Another 'Nesh: the use of the name "Lynne Truss" as an adjective.

Mordant Carnival, in the Miserable Thread:

"Going through old threads in The Temple always makes me feel like a tiny Citadel Miniature, possibly a Space Marine, in a gallery full of Bacon and Epstien and Frida Kahlo.

I shall wave my tiny tiny laser rifle in an attempt to draw attention to my Brilliant White undercoat and careful detailing. Tiny grr."

Class on a f***ing stick! Beautiful. Makes me want to cry tears of mirth out of one eye and tears of admiration out the other.

Ganesh

Beat me to it, Saveloy. I'm just hoping Mordant's trimmed her flash.

I'm Rick Jones, bitch

00:20 / 05.09.05

I wonder if GM does the running man and has starting saying "Yo kid's d'ya get me, this is FFFFRRRREEEESSSHH"?

<3 MUMMY'S RUGGA BOY for life, really

Sally Dammerung, C.C.O.A.L., thank you for this:

Irony ain't just a river in Egypt. (It's also not a river in Egypt.)

Ganesh, three posts up. I misread it as flesh and had crazy images of Norse self-mortification rites... like an eeny weeny berserker figurine from WHFB.

we started hating the town simply because it was stereotypical and we didn't want to fit in a box

.

leaves me wondering... dont vampires sleep in a box?
it would suck not to fit i your bed.
oh!
suck!
dont vam... ah, never mind.

Quantum

15:20 / 07.09.05

but I know Michelle Belanger, a large figure in the vampire community has taken a hard emotional hit to it,

Same post. A large figure= fat goth vampire wannabe, a hard emotional hit= not as fucking hard as if I encounter any of these people in real life. Maybe I should post this in the headsick untamed rage and anger thread instead.

Pooky Is Just My Pornstar Name

From Decrescent Daytripper in the Marvel Mythology Surgery thread:

Over in the DCU, three heroes can rebuild the JLA moonbase in about four seconds. And they don't have Damage Control, unlike the Marvel Earth. Or the combined illogic powers of Austen and Claremont, reshaping reality until Magneto is nolonger a Xornvestite paranoid on sentient drugs ignoring his jailbait telepath keeper, but a Chinese whiteman brother of the blackhole-headed healing sister of unlikelihood. Nor is he Joseph, who was in fact Gambit, Summers Brother the Third, ex-concubine of the Phoenix who is Jean Grey unless it's not.

Made me grin, it did.

Moths helped me get off the smack, so I won't hear a bad word said against them.

As I was watching last night's taped E4 episode of Lost, suddenly a penny dropped and I realised that Flyboy had just provided me with my best delayed-recognition LOL in ages.

Half slips are for little girls to put on their heads when they are pretending to be a princess, a bride, or the Virgin Mary.

Tiny Sekhmet had it sussed.

Plus their fans used to kick the shit out of people who liked the Mission. Superb.

jmwalsh in the NMA thread.

Superb

Petey Shaftoe on NME editor Connor McNicholas in the Mercury prize thread.

Such a well-turned phrase, and a good way at this point of pushing Timelord's dump of a thread a bit further down the page.

Sad Robot, first BQ from what I imagine will be a large stock of BQ, the "How Do You Wipe Your Arse Thread":

this just reminded me in the observer last weekend there was a half page add with a photo of a woman in her underwear with a little devil holding its nose perched on her butt. it was for sani wipes. apparently they've decided that if you just use regular toilet paper you'll stink. i put the add in my appocalypse journal.

The story at the start of the thread's pretty unique as well, but a bit too long for here I think.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

Both well-said, true, and STILL USEFUL.

All the Crazy Frog records to date are the same kind of music as the first, and there was no commercially established precedent for the success of a cartoon frog with a penis going "bing bing bing bing BING BING!" over some old dance records.

Shaftoe. Scamp.

Triplets

00:09 / 12.09.05

"Down the wrist, not across"?

That's no way to wipe your arse.

... and other Bob Dylan classics.

daynah said it best:

No teenager wants an adult, or someone who uses biggie words, telling them they're not a vampire.

I just love that, when taken out of the context of the post, it sounds like a general rule about teenagers. And they really don't, do they?

The inimitable Xoc in Stoatie's who-else-is-four-inside? thread:

You must live every day as if it were your last, Jub.

For that, you need to hire a Victorian hearse and four black horses, fully regaled, to drag you round your locale and discomfort the neighbours. Then you lie perfectly still on the dining table while all your friends and family get drunk and talk about your good points for five minutes before they move onto more interesting topics, like the Jordan-André wedding.

You should also wear some menacing waxy makeup and wrap yourself in expensive velvet.

Ganesh

16:48 / 13.09.05

Or, in Xoc's case, expansive velvet.

Smoothly

16:56 / 13.09.05

While you're in the scullery in an expansive valet?

Ganesh

16:59 / 13.09.05

With a lead pipe.

You were talking Cluedo, weren't you?

Mourne Kransky

The organ grinder will now a say a few words.

But ... but ... don't both sides have to walk away from the conflict in order for Erisian's method to work? If you keep walking away and the other guy doesn't let you go, you're not leaving the conflict, you're being chased.

I liked the way, and have liked it more the more I've read it over, the way nightclub dwight reduces the froth and fury of several previous pages in the New Orleans thread to a simple and elegant clarification. I used to teach conflict resolution strategy to work teams and I could have used that quote.

Smoothly

21:52 / 13.09.05

Xoc sets it up, and Ganesh knocks it down. From the Advice on conservatory gardening thread, on the suggestion of herbs:

(22.55) Xoc: I want basil!

(22.56) Ganesh: Yes, my little nest of vipers...

It must have been a set up, but I still didn't see it coming.

Ganesh

21:53 / 13.09.05

Wouldja believe Xoc needed that explained to him...

Smoothly

21:54 / 13.09.05

Tsk. She would.

Copey's second head in the 'Sell Out!' music thread:

I googled 'the man'- this is what i got.

I don't know what he's singing- but at least he plays an instrument!

Eloi Tsabaoth

15:30 / 14.09.05

The original on the Amiga led to me smoking an awful lot of dope. It was really slow (on my machine, anyway) but I found this could be sidestepped by being really, really caned when I played it. Once I'd cracked that, it was addiction city.

Stoatie underclocks his brain.

Scrambled Password Bogus Email

16:58 / 14.09.05

Mr. Shaftoe beat me to it.

Although I thought Petey himself managed a good air of menace with the simple but effective refrain from the same thread.

Oh dear

It's all about the context.

Regrettable Juvenilia

19:37 / 14.09.05

Without wishing to be too beastly to the newbies, let's just say: Houston, we have a Bruno.

Regrettable Juvenilia

19:40 / 14.09.05

I apologise, that was harsh.

On Bruno.

In the Miss Kittin thread in music:

Flyboy: "You know, for someone who detests violence against women you seem to fantasise about it a lot."

I'm Rick Jones, bitch: "Peaches isn't a woman. Duh."

Flyboy: "Whatever. Keep your nasty little reactionary ideas about gender out of my thread."

Gotta love that Shaftoe. Even when he's wrong, he's right.

If all the guy is, is a session musician, then he is a sellout. Look I'm not gonna berate anobody for earning his bread, but I calls 'em like I sees 'em.

Zenfroglet explains the music industry from the inside out, dispelling all those misconceptions and just plain wrong ideas you had.

If it wasn't so annoying, I'd quote that whole thread

All Acting Regiment

19:58 / 16.09.05

Yes, and the session musician quote is even better if you imagine Columbo saying it.

There's a Hello Kitty store in Boston?!

*Hijacks plane*

-Mordant Carnival, possibly. Based on this, I think we should see more innovative use of the *performs action* formula. It's crying out for experimentation.

eddie thirteen on the chances of survival in a conservative comic book world:

It'd be supercool if the right had superpowers, because then if there were like this big natural disaster or something they could totally come in and save everybody. I mean, unless the people in trouble were black.

yep
