You've got my sympathies. Have a Van Dyke.
Were you looking to rent or buy the flat?

23:30 / 25.01.05

I'm still confused on the whole beard issue.

Ganesh

23:31 / 25.01.05

I'm bearded on the whole confusion issue.

No.5, luxuriant. I'm loving my facial hair right now.

ONLY NICE THINGS

23:39 / 25.01.05

I guess... at least they noticed it was unsaleable before the... um... sale. And, as you say, the market may well make up the money you've spent on this one. Christ, I'll be spending that much on a laptop, which I will almost certainly not be able to live in.

Right. Off to bed, I think. Sleep well, lovelies. Except THE MARTIAN.

alas

23:43 / 25.01.05

I'm still confused about this Van Dyke situation: does a goatee only fringe the very point of the chin? Isn't there some other name for the other beards? This seems like some Canadian thing like "chesterfield", to me. ..

And where does Laura Petre fit in to all this?

And why do I like my martians stirred, not shaken?

I'm concerned about shaken martian syndrome, I guess, but have any martians ever given me a flat as a result? Hmmm?

Night, Haus.

Level 20? 20?

But I wanna be Bagpuss NOW. 'snot fair.

alas

23:46 / 25.01.05

snot fair

I went to a snot fair once. It wasn't pretty.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:49 / 25.01.05

Were there Martians?

Smoothly

23:50 / 25.01.05

alas -

Not to be confused with the Goatee.

lekvar

23:52 / 25.01.05

alas, as I understand it, a goatee rings 'round the mouth, connecting the chin fur to the upper lip-fur.
A Van Dyke consists of a mustache and a bit of fur clinging, limpet-like, to the chin, the two never touching.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:52 / 25.01.05

The Go Team?
They're not Martian as well, are they?

Saint Keggers

23:53 / 25.01.05

the devil has a van dyk.

lekvar

23:56 / 25.01.05

Yeah, Keggers? So do I. What's your point, hmmmm? You trying to say something?

alas

23:56 / 25.01.05

WAIT! I'm getting different answers. What IS the beard that rings around the mouth! The vandyke is only a vandyke if there's a mustache? What kind of beard metaphysics is that, if the essence of a vandyke resides in the mustache? A mustache is not a beard!

And Martians invented both the snot fair and the goat-team.

Ganesh

23:57 / 25.01.05

And dykes have a van devil.

23:58 / 25.01.05

Damned clever buggers, those Martians. Damned clever.

autopilot disengaged

00:01 / 26.01.05

ahem.

yello barbe-buddies.

am online hijacking idyllic countryside scenes to detourne into post-ironic, artistic etc slides for my club nite. mayhap i may talk at you besides.

hmph. cd my typing style be any more mannered?

Ganesh

00:02 / 26.01.05

Hasn't this circle-beard/goatee stuff been thoroughly chewed-over in another thread?

Saint Keggers

00:07 / 26.01.05

Yes, I believe so. Beards do abound in Lithland.

alas

00:09 / 26.01.05

undoubtedly: this is barbelith, after all... we've been everywhere, man! we've done everything! and yet I can't be arsed at this time of night to do a thorough search.

meanwhile, I am eating a thoroughly non martian meal of MASHED POTATOES! I made myself! Because I came home and said: I want mashed potatoes and I want them now!

What I don't get, is why people call them "smashed potatoes." That's just wrong. That's like some grunge band somewhere, not a food that one can put leftove coq au vin gravy on!

Coq au Vin Diesel! Coq au Van Dyke!

Fyke! Fyke! Fyke!

i call the muskateer-style facial arrangement 'the muskatache', but i'm not a specialist or anything. i think you'd have to find the appropriate dept in yr local hospital for suchlike.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:15 / 26.01.05

Mashed potatoes, as everyone knows, are loved by badgers.

"Smash" is also a brand of instant mashed potato that had an advertising campaign featuring Martians in the 70s.

Saint Keggers

00:16 / 26.01.05

I call the musketteer style of facial arrangement "a sword in the face". I've seen the Disney movie. I know what I talk about.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:19 / 26.01.05

I've never understood the justification for musketeers being most famed for their sword-fighting. It'd be like having an army of drummers whose chunky riffing was legendary.

alas

00:31 / 26.01.05

I used to watch the mousketeers on re-runs after school and I don't remember any sword fighting to speak of.

All beards feel like a sword if the individual hairs are all carefully sharpened, as apparently all you beard wearers do. What, do you spend your nights with a microscope and a grindstone?

autopilot disengaged

00:31 / 26.01.05

a sword in the face?

geez, the french'll eat anything.

autopilot disengaged

00:46 / 26.01.05

that was a joke.

the usual way to tell is that i'm laughing and you're not.

yup.

and this - this is a monologue.

autopilot disengaged

00:49 / 26.01.05

oh.

hello loneliness.

what are you doing here?

oh. i see. yes.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:49 / 26.01.05

Like wot people wear in their eyes to look all classy like?

autopilot disengaged

00:52 / 26.01.05

no, that's a periscope. you imbecile.

what keeps you up so late, stoatie? oh wait - yr job?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:55 / 26.01.05

That'll be the bugger. Alhough strangely it makes me want to sleep far more than lying in my comfy bed ever did.

alas

00:56 / 26.01.05

I am here, still. But I often feel that sad feeling when it takes people awhile to respond, and so it's just my old response sitting there. So lonely. So unresponded-too. I just want to huggle it.

(Monologue? Isn't that a sexually transmitted disease?)

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:59 / 26.01.05

I thought it was a little spiny thing. Like a porcupine, except you can only hear it through one ear. In black and white.

Saint Keggers

01:04 / 26.01.05

Actually thats a monocle, as opposed to manacles, which is what we wear to umm....most things actually.

Saint Keggers

01:06 / 26.01.05

Ofcourse if we dont get our hull cleaned we all wear barnacles.
