Hey DM, who was it you sent you the email saying "start posting on Barbelith again, the board's really been missing your input?" - I want to know so I can thank them, personally.

10:14 / 22.12.06

PAX! PAX!

10:48 / 22.12.06

Indeed. Christmas pax. Let's be nice for the Baby Jesus's birthday.

15:53 / 22.12.06

I'm sorry, am I being trolled?

Perhaps I'll just PM you every two hours, FB, and, in return, leave the board at peace. How does that sound for you?

16:15 / 22.12.06

I dunno about the Fly one, but it sounds like a horrible idea to me, DM. In much the same way I consider Fly's above post to be a horrible idea.

I'm asking you both, as a fellow member of this board, to just stop it. Flyboy, if you have a case to make for DM's ejection then take it to Policy. DM, if you feel put upon then take it to Policy. Or Ignore each other. Or something. But I don't think any good is going to come from bashing on each other here and now.

16:34 / 22.12.06

Don't worry, I have no intention of taking this any further.

Ignoring each other works wonderfully for me.

17:22 / 22.12.06

Welcome back, DM!

17:42 / 22.12.06

I almost hope this turns into some sitcom level of absurdity.
"Tell DM I'm not talking to him."
"Tell Fly that I'm not talking to him either, and ask him to pass the salt."
"Tell DM to get his own salt and to hand me a napkin."
But in the end they end up having to work together to get to Ganesh's recital on time and learn a valuable lesson about friendship and cooperation and come to value each other like they never did before.

Or maybe they'll stretch a piece of tape across the 'lith to denote which half belongs to whom.

Or maybe they'll just squabble for a while and it will be boring/tiresome.

18:11 / 22.12.06

Welcome back, DM!

Thanks! This was more of just a quick drop-by to see how everyone is doing before hitting the road again. But I mayt show up again after January 10.

Till then, PAX OMNIA

In all this playground bickering we have lost a valuable opportunity to learn from an actual live robot (hey, I'm allowed childish naivety: 'tis the season).

18:15 / 22.12.06

Ideal! I can just delete the PMs unread like I did the last one.

ok, then. Next time I try to talk to you politely to reach a compromise, I'll do it on the Moderators request thread

Happy Holidays

19:36 / 22.12.06

%Glad you've found a mature approach to conflict resolution%

Quite.

God bless us every one.

Adult engagement is a bit of a stretch for some, right enough. What's that you say, Will? Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I think this animosity is great. Now, if I'm in a bad mood and want to irritate someone from a distance, I can offer support to DM and be sure it will grate on Flyboy like fingernails across a chalkboard. Nothing better than making someone feel impotent rage during the holidays! This will be so much more fun than harrassing Dick Clark over the phone.

...well shit, I've guess I've already shown my hand. Too bad, it was a good plan...*picks up phone* Operator? Mr. Clark, please...

Actually, I was pretty much on Dead Meg's side on this one until that fucktardinously awful Latin. It's a language and a culture, people: it's not just for your amusement because it's dead. It's not Princess Cocking Diana.

A roboseal, yesterday.

Not yet dead, but presumably one use of robotic baby seals , award-winning or not, is for the gratification of hardcore clubbers everywhere whose lives have been incomplete since culling them got such a bad press.

Then again, robots may have rights soon too.

(Haus, is this a relative of yours?)

10:11 / 23.12.06

Is that Lovefoxx from CSS holding that seal?

Anyway, I'd just like to apologise to everyone for my outburst yesterday. I've been going through a long and difficult period of methadone withdrawal during which I've "purged" some very negative "energy". You will never know how much you've helped me in this time of need, comrades, brothers and sisters. Now I'm off to rescue some imprisoned deer.

Yours,

11:05 / 23.12.06

High five blood! (I can say that because some of my friends ... well actually, ok, I don't have any friends, but if I did, I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Too much.)

06:13 / 25.12.06

dear haus

carpe cerevisi = seize the beer

let me know if I can help with anything else

cheers

I think you'll find Mike is a Robot.

14:24 / 12.01.07

Good times, everyone. I'm back from vacation (still a few day to go before being allowed to change my screen name again, though)

I'm just giving this thread a quick bump to properly respond the following Haus commentary:

Actually, I was pretty much on Dead Meg's side on this one until that fucktardinously awful Latin. It's a language and a culture, people: it's not just for your amusement because it's dead. It's not Princess Cocking Diana.

Well, mu good Haus, since my prime language is Portuguse, which is a direcr derivative of good Latin, a great-grandson of it, if you will (after ancient germanic and arabic, if m memory and knowledge serve me correcty*), I felt entitles to use it as I see fit. After all, I can desecrate my great-grandfather corpse any way i want, right? RIGHT?

Believe me, if you British folks started grossly and nonsensely misquoting anciente Kelt or whatnot, I'd say nothing about it

NON DUCOR DUCO, goddamnit

oh, and apologies accepted and greatly appreciated

* they more often than not don't...

Well, Megs, why not give it a go, to test the accuracy of this supposition? Just dig the old boy up, dump him in a public place and start desecrating him. I think you might find that your current belief about your entitlement to do so is both socially and legally misguided, but you'll certainly learn something.

14:53 / 12.01.07

Don't know if I'll learn anuthing, but I'll certanly give it a try. If it works, I'll post the videos on youtube...

Don't be so negative, dude! It's got to happen sometime. Why not when nuts-deep in grand-grandpappy?

15:02 / 12.01.07

I'll be way too busy enjoying myself, but thanks for the vote of confidence. You are so on my Christmas list now.

18:06 / 12.01.07

Why not when nuts-deep in grand-grandpappy?

How typical of the low place that Barbelith has become, as soon as someone mentions corpse desecration the Politically Correct Police assume it's all about the necrophilia.

Barbelith doesn't survive this.

Babel fish doesn't revive Chris?

umm

Monkey croisant sudden reprise piss?

Something like that anyway.

So who's got a monkey? I have a theory I need to test.
