Okay I believe I made it through '06 without crushing on my boardmates, because well we hardly knew each other. Or so I thought. It's a new year and time to come clean!

I totally barbe-crush:

Saturn's Nod
Smart, sassy, and supportive. Your posting is always a bolt from the blue of how true. My Queen of the scientific smackdown. (Plus you started the Unix thread, how can I not love you?)

Lepidopteran
I double extra heart your taste in music and your generousity with it. Plus a Wolftribes REMIX!?!?!! I'm so taking you to see WIFS!

Feverfew
Catching you on the ether via our rapid fire PM's is teh sweet! Now if only I could get my shit together with that laptop for you....

and finally

toksik
yeah remember that time when you said that thing about the pic? Right back at you ya big lug! Let's go dancing in big boots!

Inspired by this barbecrush, efulgent.

I barbe-crush Sax, but now that I've finally worked out how I really feel (and as, I fear, is often the way of these things,) he's never around any more.

And as for the rest of you, I despair of you, frankly.

Your workaday jabber distracted me from what's almost certainly going to be the last great love of my life. All I have left to me now is muslin drapes and sherry, and the intrusive hand of Dr Fate.

I certainly second the crushification of Lep, toks, Feverfew, and Saturn's Nod. I also crush xk, obvs.

Further crushage: angel, invisible al, Quants and GGM (who is the funnest person to go round a supermarket with evar) and the Temple regulars.

my first Barbe-crush! Aw Mordant, I would have barbe-crushed you long ago but then I'm already running the risk of appearing too stalkerish with you as is!

However I firmly refuse to ever EVER barbe-crush Haus. Sabers at dawn in a pit, spittle gob dangling at noon, the entire Ring Cycle in one painfully long transdimensional evening, and even flung cocktails at closing...perhaps-ably. Dignity must be preserved and worthy foes must be shoved into walls without smashing brain jars.

This year, my barbcrush is:



YOU


(yeah, I stole the idea from some magazine)
 
 
Alex's Grandma
02:47 / 13.01.07
Well thank you for that, Mr K!

Right back atcha, big guy!
 
 
Papess
12:24 / 13.01.07
Better YOU, than ME.

Of course I always barbecrush Keggers whose friendship is fine as wine, and my new acquaintance MattS, who is sweet as sugar, and my dear friend Zute, who is just sweet.

Phriar's deserves a crush for the lovely poetry.

Kali, I crush you for your enthusiaism and pioneering spirit.

xk, i love how thoughtful you are.

Somewhere in all of this I worry Whiskey Priestess is making gagging noises....

'Trix I'm only thoughtful because I'm a conniving evil bitch. You know, balance and all that.
 
 
Papess
13:27 / 13.01.07
Yes, yes...the con is in the details.
 
 
Papess

Whiskey Priestess is making gagging noises....

I totally have to barbe-crush Whiskey Priestess. Inspirational muse. That gagging is a siren's song.

Princess Swashbuckling, ditto for you, hon. I mean the inspiration part, not the gagging, but hey...

lulabelle. She has a writing style that is beautiful. Also for being the Super Barbemum.

One day I want to be as cool and clever as xk.

Papers, for raising the Comics forum up a few hundred notches and for having a lovely brain. I would marry that brain. I would put it in a cylinder. We would honeymoon on Pluto. Krttk. Tk tk. Krk.

Boboss, for being the most level-headed yet compassionate guy here.

Alex's Grandma who - even in geriatrica - is a walking hall of mirrors.

Can I put my dinkle in your cylinder?

Here's what made me rush to this thread (from lulabellarina):

"I actually think sign language is generally all round inspiring and beautiful. I quite often watch repeat programmes on the BBC so I can watch the signing people. I think the shapes they make for the words are lovely. The word for birthday cake is shaped by making a crab shape with one hand, fingers down, on the top of your flat palm down other hand (that's cake) and then you blow from right to left to make it birthday cake. How perfect is that?"


"that's cake". Beautiful writing.

xk- mordant stalkery puts you in dire company.

It's heartwarming and happydancing to find myself Barbecrushed by two of my own biggest Barbecrushes! I've written before about how excellent Mordant is, but if anyone has missed it: Mordant is a thoroughly and consistently awesome poster, and has a way with wording that I can only envy. XK: you came in less than a year ago and almost immediately established yourself as A Voice To Be Heard in the Temple (and elsewhere). You also deserve great props for your deft administation of the Love & Anti-Love mix in the Creation - if they gave Cat Herder awards, you would have my vote. (And I'm working on the W/IFS show!)

Another Barbecrush has to go out to Withiel: if you haven't heard his music yet, get to the music forum right now and take a hit (in addition to the current song, he has two full-length albums and an EP posted, all eyecrossingly good). Culture hero of tomorrow, right here on Barbelith. No fooling.

However I firmly refuse to ever EVER barbe-crush Haus. Sabers at dawn in a pit, spittle gob dangling at noon, the entire Ring Cycle in one painfully long transdimensional evening, and even flung cocktails at closing...perhaps-ably.

But... Don't you get the feeling that if you barbe-crushed Haus, that it would seem right and perfect at the time, but later, he would stagger outside into the rain, (which, funnily enough, wasn't falling earlier) fall to his knees, scream, and turn into Hausus?

Then we'd really be in trouble.

Right, anyway, enough of being silly...

I don't know who I really barbecrush, because there are many, but I have to second Justrix re: xk when ze says "i love how thoughtful you are" - because, well, you are.

I'll come back later with more, promise?

can't..breathe...laughing...too..hard...

But then Hausus in leather pants would happen, and that my friend, would make the evil worthwhile!

However, on this thread's evidence alone, I'm beginning to realise that my life at this moment is, basically, Buffy allusions and lots of blank paper.

I can only assume everyone else feels this way too, but I'll say anyway that I like every thread that much more once xk shows up in it.

aw shucks, pants...this is just the most perfect barbe-luv moment!
wait a second...was it raining a minute ago?


uh oh...

...can't be happening.....

...Feverfew! pants!....

I hope that's not an order...

Hate to be all populist and stuff, but I have to Barbecrush xk too.
 
 
Ticker
17:46 / 15.01.07
Perhaps-ably I should have been more clear.....

xk -> XK = I'M WEARING MY LEATHER PANTS OF BADNESS!!!!!

Now, Feverfew you may run away crying and I shall chortle my delight at your crushed self and contemplate further destroying your innocence!

Stoatie, I'm so mailing you that knitting experiment. It came out a very nice lilac color I hope that is ok for you?
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
17:51 / 15.01.07
Lilac rules.

Is it bad form to crush someone twice in half an hour?
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

Just asked Hulk Hogan. Apparently it's okay.
 
 
Harrison Ford, in a battle suit, wheels for feet, knives and guns
17:52 / 15.01.07
I Barbe-Crush MacReady, or whatever he's called. Sweet jesus I'd like to do more than just stare at him in those tight shorts he wears...simmer down tuffy!
 
 
Feverfew

Now, Feverfew you may run away crying and I shall chortle my delight at your crushed self and contemplate further destroying your innocence!

Re: the last part of that X-Kuss transformation; Right now, if you can find it, you're welcome to it...

I barbe-crush 'Harrison Ford ...' because he speaks the truth, because he doesn't seem to be afraid of authority, in whatever form, and because I'm apparently 'drinking a lot' at the moment.
 
 
Corey Waits
00:34 / 16.01.07
I'm wondering if I'm still too new to be crushing anyone, but either way I've got a little bit of a barbe-crush on both toksik and Stoat for their name discussion over in Convo.

I want to add to the wittiness, but really, I'd just be getting in the way.

i crush seth like i would crush ten ATMs.
