Move to delete, if only on the basis that Mordant, being from Barcelona, is clearly the little one holding the magic shield.

Oh look everyone stereotyping Glenn is rearing his huge, cumbersome head again.

Well, to be fair, you did start it... I mean, why isnt Mordant played by Basil Cleese?

TBH I'm probably a lot more like the Major.

You are my new favourite person.

Oh, and Darrell, I can't be certain (this being the internet and all), but from her use of language, cultural reference points etc. I'm pretty sure that Mordant isn't Basque, or even Spanish, which rather rules out the whole stereotyping thing.
 
 
Anna de Logardiere
14:22 / 07.04.08
My judgements were based purely on how tall I felt members of barbelith were.

You said Mordant should be a short, dark haired person because she lives in Barcelona dude. Don't backpedal, just take it.

Catalan, not Basque. Barcelona is Catalan.

My bad, Mordant. In my Tiggerish eagerness to clear my name, I made the regional version of a typo. Apologies to any Catalans I've offended, or indeed any Basques.

Darrell, bless you for trying, but I said nothing of the sort. (I have a dim, and indeed possibly incorrect recollection from a Barbe-Pic thread or something that Mordant is red of hair and pale of skin, but I couldn't possibly comment on hir height). I think if you want to nail me as some terrible perpetuator of stereotypes, you're going to have to try a little harder than that.

Anyway I object to being portrayed as a femme. I demand this thread be locked.

I second that emotion. As somebody who now and then posts production stills and promotional shots from '70s and '80s sitcoms on the board, I object to Darrell's appropriation of my t'ing. What's worse, ze didn't even get it right. The whole point is to post pics from sitcoms that aren't, y'know, funny.

Sorry but I'm not attracted to you Buk.

I can't be alone in wondering what thread that was meant for, surely?
 
 
Less searchable M0rd4nt
11:44 / 08.04.08
I'm not sure either. Or what this thread is for, for that matter. Given some of hir earlier posts I got the impression that Darrell/Natalia originally signed up for the purpose of having a pop at Teh Established Members, but then found hirself drawn into actual engagement with the board. This looks like an attempt to reconnect with hir initial iconoclastic principles.

Maybe he wrote it, realised it was stupid, came back to get rid of it and it was there so he lied? If that is indeed the case and he was swearing at me because I compared him to Manuel and incidentally also called him short I'd have to say that it was a fair response. If it was meant for somewhere else then really, it seems unfair to deprive the intended recipient a bit of swearing. Maybe he wants to fuck you Basil? Maybe he wants to fuck us all?

I have never felt so much glee as I did when I read Mordant's post just now.

Browsing without images makes these situations so much funnier.

Let's all become principled without images.

I was under the impression Darrell was a certain ex-member (Barberoyalty, no less) who had come back...

...kind of like the whole Ben and Derek thing on Sunset Beach, only without the thrilling clifftop struggle.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
13:44 / 08.04.08
There could be a clifftop struggle, if you're really good.

(That was very ... innuendo-esque. When I did turn into a Torchwood cast member?)

Actually I'm a student at a boarding school on the Cornish coast in the mid 20th century.

Which has a clifftop, on the plus side. And a natural cove where you swim.

I have no idea who that guy is, so I don't even know if I should be offended or amused.

Just to be on the safe side, I'll pick amused and let it go...

Flowers contribute or shush. You want to lock and delete everything, this is a nonsense thread for nonsense people and frankly if you don't want to spout nonsense you may leave!

On the plus side, Glenn, at least it'll be a *functional* in-joke now, in-jokes generally requiring that somebody other than the person telling them understands the point or thinks them amusing. The clue being in the name, and all.

Up until now, your shtick's all been very zen, in a 'the sound of one person laughing' kind of way.
