It’s raining. Thus, today’s paper is wet.

Conversation:
“Any Epileptics on Barbelith?” –medical mayhem and such

Policy & Help is off on a cruise. They’ll be back next week, relaxed and swimming.

Head Shop:
“In the Name of the Cross” –The English flag and religious issues.

The Laboratory:
“Fly Bottles” –What is a fly bottle? That’s what this is about.
“The Sound of the Universe Beginning” –Cass shares hir sentiments about the universe’s beginning. Why don’t you?

Switchboard:
“On Not Voting” –With lower voter turn outs every year, have political elections simply gone out of style?
Temple:
“The Order of the Golden Bough?” –Informative thread posting about the Golden Bough
“The Importance, Use and Power of Modern Pop Icons in (Chaos) Magick…” –Title says it better than I could.

Art, Fashion & Design was cast adrift in a great storm. Now they wait for sign of land or food…
Books is going snorkeling right now.

Comic Books:
“Morrison back on Animal Man????” –Could he return?
“DC: Identity Crisis” –Guess what kiddies: This years DC-Mega-Crossover-With-Everyone-You-Can-Imagine-in-DC’s-Universe might not suck! (uh…what?)

So it’s all washed up.

I think you're very good at this, young Spyder, but won't you get bored with it?

Due to rainy weather, we're afraid that the Stigmatics Society meeting scheduled to take place at the bandstand this evening has been moved to the roller disco, where the weekly roller disco will also take place as planned. So, come along for an evening of wheely bloody good fun.

*bing-bing-bong*

I don't care how bad it smells, Peggy, get in there!

I hope not, Illmatic. This seems like a decent idea to me, and I'm finding posts I'd never think to look at by doing this.

It's basically a human version of the old "Most recently updated threads" box, except it only shows new threads. Which gives a bit of a lopsided view of some fora where thread turnover is low but thread contribution level, but that'slife. I';m also not sure about the summaries - would an epilepsy sufferer be delighted to see the epilepsy thread described as "medical mayhem and such", for example? It might be more useful, although less creative, to use the thread summaries...

I thought of that. The biggest problem is that not all new threads have summaries. I guess I could just write summaries when there aren't any...

Personally, I'm thinking this is a good project. I've been checking it every day, anyway.

Though maybe we could meld the Hi-de-Hi with the functionality? That'd be cool.

I agree that it's a good idea and thank you very much Spyder - I've already visited fora that I wouldn't have done, but I should do more about that myself if I'm being honest...

I think it's a good plan. But don't Spyders have a limited capacity a la Charlotte's Web?

I'm not sure "medical mayhem" is terribly accurate. Unless you taped big fuckoff knives or swords to the epileptic's arms and legs and chucked hir into a crowded room*, "mayhem" in the strictest sense is unlikely to ensue. Maybe grazed knees and elbows, or a head injury if you're unlucky, but not actual mayhem.

yeah nice thread Spyder, you also got me looking in new places.
Haus have you ever worked at Butlins?

Religious issues, certainly the whole thing revolves round iconography but that's hardly an excuse to call it religious.

We would like to apologise again for the events at the Mums and Dads 70s covers band evening by the pond last night. If we had known that somebody was going to take the lyrics so literally, we would have made sure that we moved Cecil the white swan from the pond to a safe location beforehand.

Spyder's Good Morning Barbelith is Joycore and gives me a happy, and I'll have a pissing contest with anyone who says different. And now, I would like to dedicate this song to Barbelith's own Newsboy Legion.

Ladies and gentlemen!
Ladies and gentlemen!
