This should  have been posted directly into the Institute.

apparently, the door doesn't swing both ways: you can't post into the Institute from the Institute

I haven't even read parts I or II...but the pictures alone are causing my brain to want to jump out of my skull and run away

Great stuff. This is already better than "Update."

I think I'd rather eat another bacon sundae from Denny's than to read either the update or the making of Naso....but I like Naso, dont get me wrong, as long as I can take a brief glance at what he is saying and move along....if you force me to read more than a sentence, I'm going to be climbing the walls from sheer terror

Sorry, jmfcst, but you can't escape this at a Denny's.  Who do you think is going to be waiting your table (Naso) or be on a first date in the next booth (Bushie)?

I'd like to see peoples' expressions as they soak in their first glance at Naso as their waiter..."Hello, my name is Mike, I'll be your waiter this evening..."

This is good, but to call it better indicates you obviously weren't around for the golden era of the Update thread.

I wish I was around for this "Update" thread.  It sounds glorious.  This thread is a masterpiece.  I never hear stuff like this in real life.  And even if I were to I would be so scared I wouldn't stick around to hear the ending.  With the safety of distance and anonymity on the internet I can relax and enjoy these missives in all their glory.  Do NOT delete this thread.

even with the distance the internet provides, I'm still to scared to read it
