday
even want to play anymore?
Costumed
super freaks made me make a new weblog entry...

The
above statement is thoroughly untrue, but it shouldn't stop
you from reading the weblog
entry I actually did make, since a new entry was long
overdue. Come on, don't you want to find out if I got out
of the exploding building I mentioned at the end of the last
entry? Oh, right... well, read it, anyway.
There's

[Update by Frog]
Happy
New Year, folks! Several things to bring to your attention
on this late, late... late night...
- The
pic and quote have been updated after not being updated last
weekend due to Christmas.
- The
Christmas comic/greeting is over in the CNMB
portion of the site now, in case you missed it.
- If you'll
take a closer look, the title graphic for the site has been
renovated, and in my opinion looks a lot cleaner and generally
better than it did. That's been bugging me for awhile, so
I figured I'd do it after taking down the Christmas decorations,
which will be new and improved this year since Nate made fun
of them.
- I removed
the Kail portion of the website. It was painfully incomplete,
and I'm not anticipating working on it anytime soon. Before
I ever consider bringing it back, I need to scan, save, and
re-print all the old comics before they fall apart or otherwise
age any further. They are some of my most treasured posessions,
so I'd like to do something to preserve them.
That's
all for now, but I seem to be on the move, so stay tuned!
