It is cold so I am wearing lots, I exert myself, I get hot. I sweat. I take my top layer off, I stay hot, I stop cycling I AM INSTANTLY FREEZING and stay cold for about three years.

Wow!

Kali really makes me laugh and want to cuddle her at the same time in the Introductions thread:

Should I field the snogging question? It does seem my area of ascribed expertise...

your ass, as they say, is grass unless you pull a Frewer gem out of it. Like "I'd love to explain my complex ideas on intergenerational mores amongst the economically disenfranchised, but at the moment I am just too disheartened by Matt Frewer's lacklustre performance as Sherlock Holmes in a series of tele-films circa 2000." This will spark off a round of rousing debate as to Frewer's appropriateness for the role and whether any non-British actor should be allowed to tackle Holmes, including even Frewer, the thespian's thespian.

This is rarely used, but almost always works. The "Frewer Gambit," as it is now known, has gotten me out of a number of jams and is solely responsible for my survival to date. Use it judiciously, but not with abandon, and good luck.


MattShepherd gives the new board members priceless survival tips.

John, the electronic boy makes a startlingly passionate bid for this week's No-Prize in the 7 Soldiers thread...

And, if you're a humanoid-universe, I think having a spear shoved in you would be bad. It would break the containment field keeping all your stars and shit in place, and it would be like an insanely huge rod trust through a signicant area of space, obliterating whole galaxies. Literally a rip in the space-time continuum, inside this thing's body. That would fuck you right up.

I mean, one thing that always drives me mad is that Midnighter and Apollo never really have any responses to the gay jokes that people aim at them except to stick pneumatic drills up their arses.

Tom makes a very cogent point.

I will haul out the big black suitcase (I don’t do that for just anyone you know) and see what juicy bits I can find.

Pegs makes me think of Jeff Dahmer in the Psychedelic Fascism thread. *shudder* The suitcase under the bed full of juicy bits? Be afraid...

There's info on them here, since I'd rather not write about fourteen year old girls on the Internets for too long I'll bid you good day.

Sorry, but this by P"h"ex tickles me in the Blog 27 thread.

Lekvar: Among my social group, "Auto Erotic Asphyxiation" is much more likely to come up in a conversation than, oh, say, "Wearing a Tie" or "Paying Taxes." I'm guessing that your definition of sowing chaos and mine are a little different.

Keggers: If you do the last wearing a tie and paying taxes wrong you get autoerotic asphyxiation...you've both choked and screwed yourself.

Lekvar: I... I think I love you, keggers.

Keggers: Ok, but you're not getting anywhere near my tie-rack.

...instead of letting a bunch of lame old guys debate over it's existence, it'll hopefully be smart enough to attach itself to some anti-tank guns with a megaphone and start giving the orders...either that or it'll get addicted to a pink gooey drug called nuke, fight the police when it wants more, and our secret, hybrid stem-cell mutants will battle it head to head on pay-per-view...

Crichton and Aeryn are both in a Stargate SG-1 episode

Why don't the people who determine what science fiction shows get cancelled and which ones get renewed just come round my house and torture me to death and be done with it?

All of the training scenes were so over the top, it was like watching Full Metal Jacket turned up to 11.

Not really, no. I mean, I rather like democracy. It allows me to espouse radical political philosophies, while reassuring me that I am unlikely to have to cope with the implications for myself of those philosophies becoming law. It's a bit like the duvet of governmental systems, really - very calming.

Haus does it again.

Quantum - yes, Quantum is my real name, no lie. My other middle name is Fierdash, I shit you not.

Just wanted to make sure everyone saw this. Holy shit those are awesome names, I'm terribly envious.

That is pretty kick ass.

That combined with Haus Widdershins proves that Lithers have the best names.

I can confirm that those are indeed Quantum's names.

Amazing aren't they.

Just to deflate his ego a little bit, he has a considerably more normal first name.

Not THAT much more normal though. Which is why I keep forgetting it...

Which is quite rare, in my experience. Most people shorten it to 'Tus.

Maybe you have to read all 5 pages of the thread about "Chavs", including Rural Savage's lengthy attempts to theorise that chavs can be detected through their cold, black eyes, devoid of all empathy, to laugh at this line from Haus.

So, people stop being chavs when their eyes change to being un-chavlike, but then return to being chavs when their eyes "chav up"?

Lots of wisdom in the "I am a bad American" thread.

Nick -...It's the tacit motivation for the Stern report: the concern that only a threat to capital can drive corporate capital to reform. Are we even genuinely in a democracy any more? (Were we ever?) Or have we simply moved from inherited rulers to unelected corporate ones, or worse, are we now the second species on the planet? Has the corporation - a sort of conceptual colony organism feeding on resources and excreting money - become the dominant life form on Earth?

Seth, giving away the ending to The Prestige (DON'T LOOK!):

Angier was Jack the Ripper and the final shot of the movie, post credits, was him formulating his plans to send his Tesla-made army of Rippers to take on the Vatican. Meanwhile Bordenchrist is the only man who can stop him...

I'm not sure how you could miss that. Are you some kind of buffoon?
 
 
Quantum
12:55 / 18.11.06
Most people shorten my first name to 'Chav' or 'wanker'. I don't know if that's *shortening* as such.. I really want to quote the chav thread but I can't decide, chav=Incredible Hulk is good but I think When was the last time you took a shit? How do you go about getting an authoritave opinion on every single person? I think you might be set to code beige. by Rural Savage wins the toss as most gnomic utterance of the year.

I'M SET TO CODE BEIGE! DON'T FUCK WITH ME!

Here in the N-to-the-O-to-the-R-Wich sn00p in the Hipster thread

Almost. Almost makes Norfolk good. You know Bernard Matthews original catchphrase (before 'Bootiful' took off of course) was 'Norfolk and good', until some savvy ad dude realised that in Newcastle it didn't sound quite so catchy. (Try it in a Geordie accent, go on.)

True fact.
