MuseBlog

By extremely popular request.

Requested by Liesolotte: “things that are said way too much, and plotlines that are strikingly predictable.”

The random thread is being overrun with posts in Spanish. Move them aquí, por favor.

An all-new topic, requested by purplefinch. All types: ballet, contradancing, Morris dancing — whatever you do or like.

It’s incredible, it morphs, it’s chameleon-like — and yet for some reason we can’t go back to calling it the “incredible morphing chameleon thread.”

This forum tries to stay on topic longer than the random threads do. Newcomers should read The Rules and The Guide before plunging in.

Current topic: Games/Pastimes: Conkers for starters, but the discussion is bound to move on soon
Families
Disappearing bees
Historical restoration and re-enactment
Philosophy

Requested by Capricious, to popular acclaim:

Can we have a “Titles, labels and nicknames thread?” for what people call you, are you a nerd? A jock? A Sue short for Susan? Or just… You? DD

The old one is too cumbersome to load, so in answer to Alice’s request, here’s a fresh slate.

The original idea came from Prarilius Canix, who requested “a thread for Musers who have written/are writing/want to write books… a place to bounce ideas off of other people who share that interest.”

Keep on turning, you big old blue planet.

For discussions that need to be handled with care. No flaming, please.

A new installment of a time-honored MuseBlog tradition, by request of Bob and E2MB. Take a look at version 2006.4 to see how it works.

MBers have requested separate threads about soccer and cryptids. Each topic sounded a bit specialized, but together there might be enough posts to sustain a thread, so here you are. Let the confusion begin!

Requested by Romana2, who wrote:

could we have a cooking thread? Like, to share recipes and stuff? We could share our favorite pies-for-pie-throwing recipes, LOL!

We added “and Food” because not everybody cooks, but everybody eats.

Including home-school projects. By special request of iwanttobeamuffin, who is working on a project about Tornado Alley.

You know what we’re talking about: things that, for no good reason, you enjoy having around, being around, or doing. We thought this thread would make a nice antidote to all the kvetching on the discussion thread.

c+q photographed this item from her local newspaper. Team members are in grades 6 through 8. The Curious One herself is at far right, wearing her MuseBlog sweatshirt (from Musery Loves Company, of course).

GO, TEAM!

Making it, listening to it, appreciating it–just not hating it, please. Let’s try to keep this thread upbeat (so to speak).

Continued from version 2007.1.

Prarilius Canix’s idea. His description:

GAPAs, will you make a thread for Musers who have written/are writing/want to write books? It would be a good place to bounce ideas off of other people who share that interest.

A hot topic, still going strong.

Risk (the board game)
Pet peeves

Korrora’s project, described as follows:

I’m starting a Muse Calender with all the things we celebrate on it. Things like pi day, towel day, famous peoples b-days… If people know when things are (towel day etc…) would it be possible to post the date (on this thread or other designated thread)?

We thought there was a calendar right here on the blog, but apparently K. has something else in mind. As requested, here’s a thread for it.

Born 14 March 1879; died 18 April 1955.

You left the world a weirder place than you found it — and for that, we thank you.
