Alright. Since when paranormality merchandicable? All of asudden I've been seen
er seeing the paranormal stuff that I've been interested in for years become a 
fad. A few years ago if you were to start talking about this sort of thing you'
d just get looked at funny. Now it's compareable to alternative music! What's  
going on?

87 responses total.

Alternative music:  music listened to by people who hate mainstream commercial
music just like every single other person they know...

Slowly but surely the para-fad has been growing.  I suppose the most obvious
finger to point would  be in the face of FOX with shows like Encounters: The
Hidden Truth and The X-Files alnog with specials like that Roswell Autopsy
thing.  NBC has been on the andwagon for a while now too with Sightings and
their series of specials Ancient Prophecies.  You could go with the theroy
that the  public eats what they are fed on TV or even make a play for "end
of the millennium" hysteria.  If you ask me, the rising population along with
the web/net has made is possible for  heaps of people to access whatever
little bug might be in their ear at the time.  Aint teknolidgie grate!

Personally, I think the upcoming millenia may have more to do with it that
you think

I suppose you can't say this is all bad, there have been some good para-fad
shows on lately. The only problem is that they never last very long. The latest
one I've been watching is Kindred: the Embraced, it's a neet one about
vampires,  very love-sick avenging cop meets X-files meets Melrose Place.

does the colon in the name imply a connexion w/white wolf?

No, actualy the lgo looks more like this:
Kindred
    ~
The Embraced
(or something to that effect)

ahh....as it turns out, tho, there is a onnexion w/world o' darkneww...or so
says a long time vampire-player and kindred-watcher

?

Oh, and I thought I had just missed something...

<kain is very CONFUSED because he knows nothing about white wolf>

White wolf has a thing with semicolons

Colons, rather
As,     "kumquats: the irrelevancy"

or as of awhile ago, The Zone: the dead confrence
THIS IS PATHETIC, I haven't read this in a while and we haven't gotten many
responses.  fws, go advertise.  there is an x-files RAGE going on, with a
little advertisement we should be able to get a decent number of people.
That's what fws do.  That is why they exist.  <Kain is willing to fw if more
are nedded>

<orinoco, after checking, realizes that he is an fw, and goes off to
advertize>

<kain says "whops">

<eldrich proceeds to wipe up kain's speelling glop>

What is so irrelevant about kumquats> :)

kumquats, where?

Any kumquat that is relevent is not really a kumquat.

kumquats are always irrelevant.  That's just how it works.

What if you were walking down the street in downtown Toronto and a tall man
in a blue suit and a skinny yellow tie ran past you and crashed in to the
shopping cart of some poor unfortunate street dweller and all the contents
went flying all over the side walk and as you are helping the poor unfortunate
pick up their belongings the man in the blue suit turned to you and asks "Have
you any kumquats?"  it would be relevant then wouldn't it?

no

You see blue goes nicely with yellow, and the street vender spoke french
instead of english and so tyou see the lack of erelevence! Simple, no?

<sigh>
<topic?  oh topic?  where are you?>

Heh.

<kain chants "topic 48 where are you?" <close enuff>>

<llan fades away>

worth...
