"Can we Mjolnerate for a while? Like moderating with a hammer?"

- Thrice Great Quantum , over in Policy (Moderating the Temple)

I love the word Mjolnerate, it speaks TRUTH, and I'm going to adopt this as my favourite word of the month.

Well, you know sometimes, people repost their chats elsewhere and it's a bit dull. Maybe not here, I can't remember.

Not Prncss.

I haven't heard the expression "if you find a joke racist then you are one?". I think this is probably because my friends don't talk bollocks to me.

Ace and true.

You haven't bothered to do that, you've just Tarzanned into the forum on your vine with a yodel of "LOLOLOLOLOLOL!"


Mordant Carnival (Not the 14-year-old); Sometimes something just makes you stop while reading and think... "Yes, that is a very good way of putting things. Now, if only I could put things that way, then my sentences would be more compact."

Sometimes I imagine in my head that I post a lot more than I do.

This imaginary poster is incredibly witty, erudite and precise.


This poster is Mordant Carnival.

More crushing of Stoatie for sentences like this:

STUPID real life. Why does it have to make shit complicated?

"FILTHY ASIAN PIERCED ANDROGYNOUS FOREIGN TYPES! YOU FACE THE NOBLE MIGHT OF WESTERN CHIPPENDALE WARRIORS!"

MattShepherd achieves barbecrush status from me in describing the plot of 300, in a line which works equally well if you read it as Brian Blessed or the French Taunter from Python/Grail. Go on, try it.

Keggers on guns and/or crocs (or maybe some eldritch, gibbering Lovecraftian body parts of hirs):

They can have my giant scaled penises with teeth when they pry it from my cold dead hands!!

Sole Eater in the "cheating" thread, on the matter of his scheming, conniving ex-wife:

I'd ring her and say things like: "Does he even know how to make you satisfied in bed? (a lot more graphically though).

Meanwhile, Dead Megatron in the "bragging" thread:

I've been told quite often I'm really good at sex.

This got me to wondering if maybe some sort of skills exchange would be useful.

It's just that sometimes you don't care because you want to rip someone's clothes off (sometimes their brain clothes too).

Most serial killers are single. What does that tell you?

That they are focusing on their careers.

Yeah, if a donkey in a locked room half a mile away starts telling my mom he's going to detonate the explosive strapped round his hind leg, I'll give you a call and take it all back.

Miss Wonderstarr provides a chilling metaphor for TGWOT in the Hello-oh-wait-let's-talk-about-guns thread.

A metaphor for something, anyway.

I don't know if I have any credibility left as a moderator, but could I ask anyway for people to try and relate posts in this thread vaguely, somehow to a basic grasp of the Israel/Palestine situation?

It's like The Punisher making a citizen's arrest.

Murphy, in the All-Star Superman thread:

I'd imagine one of the hardest things to draw well in the DCU is the Bizarro symbol.

Go ahead and try it, if you don't believe me. It's like trying to say the alphabet backwards (but easier in the sense that you usually aren't drunk and being ordered to draw the Bizarro symbol by an angry cop).

Because it made me visualize - stupid, fucking ultra-visual imagination - the world's most disturbing sobriety test.

Justrix in the sex work thread:

You know what they say: One woman bitches and it's PMS - A thousand, and it is political clout.

 Well I have never heard anyone say it before, so I am barbequoting it because I think more people should!

You know, Olulabelle, I really can't take credit for that. I read it in a couple of places, namely those places associated with sex work. It was on a poster from the San Francisco Exotic Dancers Association. I am certain I have seen it online somewhere, but I can't seem to find it or even who, if anyone, first coined it. I suppose there had to be someone, unless it was used as a slogan.

There was a couple of others, although I am not quoting them exactly, as i don't remember, but:

"Stop looking for support in the lingere department."

and

"Like an orgy, it only works if we are all pulling together."

...a couple of my favourites that the SF, EDA had made into wall plaques and posters. Anyway, I just wanted to be clear that it really doesn't come from me, but thanks for the quote. I quoted it myself because I thought it had a certain ring of truth to it.

deja_vroom on time's inevitable chew:

In the world of Normal Blokes, to betray a hint of emotion about anything apart from "Under the Bridge" (very moving, All Saints version also surprisingly good) is tantamount to putting on a dress and kneepads. haus

It's like he wrote it to be quoted, but the middle phrase will stay with me until I die.
 
 
Elijah, Freelance Rabbi
23:26 / 30.03.07
I think Haus writes EVERYTHING to be quoted, actually.

Last I heard he had commissioned a huge slab of granite with all of his posts etched in a bolded font. The first line is "Look upon my posts ye mighty and despair"
 
 
Whisky Priestess

That would have to be a very, very large slab of granite. I'm not sure there's that much granite in the world, actually. He might have to nick bits out of some other planets.

Barbelith is the kind of friend who will tell you that your zipper's down, even though that'll make you feel embarrassed.

"A marriage/match made in heaven" tends to annoy me. IT WAS FORGED IN THE BLACKEST DEEPEST PITS OF THE EARTH, YOU CLOUD DRUNK SKY GAWKER.

Sibelian's typo in the miserable thread:

"My cow-orker has decided to plague me"

made me wonder how one orks a cow, and whether I shouldn't investigate this new career.

And was quite funny.

Quantum, when asked if he could be anymore cute:

I could be a tiny half kitten half bumblee creature that sings Tom Waits songs in high pitched voices and lives in a poppy.

I am all Chris Carters. I write the X-files, I'm a running back for the Vikings, I play guitar. They are all aspects of the one true Chris Carter, me. There are more of us too, that are less fameous. I keep track. The most amusing: I'm a sysadmin on the east coast, and one of my best friends is a writer who's good friends with another writer, who has as one of his closest friends a sysadmin Chris Carter on the west coast. We are everywhere. Google search for "Chris Carter" displays 746,000 matches. Our power grows daily.

Also from that resurrectothread - cusm reveals the awesome might behind his True Original Name.

(To be very clear: I am taking the FI:MI discrepancy in this particular publication to be a reflection of a broader issue in modern magical writing, rather than attempting to imply that the editor is standing on a chair screaming about girl cooties and handling all the submissions from women with sugar-tongs.)

I double extra heart MC for this image.

In addendum to an above quote..

Alternatively, Barbelith is the kind of friend who will tell you that your zipper is down, but very loudly and while pointing, in a large crowd, as if what was behind your zipper had not been borne of the alien cloning pods and indeed, is ripe for snatching.


If this poster had an advertising slogan, it would be... "Ahhhh.......Justrix"

Mako, in the Sexism in Magic thread, on diversity of truth:

Every philosophy holds truth to those who adhere to it, and this truth is usually in line with their maturity level; we're not going to burn oscar the grouch in his garbage bin because he's not teaching five year olds the mysteries of quantum gravity, even though it'd make for a satisfying viewing experience and encourage Dr HoneyDew to work a little harder for tenure.

I really wish Oscar the Grouch would teach me about quantum gravity.
