    Happy New Year, newbies! *firecracker pie* Welcome to MuseBlog! I think three posts is enough posts for simple pies. Down to business.

    First, read all the pages posted on post #0 (or the one at the very, very top under the big green title).

    Please, please don’t post “I LIKE CUCUMBERS” on every thread. Or on any thread that isn’t designated for liking cucumbers. Stay on topic, maybe read the few posts before yours until you know what’s happening.

    dnt spk lke ths. ths is not a chtroom. it is not myspace. it is not aim. We speak like people here, not computors.

    That’s enough for one post, methinks.

Rest assured, I haven’t done any real hitchhiking, but if I had I would let you all know. :) ) If you must fire pies at me you must*giggles because she enjoys this particular pastime*, but be warned that I have a pie-cannon in the backseat of my Ferrari.

    It’s okay if you post on threads that were created in previous months, like RRRs and such, but if you’re talking about the monthly random threads and such, then it probably wouldn’t be that good of an idea. However, if on (for example) on the December random thread they were talking about potatoes and it was January now and you wanted to talk about potatoes, even though everyone else was talking about celery, you could say something like “Hey, you know how last month we were talking about potatoes? I think potatoes are awesome.”
    Or something like that. Sorry if this is a really bad explanation. o.o

    It looks to me like most of the newbies who know how to type in English haven’t moved off this thread much…or maybe my attention just isn’t drawn to them on other threads.

    Feste
    Why, “some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrown upon them.” I was one, sir, in this interlude, one Sir Topas, sir; but that’s all one. “By the Lord, fool, I am not mad!” But do you remember, “Madam, why laugh you at such a barren rascal?An you smil not, he’s gagged”? And thus the whirligig of tim brings in his revenges.
    ACT V part 3

    and of course, what Feste is refering to is when they bound Malvolio, put him in a dark room, and Feste came in dressed as Sir Topas (Topas supposedly prevented you from becoming crazy) and tells Malvolio he is crazy.

    (126, 129) Feste says “thrown upon them” in the last scene of the play. But in two earlier scenes, when Malvolio reads and then quotes the letter he believes Olivia left for him, he says “thrust upon them.”

    Where pieing is concerned, either reading would make sense. Kokopelli throws his pies, but lesser practitioners of the art might need the greater control that thrusting affords. That’s what Rosanne and I decided when we pied each other at the Kokonvention.
