But then again, the twentieth century was *all about* genitalia being held responsible for one thing or another. (Freud, Melanie Klein, Lacan, etc etc etc phallus etc etc etc)

Mister Disco sums up the history of feminism and psychoanalytic theory in one convenient sentence.

Velvet Vandal on Matrix Revolutions:

So what, there isn't a revolution? The machines don't get stopped? It all just stays shit and horrible? The hero doesn't save the day? Guns and kung-fu don't, in the end, stop terrifying threats to the very nature of ontological and epistemological reality?

Man. If that's the way the film ends, it's a fucking work of genius...

...because it attempts to minimise the number of situations in which your own resources are pitted against the complexities of the world by imposing an easy-to-follow system.

Haus, in the Polyamory thread. Swoooon.

I have cameras in all your showers, everyone should keep their eyes open for my DVD out in time for Christmas "Barbeloids in the Showers" - filled with special features and deleted scenes.

The above, from (the) bear, is great stuff anyway, but what really made me grin was the following, posted about half an hour later

Where did everyone go, don't worry about the DVD I'm going to digitally attach Brian Blesseds face to all of the "stars"...

This exchange in the Matrix Reloaded thread:

The resistable rise of Reidcourchie: Why was the French guy called the Merovingian? Why not the Carolingian?

The Haus of tiny shrews: Well, they are saving the Carolingian and the Capetian, and possibly also the Plantagenet, for the finale, the Matrix Reformations, in which the royal houses are restored.

Baz Auckland: Until I read this thread, I too thought he was the Meryll-Lynchian. I couldn't figure out why he was named after a financial thingie...

sleazenation in the Gay Cure thread in Conversation:

The thing that got me was the sewing extra testicles on guys without them knowing...surely there was a moment when the doctor had to come clean - like two seconds after the patient woke up and noticed he had four bollocks!

Tryphena Sparks in the Fashion Rules thread;
I think both of you have very askew views of shoes, you need to start looking at your footwear from a different perspective.

I just love the way it trips off the tongue, 'askew views of shoes', and of course I have a mental image of looking at your footwear from a different perspective- like upside down, or from reeeeeeally far away, or through a kaleidoscope..

Houdini= "Or is it just that Warren didn't get to hear about them by "natural means"? That is to say, presumably, if Warren had just happened to think "I'm bored watching old men die in puddles of their own puke down the local, think I'll pop over to Barbelith and talk about 'A Distant Soil' and stumbled upon Cam's opinions, who would be in the wrong then?"

From the 'mortgage thread':

sleazenation Once we talked about fucking shit up and now we talk of mortgages, oh how barbelith has changed...

toksik but its a mortgage on a Fortress of Solitude, dude!
one that my brother and i share.
shut up.
SHUT UP!

A class rejoinder there...

I believe that activity is a good thing, so I like the sort of general, all-encompassing self belief that encourages people to have a go at things and not care about whether or not they are any good at it, to not care if they make a living out of it - the kind of self belief that says you don't need to be good at something to justify your existence.

(Saveloy in self-belief thread)

Does this mean that in future, when Seth posts, there'll be a feverish rush to analyse what he says by Gematria? Oh, and I suppose we could come up with a cool acronym - though Cult of Seth has a nice ring to it. I can just see Illmatic in Eygptian High Priest drag...

Absence of Gravitas makes me embarrass myself at work as, yet again, the whole office stares as I laugh.

May Tricks, in the Slogans thread, hears the Barbelith battle-cry loud and clear:

BARBELITH: MEME MEME MEME!


You've gotta love her work.

Explaining magical symbols to people that you wear about your person.

Nomination for best thread title ever.

From the 'Umbrellas' thread:

y I dream of a day when there's no need for shame, when we can all go out into the streets and celebrate our umbrellas together. Umbrellas of all colours, styles and sizes, coming together in a carnival of pushing, drips down the back of the neck, eye-gouging and being unable to see where we're going.

I think the problem with the Nazis was that they were a bit gay.

Maybe worth checking the What's Wrong With My Hallmates? thread for context, but methinks pin hits the nail smack on the head there. No, seriously. I mean look at the mustache on Herr Hitler. Just look at it!

Doctor Singapore on moving to a new town:

I was just typing something with the words "multi-cultural" in it and the spell-checker on my computer wanted to change "multi" to "mullet". There's no better description of my new home than that: it's a mullet-cultural society.

Benjamin Birdie in the Ultimates thread: As a Democrat, I too have strong misgivings about an Alien race subjugating the human race, not to mention eradicating our entire solar system.

Vincennes in the misreadings thread: Last night, I thought I saw an advert for Stalker Pensions, rather than Stakeholder. I have no idea how this is supposed to work ("Have you been following, calling or otherwise harassing another human being for over ten years? If so you could be eligible for the substantial benefits of our Stalker Pension. Make that restraining order pay - Speak to an advisor from our office.")

Oh, it did make me laugh...

toksik, in reply to the 'Do You Pick Your Arse?' thread :-

"y'know, i dont think you are going to get anyone to actually admit to doing this on a regular basis.

the

Do You Wank Into The Remains of People's Parents?

thread didn't get much of a response either."


Pretty much sums it up, really.

Sounds like a nice night in from Fraely Boyce. I'll bring the wine.

Smoothly Weaving in the accents thread, just because...:

"Someone once tried to convince me that the Australian accent came about from the early settlers' habit of squeezing their eyes half shut against the blazing sun, which sort of elongates the mouth and twangs the vowel sounds.

I'm pretty confident that that's bollocks, but I like the fact that I made you screw your face up when you read that."

Another hilarious, coffee-spraying type-moment from the ‘Accents’ thread, courtesy of, er, I'm a c**t, kill me:

...now not even people from my home town really understand me. Had an amusing crossed-purposes convo with someone a while back where they were talking about the music mag Kerrang! while I was talking about the Qu'ran

Well, fuck.

So you know, Radix packs my lunch every day, and I'm eating my lunch & I've got an orange and a hard-boiled egg, and I put aside the orange for later & I tap the egg on my desk, and I notice that the egg has a little Sunkist label stuck to its shell.

That's what I like in a guy. Somebody who would take the label off an orange & stick it on an egg.

~ Persephone

Something about this just seems so right. I love it!

Praying Mantis, in the "Dave Matthews" thread:

i think it's cool to like dave matthews, even though he's white. cos isn't he from africa or something? so it's almost like he's black, i mean aren't there a lot of blacks in africa??
and, yes, ever since he shaved his head, ryan adams has surrre looked like billy corgan, hasn't he?

Once again, Praying Mantis in the Dave Matthews: Artist Of The Year thread:

and uatu, i mean i feel what yr saying, but it's like the *way* dave plays guitar. it's almost as if you took, say, an empty bottle, which is not an instrument, but managed to play baroque music on it by blowing over the top. you know what i'm saying?

A veritable mine of quotey goodness is the backpacking thread.

Puck: An object is never broke, it just hasnt got enough gaffer tape.

grant: Do you know how to do laundry in a hotel/hostel sink?
Nick: With considerable skepticism?
sleazenation: with necessary haste.

Flyboy in the Scissor Sisters thread in Music:

"Every now and again a band arrives with a fully-formed aesthetic that goes beyond their sound whilst being entirely suggested by it."

If he was a bird I'd buy him a Big Mac and a bunch of garage forecourt flowers. I love him that much.

On the other hand, as it's you, dump her, you'll be doing her a favour in the short, medium and long term.
