Mr. Maul

For some reason, I decided to login for the first time in seven years. It only took me two days to remember my password. I've been a member of this site for eighteen years, and this is the first time I've ever been on here as the sole active user. It's a sad, wild trip.

[color="#696969"][size="1"][font="Verdana"]Here is just part of my collection: [img]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/mrmaul/Dolls1.png[/img] I'm embarrassed to post pictures of the rest of my dolls because they don't have any hats. I make all of my dolls' hats and outfits myself (by hand), and I'm really proud of my craftsmanship. Detail: [img]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/mrmaul/Dolls2.png[/img] My pride and joy: [img]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/mrmaul/Dolls3.png[/img] Picked that one up in a little shop during my visit to Sendai last year. The detail was too exquisite to pass it up. I am very eager to see your collection, as well. [/font][/size][/color]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]Thanks for the intangible award. I shall place it on my intangible mantel shelf next to my intangible Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in a Historical Comedy. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]Merely illustrating how this thread is based on the assumption that any god that isn't the Christian God is "wacky," and not necessarily stating my personal beliefs. Shattering ethnocentrism one post at a time. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]I've heard about this one god who lives in the sky, or space, or another dimension or something. He is not just one god, but also His own Son and Spirit together as one (He's also a "He," by the way, and definitely not a She, or an It. That'd just be ludicrous). He enjoyed killing tons of people back in the good ol' days in various creative ways (fires, floods, pillars of salt, plagues of all flavors, mysterious forces of a mysterious nature), but he really isn't into that kind of thing anymore. Mainly, He just has His followers kill each other in His name these days. He can read the minds of believers and non-believers alike, and He is everywhere at all times. If you don't believe in Him, He (in His benevolent wisdom) casts you into a fiery pit of torture and torment for all eternity, despite the fact that He hides Himself from all, and requires the people He created as logical and thinking beings to throw all that away and utilize a funny little thing called "faith." Also, His creations do absolutely everything in their power to destroy absolutely everything He created. Silly, right? [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]There's a simple cure for combating the nostalgia blues: Marijuana. It will make any childhood favorite just as good as you remembered it, if not better. You will think, feel, and perceive exactly as you did when you watched it as a child, guaranteed. That being said, [B]Mary Poppins[/B] is an incredibly bizarre, yet excellent movie.

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]I generally only ever listen to Pandora when I'm writing, cleaning, or doing some other task that requires background music. I wouldn't ever pay for Pandora because they give you 40 free hours of music per month, which is a ton. That, and I ain't no stinkin' sellout.

A marvelous mustache. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]To me, sophistication in comedy is a complex thing. It doesn't come from the content being smart, rather, the "delivery" of it (not the delivery of the individual jokes, but of the show as a whole). A comedy can be incredibly smart and witty with a constant stream of jokes one after the other, highly-developed characters, over/under/what/ever-arcing storylines, yet not funny at all due to poor delivery (90% of all comedies). However, a comedy can contain dialogue and situations that, individually, are ordinary, unfunny, and completely nonsensical, with no discernible plot or story continuity, yet when combined, they become downright hysterical.
