Uncle Sporkums

Well, this is another turning point in what passes for my existence here, namely the last one. From the time I was briefly active here (minus the previous years lurking, and the multiple years of hiatus in between, I have basically decided to hang it up. It's a bit of a polarized decision, given the fact that most of my activity was actually spent at the neighboring DCTP (which I'm most likely leaving as well) my having still made a few acquaintances here, given that my RL is even more miserable, it's actually just as frustrating staying. A number of factors have added up to this, and ultimately, it seems this is simply another chapter in my life I must bring to a close. I thank those here who were supportive and I thank those who I was able to engage in some interesting dialogues with. US

Okay, I tried. This wasn't worth it,

New case hints from animal crossing. Thanks to Fujiwara. "The next case will be about Ramen~" "Even though my waistline has recently become problematic." "Shuukichi seems to like Ramen *laughs*" "And Sera likes Ramen too. Does that mean...?"

Yeah, I keep imagining conversations in the future on message boards like "Could've been worse.. Could've ended like Detective Conan!" Btw, Uchiha, I think your new sig pic may be a little too big, not sure about the rules around here. -Moderator Hijack: Chek's rule of thumb is that if it takes up a whole browser window, it's gotta get boxed.

Giving it another try. Chapter 12 http://drmuttonchops.deviantart.com/art/Detective-Conan-Alternate-Bourbon-Arc-Chapter-12-553845935?ga_submit_new=10%253A1439632093

Startold and Jecka have estimated that the "Dad should calm down now." is written from Ran's perspective, while the "Sanada-kun" comment is from Ai's concerning the case. That returned everything to the status quo.

Spimer has translated some latest case related ones. Pic 1: "I'm on a diet right now." Pic 2: "That should make dad (his own?) calm down." Pic 3: "My bad, Sanada - kun!" Pic 4: "Yamada - san's an Italian Wine as well!"

Movie Maker software. It's not the fault of the equipment, but my not timing my voice right in places.

I put together this little English dub clip from the Meeting with the BO clip in the style of the Case Closed dub with myself doing Pisco assuming Bill Flynn may have played him and using Troy Baker's Gin voice. There are a few missing effects and delays, but try to enjoy it for what it is. http://www.veoh.com/watch/v92541282kE6m59qa

Nice catch!

Nice job as usual, Chek! There are some pretty big plotholes. If I had finished my Alternate Bourbon story, this may have served as a blueprint on the mistakes to avoid.

I agree with the "sense" thing, but keep in mind that "strong" doesn't have to mean "strongly built and muscular".

Some more, courtesy of Jecka. Special thanks as well to Spimer for the quick translation. It's related to the latest case. Pic 1: "I decided to begin with a light-hearted case... * laughs *..." Pic 2: "I tend to wonder if it's fitting but... ( )" Pic 3: "It isn't! (`^´)" Pic 4: "It's named "Italian Wine"! * laughs *..."

Chapter 11. May be the last one for all I know. http://drmuttonchops.deviantart.com/art/Detective-Conan-Alternate-Bourbon-Arc-Chapter-11-547402518?ga_submit_new=10%253A1437301207

Agreed on both counts. So excited to see the unexpected team up of these two.

PirateKing over at DCTP had this theory, which I found pretty interesting:

The next case in the back on schedule "love revelation" will be in an Italian restaurant, per the official Shonen Sunday site.

Still in the top ten. I'd say his job's still secure.
