Sarcasm punctuation functions rather like the use of the emoticon, really. If you feel you need to use them in communication, either you or the person you are trying to communicate with probably shouldn't bother.

While Barbelith's support for novelty smileys occasionally leaves threads looking as if they have neon syphillis, they do at least quickly and conveniently denotate what is likely to be worth reading on a page.

That last to Sib, obvs.

12:38 / 06.06.07

It's actually necessary on some discussion boards, that particular little monster. But, yes. Eur.

12:39 / 06.06.07

If you feel you need to use them in communication, either you or the person you are trying to communicate with probably shouldn't bother. (my emphasis)

Quite. Like when you say 'Everything begins with an E' as a gag and someone says 'No it doesn't, what, ecup? espoon? You're stupid!'
Sometimes the only thing to do is smile and nod.

12:42 / 06.06.07

I might steal sib's gif and use it instead of %. There's a fashion for comedy gifs here at the moment, isn't there?

Perhaps an animated lolcat saying I IZ BEEN SARCASMIC?

12:52 / 06.06.07

Why Sibelian, whatever do you mean?

12:56 / 06.06.07

can it be sarcasmic time now plz?

Wow, the gifs are so annoying, barbannoy accomplished. I think I'll stop now.

NO.

YOU DARE NOT.

And let us nver forget how the sting of an unsubstantiated accusation, personal attack, or splinter of bigotry is soothed away by the inclusion of a yellow smileyface at the end of the post!

See? All better now

13:18 / 06.06.07

Absolutely. Nothing says "I wish to insult you, but am a moral coward" quite like a smiley face.

13:30 / 06.06.07

What I was hoping to point out in my little rant was that having a bad time in life doesn't necessarily convey magical abilities

Oh I agree completely. I was just trying to say that the phrase "Abyss" is used in lots of different ways in magical discourse. And many of said uses make me want to reach for the faceknives. Some of the discussion in that thread - not yours BTW - had me going nngggh, a little.

13:31 / 06.06.07

Meanwhile, the Charles Cosimano thread.

14:14 / 06.06.07

Yeah, interesting application of the word 'lucid'. Maybe it's ironic.

Q;

Presumably you realise that every time that thing blinks, it's adding an extra ten minutes to your time in purgatory?

It may seem do-able at the moment, but I don't know if it is, really.

Ok, we all deserve to burn in hell because of stuff to do with things, but you have to draw the line somewhere, man.

You've already, by my estimation, clocked up thousands of years. Thousands, and thousands.

I lied in Temple when I said I didn't have an abyss. That flower is the abyss. Look, you can actually see where it reads 'Paul is dead' on the pupils, every time it blinks. And then it reminds you Paul's still alive and it's the good Beatles who're dying. Ringo might be next. If the world is just, that flower has to cough up a little ipsissimus-badge right out of the screen. I'll just synchronize my blinks with the flower, like old John Dee staring at the sun, and let the horrorshow inoculation of forever wash over me until...

16:29 / 06.06.07

T'WAS NOT MY INTENT! GOD BE MY WITNESS!

I throw myself upon the mercy of the lith, *ouch* that smarts.

Too late. We can't stopper the bottle now.

Oh well. It's been nice knowing you all. Let's sing some songs and make this a happy time before that thing devours us all.

"And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred!"

"They're starting to open up the sky.
They're starting to reach down through.
It feels like they're letting that in that split second of darkness.
And time is slowing down.
And if we only had a little more time.
And this time is all there is.
Do you remember the time we .....
And all the times we .....
And should have... and were going to.... and now...
And then do you remember how we could justify it all?
And we knew better in our hearts.
We knew better.
And we told ourselves it didn't matter and we chose to continue.
And none of that matters anymore in the hour of our twilight.
And soon it will be all said and done and we'll all be back together as one
And we will continue...."

That fucking flower. I think that's where all the bees have disappeared to, personally.

17:27 / 06.06.07

It's like an automatic mantra of evil. Isn't it sinister, in a cute kind of way, like getting mugged by ewoks on crack.

17:34 / 06.06.07

In some ways, this is the funniest thread on Barbelith.

Deculture Decedent

17:49 / 06.06.07

See, Stoats, as if one song wasn't enough, I'm now hearing Where Have All the Flowers Gone thanks to someone's 'disappeared' comment, except we know where the flower is, it's just the soldiers and the bees that are missing. I'm an American, we're not prepared to do without bees and armed forces!

It is cute, though. Cute in a sinister way, I'd think, rather than the other way 'round. Sinister in a cute way is whatever the villain is in Strawberry Shortcake stories. That flower and ewok-assaults are definitely cute in a sinister way.

Oh, God. What have I done.

I've got a horrible presentiment as to where the Uncle Chuckie thread is going next. Wait... the vision is becoming clearer... I see defensive mutterings as to how loads of people have done psionic stuff. I see people recalling how they once saw this Russian guy on breakfast telly who could make sparks come out of his fingers. I see people countering questions as to the ethicality of psionic seduction by telling everyone not to be so PC...

I'd wade in, but I think I also have "trying to inject anything of worth into big steaming heaps of tripe" fatigue.

PS if you say "Tesla" a lot of times, it is a proof of magic and you win.

Banish with laughter dude, banish with laughter. Need a hug? Just look upthread, the psycho hugs daisy loves you

19:08 / 06.06.07

Could someone with gif madskillz stick a bloodied knife in the leaflike hand of the hugs daisy for me plz? Or an ewok's decapitated head?

Quantum, did you learn nothing from Little Shop of Horrors?

Today an ewok head. Tomorrow?

Not good enough, my friend. Only one solution remains.

Jack Horsley's Matrix Warrior, being the One is one of my favorite new 'occult' books. The first matrix hints at mysticism, and maya, illusion linked to cyberculture really impressed me, Hoursley, in flipping through this again, i just realized, i picked the 'log on' name for barbelith without realizing i was quoting from this little gem of a book

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

From the "introduction" Rocky Horror had knowledge of ufo data generally unknown to the public, links to mythology, mars, moon artifacts. The opening verse of the film's lyrics says, "See androids fighting Bard and Janet" , despite the fact that no such creatures are in the movie-but exactly the type of anthropomorphic robots we call "androids" are part of real UFO abductions.
