Late shift, anyone?

02:16 / 11.07.08

Eight days and I can change my name. I'm debating "Secret Bat-Fairies."

Why?

You ain't reading Batman, are you, Keggers? It's a Bat-thing.

Not sure which was funnier to me about my last namechange, that I got questioned about it by a mumber of IRL friends, or that it's how I discovered a bunch of real-life I-can-confirm-they-wear-flesh friends apparently skim the 'lith for me.

Anyhow, I will be strong and not steal that name from you, Papers.

02:25 / 11.07.08

I appreciate the restraint. I love it. I LOVE IT.

02:30 / 11.07.08

They didn't charge me for the Old Crow in my batch of goodies I just went out for. Nice.

Sorry, this was going to be a post about how I'm considering changin my name over to The Outsider, but I was just scanning the receipt and noticed that.

02:30 / 11.07.08

Seeing as how I can change my name right at this very moment the devil on my left shoulder is screaming "Do it!"

02:33 / 11.07.08

*begins to well up*

But...but...

02:34 / 11.07.08

Ta-Dah!

02:35 / 11.07.08

I should really make a list of potential suitnames.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:37 / 11.07.08

Keggers. That. Just. Hurt. My. Head.

Nicely paced.

02:38 / 11.07.08

Whoah, looks like AG just left in the Policy as well.

Blimey, they're dropping like flies tonight...

02:42 / 11.07.08

Shit. Well, I'm sorry either felt the need, even if I didn't always have the best time with either.

BTW, did we lose Papess at some point?

02:42 / 11.07.08

Haven't seen her in months.

02:47 / 11.07.08

Well she hasnt told me she's scrambled her password so Im sure she'll be around when she can.

02:56 / 11.07.08

Cool. Good.

Wow. I'm (re)reading old threads, after going through the old Morrison NXM, and, yeah - golden ages, fuck'em - but, y'know, the best bits of yesterday and today on Barbelith have never, for me, been the on-topic dead serious analytical stuff. It's the asides, the allusions, the sudden bursts of weird wit and insane ideation and camaraderie (that can't be how that's spelled, really, can it?), that stuff. Possibly because I frequently took up the other side of things I don't think had to be binary, but it's no wonder I spend most of my time on here in lateshifts is all I'm trying get across.

This is my first time in the late-shift. I just thought I should get over my four year long apprehension about busting in on the "barbelite" or whatever before i no longer get a chance to.

Hi, everyone. I'm listening to Cyndi Lauper's "She's So Unusual", and it's a fantastic album. I just slowly drank a bottle of 40 proof IPA, and may start on a second one. I have 365 days left of my 20's, and don't know what to do with the rest of this one.

03:09 / 11.07.08

HI Paleface! Are you sure you havent been here before? Strange, I thought you had.

Yeah, Cindy Lauper is great. Im still trying to get ahold of "At Last". What a voice.

pony

03:12 / 11.07.08

totally separate entity from paleface. pretty sure i have a copy of "at last" around, if you're not adverse to the piracy.

03:14 / 11.07.08

Hi, palace. (palace is paleface? I'm no good at tracking names.) Pull up a pew and enjoy the view.

I've got the randomizer on the iTunes going, so it's Pixies one minute, AC/DC or Prince the next. I don't listen to enough whole albums anymore, I think.

pony

03:16 / 11.07.08

palace was "junior anti-sex league" and many derivative before becoming palace. mostly lurker.

03:17 / 11.07.08

I downloaded the first four episodes of The Middleman and I'm watching them. Love it.

And I'm home!

I love Barbelith's squishiness when it gets going and weird ideas start firing off at random, yeah.

03:18 / 11.07.08

Y'know, In my mind I was going to type "Palace".
Im too tired to think.

Thanks for the At LAst offer, much appreciated.

Well The LAte show is on and I think Im going to head off and watch it.

G'nite alls

03:18 / 11.07.08

Cool. Y'know, I lurked and refused to even sign on for about four years or so? Seems insane now.

pony

03:20 / 11.07.08

yeah, i had a solid year of lurkage before i signed up, and then lurked for another solid year save one "chargin' mah sigil!" question.

03:21 / 11.07.08

Night, Keggers.

So, roll call? Is it down to you and me, palace? Papers, you still around?

03:26 / 11.07.08

Always and forever, at your service. You say the name, I'll kill them where they stand.

pony

03:26 / 11.07.08

it may be the two of us, and i have to run to go rendezvous for a midnight screening of hellboy IIIV. take care, all. lateshift not nearly as scary/old-guard as it seemed, will be back...

pony

03:27 / 11.07.08

MY FIRST X-POST!!! (not really, but whatevs...)

03:31 / 11.07.08

Last rebel outpos... nah. Not quite.

Have fun, palace. We'll leave a light on.

Papers, if I could give you a medal I would. Two medals. That turn into little robots when you twist them right.

03:42 / 11.07.08

THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME!

Middleman's a pretty fun show. I'm almost inclined the pick up the comics, but I seem to be over-indulging in the comics lately when I probably shouldn't.

03:49 / 11.07.08

See, I'm on the other end of the Middle Man spectrum. I dig the comic, but have shied away from the tv series. Maybe now I'll have to try and watch it.

04:00 / 11.07.08

I'm ordering the first trade to see how it is. The art looks swell.

04:13 / 11.07.08

It's a bit if Megaton Man were an early Oni book.

I'm revisiting a lot of old stuff rather than picking up too much new, with comics. Lots of Morrison, which probably means something. NXM, JLA and other acronyms.

04:35 / 11.07.08

NXM remains a favourite run--they grew up!
