Talk:Lowe Forbes

Lowe Forbes is briefly mentioned in a proposed addition to Lancelot Kane's page, where they are mentioned as being wrangled by Kane to keep them out of trouble while they were on the Jazz Hands. That proposal can be found here: Topic:Wr5puj3xvw9fw727

I'm planning to add updates to Forbes page to cover some of their time with the Flowers, what follows is a short summary:

- Forbes is "wrangled"/"handled" by Zesty Yaboi, but in reality they are both wrangled by Margarito Nava. - Forbes often causes chaos alongside Sutton Bishop, and often uses Bishop as a distraction. - Margarito Nava and The Garden have conspired to grow fruit/vegetables in the shape of fans so Lowe Forbes will eat them.

Gonna remove the JHLore banner, though I'll leave the fake IRM untouched; if someone wants to rename that to something better, it'd probably be smart, but I won't touch it for now.

Hello, I have a proposal for the addition of three new vignettes to the Lowe Log to coincide with the also-proposed update to the new standardized vignette format. They're all extremely short due to the nature of the Lowe Log, so I am putting all three in one proposal:

1

Every evening, Lowe Forbes can be found growling and barking at the local plostal service truck as it delivers mail to The Pocket. When asked about this, Forbes stated "They know what they did" before continuing to bark.

---

2

Lowe Forbes once left The Pocket in the middle of a game to sit on a couch a Breckenridge resident had left on the curb several blocks from the stadium.

---

3

Lowe Forbes is banned from the Breckenridge Hlome Dlepot due to numerous incidents of entering the hardware store and eating the ceiling fans that are on display. This happens so often that new Hlome Dlepot employees are taught to call the Jazz Hands to send someone to retrieve Forbes.

---

All three of these will be separate IRM entries on the registry.

(for the uninitiated, The Lowe Log is in part an exercise in taking stories about your pets and replacing their name with Lowe Forbes, to explain the tone of 1 and 2).

This is just a proposal to update Lowe's IRM to use the Vignette format, as that appears to fit the contents of the Lowe Log, short stories about Lowe's behavior, the best.

Will be adding the rest of the un-added bits from the Multiverse thread onto the page unless the original authors add them themselves.

Nandy Slumps & Lowe Forbes are rivals, and also compulsive liars about the truth of their rivalry. This will be the IRM of all the stories they tell about all the different versions of each other across the multiverse.

EDIT: Oh yeah, in keeping w/ proper IRM collab policy: this'll be a new section called "The LoweNandy Infinirivalry" and though it will use IRM tech, it will not occupy or replace the IRM section, because we like to make things confusing I guess. Individual pages will still be called "rumors" though.

Lowe ate (out of boredom, not hunger) several of Nandy's prized antique fans leading to a series of back and forth revenge eatings of precious antiques.

Nandy and Lowe were in gradeschool together when Nandy claimed in a report to the class that bats were bugs. Lowe interrupted her in front of everyone to state that, since bats were invertebrates, it was impossible for them to be bugs. This enraged Nandy who took it shouted that Lowe had "made an enemy for life" while throwing a 3rd grader at them

Lowe in an player interview, unprompted, claimed to have invented Cinnamon. This enraged Nandy who's upcoming autobiography also made the same claim

In the Blaseball Quarterly Theater review showcase, Lowe's Shakespearean magnum opus was the subject of a roundtable discussion. The show was a one-person version of Twelfth Night set in cold-war era Finland, where Lowe played every character, spoken entirely in Finnish while still in iambic Pentameter. The roundtable heaped near unanimous acclaim and glowing reviews. Except for lone dissenting voice Nandy Slumps, who claimed that the show was 'pretty standard, not very impressive or unique" and that Lowe's performance was "easy enough anyone could do it" and "somehow they're a worse actor than they are pitcher". An infuriated Lowe fired back by writing: "A REVIEW OF NANDY SLUMPS THE PERSON" which was published in Forbe's self published newspaper THE LOWE FORBES MAGAZINE FOR COOL PEOPLE. The review was equal parts scathing and typo-ridden. Lowe claimed that Nandy was "LACKING IN GOODTHINGS, TOTTAL SAD MORONFACE" and "PROPOPLY DOESNT EVAN KNOW WHAT A HORSE IS". These back and forth public rebukes have continued to this day, becoming more and more baseless, and less and less readable

Lowe was a fresh rookie in the under leagues when aged veteran Nandy pranked them by filling their shoes with molton Boron

Nandy stole one of Lowe's blindfolds one time, realised that Lowe wore mutliple, defeating the purpose of the prank. In revenge, Lowe stole one of Nandy's tea towels, which they now wear as another blindfold.

Nandy and Lowe once tried to resolve their longstanding rivalry with a contest of sports from their area, With Lowe proposing a Snowball fight, and Nandy proposing a Mahjong competition. Lowe lost the snowball fight not being to hit Nandy because of their blindfold, but somehow winning the Mahjong competition. To this day they both claim the other one cheated on both events and the rivalry hasn't been resolved.

Nandy once took Lowe's blindfold, but their blindfold prevented them from seeing it happen, and so it didn't.

Once Nandy ordered spicy chicken nuggets from a fast food restaurant, unaware that Lowe was working there. Lowe prepared her a batch of completely regular chicken nuggets, without the spice. Nandy rightfully complained about it, but Lowe in response decided to use some sort of unseen power to remove any tangible spice from every single chicken nugget in a 300 meter radius.

Nandy and Lowe once got into a three hour long fight where all they did was teleport behind each other across several states. The fight finally ended when Lowe fell into an open manhole cover somewhere in Minnesota.

Want to change the marriage section to read "Because Forbes shares a last name with Brock Forbes, Lowe Forbes incorrectly believes that the two are married, claiming that the marriage is for "tax evasion". Brock Forbes is unaware of this.", as discussed in Jazz Hands discord chat.

Want to add two new IRM entries to the Lowe Log: "Forbes never knew that they became a batter in Reverb. They were steered to home plate instead of the pitcher's mound and given a bat instead of a ball, and swung by throwing the bat."

"Lowe Forbes has never been allowed to use a computer because they eat the fans inside."

(this is already on the page because I thought these were minor and was wrong - sorry)

Proposed IRM entry:

Once, the morning of an away game at the Boston Garden, Lowe Forbes brought a live bird into Steph Weeks' room at 5am, proceeding to eat it whole on the kitchen floor. When asked for comment on this incident, Lowe Forbes simply said "alarm clock" before scurrying into the nearest air vent.

As proposed in the Jazz Hands chat on maincord, we would like to make Lowe's IRM more general to create a home for the short bits about them that keep popping up on Discord, but keep the Infinirivalry. We'd like to do this by making the current IRM, which only has two entries, into the Lowe Log and moving the LoweNandy Infinirivalry to a <choose> tag, since it has short entries and is currently not heavily used.
