Original Commentary
Three times so far, they've shut off water for a day to make repairs. They leave us a note the night before and shut it off from 9 - 5. Problem is, I work the night shift so I wake up around noon and get no water. Slows a person's morning down, it does - Terrence
Modern Commentary
So, there are a number of folks who have played similar (but legally distinct) characters in different wrestling promotions. WWE has a habit of renaming wrestlers because if they come up with the name, they own it.
However, this was inspired by Fred Ottman. I thought that he was Tugboat in WWE and Typhoon in WCW or maybe the other way around. That wasn't correct; he was Tugboat in WWE and changed his name to Typhoon when he turned heel.
He was The Shockmaster in WCW, who is an entirely different character. He wore a fur vest and a Star Wars Stormtrooper helmet covered in purple glitter. He's most famous for (intentionally) crashing through a wall and (unintentionally) falling down during his first appearance.
Words cannot do it justice. Just watch is initial appearance.
But anyhow, I was wrong about the specifics of that character, but Broken Matt Hardy and Woken Matt Hardy are the same character with the same catchphrases. The only difference is that WWE owns Woken Matt Hardy. Or how Bryan Danielson and Daniel Bryan are the same guy but one name is owned by the WWE.

First, You Say it First is going to be running with commentary starting July 18th - next Monday. Seven days a week. With original commentary AND new modern commentary that has the full benefit of hindsight! Be there!
Secondly, Panda Jenn did a video - Old Furry Websites I Used To Visit. In addition to being an look back at how the internet used to be - and it used to be different - one of those sites was Unlike Minerva, the prequel to You Say it First.

Over the last month, Isabel participated in Mermay, a mermaid-themed drawing challenge. If you follow her on Twitter, you've probably seen it. Our friend Eric Pearson has compiled them into a video for one-stop viewing. If you haven't seen them, please check then out.

So, we're less back than we wanted to be.
We really wanted to finish the Amoeba X-ing storyline and we're glad that we were able to. We were hoping that momentum would carry us forward. That was overly optimistic.
The pandemic is still on. We're kinda going crazy staying at home, but it's the safest option for us and those around us. Isabel's art anxiety has gotten worse. We're not ready to come back yet. Sooner than later, we hope. Not as long as last time. But not right now.
02.25.2021 - Terrence Marks:
We're back! Update schedule is, well, we'll see how things go. We thank you all for coming back.
06.25.2020 - Terrence Marks:
So how are we doing?
Well, main thing is comics are on hold until further notice.
Physically? We're ok. We're staying indoors. We work from home. Haven't left the house in months apart from vet appointments, and we know we're both lucky that we're able to do that. If you can stay home or socially distance or wear a mask, we really appreciate it and thank you for it. We want this whole pandemic thing to be over, because, like everybody else we're kinda tired of it by now. But still staying home.
Mentally? Kinda bad right now, to be honest. 2020 kinda sucks. Everything is just so much right now. It's hard to be creative.
Comics? On hold until further notice. I really don't know if or when we'll be back. I'm sorry. Some days it feels like we've been slowly running out of steam for a long while and these are not energizing times. If we come back, I'd rather we do it vigorously instead of in fits and starts as life wears us back down. I'd hate to say we're coming back, then we don't or we stop after a few updates.
Expiration is turned off for NamirDeiter.net accounts. If you supported us, we sincerely appreciate it and hope you enjoy the backlog of content we have up there.
Cats? Doing surprisingly well so far. Buttons' thyroid treatment was a success. She's put on at least two pounds, which is good since she was on the low side of four pounds before all this. Momo is still around. Her kidneys weren't in great shape at the start of all this and they're very unlikely to have improved. She's doing better than we expected, but we know that won't last forever. Every extra day we have with her is a blessing and we're grateful for it. Beowulf is doing good, to the best of our knowledge. He doesn't have any complaints as long as we feed him before we feed the other cats.
