Hello, TMO. I've recently been introduced to forums by a friend of mine, and after reading numerous threads, becoming variously inspired, incensed or amused, I decided I liked the idea. I was pointed in the direction of this site as being one I would like, so here I am. Not a topic as such, but I thought I'd briefly introduce myself.

Come here, Flowerpot. I collect flowerpots. I like to fill them to the brim with compost and push my fists in up to the wrists. It feels like when Mother used to restrain me by the hands and force-dress me in the ugliest garments my three-year-old eyes had ever seen in their life. It was a horrid feeling then but it is a comforting feeling now. Please let me do it. If you're not up for that, then I'm willing to compromise. Sometimes I just stand in the garden with a cup in one hand, a saucer in the other, and I look - just look - at the flowerpots and I wish my eighty-nine-year-old knees would let me crouch down so I could touch the dead flowers. So we could do that instead, ok?

Here's a troll thread. It is rubbish trolling but you can maybe see the principle. The term "troll" apparently comes from fishing and dragging a line behind a boat to catch something (so, baiting people and trying to reel them in) rather than from Scandinavian myth or Billy Goats Gruff.

Hey. I used to work there once too. Evil place, you couldn't move on your lunch hour for the daytime champions shuffling around with cans of special brew. Not that you'd want to browse through many of Halifax's shops either... My friend is not of this particular site, and I have no idea who Louche or NWOD are. Or FPP for that matter (harking back up the thread).

Potential future wives may be put off by the idea of their new surname.

I read those lists. Now I feel like a novelty act. You can pull my head and my feet and I will explode, leaving a party hat, a joke and a set of mini-screwdrivers.

Do you think you could change your name to something like Hitler or Pol Pot, or are there laws against it?

The German government won't let you call your children certain names. It's illegal.
Posted by dang65 (Member # 102) on :
I wonder if there's anyone else in the whole world with the surname Hitler? Apart from comedy characters played by Ade Edmondson. I mean, if he'd been called Schmidt then presumably the name wouldn't have been that important - like being Hussein doesn't bother Nasser when he's England captain. I can't imagine having Nasser Hitler playing cricket. Actually, no, I can imagine it. This is a spluttering post isn't it. Go away stupid post.
Posted by Roy (Member # 705) on :
Hitler must have had cousins or other family somewhere. I suppose they probably changed their names to, oh I don't know, Television or something.

I think it's so cute that TMO is sending each other little secret santa letters and all trying to read the same books to talk about them and stuff. I want to give TMO a hug.

London, are you on pills today?
Posted by London (Member # 29) on :
No: just sort of gently, rakishly hungover. And wearing these really cool boots.
Posted by Roy (Member # 705) on :
Cowboy? Football? The Chemists?
Posted by London (Member # 29) on :
Cowboy = bit over. These are a sort of guilty pleasure because they came from expensive second-hand shop instead of charity shop, but they are HOTT, sort of slouchy but still quite tight, almost to the knee, soft brown leather but with these suede inserts which wiggle down the side and oh, I just noticed, between the inserts is textured leather in the same colour. Anyway I can't explain but they're luuuush.

Very nice. Round-toed? Almond? Stack heels or flat? Only joking.... I don't *really* need to know this. I'm being ultra-cool this season by ignoring the whole brown/round-toed dictat and wearing black and super-pointy over my jeans. That'll teach 'em.
Posted by London (Member # 29) on :
B-but I want to tell you! Ah, damn.
I can't do over jeans because of my phat ass. I mean, I fucking love my ass, don't get me wrong, it tilts upwards like a black girl's ass, or so I'm told, guys fucking love that, but when you put the boots over the tigh jeans with the phat sexy ass then you look ilke when Violet Beauregard turned into a giant blueberry, you remember, and they had to roll her, but in the illustration she still had the little teeny feet at the end of her? Like that.
Posted by Roy (Member # 705) on :
You're not charging me £1.50 a minute for this, are you?
Posted by London (Member # 29) on :
What is Roy saying? I don't understand.
Posted by Roy (Member # 705) on :
It was just that when I normally find myself talking to somebody about boots and butts that's the rate I'm charged.
It was a bad joke.

Oh go on then, tell me, you know you want to. But *not* if you got them at one of those expensive shops near Notting Hill Gate where they keep the second-hand scuffed Prada shoes behind glass, and try to charge £90 for them.
If I'm honest I'm not really saying yah boo sucks to brown boots. I'm just being cheap.

I was going to respond about the butt with a few self-deprecating remarks of my own. But then Roy's response reminded me not to.

Ew!!!! <----- = {to west london}. But the place where I did get them was almost as gey: this second-hand shop that's opened up just off Brick Lane, you know after you walk through Dray Walk and come out going towards the Golden Hind and Spitalfields market? As dedicated chazzers me and my wife were all like HAHA LOOK AT THE SECONDHAND SHOP, ONLY RETARDED RICH HIPSTERS WOULD GO IN THERE, and we secretly laughed at Amy for getting her Frye boots there for what we thought was loads of money, but actually it was only about £50, y'know? And then I sneaked in when my wife wasn't looking and bought these for £45. They have erm sort of yes round-ish but not totally round toes, a bit pointy too, wtf is that called? And a very small heel which is, erm, stack? I don't know your language but you'd dig them the mostest! Probably. Perhaps.
Posted by London (Member # 29) on :
D-dudes? *looks round at empty room*
Posted by OJ (Member # 752) on :
Don't know the shop, but the neck of the woods is giving me the general impression.... Haven't been over that way since paying £6 for approximately 5 "organic" chocolate truffles at Spitalfields. If I want to be robbed blind, I'll skip the tube journey and go to a posh patisserie in Holland Park.
What's this wife business btw. Is it new, hip east London talk that I should know about? I apparently accused discodamage of being a lesbian in a thread last week (I was hungover).
I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that shopping anywhere south of, say Manchester, is for overpaid hipsters. Although having said that I did find get a very nice hat for a fiver in a proper charity shop the other week.
Posted by London (Member # 29) on :
'Wife' is like best friend, flatmate and lifepartner all at once! We have boyfriends though. It's gr9 having a wife. *hugs wife*. The bitch is in Berlin at the moment though, but she's coming back tomorrow.
I thought Disco was a lezza anyway: I'm way confuse by this not being a lesbian thing she's got going on. Disco pls confirm.

I take it London's description of her boots wasn't poetic enough for you Kovacs?
Posted by kovacs (Member # 28) on :
There was only one interesting thread on Handbag (some 22-page meet-gossip-troll on General Chat) so don't feel bad. I will tell you if there is anything worth reading on Cuban Lounge. The longer I take to post again, the more promising it is for you.
Posted by OJ (Member # 752) on :
In what sense? Are you going to come back, shake your head and look disappointed?
Posted by kovacs (Member # 28) on :
The answer is "no" and I gave it a chance by looking at General Chat and Entertainment. To be fair I am in an impatient mood tonight, but most of the threads there were like reading a series of three-line circular emails sent between half a dozen workmates. Perhaps that is what TCL is "for".
Soon I will be back to tell you if Barbelith is worth your attention today.
Posted by kovacs (Member # 28) on :
1. Tim Burton redoing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory starring Johnny Depp
2. Grant Morrison rewriting superhero "The Guardian" as some kind of in-house employee of the real newspaper The Guardian. Apparently.
Otherwise I hope I have helped you save your time tonight.

i cant believe tim burton is going to be willy wonka. and sans orange people. what the hell. Old news though, barbelith loses points for out of dateness. I always want to post there but I don't think I pack the intellectual punch to go there. It'd be like trying to having sex with someone far more attractive than yourself, you'd just be too nervous to make your nob hard init. Plus itd take time. I stopped by handbag the other day, I was intimidating by the leering caps. and women.

I'm sorry jhonj I'm going to have to move this post over to Rants... or maybe I could move the entire thread over to Media? What does everybody else think? Fuck! Was that question off topic? Ack! Was that? Mmmf! ..? But..?

Anyone who thinks I am being all superior and condemnatory about internet boards tonight: I will gift you with the knowledge that I ended my evening singing "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" with one of the Mediaeval Baebes -- a band name that doesn't even make sense because if the "ae" is pronounced "ee" in the first word, it can't be "ay" in the second, and should logically be "Medi-eeval Beebes". Think of any party you have been to during 2004. Grade it out of 10. Subtract 15. That's me.

My god what the fuck is this Amazon entry. I feel sullied.
quote: Synopsis This is a collection of nude photographs and drawings of the group Mediaeval Baebes. The text explores the erotic dreams of the group giving them a mediaeval interpretation. The photographs aim to recreate the poses of women from pencil drawings by Egon Schiele and are nostalgic and slightly dark.

Magicly Dark, May 3, 2001 Reviewer: A reader from Israel The book "Songs Of The Flesh" is a unique and beautyfully arranged collection of erotic photos and text with a dark mediaevallish atmosphere. Vania's Photos are very good, they have a special style, the Beautyfull girls from the great band -"Mediaeval Baebes" give the photos alot and are condowning alot. A few Drawings reveal another big tallent of Vanias'. Mary Fiendly wrote most of the charming and dreamy text she is very tallented, some of the text was written by Katherine Blake, the former of the band. The book is very well arranged and designed, and it also contains some information about the band. All in all it's a great book to have in your art- books librery, and it's a very special collectors' item for "Mediaeval Baebes" fans and lovers.
Anyway here is "my" MB... she is quite nice actually don't you think.
I think I shall become a regular on her message board.
In fact I am increasingly sorry I ever seemed to slag off this charming and talented band. Where is that best of 2004 thread, I want to change my entry.

Posted by kovacs (Member # 28) on :
The more pictures of her I see on the internet, the fitter I believe she was. I think I have a pathetic future-syndrome whereby a woman's sexiness is proportionate to her online persona.
