There has been some talk that maybe Barbelith isn't that good as it used to be, certianly not as good as the old day, those halycion days before people started showing up. And maybe it isn't. But it's still pretty mcmotherloving good, defo the best website this side of the bay of biscay. What, you don't believe me? Hey, I don't lie, that's my thing - check the history books short stack.

Any way, even though I've just ripped of General Washington, I'd like to say that I love it here. I'm like the opposite of Spider Jerusalem, namely hairy and young with good teeth, no guns and two short male assistants. Also, I'm well written.

Reasons I love it here;

-no one calls anyone else "gay". And if people did, they'd get shouted at and have to listen. This is good.
- no one says stupid things about muslims, such as "all muslims are born with a gun in there hand", and if they did, they'd get fired out a cannon into the sun. this is a good thing.
-people have intelligent, thoughtful discussions about politics which don't degenerate into name calling immedietly.
-people have friends on here.
-I've learn some minor html stuff because of this place.

I LOVE IT, AND I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Bottom line. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (<-real love in these kisses, grab them!)

We should all love Barbelith. Barbelith loves us. Not in a stalky way mind, more like an interdimensional placenta.

Even Alex Grey would agree that it is too early for interdimensional placentas.

"Placentas! Oh my, you're brilliant, aren't you?? All nuturing and life-giving and absolutely vital to mankind and then one day, zip! You decide well that's quite enough, let's muck things up for a change! Oh, bravo, bravo!"

I also love it here, not like I'd love an interdimensional placenta of course, but it's love nontheless.

I love it because, despite the fact I consider myself quite intelligent and well learned there are people here who teach me new things every day and stop me getting all cocky.

I love it because it contains some of the most entertaining and intelligent writing I've found on the net.

And I love it because it looks like a B&Q colour chart.

And I love those.

May I venture a "me too"?


Oh, and Kali, don't think I didn't notice that.

Re: interdimensional placentae (placentas? no, placentae, I think.)

This - oh, gosh, I just noticed the abstract is Jefferson Starship. They're so much better than the earthbound antecedent, aren't they? Yes.

Anyway, sorry, yeah. I'm kind of ashamed to admit this, but here goes: if you don't understand the placenta thing you have clearly not read what I may have once called 'the greatest comic ever' (rereading recently, it's actually really quite annoying in several places. However...) and are, to my mind, not a 'proper' member of Barbelith. I have a mental list, and it's being updated right now.

Some of you may find this ridiculously unfair and petty, etc.

It is. Tough shit. I don't get you.

The Blind Chessman speaketh sage words. And likes a bit of placenta when he can get it.

Yum.

Actually, that song was from the final phase when they had become, simply, "Starship." That was when they finally just gave it all up and decided to suck for real.

On a less thread-rotty note, Barbelith is my one true refuge from the horridly racist, sexist and homophobic world in which I live.

I live in a city where many people honestly believe that black people are inferior to whites, that prisoners at Guantanemo Bay shouldn't have any rights "because they're not Americans," that rape is something to joke about (I actually heard the words "I'd like to rape the hell out of her" in the course of two completely different conversations amongst two completely different groups of people)

Barbelith is my safe place, a place where I can imagine a future world where equality, rationality, and mutual respect are the norm rather than the exception.

I would love for every barbeloid, all over the world, to get together and form our own nation and show those other countries how it's done.

We could call it Barbosha.

I was going to say 'babies', but on reflection, I have totally changed my mind...

And according to my typos, I may also have chained, caged, or charged my mind...

All of which explains why I am convinced the Evil Placentas from Space are coming to eat...

Lettuce.

(There's no such thing as a proper member of Barbelith. All members are improper. Even the ithyphallic ones.)

How is a placenta evil? I guess if you're gestating, the placenta's complicit with your darling parasite in robbing your skeleton for calcium and phosphate, and your nervous system for B vitamins. But that's only a problem if you're actually malnourished or bearing too frequently, isn't it? From the fetus's perspective (as I read the application here), placenta's the all-good source of life.

I can't remember where I got it from - possibly somewhere on the wiki, or one of the Temple threads on the Barbelith egregore - but I have the impression that Barbelith can catalyse the emergence of everyone's highest potential. It's a collaborative transformative co-education project, stretching any of us who are willing into our fuller individuation. Placenta's a great metaphor, and that's how I read the relevance of it.

Barbelith makes me feel like a march hare. Sometimes that's crap; most of the time it's great.

*doffs cap*

Thanks, B.

What other place could we taking about lettuce-eating evil placentae(s) from Outer Space?

(I mean, besides all good reasons already or to be given here)

We need some badger references now.

Oh, and Stoatie, seeing that pic first thing in the morning has scared the nutritional bar out of my mouth.

Kali, if you're worried, put your hand in my hand baby don't ever look back.

Also; Has anyone else thought about letting the world around us, uh, just fall apart, because theres an uncconfirmed rumour that maybe we can make it if we're heart to heart?
