The Origin of Nick
Better late than never, right? Here’s the script for Nick’s origin episode:
Dr. Manhattan - Nick (ID duh!)

WRG Blog #4, Part 2
This week was pretty damn different with half of us MISSING!! Since Jen (and the RAK) had to pick up so many parts, we did the blog on video. No editing! Enjoy!
WRG Blog #4, Part 2
WRG Blog #4
Present: Jen F., Stevie D., Yherelyn (SPELLING? I hope im getting this right), Becky F., Nick A., Danny L., Nicole S.
Ch 3 Part one (‘cause we didn’t finish)
Background:
Promethian Cab co. [“Bringing light to the world”]
Magazine cover:
Nova Express
How Sick is Dick? [ed. Note: “How gone is Ron?” – see the PWEI post]
Title – The Judge of All the Earth
Jen and Danny tried to get Paul-Michael in on WRG by using Jen’s laptop and an Ethernet cable taken from the computer room. But it didn’t work ‘cause it was being dumb.
RAAAK
-Danny takes over notes-
Something stupid about sneakers
RAK AHOY
Omg fallen demon talk, this is priceless, He won’t go away.
He’s talking to me about how the macbook sucks; it so doesn’t. [ed. Note: “But that’s not open source!!! You should get an ASUS PC” etc – and you forgot his Rorschach imitation]
He’s so interrupting our reading and Becky has to leave soon.
Jen back.
D’arbs “excuse me I’m trying to have sex here!”
“AAAUUGGG JON BE ONE PERSON AGAIN”
Jon: ‘….I’m sorry”
Everyone: “LMFAO”
Notice how as he is apologizing, he is fixing things like the blue inhuman logical household man he is.
“some 16 year old running around in her underwear”
Danny to D’Arbs: “that’s you!”
Bill Cosby
“you people”
“what do you mean you people?”
Nova Express.
BIG PANEL
Nostalgia board, Treasure Island comic book store
Becky coughs fantastically
“some things once broke can’t be unbroken”
(or whatever is was, I CAN’T REMEMBER)
Gordian Knot—Alexander the Great cut it in half
Question: does Rorschach kick this sucker in as well later on?
Nick: “you wanna do it in costumes?”
Rorschach took all of Dreiberg’s sugar.
Danny: “D’arbanville’s crying, I don’t know why.”
Darb: “Danny get off the phone :sob: so I can :louder sob: stop crying”
Shadows in the fog mist from Laurie’s cup
“Maybe both”
Nick: “it is both”
Darbs “I don’t know what simulates…”
Laurie’s face reminiscent of snowglobe later in the book
Nostalgia bottle for later chapter spins, looks like a “z”
So does sugar cube
SECRETARY HAD NO PERSON
Becky takes
“Becky females from outer space”
“YOU’RE THE YOUNG WHITE BILL COSBY”
Who Watches the Watchmen?
Danny: “knife knife stab stab”
*applause *
“whats up doc?”
“up is a relative concept”
more audience applause
Nova Express.
Wally Weaver
Jacobi
Janey Slater
All sick or dying of cancer
“the mob’s getting aroused” * cue Dan and Laurie panting for air *
everyone else: “LFMAOOOAHAHAH”
Becky and Nick must leave
[ed. Note: Darbs called it at that because she was feeling like DEATH]
Jen Danny and Nicole attempt to put the Ethernet cable back….
But it was being dumb so they just kinda shoved it in.
To Be Continued……
WOW THAT’S A SHORT INCOHERENT BLOG
Help!
Hey, gang, I want to get the Ch. 3 script up by Tuesday so people can start laying claim to roles (I think Dick Nixon might have lines this week!). Unfortunately, I am getting quite whelmed by my workload, so if any of you would be willing, as Nick did with the first chapter, to send it to me or post it here, I’d really appreciate it. Believe me, I’d rather do that than my real work, but I’m trying to be the grownup here!
Testing (my patience)
I haven’t been able to approve comments from my phone and I’m not sure why. So I’d like you guys to comment with shout-outs so I can keep playing. Thanks!
Absent Friends -or- Obama is in the Herpes

ON TO THE BLOG!
Arguing over SING and characters
Nick “SUCCULENT!”
Que quiet….
Nick “works every time”
D’Arb “Oh Nick, the things that have been over heard in this library”
From the other side of the library Mrs.Medina “HAHA”
Nicole made the face.
We actually start
Cover of Ch. 2, statue, crying
Water drip over right eye
Smiley splatter over right eye
Back and forth between Laurie and mom, and the Comedian’s funeral
D’Arbanville: “only Laurie would complain about teleportation”
Picture of the Minutemen in the background of Sally’s room
Cheryl: “His [Rorschach’s] gloves are now purple. Not yellow. I told you.”
D’Arbanville (as Sally): “sunshine makes ya healthy”
Nicole: “WHY DO YOU SOUND LIKE MY GRANDMA”
Nepenthe Gardens—to forget things.
The home where Sally is, title relation to Edgar Allan Poe.
[Ed. Note: Poe uses the word “nepenthe” in “The Raven,” that’s the only connection. Nepenthe is something you drink to forget past pain.]
Stevie was checking the trails of shadows for anything important.
The colors of the flag are faded
The Comedian was the parody of America, does that mean since he died, it faded?
Because the flag is faded, all the things America stood for faded
Or Gibbons ran out of red ink.
The Comedian poster “Whatever happened to the American dream? It came true. You’re looking at it.”
We are now on a quest to find that quote
Everyone is insulted by Jen’s mashed potatoes.
Stevie makes a GREAT Sally [Ed. Note: Awwwww, thanks Jen!]
Second ever of Stevie’s boy friends told her that
Edward, Morgan, and Blake where the most common pirate names. Ever.
Bill Cosby PREVAILS “Y’see that was Eddie, always talkin’ like he was on etc. etc.”
Reflection error on page 3. The streak should not go behind her. [Ed. Note: Jen originally added 2 r's to "error" (errrror)]
Laurie and Sally’s earrings switch colors.
Flashback
Tear on picture frame cause the FLASH
Much like the rain drops on the coffin.
Nick does Hooded Justice as Strong Bad
“razzle dazzle”
Jen: “what kinds of poles?”
NOTICES the drip on the Comedian’s outfit
RIGHT WHERE THE SMILE WOULD BE
Clock
Comedian’s pants
Stuff
“JON IS NOT AN H-BOMB”
“the only difference is that they didn’t have to get the H bomb laid every once in a while.”
Varga, the painting was made by him.
Ozzy has man with umbrella
Captain Metropolis looks like Aquaman
“heart transplant patient stabbed”
“stable”
“stable! Right.”
first heart transplant of the 40’s?
Ozzy and Comedian sitting
Rorschah has a human voice here
Notice Janie and Doc Manhattan are having a lovers’ tiff
Capt Metropolis’ line “Somebody has to save the world” is OVER OZZY’S HEAD
The next line the priest over his head “savior deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death.”
Jon’s glowy force field keeps him dry.
Fireworks. JOYCE!
Roses become the fireworks,
Roses are being held by Moloch.
News paper reads
VICTORY DICK!
Nick “worst Saturday morning cartoon ever”
When did we start staring at the Comedian’s posterior for insight?
VVN night
Victory in Vietnam night
Before he shoots the girl, BLOOD DRIP ON THE SMILEY!
Symbolism????????
If the Comedian is 20th century America
Scarred his face
Vietnam scarred him for life, like it scarred present day America
Two dots on table and dead lady’s arm makes the smile
Angry feminism shirt
“a female explosion”
“its like…eating things”
“nom nom nom”
smiley on owl window
and smiley on side with dirt smudge
electric socket smiley
NEWSPAPER
Cops say let them do it
Comedian gun blast smiley face right side and upside down
“WHO WATCHES THE WATCH ME-“
AND THERE’S THE POSTER QUOTE. Our quest has ended.
Bell rings
Nicole: “Jesus?”
pointing to smiley face button, Nick: “SMILEY FACE”
Nicole: “Lord… Lord… Lord have mercy”
Doc Manhattan notices Moloch.
Love the cufflinks “V”
Notice Kovacs notice Moloch
GOT ANY BOOZE?
Sock drawer
“It’s always in the sock drawer”
“Who is he hiding it from?”
“Rorschach?”
“Jesus?”
“Virgin Mary?”
Rorschach: “sounds unbelievable. Probably true”
I love his logic
Nick: “walk on water”
Jen: “BISSCCUUIIITTTT”
boobs everywhere
D’Arbanville: “the picture of the butt is probably the best thing there.”
D’Arbanville describes the Comedian in depth, about him as a parody of 20th century America.
Mason: “wind on my legs”
Jen: “oo la la”
D’Arbs: “TMI”
Laughs around Mason’s suit “light chain mail briefs”
Dollar Bill’s death = NO CAPES!
“soap and lampshades”
Stevie: “that’s hilarious.”
Schexnayder.
“fun name”
“French?”
“Russian?”
“punch the keyboard?”
“Jewish” (ANGELICA!)
“sounds more made up to me.”
Nicole: “Making fun of my ancestors!”
Jen: “incestors”
Nicole ::is offended::
Photo of the Minutemen first Christmas party
Specks of light in mirror where drip would be.
and we get the first drips of blood towards the clock.
It’s 11 minutes to 12.
Watchmen, you’re needed
I’m planning to shanghai some of you for a freshmen lesson that includes a video I’d like to make with you guys. I know how busy everyone is but I plan to work around SING and not let it interfere with the WRGing in any way. Just giving you a friendly heads-up.
