Bold in her Breeches does the best typos- This wasn't framed as some sort of epic cope out...

I think cop-out, but the image of a week long Julian Cope festival will stay with me for quite a while.

A nightmare, unless a large number of other really, really good acts played. Like, everyone except Cope.

& while I'm here I'll quote the concise Mr Haus on the broke system from the Policy;

grant- What kind of "regulatory control"?
Haus- Essentially, the kind where the set of people who have the power to create moderators, remove moderators, ban people who ask to be banned and so on overlaps with the set of people who regularly read and interact with Barbelith.

It's like he's channelling John Venn.

Sibelian has some STRONG OPINIONS on the subject of BEANS:

"Poached EGGS? With BEANS? Are you so subtracted of your very SENTIENCE? I would be rushed to the nearest Accident and Emergency Department and placed in a oxygen tent at the SIGHT of such an unhappy conconction."

Bold In her Breeches: I did btw suggest to the person who got all fist table slammy to instead sing out to express his frustration. I'm not sure what song he is going to pick but I think it maybe a better mode of signalling extreme frustration without triggering memories of abuse. It might break the conversation but hopeful not other people.

from the Feminisim 101 thread.

that's such a damned good idea. If I ever have occasion to feel like slamming fist on tables, I'll try to remember to sing something appropriate instead.

It would also make a change in pub/random meetings with angry folk/people on cars getting irritable type situations if that would happen more often. Which is not to say it happens to me too much, but there's a lot of it about.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
14:52 / 01.06.07
When an understandably dazed and shaky Superboy asks what happened, Saturn Girl smilingly informs him, "Sorry. I can't tell you...yet." Then thinks to herself, "Otherwise Superboy will learn about Super-Horse being Supergirl's pet." Sorry, Superboy, but we can't let you know why your mind just got completely cleaned out or you might learn that your cousin will one day own a pony. Man, does the human race evolve into jerks or what?

Seth's contributions to the single & loving it thread, here's my favourite slice of three;

"I can buy fabric pens and spend a couple of hours writing "Master of NLP" and "Life Coach" on my pink man knickers and not have anyone dump me for it."

"With a happy fuschia heart just over the a-hole one one pair, no less!"

"I can roll around on pub floors wearing only said man knickers and come home stinking of stale beer and fag ash with numerous minor injuries having sexually assaulted skinny indie blokes with daft hair and still no one will dump me!"

From the HP7 thread in Books, this made me laugh out loud and it didn't even feature cats;

poster: ...one possible ending is that voldemort turns out to be harry's real father.

Haus: That would be the most startling twist since exactly the same twist in The Empire Strikes Back. Not even Rowling, surely, is that inept.

Now in my head I've got an image of Amox and Brap and all their mates, with glowsticks, at a warehouse party run by Pinhead the cenobite from Hellraiser and his mate Bael, all off their tits and laughing at a teenage socially inept Dennis in a Coyote costume.

Alex's Gran, talking about the Sugarman

I think if Siralan can get over his broken heart from last year to the extent of picking a blonde again, he'll probably go for the orange one. When her ruthlessness was discussed the other week, it seemed as if the boardroom table might be about to tilt slightly, in the direction of the contestants.

The Flyboy tells us how hard it is out there for the actively righteous man, as he waxes on the topic of violent rhetoric:

If the form of language you use about [Tony Blair] is civilised polite debate as if he were some kind of respectable moderate statesman, that disturbs and sickens me.

Remember, kids: Every time someone says the words “Tony Blair” without adding the rider “may his bowels be devoured by fire-ants,” the Flyboy throws up in his mouth a little bit. And you don’t even want to be near his house when he’s watching the news.

(Really though.)

Gypsy Lantern offers a spell to cleanse negative energy from a dwelling place:

1. Dig four holes at the four corners of the apartment block.
2. Pour a mixture of honey, sugar and rose oil into the holes.
3. Douse apartment in petrol.
4. Set fire to it.
5. Batter any survivors with a sturdy plank of wood.

His dark magic ruins lives, you know.

Stoatie's faecal mugging deterrent in the Random Thoughts thread still makes me chuckle: I mean, my personal jury's still out on whether a pound of protection does, in fact, beat an ounce of lead, but I reckon a flimsy plastic bag of poo applied vigorously to the face could probably be MADE OF WIN.

How handy that cleaning up after your dog is not only socially responsible, it's also not too likely to be deemed as carrying an offensive weapon any time soon.

Stoatie in the "Bernard Manning dies thread".
Do you know, and perhaps this is sharing a bit too much, but whenever they have those hate stories in the tabs about Maxine Carr, I like to mentally replace the word "Maxine" with the word "Jimmy". It's oddly therapeutic.

Llama:

My Captain Jack Harkness action figure has been with me all day, clinging to various objects and screaming "DOCTOOOORRRR!"

Flyboy:

What's interesting from both the 'next week' trailer and the clip that was shown on Jonathan Ross is that the Doctor clearly isn't pleased to see Jack. Why?

...

Because whatever is up with Jack post-TardRose-resurrection freaks him the hell out? Or just because he doesn't approve of Jack's involvement with Torchwood? If it's the latter things could get a bit meta, with the Doctor standing in for the internet Who fans - "I hated Torchwood!" "I did my best, Doctor!"

It's Doctor Doctor Doctor Doctor Who Day!

Also, man above, on Gaiman:

I think he looks like an illusionist.

Which, if you think about it, he sort of is, because what are stories, after all, if not pleasing illusions? And, at the end of the story, like wide-eyed children, do we not wonder "how did he do it?", when really, we do not wish to know?

:wub:

I fucking bought Eternals, you know. Even part 7 of 6, and I begin to wonder if it is some clandestine Scientological text with the bad god buried in the Earth, just like the guy in pederast L-Ron's fantasy religion.

He might have taken that idea from Walt Simonson. Ca. 1990, WS had a huge evil Celestial buried under ground, who came up fought the F4 and then got eaten by Galactus.
