Hi, everybody! I got a lame frost piss!

Posted by: Fraize at August 19, 2002 07:31 PM

Sounds good, Wil, sounds good...Congrats on that little "best actor" thing. =)

Posted by: Michael Doss at August 19, 2002 07:32 PM

how did you add the comments before the comment screen? in straight html?

I know this is off topi, but could you help me out, I'm trying to set up several blogs right now and am having headaches.

ps... when did you move to moveable type?

Posted by: robert at August 19, 2002 07:36 PM

Hey, where's that story "A Night Out With Russ"?

Posted by: Roughy at August 19, 2002 08:02 PM

Congrats on the best actor award!

*cabbage patches*
*does the running man*

YAY Wil!

Posted by: Sarcastic Cheese at August 19, 2002 08:05 PM

A new toy for Wil?

Posted by: LZ at August 19, 2002 08:10 PM

spiffy Elvis thing . . . that is so cool---I haven't seen the word `spiffy' used in a long time. It is one of my more favorite words when describing something neat or gear (and this isn't me being ironic---honest!). I dunno---maybe I read too many Archie comics as a kid. Have a luverly dinner with your wife, wil!

Posted by: jeffroDOH at August 19, 2002 08:32 PM

Awesome news on the award - best actor - too cool. This is better than academy award because it's underground film - films by folks with more than two iq points to rub together.

Posted by: zer0 at August 19, 2002 08:34 PM

Hey there Wil!

Here is a site you may have seen or not www.wrongwaygoback.com/paraphernalia/ftww

I found it to be laughable ;-0


by the way..."SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE"!

Enjoy your dinner.

Posted by: redrhinox at August 19, 2002 08:38 PM

Best Actor *AND* the opportunity to knock He Of The One Tooth on his purple ass?

Yours is the life of Reilly, my friend.

'Grats on all good things!

Posted by: Gwalchmai at August 19, 2002 08:51 PM

While "Best Actor" is obviously a good start, you must be disappointed you missed out on some of the more prestigious awards MUFF was offering, like "Most Gratuitous Sex", or "Best Use of the Guerilla Aesthetic"

Posted by: Charles Miller at August 19, 2002 08:53 PM

Sweet looking GPS.

I'd never seen one that took external memory cards but it was just a matter of of time.

I do hope you're treating yourself to a 64 meg SD card and the US Maps CD too.

Is your old one for sale?

Posted by: Tim at August 19, 2002 09:09 PM

hey wil your last message entry thing, whatever you want to call it, made me want to go see "Jane white is Sick and Twisted" It looks good, hope you enjoyed your dinner!!!!

Posted by: Ericka at August 19, 2002 09:12 PM

Fourteenth Post! (-1, Off-Topic)

ObToady: That best actor bit is too cool for words...

Posted by: Joel Franklin at August 19, 2002 09:16 PM

I live in Melbourne.

How can I not already know about this?

Posted by: Hot Soup Girl at August 19, 2002 09:29 PM

Heads are going to roll, my friend.

LOL! Having just come here from Slashdot, I found that rather amusing. Or perhaps it's just that I'm a bit tired, and everything seems slightly amusing.

Hm...

As Wil once said, I don't like to post unless I have something I think is worth +5. (Of course, I'm paraphrasing... was that in the /. interview?)
I guess this post would have to be an exception to that rule.

Ah well, back to lurker mode.

Posted by: Da Schmiz at August 19, 2002 09:46 PM

Hey Wil, why didn't you say earlier that your movie was on at MUFF? I woulda gone and seen it!! Now I've missed my chance, curse it.

Congratulations

Posted by: Wilful at August 19, 2002 09:57 PM

can we all have a romantic dinner with your wife?

Spudz says we can..

Posted by: hops at August 19, 2002 11:12 PM

YAY! Congratulations on the award! And all the other good stuff... :)

Posted by: Toonces at August 19, 2002 11:38 PM

That musta been fun to write (all that html, yikes!)

And I hope that dinner with your wife was absolutely wonderful!

Posted by: Sunidesus at August 19, 2002 11:41 PM

Wil,

BEST ACTOR!!! YES!

ROMANTIC DINNER WITH THE WIFE! YES!

Say no more, say no more..

nudge nudge, wink wink..


and speaking of Elvis things...

the other day I saw this picture on the telly
then thought, "What the picture of Wil Wheaton
doin on the screen?"

turns out, and I hope others will agree...

I see a strong look of a young Elvis looking
Wil Wheaton... (with STNG Hair style)

even in Stand By Me... just look at old pictures
of Elvis in his pre-teen and teen years...

forgive me if I'm wrong Wil...

your are the "King" of "STNG"

Posted by: wade art at August 20, 2002 12:15 AM

Wil,

I can't thank you enough for defending my right to commit parody on the Internet. Without it, I'd hardly be able to leave any comments on your blog page.

It just kinda gets me right _here_. *sniff*

Sheesh, gotta follow all those links now ... Later!

Posted by: Drakensykh at August 20, 2002 12:23 AM

Wil.
Well done. I can't wait to see Jane White is Sick and Twisted. I'm a big fan of Colin Mochrie and Kim Little is gorgeous.
Nice work on the award...etc.

Posted by: Retardacus at August 20, 2002 12:36 AM

Ooooh... Magellan Meridian... I introduced my parents to caching in April, and that's the one they got... In 4 months they've found 220+ geocaches, and are ranked second in Australia!
Glad to read you're still having fun - have you made any travelbugs yet?

Posted by: JoMac at August 20, 2002 12:42 AM

Good luck in the celeb-boxing Wil... Beat that purple monstrosity into submission!!!

Posted by: Mordoc at August 20, 2002 12:55 AM

Yeah Yeah, the Meridian Platinum. When you introduced us to GeoCaching, that's what I went out and bought for myself so I could play too. Excellent device, never had a problem with it.

Posted by: Ken at August 20, 2002 01:18 AM

Damn, I haven't been to the DNA Lounge in ages. Heck, it seems I haven't been out of my house in ages.

But...for free speech on the internet & to see you kicking the purple ass out of Barney it'll be worth digging up a couple of bucks.

Hope you're training like Rocky by running up & down lots of steps in LA.

I pity da fool named Barney.

Posted by: Eyeno at August 20, 2002 02:07 AM

Hey wil
You made the news on zap2it.com

Have a nice dinner with your wife.

Posted by: Annie at August 20, 2002 02:30 AM

Now, why did they have to bring Dino into it? Poor, innocent, stone age pet. Jeez, the Barney folks need to loosen up! I wuold love to see ol' Wesley kick some purple dinosaur ass (just not Dino, I have a fond childhood attachment to the Flintstoes).

(ok, ignore me, its late & I'm tired & weird)

Posted by: the_goddess at August 20, 2002 02:53 AM

Yay Mr Wheaton on the best actor thingy. Australia loves you....apparently.
Does anybody know how difficult it is to buy the JWS&T Game. My god, im surprised you dont have to provide a DNA sample. Security is fine but this is excessive...going off topic, never mind. Anyway, one day it will arrive.

Enjoy your meal Mr Wheaton...

Posted by: EnglishBen at August 20, 2002 04:12 AM

Hi everyone.

I am a complete and utter asshole.

I have no life, I am a loser, and I hope to someday be able to find my own dick.

Posted by: FattyFat at August 20, 2002 05:11 AM

Hee hee ... Barney died ... hee hee.

Posted by: tj at August 20, 2002 05:28 AM

WELLLLLLLL we are busy little bee's aren't we?

But you see kids when he links all this stuff and then WE take the time to read it and check it out
etc...THAT means he can have even MORE time between HIS blog entries..MORE time for romantic
dinners.."so there."

YES I AM JEALOUS!!!

but in a good way...After that "cut" from "THAT
movie" you MORE than deserve a break..

it's just that I/we miss ya when you are gone..

AND what EVER happened in ALASKA anyway?
No report or a GAG order????

Posted by: bluecat/redblanket at August 20, 2002 05:52 AM

Congratulations on the Best Actor award from Germany, Wil. Good job. :)

Posted by: Gossip at August 20, 2002 06:14 AM

Ok, this is off topic, but I think there are three types of regulars here (and no, Spudnuts is not regular), and it applies to one of them.

Ok, since you asked.

1. People who admire Wesley Crusher.

2. People who admire Wil. That includes the homoerotic ones.

3. Gamer geeks.

Category three (guilty) also reads Penny Arcade, who now has a theme song. One that includes Wil. Check out this line:

"They said you're cheatin,
but with coins in hand,
you got more game than Wil Wheaton."

Well done Wil on the Best Actor award.
Did I hear Will was here in Ireland recently?

Dev.

Posted by: Dev at August 20, 2002 07:44 AM

OT-:-Second ever post and about fifth ever visit, what do I do?

Spell Wil's name wrong. :(

Don't I feel like a muppet.

Sorry Wil,

Dev.

Posted by: Dev at August 20, 2002 07:51 AM

Wil,
you're honestly the greatest real-life symbol of all things Star Trek.
You feel like comin to Canada for a (good) beer?

TP

Posted by: Tovy at August 20, 2002 08:06 AM

Recognition at last! Sweet!

Posted by: ze-mag at August 20, 2002 08:45 AM

Boy, it turns out that once wasn't enough for me, so I'm back to remind everyone that I don't get enough attention in real life.

It's sad that I'm such a fucking asshole. I could probably spend my time better, contributing something worthwhile to the universe.

Oh, and my IP is 198.26.120.13, which is a .mil address. Aren't you proud that your tax dollars are paying for me to waste your time and mine spamming a website?

Why don't you drop by for a visit? I think I'm a pretty fucking funny guy.

Posted by: FatGirlsRule at August 20, 2002 08:56 AM

Wil,
It looks like you had enough caffeine this week. What a busy schedule you maintain. Congrats on your award. It takes a smart busy man to still have time for his wife. I think I'll
get back to the linksssss. I'm about half-way done now.
F.G.

Posted by: Fabian at August 20, 2002 09:13 AM

Congrats on the award!
It must feel good.

I look forward to seeing Jane White in Toronto some time. We've got so many film festivals that it's bound to qualify for one.

Posted by: delphine at August 20, 2002 09:17 AM

Well I would watch The Screen Savers... however my cable system is lame and won't gimme TechTV....

I must go beat them now...

Moose

Posted by: Moose at August 20, 2002 09:47 AM

got my tickets for the barney thing already. My money's on Barney, cause you're short, Will, but my friend in NJ has made mailed me a fiver to put on you.

Posted by: Harley at August 20, 2002 10:53 AM

Melbourne ROCKS! Best city in the world!

Congrats Will on the award at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival, now you simply HAVE no choice. You must come to Melbourne and hang with all of us who love you Down Under. Make sure you bring a copy of everything you've ever been in and we can make a weekend of it!

Find the next convention playing in Melbourne, and beg to be a part of it!

Posted by: AussieBlonde at August 20, 2002 11:21 AM

Fark...
I just realised that "bring a copy of everything you've ever been in and we'll make a weekend of it..." could sound really... erm... bad! *blush*

Do be assured that I am sure everything you've ever been in would take longer than 48 to view! Considering you were in four years of TNG!

Um... did I mention I was blonde?

*slinks out of the room*

Posted by: AussieBlonde at August 20, 2002 11:26 AM

Sacramento is th land of Muscle cars, mullets and tank tops? I thought that was reserved for New Jersey??? Oh wait, I traded in my Iroq in 1989.

Seriously, Chicks In Crisis sounds like a good deal.

Have a great week Wil!

Posted by: Helen at August 20, 2002 11:37 AM

Wil...congrats on the "Jane" film and the award. I'll look for you on Tech TV if I'm home, but you coulda bothered to mention that Liz Hurley is going to be on TSS tomorrow night!!! I'm setting up the freakin TIVO for that! The hotest mom on the planet, IMO.

Ruger

Posted by: Ruger at August 20, 2002 01:06 PM

Wil,

The thought of you swinging away, no, bashing away at Barney has got to be the best thing I have ever heard of. Please do us all a favor and kick the dinosaurs big purple ass.

Also, congrats on the award, and nice birthday gift your getting yourself. Go ahead and spoil yourself.

Have a great rest of the week Wil.

Until your next post......

Matt......

Posted by: Matt at August 20, 2002 01:15 PM

Wow, Wil...The Screen Savers...you're in "The Big Time" (tm). :)

Posted by: turtles11 at August 20, 2002 02:11 PM

Hey Will,

Congrats on all your acomplishments - good to hear.

Curious wants to know - what was in that scene of yours that fell to the floor in Nemesis??

Posted by: pfb at August 20, 2002 02:44 PM

Hey Wil,

Congrates on the award,
Hope you and anne have a great meal

Posted by: Matt at August 20, 2002 03:26 PM

It's about time someone recognizes your talent.
One down, two more to go. Congrats.

Posted by: angry penguin at August 20, 2002 05:55 PM
