*shuffles in through the piles of glitter, cupcakes, and dodges all the animals running amok*



Even though I sent you an email, I'll put a late reply here to say congratulations, Airi! You've earned all the praise you have received. *hugs*

I'm also glad you like the banner. *smiles*

*looks around at the emu* Nope! No speed-o-meter. You will have to use a radar gun. *Buckles up as the Emu continues to get even faster.*

*laughing* Elanhil, you remind me of the guy out of "Prince of Persia".

*points radar gun at Elanhil's electric emu*

*radar gun malfunctions and explodes due to the high speed of the electric emu*

*tosses broken radar gun aside and watches the blur of Elanhil and the electric emu zooming around the forum*

When is that emu going to need fresh batteries, Elanhil? Or does it run on rocket fuel?

I would imagine it plugs in and recharges.

Yes, it does. We already determined that.

Unless it's solar-powered. We didn't cover that option.

Solar power No way an emu would be going that fast on solar!

Definitely not.

You're just saying that because this isn't the sci-fi forum. If this were the sci-fi forum, we'd have no trouble inventing a stupendous solar-powered charging device for these emus that gives them high-octane voltage.

Or this could be a steampunk emu that runs on nitroglycerin.

If we had an emu that was powered by glitter, it would never run out of fuel as long as it stayed in Intros and Promos.

*each time I pass ya'll* Welll....it....is....an....e....lec....tric....emu....I....think....*suddenly it stops and I go flying. The Emu's head droops a couple of inches.* *Brushes self off.* Looks like she ran out of power.

Time to plug it in again.

High Octane voltage? Octane refers to a kind of gasoline... not electricity... then again, maybe that's what makes these emus so fast!
*goes off to invent a hybrid emu that works on glitter and electricity*

Reiyen, you're a genius! A hybrid that works with glitter! How perfect! We'll make millions!

This made me laugh so hard! Then I was concerned for Elanhil....hopefully he was wearing a helmet. 'Tis not a fun thing falling off speeding animals...

Ehem...anyways, pardon my late congratulatory comment, I was having so much fun reading everyones comments I forgot to post one of my own. so yay for Airianna! *throws tacos in the air*

I know octane is a gasoline thing... okay, actually, I don't know that, because I don't know anything about that kind of stuff, but I was just using the phrase "high octane" for its general application of "high velocity."

*thinks that maybe there should be an electric emu race with the prize being a giant cupcake the size of a castle*

I missed the party Rats!

Ohh... but the party goes on. I am almost done with my hybrid emu... would I be allowed to use it in the race?

*chuckles * I don't see why not.

I am using this trusty fellow. *plugs in Emu* Who's was it before? Before I stole it, that is...

There is a shocking lack of glitter abounding through here.

Here, Airilyn! *tosses red glitter*

Sure.


It didn't last long...

Yay Zoey!

Meet Prototype Hybrid Emu A! Running on both glitter (sorry, Airi, the lack of glitter is because the speed-to-glitter ratio on this version is really small, taking in most of the glitter) and on electricity! Unfortunately, this version is not quite as fast as the natural or electric versions, but it has three added bonuses: cup holders, heated taco racks, and it converts glitter in the air to other colors as it races by!

O.O work out the glitter glitch and I want one!

I'm speechless. (More or less.)

Me being the visual person I am...

*thinks that is awesome*

*wants one*

*thinks he could sell them to General Motors and make a million*

Sorry, tacos and cup holders aren't going to help you in any race.

They will if it is a marathon... then while you are dying of thirst and getting stomach cramps I will be riding in style!
While working on the glitter-to-speed ratio, I accidentally also invented a shade canopy, which should be helpful in outdoor races. The current issue is the air resistance...

Let me know when you've gotten a final version, Reiyen. I'd be interested in buying one.

That little narrative was hilarious!

You're amazing, Bush.

Wow! Huey actually said something!

*nearly drops computer laughing*

And nice picture, Bush

*fixed his mistake and loves the 'edit' button*

eruheran

Thanks guys. Why doth Mr. Eruheran be too above us to speak in first person?

Yay! *claps for glitter fiesta *

*explains that he has lost his voice, thanks to Airianna*

*sips camomile tea*

eruheran

Airi made eruheran lose his voice? *is thoroughly intrigued*

Yes, Andrew, would you like to explain this one for everybody?

*passes popcorn around*

Speaking of fiesta... I just managed to upgrade my taco warming rack to a burrito warming rack! Has anyone already noticed that I like to eat? Does Bethany have any burritos with which we can run a test? And also good news... I have created a glitter recycler! This way with only a tiny intake of glitter this emu can really get hopping! Unfortunately, the running motion is much harder to generate with glitter

I think I will need one of those, Shawn, mind if I take one?

Hmm...sorry, Reiyen. Don't think I do burritos...don't like them much. *opens refrigerator* Oo! Here's some! *hands Reiyen burrito*
