Just because the rest of you are trying so hard to be deep, sensible and conformist I don't see why I should. I like Flux's threads, I think they are funny, I like playing let's pretend, why won't you people let my play? Why are you being so sensible- this is the Internet, let's have some fun. I can be sensible about money, I can be sensible about everyday life, why aren't I allowed to play a game without everyone going nuclear about it? Barbelith is becoming boring but I swear to GOD I'm going to fight that boredom until the last breath has left my body because being bored is worse than anything.

Suedehead, do we have to talk about Vincent Gallo's cock? Do we really?

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

09:49 / 18.11.03

I feel a lot better these days. Thanks to those guys, barbelith is a place where I can be myself. I feel like I don't have to worry about every post now, I can just, y'know... I'm not scared to say what I think. Thank you Flux and Flyboy. You've changed everything round for me.

Sparks: Yes, yes we do. Vincent Gallo's cock is the Hatrix. I believe I made this remarkable discovery in another thread, but I expect everyone ignored it, so my references fall flat.

But it's true, noncetheless.

Are you part of the Hatrix?

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

It's probably better you can't see the unimaginable horror contained in the image I tried to post above.

10:07 / 18.11.03

Cripes, where did this come from? I was walking home yesterday thinking of threads to start and thanking the stars Joycore was dead, then today there's this fucker waiting for me- a howling mess of bitching which transmuted (largely by dint of Bio's stream of consciousness posting) into the reincarnation of the Core.
Mad thread. I'm off back to the Ghetto.

Sing with me Quantum, Suede. We've got the whole world, in our hands, we've got the whole wide world in our hands...

10:13 / 18.11.03

I take full responsibility for Bio's meltdown last night. I slipped him some klonapine in his vitamins.

Damn you, Flowers, why do you despise me so?

10:16 / 18.11.03

The storytelling threads were never about injokes, you silly people. They were about storytelling.

Joycore was injokes. Keep up.

10:22 / 18.11.03

Three cheers for Suedehead!

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

10:23 / 18.11.03

Can I just say, I don't mean to drag this back down...

But y'know, all those threads about barbelith dying/crying/frying/being important/pretentious/doing something I don't quite understand...

I find them all a bit alienating, and full of references I don't understand, and all a bit.. frankly... precious. Don't get me wrong, I like this place a lot. And I don't care about those threads, I don't read them. I guess I don't even pay a whole lot of attention to the way this place "works". But this place is more than accessing every little thing that goes on that I don't know about and/or understand - but so often they are held up as "this is good, we are important and making this place good". It's more than that, right?

It's all so serious... and seriousness has a place. Yes. But seriousness can also, you guessed it, take you over, make you part of the Hatrix, cause you to be unmoved by pop music and remain unaffected by pancake bunnies.

Nobody wants that. Certainly not this man.

Steve there, has the big new bible book of new rules, so if anyone has a problem, we ask him.

But for now, he says "Steve Buscemi fans unite!"

10:33 / 18.11.03

Steve Buscemi stole my goddam girlfriend. I'm not following his rules!

Sometimes I think we need to talk about the way it works but we did all that serious, let's go anal, stuff about a month or two ago and I think maybe it might be nice to relax a bit. You know, we don't even have any new members coming in and people from the outside can't even see the board. If we're ever going to have BarbPartyTime we're going to have it now. It's Tuesday, that explains everything. This must be fake Barbelith.

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

10:47 / 18.11.03

Oh I agree Tryph, it's just that I don't feel that's my place. But I want a place here. And I need a place as well, and here it is. As long as we all have a place. But if one place gets too overblown, then it seeps to other places and infects them with a dullness in which pancake bunnies are frowned upon. Frowned upon! Ya hear? You know that's when it's gone on long enough!

Steve says sorry Qalyn, but he also says let's party!

Here is freshly washed and blow dried Steve ready to get down:

"I'm all about the party! Fuck you guys!"

Just because he looks scared in the picture doesn't mean that isn't what he says. Trust me, guys.

He is, well, sorta funny-lookin', though, ain't he?

Oh, just one question, amidst all this love and Buscemery...

where did "496" come from? Am I missing out on some totally gematria/numerology non-Magick/Magick in/out joke (core)? Or is it a sports thing (in which case, don't even attempt to explain, cos me and sports, we just don't get on)?

Or is it, like... code or something?

To be honest I'm quite disappointed that there was some planning behind these threads I thought they were just improvised nonsense - they don't seem so funny anymore.

It's strange how these sort of negative threads grow so quickly, I'm not sure if that says something about Barbelith or Humans in general.

I agree bear - it totally spoilt it for me to read that there was a pre-planned story line - I was so impressed with what I thought was brilliant fast-thinking banter. Ah well. Best never to look behind the curtain.

Tryphena Absent

11:24 / 18.11.03

Well you might never have known. If people will push things than the truth will be revealed and instead of a nice yummy treat you get a plastic barbie doll. Sometimes it's best to live in ignorance of the set piece.

11:26 / 18.11.03

Absolutely. Though I do like the doll. And the marzipan's making me feel hungry.

what about crying whales? (what about us?) what about the common man? (what about us?) can't we set him free?

Well, some of the story is planned in advance, but 80% of it is improvised.

F Qalyn Damn you, Flowers, why do you despise me so?

Oh my friend, I haven't even started on you yet.

4. Qalyn. 100% fucker, all the fucking time. Don't believe anything this one says. It's lies. All of it. And the lies, are lies too. They go into a new uberrealm of lying. And hirs Mum dresses hir like that.

Tryphena- All very well and good but then someone goes too far and we're up to our necks in blood and spunk, again. One minute Flux and Fly and you are enjoying yourself, playing in the garden, the next minute Tom's concerned because he thinks someone's going to attack the board. Oh wait...

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

11:34 / 18.11.03

Ewww, I'm not going anywhere near any blood or spunk.

I don't know where you get the idea that we'd be up to our necks in it, but frankly I find it offensive. It might be alright for the gays but not me. Nosireebob.

Tryphena Absent

11:35 / 18.11.03

I rather think that the blood and spunk brigade managed to create this one all by themselves. If you want to see pain, torture and the death of the board go ahead but stop bringing innocent posters in to it. We just want to frolick in the garden and climb some trees. You people are making me sit in the corner clinging on to my Barbie Doll. It's like netball all over again with the death and the destruction and the forcing me to lie about my health. It's not the interhouse championship, it's a PE lesson!!!!

You always manage to drag things back to the Chalet School in the end don't you?

17:18 / 18.11.03

I've never lied about a true thing once in my life.

17:36 / 18.11.03

Thank you, I needed to wash my monitor anyway. Although perhaps I might have used something a bit more solvent than my soda.

18:54 / 18.11.03

There's gonna be some trouble...

22:04 / 18.11.03

Spankings?

22:07 / 18.11.03

A whole house will need rebuilding.

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

23:10 / 18.11.03

That's some hardcore spanking, man.

Typing "spanking" in to your google is bad for your computer.

SPANK ME!
