CyberWoLfman's Original ActiveWorlds Expressions
Since there seems to be a bit of confusion as to who originally said some of the expressions heard in ActiveWorlds, I'm going to put the ones that I know I started on this page. Some of the text may not look right to you, or show up as a question mark. Special notes are in other colors.
This one I actually saw someone named STARMAN use in a brief visit (at 8:00 p.m. (central time zone in the US) Saturday, March 9th, 2002) to the OuterWorlds universe. They claimed they got it from someone else, so what I think happened was that they just copied it and pasted it into a text file to use later because the part "F®ðm Ç¥ßê®WðLFmåñ, Tð åÇTìVêwð®|Ч" was missing and in the place of that was "ðñê åñÐ å||," with three spaces right after the word "å||," and before the word "¥ðü", like a little kid had edited it not realizing their mistake. Even after I pasted in my original expression, they still insisted that I wasn't the one who came up with it. LOL I wonder, do they always assume that just because someone quotes someone else, that they're the originator of the expression? If so, then what about all those who quote from the bible? Wonder how gullible some of these people are, anyway? Of course, many people have seen me use this since August 6th, 2000. When I originally came up with it, I did have "Wê|Çðmê ðñê åñÐ å||" in it, but then I personalized it because it was being copied and pasted: Wê|Çðmê, F®ðm Ç¥ßê®WðLFmåñ, Tð åÇTìVêwð®|Ч, å ³Ð ÇhåT üñîVꮧê. :-) ¥ðü wì|| qüìÇk|¥ ®êå|ìZê ThåT Thì§ þ|åÇê ì§ å|mð§T |îkê å mðÐê®ñ-Ðå¥ FåñT姥 wð®|Ð ThåT hå§ Çðmê Tð |ìFê ßêFð®ê ¥ðü® ê¥ê§. ßê w宥, Thðügh, Fð® Thì§ þ|åÇê ì§ åÐÐìÇTìVê!
Want to create your very own (and original) expressions in goofy looking letters and symbols like the one above? It's easy! :-) If you're a Windows user, click on the Start button, go to Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, and click on Character Map. Since ActiveWorlds uses Arial font, you should then select Arial from the drop - down menu. Then you open up WordPad (it should be under Start button, Programs, Accessories). Go back to the Character Map program, and pick out symbols and letters that you would want to use instead of regular letters of the alphabet. You click on each one, and click on the Select button if you like it, and it shows up in the 'Characters to copy' field. After you've picked out your new alphabet, just right - click in the field with your mouse, select 'Select All', then 'Copy', and then go back to your WordPad program and paste it in. When you want to write an expression, just copy each letter you need from that alphabet to make it. You can make a bunch up at a time, then save the file someplace where you can easily find it again later during a chat so you can copy and paste it into the chat for kicks. And now you know how to do it yourself. Cool, huh? :-)
How am I? I'm functioning within normal parameters. Thanks for caring enough about me to inquire about my well-being. I'm truly touched. :-) Or at least that's what they tell me... ;-)
"What's up?" That's an EASY one! Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, and carbon! Since most of Earth's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, the six elements that're lighter than it must be 'up', right? ;-)
This one I came up with when I was a GK and pasted it in at the end of my shift, then typed in the name of the person who was coming on after me, and I had to put it into two different messages. So what I did was paste one in, then copy the second one, hit the Enter key, and quickly pasted in the second one and typed in the person's name at the end: Well everyone, my time with you has come to an end, so I must now leave you. But while parting may be such sweet sorrow (*tries to hold back the tears*), you should feel comforted by the fact that I'm leaving you in the capable hands of
your next GateKeeper, or GK! Please, put your hands, paws, tendrils, or what have you together and give a warm welcome to
Made this one up when I got a little tired of the grade school kids (or those who never matured past the grade school level) calling other people names: I've always noticed that people who call other people names usually fear that people say that very same thing about them behind their backs, and they fear it's true. LOL
This one I created when I got tired of people always asking me how old I am: How old am I? Younger than the stars that burn in the night sky, casting their luminescence down upon the Earth from above, yet older than the morning's dew on the grass, glistening in the sun's gentle light. ;-)
The following expressions in yellow I made up while I was playing AWBingo, and I needed something to do to pass the time while waiting for the bingo bot to call off the numbers. And FYI, I gave permission to people like dreamer2 to use the following up to the '#2 pencil' one in AWBingo to help ward off boredom:
§«¤ºº*ºº¤»§ wå¥ Tð gð! Fð®Tüñê §mì|ê§ üþðñ ¥ðü! §«¤ºº*ºº¤»§
§«¤ºº*ºº¤»§ (-: GððÐ |üÇk êVꮥðñê! :-) §«¤ºº*ºº¤»§
`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸ (-: må¥ gððÐ ?ð®Tüñê §mì|ê üþðñ ü§! :-) ,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`
Translation (if needed): May good fortune smile upon us!
* * * ßêgìñ§ Çhåñ?ìñg ìñ ?hê hðþê§ ð? Çðñjü®ìñg üþ å hê|þ?ü| ßìñgð §þì®ì? * * *
`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸ (-: hðþê ?hê ßìñgð gðЧ å®ê ìñ å gððÐ mððÐ! :-) ,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`
* * * holds a #2 pencil over his head and twirls it counter-clockwise while chanting "there is no god but Finagle and Murphy (as in: 'if anything CAN go wrong, it WILL go wrong') is his prophet" then hangs the horseshoe with the points up so the luck
doesn't run out, strokes his lucky rabbit's foot (even though it wasn't very lucky for the rabbit who had four), and places his feet in a big bucket of four - leafed clover * * *
Note: Parts of the following expression like "Sino-Logic" and "Thompson eye phones" I borrowed from the movie 'Johnny Mnemonic'. At least I try to be honest about my sources! A pity that so few others can... The rest I just grabbed from my imagination. Guess reading all that sci-fi helped a little, eh? ;-) * * * Picks open the door that says in big bold letters "Forbidden Tech Area: Any Unauthorized Personnel Accessing This Area Will Be Punished By Severe Disciplinary Action Up To And Including A Full Mind Wipe (Dependending Upon The Commander's Current Mood At The Time Of The Aforementioned Infraction)!" jimmies open a cabinet that ordinarily requires a retinal and voice pattern match as well as a certain code typed into the main console within 15 seconds of a person entering the room (he earlier rendered it useless with some nanobots specially coded for the task) then grabs a Sino-Logic 16, Sogo-7 data-gloves, a GPL stealth module, a Burdine intelligent translator and some Thompson eye phones. After running 2,056 tests for possible interface problems, he jacks in and feels the data flow over his silicon implants and neural overlays and uses the memory augmentation wetwired into his brain to see if he can somehow figure out how to win at bingo. At this point the system freezes up, and he's presented with a Windows 3.1 style of error box, planted smack in the middle of his field of vision, and nothing he does can get rid of it. LOL * * *
My 'poofing' message. Don't use it very often, though, especially since it's a two - parter: *A portal appears magically in the air beside him, and within it can be seen a fog en-shrouded forest bordering a small lake. Howls can be heard in the distance, echoing off the face of a nearby mountain cliff. He sees the moon reflecting in the
calm waters of the lake as he turns his head. He smiles, and wanders in, happy to have returned home once again.*
