How dare you imply that there is a guilty intent? Every intent is innocent until proved guilty. My record is stainless, with neither caution nor conviction. Would you have preferred a reference to the family jewels?

You mean to say that you are apathetically reckless when playing your records? What a thing to admit here! [Eek!] (You might find vinyl a better material for your LPs, by the way. Steel tends to be a bit.. you know... solid. Unless you're into heavey metal)

Steel a heavy metal? How dare you!

Surely for that you would need Uranium or, at the least, a nice lump of lead! They build ships of steel, and they float!

Isn't there enough bullying, harrassment and general lack of niceness around without inciting Wodders to go and find someone to pick on? Is he a bishop or something?

Are you actually insinuating that the paragon of virtue that is our dear Welease Woderick is susceptible to something so base as incitement? My flabber is truly gasted by the mere suggestion that he who is a model of rectitude and bonomie might be dragged towards such depths of moral turpitude as you delineate in your unworthy aspersions.

Starbug, you are offended by BtL's spelling? Is that not a bit ridiculous? It is his total lack of coherence I find much more offensive. How can his spelling be criticized when we cannot be sure in what language he posts?

Perhaps if you were more concerned about the spelling of blt you would have got it right. It is bacon, lettuce and tomato, not bacon, tomato and lettuce. And I wouldn't be surprised if you spell tomato 'tomatoe'.

Just to clarify...

I do not recall giving anyone permission to abbreviate my nom de ploom and reduce me to a mere acronym, let alone to a bacon sarnie with pretensions to higher things. Organic lettuce and hand-reared tomatoe's are not enough to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.

Excuse me, I think you'll find it's "p.p.p.pick on the penguin" rather than "pick on the noob". If anyone's being victimised here, it's me. It's always me. It's all about me. I mean, even you're doing it, making your heightist joke about being big enough to rise above it. So if you're going to join in with these bullies, at least you can be honest about it.

We should look on the poor, heightist dears with pity as it is jealousy which drives their jibes. They are sensitive about being less intelligent, though they should not be. It is not their fault the blood takes sooo long to reach their brains that it has lost nearly all its oxygen. And we needn't mention their looks. Their stretched out, long faces, gangly torsos, ungraceful limbs, large clown-like feet. We more efficiently built folk should be more generous to those less fortunate.

Apologies, Kelly, just playing with the new toy. Not sure it will last very long. Besides, you're a bit easy lately. By that, I mean easy target, yes I did. Far be it for me to impugn your virtue, even though you do proudly live in the second most wicked American city.

Wodders, there's a private board for discussing that kind of thing. Given the fact that someone always pitches a fit whenever tightening the straps comes up in Purg—and that some of us like this part of the Ship to be a peaceful and tranquil respite from the nit-picking and backbiting—could you please not mention That Sort of Thing here? I think you might end up offending Flopsy's delicate sensibilities, giving lB ideas, and/or exciting Sylvie.

Hosting fez ON!
Things are getting a bit slow around here. Dull and repetitive, even. I'm just a bit miffed you lot haven't been able to pull out the real gems of offense, the kinds of things that, back in the old glory days of early summer, made this thread what it was. So, I'm going to have to close it . . . eventually.

I'll make you lot a deal you seem unlikely to keep. I'm not willing to let this thread die on a low note, but rather in a blaze of feckin' glory; if it must be closed, and it must, I want to see the best any and all of you can do. None may know the hour or the number on which I'll close this, but, disappoint me, and it will happen; keep the "brilliance" coming, and it stays alive.

Now let's see if you're up to this.
Host fez off.

A bit slow? Dull and repetitive? Moi? The most engaging and effervescent creature who ever set finger to keyboard? And the glory days were in early summer, i.e., before I signed up? I don't want to sound self-obsessed here, but this is obviously all about me, isn't it? Clearly, it has been decided by the inner cabal that this is 'pick on the fat boy' day, and there was I thinking that this was a caring, sharing, open and inclusive website.

PS. Change the headgear, that fez does nothing for you.

BTL, a fez was the trademark of the comedian the late Tommy Cooper. I leave you to draw the inference. Get some cultural references if you can. U-tube would help.

And while I'm on the subject, it's not at all about you. It's about KA and her fetishes. I may not share them,but I will defend to the death - preferably yours, - her right to strut them.

My fellow offendees, I must apologise. For if I had not displayed such a brilliant, shining torch; your weak, will-o-the-wisp marsh lights might have seemed all the more bright.
Yes, Ariston, concentrate on their feeble efforts, but think not of what this thread means to them.

Did you know Kelly serves as an example to inner-city youth? An example of what not to become, yes, but important example none the less. And she rescues abandoned orphans. Fagin-like, to be sure, but in this economy any employment is good, yes? I could go on with her many accomplishments, and mention that her City officials have taken note, (the Police, to be specific.) but this list is long. And this thread, of which you will rightfully show no mercy, is her only bright spot. The only thing which keeps her going. But close it.

And dear Wodders. Did you know he leads a pensioners group? Keeps them active. Well, leads may not be the correct term. Whilst meandering about the grounds, one of the others pointed to Woddders and said "'ere, 'es got three heads, follow him." To which Wodders, pointing to the empty air behind him replied, "Yes, follow him!" Then pottered off to a corner, mumbling. Still, they get their exercise. And this humble thread, this is where his random banging on the keyboard brings him. (It is, random, right? Surely cannot be purposeful.) But think not on that, close the thread.

What of Beanie and the penguin? Where are they to find friends if not for here? (By friends, I mean people willing to type on the same thread as they, but beggars and all that.) Such delusional, cranky oddities of strange odour can find few wishing to approach them. And you will take away their only refuge? Right, not important to show Christian charity here. End the thread.

Poor Syllie, where will he chase women unwilling to associate with him? His massive collection of restraining orders keep him from getting closer than telescope range of any woman IRL. (Any female creature at all, to be honest) And to be fair, he performs a valuable service. There are some here who would be difficult to stomach pursuing even virtually, but Syllie soldiers on.
But think not of what an even more sad, pathetic life he will lead after; close the thread.

Poor Zappa, his only respite from careening around the countryside, chauffeured by a mad goat, is here.

They do their best to amuse, even kingsfold made me [Killing me] once. Really more a polite half-smile, but we do not have an emoticon for that.

No mercy for poor newbie, BLT? Where else can such delusional ramblings be accepted. Oh, right, the rest of the board. Bad example.

And you, Ariston. What will you do after closing the thread? Is entertaining at children's parties enough for you? Are your solo, unattended, poetry slams sufficient? Your epic, philosophical soliloquies in the park (before the police haul you in to "sleep it off") to the pigeons and drunks, are they sustaining? Are you truly willing to let one more thread escape your meandering tiny car as it careens around the ring?

Well, lilB, am I nothing and no-one? Why is there no mention of me in the cataloque of losers you just posted? Am I to be air-brushed out of the thread, ignored, invalidated, and history rewritten to boot? Well may you grovel in feigned subjection to Ariston, mouthing passive aggressive platitudes whilst picking your nose with one hand and scratching your bum with the other. We know you are an adept multitasker, but at what to you multi? Tell me that.

Am I to have mentioned everyone who has participated on this thread? How much time do you think I have?
Besides, I did mention you both, obliquely, in two paragraphs.
And Starbug, keep your knobs out of this, it is a family thread. [Disappointed]

No, Horny One, no-one would expect you to mention everyone who has participated in the thread, only the most scintillating and perspicacious of the contributors, as indeed you have done.
However, your post would have met with more general approval had you apportioned your attentions in a manner more commensurate with the true value of those posters considered worthy of your consideration. Modesty forbids me to name names, but when a recent arrival to the boards is allotted a mere two lines, whilst Flopsy, Ole Man Wodders, Silly, Beanside and Pingu merit at least five, then I have to wonder at your ability to appreciate true worth.
What is truly offensive, though, is your blatant attempt to curry favour with "Just like that" Ariston. Yes, I can see that egos have to be massaged and noses have to be browned, but a whole paragraph? [Disappointed] [Disappointed]

On the one hand, I totally agree-- the level of show-off in Budhette's post made me have to put on a layer of 60 SPF sunscreen just to sit in front of my monitor.

On the other hand, who the hell are you, new fish, greenhorn, johnny -come -lately, mister "73 posts and I own the runway", to point this out to the rest of us?

Show Off?! It would help if any of the rest of you lot had anything to show.

Button your shirt back up, Wodders! That is not what I meant.

OH! It's like that is it? I got something to show you,sister...

(Kelly generates mana to materialize rhetorical 900- pound THANG which she then throws down on the table. WHAM. Table breaks. Splinters fly. Women faint. Children cry.)


Happy now?

No, Kelly, I'm really not. That was a nice table, too. Sure, you summoning half-ton whatsits is better than BS or Hornbones busting open their shirts and asking Syllie if he sees anything he likes, but only marginally.

Seriously, I liked that table. Now where am I supposed to eat?

Eat? You? In the presence of Shipmates?

That, if I may say so, is a completely scandalous suggestion. You will eat on the floor from the little bowl marked Philosopher - that is where you will eat!
