The title of this month’s random thread comes from a famous but unfashionably florid poem by the 19th-century American poet James Russell Lowell. It starts like this:
And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An instinct within it that reaches and towers,
And, groping blindly above it for light,
Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers…
PIINK FUNGAS UNDER YOUR TOENAILS!

GOING TO A LIBRARY THAT ACTUALLY HAS THE BOOK YOU WANT!
oh thanks guys. i totally thought this was a thread about rare stuff. why do threads pop up before they are finished?
Because one of the GAPAs has to wrap things up and go to bed.
dude, it’s not even midnight. anyways, you used to stay up until 1:00 all the time.
Wow, it’s the first one (that I know of) that doesn’t have the name of the month in the title.
1- also, finding a pen when you need one, and not finding a pen when you need a pencil
that’s right.
no, there was January’s; Out with the old, in with the new.
Music Class:
* ^&%*#@ walks in*
$#%# “Hey ^&%*#@, you stoned?”
^&%*#@ “Wha…?”
*whole class bursts out laughing*
libraries usually have the book i want. do you guys ever have days where little things you were hoping for happen. like you found the homework you thought you forgot or something?
yeah, i was thinkin, don’t we get a thread every june? don’t we get maybe 5? actually, we’ll probably get away with 2 or 3, because everybody will be on vacation for half of the month. then again, that was exactly the problem in december.
Alas! I am finished! The acursed thing is printing as we type.
…and there was much rejoicing

Happy June all! Skool’s almost out!
Only 2 days left, then examms!
Yahroo!! 4 more days of skool!!
My teacher may be lurking…
Ok, Museblog, I’m going to Oregon today, so you probabaly won’t see round much for thext 5 days or so. Don’t cry too much, I know you’ll find some way of having fun without me.
Well, I’m off, like a piece of cheese!
Hmm… I think I have the rhyme scheme figured out for that excerpt of the poem.
ABABCCDEDE
Not too weird… at least not compared to a couple of poems I’ve read.
School is over.. I am sad. I got out of 8th grade, and I may never see some of my friends again(some are going to different high schools). I am depressed.
cool pic!
Happy June
GRR! I hate it when I forget to change names. Well, to any one who doesn’t already know, Lemon Curry (post 12) is me.
I think that rhyme scheme sounds excellent, Gwendolyn, I want to try it.
(14) I know how you feel… I was happy to leave Middle Skool, but it’s also a sad end-of-an-era sort of feeling to.
(I have a few min. before I leave for the airport)
I was encountered a rhyme scheme that went…wait let me think…
ABCBACCBAACB
or somting like that…I think they just used random words that rhymed in no piticluar order. It was Cunfuzzling.
I feel like a little kid around you guys! I’m going to seventh grade come August, and you’re all going to HIGH SCHOOL.
Skippy, where are you going? Tell us what it was like when you get back if you’ve already left!
Oh, by the way, I’m not going to be around much during the next two weeks. I’m doing a creative arts program on weekdays from eight to three, I think.
*reads post twelve* Oh, you’re going to Oregon. Have fun!
#16: have fun! dont forget about us! *realizes that SNs already left*

Hehe, tomorrow school lets out. And next week, at this time, I’m going to be in merrie England. w00t w00t. We’re visiting London, then going around the southwest.
Oh, and in my post, I guess I did something wrong, so the pirate stuff website is
[USECGO, we’re zapping most external links here at MuseBlog. It’s a newish thing we started in November. (See The Rules.) That’s why the link disappeared. — Rosanne]
and what was the point of making a post saying thast? (no offence but i just read the whole ‘bye MG’ post and i aggree that we should be a bit more careful about what we post.)

You luckys! I get out on the 14th… I got my yearbook today! Though on the bus, all the jr. high kids kept wanting to read it and trying to snatch it away from me. They’ll get their own tomorrow…
I’m going to northern NY for my grandma’s 70th bday party…so I won’t be here for a few days
Sorry, Dragon eye, you didn’t. But will it REALLY deprive you of sleep? 22

I’m a lumberjack and I’m okay
I work all night and I sleep all day…
oops, make that “I sleep all night and I work all day”, I think. It’s been a while since I’ve experienced the wonder that is the Lumberjack song.
I get out the 16th
and its starts to roast
rare………..
Spring that urania and kilo and all there sis. were at and pegasus did
June is busting out all over!
Someone had to say it. Nancurry, we will miss you and eagerly await your return. Take a picture of yourself reading MUSE in Oregon, ok?
I feel asleep during the Sports Awards assembly at school. It was just so booooooooooring!
Lizzie- I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I go to the lavatory. On Wednesdays I go shoppin’ and have buttered scones for tea!
FINALLY!!!!!
It finally started to get warm….after 50 degree weather, this weather is really a shock!
I was singing the Lumberjack Song today! Only I couldn’t remember the words, so I was singing the chorus over and over again.
it was 90 degrees today and I just HAD to be wearing long pants. And we had track practice. Ugggh. Fortunately, it’s supposed to rain and get cooler. *sighs in relief*
only 28 days of skool!!!!!!!!
i am very sad, because i have to go to skool, while others rejoyce out of skool
i wear high heels
i skip and jump
i go to the lavatree
on sundays i go shoppin
and have buttered scones for tea!
thats the only verse i remembe, besides the chorus
Ha. Hahaha. You foolish not-on-the-hades-like-west-coast people. Two days before June and BOOM. Instant heat.
I hate the world. -broiled- D:
hehe. the rest of my family is complaining about the heat today. im wearing long pants + a sweatshirt right now, + im still cold.
so i definitely found the blender today (yays!). i just had a smoothie, + it was very good. my dear mother bought me my very own 32oz thingie of yogurt the other day…ha, itll probably be gone in 2 or 3 days.
I just want to say, i LOVE Chasing the Sunset. big surprise, but, well…
don’t worry, DLOD, I’m still in skool too!
37- Lyk OMG. Same here. I went to a student council party at the mini golf course, and we walked there, it was liek 3 blocks. And I didn’t wear my heelys!! I couldve gone much faster with them!!
I’m in school until June 23.
Happy Shavuot all you Jewish people! Have fun eating blintzes and cheesecake and stuff. (On Shavuot you eat dairy)
I can’t think of anything else to say. Back to lurking.
Critters have feelings,oh, critters have feelings too
Critters have feelings, what’s a critter gonna do?
I live in a woods,
Where nothing is as it seems
The other night under the stars,
I met the woodchuck of my dreams…..
I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wildflowers…
I think…
oh! i know that song! you see my languige arts (advanced yay!) teacher is big on filming and we all have to make out own movies and this kid adapted the lumberjack song to a ‘hobo song’ (he played a hobo) it went
“i’ m a hobo and i’m really cool-i like to jump around in the pool!
everything is cool and fine in may – and then i go and i like to eat hay!
i’m a hobo and i’m really cool and that cat is not MINE!”
(he was talking about my idiot kitty-po hho was following us) i don’t know why i told you that but it has to do with the lumberjacks a bit!! :)!
I will hae a happy shavout!~ *bakes cheesecake for every MBer*
Cheescake party!
chesecake pie! *splat*
where is everyone?!?!?! i have the last post on all the ones i can talk about! hello…. well at least i will have people saying stuff when i get back on! byby for now!
I’m going to be singing songs a lot this month. No reason in particular. Just feel like it.
Thirty-Seven years ago, a witch done put a spell on me
A spell that when I’m talkin’, I’m singin’ it with glee
When you’re singin’ all the time, you’ve got to live alone
That’s why I made this mountain shack my hoooome!!!!
When you’re on a mountain, there’s lots to be afeard
That’s why this here old mountain goat’s prepaaared!
*yodeling*
Well I got horns that open bottles
And I got horns that hold my keys
I got horns that when you turn ’em right, they help me watch TV
I got horns that open pickle jars
And horns that come with hair
I got horns that hold my other horns
I always come prepaaared!
Be prepared
Be prepared
This lesson must be shared
This lesson must be shared to be prepaaaared
Be prepared
Be prepared
And unless you’ve got a spaare
You’ve got one life so handle it with caaare
*more yodeling until music ends*
80000000 bunny points to whoever can cite the movie this came from. My little two year old sister was obsessed with this movie for the longest time, so I have it memorized.
Yum.*eats cheesecake pie off face*
But a sad day too…:(
Today as part of a thing we do at our school, our teacher Mr. Pittner got to pie Michelle, a girl in some of my classes with a whiped crem pie. Then another guy called Jespret(we just call him Jippy) got to pie my math teacher, Ms. Giampalo. I got a really good picture of that one, his hand was on the pie ti which was stuck on her face, and it turned out really well. ^^ Happy day.
gwen, there’s kitten or somebody. she’s eleven. and there was some 4th grader around here for about 3 posts.
singees! fun! um…

“Let the eagle soar,
Like she’s never soared before.
From rocky coast to golden shore,
Let the mighty eagle soar.
Soar with healing in her wings,
As the land beneath her sings:
‘Only god, no other kings.’
This country’s far too young to die.
We’ve still got a lot of climbing to do,
And we can make it if we try.
Built by toils and struggles
God has led us through.”
*is pied*
103 degrees!!!! ack! I’d die! when it gets to 80/90 I’m pretty much dead.
I become roadkill at about 98 degrees if it’s humid out.
Hello all. I’m sad today. I’ve been volunteering at a bird treatment center, and had a couple months ago agreed to take home baby birds and feed ’em when they were brought in orphaned. Well, anyway, yesterday they got to baby juncos in (songbirds of some sort, grow up to be about the size of chickadees). So me ‘n’ my mom brought ’em home, feeding ’em every twenty or so minutes like you’re supposed to. Sometime last evening, they started only wanting to eat every forty or so minutes, so we started feeding ’em every half hour. So, anyway my mom fed ’em until about midnight. Then, I happened to wake up at about 2 o’clock and I went out to check on ’em. One of ’em definitely ate some, and I really can’t remember about the other. To get to the reason why I’m sad, when mom woke up at 5 or so this morning when my dad got up to go to work, one of the baby birds had died. Then, at 7ish mom woke me up to try and help her get the other one to eat, ’cause it wasn’t really tipping its head back and gaping like it was supposed to. It was just sort of opening its mouth just a little, like it was hot and panting (yes, birds do pant). But I can’t believe it was hot, ’cause I was pretty chilly. Well, anyway, while I was looking at it at about 7:30, it died, too. So, now I’m kinda depressed.
Please cheer me up musers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Well, on a happier note, I have officially declared summer in Alaska. A week ago Friday, the lake by my house was warm enough to swim in. This is the first time I can remember the lake being warm enough to swim in May. Usually it’s more like June before it’s warm enough. The temps have been up to around 80 recently, so it’s been kinda hot in the house, ’cause we don’t have air conditioning. (Who, except businesses, do have air conditioning in Alaska? There’s only about a couple to three months out of the year it would be needed.) The last couple of days though, it’s been rainy and only in the 40/50/maybe 60s and rather chilly. Oh, well, we needed the rain ’cause the fire danger level had currently been at extreme ’cause of all the dry weather recently. I think it’s going to turn out to be sunny and warm today, though.
Well, I got the scores back on my Highschool Graduation Qualifying exams that I took back in April. I got the scores back on Monday the uh second I think. Well, I passed all of the sections. Yes!!!!! And, I was rather surprised at this, on the math part, I got all the points possible, which means I answered all the questions right! I mean, I thought I’d known how to do ’em all, but I didn’t really think that I’d’ve managed not to make any stupid mistakes. I didn’t do quite as good on the reading sections, I think I had one less point than possible. And on writing, I was about half a dozen points short of the maximum possible. Not that I care, as long as I passed, I don’t much care if I’d only gotten one point more than necessary to pass.
Well, anyway, I need to go try and get some school work done, so that I can manage to either finish up with school this coming week, or the week after, ‘cept for perhaps vocabulary, that I haven’t worked on very much at all, but it’s simple, so it shouldn’t take too long ‘cept that the vocab book is so long. (I’m homeschooled. That’s why I don’t have an exact date of ending.) Oh, evildude, or whoever, that it was that said he/she felt homeschoolers tended to be dumber than normal, I think those scores should help prove to you somewhat that we aren’t all stupid. (Although I admit, those tests are simple enough I could’ve passed ’em in like fifth grade.)
I write long posts, don’t I?
Oh no! *hugs Michelle W.* (coincidentally, the girl at my school that was pied(see post 53) is also named Michelle W.) The poor liddle birdies…Oh well, I’m sure it wasn’t your fault. *gives her another hug* Here, have some virtual Choklit to. It’s good for everything. *sends Michelle Choklit*
62- Aww, I’m sorry. And juncos are so cute, also.. what kind do you have in Alaska? We have a martin colony in our backyard (my mom put up gourds), and it seems like every year something happens.. This year we were only at about half capacity because first we had trouble with house sparrows and then we had two different ratsnakes get into the gourds/house, even though we’ve got baffles up that no snake has ever gotten by before this season.. Fortunantly they were small so they only ate a few nests instead of wiping out the entire colony.. But still it was sad.
Thanks, Jadestone, Lizzie. That’s too bad, Lizzie. I’m sorry.
We had sparrows living in our house once. The built a nest in the vent for the fan in the downstairs bathroom. So, we were stuck with chirping little birds that chirped every timewe turned on the fan for at least a few weeks of the summer. It was kinda cool, though.
It always slips my mind, but I’ve been meaning to tell you that we have baby wrens in our mailbox. There are five of them, and they’re really cute! To ensure their continual health, we’ve been forced to keep our cat inside at all times, as she rather enjoys killing birds.
Oh, yeah, Lizzie, I’m not sure what kind of junco they are exactly. They’re kind of a light brownish with darker heads.
*two baby juncos* not *to baby juncos* in my post 62
but she’s a really nice cat besides. honestlly.
Awwww cute baby birds. A groundhog was trying to climb the fence around my garden this morning….it was a tad amusing. It is really humid today; I used a blow-dryer on my hair this morning, and it is now HUGE. Depressing, I know. But I have the house to myself tonight, so it’s all good.
I bet your cat’s not too thrilled about having to be kept inside, Em!
A robin built a nest under our back porch on a ladder that my dad had hanging there. There’s five eggs in it.
Today is not the day for baby birds. we just noticed that only one baby bird was alive. we saw one dead in the nest, and another dropped on the sidewalk. it was really sad. we’re not sure why they’re dying, we think maybe it’s the heat, or the sparrows. it’s about 90 here. michelle, my mom says that baby birds usually sleep at night, and don’t eat.
Sadly, I suspect that every day is a bad day for baby birds. I wonder how many of them actually make it to maturity. Shockingly few, probably.
i meant muser birds, i guess. oh, and this dog we’re walking got into a fight and has a horrible puncture wound on her cheek, and the people who she belongs to didn’t leave a phone number, so we can’t get permission for treatment.
We ahve 2 baby swans. There were 4 but 2 mysteriously dissapeared. But they’re really,really, cute. I think I am going to e-mail their picture to Robert. And Rosanne. To spread the fluffyness. And, everyone, the story The Ugly Duckling is wrong. Way wrong. It lies.
#62: thats too bad. wild birds are incredibly hard to take care of. when i lived in my old house, which is in a rural area, my brother and i used to find a lot of young abandoned birds, squirrels, + chipmunks. we found a nest of abandoned ground squirrels once, + wanted to rehabilitate them. both of my parents have studied wildlife biology, so they showed my brother and i how to take care of them. their food was very difficult to make, + they had to be fed every 15 minutes. unfortunately, the ground squirrels barely lasted 2 days. and now i have a lot of respect for animal rehabilitators – its a big job!
This is haliarious: Google “failure” then take a look at the first hit…
Whoa. Gwen, i totally thought you were older.
I’m sorry about the birds, Michelle. *sends virtual comfort food*
today we had our 8th grade promotion ceremony (promotion…it sounds like a job… our school is just wierd that way…)
anyways, it was also the last day of school, so we got our yearbooks and spent the rest of the day signing them… i go to a seven thru twelve school so i’m not going anywhere new next year…
That is OLD news.
78- How many times has that been mentioned on this blog? Quite a few, methinks…
FOUR MORE DAYS OF SKOOL!! I’m SO happie. I have Monday, which is the last regular day of skool, and Tuesday, which is Clean-up day, and Wednesday, which is PLAY DAY!!! and Thursday, which is only half an hour long!!! Me is baby. Only going into 5th grade. WAAAAAH!!
My friend may be lurking!!
izzyjack, U out there?
73- there is a nest of baby birds by my bus stop, and they seem fine. While I was walking to the sports park, though, there was a horribly disgusting dead bird on the side walk that was squashed by everybuddy walking on it. Eeew. Well, I’m off to see the new Zack and Cody episode. I’m on central time.
I live in the wilds of suburbia, and my family and I used to have these lights on our doorstep. Well one day, a couple of sparrows decided to make a nest in one of the prisms (they were pretty big. They were like, torch-size). They would come back every year, and we would all be really careful not to turn the light on, because we would fry the nest. You can guess what happened next. My dad turned on the light (forgetfully) one night, and the nest caught on fire. We had to get help from our neighbors to put it out. Thankfully, there were no birds in it at the time.
Oh, also, Google “idiot” and check out the second hit.
WE LOVE W. BUSH!
Wow, Kiki. I thought I was the youngest person on the blog.
I think I should be flattered that you thought I was older, Cotton. I think .
Andy’s cousin works at google. He got a shirt and wore it to skool. I laughed and called him “Google TM” for the rest of the day. And stole his calculator of course.
i’m so mean to him
lol. Cue maniacal laughter.
DUUUUDE! I totally won’t be a freshie as of technically friday, but all the seniors are leaving tomorrow, which makes us part-not-freshie (not exactly part-sophomore, per se, but part-not-freshie, which is good enuff.
)
Oh yeah and at relay for life sarah hecht and courtney are gonna dress danny in drag and have him sing. I’m not going, but i might stop by and see him. I heard his brother did that too and made a very pretty girl. So most of lunch today was spent thinking about clothes for him. Several suggested miniskirt, which really frightens me, but i think he’ll probably end up with a dress of some sort.
We had some guy come today-a [Snip -Admin] (That was Ebeth being weird btw, not the GAPA) alumnus-who went to India for a year and came back to tell us about it and suchlike. Twas very cool. A lot of it was about perspective and suchlike. Like he mentioned how he hates bottled water now because over there the water’s really bad and when he came back the tap water tasted so good to him he didn’t understand why people would pay so much money to get water that was just a little better. Also he told a shortened version of the prodigal son story, and asked why he had no food after he had partied and suchlike. We all said because he wasted his money, and he said that’s what all the americans he’s asked said, but the Russians he asked said because there was a famine, and the Africans he asked said it was because nobody gave him food. I thought that was interesting.
Speaking of Snip alumni (from now on my skool is called Snip, ok? It’s much easier that way) lamuth read us an interesting column about it by a guy who grew up here and moved to chicago (whose name i won’t mention because then it would be ridiculously easy to stalk me. You guys have to do better than that. Come on.) but anyway, he was talking about how he always hated it and wanted to get to the real world and then he got there and remembered fun times growing up or something. But anyway, it was pretty good. It started out as ideas for a speech he was going to make at graduation but didn’t, which is why she read it. Anyhoo, twas pretty kewl.
Why am i suddenly so talkative? Earlier i was like DEAD! Dead i say, dead. Must be that my trusty shuffle’s charged again. Squee! Juliet/the dice was loaded from the start/And i bet/And you exploded into my heart/And i forget/I fooorget/the movie song/When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong? Juliiiieeeeet…
Fun fun.
I’m going through the whole thing in order again. This i can do because i only have about 200 songs. Good number i think. You can flip through it pretty easily and find stuff you want, and it’s limited enough that you don’t end up skipping every other song that comes up on shuffle. It’s just your favs. Anyway. Like i said, good number.
So now i’m on dire straits, as you froods can see. Then on to the doors, elton john, elvis, the four tops, you get the idea. All the way to the who. Yes, sadly i don’t have anything past W. Pitiful, isn’t it? I need to find some good Zs or something. I think i have every letter of the alphabet besides…wait…G, I, N, O, P, Q…ok, ok, never mind. I am missing a lot. Mebbe that’ll be my new summer project-find good songs from bands for every letter of the alphabet.
I’ll have a fun summer. Go me! Mebbe if i get really bored i might follow HRH’s royal example and memorize We Didn’t Start The Fire. Yes, that is copying at its most blatant. I really don’t care, it presents and interesting challenge. Plus then i’ll have something to match harriet’s memorization of all of Paul Revere’s Ride. Although i do think i know more beatles songs than she does.
Yeah, if you check the post length…what can i say? Examms coming up. This is the Golden Age of procrastination, this time of year.
Nobody’s online and it’s making me extremely upset because they’re probably all off studying. And i’m totally not. Bad Ebeth. *slap* Plus then i have nobody to procrastinate with but the lovely MB. I love you people. You save me from complete and utter boredom. Hugs for all. Virtual hugs anyway. Real hugs are different stories. I’m not a huggy person.
Here comes johnny singin oldies, goldies
be-bop a lula baby what i say
here comes johnny singin i got a woman
down in the tunnels tryin to make it pay
he got the action, he got the motion
oh yeah, the boy can play
dedication, devotion
turnin all the night time into the day
Catchy, that one. Gets stuck in your head easily. Very good for singing spontaneously and annoying people.
My brother is apparently doing a project on the aztecs. Observe my amazing mad skillz. His history book is lying in front of me open to the aztec chapter, and there’s a new powerpoint that suddenly appeared, called “the aztecs”
Am i good? I’m good.
Bonus hpb points if you know the quote. Menny points, since it is admittedly a rather vague and obscure one. And is probably in more than just the movie i’m thinking of. But whatev.
Wow, i haven’t done a post this long in ages. In fact, i don’t know if this may be the longest post i’ve ever done. Mebbe i check that, just because i’m bored and suchlike. Hmm…
Well for now i will continue ranting and procrastinating.
79-*weird. Sorry, but that’s just been glaring at me this whole time and it was bugging me.
we got to install microwave ovens
custom kitchen deliveries
we gotta move these refridgerators
we gotta move these colour tvs…
Sorry for repeatedly and spontaneously bursting into song here. It’s been a while since i’ve listened to music whilst posting here.
Yeah i’m gonna go find somewhere else to procrastinate now. Eat your weetabix.
85- wow, me so young. I was 8 when I started reading muse. How old are you?
Zark! The herald angels sing…..
Wow, that is such a great H2G2 pun.
There are birds by my drainage pipe in a little hook. Their nest is humongous, like an avian McMansion. It totally looks like someone dumped a bucket of ramen noodles mixed in with shredded grass. There’s four juveniles and two parents, and they’re sparrows.
When I was six, we got a hawk caught in our chimney. Freak accident. It took the combined effort of my father, who used to volunteer at an avian rescue, and me with a hook, to get the bird out. It was completely covered in soot and trembling, and a wing was torn. So we cleaned it off and set its wing. Those things are SAVAGE. (Savage…savage…) I still have scars. But the bird flew out 3 months later. We found out later it was an endangered species. A type of condor, I think. I never really found out how it got into the chimney of that house.
89- I found chipmunks living in a pipe once…
Last week we were using the inflatable planetariums in science, and they had been sitting outside, and when they brought them in, a swallow flew out! It was flying around the skool for at least 2 days-i saw it on my way to the bathroom in latin 2 days after it came in. Haven’t seen it around anymore, it probably either died or the custodians shooed it out somehow.
Oh and once in latin one of the kids by the window-i think it might’ve been mark-was suddenly like “wow look at that!” in the middle of class (this is pautsch. Nobody cares if people talk during class, she never teaches us anything anyway. Seriously. Wanna know what we learned thursday? How to swear in german. Which was actually more interesting than most of her random off-topic side conversations.) Anyway, we all get up and go to the window, happy to escape the boredom, and there’s a hawk there, standing over a dead pigeon! Mark said he saw it come down and kill it. After a few seconds of standing there, it picked up the pigeon and flew off.
Those’re my bird stories. Never had a nest near my house. Or at least, not that i remember. We’ve had menny in the big tree in the backyard though. Or rather, the big tree in what used to be our backyard. But whatev.
I am going to sound like a horrible bitter person when I say this, but sometimes I find ecology to be a little humourous. I find it funny when other animals are hunting and whether they succeed or fail, it’s still a hoot.
Birds eating other birds is entertaining to me becaue when they do kill their prey, they just carry it into the air.
The greatest things you have to watch are insects. I think you would just crack up if you saw two caterpillars trying to eat each other!
#26:
What’s the Lumberjack song?
92- I once saw a praying mantis eating a grasshopper…
93- A Monty Phtyon Sketch….Googling it should work…
93-*gasp* *dies of shock*
It’s a song by monty python. Hilarious. Go. Now. Listen. *points imperiously*
Hey GAPA, does my #87 win longest post award? I’m interested…
my little sister got 2 goldfish today… its a nightmare. I just seem to know that those wont last very long…
I want a plant as a pet. there much easier to take care of. or maybe a sort of terrarium, altho that could possibly be more care-intensive. ” id keep the plant in my room, and id water it, and give it fertilizer, and when its warm out ill put it out side and, and, … ” thuis is my i want a plant speech. thingy. or something
In my old house, we had a starling nest above our hammock. Those starlings were the noisiest things in the world. A flock of them is even worse than the same amount of eighth grade girls. The starlings had two starlingettes, and we could sometimes see them if we climbed up a neighboring tree. One unfortunate morning, we went out to play on the hammock and found a baby starling stretched out dead beneath the tree. Twas a sad moment. We gave it a decent burial.
97- Post it under the morpo thread, it’s plants this topic(that sentince made no sence…)
Anyone’s schools use a program called english speed?
im not allowed to hg2g until im MARRIED, so will you all please give me a summary? since it appears that im doomed never to read thi series, because of: flooziness. “oh, this is an adult series, not kids one” “it might be all right for other teenafgers, but not you” as soon as im legally an adult… or when i go to college and mom doesnt really know what im reading…
haha some good friends of mine have this tree with these twisted holes in the roots and whenever they find a bird or animal they put it in the hole and dance aroud with a special circlle made of bark.
Michelle W. OMG! i totally want to find out why you are!! you must live somewhere near me because the fire danger in _____ is HIGH also, but it rained a bit so it helped. what do you think of that jet the got from canada to control things if there is a (big) fire? there was a HUge fire at MY HOUSE once. i was really little though…
kiki- 5 th grade! you are really mature for your age.
I have no idea what that is Bev. i seem to have heard of it before but, no…
When I was in Sacramento at the Governor’s Masion and the Capitol i got out of an elevator from a parking garage and there was a dead bird just sitting there in front of it. It was really gross, especially becos it was next to this outdoor restaraunt. That’s my gross bird story.
Also we have an umbrella over our patio table that we don’t use very much, so it stays closed most of the time. One day I went out there and saw that there was this yellow stuff on the pole. I opened the umbrella and saw this nest around the pole, on the things that the umbrella is attached to. I looked in and there were these egg shells in the nest. Apparently the nest had been there and some unsuspecting, uncaring, un-observing person had closed the umbrella, crushing the eggs. It was sad. I sniffled.
86: yeah, i thought you were an 8th or ninth grader (i tend to classify people more by grade than by age), because you seemed pretty mature. Which i reckon is a good thing
Very. But the time you are our age you will be like an adult. But not a bad adult! One like Rosanne or Robert. Not to embarrass you.
may i post my essay?
here it is.
hope ya like it!!
“Its dawn. The ship should be coming any time†I remember telling myself, shivering in the chill and salty air of Alexandria’s eastern harbor. Panic had threatened to overcome me at any time then, and it was all I could do to uphold a head calm enough to think. I ran through a frantic mental checklist of all the things I would need. Some things I did not have and would have to scrounge or do without. I owed even getting this far to Ma’at-kheruh, a noble girl about 5 years older that myself. I was but a servant girl but she had pitied me. She had provided money and provisions and arranged to have the main gate left open for me to sneak out of. It was also Ma’at-kheruh that had recommended I stow away on a ship and sail far, far away. We both know that I could not stay and live. The Egyptians were bloody in their punishments. “And when i got to Athens… I will find a way to live.†I told myself firmly “I could not lean off of Ma’at-kheru’s generosity any longer that to get me to Greece.†I planned to hide away on a merchant ship or bribe a sailor with the silver that Ma’at-kheruh had given me to hide me away long enough to get to anywhere that the arm of the noble houses of Egypt did not extend, Greece was the easiest sanctuary for me. From the shores of Greece I planned to make my way to the city of the goddess Athena and find work as… anything… I needed to work to live.
I slipped my hand into the pack feeling for that ever cursed-ever beloved opal that had caused this quagmire. . I had worn it about my neck until everything changed. I treasured the opal because it had been my mother and my grandmother before her owned it but it attracted unwelcome attention. One day, it caught the attention of the high priest.
The high priest of my lord master Horus was the wrong person to scare. The high priest believed that the swift, majestic looking rivers of color in my sole heirloom were bad luck and dishonor to the gods. When I was first brought in front of him I almost laughed at his mindless superstition. I tried to appeal to Lord Horus “The opal had always brought fair fortune to me!†The weasel-like priest has seemed to expect this “Yes,†he sneered “opals bring good luck to those born under the sign of the opal; it brings bad luck and bereavement to all but those few! She is born under the opal! It is bringing bad luck to this noble house!†He rasped to Lord Horus who was sitting beside him, “the wench knows that! Everyone does!†If he read it in those ancient, dusty scrolls in the library he was stubborn to it being absolutely true. I had seen the scroll he was using against me. I must admit that it stated the same as the Priest. My frantic, panicked mindset returned; I thought of the drastic, desperate choice was making. Gods help me. I had done nothing wrong. I forced myself to come out of my reveries. The ship was coming.
I had not comprehended the vastness of the sea until I was actually upon it. It seemed to stretch on forever. I had seen it from the shore, vast and imposing but it was a different thing entirely to be sitting in a tiny hidden store room with water on all sides of me. I had got on the ship with minimum difficulty, bribing the one, grimy sailor that had spotted me. I had spent most of the first few weeks planning my new life in Athens and getting used to the regular shift of the waves beneath the hull. Eventually any interest of planning my new life as well as brushing up on my Greek was beginning to fade. I thought I might scream, and thus reveal that the merchant ship had a stowaway, if I had to sit cramped in an awkward sitting position for another few hours on end.
I eventually resolved to sneak up on deck and gasp the first breath of fresh air I had had in… however long I had been on the ship. I had not kept track. I waited until midnight. When i estimated it to be midnight I rose from the squashed position and felt for the weathered wood of the storeroom door. The latch opened at my touch and swung ajar without the faintest creak. I crept up a rusty iron ladder and on to the deck. The air was cool and clear with the distinctive tang of salt. A sickle of a moon hung high in the indigo sky. The air seemed to tingle with some unseen electricity. The cool, damp air felt wonderful on my skin and in my lungs as I gulped the sweet tasting air after the musty rat-smelling air of the storeroom. Several of the men were on deck, but on the opposite side from me, drinking, singing sea shanties and talking in loud brawling voices. They were sailors, with cloths stiff with salt and grime, with untrimmed hair tried carelessly back or oily locks hanging lose. I crept around some barrels, getting all the way out of their view. I scampered to the side of the ship after making sure that a large load of cargo on deck hid me completely, and looked over the edge. Aquamarine waters stretched far, with an occasional white crested wave, but what was that? A faint purple smudge was sitting on the horizon. Land!
With a shock I felt the salty water. I was going under… Dimly I realized my mistake. In my eagerness to see my goal I had fallen. I snapped out of my haze of mind. I was only a few feet under. I wanted to live. I kicked furiously and did my best attempt at swimming. My head popped up. The ship! It was close now; I could feel its wake come at me. Fortunately it was going slow; slow enough for me to spot a rusty wood and iron ladder on the side of the hull. I floundered towards it and grasped its coarsely made rung. The land was close now; torches were able to be seen on the Athens wharf. I remained on that ladder for what seemed like years but the land was close now, closer, closer… I decided I needed to jump off and swim to shore or be smashed into the dock. I jumped into the cool water and swam the remaining ten feet to shore. I lay on the bank, overwhelmed and exhausted. I had made it, away from my old life, away from the high priest. I had an opal and a pocket of coins, having left the rest of my supplies on the ship. It would be a challenge, but I could make a new life here, a good life. I had my opal for luck.
Nice Essay!
*coughyouonlyreadthebeginningcough*
87-Ah. Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits-one of my personal favorites. Obviously! You may go ahead and memorize that notable song-I recommend your ‘REPEAT’ button and a copy of the lyrics.
101-No offense, but I don’t understand why you can’t read it. There’s nothing bad in it whatsoever! All right, I will write my next post and it will be a summary of H2G2, the ultimate farce. Just think Hunter S. Thompson and Robert Heinlein have a love child, who grows up under the guidance of John Cleese and H.G. Wells, then goes to school with Nigel Molesworth. Then he finds the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, writes a book about it, and calls it “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” It is loved and adored by every sapient being with a brain in his or her heads.
107-How can you be ‘born under the opal’? Isn’t that a gyneological impossibility? Huh?
Kiki, you’re in 5th grade? Zarquon. Incidentally, the “herald angels sing” pun is used in Mostly Harmless by none other than Old Thrashbarg. “Do not challenge the ineffable will of Bob!”
“What does ineffable mean?”
“Read a bloody dictionary!” (he says, echoing something a certain life form said to Hactar many years ago when that worthy computer asked what they meant by “ultimate”)
Yes, sadly I am younger than most average musers. If my effort to introduce my best friends to Muse would have worked, then there would be lots of 5th grade musers here. Actually, last year I gave everybody I knew a muse subscription for their birthday. As far as I know, none of them renewed it, exept maybe Izzy. See post 36 on the Welcome, Newcomers thread.
“Sadly”? There’s nothing sad about being wise beyond your years. It’s just too bad your classmates haven’t seen the light yet.
I think you have to pick your targets carefully, to make sure they’re ready for Muse. One suggested approach is on April Foolery, Part 4.
H2G2 begins with Arthur Dent lying in front of his house and a few bulldozers. Ford Prefect saves him from the destruction of the earth by the Vogons (to make way for a hyperspace bypass). They hitch a ride on the Vogon ship. There, Ford Prefect introduces the Guide to Arthur Dent. Ford is a researcher for the Guide and knows a lot about it. The captain finds them, reads them some awful poetry, and throws them out of the airlock. They get picked up by the Heart of Gold, stolen by two-headed, three-armed Galactic President Zaphod Beeblebrox and his earthling girlfriend Trillian (Tricia MacMillan). Dent once tried to pick up Trillian at an Islington party six months ago, but she went off with Beeblebrox because he said he was from a different planet. But it did turn out to be true. Prefect and Beeblebrox are good friends; they’re from the same planet, Betelgeuse 6.
Someone pick up from there-tengo que irme.
My parents have only ever refused to let me read one book in my entire reading history (which is quite a long time). The Great Gatsby. When i was like 7. They said no to that. But i don’t even have to ask them. Occaisionally they ask what i’m reading-“Oh, you’re reading h2g2? Doesn’t that have some adult content? Oh well, hope you like it.”
Ah, i love my life.
I’ve got a bone to pick here. It’s something that’s been bothering me for a little while. Ever heard the phrase “Too much of a good thing is an awesome thing. But too much of an awesome thing is…umm…really, really dumb and bad.” (Strong Bad.) Well, believe it or not, but the same applies to the Gods of Comedy. That’s right; I’m talking about Monty Python. If people always keep on quoting them over and over, eventually their material will be dead because everybody’s heard it before. They are, possibly, the greatest comic minds of last century and this as well (I’m counting the 1900’s as a century, and 2000 as the beginning of another one), but repeating their stuff without mercy is going to murder it. Holy Grail’s not their only work, you know. They had a whole TV show. Monty Python’s Flying Circus. And what about their films “The Meaning of Life,” and “The Life of Brian,” which, incidentally, I would not recommend for people below the age of 16. And Life of Brian is not recommended for religious fanatics. I don’t think there are any on here, but I’m not going to take the chance of having a fundamentalist see it and then be outraged at me and never speak to me again.
I leave this post with these words: Monty Python is like a fine meal: It’s delicious if you have it once in a while, but if it is consumed over and over, it shall become ordinary and even boring.
Who’s overquoting? I haven’t seen this…a few rounds of the lumberjack song, but that’s about it recently. I think.
That wasn’t directed at anyone in particular. It’s just that recently I’ve noticed a whole lot of people, including the people on the HP forum, killing the material.
96- maybe, although my post 106 on “farewell MG” is probably about the same length..
H2G2? adult content? It doesn’t have it. not much anyways. I’m not sure what is considered adult by you but according to me it doesn’t have much at all.
116- Yeah, and some people here don’t know it…
Bird, most people here are very mature for their ages. Is Gwen the youngest one here, then?…hmm…the list of Birthdays is rather short….
I’m being hug-attacked…*dies*
Hey, has anyone here ever read The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry? It’s really very goode. Yes, it’s technically a children’s book…
oooh firefox! that is so cool! i didn’t even know this computer had firefox!
does anyone know why microsoft word would spontaniously stop giving you the format selection form and instead give you this random white page?
i read it!
and it’s hg2g(the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy) not h2g2…? hitchhikeres to guide to?
Firefox…yeah, I recently installed it on my computer. I like it muchly. Especially because it imported all of my bookmarks!!!!
122- Because microsoft word is evil? and wants to take over the world?
121-That book is amazing! Me loves.
122-Arrgh. I get that sometimes. I think you have to go to the format bar at the top or something and hit full page or something like that. I don’t remember.
USECGO, I totally agree. I didn’t know there were any fellow homestarians here. I apologize for my recent absence. Since this is the end of the school year, there been sort of a crunch to finish up everything. So, i’ve had double doses of history and science. However, i just finished my last science test and i’m on the last couple of presidents in history (We just finished Carter). School will unofficial end on Teusday. I can taste freedom!! Em, I have no idea why that would be, but sometimes when i’m using Word, it will, for no reason, start earasing a space everytime I type in a character or press the space bar. So if I have to go back and fix something it starts eating all in it’s path. Gaa!
119-Not the first one, but some of the later ones have a bit i think. I don’t remember much actually, but i know some people object to it, so i’m guessing there’s something there. Unless they’re just crazy. Which is quite possible.
110. i ment a birthstone! ya know… like november is topaz and opal is…..idon’tknowbutwhatever.
120. i know, musers tend to be mature but when i think about what i was like when i was in 5th grade… i went throught his bad phaze in 4th and 5th grade and i was totally foolish and stuupid and ditzy. then i snapped out of it and was kinda mess for 6th grade but by 7th grade i discovered who i really was and not just who i wanted to be. in 6th grade i started reading muse and started accually THINKING and being myself.
123-2 h’s, 2 g’s. Hitch hiker’s (the two h) Guide to the (nobody cares about to and the) Galaxy. Like a chemical equation or summat. H2G2.
125- Hey, we wanna take over the world and we’re not totally evil.

The only potentially objectionable scene I can remember occurs between Arthur and Fenchurch in book four (So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish).
Oh yeah, i remember that. But that can’t be all, can it? Well mebbe. Or mebbe there are just loads of subtle references that went completely over my head. That’s quite possible. I’m an innocent being, for all the seniors’ *cough* educational conversations, which become about 10 decibels louder whenever a freshie walks by.
Wow. That is a lot of people. Hey, there’s me! Right between TOPFOT and the PB&J. Rather prestigious placement i think. *is proud* lol
Does anybody know why a comp would suddenly and spontaneously stop reading an ipod? As in, i plug it in and it doesn’t show up anywhere. Obviously, as there’s nowhere to hit eject from, i don’t eject it, just pull it out. Ready for the warning message, i sit and wait. No warning message comes. I try repeatedly, cleaning it out, switching USB ports, even going upstairs to get my lovely little thingamajiggerwhatsit and try that. Nuttin. I try mom’s, and it works fine. I restart the comp-It doesn’t restart. I shut it down and turn it back on, try again. Nothing. Try mom’s again. Nothing.
Anybody have any ideas? It charges fine, and still plays right. I just can’t update my songs and suchlike at all.
My b-day is October 1st, 1995. The color is bright purple.
#132: me wants to see that also
guess what ppl? i got
preached attoday. i was helping this customer (i was @ work), & he randomly goes into this discourse about how good God is. i didnt know what to do, so i was just like “have a nice day!” and he just stares even harder at my pentagram necklace & is like “ God bless you. ”i realize that it could have been a lot worse – the guy could have crossed his fingers and declared me the antichrist or something – but little things like these relly annoy me. many ppl are led to believe that any sort of pentagram is a symbol of satanism…when the star has 2 points pointing upward, it is satanic. when it has only one point pointing upward (the type i have), it is wiccan.
on that topic, be sure to stay away from most public places on tuesday (6/6/06), b/c there may very well be a lot of freaks running around that day. + esp. if your wiccan / new age, etc b/c satanics hate other pagans.
135 go to the genius bar at the apple store
134- my mom doesnt even approve of just kissing or dating. like it will erode my morals or something. i dont think they are any worse than other stuff i read but… like for exmple mom probably wouldnt have let me read the belgariad if she had read it first.
Ebeth-(135) Are you using a Mac or PC?
I wrote a hateful review of Highlgihts at Amazon. I also had to boost National Wildlife as well as Muse because, well, people would suspect something.
bleah. I’m so bored. I didn’t have any caffeine today. I feel like going to sleep, but it’s 8:00 on a saturday. sfkjvbhlsckbatinwjkkkki cxknmbb h n9njjjjjjjjjjjji33333vg
That was my head on the keyboard.
Mac, kiki. *eats apple* lol
138-i probably will eventually, but it’s at easton so i probably won’t get there until after examms, which is really when i wanted all the songs. Ah well…that’s life.
Ebeth-(135) Make sure the ports are clear of dust, aren’t physically damaged, and you’re ipod works on a friend’s computer. If all this is a check, then you may have to disconnect or rename any or all of you’re drives. If you have already renamed then, try to name them the original name. If you have any network drives, disconnect them and/or power them down. If you haven’t renamed any of you’re physical drives, rename them something random (I’m sure that you can come up with this part). You’re USB cable might be damaged, or the port into you’re ipod could be damaged. I don’t have any experience with ipods, but that is standard procedure for any device, USB compatible or not, including jump drives (flash drives, whatever). If this doesn’t work, go to the Geek Squad at the nearest Staples.
Is it Staples, or is it Best Buy?
My date or birth is August 16, 1992. My favorite color is green. Anyone who doesn’t have green clothes, blue is cool too.
Hey, I need advice, before tomorrow (Sunday) at about three.
Okay, the deal is that I’m going to my first sleepaway camp starting tomorrow (checkin is at 6pm), and I’m kind of nervous. For one thing, roommates aren’t assigned and I don’t know any of the other people going, and for another, I’m kind of worried about homesickness/meeting new people (what to say, etc), the whole “new camp” stuff. Any words of wisdom? And should I ask this kid I know to ask another girl that he’s friends with if we can room together?
emo-
june 6th? what is happening that day? if someone will inform me? sorry… AK is to small to have any interesting or different religons. omg.. was it you who said to meditate if you are haveing a bad day? omg… i really need to try something to get my life together other that icecream and blasted music. sorry… i complain to much. You can ignore it. Most people just tune me out. *sniff*
Pixars 20th anniverary was yesterday. Yay!
Lets al wish them a happy birthday, and may there be many great, pop-culture refrnece free movies to come!
144-I tried both the ports on my comp and they both worked w/my mom’s ipod. I tried cleaning off the thingy but it didn’t do anything. I’m kinda worried something might be wrong on the inside of it. Like the little cords are loose or whatev. Idk…
146-Be yourself and if everybody hates it, screw them, you’ll be back home soon. I know that probably doesn’t seem like the most helpful thing to say, but it actually is remarkably comforting knowing that you’ll probably never see these people again (And yes, it is sad after camp, but going in it’s very helpful) You can be as crazy as you want.
And peoples are nice. There’ll always be somebody. Besides, most of them are just as scared about that as you.
147-I think the number 6 is connected to Satan somehow..in any case josh keeps telling us the world will end on 6/6/66. Of course, it didn’t in 1966…or 1866…or 1766…or 1666…i see no reason why it should in 2066. Oh well. That’s the thinking anyway.
amen.
hey anyone know much about midsummer’s nights dream? i just got cast as puck and i just want to know if its a cool play. my friend got cast as helena and she also wants to know if she has to kiss anyone
133-What the zark? DUSTY PINK? And what does that look like when you surprise it in the shower? No, don’t tell me, I’ll have nightmares. Put me down for orange, Mr. Coontz. Dusty pink! What were you ingesting? Dishwashing detergent?
I am finishing up my reading of all the Bradbury novels. I find them sort of boring, and the characters aren’t quite as vivid as Heinlein’s or Asimov’s or anyone else’s. I haven’t had to ask my parents for permission to read anything. Ever. They let me read “Lolita” by Vladmir Nabokov and check out “Don’t Die Until You’re Dead” the unexpurgated version from Yevgeny [he has a Russian last name starting with y that I do not know], which are both fabulous books but it sounds like FantasyFan’s mater would
probably stick her foot in a bacon slicer before letting FF read them. Pity-once you get older, you have a lot of reading to do. In the meantime, I recommend Tom Holt-his books are hilarious and clean. Except for cloning, which really isn’t too adult.
Today is the anniversary of the Tianamen Square massacre. Pity.
Incidentally, if you accuse me of wearing dusty pink again, I will pie you and stick your foot in a bacon slicer. Dusty pink? Don’t make me vomit, Mr. Coontz-sama. I know you make some mistakes, but that is just intolerable.
151-It’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream, one of Shakespeare’s best-loved works. Read it: it’s short and completely understandable. English is your first language, right? You’re a Muser; you’ll have no problem.
Sorry, DW/QJ. On the May “Happy Birthday” Thread you said “I have dusty pink,” which I interpreted to mean that you shared Queen Mae’s fondness for the color. It seemed odd, but I figured it must be a royal thing. I’ll change it to orange.
Muslims don’t have much use for bacon slicers, so FantasyFan’s feet are safe.
can there be a thread for chopsticks?
147- “666” is the “home of the beast”. It doesn’t make very much sense to me, but maybe it would if I’d had someone actually explain what that meant..
137- It was pretty goode. It seemed a bit short, though. I don’t want to spoil it, so I won’t say anything else about it…
147- It’s 6/6/06. A number which, in my opinion, people are making waaay too big a deal over. Especially that movie….
Ebeth- Did any other windows appear asking you to update iTunes or your iPod? They sometimes do, but behind the other windows. And they dissappear when you unplug your iPod and close out of iTunes. Because if they appear, you can just close out of them and everything will work. At least, that’s what happens to my iPod…
As usual, Wikipedia will tell you more than you want to know:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast
For centuries, people have been coming up with clever ways to make their enemies’ names add up to 666. Why, even my three names–Robert Joseph Coontz–have six digits apiece. You may fear me if you want to.
AAAAAAAAAAAH!! DEVIL ADMINISTRATOR!!!
First Name: 7 letters
Middle Name: 7 letters
Last Name: 9 letters
Hehehe. I’m NOT evil.
157-Nothing. It was like it didn’t exist.
You beast GAPA!
lol jk
# 26 – What is the LUmberjack Song?
First name- 5 letters
second name- 7 letters
last name- 6 letters
I guess i’m only sightly evil-cackles loudly-My best friend must be more evil that me! 6-6-5
Is there any reason why the scroll wheel on the mouse suddenly has a HORRIBLE reaction time? Like forever in seconds?
wow, I was away for 2 days and the thread gets 140 new posts
52- the movie was hoodwinked (with little red riding hood)
sorry if someone already said that, but I’m far too lazy to read all of these posts
154-It’s all right, Mr. Coontz. I’ve calmed down now. Sorry if I’ve insulted you, FF. I tend not even to think threats like that through. You may appropriate a blender if you desire. Or a knife would be fine, too.
His last name is Yevtushenko. Yevgeny Yevtushenko, who wrote Don’t Die Until You’re Dead, the powerful emotive story of Russians recovering from the Communist regime over their country. Bloody, good novel.
161-I would tell you the song, but it’s from Monty Python and the material, according to Mr. Grant O., weakens if referred to constantly. You may get a copy of the Zirkus Fliegender and watch it.

MUFFFFFFFFFFIIIIINNNNN!!!
115- THANK YOU CHAIRMAN. I certainly agree. Sometimes people treat The Holy Grail like it is MP’s only work, and quote it to death. If you ask me, the TV series contains their best work (and their worst, I guess). It’s a sad time when any person who’s seen half of Holy Grail can call themselves a MP fanatic. And what about all of Eric Idle’s songs? The Galaxy Song is one of pure genius!
Anyway….
135, Ebeth- you have a shuffle, right? I don’t know exactly waht to do for that problem, but google “iPod shuffle troubleshooting” and it’ll take you to a page that tells you exactly what to do.
123(dlod)- no, it’s H2G2. Thats the abbreviation Douglas Adams came up with, before the time of text-messaging, before “2” started to mean “to”. Here it means “times 2” as in, there are 2 h’s and 2 g’s. (Hitchiker’s guide to the galaxy)
146- don’t worry about it too much. Just try and make freinds with and get to know the other kids in your room. In my experience, as long as you are open and nice, people generally tend to get along.
A Midsummer’s Night Dream is a fun play (though some people actually hate it an consider is to be one of Shakespeare’s worst). It’s a comedy. Puck, I believe is servant to the Fairy Queen lady… but I could be wrong, last time I read/heard/saw the play was 2nd grade.
On the subject of age of MBers (from kind of a while back), if you think about it, there’s hardly any difference. 2 years or is actually hardly anything, it just seems like a lot when your our age because we’re all growing up so fast… but I consider all of us around the same age group, becuase we all tend to be more intellectually mature than kids our age. So no worries about seniority Gwen and kiki. We’re all the same age on the internet.
5 (or 9, depending), 3, 5. Not evil. Go me.
(165),
Puck is the servant of the Fairy King, Oberon. He’s a Kokopelli-like character–runs errands for his master and enjoys playing tricks on mortals. The best nonhuman role in the play. Congratulations!
I TiVo Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
I like “Twit of the Year”.
Don’t forget about the Idiot in Society, the Fish-Slapping Dance, the Elections, the Twit Olympics…..etcetcetc…
How ’bout Spam or The Spanish Inquisition? I’m aching to quote it, but I can’t.
Ok, major rant about MySpace coming up…
Because I hope I’m not the only one who laughs at them when I’m insanely bored…
FYI: I don’t have one.
Part One: Personality types. There are three.
1. The sad kid: those bubbly kids with neon and white coloured pages…you know them and they’re pretty happy…but they just have the saddest expressions in their pictures and their posts consist mainly of poems that want to be depressing but are just too pathetically written to move anyone….except for the other sad kids. Their pictures are usually B&W, and have tears, blood, and/or guns edited in. One out of every 1373687 sad kids is actually depressed.
2. The trendwhore: that kid whose MySpace changes completely at least once a month according to the newest MySpace trend. Probably rich; how else could they change their entire wardrobe that often? “Cool” bands are often in their Top8…
3. The girls who post about cheerleading, shopping, and have revealing pictures with more makeup than your average black metal band. Enough said.
Part Two: Comments.
This is a very short catergory.
1.The needy comment: “Hey, I’m _____ from _____! Comment back, huh?”
2. The pity comment: “Aww, you look so sad!” or “Aww, your poem made me cry.”
3. The chain comment (self -explanatory)
4. The textart comment (also self-explanatory)
5. The “OMG ____ CAMP!!! YAY!!!” comment.
6. The pasteins comment (contain videos, pictures, etc. Often pictures of people without MySpaces who probably don’t want to be seen online)
7. The olde friends comment (self-explanatory)
Part Three: This last part is merely a list of things about MySpace that annoy me.
1. Quiz paste-ins. They scream, “Look at me! I have something to prove to all you other pathetic losers! This quiz proves my _____ness!”
2. Paste-ins of bands, friends in stupid poses, celebrities [sp?], etc. Once againe, stop wasting your life.
3. When people ask you if you have a MySpace because they want to add you and act offended when you tell them that you don’t!!!!!
4. When your friends babble so much about their MySpaces that it prompts you to write a rant about them.
Conclusion: MYSPACE IS TAKING OVER THE MINDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE AND CHILD PREDATORS ALIKE!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for listening…erm, reading…
#155 i just heard the craziest thing today – theres supposed to be a shortage of chopsticks next year! i dont know any of the details, except that it has something to do w/ taxes. strange…
i am in an oriental mood today…i went to borders this afternoon & got another manga…and then i went home + tried making stir-fry. it was just a ton of veggies + some cashews, but it turned out ok.
i ♥ my new hat! yeah, i went to walmart today + got this rockin’ newsboy cap for $7.00 – havent taken it off since!
Aaand one more thing: I hate how you can’t tell the people apart after a while…!
172- that can’t be! i love chopsticks. what am i going to put in my hair if we run out of chopsticks?
that soumded really vain, but it’s true.
for some reason, there arent as many pervs in xanga as there are in myspace…
*takes bite out of seashell* wow, these are pretty good for being 6 months old! hehe…im eating choklit seashells…almost as good as choklit rocks – yes, they relly do make those
Actually, MySpace is a sandbox compared to LiveJournal, which is more complex, more adult, more literary, not as teenage, and contains things like Oscar Wilde discussion groups.
MP won’t weaken more than anything else would. You forget how many things have been commercialized-if you quote it over and over, the material becomes tired and it dies, exhausted. You bring it back to life 20 years or so later. It’s the way the world works. It was either that or have MP fade into meaningless obscurity-TANSTAAFL, remember?
146-No worries over camp. All camps are fabulous. Just have the most fun you can, and if it’s bad, do a Deadpan Marathon for as long as you want.
#174: no, just the real chopsticks that are in restaurants
172- Yeah, I heard about that, too!
I want a newsboy cap. My friend has a pink plaid one, and even though I don’t especially like pink, it is a hat that pwns.
Might as well do this now…otherwise I’ll never have the courage…well, here goes…
Quintessentia = Mer. I adopted this alter ego so my brother, who recently came on the MuseBlog, wouldn’t recognize my comments as mine. Shortly after, I realized that he can see “Quintessentia” whenever he leaves a comment. Yeah, I tihnk things through sometimes, but not always all the way. I like the name Quintessentia. I wish it was my name. I’d be Tess for short.
8-4-6. One-third evil. Well, actually, if you take two from eight and add them to four, then they’re all sixes. Scary, huh? I know a guy whose birthday is June sixth, and everyone’s joking about him being the devil. He’s very popular and very violent, so it could be possible that he’s some kind of lesser demon.
My birthday is August 31st, 1992, like you have it on the list, and the color is golden. Not gold, golden.
133- Me is first!
yay! Happyhappyhapppyhappyhappyhappy me!
(please excuse this…she just had the French Silk(not silt) pie she’s been awaiting or so long…I think it’s time for the cage, Jade….Ouch! Put that down! No! Give me the keyboard back or I’ll-
Please Don’t Eat My Socks. Thank You. -The Managment.
hm… i have never been on MySpace, my dad won’t let me.
about camp— be yourself and if that does not work out well remember, its only for a while!
yay! is skipper nancy back? or just posting in Oregon?
so… 6.6.06… tuesday… *bleep* (bleeps out swearword) there are TONS of MEGA religious people in my school. DARN! this is gunna be CWAZY! (excuse the ‘cwazy’ i could not help it!)
(180),
So, are you Tess now, or are you reverting to Mer?
It’s just the date everyody; stop freaking out. Sweet Melpomene, i agree. I really don’t see what the attraction to Myspace is. Why would you want your pictures and stuff spewed all over the internet? Another thing I don’t understand: what is so $*&! great about ipods? I prefer regular ol’ CDs myself. So…how are casset tapes an improvment from record albums anyway? With tapes, you have to rewind them, and it’s harder to find the song you want.
172 (emogrl)- I may love newsboy caps, but Wal-Mart gives me cycloids. Or was it planetoids? No… ah yes! Hemhorroids! (Did I spell that right?)
It’s good that I’ve stocked up on chopsticks, then. (We Chinese people call them kuai zi.) I’ll be happy to be the lovely Kuai Zi Angel who distributes chopsticks to poor souls in need next year. Never fear! Truth marches on, and all that yummy shininess!
Check out this froody news story that was in my paper the other day! Bohold the Toynbee Tiles! In the downtown area of of my city and, appearently, cities all over the world, there are small tiles embeded in the street which read, “TOYNBEE IDEA IN MOViE ‘2001 RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER,” and similar. I’d seen the tiles before, but I couldn’t read them becuause I was crossing the street and my mom was behind me yelling “hurry up there’s a semi coming!”. However, nodody really knows where they come from or who put them there. Some think that historian Arnold Toynbee had discovered a way to somehow bring dead earthlings back to life on Jupiter. This one dude is sure he knows the guy (or girl) behind them and has had a one-way communication with the suspect. Said dude plans to release a documentary on the subject in ’07. I can’t wait. “I think it’s a guerilla art project, essentially,” says a man with a strangely shaped blue beard on a newscast.”I think somebody is just going out and being weird.” If you ask me, this is a job for Muse.
133-how do u know my birthday???????????
well, anyhoo its 1993
165- aha!
yo comprendo!
Hi!! I just signed up for Nationstates!! My country is Kattyland, and I joined Land of Muses.
Back to 666 (comment 158 and earlier),
I’ve found another good website devoted to the number, by a Jesuit priest with a sense of humor:
http://catholic-resources.org/Bible/666.htm
190: haha, that’s funny
wal-mart? *shudders*
190, that was kinda amusing. A bit long though.
I think I sort of started a topic about baby birds. But the topic seems to have died out already.
92, MDDW, you have a rather morbid sense of humour…
Bird, so you live in AK(Alaska, not Arkansas, all you non Alaskan musebloggers) too? Cool.
So, to get a rather general idea of where you live, general enough I think that GAPA won’t care…
Lessee, do you live close enough to the AK State Fair Grounds that you could reasonably have your parents drive you to them so that you’re there when it opens and leave right after the fireworks on a fireworks night and get home at a relatively reasonable hour?
I suppose in my opinion relatively reasonable is 2 hundredths of a second to 2 hours away from the fairgrounds. Which, for your information GAPA, includes a very large area, and would include the largest city in AK, Anchorage.
I live within that two hour travelling time radius of the fairgrounds. What about you?
(GAPA, that radius could include Anchorage, Eagle River, Willow, Big Lake, Houston, Sutton, Talkeetna, Palmer, Wasilla, Chugiak (or is it Chugiach? or is it spelled totally different? I forget…), and probably a whole bunch of other places that I can’t think of right off the top of my head. In fact, all the places I named are actually probably within a one hour radius of the fairgrounds…Oh well.)
Oh, one other thing, GAPA. No matter how late you stayed up, the blog would shut down before dark here in Alaska. After all, there’s really not anything that could really be considered ‘dark’, and what there is, is rapidly diminishing as we approach the longest day of the year.
It’s light when I get up (8 to 10) and duskyish when I got to bed (12). Eek, I can’t wait till I’m done with school! Then I can sleep till 11 or 12…
190- That was pretty funny. So were the links…
The Blog is shutting down? As in, dying, or as in, being GAPA-less for a while? Am I being blonde here?
Nil desperandum! (That’s Latin for “never despair.”) I just said that the blog is likely to be GAPA-less after 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time for the next week or so, because Rosanne will be on vacation.
Oh okay! Sorry, exam stress. I’m freaking about, um, everything. Ok all better. *breathes slowly*
hmm… I have no myspace. Go me!
*sigh* My mother is being simply horrid. For some idiotic reason, she gets mad at me for not listening to her when I’m on the computer…hmm…maybe it has something to do with the music coming from my OVERSIZED headphones? Surely not! She’s such a control-freak. Like, she orders other people around when she has nothing to do, and gets offended if they’re doing something else. Which is why I usually sneak on my computer. *sighs againe* And, she’s hyper-critical yet still gets defensive if you tell her so. *mutters* Humans…
YAY! My flag for NationStates is kokopelli! I couldn’t find “Land of Muse” though.
My country is “Kroatotia”
robert, i hope you won’t be going to bed THAT early. the only time you can get some peace around here is at about 12:30.
Sorry, I’ve been ranting a lot lately, haven’t I? *decides to lurk for a while*
I’m listenning to MuggleCast, which rox.
200- I telegramed you, and told you the pass for Land of Muse.
my mother has electronic phobia. she wont go on the computer (except to check her e-mails, which are all business stuff… not chatting with friends) and she hates it when i’m on. SM, yeah i sneak on alot too. it’s the only way to actually do stuff, without her yelling at me to get off the computer after 10 minutes.
6/6/06 is just a day for crying out loud. its no different from any other possible day. (including friday the 13ths) . i dont believe in that stuff . im not generaly superstitious. (welll…)
204- Yeah, my mother is like that, too. She usually refuses to watch tv…and we don’t have any gaming consoles (other than PC…)
my mom LIVES on the computer..
meh im so superficial and self absorbed i havent been on here in like a week (even tho its my homepage) i havent posted enough in a long time
06/06/06 is tomarrow. its fun watching everyone run around screaming “we’re all gonna DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! AIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
This is crazy! (Not the 6/6/6, but come to think of it, that’s crazy, too.) I was just watching tv, and there was one of those dumb hourly local news updates, and it said it snowed in Fairbanks! (Second largest city in Alaska.) I’m not sure if it said this weekend or today, but that’s still crazy! I mean, it’s almost sixty degrees out at my house. Not that that’s like super hot, but it’s not cold enough to snow, and after my 45ish minute bike ride this morning, swimming in the lake by my house sounds wonderful! I got so hot.
Anyway, can you believe it was snowing in June? That’s crazy, even for Alaska. I’m just glad it wasn’t snowing in the part of Alaska I live in…That would suck.
#186: hehe. now that is strange…
my parents insist that i
should spend only 15 minutes a day using the comp. ha. they actually think im gonna listen to them!time to call the ghostbusters guys, cuz all hell is gonna break loose tomorrow! hehe, jk. wow, the ppl @ my skool will definitely be nuts over this – you shouldve seen what ppl did on april 20th! honestly.
#209: ha…i remember it snowing on the last day of skool about 3 yrs ago (sometime in early june). i bet MI literally does have the worst weather – it rained for 2 weeks straight in the middle of may!
Michelle W., it once snowed in June down here in New York State. Weather has been going crazy in the past few years. During Winter, we had spring weather, and during spring, fall weather, and during summer, winter weather. I blame emissions. CO2 is buildingup in the atomosphere, thus creating Global Warming. But, thats just my opinion. What does everyone else here think?
TSYK- Yup.
emogrl- What happened on Apr. 20?
I probably won’t be on much this week; I have exams *shudder* Ah, well, I’ll try.
197-Pax. Examms and beaks should not worry a Muser as clever as you are.
210-That’s MuseBlog deprivation.
212-Combination of factors. There’s runoff from other stars, global warming, energy scattering (a theory that the sun has something in it that makes it spray radiation strangely), and so on. Complicated problem; almost no solution.
How did Baked Alaska get its name? My mother’s entering a BA competition, and since I have an actual Alaskan to ask, I thought I would.
#213: 4-20…”national pot smoking day” is what some ppl call it. pretty stupid if you ask me, but a few ppl went as far as to actually make shirts to celebrate it
213-GAH! Me too! Grr!
Tomorrow after the history exam, andy and i are gonna stay after and force featherstone to show us his video!!!
So apparently there’s this REALLY funny video he made in high skool and he showed it to all the other classes on the last real day of skool he was here (Fri. we had a test and today he was gone), but we’re in his 2nd hr. so he didn’t think of showing it until after our class was over. But it’s supposed to be hilarious, and we really have nothing better to do after skool, so we’re gonna make him show us.
Sydney and monica might stay too, idk. Mebbe not. But whatev.
Well. Since i’m procrastinating, i’ll run through the exam stuffins.
Tomorrow’s anyway. Lat-150 (!!!) vocab words, all 6 tenses, all 10 cases or whatev of all 5 declensios, 2 of which we spent a total of half a day on (for both, not each) and a paragraph to translate.
History-Chapters 12-24? i think. Anything from 1800-present. Lotsa people, mostly dictators and communists. A few terms. The hardest ones to remember are the ones with weird pronounciations. I can never remember how to splel them. Grr. But it’s multiple choice.
212- agree
wiz u
Michelle W.
Your topic on dead baby birds was interesting, even if i was scared that you all wanted to kill me. I KNOW ITS CRAZY!! I DON’T WANT MORE SNOW! My friend’s mom left the sprinkler on all night and when she turned it off there was FROST! But no, i don’t live in Fairbanks (shutter) Fairbanks sound awful. I have never been there but whatever… i have heard stuff. (Evil tales :)) i live within 2 hours of the fair.
Did anyone catch “The Apperntice” finalle? I was rooting for Lee since he was jewish, but Sean was a good pick. I was laughing the entire way through, though, escpecially when the head of the chairty said to Lee: “Get your **** together little apprentice boy”. Not to mention, I find the fact that Lee totally screwed up the hockey game hilarious.
Latin exam over. Much easier than i thought it would be. As usual. I finished like an hour early. I hate it when that happens. I hate sitting still and waiting for other people to finish. Ergh. That’s the one bad thing about procrastinating-when you freak out and start cramming, you usually cram on more than you need to. Not that it’s bad to know stuff, but still.
Now i have an hour. Came home for lunch cuz didn’t want to sit around waiting during optional study period. Plus this way i get mac+cheese. Kraft, not sick cafeteria stuff.
History next. Oh yah and i have to tell y’all about the video after i see it. Btw, video is see. Or something related to that. Ave latin. Anyway. Food now.
215- That’s pretty much pathetic…
Ok, so my first two exams weren’t that bad. Theology, anyone can pass if they guess. It’s pretty much a really annoying joke…during our exam, however, our teacher ran in, grabbed this huge statue of Mary (it’s at least half of her size), hugged it, and ran out of the room with it. We all fell apart laughing and the proctor got mad…And history was easy, except for questions about Indian tribes. I think I messed them up….
English is going to be completely easy tomorrow, but Chemistry might be a little harder…that’s the one I’m stressing over…Math is multiple choice, so it should be simple, especially because we’re allowed to use calculators, and any formulas we need will be on the test!! And we’ll all fail Spanish because we’ll fall asleep during it.
*goes to study*
221-Melpomene, sweetheart, examms are potty. Channel Nigel Molesworth and you’ll do fine. Remember, you’re a Muser and we’re imbued with the power of many editors, Tamagotchis, hot pink bunny rabbits, and dead German physicists.
“The Apprentice” is a sad reflection on the US cultural vaccuum.
Hi guys. Im at skool. Does ANYBODY else in the whole entire Muse-world listen to Harry Potter Podcasts? Well, they’re awesome. Sign up for Mugglecast. It’s funny and informing.
176- I luv Choklit rocks. It’s fun to tell people I’ll eat rocks if they’ll go away. And then I do(the Choklit kind) and the leave.
Ahhh it’s 6-6-06 I’m gonna die. Oh no. What ever shall I do. Oh dear I supose I’ll go curl up in a corner now and wait for it all to end. *Sigh*
Does anyone besides me read Sherlock Holmes???
wow… the world didn’t blow up… *looks around in wonder*
jk. i never did believe stuff like that. i can’t believe our neighbors actually thought the world would end in 2000…. strange ppl out there…..
225- i read The Hound of the Baskervilles awhile back, but i can’t remember much.

162- Dingdingding! You got it!
Sorry I haven’t been ’round the blog for a little while… Gwen is terribly lazy.
So I have this creative program thing for the rest of this week and the next, and a lot of my friends (i.e., Jordan, Nicole, Erin, Olivia, AND even the guy whom I have a hopeless crush.) go toit. They think a lot like we MuseBloggers, so I have a ton of fun with them. Anyways, I have managed to start a new inside joke craze thing amongst them, based upon a post made by Kiki. It follows like this:
I knew a muffin once.
It wanted to eat me.
I’m not sure why it wanted to eat me.
I think it was because I ate its boyfriend.
It said that the boyfriend was about to propose.
I ate that muffin first.
The moral of this story, kiddies: Never Associate with Muffins
We have a series of poster designs bearing the story saved on the computers we use to write (I’m in creative writing). Now I go up to random people and say, ‘Never Associate with Muffins’. It’s really oodles of fun. You know, you’d be surprised how many muffin clip-art images there are. It’s very interesting.
HEY 8-31-92 is my b’day OMG SOMEONE ELSE HAS THE SAME BDAY AS ME!!!! coooool!!! that makes 3!
1- my moms best friend from high school who is now a coo coo bird who lives in isreal. but im not kidding shes kinda nuts
2- a girl at dance in 10th grade
3- that person on that list….whoever they are….
It’s Quintessentia, SSJ. You’ve seen her around.
can’t stand sherlock holmes. he’s such a twit!
240-i dont really get it but ROFL
about the muffin song. poem. thing. hahahaha! good job! it makes me feel rather stupid, although, because i had to ask Kiki to explain it (about eating her muffin). i am pathetic *hangs had like my dog whenever she does something bad and gets scolded for it* oh well.. i guess i just was not thinking. Someone told me once that i spaced out more than anyone he know. *sigh*
I’M BACK!
Not that it made much of a difference, seeing as I was able to post in Oregon anyway, but whatever.
Oregon was muy bueno. My uncle’s wedding was fun.
Oh, yes, and I officially want to move to Portland for one single reason: Powell’s. Powell’s is one of the largest bookstores in the world (independant bookstores, anyway). It takes up three city blocks! It’s so cool. I spent an hour there. I would have stayed longer, but we had to go. It was so cool just roming around picking books off the shelves and opening them to random pages and reading. I can imagine wasting hours in there… alas, there is no such place here.
I bought The Cartoon History of the Universe (just the first book of it). It’s phantastique! My host didn’t get it. He couldn’t understand a non-fiction, imformative history written in such an unconventional way.
My room is being invaded. By tiny little itchy creatures. ie, ants. I would close the window, but that would mean cutting off the lovely breeze. What to do, what to do.
186- Weird! I’m not quite sure I get it though. What’s the point of the tiles?
202- no woowies, SM. MB is the best place for ranting. Rant all you like. Ranting is good for the health.
209- Sweet. Snowing. In June. I love it. Crazy places that are cold. I can’t even imagine.
Incidently, it RAINED here yesterday, which is incredibly weird, and tragic, because I was in Oregon, and missed it! ARGH!. Of course, it rained in Oregon, too, but it just isn’t the same. Desert rain is perfect.
241- Cool. May a steal that? For next time I need something really random to say?
I can just imagine the scenario now…
Annoying Person who likes to act like Skipper’s friend:
OMG, and like, I really love Paul, but I just don’t think I can handle tis right now, and I know he loves me but he’s so busy and mrablamramrarmrablahblahblah, and OMG, like, what should I do?
Skipper …umm..umm…*thinkthinkthink*….Never associate with muffins?
Nice. I shall use that saying the next chance I get…On a compleatly different note, I have a golf lesson today. My previous lesson had tought me many things.
1) Aparently I am the only girl who has ever been interested in golf, and stuck with a bunch of concited boys.
2) I am insufferior in all ways due to my gender, so why bother talking to me?
3) I cannont golf to save my life.
Thank you.
247- Three city blocks? *drools*
248- It’s okay; I can’t golf either. I can’t even manage mini golf or virtual golf.
I think I overstudied. I can pretty much recite my chem. notebook. But on the bright side, my last two exams are going to be very easy. Multiple choice math tests are barely worth taking!!! And my Español teacher likes our class, so everyone’s certainly getting a goode grade!
C=λγ. (C=[lambda][nu]). Yay, uselessequasionsnedlesslymemorizedforchemistryexams!
And my friend managed to include the word, “Juggernaut,” on her bio. exam. w00t!!!!!!!!!!eleven!!!!!!
Science-nerd humor:
Innocent question: “Hi, Chris. What’s new?”
Chris’s clever retort: “c over lambda.”
People I knew in college really used to say that. Repeatedly.
(It’s actually a pretty useful equation. It tells you the relationship between the frequency and the wavelength of any kind of electromagnetic radiation: gamma rays, x-rays, microwaves, radio waves, or light.)
Today was so fun. I didn’t do anything. At all. No morning exam, slept in. Met friends at grinder’s for lunch, walked back to the skool for band exam. Laughed at next years freshies, hung out with fellow band geeks. Walked home w/fellow south b******ans stopped at CVS got CHOKLIT! Came home.
Fun times…
CHOKLIT!!!!
Our band is HUGE now. The freshies we got…trumpets-7 flutes-9 saxes-6 drums-idk, 6-8 clarinets only got 1 though. And low brass and suchlike doesn’t count cuz they only ever get 1 or 2 anyway. But yeah. And we didn’t lose that many seniors. saxes lost most with 4 i think. Although flutes might’ve had 3 or 4 too. Trumpets lost 3. So trumpet section has 7 freshies, 6 sophomores (yeah, you’re officially a sophomore as soon as the last band practice w/the seniors is over. Exams, pshaw, it’s the band that declares your status.
) i think 7 or 8 juniors and 2 seniors.
250- The sad thing is, I laughed for at least 60 seconds at that joke. Rays are fun. And there were only, uhm, three? questions about them on the exam. Wow. What’s even more sad is that I’m dissappointed [sp?] that there weren’t more questions on an exam.
241- I am honored that you used my story in a school-wide craze idea. Verr naahs, to qoute monty python. (I know I shoudn’t have done that, but nobody’s quoted in a while.)
Here’s the sequel.
*sniff* Me so sad. You know why little muffin so sad? Cause big, big, thingy came and ate BEST FRIEND!! You be sadd too, if thingy came and eat BEST FRIEND!!!!! SO, muffin get revenge. HAHAHA. Me deafeat thingy with choklity goodness. Here comes thingy!!
Kiki: Hey, why does it look like that muffin is staring at me?
muffin: *catapult* HEHEHEHE!
Kiki: What the-?
*muffin manages to pull Kiki down but Kiki stands back up at muffin scampers away under desk*
Kiki: Wow. That was REALLY weird.
muffin: I shall return!!!!!
yo GAPAs, why have you not fixed dragon’sson’sex, who is ME, HELLOOOOO?????? SHE IS NOT A SEPARATE ENTITY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!
anyway, its finals week yaaaay. not. i finished math today (WEE!!!) and i have english tomorrow (GROOOOAAAANNNN)
255-They’re a bit slow with the who’s here page. New people and all that.
Muffins! Yay!!!
School-wide craze? Hmm. I almost know what you mean. Allow me to explain [or don’t; I will anyway…]
My sisters friends are greatly amused by my antics for some odd, unknown reason. For example, I recently was in the car with my sister and her friend, when my mother was driving her friend home. I put in a CD. Franz Ferdinand, to be specific. The rest of this will not make sense if you do not own said album. Anyway, when track number nine came on [Michael] they promptly cracked up. Basically, it’s about a guy in a bi or gay dance club. ‘Nuff said. Well, my sister, that friend, and a bunch of other eighth graders downloaded that song and now sing it constantly. It’s weird.
kiki? you ok after your muffin attack?
Correction: It’s not a school-wide craze. I’ve been out of school for eternity. But I’m doing this creative program, and I’ve sparked a craze amongst my friends.
Kiki? Hello? Kiki?
*looks around room*
*muffin lurks under desk, laughing a soft evil chuckle*
Oh no! Kiki! Doth thou liveist?
The muffin shall return…how ominous!!!
257- That is a good CD. I like the band Franz Ferdinand.
Yes, I am okay. Though I now have a small choklit-scented scar on my face bu-
Muffin: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I HAVE RETURN-
Me: Stupid muffin. *blasts with amethyst powers* Now it won’t return.
muffins are taking over the world!!! agggh!!!
quick!! get all the pirates to stop global warming!!
DIE, MUFFINS, DIE!!!!!
kiki? oh no! the muffins murdered kiki!!! POLICE POLICE ARREST THE MUFFINS!!!!!
228-whtats featherstone’s video?
I ♥ Sherlock Holmes!
muffin repelent!
mix Kool-Aid and melted butter and sprinkle in some canning salt. boil on low for 20 minutes. let cool. spray all over everywhere.
265-At his high skool graduation party singing Enter Sandman with “advanced” technology flying through the background. And his dancing…oh man…
he actually said at one point he ran into a girl playing laser tag and got a minor concussion. I think you can figure out his dancing from there…
Why would i want to repel muffins? I like muffins! Muffins are my friends! *Joins muffins’ side, cackles evillly*
I have math and english exams today. I’m gonna FAIL the english. FAIL i say, FAIL. Jacob says there are 7 essays. Haven’t seen lizzy or fedner yet, so i don’t know if honors is any diff. Probably not. But 7 essays!!! GAH! *dies* Goodbye little hand…and the objective too. I am so dead. DEAD! *dies again* NOW I’M DOUBLE DEAD! *goes berserk*
Hi!!!! LAST DAY OF SKOOL!!!!! w00t!!
262- Yay!
265/228- Yeah, what is it?
Hi! I’m back. Did you miss me? Sorry, but your MuseBlog is just too busy nowadays. Too hard to keep up with. Oh well. Thank Ebeth for me. It’s all her fault I’m back.
Hi Bobby! Hi Rosie!
Hello, VF! Several people have complained about the pace here. It would be easy for us to slow things down. All Rosanne and I would have to do would be to moderate posts in a big batch once a day. Voila: instant Gaboomba.
What do you all think? Should we try it?
I dunno. Then people might get more behind because they don’t know what’s going on aside from what happened the previous day. It could be hard for us to do. But I’m game for giving it a try.
Ha! My school got out last Thursday!
(273)Mmm…. not so sre. That would mean having to go through and read a whole lotta posts everyday. Well, maybe it wouldn’t. I still not so sure, though.
Hiya VF! Yes, we missed you muchly indeed. Come to the PIe War thread! The Neutrals have a new name- The JadeOp.
If we did slow it down, it would be harder to catch up I think. It’s easier if you moderate several times in my opinion, because otherwise wqe could only read it after a certain time. That made sence in my head but not when I wrote it…darn.
Whoops. ^From me. Not used to VF being on, sorry.
273- I think I’d die. I must agreee with 277.
Hey, did anyone see how JKR won “Best Living British Author”? Terry Pratchett got second. JKR? Ok, I do like HP, but, honestly, that’s just sad.
Do you guys know whats in marshmellows. Cow eyes, fat hooves, blood and basicly the leftover parts of a cow. I’m not messing with you. really it’s true.
264- pirates? Like the great spaghetti monster?
281- But is the same stuff in marshmellow fluff? I’ve been trying to find if it’s like, a product of the marshmellow-making processs, or something completely different…come to think of it, there might be a jar of it in my house….I’ll look for a list of ingrediants(sp?)…*looks*…ok, so I can’t find one. Is that legal?
Marshmallow fluff contains corn syrup, sugar, egg whites, and vanillin. No gelatin. You can relax.
231….
284- Thank you. Because it smelled really goode. I shall now consume it! Wow, it’s sticky…
yukk marshmallow fluff is odd. i dont think i’ve ever had it. i never wanted to try PB and Fluff sandwhiches and i hated PB and J sandwhiches in elem. school
who here is going to 9th grade nxt year??
Im going to 11th. Advice to fresh(wo)men: don’t believe the majority of what (moste) upperclass(wo)men tell you about school. Seriously, ask a competent teacher. There is no room 5 in my school, and upperclasspeople enjoy telling freshpeople that they are needed there.
(287) I am. Of course, because we’re the same age! Coolio.
I don’t really have finals. We only have a small science quiz and a small math quiz tomorrow. But on Tuesday, we have a whopping huge algebra final that I am worried about. So far, I’ve studied two chapters out of seven. Oh dear.
Hey! Today we dissected frogs in science! It was weird at first, but we just pretended it was a plastic frog and soon we were saying things like, “Will you hold the skin up with the tweezers so I can cut out the stomach? No no, it’s my turn with the scissors!” “Let me do the liver, then!” However, my two lab partners got grossed out and left halfway through. Well, I had fun.
Some of the guys did disgusting things with their frogs. They got over the weirdnes much sooner. Two guys cut off their frog’s head. AJ cut out the frog’s tongue. D cut off the frog’s arms. C cut a strip of skin and wore it like a wedding ring and said, “It’s fourteen-carat gold.” Ewwww.
Can someone answer my question?
I just watched an episode of “My Name Is Earl”
That show is hilarious.
DY (290),
Are you talking your question ‘way back in 231? All I can say is that http://www.news@nature.com works for me. It’s a good site.
nothing. And it looks really good to.
Wow… I’ve finally graduated. *is stunned* It was yesterday, but I’m still stunned.
282 (E~A)- All bow down to the great Flying Spaghetti Monster! Arr matey! Have I found another Pastafarian in our midst?
yay for freshpeople! i believe that skipper is also going into 9th. thanks for the advice commodore.actually tho people at my school (7-12) are nice, even to the seventh graders.
Sherlock is coming.
One weight loss program called the song “We gotta get right bac where we started from” 70s Fluff. So we were talking about marshmellow fluff in skool, and I said “I like 70s Fluff” and the teacher asked “Is that some kind of Jewish food?”
:laugh:
In other noos, Going to visit my sister in Rhode Island. I’ll have to miss my friends bar mitzvah
I’m going into 9th grade next year! We get out of school on the 14th.
289- My class did that in 7th grade. The guys had fun flinging frog parts across the room. Only one girl got grossed-out. The rest of the class was fine.
Another odd thing that happens in my school is a sort of swimmer initiation (at least 50% of the people in my school are on the swim team…). Upperclasspeople tell the freshpeople that the pool is on the roof and that there is a secret stairway leading to it. I know several people who have actually looked for said pool. Our school doesn’t have a pool. They use the local YMCA.
Upperclassmen don’t sound like to much fun to me. I am going into 9th grade, btw. Relating back to the topic of spagetti, there is a group of guys in my classes who decided to give temselves superhero names. Lessee, there was Spagetti Man, Captain Garlic Bread, and some others. They decided for my friend to be a “simpelton,” actually they were trying to say citizen but got it wrong.
Hahaha. I got out of skool yesterday and now I am deathly bored. Is that happening to anyone I know?
280-Terry Pratchett totally should’ve won. He is amazing.
I’m out of skool! Huzzah!!! I’m a sophomore! w00t!
Oh yeah and i saw the premier thing of the prarie home companion movie at the Drexel. Lots of old people. I didn’t understand much of the plot (what little there was) I guess it’s better if you listen to the show. But there were some good songs+jokes and stuff. The detective guy’s really funny. But the symbolic angel person is just weird. I ♥ the two cowboy peoples. Lindsay lohan was emo. Um? No. Never again. But she wasn’t emo for long, because then she was all happy and sang a song. The whole thing was kinda random like that. But it was pretty good all in all. Better than studying for the science exam anyway.
Oh and mom got a bunch of free cds and stuff cuz she went up and sang (embarrassing us to death i might add) you are my sunshine. Yep.
Went to the library too. First time in quite a while. Got some wodehouse, and a sherlock holmes since that seems to be the new cynosure of the blog. (ooh vocab word. See i learned all these words that i never use, so i have to reassure myself that there was actually a point to learning them. So i have to use them. It makes sense. Somewhat)
Anyway. That’s m’life.
295- Correct. (about me going to 9th grade)
299- Werd, the upperclasspeople play that exact same trick at my high skool.
302- Ooo, I gotta get me ona those (a life, I mean).
I watched an Alfred Hitchcock movie last night. What was the name…. North by Northwest. It was good, though the ending was a little strangely done. I also watched Rear Window while I was in Oregon. That one was excellent! I like old movies, because the style is different. There’s more…interaction, ya know? Instead of just flashing between shots of talking heads. I also got Psycho to watch.
303- I have a collection of Hitchcock movies. They were purchaced on Ebay. The sound is English, but the menu and subtitles [which you can turn off] are in Chinese. Psyco is really goode. Norman Bates is my hero. Not really, but he’s fun to quote.
**Psycho
Yo! Wazzup? I can’t believe some of you have school ’til the 14th! JS and I got out the 1st.
does anyone know where i put the sims 2? has anyone seen/read “all summer in a day” by ray bradbury?
Hey, I’m a Pastafarian too! I was a humdrum nonbeliever until my friend converted me. I have been touched by His Noodly Appendage! I feel a deep sense of…uh…something. Hunger for spaghetti, perhaps.
268- i love metallica!!!!
im listening to enter sandman right now
i can play the intro on my bass
im going to be a freshmen.

I’m half-Italian…so I’ve always eaten pasta. Marinara is better than Alfredo. And I think I misspelled them… Yay, pasta.
With cheese. Some kind pronounced par-mah-jhan. Because I still can’t spell.
we don’t get out of skool until the 20th.
i don’t get out of skool until… umm… well lets just say about 9 skool days left. BBBUUUTTT on exam days we have half days and a feild trip.
I listen to Prairie home companion. ‘Tis awesome.
Prairie home companion is cool. Did you know that there making a movie of it.
311- Parmesan. not that hard, but I still have trouble spelling things like- hold on, “schedule.” Had to ask VF fer that one.
294- Is being Pastafarian a religion? or just a creation theory? I’m not pastafarian but I’m open to the idea of pastafarianism.
306- well, I really don’t have any school work anymore. There is just finals. I’m looking forward to the fourteenth because I get to see a friend who moved away that I haven’t seen in a long time.
At my school there are no such tricks on the freshmen. Just bits of teasing here and there. I’m going to be a junior. (11th grade)
I’ve listened to Prairie Home Companion. Guy Noir etc…
315-Yah. Didn’tcha see my post? 305. I saw like a pre-showing thingamajig or whatever.
You mean parmasan cheese? I think that’s how you spell it. Mebbe not. Maybe i just fail at life. But y’know what, skool’s OVER! For me anyway. And my brain is on vacation.
I have New York State Of Mind stuck in my head. It’s not really that good of a song. And it’s getting quite annoying. My life is so horrible, is it not? lol jk
Well i’m gonna go do fun exciting wonderful things now. Eat your weetabix, all.
“Mama, But Weer All Crazee Now! Merry Christmas! Coz I Luv You, Get Down and Get With It.”
Raise your hand if you understood that. Wait, you’re typing a brilliant response to my little joke there.
317-Prairie Home Companion is the ZArkleseizure. (Someone asked me why the ‘A’ was capitalized. It’s because of the abbreviation for “Zarking Arkleseizure”. What? Oh, right.)
Sorry if I seem a little unusual today. Today was my last day of school and 7th grade, and I think I’m going to explode with pent-up frustration over this one essay I wrote that my teacher didn’t understand. It was simple! It was even immediately comprehendable to the friend I showed it to, who is not only younger than my teacher but still in college, and the teacher has a Ph.D, for zark’s sake! A “Push Here Dummy”! It was only a little treatise on Schrodinger’s Cat, who doesn’t have an umlaut because I am typing too fast and furiously to stick one in-I don’t make any mistakes because this is a Dvorak, and the day I make a blooper on a Dvorak, don’t check my vital signs, don’t even bother to cremate me, just push me out the door with the swill. That last bit was a paraphrase from Robert A. Heinlein’s momentous book, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls. The San Francisco Times said that book was a thinking man’s H2G2. The thinking man already has a H2G2! So do all other thinking life forms! I am perfectly respectful of Heinlein, but he is not Bop Ad and nor should anyone call him that because he is too short and too respectful.
It’s just that someone accused me of drunk driving today, and I’m dead sober (scary, eh?), in my “Angry Young Student” mode, and I don’t drive. The same Captain Creep, driving a bourgemobile, also called me a floozy, threw a bucket at my head, and made fun of me for reasons I will not go into-heck, I might as well. French-Canadian, stutter, and outfit, which contained a shirt with the slogan ‘SO OVER FREUD’ on the front and the motto ‘PLATE ENVY’ on the back.
I apologize for polluting your thread.
318- Ummm…Ebeth? Coment 305 was by Commodore SM. Not you.
(319) As one who has read this entire blog from the beginning, I can assure Her Majesty that she has never failed to enhance any thread on which she has posted.
