Wow, stoatie, you're being uncharacteristically mean. What's up?

I'm not annoyed so much as I am disappointed to periodically check in on Barbelith and find that there are very few recently updated threads and most of those are infighting and one sided in jokes. It makes me a little bit of a sad panda.

You know what might help? You could start some good threads. Pick an unfighty topic and I'll try to contribute something good to it if I can.

King Joycore Panda XVI is, by the way, talking to the Baroness, who is after all his bannerman.

I'm glad you all hate Zibarro as much as I do. Let's mess up his thread!

Hay guise, I'm not suggesting that Qalyn has any beef with Granny. Just that it would be fun to see 'em go head to head. Like Hulk and the Thing.

God, that's more annoying than Metron and Apocalips.

Political correctness and over-intellectualising? My cup runneth over. With stupidity. Liquid stupidity.
 
 
Aha! I am Klarion
01:04 / 21.07.08
I second that. That Batman topic really derailed on multiple levels.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
01:07 / 21.07.08
I have the curious feeling that Barbelith would be best served by simply locking any thread about Batman before it has more than two replies in it, given the rather toxic rot cropping up in all of them, lately.

Goddamn Batman.
 
 
This Sunday
23:53 / 30.07.08
Thanks to Batman, Grant Morrison, and certain posters, I have had a version of the Meow Mix jingle in my head for most of the day. It starts, 'I like Boboss..' and it has about two more hours of repetition to go before it moves from Barbannoy to genuine dark secret joy.

I don't think I drink enough for this board, any more.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
23:56 / 30.07.08
I don't drink enough for Batman, anymore.

Goddam Batman.

It's more delight than annoyance, but I think Buk's democracy thread is looking good to be the worst thread ever.
 
 
Tsuga
15:10 / 16.08.08
Oh, it's bad, but worst ever? That's a bold statement. It's going against some pretty stiff competition.

Should I look at the Batman threads to truly compare? Or will I put out my eyes?
 
 
Spatula Clarke
21:01 / 21.08.08
And so it begins: my first "Why aren't you banning Haus for attacking Dead Megatron? TEH DOUBLE STANDARDS" PM.

Wonderful.
 
 
ONLY NICE THINGS
21:07 / 21.08.08
Actually, about that: if we're banning Buk how on Earth can we justify not banning MFreitas, and indeed Megatroyd, Hector Lima and, should he make an appearance, Pedro Manuel "Mantorras" Torres? Not that banning's a terribly effective sanction, but it might make us feel better for a bit.

I made the mistake of reading the last couple pages of the Final Crisis thread *shudders*
 
 
Tsuga
00:50 / 17.01.09
I assume you're talking about ChairmanWow Wow fight the powah being a douche? Because while I just read the last couple pages of Final Crisis and had no idea what the fuck anyone was on about, but I could see that. I did snicker at MFrietas I just analised issues 4 through 6 and Resist as well (although I realize, 2nd language).
Like so many things, context is everything, if you listen in on a conversation about something you're ignorant of, it can sound odd. But not knowing and reading this stuff sounds nuts, like this mashup of the last page:
zap Bats with the Omega Effect the Miracle Machine makes me worried for The Final Fate of Matter-Eater Lad. Mandrakk? Maybe, and that would tie back to some stuff from pre-Infinite Crisis"Godspeed"the events of Batman RIP pretty much made Batman immune to the crushing despair of anti-life. It's a concept out of The Lucifer Principle (which G Mozz was namechecking a lot around the Filth)The Black Glove prepared Bats for Darkseids bullshit. Or maybe Joe Chill did.the "infrasombre" wavelength of the emotional spectrum Hourman & Liberty Belle are riding in on Lead-as-a-cycle, Blue Devil, Talky, and Vixen ride in on Iron-as-Humvee. Wildcat and Wildcat Junior are on a Mercury-cycle and Mister America and that other guy ride atop Gold-as-a-tank. Don't know where Tin, Platinum, and Copper are, but possibly one of them might be Red Arrow's bike.Superman'll douse him with tainted ultramenstruum and then he'll be shot with the Miracle Machine and then the Flashes will Black Racer-bomb him and then he'll coalesce next to an irritated Turpin, who will finish him off via fist.

Maybe someday I will read comics, but until then, I am lost.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:28 / 17.01.09
You'd also probably fail at the secret handshake, as well. It's naughty.

Comics are weird, plain and simple. It's part of the reason I love them. I do so hate normal things.

[Today, my barbannoy is realizing that in a given thread every other post is yours--and that while you don't sit around waiting for people to post, it might look that way to a casual observer.]
 
 
Tsuga
02:47 / 17.01.09
That annoys me as well.


Oh god, I'm doing it, aren't I?
 
 
Spatula Clarke

This is the best bit of that Comics exchange:

Oh Boboss, I remember when you first joined, when you were still a little nebbish, when you politely agreed with every post and needlessly complimented random posters. Now you're a big boy. Now I see manners have gone out the window.

Leaving aside the brilliant stupidity of the question of manners, the main point is probably this:

Unless of course we're dealing with a joke suit.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
17:49 / 17.01.09
FUCKING HELL, ARE THEY ALL JOKESUITS?

I mean, rather, how terribly gauche, you know, the prank ficsuit debacle. Ongoing problem, terrible business. Someone fix me a drink, please. Lemon, not lime. One cube of ice. Gin. Tonic. Perfectly proportional. I'll judge you if you use a shotglass for measurements.

Oh Hawksmoor. How is the Bleed this time of year.

Trust me Tsuga, even when you understand the context it is still cringe-inducing.

Yeah. I hate it when people enthuse. Fucking geeks. They should be in Policy, where the really interesting shit happens.

Why does it embarrass you, Slim? I mean, seriously, what's wrong with people geeking out in the company of fellow geeks? Isn't it nicer to see people enjoying themselves rather than bitching and moaning? Or is sober analysis the only valid response to art of any kind? Am I to assume that you never indulge in similar behaviour?

If that's the case, poor you.

Perhaps you're just too cool for school.

It doesn't embarrass me, it annoys me. Some of the language used grates on my nerves, like how some people can't get over poor punctuation or adults using baby talk. You'll forgive me for not quoting posts- I'd prefer to avoid quoting anyone in particular and risk hurting his/her feelings.

I'm okay with people on Barbelith "geeking out" as long as I don't see any more comments making fun of "fanboys" at other boards.

When's the last time I geeked out? That's a good question. Maybe the last time I talked about Arrested Development because I tend to insist that everyone watch the series and praise it as the best comedy in the history of television. I'm not sure that fits the bill, however.

I am pretty cool, though.
