Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

See, I just end up buying volume 2. But then again, I'm constantly running out of shelf space.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

But you buy more shelves, don't you?? SEE???? You aren't anti-proliferation, sillyhead!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

that #2 just eats at me in the night till I go bananas.

I'm probably doing it on purpose then, because I like the idea of you going bananas. Is there something more than pacing the floor after midnight with a grim yankee look on your face? How exactly does your bananas manifest itself? It's easy to imagine MM going bananas in about eighty different ways, but with you it's trickier.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

We can always go back to David's long-ago proposal of easier thresholds for thread creation/thread deletion. THAT WOULD BE FUN.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

bon bon: clearly suicidal.

Hecubus: clearly cruisin for a bruisin.

Nutty: clearly your Queen, Empress, and All High Priestess of Crabbiness for the evening.

I want to do it to see what sides people pick. I also decided we should be able to post in Lightbulbs anonymously. Because then we could talk openly without worrying about social capital.

Oh, so you are not actively suicidal so much as practicing social darwinism.

Only if we can vote on it preferentially.

If you didn't worry about social capital it wouldn't mean anything! Kaos! Anarchy! Pure expressions of the Id not seen since MM was 16!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'll get started!

Jon B. Death:

a) is too good for him.
b) is not an option, it's a future.
c) waits in the haunting tones of his theremin.
d) Is my favourite Endless evar.
