heya numbuh 638!
thanks for writing all the way from hong kong! we love getting long
distance mail! so let's get those questions answered, shall we?
Q1: Instead of asking what episodes will appear (like the kajillion kids before me), can you tell me what 2X4 gadgets will appear? I'm really into the machines.
A: i guess i can tell you a couple! there's the KND GUMMBO, GO-GO-GORILLA, HOT-SHOT, and the STORK!
Q2: Do you name the episodes yourself? What's the key to making a good meaning that's simple and meaningful?
A: i make most of the acronyms. the key is cheating when you have to. like using a K instead of a C or making up words! and get a thesaurus! they help a lot!
Q3: Do you go to FanFiction.net? If you find a really good fic, will you take that idea or at least jot it down somewhere?
A: cartoon netork doesn't allow me to look at fan fics! they don't want people accusing me of stealing their story...which i'd never ever do anyway, but you never know what someone might try to say!
Q4: Are there any episodes that didn't make it?
A: there are lots of stories that we started to write, but then at some point they fizzled out!
Q5: Do you help with the Cartoon Network games? (Operation BEST, Operation RAIL, etc.)
A: some of them. i never even saw RAIL until it came out but they did a GREAT job!
Q6: How do you get those weird ideas of 2X4 Technology? Not anyone can think of those stuff. Do you make up the shape and fill in with gadgets (as in, you make the shape of Hippy Hop, then decide this cupboard goes here, this fridge goes there, etc.)? Do you make up the name
afterwards or before?
A: we come up with the name and a short description when we write the story but then out sooper genius design team builds...er, DRAWS, them! they're amazing artists!
Q7: People say when Numbuh 86 turned into a dog in Operation: GRADUATES and an operative said, "That figures," is that a joke which is saying Fanny's a b****?
A: maybe they meant it 'figures' because she's irish and she turned into an irish setter!
Q8: According to Wikipedia, 86 is used in a restaurant to mean 'We're out of that item'. Nowadays it means the removal or destruction of something. Is that the origin of her numbuh? (See:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code)
A: good catch! since she's head of decommissioning you could say that she "86's" people when she decommissions them
and there ya have it! thanks again for writing!
