Can I make a PDF of the Barbarian Wisdom Thread?

I have the technology, I'm after permissions. Taking the barbarian wisdom thread, turning it into a PDF and spreading it round the net. Anyone got anything invested in it they'd rather I not do this with?

A vague feeling that you had to be there?

I think if we were going to make a Booke of Barbarian Wisdom to circulate online, we could do a lot better than just compiling the thread. For one thing, I submit that there should be a framing narrative about the intrepid 'civilised' scholar in our midst writing all of these sayings down, though their import ze knows not.

But if you really gotta, AFAIAC, go ahead.

Yes, if it was actually in the style of a "Little Book"- a compilation of the thread would just be too in-jokey. I like the idea, but there needs to be more to it.

That "Little Book" idea is good. It could be something of a Barbaronomicon.

The writer could be a kidnapped scholar, sitting in the back of the yurt, listening to his bellowing captors, secretly etching the wisdom in a hidden mammoth bone.

That bone then was recently discovered in the British Museum archives by an idle doctoral candidate, who translated and published the BoBW as his doctoral thesis.

And eventually modern day barbarians approved and put the Little Book on the internet, where it spread like Thulsa Doom´s teachings in yonder days of old.

You could have a little book with a few carefully chosen ones, and get somebody to do a cartoon next to each. That could be quite good actually. I could see that selling well next to the till at Waterstones.

N.B. A MAN WHO DISTRIBUTES MATERIAL ON THE INTER NET IN THE FORM OF PDFS, WHEN SUCH MATERIAL IS NOT EXPLICITLY FORMATTED FOR PRINTING BUT IS MERELY WORDS AND PICTURES TO BE READ ON THE INTER NET, IS NO MAN BUT A THING OF IMMENSE ANNOYANCE - YEA, MORE ANNOYING THAN SMALL CHILDREN ON MINI MOTORBIKES OUTSIDE A MAN'S WINDOW AT THREE IN THE MORNING AFTER A MAN HAS HAD A HARD DAY OF PILLAGE. So unless it's actually for printing just use a text document. Or do an actual web page.

I think we may need Keggers for this...

I'll set it in a good barbarian font, and we can have probably just the name of the poster without other incidental details.
