Stand By Me @ MindSay 
And continuing on from entry 32 - here is the scene from Stand By Me that inspired the section below from chapter 42 of Fire Of Glory.
I only realised today that I'm the one playing the FoG role of Lard Ass.
Tee hee... Oh well. :)
"Okay, you all know the rules. This is a NU-NH contest, no hands or forks allowed - 'kay?"
He took out a whistle. "Oh my mark..."
"Three... Two... One..." He blew it hard, and everyone set off.
SPLAT! LuigiGirl buried her face into the pie below her.
Everyone else did likewise, forgetting all possible table-manners, munching like pigs that’d just finished dieting.
Dixie was the first to finish hers first. "Done!" She called, and a Koopa threw another pie down onto the table in front of her.
"Done!" Andrew called, only seconds after Dixie.
"Done!" LuigiGirl called afterwards, as another pie was set in front of her.
A few moments later, everyone was onto their third pies, their faces covered with thick berry-filling.
"Good, huh?" Dixie asked, in-between mouthfuls.
"Nothin' better!" LuigiGirl exclaimed.
"Done!" Dixie announced, onto her fourth.
Andrew glared at her, plunging his face right into the centre of his pie, almost swallowing the whole contents of the dish in one go. "Done!"
"Done!" LuigiGirl called afterwards.
The contest ran steady for the next several minutes, Dixie leading with nine pies, Andrew on seven, LuigiGirl on six, Mack, Donovan, Edward and Zed on five.
"Take it easy Dixie!" Koopinator warned.
"Done!" LuigiGirl called. "He's right, take it easy, eh?" She said, before yet another pie was set in front of her.
Dixie ignored them both. "Done!" She yelled, before shoving her face into her tenth pie.
A few moments later, she began choking, coughing and spluttering loudly.
She grabbed her glass, and chugged the whole pint of 'water' down in one go.
LuigiGirl raised her head, glancing awkwardly at her partner. "Done!" She called. "Geez, we told ya to-"
Dixie stopped, bringing her head up.
"Oh..." She groaned, clutching her stomach. "Suddenly I... I don't feel so good..."
"Are you okay?" LuigiGirl asked, beginning to slightly panic.
Dixie slowly stood up from her chair, her stomach growling rabidly, like a wild dog.
Andrew pulled his head free from his ninth pie.
"Hey-hey, what's up? Has poor little Dixie got a tummy ache? Pah, you'll never make it as far as me!" He mocked.
"Keep eatin' those pies, Bandwidth! It was great to have you quiet for more than three seconds!" LuigiGirl growled.
"Pah." Andrew said again, sneering at Dixie. "She's a wuss, never will beat the almighty Bandwidth at eating contests!"
"Andrew..." Dixie coughed. "You better shut up... Or I'll-"
Dixie gasped, her eyes rolling backwards in fear.
She opened her mouth to finish her sentence - but a cascading waterfall of purple vomit erupted from her throat, tumbling from her mouth, and drenching Andrew in a purple sticky mess.
Dixie didn't stop, she continued breathing fire for around two minutes - by this time, Andrew had almost drowned in the purple sea, and the floor had somehow flooded too.
Dixie coughed hard, before closing her eyes, and tumbling backwards, landing with a hard thump on the floor.
As I mentioned in post 30 - I downloaded the film Stand By Me today, over Limewire.
Emily and I are working on a novel together, entitled "Fire Of Glory."
It's actually a slight work of fan fiction, and thus, the reason why we posted it on FFN.
You can find it right here.
Two scenes from this film inspired two scenes in Fire Of Glory. The events themselves are indeed familiar - but because it's only fan fiction, we have no need for charges being filed. :)
An event in chapter 91 is inspired by a song by The Click Five, Just The Girl.
An event in chapter 25 is inspired by an episode of Dexter's Labratory.
The whole of chapter 45, I got the idea from watching a clip from Balls Of Steel.
The video above inspired this scene from chapter 38:
Dixie stopped, a look of fear spread over her face.
"Err... LG... What's that?!" She gasped, pointing at her partner's neck.
"What's what?"
"Oh... Crap!" Dixie gasped. "Don't tell me..."
"What?"
Dixie tugged her right arm out of the murky water. Several black, slimy creatures were affixed to her skin.
Dixie screamed, wading furiously towards the bank.
"Leeches!" She yelped, attempting to pull them off.
LuigiGirl's jaw dropped. "First Piranhas, now these little buggers!?" She yelled. "We've gotta get some help!"
"No!" Dixie hissed, holding out her arm for LuigiGirl to grab onto.
"Quick, get out!" She whispered, attempting to tug the blood-sucking creatures from her arms.
LuigiGirl took her hand, being pulled violently out of the water. "Get 'em off!" She cried, in fear.
"Don't panic!" Dixie said, although she was indeed panicking herself. "They'll release their grip if you just relax your arm."
"Relax!?" LuigiGirl asked. "How can I RELAX!?"
"LG...!" Dixie hissed. "Stop yelling!"
"Sorry." LuigiGirl sighed, watching the black parasites squirm along her arm. "It feels disgusting."
"I know..." Dixie winced, tugging the final one from her wrist. Both girls were now covered with red bite marks, most of them bleeding.
Dixie currently feels:
Bored 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think I mentioned in a previous blog - but recently, my Bearshare decided to kill itself.
Ah, the great times I had with Bearshare.
The most I ever downloaded on it at once was 50 files.
Sometimes, when I start downloading, I can never stop.
I had a huge downloading fit at the start of January, and I ended up with my downloads folder filled with about 120 mp3s.
Although I don't end up liking all of it - I sometimes find some awesome things that I love.
I take bands I've heard of, or have heard songs before - and click the top rated stuff, so I know what I'm getting is decent.
Bearshare was never great for Nintendo soundtracks. It took me about 6 hours to find all 29 songs from Dancing Stage: Mario Mix.
Though, it was awesome for the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack.
Stupidly, I didn't download all of it, so I have about half of the soundtrack.
That's a game with a lot of music - the official soundtrack, apparently, is 4 discs.
The game itself is 3 discs, so.
Lmfao, that's a good suggested tag.
"downloading is fun"
Ah, the suggested tags never fail to amuse me. :)
Anyway, with a broken Bearshare - I needed a new downloading server.
On my old PC, I used WinMX - which sucked.
Then I got eDonkey - which got me a ton of viruses.
I got my new PC, and Adam suggested Bearshare - which I grew to love.
Though, I am NOT going to download Bearshare 6.
It's just a server where pedophiles trade porn videos with each other.
And yes - Bearshare WAS good for porn - they downloaded really fast, and I got a lot of results.
Though, I'm over that habit now. :)
So, I thought I'd take a leaf out of Emily's book and get Limewire.
A lot of files I got on Bearshare were taken from Limewire users, anyway.
So, after waiting several hours for it to install, a few days ago - I tried my first search.
Rammstein. :)
And, it actually found a lot of results that Bearshare didn't.
Today, I've taken the downloading fit to a new level.
The fastest download on Bearshare for me was 13 seconds.
Limewire is considerably slower - but multiple downloads go faster than they did on Bearshare.
Anyway.
My downloads folder now contains...
From starting totally empty...
It now contains:
457 files.
Yep. Tons.
I've downloaded the whole 127 track Paper Mario: TTYD soundtrack, along with the whole Hyrule Symphony album, tons of tracks from Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker...
Then I started downloading new tracks from bands I know of - then I downloaded all the new songs that are available to download for Guitar Hero 3 - so I can see what they sound like first...
(I added those to my Guitar Hero III soundtrack folder...)
THEN, I downloaded Stand By Me - great film, which has provided inspiration for mine and Emily's duo novel, Fire of Glory; notably, chapter 41 and 38.
Then, I downloaded some episodes of Super Mario Bros. Super Show - which I have a few volumes on DVD, but, when I get my iPod, I'd like to put some episodes on there.
THEN, I downloaded about 7 episodes of Little Britain - for the same reason as posted above.
I still have the whole Guitar Hero 2 soundtrack to get, bar a few songs - and the rest of the Guitar Hero: Rocks The 80's soundtrack to download too.
I got some music videos that I like - mainly Rammstein and Slipknot.
I also re-kindled my love of Eminem, downloaded a few of his tracks, and the Without Me video.
Damn, it's so funny. :)
I'm going to start listening to the new songs shortly, after I've got all the details sorted.
I can't stand mis-named files.
All my files have to be named properly - with all the details entered right.
I can't stand it when band names are spelt in lowercase, and the albums are entered wrongly with wrong dates, and all the rest - so I sort all that out.
(Which will also help organising my iPod, WHEN I GET ONE...)
Oh, and I hate it when people wrongly classify the genre of Rammstein as rock.
THEY'RE NOT ROCK!
They're TANZ-METALL!
Industrial Metal, if you so prefer, but, damnnnnn, they're not rock.
Two songs I've already listened to that I love, are Absolute, by Thousand Foot Krutch - though I can't stand the bit at the beginning where it sounds like a CD jumping...
And Sprite, by Freezepop.
It's so jumpy and happy, and the lyrics make me smile. :)
What makes a melonball bounce?
A melonball bounce?
A melonball bounce?
What makes a melonball bounce?
The ice tart taste of Sprite!
...What IS a melonball bounce?
Is it a cocktail, or?
Ah, Freezepop are weird anyway. :P
party was awesome. i'm so tired.
exes&ohs.
