GPF Archive: Monday, December 27, 1999 Fooker, Ki, Nick, Dwayne: WHAT?! / Trudy: The storm has been declared a blizzard, and they expect another 20 inches tonight. / Fooker: The cars are buried, and it looks like that salt truck just got stuck. / Ki: I don't think any of us are going anywhere, to parties or otherwise. / Nick: On the upside, the servers did reboot without a hitch... / Trudy: ...We just can't fix the bug in the weather system...
GPF Archive: Tuesday, December 28, 1999 [[Nick and Fooker returning from outside]] / Nick: The snow drifts have the cars completely buried. We couldn't dig them out if we tried... / Ki: Dwayne, what are you doing? / Dwayne: I'm really sorry about this, guys. I didn't know this sudden blizzard was coming. I feel responsible for you missing your party. So how about we throw a little one of our own? / Dwayne: Of course, we only have what's left in the kitchen. Stale Dorito? / [[Dwayne offers bag of Doritos to Ki]] / Trudy: I think I just saw the dip move...
GPF Archive: Wednesday, December 29, 1999 Dwayne: I'd like to propose a ginger ale toast, to the best software design team I have ever known. / Fooker: Here, here! {{Hear, hear!}} / Dwayne: In the past year or so, you guys have worked miracles. GPF software has quadrupled its business, mostly because of your efficiency. I am honored to work with each of you, and I hope this year brings more exciting challenges. / Dwayne: To the best software team I have ever had the honor of working with. Thanks, Gang. / Fooker: Gawrsh. / <>
GPF Archive: Thursday, December 30, 1999 Trudy: You know, Nick, it's almost midnight, and by tradition, you have to kiss someone... / Ki: Oh, no you don't... / Nick: Um... / Ki: You're not the only female here, Trudy. NICK should decide who he wants to kiss. / Fooker: I get whichever one's left... / Nick: ? / Trudy: Then we'll let HIM decide between us. / Nick: How 'bout we just forego tradition and just shake hands? Heh heh... / Fooker: I'll kiss ya both... I'm free! / Dwayne: Hershey Kisses, anyone?
GPF Archive: Friday, December 31, 1999 TV: ... 6 ... 5 ... 4 ... / Dwayne: Here it comes, gang... The start of a new millennium... / Nick: But that doesn't start until-- / TV: ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... / Fooker: Don't start... / Ki: Ya know what would be funny? If the power suddenly-- / [[Pitch black, apparently power is out.]]
 
GPF Archive: Saturday, January 1, 2000 [[Pitch black]] / Voice: I don't believe it! All the Y2K Doomsayers were right! We have no power! We're doomed! / Voice: Calm down, Trudy. There's bound to be a simple explanation... / [[Looking out a window where there is light]] / Dwayne: That's odd.. All the other buildings on the street have power. What happened? / Trudy thinks: I AM calm... I'm just trying to get YOU nerds to panic! / Fooker [[with flashlight]]: Guess what? The microwave tripped the breaker. Half melted nacho cheese, anyone? / Nick: Happy New Year, everyone. / Ki: God bless us, every one.
GPF Archive: Monday, January 3, 2000 Nick: Hello again, everyone. Yes, we're still snowed in at the office, as we were at the end of last week. / Nick: While Jeff, the artist, felt we accomplished the gratuitous "Y2K" story he set out to create, we the characters felt that the story should be resolved with a more clearly defined ending. / Nick: In other words, we're still snowed in, and we want to get the heck outta here. / Fooker: Preach it, Brother.
GPF Archive: Tuesday, January 4, 2000 Nick thinks: Ya know, being snowed in does let you see your friends in ways you've never seen them before... / Nick thinks: Dwayne and Fooker are barely verbal before they have their morning pot of coffee... / Fooker: Coffee good. / Dwayne: Mrgh. / Nick thinks: And the girls just want to go back into hiding... / Trudy: No makeup! Unclean! / Ki: Don't look at me!
GPF Archive: Wednesday, January 5, 2000 Fooker: Let me guess... musing over Nick again, right? / Ki: (Sigh)... Is it that obvious? / Fooker: Why don't you just go over there and tell him how you feel? It's not like he has any way to run away. What's keeping you from making the first move? / Trudy: Hi, "Pookel." / Fooker: ! / Ki: THAT'S what.
GPF Archive: Thursday, January 6, 2000 Fooker: Trudy know's you're "Pookel"? This is NOT good... Not with HER track record. / Ki: I know, I know! / Ki: I was afraid to tell him before, and when I finally worked up the nerve, Trudy found out! Now she lords it over me, like she's waiting to blackmail me at the perfect moment... / Fooker: Seems to me she won't have any ammunition if you went ahead and spilled the beans first... <> / Ki: Gotta go...
 
GPF Archive: Friday, January 7, 2000 Ki: Uh, Nick... Can I talk to you for a minute...? / NicK: Sure, what's up? / Ki: I've been thinking about this for a very long time, but I just haven't been able to bring it up. But I've put it off for long enough... / Nick: Hey, whatever it is, I'm your friend and I'm listening... / Trudy: Guess what! The roads are clear! / Ki thinks: Her timing is impeccable...
GPF Archive: Saturday, January 8, 2000 [[Scene outside GPF, lots of snow on the ground. Figures talking at the entrance to GPF, too far away to tell which is which]] / Figure 1: Finally! The roads are clear enough for us to go home. / Figure 2: About time. / Dwayne: I know it's been a rough few days, gang, so just go ahead and take the next few days off. Thanks for pulling through for me, guys. / Fooker: No sweat, Chief. / Nick: So what was it you wanted to talk about, Ki? / Ki: Nothing. Nothing at all. / [[Trudy with evil maniacal grin in background]]
GPF Archive: Monday, January 10, 2000 Fooker: Whew! What a day! Now I can't wait to just sit back with the slime molds and relax... / [[Fooker bumps into a very large muscular person]] / {{We later find this is Butch Kilgore, who is dating Trudy.}} / <> / Fooker thinks: Or... I can run into a towering Neanderthal who's standing outside my door and let him slowly break me in half... / Butch: Grrr...
GPF Archive: Tuesday, January 11, 2000 Butch: Why don't you watch where you're going, little man? / Fooker: Why don't you go stand in front of someone else's apartment, Gruesome? / Butch: Jason... Barker? / Fooker: B- Butch K-Kilgore?! / Butch: Why, I haven't beaten you up since high school! / Fooker: Seems like old times already...
GPF Archive: Wednesday, January 12, 2000 Butch: You mean to tell me you live in this dump, Barker butt? / Fooker: Unfortunately. What's your excuse for being here? / [[Trudy enters]] / Trudy: Hi, Butch darling... Oh, I see you know Fooker! / Fooker: TRUDY?! / Butch: Be right with you, my little pigeon poisoner. I want to pound this runt first. / Fooker: Definitely a match, but not made in heaven... / {{Reference to Tom Lehrer song, "Poisoning pigeons in the park"}}
 
GPF Archive: Thursday, January 13, 2000 [[Fooker stumbles in, badly bruised, as the slime molds Fred and Persephone heckle.]] / Fred: Hail the conquering hero... / Persephone: Fooker! What happened? / Fooker: My old high school bully Butch Kilgore is dating Trudy, the girl next door. He beat me up for old time's sake. / Fred: At least you have no honor to defend. / Fooker: Now they're on their way to a "Friday the 13th" marathon, because they find it romantic. / Fred: Persephone, get the gun. I'm going to put him out of his misery.
GPF Archive: Friday, January 14, 2000 [[Fooker arrives to work with a black eye from two comic strips ago]] / Nick: What a shiner! / Ki: Fooker! What happened! / Fooker: Trudy is dating my old high school bully. He decided to beat me up for old time's sake. Trudy, of course, watched with glee. My life as a punching bag is renewed. / Nick: You're not a kid anymore, Fooker. You CAN take legal action... / Fooker: No time. We've got an appointment for him to pound me at noon.
GPF Archive: Saturday, January 15, 2000 Trudy: I'm so glad you and my boyfriend get along so well, Fooker! / Fooker: He used to give me wedgies and wet willies in Junior High. / Trudy: I can see an inseparable bond forming between you... / Fooker: He once super-glued my nostrils shut and made me eat frog guts in biology. / Trudy: When he beats you up, it makes me so... EXCITED... (GROWL)... / Fooker: I won't even MENTION the jock strap incident...
GPF Archive: Monday, January 17, 2000 [[A bruised Fooker at home talking with Fred the Slime Mold.]] / Fred: I see Trudy's new boyfriend beat you up again, Fooker. / Fooker: Shut up, Fred. / Fred: They seem like quite the couple. Sadistic, cruel... I can see where pounding you would be so fun to them. / Fooker: Shut up, Fred. / Fred: If you had a superior intellect like me, I'm sure you could find a way to break up this happy union... / Fooker: Keep talking, Fred...
GPF Archive: Tuesday, January 18, 2000 Fred: What, you want me to come up with a way to break up Trudy and her boyfriend? / Fooker: No... But I think I'M getting an idea... / Fred: You? An idea?! That would be a phenomenal event. The world must be coming to an end... / Fooker: Their relationship is built on the mutual joy of sadistic pain inflicted on others. Hmm... / [[Fooker with evil maniacal grin]] / Fred: You... You really are getting an idea, aren't you? / Fooker: And what a jolly whopper bongo one it is. What?
 
GPF Archive: Wednesday, January 19, 2000 Butch: Back for another pounding, Barker butt? / Fooker: Not today, Butch. Just returning this magazine to Trudy. / Butch: Magazine? / Fooker: Yeah, "Better homes and kitchens." Ya know, the one filled with all the frilly, sweet, sugary happy advice and ideas? / Butch: She subscribes to "Better Tombs and Dungeons." Not that... FILTH. / Fooker: Oh, my, my, my. Have YOU been misled. Trudy's not HALF the witch she claims to be...
GPF Archive: Thursday, January 20, 2000 Fooker: Trudy's not the sadistic, vile little monster you fell in love with. She's really a sweet, loving, caring individual. She helps the poor. She gives to charity. She's deceiving you, Butch. / Butch: I don't believe you, Barker. / Fooker: Really? Then why do you think she smiles all the time? / Butch: Uh... I don't... Uh... / Fooker: The joy of her heart, Butch. She's the most caring woman on earth. / Butch: Then how do you explain her medieval torture device collectoin? / Fooker: Family heirlooms to be donated to museums for posterity. Has she mentioned her adopt-a-child donations?
GPF Archive: Friday, January 21, 2000 Fooker: Here she comes, Butch. Listen closely to her voice. You'll hear that syrupy sweetness that will give you so many cavities you'll send a dentist's kid to med school. / Trudy: <> Hello, Butch, my darling! <> / Butch: AHHHH! You're right! I'm outta here! / Off-screen: <> / Trudy: Wha... What happened?! / Fooker: That's the sound of all the bones of my body healing instantaneously.
GPF Archive: Saturday, January 22, 2000 [[Trudy, steamed. Approaches Fooker at work.]] / Trudy: You ruined my social life, Fooker! I will personally make your life miserable for the rest of your days! You will regret running off my boyfriend for the rest of your life! / Fooker: Maybe so... But it'll be worth it.
GPF Archive: Monday, January 24, 2000 Ki: Fooker... I need to ask a favor of you... / Fooker: Anything for my favorite short Oriental chick... / Ki: I've been so confused with my feelings for Nick lately. I don't know where to turn. The IRC thing. The Space Con. New Year's... It's all a blur. I need to know how he feels about me, but I can't... Can't ask... / Fooker: So you want me to do some friendly espionage, right? / Ki: Please?!
 
GPF Archive: Tuesday, January 25, 2000 Fooker: I don't know, Ki... I don't like spying on a friend, even for another friend... / Ki: Oh, come on, Fooker. / Ki: I HAVE to know how he feels about me. Just go up to him, strike up a conversation on relationships, share a few of your feelings, and get him to open up about his... / Fooker: Guys don't talk about feelings. We grunt, scratch, and ask, "Did you get any last night?" / Ki: Work with me, Fooker.
GPF Archive: Wednesday, January 26, 2000 Ki: Please, Fooker! I NEED you to find out if Nick likes me, or if he only thinks of me as a friend. / Fooker: Much as I'd love to see you two together, you'll have to let me think about it. / [[A beat. Fooker drinks from a cup.]] / <> / Ki: What if I set you up with one of my girlfriends from college...? / Fooker: Done thinking. So where is she?
GPF Archive: Thursday, January 27, 2000 Fooker: Okay, I'll interrogate Nick and find out how he feels about you. Any specific questions? / Ki: Well... / Ki: I know he's not seeing anybody... Just ask him if he sees me as just a friend, or potentially something more. Find out if he's interested in someone else. What does he look for in a woman... / Ki: Good grief! Don't write that down! What if he reads it? / Fooker: You want me to actually remember this, right?
GPF Archive: Friday, January 28, 2000 Fooker: Okay. Nick and I are hanging out tomorrow, shoot some pool, catch a movie, etc. Sometime during the day, I'll get him to spill his guts about how he feels about you. / Ki: Thanks. / Fooker: I will betray my own kind to supply the enemy with the necessary data to snatch her prey... / Ki: Very funny. / Fooker: Ya know, some "Mission: Impossible" music would work in here pretty well... / Ki: Will you get outta here?
GPF Archive: Saturday, January 29, 2000 [[Ki in bed, as her cat Randi climbs over her]] / Ki thinks: Tomorrow, Fooker is going to finally find out how Nick feels about me. And, of course, I can't sleep a wink. / Randi:<< Mreow?>> / Ki: Am I crazy? Maybe I'm just imagining things. Maybe Nick has no feelings for me. But maybe this is it, when we finally put aside the facade and freely express our love for each other? / Randi: <> / Ki: Or... Maybe I'm lying awake in my bed in the middle of the night, talking to my cat... / Randi: <> <> <>
