It doesn't you know.

Perhaps we should have a sexy party? An orgy?

It's the end...of the lith...as we know it...

sorry, that's almost certainly been done. if I remember correctly from our y2k party the proper way to celebrate "the end" is with a giant bottle of champaigne (like, bigger than you) and a hat with horns. and toilet paper. uhm. I don't remember much else about that night, for some reason.

My Mom Thinks I'm Cool

21:48 / 03.10.06

sorry, that's "our" as in "my super hero team", not "our" as in "barbelith". I have no idea what y'all did here for y2k, I wasn't around yet.

I was there, man. When unchecked hubris and seedy excess ran rampant and eventually destroyed us all. I saw this milestone in all it's terrible glory, I saw men put themselves above the very gods in heaven, I watched as the flames rose higher and the walls tumbled down.

I was there.

I am so sorry about the end of Barbelith. I was playing with it and it kind of broke into pieces in my hands.

Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?

If that's all there is, my friends, let's break out the booze and have a ball...if that's all there is.

Barbelith didn’t just end. It was murdered. And the murderer is in this very room…

There's a pulse.

I can feel it!

Oh no, that's my boil.

Oh, Spyder, how you do go on....

plays the lyre, woefully chants

Goodbye Barbelith!
May you forever be archived, at least in parts.
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
If only we could still post here tomorrow!

And even though we try (to shield our ears)
This song brings us to tears.
All our posts cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years.

And it seems to me you bit your bytes
Like a Barbe in the Lith,
Never could I find a word which the ´lith rhymes with.
And your data will always flow here
Along the internet's keenest thrills.
Your members burn out long before
Your circuits ever will.

If you keep doing your candlestick thing, don't you think then Barbelith will truly be over, with nothing but the Blood Red Destroyer standing in the ruins clutching the aforementioned dinner-party accessory?

Hey, if that's the way it's gotta end....

Feverfew

23:04 / 03.10.06

Surely that'd be a bit Merchant Ivory, though?

I was expecting Barbelith to end more in a seventies-Mexican Luchadores vs a giant Monster - glamourous movie style, not quietly with someone stalking around with a candlestick?

But, as you say, if that's how it's gotta end...

I may cry.

Eh...

Seriously, why can't it be like "Asesino de Otros Mundos?"

Santo, the masked Mexican wrestling superstar returns! This is one of the more unusual Santo movies out there, mainly because it strays from much of the normal Santo cinema formula. Gone are the long stretches of stock footage wrestling as well as numerous scenes of a turtle necked Santo drinking tea and driving his European sports car. No my friends, this one features more of a superhero Santo, complete with cape, taking on a Hitler like millionaire out to destroy the human race whose headquarters contains a moon room and guards with giant flame throwers! Not to mention the impending horror of the evil man eating blob. And did we mention the Ornette Coleman like free jazz soundtrack?

It truly does not get much better than this one!

The death of Barbelith should be with class, not luchadore masks.

Feverfew

23:15 / 03.10.06

I apologise in advance, as I have just discovered Five Minutes to Live's website, www.5mtl.com, and I have to say that if anything can save Barbelith, it is...

Or Possibly

Or maybe even

Anyway, enough of that.

23:18 / 03.10.06

I disagree. More of that. MUCH MORE OF THAT!

This is the way Barbelith ends.
This is the way Barbelith ends.

Not with a bang, nor a whimper, but a scoff.

23:26 / 03.10.06

So if barbelith is dead, are we now part of the undead?

Feverfew

23:27 / 03.10.06

Well then, let's get Turkish for a while, with:

and finally;

But let us take a serious moment to remember that, if Barbelith is dieing, or dead, then...

Shock and awe, folks.

Hey, I've seen Chinese Super Ninjas! It's terrible. But it does have the greatest "man dressed as tree kills silently" scene in all cinema.

Sadly, no ninja hijinks could save Barbelith when it drove itself to destruction. God knows they tried, but backflips and shurikens and cherry blossoms go only so far. Need I remind you all? We turned our backs on RAW.

Feverfew

23:32 / 03.10.06

To be honest I never even turned my Front on RAW. I'm young and innocent when it comes to his writings.

But I do have a copy of Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire if that counts, but I suspect it doesn't.

I'm going to leave, now, because I've already silly-ed this thread greatly past candlestick tolerance, and I'm very, very tired.

If Barbelith could, y'know, not be over by the time I wake up, that'd be, y'know, great? Just keep trying, everyone!

23:35 / 03.10.06

Hmmmm, wassat? Over? Done? Finished? Damn, I just dozed off on the sofa here, woke up hearing some kind of ruckus*, and you're all telling me it's over?

I always miss the endings. Did anyone videotape it?

*Maybe it was contretemps - I'm not really sure now.

I suppose it is my solemn duty to go about the earth, picking off Barbelith members one by one, saving myself for some sort of overly dramatic suicide by cyanide pill or rabid hedgehogs.

But oh, what will the tabloids say!!!!

23:51 / 03.10.06

Eh...what? Do you mean "password"? Or do you mean "I'll be taking a much needed break from Barbelith"?

23:53 / 03.10.06

The above to PW, obviously.

Kali, the tabloid headlines are obvious:

HOLY SHIT, SHE REALLY DID THE HEDGEHOG THING

We Didn't Think She Was Serious About That

Earlier than I thought

00:00 / 04.10.06

Oh, right. For christ's sake, no-one switch the lights on, it's been a few years and, well, this sort of thing takes a certain toll, you know.

Leave the keys with Mrs Johnson next door. I'm seeing empty unit with a slowly growing pile of junkmail and yellowing local free papers inside the door. I'm sensing charity shop this time next year.

But shouldn't mention the hundreds of intellectuals I slaughtered to make Barbelith infamous? An eternal ghost story?
