ah ha! thanks b&b, most kind.
and i appreciate the distinction and the point; it just wasn't clear to me from the thread title and early posts, nor did i see that more-appropriate thread (new to barbelith, so still poking around getting the smell of its preferred conventions). apologies again.

*musing* so, now is it inappropriate for me to repost the quote in the other thread? and even THIS post is probably excessive linkrot...

more rot
hmmm, I'm not kidding or being sarky or annything, but that last post gave me an insane feeling of Deja Vu. I'm sure I've seen that post, in that place at the top of a page, somewhere before. the linkrot comment at the bottom as well... argh, I'm losing it!

oh ffs

sorry, my browser seems to have real problems with barbelith's posting. i keep getting stammers/doubleposts after it hangs or, as in this case, a blank screen post-post then no new post appearing on refreshing the thread, so i re-post. and in this case, tweaking the post to account for the fact that someone posted while i sat looking at a blank window wondering if it was hung or actually doing something.

pleah

I had that problem too. No matter how slow you think Barb is moving, only click "Post" once. Once you click it, it's there. It's your browser that has to catch up.

In the Dr. Tom thread, this one from Xoc.

Dear Dr Tom,

My shrink is pestering me for sex. How much should I charge him?

and a beat later from Ganesh.

Dear Dr Tom,

My partner would like me... to be the cat.

Should I glass him?

Sometimes I wonder if Xoc and 'nesh are the same person and 'nesh is using the persona of Xoc to create better jokes....

Here's a gem. But pay attention:

I didn't watch The Brits and don't really want to discuss them.
Gave me a chuckle.

Alex's Grandma helps a new member.

"I'm an old woman, Saltation, and I often get the wrong end of the stick about things, but my understanding of the creation is that it's perfectly okay to post your own creative work there, so long as you're prepared not to get too upset when people - in an entirely constructive and reasonable way, of course - tell you why it's shit.

and right on the heels of that...

If it is shit, that is. It might not be, of course!

Wrinkles rule.

I would like to nominate bjacques for his "Much quaffing of the Firey Pictish Liquor" thread in the Gathering.

bjacques: A FORTNIGHT HENCE SHALL A MAN AND HIS WOMAN JOURNEY UNDER THE SEA TO THE CAPITAL OF MERRIE OLDE AQUILONIA. THEY WOULD MEET STOUT DRINKERS OF WHISKY AND WHISKYED DRINKERS OF STOUT. THEY'LL BE IN THIS SO-CALLED CAPITAL UNTIL THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY.

Stoatie: A MAN MAY WELL BE UP FOR THAT.

bjacques: IS SAID THE FIERCE WARRIORS OF JURA WILL HAVE A BOOTH. SEND A MESSAGE TO MY MAGIC TALKING ROCK, WHOSE RUNES ARE **********.

It made me chuckle heartily.

This little chat, from the Beard thread, mainly 'cause of Xoc's punchline.

take a chance: weddunderance!

Scraggy beards are all very well and good, but, as Nuneaton Savage reliably informs me, I have an Argonaut's beard. Argonaut's beards are easily the most exciting.

Loomis

What exactly is an argonaut beard? Lots of little curls like on Greek statues? I always wondered whether the ancient Greeks really had beards with such tight little curls. I think they carried little pots of beard wax with them wherever they went.

take a chance: weddunderance!

A tightly groomed, but very dark and hairy beard. A beard that ends where the neck begins. A beautiful beard.

Boboss

I want an argonaut's beard (that is crying).

Xoc

I want an argonaut (that is crying).

Spaniel

You. I like you.

This is just mean and unfair of me, of course. But as Lurid Archive cogently argues:

...if you get men and women applying at equal rates, more men will apply.

Of course, there are lots of assumptions here that are rather questionable.

I'm unsure on the first point, but the second is very well supported.

A spanking for self-quoting, Dr. Tom! Whither modesty, I ask you?! (Get a friend to do it, if your wit won't wait)*.

*I don't do this, of course. Much.

Whisky, there are a number of threads toward which I'd like to direct your attention.

Whisky Priestess

Sorry everyone, for the above.

It was the acid it was not me.

But why can't everyone just, y'know, get along a bit more?

I'm in danger of being stared hard to within an inch of my life! By one of the biggest idiots on Barbelith! Help!

Sorry all, for the above two posts). Not deleting because it will make sense. I thought I had logged out so that no-one could use my suit, but APPARENTLY NOT. *Sigh*

Daaaaamn, someone just got served

Who, though?

Well, I am scrambling up to my bed and leaving three Barbelites downstairs to decide which bedroom they're sleeping in tonight. One of them has some lovely drugs but it's 4 a.m. so I think we should leave them for another night. Tonight has been just fine as it was. Squeeeeeeeee...

Sorry, WP. Only kidding. Also, I find LSD plus mirrors equals dark place, so I'm looking out for your health as well...

Also, drunken Xoc using barbequotes as a Lateshift(/Barbelush) thread: awesome.
