[Standard reply no.4]

Ah, yes, but are you really using 'flame' in the correct sense?

<duck for cover and spray bursts of covering huggle fire>

11:23 / 08.03.02

I think that should be an article in the Zine. Is that lame of me?

pointless and uncalled for

Thanks Mordant, you rock like a um rather large stone um thingy.

Maybe, but we need to get a few more people's input first. I mean, how could I have left

out of the "In Closing" section?

Haus about we all give each other a big lovely huggle?

11:43 / 08.03.02

Or indeed

You have experienced technical problems posting and have subsequently started a thread in every area about how you are being censored by the powers that be, refusing to alter this opinion and roundly abusing Tom and his clique with a series of hilarious misspellings of Nazi phrases"

Suggestion to the "You Are Being Flamed Because" section:

Where the fuck did the term "huggles" come from? It sucks.

06:45 / 11.03.02

Oh yeah?

YOU SUCK!

06:46 / 11.03.02

Just kidding.

Huggles?

We're The Great Old Ones Now

08:15 / 11.03.02

One of Haus' many incarnations or self-dissections was a saccharine entity which was nice to everyone to the point where you were prepared to rip out your own heart and smash it to a pulp with your still-steaming spine.

Its catchphrase was 'huggles'.

To my horror, this bijou mini-meme, which is more like a noetic base-pair, has prospered, despite the demise of the ghastly creature which spawned it.

I coined the term 'mini-meme'. Do you think it will last longer than 'huggles'?

Ghastly creature? Sounds like someone needs a huggle.

20:03 / 16.02.05

What's worse, people are now being huggled when in need of comfort, rather than strictly as a retaliatory measure.

20:34 / 16.02.05

Thank you Nightclub Dwight for resurrecting this. I have never encountered it.

Mordant, you are unutterably funny and you should be a writer. Oh. Wait...

Errrm... I should point out that the basic "form flame" thing was something that was doing the rounds at the time and all I actually did was bung in a couple of 'Lith-specific bits.

One time Bobby Heenan was making fun of Bill Goldberg cuz he thought he was a big dummy, but his mouth was moving faster than his brain, and he said in a Frankenstein voice "Fire good!".

22:29 / 17.02.05

Another couple for the Temple :

[ ] It's obvious that you're just on a paranoia.
[ ] You've not realized that you need to lay off the drugs a bit.

(And yes I know I know I know I know I can't spell for toffees, I never claimed to be able to spell. But I'm not the one claiming Ipsissimusness and it's not my fault ect.

Oh sure. Like you weren't all thinking it.)
