"I'm confused..."
|
Okay, a lot of the times I can get the references in EPU material. In some of the fics, I pick up on a few more each succesive time I read them. But there is one in-joke I just do not get. It's in part 3, at the time Zoner, Gryph and Meg are leaving the Chinese restuarant... -*-*-*-*- "It was lovely meeting you, too, and I'm glad you're feeling much better," I said. "You're still very pale, though. You need more sun." "You're silly," she said. "I don't even play the cello. Bye!" -*-*-*-*- I tend to pick up the references in these stories right away, or a little bit later down the road. But I have read and re-read this part of WL, and I only have one thing to say: I don't get the kerfucking joke! Would someone be kind enough to explain it to me so I don't feel so left in the dark anymore? Reverend Hammer Who doesn't get the whole *SHATTER!* thing either |

Originally, >it was delivered in a scene that involved a cellist. I had the chance to go to NYC for the first time last summer. The last night I was there, we went to one of those restraunts where you can sit out on the sidewalk, and the entire time we were sitting there, all I could think of was that we were sitting across the street from that fountain where that scene takes place. (Is that the Lincoln Center? I can never keep names straight.) Yes we walked over there after, and yes, I did the little forward-skip thing Venkman does at the beginning of that scene like the big goofball that I am. There were, unfortunately, no roller skaters to pirouette with. :) --------------------------- "I think we used too much." --------------------------- Chad Collier Digital Bitch J.

>Reverend Hammer >Who doesn't get the whole *SHATTER!* thing either Ever read something or hear something or see something that made you just fall the hell down and collapse laughing so hard your friends start looking around nervously for either escape routes or oxygen? That's the whole *SHATTER!* thing. As least as I know it. For great stories of one man's ability to break like few others, I suggest reading up on the late and blessed Derek Bacon. (Who I remember meeting in passing when he looked at me and said, "Oh, I don't know you. Hi anyway." Then he gave this very odd little wave and kept going wherever he was going.) -- Geoff Depew - Mephron "I think I sprained my anterior lobe just thinking about it." |
