pointless and uncalled for
08:27 / 04.01.05
It's that time of year when we, once again, declare a very special kind of undying love for those around us.

So share with us those that cause a starry glint in the eye for you with a selection of their postings.

My horoscope this morning said that I should crush the next three posters in this thread but I'm not sure if I can trust it and will now be wearing a tin-foil beanie until further notice.

However, I do declare a blanket crush on my fellow gastrognomes for all their culinary joy in the '04 Gastronomicon threads, a little bit of love for Goodness Gracious Meme, Squirmelia and bitchiekittie.

Special mentions to Grey Area for outstanding play in Mornington Crescent and cat herding of travelling books and to Bedhead for some rather wonderful portraits of a handful of the locals.

GGM obviously, cos she da bomb.

Stoatie, just to make him concerned for his IRL safety. And cos he's a lovely.

Gingerbop, cos she can talk even more than I can.

Haus, cos he do make I laugh.

To save my blushes, I'm only going to confesses to crushes on Barbeloids I've never met nor am likely to anytime soon:

Cash Jackson
Bed Head
Saveloy
Mordant
Sax
Lurid
Jub
Deva
Jack Fear
grant
Perfect Tommy

Grey Area

Raising the bar in terms of sluttishness; lowering it in terms of declaring my reasons.

Pointless and uncalled for, I am flattered to be on the list, but are you sure you haven't confused me with a sweet potato? My culinary skills are unfortunately mainly limited to the extensive cooking of vegetables in a decaying microwave, although admittedly, I do have a certain amount of enthusiasm for sweet potatoes and would be happy to send you a delightful picture of celeriac, if you desire.

Squirmelia,

The named crushing was not specifically related and largely due to just being who you are.

Pictures of celeriac are always welcome, as they should be.

There's a distinction to be made, I think, between people we appreciate for their fine qualities as people (the long list) and people to whom we have a perhaps unfathomable attraction (the short list).

Crushing on Hott Mohawk and my wife, Clarice, at the moment.

It's the haircut and the beautiful shirt that did it.

I crush all the Barbelith artists!

The Fool I've used so many of his pictures for my desktop images. I know, I crushed him last year, but still...

Bed Head He's a great artist, and he seems like a decent guy. He should be crowned the warrior-prince of Barbelith.

Cameron Stewart Duh.

Pointless and uncalled for, thank-you. I will continue to read the Gastronomicon thread and maybe one day you will be able to crush me for my culinary skills. Until then, here is a picture of some celeriac that I consumed:

Oh Keggers, you know I wildly barbecrush you back. You do rock, my dear friend.

I still barbecrush everyone I had barbecrushed in 2004, (perhaps I shall make a comprehensive 2005 list later on), but I would like to add Lionheart to that list for being a near psychic and giving me something I needed one day. Thank you, sugar.

I am also now oddly crushing on some celeriac and stilton soup too. Maybe I should crush Squirmelia for that, hmm?

I've got to add one more person. I hope that doesn't make me a Barberostitute, or whatever the term is.

We should all crush diz for her work in the John Bryne forum. She (at least, I think she's a she) sacrificed her time and sanity to be the only girl those guys have ever talked to that didn't give birth to them.

Am I being too harsh? See for yourselves.

mmmm... crushes.

(/H. Simpson) I'm "suffering" from one real-life crush right now... I would damn all sexy redheads to some corner of Hell except that I then wouldn't have any fun at all!

Barbe-crushes? Ganesh, Haus, Deva, Plums/BIP/GGM, Mordantx, grant, and a few others give my brain an erection. As far as the rest of me goes, I think I've only met two of you in person; it really does take that personal flavour to extend the crush past my brain...

Not an exhaustive list, or in fact a list at all, just putting on record that I had to interrupt myself reading diz's first post on the 'Teaching American Literature' thread in the Head Shop to come here and declare my huge and undying love for hir.

Which is sort of ironic, really, because it means I'm no longer actually reading the post. But possibly if I had finished it I myself would have been crushed by the intensity of the love. Diz for King of Barbelith!

After this afternoon, I am double barbecrushing you Keggers.

Still catching up with the board, just read the last page of the 'Entertaining Repugnant Questions' thread in the Policy and fell head-over-heels in love with Seth. Seth! Why have I never crushed you before? Do you not dally in the fragrant fields of Books and the Head Shop? Or am I just completely unobservant? [resolves to change self forthwith]

thank you, Sean and Deva, for your love.

not to reinforce stupid gender binaries, but i generally identify as male, and i have the genitalia traditionally associated with males.

in my pants.

RIGHT NOW.

oooooh, yeah.

anyway, my crushes:

- i'm not sure if you can technically Barbecrush someone for extrabarb activity, but i was reading the blog of the poster currently known as No star here laces this morning, and i read this snippet:

"He said in a vaguely cockney accent "you're the most pretentious man I've ever seen, look at you with your sunglasses on your head". I said "well you're wearing all white and have a goatee so there's some pot/kettle action here". I was wearing black trousers that I'd painted big white horizontal stripes across - the sunglasses were necessary to complement them. Then diamond earrings were required to complement the sunglasses. I don't see the damn problem..."

and i was indeed struck by the Barbecrush fairy. his posts here are great, too.

- though i had long admired the great and mysterious Haus, it went to a whole 'nother level when i saw a list of how many posts each poster here has made. Haus was already well-established here when i first found Barbelith, and his presence today on this board dwarfs mine. however, according to the list i saw, he had made fewer posts overall than i had at the time the list was compiled. i was suitably humbled and deeply impressed.

- a little while ago, grant closed off one of his posts by saying he had to go finish working on some prophecies predicting tsunamis for America. sure enough, last night i walked into the 7-11, and there it was looking right at me from the cover of the Sun: Tsunamis headed for America! New prophecies inside. i got a warm fuzzy for grant then.

- i also return Deva's huge and undying love, for her fantabulous postseses.

Whatever, diz. I still crush you even with your male genitalia. I just thought that you were a girl because that's how you presented yourself over in the John Bryne forums ("that's one girl's opinion, anyway," etc).

that was camoflage for hunting fatbeards. i thought they would find a girl less threatening, and the slim possibility that they might get to fuck me if they got on my good side would give me more wiggle room.

In no particular order: Keggers, Bobossboy, Haus, Stoatie, Ariadne, Carly, Jack Fear, Finderwolf, and Von Kobra. And Gingerbop for good times past and future. And I'm sure I'm forgeting a bunch of you. You're all lovely, even if I have forgotten you, and my forgeting of you is clearly mine own fault, and not yours.
That being said, I'll be giving out candy to everyone of my crushes, as soon as I next see them.
