We live in hope.

Parts of North Carolina are really nice! Big parts! They are!

I particularly enjoyed Hawksmoor's (from, lest we forget, The Bleed) line near the start.

So, that particular argument of yours is squashed.

You have to admire the wrong-headed confidence. Like putting blood in the water really.

It's a timely reminder that sometimes it's fun to watch a thread unroll without sticking my beak in.

It was a Sexy Party. An Orgy.

I'm still crying with laughter. Yes, it's cruel, but who needs the rest of the thread when you've got that?

Cube, that is very funny indeed.

I can't read that without putting on a comedy Dutch accent, in my head.

Mine's more of a disapproving old wifie from Orkney.

Bed Head

00:59 / 12.01.06

Wow. Oh wow. Mordant’s

continually spewing hatespeech like Gary Bushell in a woodchipper

is such a beautiful line.

A Haus of Minions

01:10 / 12.01.06

And a very satisfying image.

The Hawksmoor thread is why I love Barbelith. It's one thing to tell off a homophobic pompous jackass hack of a writer. But the consistency of wit was nothing short of glorious.

Adam wages war on wack MCs

04:17 / 12.01.06

Wow. That thread had everything.

(I wonder what will happen when "Hawksmoor" discovers the truth about Apollo and Midnighter...)

Quantum

13:35 / 12.01.06

And a very satisfying image.

I watched Fargo last night, am now imagining Hawksmoor's socked foot sticking out of a chipper. So, so, so satisfying.

dude, have you seen hi5?
its a fucking onanists minefield, hotties one second, little kids the next...
you really have to have a good sense of timing and a solid blink action if you want to get anywhere before the final song.

or so i've heard.

never seen it myself.

Toksik actually makes me Gufaw. I don't think I've ever Gufawed before, except in an intentionally comical way.

He also makes me shudder. I've done that lots, though usually it's just in an innocently cold way.

The doomingest doom in all of Doomington

Haus, regardless of the ironical contextication, in Creation:

Skin is being prepared, treated, analysed critically. This is the most important bath, perhaps, of her life.

For some reason, I quite like the use of the *gasp* passive voice. Suitable opening for a postcard story.

Phex, Conversation, Ringtones thread:

Theme tune from Pulp Fiction. Instead of saying 'I've got to take this call' I tell my friends 'everybody be cool! this is a robbery!'.

Jack Denfeld

Eddie 13 makes me laugh in Comics
That's preposterous. Warren Ellis doesn't believe in your silly "magic." Warren Ellis is a SCIENTIST!

Stoat, re: the man from t3h bleed:

Personally, I don't think he was a troll. I think he was a cock.

Succinct, mm.

21:35 / 14.01.06

Dead mouse smell is just one of those things to get used to in life, I've found. Occasionally in your flat or workplace you'll smell that unforgettable smell that means a rodent has bought it under the floorboards or in the wall cavity. After 2-3 days they dry up or get eaten by ants and the smell goes away. Circle of life and all that, I s'pose.

Loomis being glib in the Mice thread.

v for velvetvandal, on the appearance of Jimmy Saville in the Celebrity Big Brother house: (Dennis being Rodman, in case you're not watching).

Y'know what they should have done to Dennis when Jimmy came in, though? Pretended they couldn't see him. Saville, I mean. Convince Dennis that he's having some weird acid flashback of a strange old pixie-man in a tracksuit. That would have been amusing...

Loomis tries to name Stoatie's puppy:

Or something Barbelith related? Scandal. Short version of her full name: Ass Candle.

A slogan for our times, courtesy of Smoothly Weaving:

I think at some point a person has to admit that they're never going to know the right way to rub GEK.

Mordant Carnival and the great call to arms:

We are in the business of the extraordinary, chaps and chapessess. We need to give an extraordinarily good account of ourselves.

I like the "We are in the business of the extraordinary."

Our Lady Won't Do That Again

Yotsuba & Benjamin, in the Infinite Crisis thread,

See kids? Sometimes good comics do win.

Just for that sheer 'yay!' moment after months and months of everyone disliking most of Marvel and DCs output.

Smoothly

From the The Temple Forum thread.

I think of Barbelith as a street. On it are several pubs, where one may go for varying degrees of intelligent discussion (the Conversation is a big Wetherspoons), and a church.

While exploring ancient parts of the Film, TV, Theater forum, I came across this little gem.

"Wize Dragon" has a problem with the Harry Potter movie:

This is a film for no reason, except for making money, and before your 'liberal' views say 'Well what else do you expect?'. Know that I am tired of money making crap hitting the cinema, and selling Coca Cola to kids.

Cop Killer responds:

You know, I read this interesting article on how films are made to make money in No Shit magazine last month, apparently that's how capitalism works...

I couldn't help but chuckle. "No Shit" magazine. hee.

Just because I say bad things about the Amritsar Massacre doesn't mean I'm going to take it if somebody starts slagging off going to the pub on a Sunday to read the papers.

fridgemagnet explains how one can be liberal and still like aspects of your country's culture better than Orwell ever could.

"I particularly liked the intestinal rupture experiment"

cOncept in the Autopsy program thread. I didn't see it but who could fail to agree with the sentiment?

velvetvandal imagines Dennis Rodman usurping Mackem bloke as the new voice of Big Brother:

'It's day three in the Big Brutha house. Some kinda...I don' know what kinda shit is goin' on. I don't give a shit about this muthafucka. You wanna watch this muthafucka? Watch this muthafucka, I don't give a shit. I ain't watchin' this muthafucka. You watch it, I don't give a shit.'

Sax

all very exciting in a 'Dog in the Playground' way

Sleazenation in the "whale in the Thames" thread. Made me laugh, mainly because there was something inescapably exciting when a dog got into the playground at school.

Goodness Gracious Meme

17:09 / 20.01.06

Mordant in full flow. Is there anything finer?

Except now I can't just go and clean the kitchen for half an hour as a grounding excercise because I'm thinking hmm, housewight, God/desses ect. Is nothing profane anymore?
