The Late Shift: What the hell is going on here today?

21:25 / 08.03.04

Seriously. What the hell?

21:26 / 08.03.04

I hear you knocking. Maybe Barbelith has been possessed?

21:26 / 08.03.04

Isn't it just the usual madness and mayhem?

21:28 / 08.03.04

Yes, it is...madness and mayhem, oh baby how we love that marvellous tag-team of late night distraction.

21:33 / 08.03.04

No, no, no. It is not normally madness and mayhem. It is usually Kegboy talking about Bailey's cheescake and lots of people making references to pie.

21:34 / 08.03.04

Did somebody say pie?

I like pie.

21:36 / 08.03.04

*points*

See? Look! SEE?

21:40 / 08.03.04

Dammit now I want pie. You've ruined my dinner. I hate you all.

Lentil chili is like pie. Yes, now if only I can beleive that.

21:44 / 08.03.04

See, olulabelle noticed too. It's like the conversation just drove through a cloud of june bugs and they won't get off the windshield or something!

21:45 / 08.03.04

Well yes, OK. It starts as madness and mayhem and then everyone gets distracted by the pie (or a shiny object). Then everyone wants a piece of the pie, there's not enough to go around, which results in madness and mayhem and then someone throws in a new pie. Repeat.

21:45 / 08.03.04

Well fuck, now I want lentil soup! ARGH! A thousand times grumble!
-hops up and down-

21:46 / 08.03.04

Okay while I delude myself about my dinner, what do you mean? Being less than observant I'm missing what's off kilter.

21:48 / 08.03.04

There's a sad shortage of pie in the Conversation tonight. Someone seems to have replaced it with tossers. So this thread seems like a nice place to hide out until it all calms down.

And, of course, this thread has pie in it.

I think Barbelith has been discovered by a primary school. Or maybe a borstal. Or a primary borstal. At any rate, there certainly seems to have been a gust of idiots blowing through.

21:50 / 08.03.04

Hooray for pie!

21:51 / 08.03.04

But it's pie combined with lentil soup. So you have to be a real pie freak to get off on it.

None of your lemon meringue here, thank you. Oh no.

Mazarine is right. It's like full moon gone mad here tonight...

Now, if there's one thing that pissed me off, its tAlKiNg LiKe ThIs!!!
It's not clever, and it's only half big.

I'm very excited. Today, I went to town to look for a job, and came home with a ticket to London instead, for next tuesday. And I dont know if I'll come back or not.

So what do I do, where do I go? Whats cooking in London?

21:52 / 08.03.04

There's... there's just all these threads, and there's no abstracts, so you go in, and WHAM, june bug to the forehead. Usually I don't fuss about such things, but I'm feeling thin-skinned tonight, and usually there's just one or two of the june-buggy kinda thread that quickly sink, but today it's a swarm, and they're still flying. Beating themselves about like I'm beating the june-bug simile.

21:53 / 08.03.04

Being less than observant I'm missing what's off kilter.

There are strange people stalking the normally calm and serene posting time that is 00.49 Barbelith time. (Obviously that will be wrong, but that is inherent and to be expected with any mention of Barbelith time.)

Actually, what is wrong is possibly more a question of topic starting...

21:54 / 08.03.04

Well maybe we should get out of this thread and chastise the invaders!

But i want something first..........pass me the pie.

21:54 / 08.03.04

and abstract non-starting.

21:55 / 08.03.04

Jack Frost, there is only lentil pie and you have to pledge allegiance to true and loyal pie worshiping before we can share it.

21:55 / 08.03.04

Where are all the threads you mention? Let us bombard them with pie, Marx-Brothas Sty-lee.

21:56 / 08.03.04

See, even I'm acting weird tonight, usually I want the pie, I need the pie, and I actually want the lentils. Not in a pie, but in soup.

21:57 / 08.03.04

I've gone june-buggy too. I think I might cry.

21:57 / 08.03.04

Would a huggle help?

21:59 / 08.03.04

*pledges alligiance to true and loyal pie worshipping*

Pass me the pie dammit!

22:00 / 08.03.04

Yes. Yes it would. Thank you.

22:02 / 08.03.04

Huggle pie and happy soup to one and all.

22:02 / 08.03.04

Everybody, make me go to bed. I have packing to do. I am moving in three days. THREE DAYS. (By all means, read that shrilly, it's meant to be.) Make me do something other than goon about on Barbelith talking about lentil pie, it is quite ridiculous.

Mazarine is June-Bugginess a real thing and if so, what is it and why does it make you cry?

22:05 / 08.03.04

Would lentil pie be like shepards pie in that it has no tasty crust?

As for the strangers stalking forth, I recognize a lot of the names despite my primarily lurker status. I myself am here because it is spring break and my usual amusements have run off to sunnier places with their parents.

22:06 / 08.03.04

OK Jack, you get to join the club. Have some lentil pie, but be warned, it could be deemed a 'medium-spiced' dish.

Olulabelle: Organised packing is way too overrated. Pack in a panic, because then you have the joy and thrills of discovering the myriad ways you threw things into boxes, bags and bin liners.

22:06 / 08.03.04

Here...here...this is the weirdness. Whaaa?

I am joining Mazarine on the crying front.
