I imagine that there's a lot of intra-crew shagging that goes on back at the hotel, after the vigil; all the stress and exhaustion and crazy adrenaline rushes setting off all kinds of weird hormonal surges; it starts with oh-I'm-so-scared-please-hold-me and ends in crazed weasel-like rutting.

Jack Fear, talking about Most Haunted, causes us both to feel a little bit ill and wonder why you don't read reviews like that in the Radio Times.

What's the collective noun for E. Randy Dupre's wives? A giggle?

Olulabelle, in the Discuss DeDI thread.

If I hadn't been giggling at about word four, it may not've been so funny. But I was and it is.

Seth, on drumming a particular rhythm, over in the Drummming thread in the Temple. I think it's beautiful.

It should be as natural to you as walking or wanking, dancing or fucking, so that when you play it is you. If you're doing it right then the rhythm you create, paradoxically to it being an expression of you, should feel like a living entity outside of you. It should writhe around, threaten to break out of control, you should feel as though you're riding it rather than creating it.

What sort of noise? I mean, you could have a beetle chewing on your inner ear

Decrescent Daytripper in the insomnia thread. I suppose you *could* have a beetle in your ear, and it certainly would make a noise, but... has DD had that happen, do you think?

11:52 / 06.05.07

Actually, I'd just been, in another window, reading an article about how the only really dangerous insect to get in your ear, aside from poisonous types, is a kind of wood beetle that is in the States and Canada (and much of Asia) that can chew through to your brain.

So, y'know, it sounded creepy enough to get a respone. Since no response, I suspect they got to sleep comfortably knowing it's just a beetle.

Yeah, yer picture in the other thread? Made me smile enough to relax and almost hit the sack. Now, if I do, I'm going to end up like the guy with Checkov. I'm too young to be a redshirt.

Two completely unrelated, though consecutive posts which go so well together, in the "what song is in your head right now?" thread.

Decrescent Daytripper- For a bit of synchronicity weirdness, I'm sitting here listening to an iPod full of several dozen songs, on randomize, and it's my friend's so I don't even know what's on it... and literally less than ten seconds after I sigh wistfully and whisper 'Que sera sera' what song starts up on through the headphones?

Brigade du jour- 'The Big Sky' by Kate Bush. The 'diddly-dy, diddly-dy, diddly-dy, diddly-dy' bit. Hope that helps.

A whole post here from Velvet Vandal because for me it's utterly hilarious and I love the visual picture it creates:

We had an enemy cat, for a while. Big ginger fucker. The whole business stopped after he came in through the lockable catflap, got trapped in our kitchen, and I went after him Chow Yun Fat style with two water pistols. It's surprising how much two-gun action you can get out of a guy chasing a large ginger cat around his kitchen with water pistols. We should have filmed it and put it on youtube or something.

BTW, I did have the back door open at the point it all went John Woo. The stubborn bugger kept running away from the door. WTF is up with that? I mean a wasp will move toward the damn door if you open it and swat it in that direction. But an Enemy Cat will actually, in the teeth of a two-gun water pistol assault, try to get further into your house.

Crazy mofo.

Same thread, triplets-

This looks like a movie for Chow Yun Cat.

Yes I quite agree. I would have come and put it here but I only just quoted VV, and I didn't want to hijack the thread.

Think about it... back in the glory days when Spider-Man came out we were innocent, wide-eyed kids of 30, and now we're jaded 35 year-olds... we need to get back that sense of wonder, man! Find the child inside!

Any decent space and attendees will recognise that for some women, being there took all the guts they could summon, while for others it won't be a good night out unless they get forcefed liquorice shoelaces by an off-duty District Nurse.

You know what worries me? Not parallel universes. They're next to us, just chuggin' along. That's fine, says I, leave 'em be.

No, what worries me is what happens when we hit one of the perpendicular universes.

Velet Vandal ruins another day for me.

I'm becoming a paranoid, nervous wreck slowly but surely.

Not a quote, so much, but alas' entire post over in the Switchboard 'A barrister provoked...' thread is just incredibly and deftly efficient.

From the consent thread, alas says:

I think the thing that I'm wanting to realize in all this, and in thinking about this from a theoretical standpoint and not one where I'm trying to actually write a campus policy or our post-revolution constitution's bill of sexual civil rights and wrongs (heh heh)... is more that sex is always potentially dangerous when it involves any "penetration" of a body or intimate zone, even the touching (or just, say, staring at) a zone of the body regarded as "intimate," by another person is arguably a kind of penetration. Saying something sexual to someone is a kind of penetration. Even writing to you, in this space is a kind of penetration of your minds, and therefore your bodies, and it carries risks.

Quoted for the poetry and strange, alluring rhythm of the paragraph, particularly in leading up to that last line.

Waah, and I only came over here to offer the odds on a current nano-contretemps in the Temple, where the 'What would the world be like if everyone did magic not just special people?' thread is going not altogether swimmingly, but on the other hand has permitted such a one as Talks to Strangers to drop such pearly pearls as

It's just another skill-set when you get right down to it. It's sort of like imagining an Earth full of people who were really great at coding, or bicycle repair, or a world where everyone was a fantastically skilled prostitute, or a Planet of the Plumbers. A world where the mighty nation of people who put in faux-oak beams from B&Q do battle against their deadly foes, the people who did their own patio and stone-cladding from Homebase.

I swear I've seen that episode of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda.
