Have we seen this before?

Ignore me if we have.

Cool, I used to watch the web review I wonder if they reviewed Barbelith on the show or just on their site.

Hey, there's a new series coming on. Does this mean we might be on the telly? Better get my hair cut.

Think the place needs a clean too, I'll do the dishes, someone else needs to clean the dungeon there's a strange smell coming from down there...

TV though, I wonder who'll be presenting it this time round...

Either an inane "famous for the sake of it" celeb on their way down (Mariella Frostup) or some wacky non-enitity who thinks this is their shot at the big time when all that awaits them is cruel obscurity and death.

And lots of people grapping their collar and screaming "Ninja or pirate? Go on then! NINJA OR PIRATE?" in their faces.

Mariella Frostrup? Be still, my beating heart... no, seriously.

And they obviously haven't sussed the essential fact that, above and beyond eight, we go up to eleven.

Note that the review isn't so much for the message board as for the front page--the zine.

Remember the zine? It may be dead, but what an exquisite corpse.

I don't know if it was a repeat, but it was shown on tv Monday night. They reviewed the whole site including the bomb but were most taken with the underground. They appear to be under the illusion that we are a world-wide web of counter-culture shock troops but aw-shucks, it's nice to be liked.

Having watched some other editions, I think we could only have scored more if we had more pointless flash and primary colours. Think we could get the star-nosed mole to dance?

In the little intimate discussion between cue-ball and mop-top that came after the review they did mention the Underground is an integral part of this website. And hey we're intellectuals don't you know.
And I'm still glad I ratted you out to them, glad I say glad, and I'd do it again, see!

Hey we tackle stuff bravely. How writing words on a message board on the internet is brave I don't know. Katherine Harvey says that's what we do though so it must be true.

Orr - was it on at about 2.40 a.m on and have sign language? If so it was the one and only repeat.

So that's where all the smart kids are chillin these days. Barbelith. Ahhhhh. Barbelith.

I think she meant "recapitulates."
Barbelith is starting to resemble a
store whose shelves are gathering dust
and whose wares in the front window are
bleaching in the sun, but in the back
are weird discussions, games of strip
Russian Roulette and Donald and Daisy duck
trying to hatch a moonchild.

Evidently Katherine Harvey hasn't seen a typical Barbemeet. Unless inebriated games of Shag, Bag Or Crag featuring Doctor Who have been deemed intellectual all of a sudden

How do you play shag, bag or crag? Is it like scissors, paper, stone, but lewder?

Shag, bag or crag is also known as "shag, marry or push off a cliff". See here.

Cool. Nice little speakeasy. Can we get passwords and a little hatch at the front of the shop? Who do we put on the door?

It was a very unusual shop, because it didn't sell anything.

The shopkeeper had an odd habit of barking "Nina or pirate? Ninja or pirate?" and never seemed fully satisfied no matter what response you gave him.
