Why is this place so quiet?

Ah, you see, that's just the sort of technicality previously exploited by unscrupulous posters... a glass begins as a blunt instrument, and ends as a bladed weapon... somewhere in between a line is crossed. (Not that being hit with, say, a mug, would be desirable, but for the purpose of argument...)

I still wanna know exactly what the appearance of Tony at the end meant... 'sokay, guys, I'll take it to the Filth thread. (I hope it meant something good, though... no shit, Tony was the character I felt most for.)

As much as i loathe bringing this damn thread lurching back to life like a member of the undead i'd just like to say that i'm very happy here now. It doesn't matter to me anymore that the site isn't some type of 24hr party zone like i seemed to have been desiring in the first post here, it's neat because there's some really cool stuff being discussed all over in different forums.

One of the numerous problems i had when writing this thread was the fact that i hadn't even visited a lot of the forums to see what was being talked (typed) about. Now that i've done that i'm a lot happier.

Also the fact that i was only going backwards and forwards between here and the magic forum like some type of deranged, frothing, mid-initiation key-23 victim.

Much better now, the thread can die with a little more meaning and clarity attached to the end of it.

What's all this about glassing cats anyway? That's just plain sick. I'm not a violent person, but... if someone would try to hurt one of my cats I could see myself at the very least causing that person bodily harm. Hell, even if it wasn't my cat...

Beats me, i don't think i even want to find out............

Bloody hell, it's dead quiet at the moment isn't it. What's going on? If we don't start talking I'm going to have to do work, and that's just unfair...

There ain't no monorail here and there never was.

Monorail, monorail, monorail...

Miss Hoover: I hear those things are awfully loud...

Lyle Lanley: It glides as softly as a cloud.

Apu: Is there a chance the track could bend?

Lyle Lanley: Not on your life, my Hindu friend.

Barney: What about us brain-dead slobs?

Lyle Lanley: You'll be given cushy jobs.

Abe: Were you sent here by the devil?

Lyle Lanley: No, good sir, I'm on the level.

Wiggum: The ring came off my pudding can.

Lyle Lanley: Take my pen knife, my good man.
I swear it's Springfield's only choice...
Throw up your hands and raise your voice!

Can I just point out that I made this thread almost a year ago, for anyone thinking I'm still as insane as I was back then.

I still don't know where everyone is though, I'm stuck in a computer program on the planet Sirius with three-eyed googlers prodding me with long, sharp pins.

Wow, Head Shop, Switchboard, no activity for days, Policy, Magic, no activity for days after the top thread or two, I'm having to do work instead you unfeeling bastards!

So I was wondering, with a free board, providing we have the ability to shut down registrations so people have to email us, and providing moderation can be done so that moderators have to vote on requests, is there anything else that we would really need in the short term to experiment with 'the relacement for Barbelith'? I'm wondering if worrying about having everything perfect from the word go means that we're never going to manage to get anywhere and just end up grumbling about Tom...

Here is a story about an otter. Maybe people would like to talk about otters?

16:24 / 23.07.07

Did someone say otters?

Otters are great. I especially love Otters named Odie and Gwynivere. And Otter Space sounds like an amazing place to visit. A whole nebula of Otters floating around freely sniffing each other. Let the howdy era commence.

Otters? Too much like Marmots if you ask me.

I like otters.

Especially Phillipe.

So if you couldn't meet an otter, but you could meet a celebrity instead, what celebrity would be almost as good as an otter?

And DON'T say "Neil Tennant."

Robert Goulet

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

21:27 / 23.07.07

For some reason, RG there is a very distressing man in that picture.

21:39 / 23.07.07

I can't decide whether its his "I hab a sawr toof" look or his "I will be spitting on you shortly" look.

21:46 / 23.07.07

Either way, he is clearly not instead of an otter. You blatantly fail at otter appreciation.

21:46 / 23.07.07

Just in that picture, Papers? We're talking about someone who's sung to Bart Simpson, been shanghaied mere inches from a feline Toulouse-Lautrec, and been a Mike Allred character here. All while remaining quite Canadian, despite the handicap in that area of being American. And capable of killing, simply by clearing his throat, so devestating could his disapproval be.

Still... he's up against otters here. Otters. Who may also perform lounge shows for you.

21:59 / 23.07.07

"All while remaining quite Canadian, despite the handicap in that area of being American"

Bah! He was born to Canadians in the U.S. and spent his first 3 months there. And THAT makes him american???
(ok, technically, it does.) He's trying to get his rightfull Canadian Citizenship. And he's on the freekin Walk of Fame! Any more canadian and he'd sweat maple syrup!

But where is the otterliness?

22:22 / 23.07.07

"otterliness"? There is no otterliness. There doesnt have to be. what celebrity would be almost as good as an otter?
There is no otterliness implied in that question, just an equating of the goodness levels of a celebrity to levels found in an otter.

The fact that this is the most active thread on Barbelith currently, depresses me.

Especially because you should all be joining in this one.

22:58 / 23.07.07

I've checked, there is no Robert Goulet or otters in that thread. Also, Ive never seen the subject so for me to comment on or contribute to the thread would be a waste.

There are Otter Nurseries at a place called Ottery St. Mary. For years, I wanted to go there and see the baby otters. The place even has one of those brown English Heritage signs. And then I discovered... it's a plant nursery called "Otter Nurseries". No otters of any sort.

Still absolutely heartbroken, but thank God I didn't persuade my Mum to take me there when I was a kid.

08:19 / 24.07.07

Yes, it is now time to link to the otter posts in our beloved cute thread.
