Barbelith -
The Chicken Coop.
Who do you peck?
And who pecks you?

I am grain,
fulfilling the role of peckee.
Without me, all would starve.

I don't think you'll find many on Barbelith who would deny that I am a great big cock. Some might even say a complete cock.

Hrmph. I'd describe myself as, generally, second tier.

We all know the first teir people are Barbeloids like Ganesh, Haus, Runce, Whiskey Preistess, Saveloy, Flyboy etc. People who have been around ages, post lots, and are well-respected.

I, however, have been around ages but don't post that often. Except maybe in the Magick forum, where I fall far behind people like, say, Wyrd.

Relatively over-sized, probably. Don't be too tough on yourself.

I'm Ganesh's bitch, so I know my place: prostrate.

I am the walrus, coo-coo-ca-choo.

I am also the centre of the clique on Barbelith. By my word alone is it decided who is cool and who is innercircle.

Whisky Priestess

15:25 / 24.02.03

Tish, Tann/Haus! Not a complete cock. Maybe just a little pecker.

And I suppose, given my name, that in the Barbelith barnyard I'd be the Famous Grouse. Or maybe the Wild Turkey. Not sure where that puts me in the pecking order though.

Let me put it like this. Feel a stabbing pain on the top of your head?

You're probably feeling a little beaky.

rizla mission

15:34 / 24.02.03

I'll be The Panda then, if that's ok by everyone.

Where that places me, I don't give a damn.

I imagine chickens would be wise enough to ignore a big ol' panda hanging out in their henhouse and vice versa.. but, er, I've quite possibly lost the Barbelith half of the metaphor completely there and am just talking about animals.

You guys are making me hungry... and horny.

My sister had a chicken once, called Belinda. It used to sit on her head, and shoulders sometimes.

Very tame chicken was Belinda.

Ended up having her intestines ripped out and pulled over her head by a fox, never been quite sure why the fox didn't eat Belinda though.

Anyway... that's my story, can I be in the upper echelon now?

Haus is actually built from the mystical fragments of the Harvard ice Penis.

I, on the other hand, am....er. What am I again?

What ... Captain Beaky? And his magic band?
Cool.

RE: never been quite sure why the fox didn't eat Belinda though.

Either, (and entirely unrelated,) the fox thought heaven was a place on earth... in carlisle to be precise.

or the fox was possibly disturbed. It's a common misconception that foxes waste their food. When in fact, what they do, is kill all the chickens, and then, one by one, drag them away and bury them in little stash spots, for future reference.

So in the metaphor of the thread, the fox is probably some kind of eco-friendly serial killer.
hence the old expression: 'As cunning as an eco-friendly serial killer'

Is that the barnyard equivalent of an atomic wedgie?

@ Bod (The Second)

07:27 / 25.02.03

and if they have too many chickens to bury, they send the rest to starving foxes in famine-stricken countries in the third world.

These are the eco-friendly serial killers with a social conscience.

I think I'm regressing back to childhood. Definitely going on the next mix tape...

The moderators are the heart of Barbelith: the elite. The rest of you just clutter the place up. We'd be better off without you.

I'm so looking forward to massaging your prostate gland for you (with my special tool), Sax Kitten, just to correct your terminology, of course.

There should be no confusion about the Barbaristocracy. It is clearly signalled by the number of syllables. Monosyllabic posters rule. We are carried around on gilded biers by our polysyllabic minions, dusted in gold paint and wearing only tattooed sigils. Or certainly should be.

Silly me, I thought it was some equal opportunity thing where, like, everyone's opinion was, you know, treated equally and with respect, maybe.

But if there's a Premier League etc., then that must make me Farnborough Town. Or maybe Southend United.

Yeah, baby! I'm IN!

That was, of course, a deliberate gag to present myself as a faux naif whose errant behaviour demands a stern hand.
