« Attention WWDN Shoppers | Main | Longview » February 19, 2002Comments From The WifeI'm going to start by saying that I am so lame when it comes to computers. I don't even know how to turn one on. In fact, I'm pretty bad with any electronics. When the daylight savings time happens, the clock in my car is off by an hour for six months. Before meeting Wil, my VCR was always flashing 12:00. Pretty lame huh? My friends tease me for having a husband who can build his own website, yet I have to ask what a BLOG is. You get the picture. So when Wil told me that he put on his website (he has to read me his entries and prints out responses for me to look at) that he wanted to do something cool for me for putting up with all the time and energy (and MANY profane words) he has put into building and maintaining his site, by doing sort of a "donation box" for a gift for me, I was so touched by this. So touched, in fact, that I had Wil set up this whole little deal here so all I had to do was type what I want to say. And boy, do I have a lot to say. I'm so excited. I feel like I finally have communication with this whole world that I only hear about! I know, you're probably thinking, "what the hell is wrong with this girl? Does she live in some sort of cave?! Well, as a matter of fact, yes. I live in an Atari 2600 world. Simple, yes. Advanced? No. But that's ok. I have a husband who can look things up for me if I really need to. But it is pretty cool to finally have a chance to have my thoughts about all this heard. So first things first. (Oh and by the way, I still play my Atari. what the hell is this Playstation thing anyway?) First of all, I was totally surprised when I came home from work today and Wil told me about his "donation box" story. Surprised mostly because I have friends who read his entries everyday, and didn't tell me he was doing this. But also that there were enough donations that he was able to get me a gift certificate for a yummy day at a spa. Mmm... massage.... oh sorry, where was I? Anyway, these past few months have been very difficult, but at the same time very rewarding for Wil, as he was able to get his site going. You know, I think it has been for me too. Wil would stay up FOREVER working on this, which meant me going to sleep by myself, and work on it every free moment he had. So it's nice to see Wil so happy with all his hard work paying off for him. He feels like people get to see what he's really like, instead of what some "I hate Wesley" fan guy has to say. And just in case you were wondering, I had never seen Star Trek until they started running that marathon on TNN or TNT whichever one it is. Wil watched that thing practically the whole time it was on. He kept saying, " Oh, this is my FAVORITE episode." ok seriously, he said that like 20 times. But it was kinda funny that he really likes that stuff. Even when he's in it. So once in a while he'd say, "look honey! There I am! Man does that suit look stupid. Oh man, look at my lame hair!" But he's all into science fiction stuff, so that must have been pretty cool to be part of something you like so much. Anyway, his website means so much to him and I think that it's so awesome that people have responded so well to it. Of course, he tells me about the occasional lame ass that has to throw in his negative two cents now and then. But I guess that's the beauty of this on-line world. You don't have to say your shit directly to the person's face. But I guess you do what makes you happy. I think that Wil tries to not take that crap seriously. Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt any less. I never thought that all his time spent on this entitled me to any sort of gift. I have the gift of a happy husband. (I know... gag) Nevertheless, I am extremely touched by your generosity, and I'll be thinking of you all while I'm having my spa day. Thanks! On to the next subject. The most recent entry of Wil's (at least the one he read to me yesterday, and printed out all the responses for me to read) The 7 things you are thankful for today. My list is for today and everyday since I am a dork with this computer and probably won't get a chance to do this for another six months 1. My husband- his unconditional love for me and for Ryan and Nolan (my men) 2. My aforementioned men (Ryan and Nolan)-the way Ryan laughs so hard he can't sit up (just like I do) 3. My friends- the handful of close ones I have had for years 4. My job- that I'm actually doing something I enjoy-something I chose for a career 5. My health and my family's health- I know that that seems like a typical one, but we have had a lot of death around us recently, so I am truly thankful that we are all well. 6. Chocolate- need I say more? 7. The Simpson's- now you're probably thinking "what? does she mean OJ?" No. Definitely no. As in Homer. You see, that show is probably the one thing that makes Wil laugh harder than anything. It's funny. He laughs so hard he puts his hand in front of his face, but you can still see that the tip of his tongue curls up. Isn't that weird? I wonder why that happens. Probably the same explanation as me not being able to sit up straight when I laugh really hard. Just one of those things. Anyway, hours of entertainment, that's all. And the happiness it brings my husband.
I think this whole computer thing isn't so bad after all! Of course, it's taken me an hour to type all this. No seriously, it has. I think my 10 year old could type faster than I could. I guess I should finish now. I think I'll go kick Wil's ass in some Air-Sea Battle- guided missiles of course. He hates that he can never beat me. Then again, I am 3 years older than him. That gives me 3 more years practice. Whatever the case, he's still getting his ass kicked by a GIRL! Thanks again for the awesome gift! And please, tell Wil to wear his glasses (they totally look like the ones Corey Feldman wore in Stand By Me... I think he jacked them) while he's on the computer. He looks cross-eyed when he's on this thing for too long (which is everyday) See ya! Anne P.S. Did Wil ever finish telling you about the Vegas trip back in September? I think that was how all this got started and he mentioned a while ago that he hadn't finished it yet. So let me sum it up for you.... his sketch comedy show was awesome, William fucking Shatner still doesn't speak to Wil (but I guess he has since then...Weakest Link thing)....we... I should say I, lost my ass at roulette(is that how you spell that?) and our second-hand smoke filled 5 day extravaganza was finished off by my laryngitis, and upper respiratory infection due to all the damn smoke -illness. God I hate Vegas. I can't wait to go back. Later! Comments
Gorsh. Tanks for puttin' up with us, Mrs. Wil. /sweathogs Posted by: Rob Matsushita at February 19, 2002 08:31 PMI've been eager to hear from Anne, as Wil has talked about her so much. She sounds like a great person. Peace to you & yours. =) JR Posted by: Jon Rosen at February 19, 2002 08:31 PMWhich reminds me, I'd probably better get back to my wife. Seriously, though, thanks for the neat note to us. Hope to see another one in 6 months! ;) Posted by: Rob Matsushita at February 19, 2002 08:33 PMAnne, do you like cheese? Mmmmmmmmmm.....cheese.... Forbidden cheese.... You know Wisconsin is near Chicago, right? ;-) Posted by: Roughy at February 19, 2002 08:40 PMHey Anne, It's nice of you to confirm for us that our Uncle Willy has really found for himself such a great lady and that you obviously are just as crazy about him as he is about you. SOOOO nice to finally meet you! My husband and I have been a fan of Wil's since 1987 and have never hated him. It sounds like you have got most of your life together and are concentrating on the important stuff--people, not things, and family first. Many good wishes for the future and if you're ever down our way in PA, you're all more than welcome to crash--we have plenty of room and lots of crazy kids. Warren and Karen Posted by: kazfeist at February 19, 2002 08:44 PMMrs.Wheaton, Although I didn't contribute to it because I first noticed WWDN after all that I'm glad you like it and Happy Belated Valentines Day YOU DIDN'T WATCH STAR TREK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, I didn't know Wil on Star Trek as Wes was the same personas that kid on Stand By Me until very recently. Go Figure. Welcome To WWDN... Jason Posted by: FutureWonder at February 19, 2002 08:47 PMTypos..geesh Posted by: FutureWonder at February 19, 2002 08:48 PMA family of smartasses! I love it. So much niceness round here :) Posted by: Grendel at February 19, 2002 08:56 PMok wil. time for a He-Said/She-Said section of the website. I dares ya. This is weird...I get to comment on a post at my website, and I didn't write it. Weird. Anne wrote this while I was with Ryan at the book store. I was picking up "Stupid White Men" and a collection of Shakespeare, adapted for children (good bedtime stories, you know), while she wrote it. It really did take her over an hour, and she was so proud of herself when I got home, she dragged me right over to the computer, and read the whole thing to me. I think it RAWKS, and I'm not just saying that because she's my wife, and I am deleriously in love with her. Well, maybe that's a big part of it...but if you could have seen how happy she was, and how proud of her writing she was...it was awesome. I really am a little embarrassed by all the things she said about me...but it's nice to know when you're loved...especially by the person you love the most. Ryan saw how proud she was, and he said, "Mom! You should make your own website! You can call it www.wilwheatonswife.net!" I can see it now...Anne and me fighting over who gets to sit at the damn computer... Har. Posted by: wil at February 19, 2002 09:06 PMBy the WWDN drinking game rules, that last comment just kicked my ass. Posted by: Rob Matsushita at February 19, 2002 09:10 PMAnne, Dude!! I mean...erm... uhh... oh damn... Ok... Mrs. Wil!! You rule! Seriously! And you have shown, Wil's humble readers *snicker, snicker* (now i want a snickers bar... damn the luck!)... anyway, you have shown Wil's reader's that you are just as classy as he's said, and more. You've got some great kids... If I were a mother, I might be jealous... but since I'm not, I'm not. lol The way Wil always talked you up, I really was beginning to believe that you were just a figment of his imagination. I mean, no one person could be THAT cool! It's good to see that you really do exist and that Wil is not living off in la-la land. Thanks for taking the time to write, Anne! It was great to hear from you, and I hope we get to hear more of your well-written, smart-ass comments in the future! ;) Posted by: zootnarf at February 19, 2002 09:15 PMDamn.. sorry struggling to sit up straight. This is soo sincere it hurts... I want that kind of happiness. Reading that was like looking at a painting by Monet. A glimpse of something good and beautiful. My cynical self is crawling into a dark corner and weeping now.. shucks. Thanks Anne- you made my night. Posted by: MissKittyFantastico at February 19, 2002 09:17 PMlove is a gift, people are treasures. missy Posted by: missy at February 19, 2002 09:19 PMYay for Wil's wife! Huzzah! And whatever you do, don't read Jun's "What did he say" thread in the adult area of the soap box... Posted by: Kakaze at February 19, 2002 09:25 PM*Grins* Too cool. Great to hear from the wonderful woman behind the great guy! And I just want to say that Frogger was my favourite Atari game. I still have that game system somewhere.:) No harm in apreciating good stuff. I have a record player as well as cds and cassettes. Anyways, I just want to say I am working on some cool ideas for drawings for Wil. If there is any artwork requests from Mrs. Wheaton... I gladly donate my services freely. :D Posted by: Artisticspirit at February 19, 2002 09:27 PMI've just started visiting this site. Enjoy your day at the spa. Posted by: Rosie at February 19, 2002 09:32 PMquote by Annel; "lost my ass at roulette(is that how you spell that?)" Yup, sure is! Ass is spelled A-s-s. We still need to hear the rest of the Vegas story. Rumor has it there are more pictures too! --Keith Posted by: Keith in Montana at February 19, 2002 09:33 PM"Thanks Anne- you made my night." Posted by: MissKittyFantastico on February 19, 2002 09:17 PM Hey Anne... Wanna make my night? Woot! Woot!! ;-) Posted by: Roughy at February 19, 2002 09:36 PMANNE, sorry about the typo. It really is great to hear from you. --Keith Posted by: Keith in Montana at February 19, 2002 09:39 PM**drops an anvil with young elvis painted on the side of it on Roughy and then drops a 500 lbs Wheel of Cheese on top- yaknows... just for dramatic effort** Did that do it for ya? ^_~ Posted by: MissKittyFantastico at February 19, 2002 09:40 PMWow, this is great. Now Anne has a posse, too! w00t! I hope you enjoy your day at the spa, Anne. We didn't know what to expect in terms of your reaction to our gift, but glad to see that it was well received. I think we know that most women gladly accept a massage, pedicure, facial... mmm... A friend at work was telling me about her experience at a day spa the other week. I've never been to one, myself. Anyhoo, she was telling me about how she wanted to keep her panties on for the massage, and the masseur said it was alright to. To quote him, "Don't you worry. I'm a professional." HAHAHAHAHA... professional WHAT?! Anyhoo, welcome to the Wonderful World of WWDN, Anne. And Wil, wear your glasses, dammit. Women think men in glasses are sexy. Posted by: Courtney at February 19, 2002 09:46 PMOkay, my story didn't sound so funny typed out. Meh. umm... Cheese! Posted by: Courtney at February 19, 2002 09:50 PMWil's married? Posted by: Oracle at February 19, 2002 09:51 PMCan I add a #8 to my 7 things I'm thankful for list from yesterday? If so, Anne, thank you for sharing your husband with the world. Posted by: Nevaeh at February 19, 2002 09:52 PMHey Anne, great to hear from you, hope you enjoy the spa! And kick your hubby's butt into gear about getting a PO BOX please :) Wil said "I can see it now...Anne and me fighting over who gets to sit at the damn computer... Har." Hmmm.......welcome to my life :) This'd be why notebooks were invented. And network cables. Luckily. YES! ANNE KICKS ASS!! I hope you write more often on here. I want to know if i could be the first (ok maybe 4th 'cause of wil and the boys) member of the anne kicks ass posse, can i can i PLEEASSE? I knew you kicked ass from getting to sit and talk with you for a few at the day care (mrs. Whitley still calls wil "our superstar" and tells the story fondly) BUT when you pointed out my ring and it turns out our rings came from the same place, WAHOOO, good times, good times. anyways, anne, rock on! Posted by: pirate susie at February 19, 2002 09:54 PM"Unlucky at roulette, lucky at love.", to paraphrase a card playing superstition. "If you will carry the little finger of a person on you, it will give you luck at playing cards, or anything you play." "If you want to win at cards, take the heart out of a bat and tie a red string around it, then tie that around your right arm." "Cut hair from a woman's ear and put this hair in the palm of your hand, hold it there by a rubber band while playing cards, and you will be lucky." Switch to blackjack. You'll OWN Vegas. Posted by: Fred Fowler at February 19, 2002 09:56 PMAnne! Your entry was terrific, and a neat surprise when I checked the site today. I am utterly jealous of your day at the spa (although in a nice, non-threatening way)...are you going to do exotic activities like have a mudbath and be wrapped in seaweed? The massage sounds like a safe bet, at the very least. :) Enjoy, and I'm glad you and your husband had a wonderful Valentine's celebration! (By the way: in the comment to your entry, said husband wrote that he is "deleriously in love" with you...oh gosh!...*that* is incredibly romantic -- I'm all swoon-esque, and he didn't even say it to *me*! Dreamy siiigh.) (Another by the way: my thoughts on guys wearing glasses? A+.) Posted by: Lisa J. at February 19, 2002 10:00 PMWil's straight? Has this alleged marriage been consumated? Posted by: Roughy at February 19, 2002 10:01 PMGrrr...I now feel bad for poking fun at Wil. I wish my wife would Blog. She only comments like...once. Wil's lucky and I'm just jealous. And that damn Fowler's just too damned intelligent for anyone's good and that's just a bunch of bullshit Smarty McSmartyson talk when he's yammering away... Posted by: Roughy at February 19, 2002 10:03 PMWil, WEAR YOUR GLASSES! (us girls gotta stick together, you know. ;) ) I just have to say this is seriously cool. Wil, you have the neatest nuclear family there. Anne seems great and really laid back (she did say shit in her post, after all) and Nolan and Ryan seem like a couple of fun loving kids instead of a couple of punks. Grats, man. Someday, maybe I'll be lucky enough to find the right guy. ;) Posted by: Lady Raven at February 19, 2002 10:28 PMHi Anne, Welcome to the wonderful crazy world of computer geeks, haha. I am happy to hear that you are going to enjoy your day at the spa. Well deserved for putting up with us. You found yourself a great guy. Take Care! ..............Major Mojo from the Posse!!!!!!!!! Posted by: Marie at February 19, 2002 10:37 PMWil! When do I get my own Blog account?!?!? Come on man! You can just email me my password ok? Ok. Yup. P.S. Remember Stunt-Cycle Atari? I have one of those laying around here someplace. You wife rocks! Posted by: Brady at February 19, 2002 10:46 PMOne of these days, I'll be in the first 10 of the posters, I swear I will... Or at least the first 30 ;) Anne is super-cool... but y'all know that. And the Simpsons rocks. Lisa is undervalued, just like random intellect (tee-hee). Posted by: Just_Your_Imagination at February 19, 2002 11:08 PM Hi,Anne Hello Anne, Anne, Thanks very much for your thoughtful and heart-felt response. By his his good nature and kind heart, Wil has managed to engage people in a lot of positive interaction...something we can all use after the recent months. I'm glad all the work Wil put into the web site has spilled over so positively in your family life. You all sound like a fun bunch. Take care and post again soon! Posted by: Rob at February 19, 2002 11:33 PM Da rockin wife... Hi Anne! :) How cool to finally hear from you. :) I really enjoy all the family stories. :) All the wisdom and little creeds to take along for the day. Thanks Wil. My online fees have tripled since you put your damn site up. Anne, Hi, Anne! Nice to finally "meet" you. You write as entertainingly as your husband (put on your glasses, Wil.) Now we just need to hear from Nolan and Ryan... Posted by: tammy at February 20, 2002 12:03 AMMy first ever post, a truly momentous occasion! Wil, you've got yourself a great site, a loving wife and some cracking step-kids (you make me sick!). No, seriously, keep up the good work, let Anne have her say every now and again, and stay healthy. Posted by: Bingobowden at February 20, 2002 12:36 AMAww. love notes! That's pretty keen. I'm such a sap I guess. It's the little touches that get me. That was one of the funniest and most touching things I've read today...thanks for sharing it with us! Re: smartasses...my grandmother used to say if everyone in the family was a smartass, it makes life much easier ;) (much more fun too, heh) Posted by: slady at February 20, 2002 12:45 AMAhh... I want that kind of feeling. I envy both of you. May the word divorce never be whispered by either of you! Posted by: Stari at February 20, 2002 09:05 AMThat was such a nice post, I smiled the whole way through it. :) Posted by: shinefly at February 20, 2002 09:09 AMWelcome to WWDN Anne! Great post, gave me many, many sighs (as to how wonderful a relationship you and your husband have). I think it's great when couples take an active interest in each other's hobbies and although I'm relatively new to this site, I want to thank you for putting up with the blood,sweat and tears that Wil put into this site. It is the 1st place (well, after email) I come to in the morning, (followed by UE and Roughy) and it usually gets my day off on a good note. Enjoy your Spa Day, I missed the contribution, but I know you definitely deserve it! And girl, we want details when you get back! Some of us women will need to live vicariously through you on this one! WIL - WEAR YOUR GLASSES!!!!! Do your wife a favor, glasses are sexier than crosseyes, ANYDAY!!!!! Vickie Posted by: noworriesmon at February 20, 2002 09:12 AMI, for one, would love to hear how you two met and what your initial thoughts were, first date, and stuff... Posted by: Max at February 20, 2002 09:14 AMWil Wheaton, you are a lucky, lucky man. Bastard.
Splendid to hear from Anne! Where are all the naysayers now, huh? Wil did have a good idea, and Anne loved the gift. Posted by: Shell at February 20, 2002 09:16 AM
Welcome! And thanks for sharing your words with us. Enjoy the hell out of that spa! Back when I was a wage slave I used to go for massages once a week and they were the most wonderful things. Just say the word "spa" and my ears perk up. Glad you and Wil have such a good time together. May it keep on for as long as you both work at it. I'd love to know you guys when you're about where we are now -- I'll bet you'll be as much in love, if not more. I'm here to tell you that it's simply amazing! Wil: Put your glasses on. My SO had perfect vision until he hit his 40s -- I've always had to wear glasses (since 3rd grade anyway). Now he's wearing glasses in front of the computer when he's doing his programming or mixing his music (he's a composer). And, oddly enough, I've ditched the glasses and wear contacts in front of the computer as I do my programming and astronomy research. Don't mess with your eyes man -- they're the only ones you get. Both of you: thanks for sharing your lives with us. Hey Anne, It's nice to meet you (sort of). I, for one, am glad that some of us who enjoy Wil's site on a regular basis could do that. I have married (and almost married) friends and so I know what it's like and how much they appreciate their significant others that they can often times let them go off and do their thing - whatever that is - in this case Wil and his site. I just want to say thanks for being so cool with it. Posted by: turtles11 at February 20, 2002 09:20 AMHi, Okay, that was lame, I've read one too many Dear John letters... Anyways, I've read through the entry and I just had to respond, to you both, cause well you both will read this. I'd just like to say that you both are disgusting in your sappiness!! :) But, adorable too. May you both always make the other smile. P.S. - I swear, if we could take back William Shatner we would...not to mention Celine Dion! Posted by: Oddly Canadian at February 20, 2002 09:31 AMAnne: Very nice to hear from you, glad you enjoyed the gift. Now I wish I'd donated more, but of course 1 U.S. dollar is like 100 dollars Canadian. : ) You and Wil both seem to be amazing people who are raising your boys to be the same way. As a fellow "cougar" (woman involved with a younger man) I'd just like to say "Ain't it fun!" Wil: I love the site more and more each day, thanks for taking the time to reach out to the geeky masses. Rob M: Please you gotta share the WWDN drinking game with the rest of the posse! OK I'm done now. Posted by: Gaea at February 20, 2002 09:32 AMHe rubs her ears? <Nelson Muntz> HAW-HAW! </Nelson Muntz> Posted by: Woody at February 20, 2002 09:35 AMAnne- It's great to hear from you after all the stories Wil's put on the site. You do realize that now that you've made your first steps into this world...THERE'S NO GOING BACK (Bwa-ha-ha-ha!) And Atari 2600s still rock! Atari....Asteroids...asteriods isn't the same when played in black and white, you need the different colored rocks flying at you, and then they get bigger, and then that annoying little ship that you can never catch goes after you. Dude...now I wanna go home and play on our old Atari...only thing bad about it, crappola keyboard... Mrs. Wil, you must be cool if you use an Atari... Posted by: Danie at February 20, 2002 09:43 AMA lovely post Anne. You all are so very blessed to have each other and your kids sound so awesome. I can only hope mine will be so cool when and if I have some. K Posted by: Kman at February 20, 2002 09:44 AMI saw the Las Vegas sketch & my brother & I agree that of all the shows we saw there (6 shows) it was the best!!!! My kids run around w/ those stupid glasses we wore when Wil first came out. Great first time post Anne! Hope you have a great time at the spa! And if it comes down to fighting over the computer, I'm sure you can find a nice rebuilt one at a reasonable price! Wil, I didn't know you gave good oomax! *LOL* Oh, Wil, WEAR YOUR GLASSES! Good Vibes to you all.... Posted by: Lenna at February 20, 2002 10:15 AMhey anne, let me take the time to tell you that you got one of the most greatest guy in the whole world (well almost my babe comes first, sorry wil) seriously he's a wonderful guy although i dont know him personally ( c'mon wil you remember the other night,j/j) you are the best smartasses i've ever known, cool! grotesques you! anyway yes i am one of wil's chearleaders, try to pep him up for his website as much as i can. anne you got that covered. hey wil get your 2 cent coke bottles on cause really your writing....well its kinda lame.....nothing but love my man. hey take care anne you rock hey have any ideas on straightening someones hair. call me. Posted by: lisa at February 20, 2002 10:17 AMWil, dude, WEAR YOUR GLASSES. Cross eyed computer geeks are totally unattractive. Oh wait, I know why you don't wear 'em. Once your eyes are crossed you take a peek at the missus and see two or three of her. Heh. Still. Don'tcha know your eyes will get STUCK that way??? Tsk. Do what your wife says (cause wives are totally in charge) and wear those suckers. Posted by: Thumper at February 20, 2002 10:33 AMComputer widow - yeah, I've got one of them myself. It's getting better now, as I have the site up pretty well. It's always a balancing act, as I am a martial arts student who runs the website for the dojo, plus the QA manager stuff, plus taking care of Mom's farm mechanics... yadda farkin yadda. So, anyways - I feel your pain (with apologies to Slick Willie). It helps if the missus also has some passion outside of the house. My wife does many artsy things (pottery, stc), so during the semester, she is fine with my other tasks. It's the in between times, and when I am up til 2am, that she has a problem. I guess the solution is twofold - try not to work to late (or keep your wife awake until you finish), or make sure that your significant other has something to pour into as well. That's all I have to say about that. Oh yeah - nice to meet you, Anne. Posted by: LeatheJ1 at February 20, 2002 10:37 AMAnne, I thought Wil was making you up, sorta like a figment of his imagination or something. I think it's really great that you let Wil come out and play with us. No wonder he's always talking about how great you are. Thanks for sharing. Keep on posting. It was nice to hear from the woman behind "the man". I'm glad you are happy with the present from all of us. Thanks so much for letting Wil share his world with us. He is so much different from what I imagined, and I'm glad I've had the opportunity to get to konw him through this site. Also, you seem pretty cool yourself and I look forward to hearing more from you and about you! Take care and enjoy the spa! Posted by: Jennifer at February 20, 2002 10:38 AMMax had a wonderful idea. Mr and Mrs Wil, how'd you meet? Posted by: cherylzyx at February 20, 2002 10:39 AMAnne.... It's nice to actually see a post from you. So often Wil talks about what you've said in reference to his computer life, and how amazing he thinks you and your children are. You're all very lucky to have each other, and Wil is quite lucky to have a wife that's so understanding about his time on a silly little electronic box, which is why I pitched in a few bucks.... you deserved it.

You've got to at least post on here more often!! Posted by: Kerry at February 20, 2002 10:48 AMI'm Burns, one of those friends that hangs out with Anne while Wil is working on this site. Not a regular noter here, but thought I'd confirm a couple of facts. First, Anne really was very proud of writing this entry (and it really did take an hour to type.) She was so proud, in fact, that while Wil was out at the bookstore with Ryan, she called me and read it to me over the phone. My comment? "Geez, Anne, the WWDN Posse are going to *love* you." Secondly, she wasn't kidding. She really doesn't know how to turn on the computer. Third, at least a couple of noters above mentioned the fact that Anne and Wil are clearly deeply in love. Almost in a syrupy sweet kind of way. I'm here to tell you, it's all true. It's almost sick. The thing is, though, it's great. It is nice just to be around people who really like each other. We should all (and by that I mean *ME*) be so lucky as to find someone that thinks we're as cool as Anne & Wil think each other are; that loves us as much as Anne & Wil love each other. Well, that's my two-cents, anyway. Posted by: BURNS! at February 20, 2002 10:48 AMSorry for the multiple posts...my computer went psycho on me! Posted by: Kerry at February 20, 2002 10:49 AMw00t! Thanks for putting up with all our insane goofiness, Anne! It's good to hear from you, and I'm glad you enjoyed your present! Anne. . .hope you had an awesome time at the spa. Looks like you may end up with a posse of your own!!! :-) Posted by: David at February 20, 2002 10:51 AMAnne, Best. Post. Ever. So, uh, how are you at Pac-Man? I loved Pac-Man so much that for 3 straight years (1st, 2nd & 3rd grades) I went to school as Pac-Man, ate the Pac-Man vitamins, played the game every moment my dad wasn't playing Space Invaders... Ok, lunch break over, gotta get back to work. PS, Wil, wear your glasses. You shouldn't abuse your eyes. And men + glasses = HOT. Hey, it works for J. Keith van Straten (at least as far as my opinion is concerned). Posted by: jl at February 20, 2002 10:53 AMWhat is this in the sink? Posted by: Mrs. Spudnuts at February 20, 2002 10:57 AMAnne and Will - You two rock. R - A - W - K RAWK! :-) As do Nolan and Ryan. That post was an absolutely wonderful way to start the day. Though I do have to say - though I will definitely agree that Atari is much cooler than Playstation - Intellevision stomped all _over_ Atari. Repeatedly. And with great gusto. http://www.intellivisionlives.com/ Unfortunately, mine died ages ago. Never bothered picking up any other kind of game station, either - just wasn't the same. Anyway, good to hear from you. The both of you are wonderful, and if I end up half as happy when I'm 'married with children' as you all are, I figure I'll be doing quite well indeed. Rawk. Posted by: djwudi at February 20, 2002 10:58 AMAnne, Love the post. I thought it was sincere and pretty damn funny......there were some parts that just about busted me up and my roomie thought I was just about insane (but hell, my roomie thinks I'm usually insane, so nothing new). I thought you were giving Wil there a run for his money. Anyway, hope you drop by again in six months :-) --Michelle PS, Wil, listen the wife and put the "Corey Feldman" glasses on or she may just give you the smackdown :-) PPS....on a different note, was watching Family Ties on Nick at Nite....Wil, you rocked that Jennifer Keaton's world in that ep!!! Posted by: Michelle at February 20, 2002 11:01 AM"Secondly, she wasn't kidding. She really doesn't know how to turn on the computer." It's not that hard. Start by whispering in it's ear...

The old man's pretty cool, isn't he? :) Wil, wear the damned glasses. All real geeks wear 'em... didn't you know? Happy days, guys... Posted by: colin at February 20, 2002 11:02 AMHey Anne, Oh, and Wil, just incase the others haven't told you...PUT YOUR GLASSES ON! Love, Peace and Doughnuts. Wonderful to hear from you, Anne, and I'm happy to know that everything is going well. Posted by: JosephFinn at February 20, 2002 11:07 AMHey Wil if you don't watch out Anne is gonna get a bigger posse than you! : ) Posted by: Gaea at February 20, 2002 11:19 AMThanks for posting Anne. Now when do we get to hear from Ferris? Posted by: David Grenier at February 20, 2002 11:24 AMAnne, I'm so glad you are posting on WWDN! We read all about you and it's so awesome that you posted on there. Before I start sounding like a lame lame fan, I'll stop. But you are lucky. I'm really happy for you. Have a great day. Posted by: april at February 20, 2002 11:32 AMGod! The Wheatons kick ass!! While I am too young to have played Atari (I think, at least I dont' remember it), I can kick my husband's ass at Mortal Kombat. Anyway, Wil wear your glasses, don't make the poor woman have to tell you EVERY TIME. Posted by: Gesikah at February 20, 2002 11:37 AMHey, far too much apologizing for not being a computer genius! I teach web development, and it blows my mind, the first thing that comes out of my student's mouths, particularly the female students, is "I know this is a stupid question, but ..." Be confident! You've done a great job, and I think that www.wilwheatonswife.net is a fantastic idea...an online support group for those that have significant other's who can't tear themselves away from the computer. Sign me up! We can create a virus that shuts down the home computer after 2 hours of daily use! :~) Posted by: Beth at February 20, 2002 11:38 AMi am so in love with both of you. Posted by: lauren at February 20, 2002 11:39 AMAnne, Take care, Anne, Take care, I know what you mean Wil. My wife, you may remember Gesikah on the comments here, has made her own website. I'm so freakin' proud of it, because she said she wanted to try so I handed her an HTML book and said "go ahead". And damnit, she did it. Granted I had to help a bit with setting up her blogger and then mod it so she can have commens posted, but that's ok becuase she's just not ready for that stuff. Anyways, my wife rocks ass, and I love it. Everybody go read her bitching about me at www.lifewithageek.com Ain't Love grand? Enjoy the spa day. When they massage your toes, think of me, and the $5 I gave so they could rub your pinky and make it go Wee Wee Wee all the way home. RevX Posted by: RevXaos at February 20, 2002 11:50 AMcolin said "Wil, wear the damned glasses. All real geeks wear 'em... didn't you know?" I'm a geek but don't wear glasses. Wish I did. I have some fake ones that look kinda like those Feldman glasses, but I refer to them more as my John Flansburgh glasses. ;) I guess the grass is always greener, eh? Posted by: Courtney at February 20, 2002 11:59 AMSo when do we get to see photos of Wil wearing the glasses?
Oh no, I know what I forgot: William (farking) Shatner will be grilling The Curse, with cheese on top, on the Wil Wheaton/George Foreman grill.... Posted by: da Schmiz at February 20, 2002 12:02 PMAnne, One other comment, about Wil being absorbed in the HTML programming. Both my SO and I code our own web pages. It can get really intense and all-absorbing. When I was coding my web page I was still in graduate school, just beginning work on my thesis. Those were long, intense hours of writing and research, and I needed something to "blow off steam" so I'd spend long, intense hours writing the web page content, coding it, and fiddling with the code, ad infinitum. (LOL) When I'd log off for the night, it always felt like I was stepping from one world to another! Actually I spend lots of time on updates, so a web page is a never-ending project. If you get hooked on it, you'll be the same way. ;) Anyway, thanks again for your posting.

Posted by: Foxychik at February 20, 2002 12:04 PMWIL, how can you call yourself a geek if you DON'T WEAR YOUR GLASSES???! What is this "play station" you speak of? How could they have advanced beyond Atari? It's just INCONCEIVABLE! ("You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.") Posted by: dake at February 20, 2002 12:10 PMWow. People are just up and all over this. Good stuff. Ra ra ra to you Wil and Anne... and I think I've scared you enough as it is.

Posted by: ThatGirl at February 20, 2002 12:22 PM*WAITING FOR MY INVITATION TO JOIN YOU ON aforementioned "SPA DAY"* Posted by: Scooter-boit at February 20, 2002 12:22 PMFirst: Wil, your wife told us to say "Start wearing your glasses". So there. Seriously, it is nice to read from your caring wife. Don't be a stranger, Anne. Please. Posted by: adeversole at February 20, 2002 12:23 PMAhhhh the posse love. Anne, you obviously rock and thanks for the post. Wil, listen to your woman and wear the glasses. I always dug the Corey Feldman glasses. Very Buddy Holly, geek-chic. Yum. Posted by: Interplanet Janet at February 20, 2002 12:43 PMHi Anne - as many have said before, very nice post. I really enjoyed reading it. As for you, Wil - well, when you start getting into fights over who gets to use the computer, it means you need to get a second one. And that Anne needs to learn to turn it on. Have a nice day! Posted by: Stephanie at February 20, 2002 12:45 PMDude, Wil, your wife kicks ass! Mrs. Wheaton, please come visit us again! You Wheatons rock. I can never get enough Wheatons. Posted by: Aura Borealis at February 20, 2002 12:53 PMI'm wearing glasses today. Can I get some Mrs. W love? Posted by: Roughy at February 20, 2002 12:54 PMHey Wil. Hey Anne :) Posted by: JediPrincess at February 20, 2002 01:00 PMHey Wil. Hey Anne :) Posted by: JediPrincess at February 20, 2002 01:00 PMHey, can you guys adopt me? Talk about a cool family...surely you need a 29 year old daughter... Posted by: buffyspazz at February 20, 2002 01:17 PMWas it really necessary to write "William f----- Shatner"? Has he done something wrong against you or Wil or are you just joining in with the pro-TNG anti-Shatner rage? Very disappointing. Posted by: Peg at February 20, 2002 01:17 PMIt was nice to finaly hear from the woman behind the man. I hope you get the opportunity to talk to us again. Its nice to get a larger picture of the real Wil. Have a great day!! "Dreams unwind. Love's a state of mind."Stevie Nicks "Rhiannon" 1974 Posted by: Shannon Rachal at February 20, 2002 01:22 PMThe theme song to shaft. that's hilarious. Anne, If you're worried about being a computer widow - there's something worse. Me and Vince both have our own computers networked and we instant message back and forth across the house. Posted by: Jodilyn at February 20, 2002 01:29 PMThat's not fair, like you said, the reason for tuning in everyday is to hopefully find Wheaton's unfished Vegas story, finished. Nolan and Ryan are not the only lucky ones... Posted by: ze-mag at February 20, 2002 01:58 PMAnne, A pleasure to hear from you at last. Thanks for sharing your husband with the rest of us. He's kinda geeky but we love him anyway. (Oh yeah, like I have the street cred to call anyone geeky!) Anne - it was such a great thought to contribute to Wil's blog. It gives us a chance to get a glimpse of Wil's better half. As a wife of a "computer geek" I know your pain ;) But I must say that my husband is less computer-oriented lately and it makes me a very happy wife. (Did I mention we met in an IRC chat room..?) As to Vegas, my husband and I were there last summer between August 26 and Sept 2, 2001. And the Star Trek: Experience was THE HIGHLIGHT of our trip (we are hopeless StarTrek fans). We got back home just to find out that we missed the StarTrek 35th anniversary celebration and the convention. Frankly, we were quite pissed about that. And yes, as Canadians, we are used to non-smoking environment (smoke free restaurants and other public spaces, even non-smoking floor in the Niagara Falls casino) and we were disgusted with the second-hand smoke we had to endure - I can so related to this part of Vegas. I was just getting over pneumonia and on a total anti-biotic high, but damn it, I was NOT going to missing that trip! And gosh, it was so worth it! We had a blast! I hope you will contribute to the blog sometime again! It was great to hear from you. Posted by: SpaceCadet at February 20, 2002 02:03 PMHere I am again late to the party- Hey Anne ! That's really cool that you let Wil play with us, he's so cool. As for the computer literacy I totally sympathize, I personally don't own a playstation, I havn't had a game thingy since Atari I burned that thing out "wohoo Space Invaders and Breakout!" I am leaning toward getting an X box though,Anyhow sorry I couldn't contribute to the cause but glad you had fun. From one woman who is madly in love with her spouse to another "ain't Love Grand!" Posted by: Andie G. at February 20, 2002 02:24 PMPeg - If you read through previous posts, you will see that William Shatner has been nothing but a ROYAL jerk to Wil (until recently on the Weakest Link). I guess it's kind of a joke to refer to him as that. Maybe Roughy or Wil himself can explain it better. Lighten up - it's all in good fun. Posted by: noworriesmon at February 20, 2002 03:09 PMOkay... I'll quit lurking and comment. Wil- Love the blog... read it every day from my little desk here at Microsoft. See in a small way, you help to take money away from the man! Anne- So wonderful to hear from you! Have a wonderful massage (as if there are bad massages!). Thanks for entertaining me :) Mrs Wheaton: It was nice to read your entry, but it really hurts to be referred to as "lame ass"
btw, My wife read your entry and said she thought you sounded pretty nice Posted by: bluesman at February 20, 2002 03:48 PMNice to meet you Mrs Wheaton. Oh and Wil..wear your glasses! Posted by: Daisy at February 20, 2002 04:03 PMbluesman- you're totally not a lame-ass, and you know it. but you knew that already. :) Posted by: wil at February 20, 2002 04:11 PMWhat the hell is a blog? Posted by: James Grandt at February 20, 2002 04:15 PMI know that you've heard this alot Anne, but... Wow, I wish the network hadn't been down yesterday because I could have read this and responded sooner. Crumbs, Anne is awesome - witty, articulate...I'm not sure I'd say she was "smart-assy"...maybe "sassy"; (Saying that makes me feel like UpChuck from Daria, so I'll try to stop being creepy). It's wonderful that the Wheatons are so happy and well-adjusted. I'm in a "blended family" but it doesn't feel that way at all. I've even stopped thinking of our strange feline Frosty as my "step-cat." My new niece could never be my "step-niece" - I'm as elated as if she and I had genetic ties. The spa experience is well-deserved, and I hope Anne enjoys it thoroughly. Yeah, Wil should wear his glasses. My left eye has a touch of astigmatism and a little presybyopia, so it crosses sometimes when I spend too much time reading, typing, staring through a microscope, etc., especially when I wear my contacts instead of my glasses. My weird eye makes me feel like Sloth from the Goonies! Posted by: Antalya_AesSedai at February 20, 2002 04:27 PMYou're a lucky man Will. Anne is quite a lady. Posted by: Keith at February 20, 2002 04:29 PMI have a few things to say so here goes: Anne: Wow what wonderful things you've got to say, you are one of the luckiest women alive. Hang in there with the technology, I didn't get it for a long while and in a lot of ways I still don't but I'm getting there slowly and surely. Firemage: Thank you so much for your comment, it really touched me, it brought me up a bit, and at the moment thats so not an easy thing to acumplish. Roughly: You're great, thank you for all you said To all the rest whos names I can't remember and I know I should: Thank you all for your comments I do find it hard to be posititve but you guys have made it easier and as a reault here are 7 things I'm gretful for (even if it has taken me a while to come up with the list) 1. WWDN - for the friendlyness (is that a word) people have shown me, and for the joy I get from reading posts. 2. My Life Story (a rock group) 3. My friends at college who have to put up with a lot from me at the moment as I keep putting them thru hell. 4. The lady who drove me to hospital this evening cos I was having an asthma attack 5. Me Mam, who is there for me no matter what, and won't push me to tell her whats wrong and wait patiently until I'm ready to tell her. 6. My Music collection 7. Chocolate A big thank you to everyone at WWDN. Have a goog day TT4N Spike Dear Anne, I'll join all the others in praising you for your post. It is refreshing to see that you are indeed everything that Wil has said - no exaggeration! He's a lucky, lucky man. There are a lot of women (and men, for that matter) who don't know much about computers - but guess what? You can learn! When the first pc came into my life many years ago, my teenage son would "try" to show me how to do simple things. His idea of teaching me was to mutter under his breath, while his fingers flew over the keyboard, and saying "See? It's easy. Just do this, and this, and this and this, and - there you have it!" Right. When I asked him to slow down so I could follow him, or maybe let me write down the steps, he laughed at the very thought that I couldn't immediately grasp what he was saying. A pox upon all uppity teenage geek-boys! Well, I don't code HTML (yet) but I figured something out a while back - it's just a machine! Do you have a bread machine? Same thing. Buttons. Just keep pushing buttons and beating up on the keys until it does what you want. Oh, and RTFM. (That's geek talk for Read The Farking Manual!) And, remember my golden rule: If it locks up, push the panic button! Shut the mutha down! My husband and I each have our own computers, and spend countless hours sitting six feet away from each other while he plays Ultima Online, and I goof around with Worth1000 and peek in at this site. Life is good! Seriously, it sounds like the two of you have what most people only dream about, and very few ever find. Treasure it. I'm 3 years and 10 months older than my husband. There's a theory that says "Get 'em young, and raise 'em right! We would all like to hear how the two of you met. I'll bet it's a good story. All the best, I thought people magazine did a very nice article on all of you. Nolan Ryan was my favorite pitcher. Were those names reflecting him? I don't know what a blog is either. cheers Posted by: VanIsleWoman at February 20, 2002 04:50 PMOh, yeah...I wanted to quickly mention I caught the article in the February 11th People magazine too...was really great to see a pic of all you guys! :o ) Good article and glad to see Wil getting some attention...I know Anne and the boys'll keep him in line (and off-line from time to time). Ciao, Posted by: Mark at February 20, 2002 05:02 PMHi Anne (and Wil), P.S. Wil, wear the glasses! Posted by: escher at February 20, 2002 05:24 PMIt's been said, many times, many ways... Anne roooooolz. It's also been made clear: Wil needs to wear his glasses. Now, if only Mrs. Spudnuts could get her husband back into the posting spirit. Hint. Hint. Right then... have fun, kids. :) Posted by: KJB at February 20, 2002 05:31 PMSpike, glad you found your seven reasons and that ALL of us could be a part of it. Hope you are feeling better. Lenna Posted by: Lenna at February 20, 2002 05:38 PMWooo! You rock! Glad you're on board! :D Posted by: Sarah at February 20, 2002 05:43 PMRoughy made a funny: Wil's straight? Audible Laughing at my house hey anne, hey, Mrs. W. wow wil, anne, you guys would like a great couple and wil is always raving about you and is always saying nothign but godo things about you all. sounds liek you all kick serious ass! Posted by: Pikachu at February 20, 2002 06:31 PMHey Mrs. Wheaton - MA'AM! Tis indeed a pleasure to meet you... you have a fine house of men under your charge and it is grand to know that ya'll are taking such good care of one another. Please keep popping by and hanging with us... enjoy your day at the spa... and stay chillin' Love to all...
PS: My B&N has a "banned" books display up right now and I informed that Stupid White Men needed to join under the "Banned for Political Statements" category as I told them about the near-shredding of Moore's latest tome... even my Bush-luvin' hubby (he has since reformed over Enron) was reading it and seeing the light!

Glad you had a good massage, I envy you, but discoverd wil's site too late for the donations tho, so I can't say I helped. Posted by: jen at February 20, 2002 07:08 PMWOW!!!!! What else is there to add? I agree with
1.For my best friend and S.O. that was on my Thank you for this opportunity..This has been a *waves meekly* This is my first post here. I found this site about a month ago and I think its so cool that Wil runs it himself. Ive been a fan of Wil since his days on Star Trek. So Wil if and when you read this, I just want to say hi and say hi to Anne for me too. Keep up the good work! You ROCK! *vanishes* Posted by: GreenEyes: The Official CAT of Violence at February 20, 2002 07:29 PMInsert obligatory "Mrs. Wheaton (SIR!) is cool" quote here. Follow with obligatory "Roughy - cheese" statement. Finish with random "Canada" comment. Posted by: JSc at February 20, 2002 07:47 PM
Wil may not realize this, but he has a lot more As for the hecklers, well, nobody likes to be Anne: tres cool, that you have ventured into the land of the WWDN fans. I admit, I haven't been a good poster lately... but I've been a little busy. Going back to college, changnig my major over to music.... that sorta fun. That was pretty cool, you listing your seven things... and I gotta agree with you... chocolate rules. I think I oughta put up my list... so without furthar ado, my list: 1. My family, dysfunctional as they can be sometimes. 2: Wil, because I VERY much enjoy his unique sense of humor in my day. Even though I haven't heard the Burrito in ages.... 3. CHOCOLATE. The ultimate sensory experience. 4. Garfield. Next to wil himself, I can't quite go without America's #1 fat cat to read every day. 5. October. My favorite time of year in New England, the trees and weather are always just heavenly IMO. 6. The simplicity of the original NES system. Yes, I still have one that works. And a Super NES, and a bunch of gameboy games. Who needs that fancy shmancy X-Box, cool as it is to play...? Sometimes, it's the simple things in life, that are best. 7. Did I mention Wil, already? I owe him BIG time, for not only introducing me to Cafepress.com, but who else is cool enough, to help me find the music for Contra on mp3? You ROCK, Wil! And so does your family, for encouraging your exceptional computer skills! Keep it up, man. Honorable mention goes to Star Trek, my cd burner, my piano teacher, and my computer, as things I'm also happy about. Okay... I'm yawning now. And Anne... don't base your typing, on what other people do. Take me for example. When I write a story, it takes me ALL DAY to write one chapter... but that's because I focus on quality, not quantity. Everyone does things at their own pace, be comfortable in what you can do, right NOW. And give yourself time to experiment on his pc. In time, maybe you'll get more experience. Everyone learns, from experience. Wil started his site, wiht the lame Geocities site builder... and NOW look at him. Because he kept at it. Don't feel bad... you did a really, really cool job, on your first post. -David. Posted by: Cartoon Beagle at February 20, 2002 07:54 PMDammit! I had this whole long post and then my computer disconnected from the internet and now it is GONE! Gone forever! (Sigh.) I wish there were 50,000 monkeys envying my marriage. Now that would rock! New t-shirt: Hmm. Was that lame? It's so hard to tell when you're half asleep, squinting at the computer screen. (All right, all right, I will start looking for my glasses! When? Uh, I don't know. Soon.) Yeah, I think it was lame. Oh, well. Posted by: T'Sai Amanda at February 20, 2002 08:00 PMAnne, good to have you. (: You're a lucky woman. Wil, you're a lucky guy. Nolan and Ryan, you're lucky, too. Everybody's lucky! Posted by: Ian at February 20, 2002 08:36 PMLucky, lucky, lucky, I've got Wil Wheatons in my tummy... Wait... That's nasty. Never mind. ANNE - SO great to see you post! From now on I hope there will be more!! Both you crazy BIG kids and the little ones are SO lucky!!! I hope I'll have a love like that as soon as I get married! Oh no! Jodilyn - that's f***ing hilarious! So do me and my husband. LOL!! I thought we were the only dorks who did that! :) And dake - hell yeah! Good movie.

Posted by: Mrs. Paul at February 20, 2002 11:30 PMI dread answering the telephone. Posted by: Mrs. Corey Feldman at February 20, 2002 11:33 PMWhat? Posted by: Mrs. Green Lantern at February 20, 2002 11:34 PMFor the remainder of this week, I will be posting as... Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones. Posted by: Spudnuts at February 20, 2002 11:52 PMI vas born in a part of Belarus where people what have bluejeans cannot for be to using them becausk they hef no bones. Very sad. Very, very sad. Yes. Funny. But also... SAD. Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 20, 2002 11:55 PMNot a bone between the two of us. Sad. Posted by: Mrs. Lermontov, Wife of the Man What Has No Bones, but Also She Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 12:00 AMWe hef bluejeans... Posted by: Mrs. Lermontov, Wife of the Man What Has No Bones, but Also She Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 12:01 AMYes. Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 12:02 AMBut we are unable to use them. Posted by: Mrs. Lermontov, Wife of the Man What Has No Bones, but Also She Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 12:03 AMSad. Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 12:04 AMVery. Posted by: Mrs. Lermontov, Wife of the Man What Has No Bones, but Also She Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 12:05 AMSend us no more bluejeans, cruel Americans! Can you not see the anguish in our watery, ice-blue eyes as they well up with tears of watery anguish and ice-blue anguish?! We cannot wear them. Keep your bluejeans. They are not for us! For we have no bones. Sad. Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 12:13 AMDo not weep, my husband. It is not cruelty which compels them to send us bluejeans, but rather it is misplaced kindness. They give... but know nothing of our shame. The children must not see your watery, ice-blue anguish tears in your eyes of anguish. Come! Go! Leave! For to no more crying on this the greatest day of the year... The day of February when we celebrate the opening of the shed for people what needs to borrow rakes upon the... Solstice. Some wheat. Go! Posted by: Mrs. Lermontov, Wife of the Man What Has No Bones, but Also She Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 12:20 AMSPUDNUTS! Posted by: KJB at February 21, 2002 12:20 AMOh. Shut it. I'm going to watch pornography now. Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 12:21 AMIt's great to see that you're so understanding about the hubs spending so much time at the computer. I feel like you and Wil are like the West Coast version of me and my hubby! We get a kick out of The Simpsons too ("Teacher, I glued my head to my shoulder!"). And don't tell anyone *Toonces looks over her shoulder to make sure said hubby isn't looking*, but my hubs has this thing about yawning with his tongue sticking out. So there ya go. Maybe they were seperated at birth? :) Anyway, thanks for taking part in the site. I've only been here for a short while, but I can apprieciate the time Wil spends on the place, and also the fact that he's willing to share the experience with you. Hope you enjoy the spa day! Posted by: Toonces at February 21, 2002 12:21 AMCrap. I didn't want to scare Spudnuts away. I suck. Come back, Mr. Lermontov. Please? Posted by: KJB at February 21, 2002 12:26 AMOn second thought... Perhaps pornography is a good idea for you. Even though you have no bones. I'm stopping. Posted by: KJB at February 21, 2002 12:28 AMChrist. I >> SAID I only have TWO hands. Can't a lad find privacy on this man's Internet? Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 12:30 AMI was sad because I had no bluejeans. Then I behelt Lermontov, the man who has bluejeans, but no bones. And beside him was his wife , who has bluejeans, but no bones as well. I am concerned with the watchings of pr0nography by a man with no bones. Does it not seem to be ironic... I mean, why would someone watch something that gives a lot of us that which he does not have. Oh...wait. I get it now. Lermontov now has a bone, methinks. Methinks Mrs. Lermontov is appreciative. Posted by: Roughy at February 21, 2002 12:57 AMOh, Great Wheat Thresher in the sky... Why? Why hef you cursed me and my children and the people of my village from here down to the river and a few on the other bank near the grist mill with bonelessness? What hef we done in our comink and goink and comink and... goink... to merit such travail?! What? WHAT?! Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 12:59 AMIt's all a failure to respect the cheese. Respect for cheese = blue jeans. Disrespect for cheese is the hobgoblins of greengoblins in the minds of spidermen. Posted by: Roughy at February 21, 2002 01:01 AMPrivacy? In this man's Internet? It's like asking if the Pope's Jewish. I hope never to find cheese in my bluejeans. Or any bluejeans, for that matter. Posted by: KJB at February 21, 2002 01:17 AM24601! Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 01:26 AMBoneless SCUM! Men like you can never change. Posted by: Javert, the Inspector What Has Bones at February 21, 2002 01:28 AMThere is a duty I am sworn to do. Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 01:30 AMFool! You must think me mad. I have doggedly pursued you across countless message boards. Lermontov, it ends here. Tonight. In this shithole of a website. This I swear! Posted by: Javert, the Inspector What Has Bones at February 21, 2002 01:34 AMInspector, do not underestimate me... Though I am boneless, still there is strength to be reckoned with in these feeble old limbs. Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 01:36 AMAll he did was steal some bread. Posted by: Mrs. Green Lantern at February 21, 2002 01:38 AMSilence, woman! This does not concern you. It's between me and the boneless Russian. Posted by: Javert, the Inspector What Has Bones at February 21, 2002 01:39 AMBut he must save my poor, sick child! Even though he has no bones... Posted by: Fantine at February 21, 2002 01:50 AMLermontov. You seem to have gained wretched allies in this hive of scum and human refuse. Touching. No matter. Yield! Or face the crushing fury of this armed and fully operational battle truncheon! Posted by: Javert, the Inspector What Has Bones at February 21, 2002 01:54 AMDaddy! Don't let him take you away! Posted by: Cosette, the Irritating Little Wretch at February 21, 2002 01:58 AMI cannot be broken. Merely... Bent. In a multitude of action poses. Placed in a small box. Or bag. Made to walk down stairs alone or in pairs. Pressed against the Sunday comics until I bear the imprint of Mary Worth and then s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d until funny, funny pictures happen... YES! Yes, Javert... Bent. But NEVER broken. Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 01:58 AMOi! We've seen him before! He's a total ass, that Lermontov. By the way... Javert, you still owe us 50 francs. Posted by: M. et Mdme Thenardier, the Unscrupulous Smelly Frenchies at February 21, 2002 02:06 AMWhew! I'm saving the Lermontov et al posts! It's like reading Waiting For Godot! Brilliant, but scary. Scary like watching a car wreck.... Blame it all on Lermontov. That boneless ass. But hey, if you're so amused... we could use $50... Posted by: M. et Mdme Thenardier, the Unscrupulous Smelly Frenchies at February 21, 2002 02:23 AM>> the Unscrupulous Smelly Frenchies As opposed to the scrupulous non-smelly variety? Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 02:29 AMThe man has a point, dear. Shut up, wench. Posted by: M. et Mdme Thenardier, the Unscrupulous Smelly Frenchies at February 21, 2002 02:36 AMOh. And TV's Wil Wheaton? Shut your hole, gateau-boy. This site is now officially the domain of the Boneless Bolsheviks of Belarus (BBB). No more of your whiny, bourgeois showbiz crap. Now, all of your posts will be edited by the Democratic People's Council on Matters Pertinent (DPCMP) prior to publication. Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 02:48 AMReminds me of my government class in high school. We were in the most radical group politically, and we named our group the People's Choice Party. PCP. We did it for shits and giggles, and we got a decent grade. Posted by: KJB at February 21, 2002 02:53 AMHey, "shits and giggles" is my line. Uneducated American swine. Posted by: Francis St. Clair, Uppity English Nag at February 21, 2002 02:54 AMWait. "Shut your hole, gateau-boy"? Isn't that "Shut your hole, cake-boy"? shouldn't it be "shut your cakehole, boy"? Oh, screw it. I'm late for bed. Posted by: That kid who is always bugging someone at February 21, 2002 03:01 AMRyan and Nolan have Wil's sense of humor? Mmmm ... bones. Posted by: osteogenic sarcoma at February 21, 2002 03:56 AMMrs W, To quote an honest, funny, loving, caring, wanting to make the world a better place kind of guy... If I wasn't such a badass, it (Your post) may have brought tears to my eyes. Mr W, thank you for this wonderful cyber-haven. Posted by: tjeu at February 21, 2002 04:26 AMHoly Stretch Armstrong! Posted by: Roughy at February 21, 2002 04:39 AMSpudnuts, now I remember why I proposed. Blog=Weblog. This url provides one version of their history: http://newhome.weblogs.com/historyOfWeblogs Rob Matsushita, I second Gaea's request for a copy of the wwdn drinking game ;). Posted by: Shell at February 21, 2002 05:06 AMYou guys want an mp3 of this one, it's gonna take a while. And maybe three other actors. Posted by: Rob Matsushita at February 21, 2002 05:18 AMGeez-how would you like to be Mrs. Wil on this one? Her first post and Spudnuts (er...Lermontov...er Javert...) comes back with a vengeance! I'd be in a fetal position on the floor myself. :) Rob-I think this one's gonna be a challenge! Posted by: olafandy (the poster formerly known as Jon) at February 21, 2002 06:02 AMHey Anne, I don't post very often, and didn't see the famous "donate here" button - but it sure as heck narked me that people gave Wil so much grief for doing something cool for his special lady. And having read your message, you are certainly that. I think it must be one of the best things that I have read on the net for months, 'cos it's about unconditional love. WWDN keeps Wil away from you for long periods, but you don't ride his ass about it - you support him, and that's pretty awesome. Gods, listen to me, a limey using words like "awesome". Hehe. Anyway, to coina phrase, Wil Wheaton kicks ass, and so do you. Cheers, and take care. CM Posted by: CharlieMouse at February 21, 2002 06:13 AMolafandy (the poster formerly known as Jon) said: "Rob-I think this one's gonna be a challenge!" Which makes it all the more tempting. Posted by: Rob Matsushita at February 21, 2002 06:59 AMSpudnuts is kind of like Billy Van on that old "Hilarious House of Frightenstein Show". Rob M I'm sure we'd all love a rendition of "The Return of Spudnuts and Friends" (or is that Fiends?), but we know how difficult it would be so just give us the WWDN drinking game for now. :) Posted by: Gaea at February 21, 2002 07:02 AMHooray for the return of Spudnuts. And Mrs. Spudnuts. And Lermontov. And Javert, Fantine, Cosette, M. et Mdme. Thenardier. I rarely laugh almost to tears within half an hour of getting out of bed - morning just aren't that joyous an occasion. This one was. I'm saving that. For posterity. Whoever posterity is. Posted by: djwudi at February 21, 2002 07:26 AMGaea: Hilarious House of Frightenstein? Marry me. Posted by: Ian at February 21, 2002 07:52 AMInteresting. Apparently 'Spudnuts' are a doughnut-like pastry treat. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=spudnuts&btnG=Google+Search I had no idea. Curse me and my (until lately) 26 year exile in the frozen wastes of Alaska. I'm such an uncultured buffoon. Posted by: djwudi at February 21, 2002 07:53 AMFunniest.Thread.Ever Will, You really do need to wear your glasses. They, I assume, are just normal every day glasses with clear glass. I am 21 and have to wear glasses and they are orange, this is because I'm dyslexic and I have to wear them to read black print of white paper and let me tell you I have had some rotten stick and horrid taunts about wearing these glasses and a friend of mines brother is dyslexic, 14 years old and his glasses are pink!!!!! Be thankful for having just common a garden glasses because I would swap with you any day! Spike OMG - I have read for a 2 weeks now about the infamous Spudnuts. And, finally, he arrives. Thank you, dear Spudnuts, Lermontov and the entire cast of Les Miz (and sadly, I knew from the 24601 where you were going with it!). You missed Marius though. Thanks for the bought of laughter this early in the morning. Got my work day started off well! Spudnuts, I wanna party with you. Vickie Posted by: noworriesmon at February 21, 2002 08:22 AM*wipes tear,* I'll never look at Les Mis the same way again. Another of my cultural favorites perverted by the genius of Spudnuts. Ian: Congrats on being like the third person to view my website. Glad you enjoyed it. I'm afraid I am already married though. : ) You know my whole family used to get up at 6am at our cottage to watch 'Frightenstein'. How dorky is that? Ah well I am Canadian, I'm supposed be dorky. I think it comes from our winters being so cold, we all end up wearing such, um, interesting clothes, especially hats, to keep warm. Don't believe me, come to Ottawa in January sometime. I swear I saw a lady the other day wearing her ferret as a hat. Eh? Posted by: Gaea at February 21, 2002 08:41 AMFor the rules (such as they are) to the WWDN drinking game, check out the Soapbox area--I'll see if I can copy and paste later. Posted by: Rob Matsushita at February 21, 2002 08:54 AMHey, Rob. You said you needed more actors. Let me know, man. I'm up for it. Granted, Spudnuts was the genius behind that thread, but if there's room for a small little lameass like me, I'll take it. Besides, that bastard still owes me 50 francs. Wait... 50 Euros. So yeah, Rob, can I play too? Posted by: KJB at February 21, 2002 10:05 AMMy name is Anne, too. Wow. Will the world continue to turn? Posted by: Anne at February 21, 2002 10:37 AMKJB--I'm totally up for any help I can get with the mp3s. You wanna step on, then step on, baby! Posted by: Rob Matsushita at February 21, 2002 10:51 AMAnne, Gaea: Go Canada! Can't you have several husbands? That was custom, here in Canada, last I heard... ;) From a MUSH... I'm so on, Rob. SO on. Give me a jingle, baybeee. (crap, my paper's due soon and I'm not done and I'm typing here. What's up with that?) Right then. mp3s, here I come. Fear me. Posted by: KJB at February 21, 2002 10:58 AMI have to mention this... Hey Anne, I really hope you enjoyed relaxing on behalf of WWDN - you deserve it :-) Thanks for your comments - we all love hanging out over here, and it's nice to know that Wil's lovely lady is ever witter than he is :-) Elle This is an embarrassing admission, being the theatre guy, but... ...I've never seen "Les Miz." I had to look up 24601, and I'm still not sure I get it. Man, the mp3 may be three or four years in the making. But I'm willing to make this a group effort (I'm talking to you, KJB!). Anyone who wants a voice in it (and if you have a microphone on your computer), let me know which part you want (except, of course, Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones--as I claim it like the fascist I am), and email me. I'll edit a whole thing together in acid, and we'll bask in the mp3 glory. Lord almighty, this could get wierd. Posted by: Rob Matsushita at February 21, 2002 12:19 PMNot only did I see "Les Miz" on Broadway twice, but I also read the goddamned book... unabridged. Why? Because garbage in, garbage out, motherfuckers. That's right. I also listen to show tunes. Here I am. Take your best shot. Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 01:02 PMSorry. I'm more of a "Sweeney Todd" kind of guy. Posted by: Rob Matsushita at February 21, 2002 01:04 PMODB as Valjean. William-Fucking-Shatner-Upon-Avon as Javert. Shawn Kemp as Gavroche. Wesley Crusher, Borg Queen as Cosette. Vanna White with a hook as Marius. Soundtrack by Chuck D and Tenacious D and Schooly D and Umberto D and Sandra D. I saw the Indigo Girls do "Jesus Christ Superstar" in Seattle and it kicked ass. Lermontov loves me some lesbians! You all think I'm kidding. "That's clever," you say. "Tee hee hee," you giggle discreetly into your kerchief, well... FUCK YOU! I mean FUCK YOU/FUCK YOU! This fucking musical/film would fucking rake in scads of cash, but Jack Black is doing "Shallow Hal" and Wil Wheaton is doing... something else. Corporate entertainment can suck my adamantium-laced endoskeletal cyber-COCK! You can't keep me out. forever Posted by: Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones at February 21, 2002 01:19 PMYou rock, Anne. Posted by: Liz Got Lost at February 21, 2002 01:47 PMshawn kemp is the worst basketball player on the whole fqin planet ("Think they stand a chance?" "It would take a miracle.") Posted by: dake at February 21, 2002 02:27 PMOkay, I finally caught up with all these freakin' comments! You sure are a prolific bunch! Anyhoo..................
1) Did I mention something about being a whore for finding myself on the Internet to you? I must have, I seem to have found myself on your blog TWICE (kind of) in as many days -- yippee -- makes a girl happy! 2) I believe I already told you earlier today that the newest spudnuts really SHOULD be an mp3 -- and of course, you know I'm willing to help with the "maybe three other actors" stuff if you need me! Oh, and... 3) you are still... evil and must be destroyed jill
OK Rob you've got to do two things as I see it: 1. At least mp3 that last Lermontov rant. And remember boys and girls Lermontov says "Listen to showtunes you stupid f*cks!" Posted by: Gaea at February 21, 2002 03:13 PMRob - Just in case - 24601 was Jean Valjean's prisoner number. There's a big song at the beginning of the show and it ends with Valjean singing "2-4-6-0-1!" Posted by: noworriesmon at February 21, 2002 03:45 PMhehehe your wife sounds very cute... she writes very well I should add... good stuff u 2! :D come stop by and say hi http://www.naijacandy.com Posted by: iCandy at February 21, 2002 04:04 PMSheeez! Wouldn't Mr Wheaton (Sir) be pissed off if his computer illiterate wife scored more comments on his site than he ever has !?? Senor Lermentov said, "adamantium-laced endoskeletal cyber-COCK!" That's a powerful cock. COCK! I was playing Hearts on yahoo! with some friends, and someone had set the language filter to "high". The only word that got through was "cock". We giggled. LOTS. So, yeah, Rob, what do I have to do? How much of it? I'm so horribly confused. And I'd send you the mp3s of the songs, but I've only got them on tape. The international cast recording, with the Japanese Eponine, it's the best. Seriously. Ok, yeah. Posted by: KJB at February 21, 2002 04:54 PMMrs.wil you rock!! I think you should have a weekly column on Uncle willy's site. That would be cool.keep on truckin'. later, jeff. Posted by: jeff at February 21, 2002 05:01 PMWil and Mrs. Wil: First, Mrs. Wil... thank you for allowing us to take up so much of Wil's undivided attention. I enjoy coming to Wil's site, reading his journal, and sharing it with my husband. Wil... what can I say... you rock... nah, that's kinda lame. How about THANK YOU! For making me laugh, for making me think, for giving me something "online" to share with my husband! Okay... yeah, that too was lame, but hey... it's truth! C Ya! Posted by: Tammtamm at February 21, 2002 06:12 PMMmmm TNN ST:TNG Pity it's the silly one with Troi flying. "Where are yooooo?" "I'm leaving, you're laaaaame" tee hee :) Posted by: KJB at February 21, 2002 08:25 PMOkay, to answer a few questions: Here's the easiest way to do this mp3 thingee...those who want to be involved send me a .wav file of themselves (or others) reading their entries in this thread. If people don't want to read their own, they can read one of the others ("M. et Mdme Thenardier, the Unscrupulous Smelly Frenchies," "Mrs. Lermontov, Wife of the Man What Has No Bones, but Also She Has No Bones," and so on) and send it to me--with an email saying which one it is and where it is in the thread. Got that? Send me a clip of your voice, and I'll edit it into the thing. One request: Remain consistant. if you pick "Mrs. Lermontov, Wife of the Man What Has No Bones, but Also She Has No Bones," then you're that character for the whole thing. (The best thing to do is make a .wav or .mp3 of ALL the characters' comments and I'll edit it in the bit) Whew! Oh, I got dibs on "Lermontov, the Man What Has No Bones." So all who are interested, send me .wav or .mp3 files. If you can't or don't know how, email me, and we'll work something out. Damn, I miss the Burrito. By the way, Hi, Jill! Jill acted in one of my shows. A clip of her in the show "Irish Lesbian Vampire 2" is on my weblog today. She's one of two people in the scene who doesn't have a gun. (If that doesn't get me hits, I don't know what will.) Posted by: Rob Matsushita at February 22, 2002 07:15 AMAnne, I have been a fan of Wil's since I was 14, (I'm now 27..yikes!!!!) I did not care for Star Trek itself, but I think Wil is a kick-ass actor!! I really enjoyed reading your entry, you should write more........I am so happy that Wil found a great person to share life's ups and downs with.........Be Proud, you have what most people search for their whole lives......Best wishes.....Tina Posted by: Tina at February 22, 2002 12:06 PMWhat's Crackin! - Just need to go Play Bingo - for my Online Bingo Habit!
