So Long, Mr Lateshift Prostate

03:21 / 29.08.07

Only in the lateshift, with all this primate talk do we actually find the missing link.

03:21 / 29.08.07

I look at the Temple forum, but that's about it. I always feel like I'm halfway to the hairy-eyeball from half a dozen folks when I post in it. Or that I'm distressing or offending someone.

Head Shop or Comics? Not feeling that.

03:22 / 29.08.07

OH NOES!!! My reality tunels. They're smashed.

03:24 / 29.08.07

Comics is comfortable, and I'm finally getting moved to post in the Books. I read a fair number of books but I don't often post there. I don't know. Maybe because it's slow like the land-roaming buffalo-sponge.

The lateshift is super-comfortable, of course. It's one of my favourite Barbebits and I hope it remains.

I am unsure how I feel about New Barbelith.

03:25 / 29.08.07

Always the one you don't suspect, the Trixta Figah. I shoulda known..

I can't even tell if my connectors are open or closes or orange, now.

03:26 / 29.08.07

I just wonder if, once New Barbelith starts, are we going to have to collect all the crossover threads? Are they going to kill off some of our favorite posters?

03:26 / 29.08.07

Please stow your carry-on luggage and turn your connectors to the CHARTREUSE setting.

Yes, that is a problem, Decadent. For a topic about personal evolution and self-development, there should be a helluva lot more tolerance for people's learning processes. I thought, and I could be wrong, that compassion and tolerance were always a good sign of someone's self-development. Theoretically, The Temple should be one of the most caring places on the internet for all the many years of devotion and work that people have done collectively. For some reason, it isn't and that makes me very sad.

03:29 / 29.08.07

I suspect this Neolith Movement underenthuses many, actually. Of course, most of those many are registered and perhaps never posted anywhere.

03:30 / 29.08.07

I keep reading the thread title and thinking that I've misread it as So Long, Mr Lateshift Prostate. But no. Thats the title. Yet I do it every time I read it.

03:31 / 29.08.07

I want more wine.

03:32 / 29.08.07

I don't mind that much. Any belief I have tends to be held without much need for group consensus, or discussion. Or I feel more comfortable talking about it offline with meatpeople I care about.

On the other hand, the Comics sort of *is* a religion by this point...

03:34 / 29.08.07

It is a shame for some. If BArbelith goes, I will be fine. I can live without it. I will miss you all, those that I do have personal contact with and still adore, but still.....I'll be fine. Anyway, just because there is a new board doesn't mean that Barbelith is going anyhere.

03:37 / 29.08.07

I meant that I will miss those that I do NOT have personal contact with...as in off-board.

03:41 / 29.08.07

I don't think I've ever known people without knowing their actual names or absolutely any contact info.

Which, demonstrates my level of involvement with online communities.

I miss y'all already. I mean, I just got used to sort of liking even the people who clearly could sometimes do without me posting for a bit. And we kicked the really bad ones out.

Still, ever forward - or something similar.

03:41 / 29.08.07

I'll still be around the Lith...

03:43 / 29.08.07

meh, you're all lucky if I remember you in the morning.

03:44 / 29.08.07

Venger, you are lucky to remember your own name. Hmm, I resemble that statement as well. Hey, how is it that do mange to get here at all?

03:46 / 29.08.07

Cripes, I am getting tired. Maybe even a little tipsy from one drink! Wow. Who am I?

03:48 / 29.08.07

Judi Dench! That's who.

03:49 / 29.08.07

I Think its cause we spend so much time in the lateshift while drunk that we have developed a homing instinct.

I remember being in a pub with some friends a there was am uncomforatble silence. I just grabbed one of them by the ears and yelled "Post something dammit!"

03:51 / 29.08.07

Who're you again? How did you all get in here? And be kind, because I could stand to hear I was not supposed to wear that on my head, but only if it wasn't a fancy dress occasion we're all here for.

03:52 / 29.08.07

I love nights like this, when the shift is atomic and it's just bang-bang-bang-bang with the posting. Even when Barbelith hiccups. Did anyone else have trouble with the site about ten minutes ago?

I should be writing, but at least tomorrow's the day off so I can actually do some of that. I'm to say NO if work calls, because all I want to do is by the latest Hellboy comic and work on the detective story.

Of course, I'll be waiting to hear whether or not we're ready to given 72 hour strike notice. Sigh.

03:53 / 29.08.07

Tonight, the shift is a fancy dress Masquerade Ball. I, of course, am dressed as Mandrake the Magician.

03:55 / 29.08.07

I am dressed an Constable Benton Frasier of The Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

03:56 / 29.08.07

With or without pants? Mounties are funnier without pants.

03:56 / 29.08.07

So, 3P, I gather it's me and you in the wreckage of the post-apocalyptic 'lith. With Venger wandering around trying to make out who's who.

If you miss us much, you must drop back by, Meddy. Bring a bottle of wine, I'll bake something, and surely somebody can do us a sight better than a George Formby imitation for entertainment.

03:57 / 29.08.07

Ofcourse Im not wearing pants. If I wore pants..where would I hang my handcuff?

03:59 / 29.08.07

By this point, the Lith will look like Apokolips and we'll take turns being Granny Goodness. Or sitting up in broken chairs atop a scarred hill, drinking ruined Napolean brandy and talking much of the vintage and refusing to discuss the charred bodies just off camera.

03:59 / 29.08.07

This would be an inopportune moment to ask about how you Canadian cops hang your holsters, yes?

04:01 / 29.08.07

Interestingly enough? Tonight I'm dressed as Mad Harriet. Because it's windy out.

Barbelith Forever! Apokalips Eventually!

04:01 / 29.08.07

The answer is sexfully, Nightfalling-old-chap.
