"li'l dove" is just a play on my "real" name.

So ... is your real name Big Bird? Do you live on Alphabet Street?

14:00 / 14.08.02

I think we scared hir.
Sorry Dove, we are nice people. Well most of us are.

14:09 / 14.08.02

Grant, that's the part I always fast forward through, but I'll join you for some "Let's Go Fly a Kite!" later if you like.....

so, dove, from Ireland, eh? You're not one of those Corrs girls trying to sneak your way onto the board, are you?

14:16 / 14.08.02

How dare you use the C word on this board!
Think of the children!

Hi there, dove.

(Ooops. I think we really did scare off the newbie...)

17:09 / 14.08.02

Shame on you all! Scaring off the newbies. Maybe it's not too late.

Here newbie newbie newbie! Would you like a nice piece of candy? Nobody here will hurt you, really. Come on out.

17:22 / 14.08.02

grant: Feeeed the biiirrrds

Not under the pigeon-cidal regime of Herr Major Livingstone you won't. Rats with wings, he says.

And I think we should lay a trail of breadcrumbs to entice li'l dove along the path to our Gingerbead House in the big, scary Barbelith forest.

17:33 / 14.08.02

Here newbie newbie newbie! Would you like a nice piece of candy?

I've got some puppies in my car...

17:55 / 14.08.02

oooh oooh, Randy, I wanna go for a ride with the puppies!! I wanna go for a ride with the puppies!

18:45 / 14.08.02

Excellent.

19:21 / 14.08.02

I really don't want to admit my newb' status after all that so if I hide back here can you all just nod and not have a go like?

Shame about dove though.

19:30 / 14.08.02

Do we really know that Dove was scared off? Is the 10 post limit still in place? Maybe Dove just ran out of posts.

19:33 / 14.08.02

Nah, I've been posting like a bagful of morbidly obese manatees all day and I'm still around...

21:36 / 14.08.02

Uh, people, Dove only started this thread yesterday. Not everybody's on Barbleith every day of the week, y'know. Now, who wants to come and sit with me?

the garden gnome

21:39 / 14.08.02

only if you happen to have a box of nutter-butters and a pint...

a rubber hose and a garden gnome wouldn't hurt either.

21:44 / 14.08.02

The rubber hose may not, but I think you may be wrong on the latter item.

23:48 / 14.08.02

LOL. You folk crack me up ...

Hi Dove.

Undocumented!

Welcome!

12:44 / 15.08.02

Right, Trijhaos, you're it. You should pretend to be "Lil Dove" until hir return. That way we can keep up the Barbelantics all week long with or without hir. In return, I'll promise that at the moment of your death, you will not die, but be reborn as a squirrel. Deal?

16:50 / 15.08.02

Hello, again!

Thank you for the welcomes, everyone.

Didn't mean to be rude, just had to go get some sleep.

Sean, thanks for the Belfast recommendations. That's plenty to keep me occupied for the few days I'm there. Cheers.

Questions and answers:

Ninja or Pirate?
I'm kinda undecided on this. "Cutthroat Island" is on TV tonight -- I've never seen that movie, maybe watching it would help me commit to one side or the other?
Is there any kind of "vision quest" thing that you people do to determine whether you have a pirate or a ninja soul? You know, sit out in the forest and sing sacred songs and cut your fingers off until one or the other appears to you and whisks you off to their ancestral realm? Or is it just a gut reaction that a person has?

Brand of shower gel?
Um...I'm using soap at the moment, actually. (Not literally *at the moment*, you understand.) What brand of gel do you recommend, Ariadne?

Favourite Morrissey lyric?
My teenage years were so miserably reclusive that *I wasn't even aware* of the Smiths at the time.

The lizards?
Um... I'm... in favour... of them?

Real name: "Old Evil"?
Yikes! I didn't notice "li'l dove" had such a sinister anagram. I like it! In fact, I'm going to try that name on for size *right now*...

16:52 / 15.08.02

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!

Ahem.

16:58 / 15.08.02

There's no vision quest that helps you decide whether you're a ninja or pirate.

You see, it all really depends on what you'd rather do. You can either go around wearing black footie pajamas, hissing at people, or you can drinks lots of grog, keelhaul all the ninjas, and sing nifty sea shanties.

17:10 / 15.08.02

Trijhaos, that's utter irresponsibility of you... you know the ensuing bloodshed this statement is gonna provoke...

[hhhhhssssssssssssssssssssss]

17:14 / 15.08.02

"You see, it all really depends on what you'd rather do. You can either go around wearing black footie pajamas, hissing at people, or you can drinks lots of grog, keelhaul all the ninjas, and sing nifty sea shanties. "

But do pirates have to be all jolly, gruff-but-good-natured, Brian Blessed types?

Can you be an *evil* pirate?

Can you be a Darth-Maul-crashlands-his-spaceship-on-a-pirate-island-and-loses-
his-memory-and-gets-adopted-by-a-pirate-family-and-becomes-a-jolly-pirate-but-inside-he's-still-dormantly-*evil* type of pirate?

17:15 / 15.08.02

note how Lil Dove/Old Evil refuses to deny hir membership in the Corrs....

17:22 / 15.08.02

Are you callin' me a member of the Corrs? That's fightin' talk, young Gridley!
ARRRR!

17:26 / 15.08.02

Can you be an *evil* pirate?

Sure. I don't see why not. Pirates are a very diverse lot, so evil pirates aren't unheard of. Ninjas are all the same with their skulking, hissing, and flipping out.

17:32 / 15.08.02

God damn another one went over to the pirates. I'll send the clan (that’s a small c, no K) round to wipe the scourge out of this country.
As for accusing anyone pirate or not of being a Corr.
Dangerous stuff.

18:01 / 15.08.02

Can you be an *evil* pirate?

In consideration of the extensive research that I've only just made up, I think the only truly evil pirates are ghost pirates (Teach was just socially misunderstood). You can be a ghost pirate if you like...

18:59 / 15.08.02

oh come on - I think both pirates and ninjas are evil, in the sense of being badass

though ninjas are clearly more badass

18:59 / 15.08.02

The brand doesn't matter, Old Evil, so long as it smells of limes. That way you keep Barbe-stalkers at bay.

06:50 / 16.08.02

Or maybe not.
