Sebastian Holsclaw, permanent ObWi guest poster, has now become a permant ObWi permant poster. Hurray! The ObWi Five becomes the ObWi Six: Edward Underscore, Katherine, Hilzoy, Sebastian, Slartibartfast, and yours truly, Von.
What adventures will we have? What crimes will we solve? (More to the point, which will we commit?) Will Hilzoy finally stop with all the profanity? Can Slarti get his fjords to work? Will Edward Underscore ever become the man he hopes to be, Edward Sans Serif Bold? How many more dirty deeds, done dirt cheap will Katherine uncover? Will Sebastian be allowed to drive the Mystery Hoverfoil? And whatever happened to the rest of my name?
Most importantly, will we ever find our long-lost Far Starblazer, Moe Lane?
Keep those computer do-hickies gim-jawed to this station, folks. There are big things a-doin’.
I can’t even get my Cjhevy to work.
I don’t get it. Is Far Starblazer Moe Lane? Clue me in.
Who let fafblog in?
Starblazer was the best, coolest, most wonderful animation show ever — it was early Japanimation, and used to come before the Thunderbirds in the late 70s/early 80s on old Channel 4 out of Atlanta (WTBS, the forerunner to TBS; check your local television listings). It’s associated with Moe because, well, it’s cool.
Starblazer is known as Uchu senkan Yamato (Star Battleship Yamato) here in Japan.

Ahh, yes. The only show of which I’m aware that’s premised on the notion that a WW2-era battleship and be refitted as an intergalatic space cruiser with a really, really big gun on the front of it. Very cool.
Five, I’m afraid. Seeing as how the guy who signed Arar’s deportation order has been mentioned as Ashcroft’s most likely successor*, I will be accepting an appointment at Miskatonic University to curse my red state brethren and ululate at the cold, dead stars full time, and will be unavailable for posting duties.
*Jeralyn Merritt has said okay things about him other than that, and that she was surprised he was involved in the Arar case. Even so.
Sebastian gets a mystery hoverfoil and I’m just stuck with a foul mouth? Darn.
Damn, Katherine with the H.P. reference. Well done.

Well, it’s not clear whether we’ll actually give him the keys to the Mystery Hoverfoil. (Nor is it clear that we can find the keys to the Mystery Hoverfoil — it being pretty darn, well, mysterious.) And at least your name doesn’t translate to “of.”
Who needs keys, I’m going to hotwire the hoverfoil.
And I’m confident that Wildstar isn’t really gone.
Fire the Blog Motion Gun!
Sebastian Holsclaw, permanent ObWi guest poster, has now become a permant ObWi permant poster.
Are we talking a Dolly-Parton-bouffant or a Mary-Tyler-Moore-bob here? I’ve never discussed things permant before, nor even realized that that was the appropriate adjective, but I’m suddenly intrigued by Sebastian’s tonsorial qualities…
Mostly bald, but in very attractive way. I don’t have a perm myself, obviously, but maybe I know how to perm other people’s hair. But I can neither confirm nor deny that.
