Hee hee, I made this little parody up of Everybody's free to wear sunscreen. Enjoy! -------------------------- Everybody's free to surf rinkworks
Surf Rinkworks.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, Rinkworks would be it. The long-term benefits of Rinkworks have been proven by people, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering around the site. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of Crazy libs. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of Crazy Libs until it's long gone. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at printouts of Crazy libbed stories and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous Crazy Libs really was. It is not as useless as you think.
Don't worry about the future of Rinkworks. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to Crazy Lib a story by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that make Rinkworks server go down occasionally.
Dialectize one thing every day that makes you laugh.
Don't be reckless with other people's Adventure games live saved games. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Don't waste your time watching bad movies. Sometimes they're bad bad, sometimes they're bad good. Bad movies are long and, in the end, it's always going to stink.
Remember wierd compliments from Issachar("You crazy gal you!"). Forget the insults from Dave. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old Adventure games Live saved games. Delete your old arguments with Sam about bill clinton.
Avoid arguing with Sam.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with Rinkworks. The most interesting People I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with Rinkworks. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.
Be kind to Rinkworks. You'll miss it when it's gone.
Maybe you'll dialectize a website, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll play Enchanted Forest, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll read It's a bad bad movie a lot , maybe you'll still be playing Adventure Games Live on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half-chance. So are everybody else's.
Enjoy Rinkworks. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest website you'll ever go to.
Surf Rinkworks, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room.
Listen to Sam, even if you don't like him.
Do not read magazines. They will only make you long for Rinkworks.
Get to know Sam and Dave. You never know when they'll shut down the site.
Be nice to Rinkworks. It's your best link to the past and the most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that web sites come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in humor and seriousness, because the older you get, the more you need the web sites that were there when you were young.
Accept certain inalienable truths: Rinkworks server will go down. Things People Said will never get updated. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, Rinkworks was always up, and Things people said was always updated.
Be careful what sites you dialectize, but be patient with the sites that don't work with it. Dialectizing is a form of nostalgia. Using it is a way of fishing a boring site from the garbage, checking the words, replacing them with redneck and displaying it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the rinkworks
