1) This site isn't closing. It was in danger of somehow rusting, confuzzling computer experts everywhere since this place is just a collection of data and bases, but dagnabbit, if I said it almost happened, then it almost happened!

Nothing has changed at the Resort, really, other than more 'Bags and less excuses. For the most part, the visitors have changed; they are on summer vacation now, largely, and are much more sensitive to the fact that Kirby's new game is in developmental Hel.

2) What? Taking the Storybook as a metaphor? Never~! It is obviously just a happy and cheerful romp, according to most's comments concerning that furtive feature.

Your view on the end is a bit off, tho', as the true ending is explained, without symbolism or interpretation, when you attain it.

And as clearly stated in the Storybook by Ometon himself, I created it.

You're a metaphor.

She doesn't get to be in the mailbag now; she got a guest spot for two sessions, as is the limit for people who don't actually run the thing. My guess is that'll be her last run, too.

That girl was way too verbose. She even topped the normal rant-king Bimblesnaff that last session, too, responding to pretty much everything she could get her grubby little mitts on, including some "answers" which were just "Ask this other guy~!" who had, in fact, already answered the question! She just placed her responses on top (as she did with seemingly every letter) to, I dunno, talk more? I don't quite understand her motives. Other 'Baggers have no problem not responding to a portion of the letter; dunno what hers was.

Sixty-five was the fewest letters answered in the new 'Bag yet possibly the longest! That isn't what the Mailbag is about; if someone asks "What are your favorite sammich?" you don't go into the finer points of a turkey club; you draw a picture of fowls gettin' down to some techno music with the caption "i donez umberstandds teh quesshuns~!" People are in this for some sort of entertainment or site informative value, not to get to know random blokes. All about efficiency.

Aru could sometimes be mailbag~!

0) Blutty 'el! We were doing soooo good. I was about to dust off those old new files until you mentioned the dreaded PR again. Diz had just buried that long since stinking corpse. Do you people not want new features on KRR or somethin'?

1) Adeliene is studying abroad for art; that implies some sort of edumacation. Doc is definitely educated what with all his contraptions. You really didn't put much thought into this, did you?

2) The kind that are TV shows.

3) My country would have no interaction with other countries. Dem guys is chumps and wrong in every fashion.

4)2

5) I don't understand this question. Are you asking both for favorite RPG series, favorite RPG and series (assumedly game series), or are you somehow implying that RPGs and series are interchangeable.

6) Link to the Past trumps all.

7) Is it possible for you to begin a paragraph not with "Anyways"?

Five years on a project would nigh-on guarantee awesomosity if said five years were spent working on said project. However, the thing jumped from one system to another, requiring either a massive rework of the code to utilize the improved potential (else not live up to prior mentioned awesomeness) or be mostly new stuff altogether.

This sorta Developmental Hell usually means a project will be canceled, or just effectively canceled due to delays. Isn't that right, Duke Nukem?

1) We get very many letters. Well written? Not so much.

2) Plaid videogames, eh?

5) Gooey? Who cares about that load. He could never carry a game by himself -- or a series. You are an idiot for having that idea as it is the worst idea ever, and anyone who even thinks about featuring him in the lead of a game series should be shot out of a cannon. Pfft! A Gooey game. I bet if someone tried to make garbage like that, no body would play or even know that it existed.

Now, as for Canvas Curse, how could he be featured if he had no limbs to lose? Isn't that why all the protagonists were there in the first place?

6) I have clam, too. Oh, wait, you said... never mind.

3) Kirby lacks the ability to mover out of caves. Know how when you mover to the top of the level, there is nothing there but you still can't mover any higher? That's what was at the mine shaft.

5) Dream Land: The only place where Juniors aren't the children of Seniors, but rather their siblings and occasionally the same individual aged slightly!

Apparently, you mid'd them.

1) They are both mammals, so that makes perfect sense to me.

1?) Don't we all? Good thing they brought him back from the dead. I knew that sniper's bullet wouldn't last for long. Although I may be getting confused...

2-4) No. Now send us one metric tonne of fan-type mails. Well, send after sterilizing all your mails of porcine diseasery.

If complaining about games being the same were a valid argument, we'd only have one Guitar Hero and one Halo.

In a perfect world, I guess. Kirby at least got powers, pets, and partners.

Backwards talk apparently even got tired for this guy one line in. Good for you!... for quitting~!

I thought you'd be a kat. Or a Land.

1) Answer me what the frick kinda name "chin" is first.

2) In whatever alternate universe the cartoon doesn't exist, I'd still think the hypothetical show would be tainted.

3) MTV used to have Beavis and Butthead; now, it is just worthless.

I refuse to answer your letter just to make your thanks in vain.... Aw, blutty 'el!

Wow, never saw those before, especially not on a page that was more navigable, higher quality, or implied release on the Game Cube instead of the Wii since they are so old.

The best Kirby commercial -- hands down -- has gotta be the one for Adventure. There was nothing really good about it, just one things wonderfully horrible~!

King Dedede's name was horribly mispronounced in it. No, not that tired old battle between the correct Deh-deh-deh and the idiotic Dee-dee-dee; his name was pronounced a new third fashion that everybody (except the announcer) will agree was wrong: Dee-deed, obviously breaking it up into only two syllables and taking the terminal e to be silent. Hy-larious!

1) Ometon is normally pictured with a frown since his spikes prevent him from being hugged. If he ain't sad, he's prolly being a creepy pervert, which is very different than chuckling.

2) I'm supposed to get paid for that?

3) I have, like, one person on my MSN Messenger contact list. I know more people than that who use MSN, but they all have better instant messengers they can be reached on instead.

4) I live inside my own head. Or I just have a skull full of tiny people with tinier people inside their skulls. I often forget which it is on account of having an infinite progression of more miniature mes in my brain.

2) Spriting: because lacking any discernible artistic ability shouldn't mean you other people's work can go unruined! Stick Pikachu's tail and ears on anything and it's a masterpiece~!

4) They is very bigoted of you; what if someone here loved standardized tests? I was married to one for a brief period in the late sixties.

So, to answer you question, I hate standardized tests.

6) Daimyo's here in spirit for this session -- the same way Kindar is here at the Resort only in spirit for eternity~!

The funniest scene was that time a Kirby character felt the need to explain a nickname next to their regular, unoriginal name as tho' people actually cared.

The funniest scene had to be from the cartoon. Remember that time they pretended the series wasn't going to focus on Kirby anymore, but rather two uninspired, squash-shaped whatzits that had absolutely no business being in the franchise, let alone the focus of it? Oh, that was a hilarious hundred episodes...

There is this thing called "school." Mayhaps you've heard? When it is out, a lot of people don't spend all day on their computers, which is actually school computers.

Conversely, you'll see a lot of new blokes drop by, who are those without constant or common internet access during the school year. They won't be so vocal, however, since they won't be permanent.

So, in reality, every website slows down during these months (or at least those with a primarily underage patronage). The rest of the apparent slow-down is from 1) Daimyo and Aru being absent from the gallery and 2) no junk updates being made on the main page. Seriously, old crew would be like "I made toast, KRR. It was burné. I eates it anyway."

2) I Bachelors of Science'd with real-life people all the time when I was in grad school. That's what you meant, right?

3) Has it not been well established yet that I am a real-life hobo?... with a Bachelors of Science degree? That's what makes me unique; most of us have Art degrees~!

4) Speaking of art degrees, here's why I don't have one:

5) Could own?

Yeah, we forget how long, too. Things are just so busy. Not here, of course, since Kirby totally got snubbed at E3 this year.

As far as the oekaki goes, I'd just continue taking the dregs scared away from the Coppermine Gallery. They're your problem now, sucker~!

Yet the letter you sent in relates to what you called "not a theme." A topic which incoming letters concern? That makes it a theme. You're just provin' my point right here. In fact, since most other attempts for themes usually get ignored, this makes it some sort of super theme.

I think somebody owes someone else an apology. And, um, money. Lots of it.

1) Um, blue. Why did everyone else object to this question so much?

2) Ew, that's disgusting!

2) Um, I reread your question, and I apologize. I got something wrong the first time.

3) Anchovies and extra-cheese, which absorbs the anchovies flavor to become some sort of, I dunno, double-anchovies?

4) I don't know who this May StarClan chick is supposed to be, but she isn't lighting my path.

1) USA Network is the best channel -- which could be because of Burn Notice alone. It has a heap of other shows that put it over the top, tho'.

3) I have never heard of that band.

6) Real art over digital or tracing, also known as manga. Zing!

1) Wondering why I bothered to include this letter. Oh, right, the blutty theme.

2) It'd be whose, not who's, which would be "who is You be." I'll get an English tutor who'll be commeing mover tto you later this week.

3) I assume to stay out of asylums. I find that most people prefer not to be in them.

4)2 -- oh, wait, I'm mixing up my nerd references.

S) Do you remember a time when people acted as tho' they had all the money in the world and everything was fine? Of course not -- it never happened, even during the times that are now considered booms. No matter how good or bad things are, idiots are still gonna mismanage and waste their money.

The moral of the story is: shut up and stop whining, you durn scene kids.

PS) Why is the reply to the theme an afterthought?

PPS) I'll send you your nickel. First, you need to send me a self-addressed envelope with stamp affixed. And after paying about a buck in combined postage, then you'll get your precious nickel.

0) Curses and crush us! I forgot that shiny nickels are worth $111.95 more than their non-shiny counterparts! Why did I make that promise?

1) Later.

2) Gobi, fo' sho'. Sorry, other Bagger Blokes, but I got to it first~!

3) Catapults involve much fewer explosions, but you'll live to hit the ground. A cannon may kill you upon being fired, depending on the design, before you hit the ground and definitely die. By my math, one death scenario is more than two. I'd still go with cannon, tho', for fun.

1) You guessed it~!

I completely forgot about that ass-butt! Actually, I was just retching over it the other day, but vaguely consider that to be writing.

I change my answer. Bonus points for idiots actually liking it.
