The World of Vinny Mac

-Cop Show: Now On Youtube.com-

2006-06-01T18:31:00.000-05:00

I uploaded the episodes of Cop Show I had onto youtube. These are the same episodes I had previously put onto Google Video, so nothing's changed.
I've been thinking of uploading the other episodes, but they are pretty raw.

Cop Show Guy vs. Vinny Mac: Action Card Game. Or, The Only Thing You'll Be Collecting... Is a Fist to the Face!

2006-05-30T00:18:00.000-05:00

So, me and some friends have started to think up of ideas based around a Cop Show Guy vs. Vinny Mac card game. Pretty much, we're looking toward the WWE Raw Deal system, with a few tweaks/additions. We're looking for six characters playable in the first set, with a Cop Show and Vinny Mac brand. With three in each.
The characters are: Cop Show Guy, Bad Guy, F.B.I. Guy (he appeared in one episode of Cop Show), Vinny Mac, Ginny Mac, and Tony Green (never appeared in the Chronicles, but was created for the Vinny Mac universe).

The Chronicles of Vinny Mac Redux. Or, The Six Million Dollar Mac.

2006-05-19T06:50:00.000-05:00

So, with the death of The War Journal of Anthony Frank (though I still plan on attempting it one day), I am going to try to start my remake of The Chronicles. Better than it was before. Better, faster, stronger.
Err, sorry, my mind wandered.
Pretty much, the first story will remain basically the same. With a few changes. And from there, most of the stories will be changed, except three, I think. The one that introduced Ginny Mac. I will also attempt at giving Vinny Mac a weakness. Like kryptonite to Super Man, or yellow to the Green Lantern. Although, the chances of it being a single color are slim to none. Plus Vinny won't be hit in the head every story, unlike Hal Jordan. I'm surprised he never developed a concussion or something.

New Movie Idea. Or, I'm Going to Hell For This.

2006-05-06T08:25:00.000-05:00

The Nazi's killed his family, and he's back for revenge. The only things he has ever loved, gone in a second right before his eyes. One man against an army, and a sadistic leader.
Can he survive?
Can he avenge his family?

Coming Summer...

2006-05-01T06:32:00.000-05:00

I've been thinking more of Shironihairu, and the more I though, the harder ideas came. So, I'm going to stop thinking about it for a while, and maybe ideas will start to flow again. Instead, I'll be offering short random stories. Like, Chronicles short, but without anything to do with Vinny Mac.
Some of them will probably come easy, most I'll likely be pulling from out my ass. So, enjoy the crap that is about to ensue. Like I said before; Vinny Mac's World, where quality matters not.

Proof of God. Or, God Isn't a Myth, I Have Seen Him!

2006-04-29T06:14:00.000-05:00

I used to be an Agnostic up until five minutes ago, when I realized that their is a God. It came from the most unlikely of places too. No, it's not a banana. Cheese. Specifically, Provel.
There's the Holy Trinity of religion, composed of the father, the son, and the holy ghost. Then there's the Holy Trinity of cheese. Cheddar, Provolone, and Swiss. Three figures in religion, three cheeses. It can't be a coincidence.

At least my reason doesn't leave room for sexual innuendos, like the banana...

Okay, so this was a joke. I'm still Agnostic, but hey, this is the closest proof you'll ever see to the existence of a God. Plus Provel could not have been created by one God, it took three cheeses. The least amount of Gods I'll accept is four. One for each cheese, and the fourth to handle the cheese in a most careful manner. Like transporting a nuclear weapon, if there were no safety features on it.

Amalgam Part 2: Electric Boogaloo. Or, How to Make a Better Crossover Series.

2006-04-28T05:58:00.000-05:00

The one problem I have with the Amalgam universe is: Either they took popular or similar characters and combined them. It's boring. So, you have two people who call the sea their homes... Let's combine them into the same damn character they were, but give them a stupid name like Aquamariner! Or my favorite, Galatiac...
NO! It's stupid! DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!

This is a good idea:
1) Take two dartboards and hang them on the wall.
2) Paste pictures of different Marvel characters on one. DC on the other.
3) Take a man who's never played darts before and blindfold him (this will grant almost 100% randomocity).
4) Take each character that was hit, and combine them.
5) Do the same for villains.

Out of the series, the only two that come to mind that were different in a way were Darkclaw (hey the two most popular characters!), and the greatest character to ever grace comics:
Lobo the Duck. That's total randomness. That's brilliant. That's something that I'd buy (though, I didn't. I'm not really into comics much, I just read the Essentials).

The idea was awesome, combining characters from both universes sounded like a good idea. But it failed worst than a one armed man in a juggling contest. This is a shout out to the respective owners/leaders/whatever them kids today call themselves:
Try it again. It was a good idea, but make it random.

And yes, I understand that the whole concept was around the Versus part of the series, but come on, that too was dumb. It was the same thing I mentioned above. They should have made the whole thing random. Face Super Man and Hawkeye... Somehow I think even ole Hawky'd get his hands on Kryptonite. Everyone does these days, yet it's one of the rarest substances in the DC universe. That's another thing you guys need to look at.

All this writing made me want to make a comic combining the two greatest heroes in the history of mankind...
Cop Show Guy + Vinny Mac = Cop Show Mac!

Vinny Mac's Five Steps to Writing a Successful Fan Fic. Or, Five Steps! Five Steps! Five Steps! Five Steps! Five Steps to a Successful Fan Fic.

2006-04-22T11:40:00.000-05:00

Step One: Pick a popular franchise.
Something that will grab the populous into reading. It doesn't matter if there are ten or ten thousand stories written on the subject, people never get tired of popular franchises. For example, Final Fantasy. More specifically, Seven.

Step Two: Pick the most popular character in the franchise.
This is a double shot. Not only is it a popular franchise, but by picking the most popular character, you'll even be grabbing the attention of those who aren't die-hard fans. In this example, Cloud.

Step Three: Teleportation.
In some point, usually the end, the main character should be teleported into the real World. Generally outside and arcade, or a place with access to an arcade. See next step.

Step Four: DDR.
Yes, Dance Dance Revolution. This is a must folks. I can't tell you how many fan fics I've read that had no dance off. No matter how good a story it is up to this point, this is an automatic DQ. The main character is challenged by, or challenges, the author. Always have the author win, since you wrote it you can be as egotistical as you want. People understand this. Also have some cheesy line the character said in the franchise at one point.

Step Five: Sex.
More importantly, gay sex. Even if you yourself are female (unless the main character is female), this is the part where you unravel that you are really male. The main character is fine with this, (S)he actually prefers homosexual encounters, but was always afraid to tell their friends. Be specific about details people. Use different terms for the human reproductive organs constantly, we may forget what's going on and need constant reminders. Remember this rhyme: Under four, add one more. Having five, you will strive.

So remember, no matter how popular something is, or how many fictions already exist, there is still much more room for yours. But only if it involves teleportation to a DDR arcade with gay sex right afterwards. Be sure to praise to me when you start making the big bucks with this guide. Go ahead and tell your friends. I'm always here to help.

-Edit-
I have been asked by my friend to write a fan fiction based off my steps. I'll try. But let me level with you. Me and gay sex don't really look eye to eye. It'll take me some time to finish.

-Edited 4/28-
Yeah, I don't think it'll happen. Only if someone writes in the gay sex part, and all the other gay innuendos. I'm not touching those with a ten foot pole.

Almost Ready to Start Writing Again. Or, Damn You Dynasty Warriors.

2006-04-04T05:53:00.000-05:00

So for the last few days, hours each, I've been busy re-playing DW5, trying to get every item and every weapon. Well, I'm close to finishing. Need just a few items from XL, and about half the 5th weapons. First up, I'll get started on Shironihairu. I've pretty much figured out how I'll start it. I just need to get writing.
Now, for those of you who know about the Japanese culture I must warn you: I know little. So, if I offend people with my story, tough. It wasn't written for you. My writing is pretty much only done because: A) I want to write it and B) I wrote it before any of my friends did.
In layman terms: Vinny Mac cares not for the fans, for he does not write for people that are not him. You like it, good. You hate it, good.

2006-03-31T05:19:00.000-06:00

So, it's been four days now since Cartoon Network first aired Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos. And I have to say this: At first, yeah I didn't like Super Globetrotters, mostly because they took away Lupin and threw in Trigun, then showed the Gary Coleman Show. I have nothing against Trigun, it was good three years ago when it first aired. But it's like ordering a five course meal, and having the waiter tell you that you can only have three items out of the five. Anyways back to the Trotters. It started to grow on me. I started to actually want to watch it.
Then, the powers that be decided to take it off and put in this crap. But at least they were smart enough to bump Champloo and Trigun ahead a half hour, taking away Coleman. Still, that was not enough to warrant a watching of KK. But as your savior, I'm putting my body, mind, and soul on the line here to watch this crap so you don't have to. Unless of course you happen to be one of my friends, then you'll be watching it tomorrow (Saturday). Hey, if I have to go through this pain, so do you.
Meh, I was going to post a picture of the 'toon, but then I realized I have to do a search for Karate Kommandos that has nothing to do with an episode guide. Speaking of... There were only five episodes ever made. That right there tells you this is a quality cartoon. And the order that CN aired them went 3-4-5-1, and I guess 2 will be on Sunday morning. They couldn't even air them in order.

In other news, I'm again working on getting the font colors down. I'm doing a litter here, a little there, so it'll take some time before I finish.

The Chronicles of Vinny Mac: Chapter 7 - Friday. Or, Chapter 7 - Final Fight. -PART TWO-

2006-03-24T17:09:00.000-06:00

Both combatants arrived to "The Dome" on time. Ginny Mac was talking smack about Vinny Mac before the fight, claiming he'd win without breaking a sweat. Vinny Mac casually entered the ring, not worried one bit. Then, the bell rang to signal the fight.
The fight started off one sided with Ginny Mac kicking the crap out of Vinny Mac.
"What's the matter Vinny Mac? You're nothing without your Yoo-Hoo! The name of Mac is rightfully mine, and I will kill you to get it!"
The crowd was in disbelief, shocked that Vinny Mac was being beaten so easily. Ginny Mac paused again, picked up a downed Vinny Mac and asked him a question.
"Who's the master?" No reply. "I asked, who's the master?"
"Not...[cough] you."
Ginny Mac, pissed, kicked Vinny Mac in the stomach, causing him to squirm. The crowd no longer could stand idle and just watch. They started a chant of "Vinny Mac", trying to get him back in the fight. This caused Ginny Mac to flinch, and yell at the crowd.
"No, shut up! He can't win! He's too badly beaten!" Just then, a bottle flew through "The Dome", landing in Vinny Mac's hand.
The bottle turned out to be the last remaining Yoo-Hoo, and Vinny Mac quickly drank it. Vinny Mac kipped up, and ran to Ginny Mac. He started off with a few left jabs, and some right crosses to stagger Ginny Mac. Ginny Mac then cried out for mercy, but Vinny Mac ignored him, and continued to punch at him.
"I thought you were the good one?" Ginny Mac sobbed.
"Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun." Vinny Mac responded, then pulled a shotgun from his back, and shot Ginny Mac. Ginny Mac's body flew a hundred yards, and landed with a thud. Ginny Mac did not stand up, signaling his defeat.
The crowd erupted in cheers, thankful that Vinny Mac overcame the odds to win the battle. The week came to a close, and Vinny Mac decided to take some time off to rest. He deserves it.
---

Thus ends The Chronicles of Vinny Mac. I hoped you enjoyed reading it, as much as I did writing it. This also ends the exclusivity of my writing here, and I'll be posting the crude trailer for Cop Show Guy vs. Vinny Mac in a day or so. The part where Ginny asks Vinny who the master is, was taken from The Last Dragon, which I had watched recently as I wrote these. And I also quoted from Army of Darkness with the gun part, which I also had just seen when I was writing.

In the next few days, I'll be changing the styles on the site around. This is the default that I chose, and I've been wanting to see what the others look like.
So, don't get scared if/when you see the site being changed around. I'll get set on something as soon as I find something good.

In other news, I jacked myself in the face last night at work, and cut just below my lower lip on the inside. Now my bottom jaw hurts.

*So far, the following few posts look good. Brown will be for writing, green for regular posts, and the blue for notes. If people have a problem, drop me a line and tell me. I'll be glad to look for other combos. Maybe when I have even more time, I can change edits to a fourth color.

Vinny Mac woke up suddenly, with a cold sweat.
"Ginny." He said. But Ginny Mac was dead, right?
Well, not exactly. He survived that explosion somehow, and now he's back for revenge! And alcohol... Lot's of it! But mostly, revenge!
The next morning, Vinny Mac drove to the old building. Well, it wasn't really that old, but still, it was destroyed. Ginny Mac was back, and it still puzzled Vinny Mac how he was able to survive after seeing the destruction. If Ginny Mac survived this, the battle would require more than Yoo-Hoo alone. It would require Yoo-Hoo and... Starbursts. Vinny Mac drove to the nearest QuickTrip, but was in for a surprise.
"I'm sorry, we're all out of Yoo-Hoo and Starbursts. They were bought out by... By you!?"
Oh no, this is bad. The fate of the World is in Vinny Mac's hands, and he doesn't have the essentials to stop this mad man.
"Oh, by the way here's the note you wanted me to give you."
Vinny Mac read the note. 'So much for your power now. Being in the rubble made me sober, and unleashed my true powers! Without your Yoo-Hoo and Starburst, you will not stand a chance against me. Now it is your time to die!"
Ginny Mac took away all that was precious to Vinny Mac, this time he went too far. Well, the first time was pretty far, but not as far as this time. Vinny Mac picked up a newspaper that was on the ground, and read the headline.
"Ginny vs. Vinny: The Battle For the Name 'Mac'" The fight was being held at six tonight, in "The Dome." Vinny Mac had little time to prepare, so he slept for three hours, then headed down to "The Dome."

This is Part One of the Series Finale. At the time I decided to bring back Ginny Mac for one final battle to end the story. I didn't actually write the ending to be open to sequels, which is why I'm going to be changing this around when I make the script for it. I am editing some things to make it easier to read, but the basic outline is the same. And I am leaving the original ending in, after thinking of changing it to leave it open for a Legends sequel. Part Two will be up after I find page two, and copy it up here. And it will signal out my exclusivity of posting my writing here.
*If I cannot find Page 2 by Sunday, I will go on and continue my plans. I'll still look for it, but I don't fell like putting everything aside to look for it.

-Update on Shironihairu, and News on the Chronicles-

2006-03-17T17:32:00.000-06:00

*Edited 3/19/06

So, I've been thinking of using a Ska based theme for Shironihairu, much like Blues and Rap were used for Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo respectfully. Since, I tend to love Ska so much. Now, before anyone bitches to me about how much Ska sucks, listen: You must have never heard anything good then. Yes, there is a lot of crap out there, pretty much more so than a lot of other genres, maybe except Rap (there's a lot of crap floating around there). You need to look hard for something good in the Ska section (just like Rap), if there is one at your local record store (unlike Rap).
My recommendations, just to name a few:

Catch-22
Reel Big Fish
Skatalites
Streetlight Manifesto
Sublime
Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra
The Urge

After listening to them, if you can honestly say that Ska sucks, you sir, have terrible taste in music.

*~~In other news, I should have Chapter Seven finished probably around Sunday, so check back in then.~~ I've misplaced page two of Chapter seven. I'm thinking of just posting part one now, and act like it's a two-part Series Finale of sorts. I'll finish it up later and post it sometime tomorrow (Monday).
I've written a rough outline for the trailer to Cop Show Guy vs. Vinny Mac, and after tweaking it, will upload it here, and Skydrop Gunshot (which I always call Gunship, sounds much awesomer.)
I'll attempt at getting something, anything, written about once a week there. Even if it is just a crappy three paragraph P.O.S.

St. Patrick's Day. Or, More Like Lame Patrick's Day!

2006-03-16T15:18:00.000-06:00

So, tomorrow is the day that St. Patrick converted Ireland to Christianity. And we, as Americans, celebrate it by wearing a ton of green, eating cornbeef and cabbage, and drinking our self stupid.
Why is this a holiday? There's 365 days in the year (366 on a leap), what's so special about getting drunk on one day?
Yes, I can understand those that have ties with the Irish, or even Welsh (Since that's where Patrick was from.) Heck, even them Christians can get in on it, since they're celebrating the converting of their followers.
But why should I, as an Agnostic, with no ties to Ireland/Whales, plaster myself for the amusement of others?
This holiday is lame, and it's a wonder how this beat out Theodore Roosevelt birthday. Which, as President I will try to establish.

One Dollar on Oral Grants You Sextillion. Or, Sex and Oral in the Same Sentence!?

2006-03-16T13:47:00.000-06:00

So, apparently the odds of Oral Roberts winning the NCAA tournament is Sextillion:One, or is it One:Sextillion? You get the point.
If you bet one dollar, and they win, you'd get back sextillion. Think about it. For just pennies a day, would grant you pretty much unlimited wealth for you and your family...
If they won, of course.

So, here's to you Oral. Win this one for the gipper.

-Random Thought and Picture-

2006-03-16T07:02:00.000-06:00

There's one area in America I've always considered us slacking in, next to Japan. Well, not just Japan, but pretty much the whole world, but mostly Japan.
Automotives? No.
Electronics? No.
Steel? Not even close. You're closer with electronics.

I'm talking: Commercials. Now, half of it may be due to not understand what the item (if there is one) being advertised is. But generally most of the commercials I see are either: Boring (I'm sorry, I could have said the same thing in five seconds), uninformative (Okay, you want me to buy this medicine, but what does it do?), or just outright stupid (Alright, I no longer have to feel alone with my pregnancy. Wait a minute...)
Let's take a look at the good:
-Vault. Two excellent commercials from this drink. Maybe it's because I hate hippies, or that they really are funny.
-Reebock's "Terrible" Terry Tate. Sure, these are four minutes or so, but they're still good enough to warrant a whole watchful. Even if these were on TV, I'd sit down and watch it all.
-The various Mario, and Smash Bros. Other commercials I enjoyed and would sit through, waiting until the crap came on to get up and use the bathroom.

Now, even those (well, Triple T comes close) don't touch Sega's Saturn mascot. Yes. The one, the only Segata Sanshiro. A judo master, he would go around the streets of Japan and beat up any one he saw not playing video games. There were ten or so during the span of the Saturn, and even a finale, which ushered in his own video game. Yes, Sega gave him his own game. He was that over. When was the last time a commercial got their own game in America? NEVER!

---

The solitary man who devoted his soul to the way of games
Today, he comes again
He will punish those who do not play seriously
Their battered bodies will never forget!

[chorus] Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!

They play tennis, sing karaoke, flirt around in clubs...
Are there not more serious tasks to be done?
Those who do not play maturely
He questions them deep inside their hearts

Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!

(voice of Segata)
Youngsters... Is there something in your life you are completely devoted to? Something you sink into so deep you put your life on the line? You must play Sega Saturn! Play... Until your fingers break! Until your fingers break!

Even if they chase after sex, that petty pleasure
Their soul will remain hollow
Those who do not immerse themselves to the extreme in gaming
Will find their bodies beaten harshly!

Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!

The white clouds floating on the great blue sky
And the boiling red blood shed in fierce gaming
Those who give up halfway through
Their battered bodies will never forget!

Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!
Segata Sanshiro, Segata Sanshiro! Sega Saturn... shiro!

Haven't Been Feeling Too Good the Past Few Days. Or, Desert Bus Killed My Immune System

2006-03-15T03:41:00.000-06:00

I've been feeling the effects of a cold, or possibly the flu coming in. My head hurts at times, my muscles ache, and my nose doesn't know when to stop running. Probable causes: Saturday I was over at a friends house playing the awesome Desert Bus, and one of them wasn't feeling too good. So, I probably got it from him.
Needless to say, I won't be on for a while. It sucks too since I was busy last week trying to get a mod working for Civ IV, but failed... Twice. I've pretty much given up on it for now. For my writing, taking some time off to get better will help my brain think of an intro for Shironihairu. The names, I'm willing to just pull from modern times. Listen, the samurai rides a polar bear, names are the least of accuracy worries.

Vinny Mac Found a Better Gig? Or, Hey, I'm Just Doing This For a Friend.

2006-03-09T04:08:00.000-06:00

*[Edited 3/10/06]
**[Edited 3/11/06]

So, I was invited by my friend to join his blog.
-Does that mean less Mac to go around?
OF COURSE NOT! Vinny Mac never turns his back on his fans! Well, unless he's walking away from them to stop those damned Space Pirates.

-So, what will I be doing there?
Probably the same reason I originally made this blog: To post my Vinny Mac, and other short stories. I'll still continue to post them here, as well as there. But I will only post my random topics here. So, my Random Thought and Pictures are exclusive to here.

-What do I have planned for my first post over at Skydrop Gunshot?
~~I dunno. Probably the introduction of The Legends of Vinny Mac.~~
*I have come up with, hopefully, a better idea. I will instead introduce a short little introduction to ~~Shiroireru~~ Shironihairu. Which, I am told, roughly translates to Into the White, from Japanese. It's about a samurai who searches for his family's killer, only to get lost at sea and stranded on the Arctic. I'm still working on the basic plot outline, check on it in a week or so.
**An even better idea: About a year, or two, ago I typed a mock trailer for Cop Show Guy vs. Vinny Mac. Well, I'm going to repost it. And since I have forgotten most of it, and it wasn't saved, it will be like new!
I'll post it about the time after Chapter 7 is up. It's pretty rough, since I haven't started the script, so bear with me.

-What about those awesome topic intros? You know, the ones with two titles?
I'll probably keep them here, another Mac exclusive.

So, remember kids, same Mac time, same Mac channel. Until next time!

FIFA World Cup. Or, Are You Ready For Some Football!?

2006-03-08T21:14:00.000-06:00

Well, it's been four years since the last World Cup... In three months. It's going to suck for me, being the times are early morning (for me), around noon. I'll be sleepy for some time, as I'm sure I'll watch as many games as I can. The first two games, I saw, are going to be Germany/Costa Rica and Poland/Ecuador on June 9th. United States won't be playing until the 12th, against Czech Rep.

From the looks of things, the latest games will be 2 pm, while the earliest are 8 am. Yeah, I'll probably be very tired during this tournament.

-Preview of The Macars-

2006-03-05T03:06:00.000-06:00

I'm bringing back my award ceremony after a few years hiatus. I'm going to be a little brief this year, and see how it goes. If it's well, I may add a few more the next year, etc. But for now, the ones I am doing are the following categories (maybe more in edits):

Edit 3/8/06

Okay, so I got a little ahead of myself. I looked back and realized: I have not seen a movie from October to now. Also, I tend not to go after those that the Academy goes for in terms of handing out awards. So, more or less, this is a Least-Offensive Award ceremony. Still, I figure I have seen/played enough through the years to keep the Best of All Time up.

~~Best~~ Least-Offensive Film of the Year
Best Film of All Time

~~Best~~ Least-Offensive Video Game
Best Video Game of All Time

~~Best~~ Least-Offensive Music Album
best Music Album of All Time

~~Best~~ Least-Offensive TV Show
Best TV Show of All Time

I'll have ~~around 4-6~~ as many nominees as I can get for each, limiting to what I have seen/played, and around October decide the winners in different posts. I'll post nominees around September, which will go back to last October.

Many moons had passes since the worms went to war.
Onwards and upwards, bigger weapons than before.
Boggy B took cover, he shivered on patrol.
The arms race crazy, simply way out of control.

Then his friend threw it, the latest device.
Boggy B went and got it, against all advice - "What the...?"
BOOM!
His tail was split, and his energy lost.
How many more will this dreaded war cost?

Then came the nuke, and the disease tumbling down.
If the bug didn't get you, you'd probably drown.
But the worms battled on, through hunger and pain.
Living to fight, just to victor again.

And now it's the curtain call, the final onslaught,
No better bullet could you possibly have bought.
But spare a thought for Boggy and with it his friend.
So fight with their honour, and fight until the end!

Worms was an awesome series.

The Chronicles of Vinny Mac: Chapter 6- Saturday. Or, Chapter 6- Mactalica.

2006-03-04T04:56:00.000-06:00

After a hard days work, Vinny Mac decided to go to Best Buy, and buy something.
But he was stuck. He couldn't decide whether to buy Army of Darkness: Collector's Special Edition, or Army of Darkness: Special Collector's Edition. They both had the same features, same length, and packaging. But they were both numbered 1/1000. So, Vinny Mac decided to buy both.
As he walked to the checkout, he saw the super-mega group Metallica! He walked up to them, buy was stopped by Bill Gates. He spoke.
"I'm so ashamed of you guys. You and your Gamestations, and Playcubes. Macenux and Lintosh crap. I've decided to pay off Metallica to destroy everything that's not part of Microsoft. And first up, is you Vinny Mac!"
Lars walked up to Vinny Mac, "Is that one of those Napster machines in your hands?" Looking at the DVD's Vinny Mac held. Lars slapped them out of his hands, and was about to stomp on it, but Vinny Mac kicked Lars, and nailed him with the Mac Cutter. Hetfield ran up, but got hit by the Mac Stunner. Gates was frozen, as Vinny Mac turned to him.
Gates tried to run, but Vinny Mac was able to grab him, turn him around, and nail the Mac Down on him. The Earth split, and Bill Gates slipped through the crack, never to be heard from again.
Steve Jobs walked up, and shook Vinny Mac's hand. Vinny Mac slapped him, Jobs fell to the ground from the impact, and said, "No one touches Vinny Mac. You got it?"
Metallica then walked up to Vinny Mac and spoke. "Thank you. We saw the error in our ways, and want to make it up to the people. After all, that is what music is about. It's not about making millions of dollars. It's about making good music for our fans to listen to after a hard days work." Vinny Mac was about to walk away. "Oh, and those DVD's are on us. Just to say thanks again."
Vinny Mac save the day, again, but what does tomorrow have in store?

---

This story takes place during the whole Napter v. Metallica thing. I just took it, and ran it into the ground, along with Bill Gates. Why? I don't know, lack of ideas I guess. I warned you before the Chronicles got crappy. The whole deal with the AoD DVD's is, well, I pretty much own every North American released version of it. The only one I don't, is the one with the Japanese art. I have the VHS of that.
Up next is the final chapter in the Chronicles, and I don't remember how bad it was. I haven't read any of these until I start writing them. I only remember bits and parts, and how bad they turned into.

Edit 3/5/06

Meh, forgot to add about those three wrestling moves.
The Mac Cutter is just the Diamond Cutter/RKO.
The Mac Stunner is from No Mercy/Wrestlemania 2000, it was one of Vince McMahon's moves. Just a Stunner, but with one arm.
The Mac Down is the move I use in pretty much every wrestling game that has the Bossman Slam/Scrapbuster Pin.

Penn and Teller: Now in Video Game Form! Or, I Played This Game For Eight Hours, and All I Got Was This Lousy Shirt.

2006-03-02T04:05:00.000-06:00

http://www.waxy.org/archive/2006/02/28/penn_tel.shtml

I wonder why the game was never released, it sounded like GotY material from me.

X Japan: The Musical! Or, Instrumentals Kick Ass.

2006-02-28T18:58:00.000-06:00

So, I recently found some orchestrated versions of a few X Japan songs. And, I'll admit, I'm not really a huge fan of theirs, but I do love the instrumental versions. Maybe it's because I'm a sucker for a good orchestrated piece of music. I don't know the album, or even who made it, but I do know that in the Big Book of Kick Ass Songs, Endless Rain has risen a couple hundred points.

The Chronicles of Vinny Mac: Chapter 5 - Friday. Or, Chapter 5 - The Lost Chapter.

2006-02-28T18:49:00.000-06:00

First and foremost, this is not the actual story. I have mentioned a few times already, I threw it out because it was beyond crap. So, as some compensation, I'm going to summarize it to the best of my knowledge.

---

It started out with Vinny Mac at work, in a movie theater (which was my actual job at the time). Vinny goes on his usually check of the theaters, and sees a man pacing around, with a funny haircut and mustache. Finally, it dawns on Vinny Mac, that he's looking at Hitler (See!? Even early on I knew it was bad), and chases him into one of the theaters. Hitler manages to enter the projection screen, and Vinny Mac follows (Looking back, I think I recently watched Last Action Hero). Vinny Mac learns that Hitler found a way to leave the movie world, and enter the real world to continue his devotion to eradicate the all Jews. Vinny Mac stops him, and goes back home.

So, there you go. Now, never speak of this again.

City of Heroes Vinny Mac. Or, What do You Mean by Lighting?

2006-02-25T06:58:00.000-06:00

To get it out of the way, and before I get asked: "What do you mean "City of Heroes Vinny Mac?""
I made Vinny Mac in City of Heroes back when I played, don't bother looking I cancelled my account. The backstory, that I remember:
While protecting a nuclear power plant from terrorists, Vinny Mac accidentally drank a contaminated Yoo-Hoo granting him controll over lighting. Vinny Mac decided to move away from St. Louis, and head toward [whatever the city was] and fight crime there. [some random blabbing went here]

Notes:
-Vinny Mac was the founder of Auqa Teen Hunger Force on the Freedom server. We reached five unique characters. It was funny, since I got started months into the game, and AQHF was popular then.
-Cop Show Guy was made as well, though hardly played.
-The costume kicked ass. All blue, with yellow lighting over it. I wore a half mask that covered my face, but not the hair. I had one of the armor sets for the rest I think. Like I said it's been a while.
-I only got to level 30 before I got sick at the grinding of the game. Missions were a joke after 20. Maybe even before then.

Do you remember when the Garfield comic was funny?
Neither do I.
Well, that was until I found out about the Garfield Randomizer. But then a day later it was closed/hacked/whatever'd. It's stupid having to look at that crappy comic now, and realise "I'll never laugh at this again", even it if was just a day. Seriously, Jim Davis isn't a cartoonist. Garfield was created as a marketing device, and a damn fine one at that. He gets my respect as a marketer, but not a cartoonist. Hell, when was the last time HE even drew one? Now, he has a time to draw, ink, and color it in while he cashes in on all the deals.
If, I mean when, there's a Cop Show Guy vs. Vinny Mac cartoon, you better damn beleive we won't be sitting idle when people are sweating away creating the strip. We won't be sitting in our expensive leather sofas, drinking exspensive alcoholic beverages, smoking expensive cigars, being fanned by woman in expen... You get the idea. For the sake of humanity, and I know this won't get anything done, open the site back up. Let people laugh at Garfield for once in their lives. Do it for the people, the Rock, and for yourself.

PS-The best random comic was:
1) Garfield laying down
2) Jon telling him he has a date
3) Jon saying on the phone: "Hello Mom."

And now, the picture:

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr. Davis.

The Chronicles of Vinny Mac: Chapter 4 - Thursday. Or, Chapter 4 - Dial 10, Then 10 Again for Asskicking.

2006-02-25T06:18:00.000-06:00

The Morning News came as a shock to Vinny Mac.
"Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola have merged together, and have upped the price for leasing soda plants. In turn, Dr. Pepper/7Up is being forced into bankruptcy."
No! It can't be! Vinny Mac's favorite drink, of the carbonated kind is no more, gone forever! Well, not if Vinny Mac can stop it, which he will. Just right after his morning Yoo-Hoo...
...Okay, he's done. Vinny Mac started to leave, when the reporter hollered: "Hey, get back here. I'm not done." Vinny Mac stopped, and looked back at the television. "Carrot Top has raised Atlantis, to be used as a base of operations for Call ATT."
Not Carrot Top! First Hanson, now this! Then, the phone rang.
"Hey, this is Terry Bradshaw." The man spoke.
"Huh?" Vinny Mac asked.
"Former quarterback for the Steelers. Now I'm stuck doing these 10-10-220 commercials with Mike Piazza."
"Eww." Vinny Mac let out in disgust.
"We'll pay you a dollar to kill Carrot Top. Because, you know with a dollar you can get a twen..." Vinny Mac hung up the phone. Vinny Mac would have done it for free, but a dollar can buy a Yoo-Hoo in these parts. Today would be a very busy day.
First, destroy Coca-Pepsi. Or, at least split it back up. Only one way this could be changed: The Supreme Court! The only problem was, Vinny Mac isn't a full time judge, only a reserve. What, with saving the world and all. The only way he could vote, is if someone got sick.
He called the other judges to an emergency meeting. All showed up, except one. The fat-cat judge who gets paid off by big businesses, who happened to be out with the flu, meaning Vinny Mac would take his place. With grunts, mumbles, and whispers, they exchanged words. Then, one spoke.
"They can't do that! It's just not right." Everyone else agreed. They left it to Vinny Mac to make the right decision, and the right thing he did.
Vinny Mac separated Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola, and brought back Dr. Pepper. Plus, Coca Cola was forced to bring back regular Mr. Pibb, and Pepsi had to bring Slice back. The whole world was happy, for a while. For you see, Carrot Top was busy.
Carrot Top was building a machine, that controlled the minds of humans to dial 1-800-CALL-ATT, while some monkeys were affected as well.
Vinny Mac traveled to Atlantis, which was off the shore of Guam. He walked up to Carrot Top and Carrot Top said: "Dial down the center. Do it! Do it now!" So Vinny Mac went down the center. The center of Carrot Top's stomach. Vinny Mac cut off his head, and brought back with him to Bradshaw.
"Show us the evidence, and we'll give you the dollar." Bradshaw spoke.
Vinny Mac pulled out the head, and amazingly it turned the others to stone. So, Vinny Mac put the head away, took the dollar, and left. Vinny Mac called the representatives to Dr. Pepper, and talked them into moving to Atlantis, where they'd never be bothered again.
"That's a great idea, there will be no lease so we'll be able to make more soda. And the head of Carrot Top is sure to detour any intruders!" We thank you Vinny Mac, and the world does too."
Vinny Mac went home and fell asleep.
He had work tomorrow.

---
Ten minutes late, so sue me.
This was chapter four in the series. I left it pretty much alone, up until the final chapters. There was one sentence I couldn't make out, so I left it out. As you can see, I'm a Dr. Pepper man, and can't really stand colas that much. I also hated those 1-800 commercials, and thankfully don't see them anymore. Coincidence? I think not! As I said before, I don't have chapter five, so I'll just post a summary sometime in the future. Basically, it was an attempt to show Vinny Mac's working side, at a movie theater (since that was where I was working at the time). If there's time, I'll post chapter six afterwards. Seven will be in a few weeks, since I'm trying to cut down on posting. Like I said before, the quality suffers from here on out. This one could be considered passable, I rank it my Resident Evil if I were Paul Anderson. Five being my AvP. Three is totally Event Horizon.
That's it for now, tune in next time. Same Mac station, same Mac channel.

On another note, I'm trying to cut back on posting here. Looking at how many posts I've made in just this month alone, it's terrible. So, I'm going to limit myself somewhat. I'll get Chapter four up sometime after work tonight, so check back around 6am Central.

-Random Thought and Picture-

2006-02-18T09:21:00.000-06:00

Today's thought: This goes out to all foreigners considering travel to the United States. Sure, you could visit New York, San Francisco, Miami, Huston, or even Chicago. But, let's face one critical point. You're missing one of the best cities. In fact, if you do go to Chicago, which after this you won't, it's only a handful of hours away. Those of you still looking at a map, I'll save you the trouble, I am talking about none other than Kansas City.

Wait, no, I mean St. Louis. Wow, I almost looked bad there. "Why?" you might be asking yourself. "What does St. Louis have to offer that New York, San Francisco, Miami... etc". A list of things actually, in fact, many of you may not have even heard of some of this stuff.

1) Toasted Ravioli. Ravioli is breaded, fried and generally sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Generally when eating out, you get marinara sauce with a helping.

2) Provel Cheese. No, not provalone. It's a mixture of Cheddar, Swiss, and Provalone. But be warned, it is expensive.

3) Thin Crust/St. Louis Style Pizza. Though, I also hear the term California Style as well. It's a crackeresque firm crust, as opposed to Chicago and New York style soft crusts. Provel is generally used, or combined with Mozzarella. The pizza cannot be folded as easy as the other styles, but it is cut into squares and can be stacked. Despite the thin crust, toppings can be generously added, and there is a sweet taste to the sauce used. Since it's made with Provel, it's expensive.

4) The Waffle Cone. In 1903, a New Yorker received an U.S. patent for a cone-like invention. However, this is what sparked the rise in usage. A Syrian pastry maker who was making waffleesque pastries started giving some to his neighbor, an ice cream vendor who was running out of dishes. Because of this, ice cream cones were being sold nationwide.

5) Frozen Custard. Though, it started in New York, it is very popular here. Ted Drewes opened in 1930 St. Louis ten years after the first machine was sold in Coney Island. The "concrete", is a custard that is blended with different ingredients. Nuts, cookies, syrups, etc. Only two locations have been opened, and Ted himself has denied making it a franchise. "It is a matter of quality. Franchising could lead to mediocrity," is stated on the official website.

6) Busch Stadium. The only baseball stadium to have a beer named after it. Originally to be named Budweiser Stadium, the idea was nixed by the commissioner due to alcohol tie-in. So, they went with Busch, calling it a tribute. Just a little bit after, A&B introduce Busch Beer. That's one way to beat the system.

There you have it. Six reasons to visit the greatest city on Earth. Now, I could have made it seven if I included the Gateway Arch. But let's face it, it's nothing but an upside down 'U'.

Stuff To Look Forward To. Or, I'm Writing Some Long Posts.

2006-02-18T04:51:00.000-06:00

There's a few things I'm saving as drafts, and periodically working on. One, of course, is Episode 4 of CoVM, which happens to be the first two part-er in the series. Second, I'm establishing a trend I see in the world, where opinions are vastly different from mine, since I always considered myself to be the "Average Joe". I'm never too far to the left, nor right. Hell, not even up or down. I live near the middle of America for Mac's sake.
I might post some clips of the others works I'm doing, which would be subject to change still. Stuff that sounds good now, but might need to be changed due to conflicts later down the road. I'm working on thinking of another random thought, and looking for another random picture. Which, brings me to this: If you have any random, user-friendly (no porn folks, think of the children) pictures, you can send them to me via: A SASE, name, address, day-time phone number, blood type, shoe size, favorite Summer color, and a sample of dinner from two weeks ago... Or, you can just e-mail the picture to me or send me a link, and give me the name you want to be credited.

After much long and tedius debating, I have concluded to bringing back the Macars. It's my award ceremony, which I dedicate to what I think is the best in certain categories. Generally, I give them out to Movies, Games, Music, and other random things. This year, I will include a special award to who I think was one of the greatest people to live in the world. If it works out, I'll give one out every year. Though, each time, they won't be as great in my view as the last years.

Project Maclight. Or, Other Random Stuff I'm Doing.

2006-02-17T17:12:00.000-06:00

So, a few of the other projects I'm working around with besides The Chronicles, and Cop Show Guy vs. Vinny Mac are:

Movie
Untitled:
Reggie Vallance plays a rookie street cop who plays by the rules on the mean streets of St. Louis County. Until one day he finds a dark secret during a routine stop.

Untitled:
I'm trying to figure out a plot for a movie where I can introduce a lot of cameos. I mean, tons. The thing is, each cameo would be someone hardly anyone in the world knew. He'd be like that guy from a crappy B-Movie turned grocier, that only three people have followed his carrer. Or, like a person from a soap opera who was only in one story arc, because he was friends with a producer. These types of people. Nothing like a Tom Hanks, or close.
---

Animation
Untitled Anime:
A samurai searches for his family's killer, but gets lost at sea and is stranded at the arctic. He befriends a polar bear, and heads back home to search for clues. If I have my way, Frank Welker'd voice the bear, and Bloom had nothing to do with this. You hear me! This is one anime you won't be voicing!

Cop Show Guy vs. Vinny Mac: Super Power Hour!:
Think Pro Stars, but good. We'd introduce the episode, and voice act. At the end we'd answer a fan question.
---

Writing:
The Legends of Vinny Mac:
The 'Lost' sequel to the Chronicles. I want to re-write them since a few of them I liked. This is the premise I based City of Heroes Vinny Mac on, for the... two of you that know.

The Fall of Vinny Mac:
An accident forces Vinny Mac to rethink his approach on life, and if he is really cut out for super-herodom.

Return of Vinny Mac:
Sequel to Fall, Ginny Mac turns over a new leaf, asks for Vinny Mac's help to save the world from invading Space Pirates. Will Vinny Mac accept? Or, does he not care anymore?

---
Edit 2/19

I've decided to drop the Reggie Vallance movie, or at least change the plot. Too similar to Cop Show in a way. I like the name as a main character, so I'll think of something different.

Cop Show Guy vs. Vinny Mac: The Cast!

2006-02-15T17:17:00.000-06:00

If this movie was being produced by a Hollywood company, and I was behind casting, this is what my tentative cast would look like:
-Vinny Mac: Charlie Sheen
The man looks like how I envision Vinny Mac

-Ginny Mac: Charlie Sheen w/goatee
The goatee is a must for any/all evil twins

-Cop Show Guy: Denzil Washington
CSG's idea, plus he's a hell of an actor

-Bad Guy: Wesley Snipes
Wesley Snipes can play one mean bad guy

-"Mean" Tony Green: Johnny Deep
For the lack of a better actor.

-The Chief of Police: William Shatner
I forget the reasoning behind this. But I let it stand.

-Mayor Adam East: Adam West
Did you see what I did there?.

And guest starring:
-Woody Allen as: The Fat Black Comic Releif
He's a funny guy. Just put him in a fat suit, and it's go time!

Can you say Oscar?

Chapter 4: Get! Or, How I braved the ends of the Earth to find it.

2006-02-15T15:45:00.000-06:00

So, I moved some stuff around on my floor, and uncovered both chapters 4 and 7 for the Chronicles. I'm still missing five and six, so I'll continue to search as I post Chapter 4 this weekend.
The thought was really a random time thing. It won't be every week, more along the lines of whenever something cool pops into my head. And you can't get much cooler then being shot, and still doing your job.

-Edit
I've found Chapter 6 as well. I'm seriously thinking after years of debating, I finally threw away Chapter 5. It was crappy even for me.

-Random Thought of the Week-

2006-02-15T03:44:00.000-06:00

The United States needs another Theodore Roosevelt. We need a man who can get shot and five minutes later deliver a ninety minute speech. Most people today are concerned with their wellbeing, and would normally consult a doctor first. Then there's the whole surgery part, and recovery. Meaning that, by the time they get out, the moment's over. Life's gone on, people have forgotten you were shot. Your speech is dull, boring, and too long.
The image of seeing a man bleeding on stage, bullet intact (in fact, it was kept in for fear of killing him later), not staggering, not fading, brings out the admiration of all. People think to themselves: "This man is one tough bastard. If I met him in a dark ally, I would either pee in my pants, or run for my life."
You respect a man who's just been shot, for putting his life on the line to do his duty above all else.

"Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."

Just a short add-on to two posts ago. Or, an apology to Mr. Anderson

I just realised something:
Paul Anderson made Event Horizon. And even Mortal Kombat and the first Resident Evil weren't that bad either. I can never truly make fun of this man again.
Now, Boll is a different story.
Hell, even Michael Bay did The Rock.

The Chronicles of Vinny Mac: Chapter 4 - TBA. Or, this is not a chapter update, just a quick note.

2006-02-09T04:47:00.000-06:00

I'm having trouble with finding stories 4-7, the remain episodes of the critically acclaimed series! I'll try and hopefully get four and five up sometime next week, then six and seven the week after. I can tell you this, the remaining stories involve: Hitler, Metallica and Bill Gates, those stupid 1-800 numbers from years ago, and a final confrontation between Vinny Mac and Ginny Mac... Or, is it?

In other news, Civilization 4 is a great turn based game. Those who are fans of the genre should not be scared of CivIII, and pick it up. Those of you not fans of the genre, probably won't care. Though, if you are looking to get into the genre, it could be a good game to get you started. Brisco County Jr is finally slated for DVD release. It may be old to some (or not), but I just read about it on Campbell's site the other day. Now, all I need is Salute Your Shorts, and the final G.I. Joe volume.

This is my tenth update, and I've already beat out the update count of www.vinny-mac.net, which was a sad and pathetic attempt to show my html "knowledge". "Knwowledge" meaning I can (or could) set up a basic page. Text colors, coulmns, linking, and paragraphs was about it. Still, I kind of miss not having the site, since it was something I actually did myself ("did" is a stretched term, since the lack of updates on the site). Maybe when I become famous one day, and have legions of fans willing to throw their lives away to whatever I command, I'll make a new website. But for now, that's a negative good buddy.

The Chronicles of Vinny Mac: Chapter 3 - Wednesday. Or, Chapter 3 - Vinny Mac...Too?

2006-02-05T07:57:00.000-06:00

The morning was like any other morning. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and a nice cool breeze was blowing through the air. Everything on the outside was peaceful, inside was a different story.
Chaos was running wild.
The phones were ringing off the hook. The callers were pissed off at the activities of Vinny Mac. They asked; "Why are you doing this to us? When will it stop?"
Vinny Mac was confused. Being in space and brining back the world's supply of Yoo-Hoo really tired him out. He was asleep for hours. He knew something was up, so Vinny Mac turned on the television to check the news.
It turns out that the world's supply of alcoholic beverages were stolen, yet the non-alcoholic weren't touched. Violence spread wherever the alcohol was bought. Then it hit Vinny Mac. This could only be the work of one man.
Ginny Mac. Vinny Mac's evil, goatee wearing, drunken twin, who gets by on Vinny's good looks. The drunken Ginny Mac was having his way with the women. A big no-no. Since he looked and sounded like Vinny Mac, Ginny Mac was easily able to lure the women in.
Ginny Mac's idea was to capture all the women in the world, and force them to make a super-concentrated alcoholic beverage. It would make him so powerful, that not even Vinny Mac could stop him.
But, Vinny Mac had a plan. Sabotage the alcohol, and switch it with non-alcoholic (Ginny Mac's one weakness). It would work, since no one buys NA beverages, and everyone would be in stock.
Vinny Mac walked into Ginny Mac's base one night. Hey, I already said Ginny was a drunk, he forgot to lock the doors. Holding the non-alcoholic bottles, he walked up to the processor, and looked at a sign.
Please do not pour non-alcoholic beverages into this processor. Thank you, Management. Being the man he is, Vinny Mac didn't pour the bottles in... He threw them in. All the non-alcoholic power in those bottles disturbed the processor, creating a chemical reaction. Vinny Mac had a short time to get out.
Ginny Mac showed up stumbling, and cried out "No!". Vinny Mac hightailed it, and as he reached the door, the reactor blew, and Vinny Mac leapt into the air, worthy of an action scene from a movie.
Vinny Mac saved the world, for the third time, but what about Ginny Mac? Did he survive? Well, that's another story.

---

This was the third chapter in the Chronicles, and also the first version by yours truly. Again, I edited some minor stuff. Whenever you see the term "non-alcoholic", I originally had that O'douls, or something. Whatever it's called. That's why I changed it. I was too lazy to check the spelling. This also introduces Vinny's main villain. The terrible Ginny Mac, originally spelt Jinny Mac. Like chapter 2, this was an exorcise in school. The writer of the second thought of the plot, and spelling of G/Jinny. I figured Ginny worked better since, hey-hey: Gin/Ginny plays off on his drunkenness.
Sadly, this ushers in a dark age. From this point on, to me, the stories get bad. I mean, they're not Uwe Bole bad (take that!), maybe Paul Anderson bad (ZING!). I'll try to write as much as I can, but I'm not saying I won't edit them either. I'll have them up probably late next week.

The Chronicles of Vinny Mac: Chapter 2 - Tuesday. Or, Chapter 2 - Electric Boogaloo

2006-01-27T20:38:00.000-06:00

Vinny Mac was walking along the road, sipping his Yoo-Hoo and eating Starburst, when out of nowhere a woman in tattered clothing collapsed at his feet.
"Please!" She pleaded. "You must help, the Oompa-Loompas have taken over the M&M/Mars factory and have replaced all of the Strawberry and cherry Starbursts. Madness, destruction! I work at Wal-Means and I was mauled to death by a vicious crowd that was sugar deprived!"
Just then, a hundred thousand people came around the corner and attacked Vinny Mac, perhaps they wanted his Starbursts. It was a cinch for Vinny Mac to win with his lion circle kick and his spinning heel drop moonsault. The battered crowd broke into sobbing. "They made them from green apple and rasberry -- Bastards!"
Vinny Mac grabbed the nearest tree and pulled it back. he sat on it and launched himself a hundred miles toward the factory.
He landed on the roof, and an Oompa-Guard noticed and lifted his radio to call the alarm. But in true ninja style, there is suddenly a shiruken in his head. Was it Vinny Mac? I don't know...
He entered the top floor and landed face to face with 1700 Oompa-Loompas trained in Gobstopper Fu. But they were no match for Vinny Mac's Mac Fu! After the beatdown, he went into the office of Willy Wonka. In a movie style martial arts scene, Vinny Mac started to lose but xame back in a surprise, heroic final blow.
Thirty scantaly clad women thanked Vinny Mac for freeing them. Attorney General Jon Ashcroft invited Vinny Mac to the White House. Vinny Mac invited him to a knife in the belly. Then he replaced all of the green apple and rasberry back with the strawberry and cherry. He also replaced the lemon and orange ones while he was at it.
Vinny Mac sipped his Yoo-Hoo and walked into the horizon.

Yeah, I know I said I'd write an intro, but that would ruin the story. So, I'm opting to write a short ending after the stories from now.
This was the second chapter in the story. This was also the only other story not written by me. However, the premise of the story was mine. At the time Starburst was taking away their good flavors and putting in ones that tasted like crap, which was another thing I would bring to the class. As you can tell, there was a lot of martial art influence in this one, not my idea. Writting here, I wanted to edit a lot of it out, but instead I put in the line about Mac Fu.
I'm not sure about the deal with Ashcroft, but I thought it was good so I left it.
I'll have chapter 3 up maybe in a week or so, I've done too much updating on this site recently. I need a break.

What's your quaffle with the waffle road? Or, get against the tree!

2006-01-27T04:54:00.000-06:00

"Why two posts?" you might be asking. Well, this doesn't have to do with the Chronicles, so I decided it needed it's own post and catchy title.
I should give insight to those (probably 99% of you) on what exactly Cop Show was. Well, I'm not the best one to tell you, because I myself didn't catch it until years after it happened. But, I can give you the jist. Think Scooby Doo, but with cops, and five minutes long:
-A friend plays Cop Show Guy (for the lack of a better name), who stars in Cop Show (probably also for the lack of a better name).
-His brother plays Bad Guy (see a theme going on?). CSG's arch-enemy, whom Cop Show G uyswears to destroy in every episode.
-Every episode Bad Guy is doing something against the law. Stealing purses, littering, or even destroying the road with a plunger (yes, you read right).
-Cop Show Guy catches him and asks what's going on. Bad Guy generally responds with something about his girlfriend wanting this, or that.
-Bad Guy runs and CSG chases him, eventually catching him, pinning him to a tree and exclaiming "Get against the tree!".
-Bad Guy is taking back to the prison/jail/garage, where he is 'locked up' by the door closing.
-Bad Guy always finds a way out. Either just walking out during CSG's speech, waiting until the last second before the door closes, or even walking out the second door that's been wide open the whole time.
A few times there were a few friends of their's involved, but I didn't know most of them so they never existed.
Pretty much, that's it. How I'll make this into two movies, let alone one? I don't know, but I will.
I have a few of the episodes saved, and I'll probably upload them to Google Video, or something. I'll let you know how that goes in a latter post.

Something I overlooked. Or, I just thought of this right now.

2006-01-27T04:44:00.000-06:00

It would have been better, on my part, to give a quasi intro into each chapter. So, from now on I will when I post Chapter 2 soon. Anyways, since I don't like leaving stuff out, I'll write a bit about the first one.
It started off as an exercise in my Creative Writing class a few years ago in High School. It was actually written by a friend of mine. Somehow, it caught on, and I decided to take it and run with it. I couldn't get a hold of the original back then, so I had re-written it when I started writting a series of them. It was bad, so I edited it when I posted it here. The whole Vinny Mac loving Yoo-Hoo comes from me always bringing one to class (since it was in the morning), and drinking it. I'm not sure what was with the orphans or Hanson hate, but I kept it in since it was funny at the time. The orphans also grew to become one of Vinny Mac's weaknesses, always helping them out when they needeed it. No matter what was going on at the time.
That's about all I can really remember about it, the next two were also exercises in the class. One was written by me, and the other by a second friend. I forgot exactly what order I had them in, so I'll flip a coin and go that way.

Hope you liked the first chapter. Or, shut up and read the damn story.

2006-01-19T03:31:00.000-06:00

Well, that's what you've pretty much got to look forward to in the next six chapters of TCoVM. I spent about an average of three minutes per chapter back in High School, so you can tell you're getting quality work. As of now I plan pm re-writting The Chronicles, since even for me, a few of the stories were lacking. Plus, I've come up with better villians for Vinny Mac to fight. But first, I will post the original set, with a few minor edits.
In other news, I'm working with a friend to bring to you the biggest meeting of the two greatest heroes of our time: Cop Show Guy vs. Vinny Mac. Taking place in St. Louis, CSG and Vinny Mac meet (for some reason), mistake each other for bad guys, and fight for about ten minutes. Afterwards they decide to join forces to destroy evil once and for all... Or something like that. I said I'm working on it.

The Chronicles of Vinny Mac: Chapter 1 - Monday. Or, Chapter 1 - The Beginning.

2006-01-18T03:53:00.000-06:00

The Monday started out great for Vinny Mac. School was closed, for some unknown reason. But it didn't matter, he was off. Still early in the day, Vinny Mac drove down to his local Quik Trip to buy some delicious Yoo-Hoo.
First off, Vinny Mac is a great guy. He's not too tall, but over six feet. Average build, not too fat or too skinny. He's a very big tipper and a nice person to be around, unless you get on his bad side. Then he can be a pain in your... Any way, back to the story.
He walked inside, and no one was there. The lights flickered on and off. Something was wrong, very wrong. Vinny Mac walked up to the refrigerator that holds his delicious Yoo-Hoo. But there was nothing!
Vinny Mac was pissed, Yoo-Hoo is his favorite non-carbonated drink, of the chocolate variety. He turned back, a not was on the counter. It read: "Dear Vinny Mac, I hope you enjoy your precious day off from school drinking your Hoo-Yoo. Wait, that's right, we control all of it now! Come here if you want it back, and if you want to die! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Vinny Mac was pissed, it was time for Vinny Mac to put the Mac Down on some alien scum. He walked out, and went into space. How exactly? Well, let's say he flew there. I don't know how, he just did.
He made his way into the spaceship, and snuck up on some aliens. He tapped on a shoulder and coughed. They turned around.
"Gasp!" They exclaimed.
"Boo!" Vinny Mac let out.
The aliens ran off into escape pods, which blew up as they took off. Finally, the evil supreme leader appeared.
"Where's your precious Hoo-Yoo now, silly hu-man!?"
"Huh?" Vinny Mac asked.
Vinny Mac punched at the alien, but it went through. A hologram! The alien started to laugh out loud. So, Vinny Mac turned around and decked him. He must have been pretty stupid, to stand behind Vinny Mac like that.
So, with the alien knocked out, Vinny Mac started to make his way toward the Yoo-Hoo. He found it in a pile in the middle of the ship. He stocked it into another ship outside, and was about to leave when he heard cries.
Orphans! How long had they been there? Vinny Mac went and let them out. At the end was rock super group Hanson!
"Back in the cage!" Vinny Mac yelled towards them. Hanson quietly walked back into the cage, and Vinny Mac locked it up. Before Vinny Mac and the orphans left, Vinny Mac set explosives on the ship to blow up as he left.
They got into the other ship, started it, and headed back toward Earth. As they left, the evil alien spaceship blew up.
"Yeah!" Cheered the orphans.
They got back to Earth, and Vinny Mac gave the world's supply of Yoo-Hoo back. Well, not all of it exactly, he kept some for himself. What a day! Who knows what surprises await our hero later... Or tomorrow!

I've been very busy lately. Or, I got off my lazy ass and made some time to update.

2006-01-16T11:30:00.000-06:00

Well, first thing's first. I found, for the third time, The Chronicles of Vinny Mac. A collection of seven (though I acknowledge six) stories that were written in High School. Five by me, two by two friends. Their quality is slightly above a Uwe Bole movie, and I probably won't be winning any awards for them anytime soon. Needless to say, I had fun writting them, and my other friends had (some) fun reading them. I'll try to post one of the stories here and there, so it'll probably be a while until I get all seven up.
I mean, look how long it's been since my first post. Though that's more of apathy and the Christmas rush at work, and only getting six hours of total sleep a day. Still, don't expect updates every day, or every week for that matter. Better yet, check in once a month, or Season.

Let's get it out of the way. Or, a few things about myself.

2005-10-12T10:26:00.000-05:00

-I currently reside in St. Louis. Though, I'm willing to move if something comes up, just not to California. It's bad enough I had to be born there.
-I'm 21 years old, soon to be 22. I don't drink alcohol, or smoke anything. I'M STRAIGHT EDGE BITCHES!
-6'3", 155 lbs, and eat more than most of my friends combined. Gotta love high metabolism.
-Single, but not looking. Romance just isn't my cup of tea. Could be the problem, since I don't drink tea.
-I write, though not full time, I still manage to attempt at writing short stories. The most famous being my Vinny Mac stories I helped establish in High School.
-I currently work at UPS during the night sort. A lot of interesting people work there. Interesting meaning both good and bad ways.
-I mainly sit on my ass all day, and watch TV or play games on my computer. Sounds exciting huh? If there were any more excitment in my life I'd... I'd be outside most of the day.
