request a fiver

[Nate the Great]

Yeah, shame on me. I just bought Captain's Holiday a few weeks ago and thought I'd toss in a reference.

As for the glory days of fiving--
"Spirits were brave. The stakes were high. Men were real men, women were real women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were REAL small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. They all dared to face unknown terrors, to do mighty deeds, to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before, and thus was the Empire forged."

Sorry, random humor there. One of my trademarks.

The old days of short fivers were great, but we all knew there was something better. You remind me of Jim Wright joking that his Season One and Two reviews are too long, when they were barely a couple pages.

Your own worst critic is always yourself. I think we all have one or two fivers from the early days we're less than proud of. *coughTheMusecough*

Onaya: Just scrawl down any old rubbish that comes to mind.
Jake: It's like writing a fiver.

Okay, it's not the best fiver ever, but it's not the worst, either. The quote above is one of my favorites, and any fiver with wit that good can't be rubbish.

Flatterer.

Honestly, I'm the inverse. I think all my current fivers are crap and all my old ones are inspired.

Heh. I was going to call Rockman.exe (Mega Man NT Warrior) on the grounds that Zeke doesn't watch anime, but I realized something: I'm too damn lazy. It'd never even get started.
I was also going to do other stuff, but I forget what it was.
...What was I saying?

Who says? I just don't watch a lot of anime. I like DBZ, for example, but I prefer the manga to the anime because the latter takes so damn long. I recently watched the entire run of Fate/Stay Night and I loved it to pieces. (Have you seen it?)

[MaverickZer0]

No, I haven't. (I've heard of it...but never seen it. There's precious little I can do to get new anime around here.)
...Let me revise that. 'On the grounds that Zeke doesn't watch MegaMan NT Warrior'. Better?

[Nate the Great]

You know, it suddenly occured to me, Trigun is sort of sci-fi, right? Okay, it's a western/steampunk anime, but close enough for government work, right? Would anyone else like fivers of that? My friend loaned me his DVD set, and that would be totally cool. Anyone else think that'd be nice? I think I could do justice to it.

'Fraid not! I watch it when I get the chance. I don't like some of the changes made for the show, especially Cross Fusion, but it's cool just seeing the game characters on TV.

Anyway, I'm not so iron-fisted as to keep for myself any show I might ever consider fiving. If you want to try an NT Warrior fiver, I'm all for it. Just don't do the pilot. (And I will be doing the games, so I'm afraid no one's getting those off me.)

All my fivers are perfect. I'm perfect. And damn good looking into the bargain.
