Barbelith 5, as has been pointed out before (by Tom I think) is clearly not the last best hope for peace.

It may be the last best hope for snark at the moment.

Goddamnit Ignominious, westerns damnit! Westerns! Cocksuckers and six guns, not Cardassians and Ray Guns.

Yeeha! Come on say it with me son.

how about a William S.Burroughs western a la The Place of Dead Roads - that can have six guns, cock sucking and aliens and stuff, and that way everyone will be happy?

Hold your horses there a parsec, wasn't Dragonfly supposed to be a western in space with cocksucking Cardassians and six shooting rayguns?

I'll concede on Farscape as the one fantasy form series that genuinely needed the input of el Wheedon.

A showdown! With a bit of luck it will follow the Burroughs paradigm and be a showdown with sexy, alien, cowboy assassins. What time is high noon anyway?

Don't command me to the TV Forum mate, else I might find this sort of stuff.

This show is insane. Every time I miss a couple of episodes, half the cast have died, or come back from the dead, or changed sides, or got weird shit put in their heads... snip

flyboy - i hope you're not slagging farscape. it's the most hilarious thing on tv, now and possibly ever. the rubber muppet aliens, the dreadful acting, esp from the hazel o'connor lookalike (check that one expression!).... don't knock it!


This reflects my experience of watching the which falls under the sphere of "time of my life that I'll never get back. Thankfully restricted to a handful of episodes, of which I have been assured were better examples of the form. Something so terrible could benefit even from the ministrations of Joss Whedon.

Unless you're refering to Firefly (my error on Dragonfly), which was billed heavily as "an atypical science fiction narrative in a naturalistic future setting modeled after traditional Western movie motifs".

How then the opposite of the truth?

...I quote Saturn's Nod.
don't kid yourself that you are helping to make an inclusive diverse community when you are requesting a lesson in basic anti-sexist/anti-racist discourse yet again.
from the excellent post in the Multiculturalism thread.

Come on people let's quote!

Two post that made me laugh out loud today

Ganesh vs. The Seldom Killer in the Barbelith Expose:

Seldom Killer loves cycling so much, that he has succeeded in technically marrying his bicycle, under an archaic 1908 ruling he unearthed after much research in Canadian law libraries. The cycle's notional sex had first to be established, using rather old-fashioned 'crossbar = female' guidelines, to ensure that his union was not a homosexual one.

My original attempt to register it as a homocyxual one was foiled by an attentive registrations clerk.

and Haus deperately trying to keep his cool in the Racism thread:

I am the uncurled forefinger of a higher power. I am the lipstick traces of the universe's kiss.

PW remember both Flyboy and Haus love you.

Yes I absolutely second the Haus quote, I thought it was really quite beautiful. I found myself making the uncurled forefinger shape as I read it(which was odd), but I liked the lipstick traces best. I mean you don't think the Universe is going to leave lipstick traces do you, so imagining one that does leads you down a slightly peculiar synaptic route.

But anyway. Here to quite Vincennes for this spookily accurate expose on the Lithmind's use of the word 'dude':

I call pretty much everyone dude. I did that before I joined Barbelith as well, which leads me to conclude that people who say 'dude' seek out other people who say 'dude' without really knowing how they're doing it or even that they're doing it at all.

XK in the "Praise Be" thread. Just because it was exactly the kind of thing I would love to get in a letter (Remind you of anything xk? Hmmm? HMMM!!)-

If I could I'd spend a week searching strange shops and forgotten attics for trinkets and prizes and treasures to package and place into your home and the streets you walk down. I would be as a thief but in reverse strategically tying moments of joy into the strands of your day. Upon opening the medicine cabinet you would be greeted by a tiny city made out of the shiny wrappers of gum. After a particular crappy night you would find an antique bottle filled with fresh pressed apple cider and the required note in cypher.

For each glimpse I have of the clock work wonders of your mind leaves me inspired and half crazed with delight. The steady shine of your heart is perfectly framed by the glowering swings of your mood. Rare mythical creature well suited to the climes of Internet battles and far reaching astute observations, you're best appreciated from afar.

Yet always I will feel the ache and the whispering want to lay my head against yours so we may look at the same glorious world. It would be a welcome distraction to feel your voice on the inside of my skull as your wit and wisdom drew my eye and heart out to the horizon, but the scent of you would undo me completely.

I may just do that. Working shifts and looking after two young children has sort of stimmied my creative abilities.

I know they're there, but they seem to have found a nice, comfortable fold in my brain to hide behind right now.

I'll try to entice them out with the promise of cake...

I think I might be a bit scared if I got that in a letter. You know, the fact that it's not just talking about love, it's talking about *LOVE!11!!*
(No offence xk, I just scare easily).

If I could be arsed, I'd quote princess's entire post. Reminds me of Mordant at hir angriest. And an angry Mordant is a bloody good read. Keep it up- the way things are looking, the Temple could do with a few more angry Mordants.

You use scare tactics to say that teenagers in high school on the internet will have sex, will post sexy pics, and will sexy language, and then you cut to a commercial and show Desperate Housewives, a show in which sexy women have sexy sex. Gah! Make up your fucking mind!

Mattatarsal on television's Internet issues. It's the "sexy sex" that does it.
