Life, the universe, pies, hot-pink bunnies, world domination, and everything
(At the risk of sounding self-congratulatory…) Kiki’s idea.
Date: August 9, 2006
Categories: Fan Page / MuseBlog business
…you no longer think of Mostly Harmless as a Douglas Adams book, but a world domination plan.
when you start dreaming about it.
*does second post dance*
I posted the second post!
ahem.
I really have nothing to say to this blog, i just saw that i could possibly do second post.
bye bye
did I say blog?
i meant thread.
sorry.
oh wait, never mind, i just thought of one…
…you dream about what you saw today while sailing the high seas of museica
… you instictively check out each thread in the hopes of getting a First/Second/Third/Top-Ten/Forty-Second post without actually checking to see what the thread is about.
Your offline friends keep asking questions like: What do you mean you’re a cook on the Black-Footed Ferret? What panda? and why is she purple?
You introduce words like “squee” and “w00t” into board of directors meetings.
You’re astounded that Amazon refuses to make deliveries to Museica.
There are strange lulls in your conversation as you wait for your comments to be moderated.
You spend the morning deliberating over what to write on this thread.
“MuseBlog: Where the world’s oldest kids meet the world’s youngest adults.”
Ha! I like that motto!
BEST SLOGAN EVER!
…you think that people who aren’t reading at baseball games just look weird.
…while reading your latest issue of Muse, you take careful mental notes of what you’re gping to blog about.
…you fantasize about throwing your enemies into the FMP.
…you have strong urges to pie someone everytime Chuck Norris or Watership Down is mentioned.
…you think bunnies look unnatural if they’re not pink.
…you scan the interstate highways, looking for PWT PWNS license plates.
…you can sing the llama song, the lumberjack song, and the dumpster dive song. And break into them when you’re bored.
…you refer to the months by their random thread titles on MB.
Okay, I don’t have any more right now.
…you think “pie” is a verb.
Yes!
You ask people “what’s your country” endlessly.
You’ve actually met more than one person who worked/works for Muse. (guilty)
You write *stalkstalk* at the end of notes to your friends
You talk about strange people you’ve never mat called “Kuai Zi Angel Pentatonikk” or “Cedar”
You crack up at random words such as “llama”
…you say random, senseless things just to be first in a conversation and then look around and scream, “No! Gary, don’t eat my eyes!”
…you grumble and mutter, “ohgod, not Penty,” whenever anyone says the letter ‘R’ more than once.
…when discussing actors, you’re constantly thinking about which Muse they should play.
…you have a random quotation for every situation.
…when somebody mentions some cool new hobby you race to the MB to ask for a thread
…your parents haven’t seen you for a month
…you look up MB adults’ names in the “author” section of the library directory just to see if they’ve written anything (guilty)
g2g
when you start reimnding the GAPAs how to be GAPAs(guilty)
You write in MB more often then in Word (guilty)
you laugh when you see a Chuck Norris movie poster (guilty)
…your homepage is Museblog.
…you understand all these endings, and think they’re hilarious.
…you have a pet named Koko.
…you are laughing because you’ve read this far and are guilty of so many of these.
…you are continually thinking of random posts to write on MB.
… your parents time how long you spend on the Muse Blog and find out it’s nearly 11 hours
your parents start to go on museblog
•You insist everyone calles you your username.
•Your eyes get red and watery from staring at a screen all day.
Couldn’t think of anything else.
you actually post on this thread
*You excitedly recount to your friends exciting tales about Pie Wars, building a skool in a different world, and conversing w/ alter egos – even though your friends hav no idea what you’re talking about.
*You actually still talk to your alter egos (That you discovered after being in MB for awhile…) in different places online, and even in real life, for that matter…
*You make a HPB out of hot pink floam, place it on an altar cloth, set candles around it, and make a shrine (Oh shut up).
*You hav a member’s card for the Traffic Cone Preservation Society (You also hav another shrine – w/ little baby traffic cones on it. Shut up).
when you write, you put actions inside asterisks *typing*
…you have stickers on your journals and notebooks that say “Muse: Mostly Harmless”, “Koko for Prezzie”, “Pwt Pwns” and have pictures of hpbs.
…you spend $1.45 on a pin in a second hand store because it has a map on it with a street called “Koko Head St.”
…you say “pwns” instead of “owns”
…when your doing something interesting, you wonder what other Musebloggers would think of it
…you start relating stories about crazy things Musebloggers have done to your freinds in real life (and when they ask you where you met the people you are talking about, you just say “oh…they don’t go to this school…”)
…when your IMing your freinds, you don’t type in chatspeak
…when people make jokes about Chuck Norris, your automatic instinct is to make a remark about Watership Down
…you get incredibley excited whe you see dumpsters that say “PWT PWNS” (have yet to deiscover what this actually syands for)
(and yes, I am guilty of all of the above)
You frequently enact fierce battles between the sects of Bunnyism and Coneianity, with yourself as high priest(ess) of both religions, fighting to the death with yourself.
When your teacher asks you a question, you respond, “Forty-two.”
…when you want to make something italic on your word processer, you start making angle brackets before you remember to select it from the menu instead.
…when speaking, instead of actually doing things like laughing, dancing, etc. you just say the action. Example-
Raul the normal dude -“What’s brown and sticky?”
Skipper the Crazy Museblogger- “I dunno, what is brown and sticky?”
Raul the normal dude- ” A stick!”
Skipper the Crazy Museblogger- “Cracks up laughing!”
..when you wonder where the pies are when you meet someone new.
xD
16- I found a book by Ivars Peterson!!!!!!!!!!!
24- Traffic Cone Preservation Society? That sounds very cool.
28- So guilty of the last one.
…you check MB in the morning and after school, before doing anything else.
…if someone asks you for directions or information, you ask them if it’s okay to post a link.
…your friends have no idea why you try to get them to wear certain colours on certain days.
…you celebrate Towel Day…
…and haven’t read H2G2.
Not guilty of the last one.
When you are obbsessed with hot pink bunnies
When you start randomly quoting random facts during study hall
When you crack up at comment # 24 and are guilty of most of the stuff in it.
When you more readily imagine your room in a ship caklled the sweet tiramisu than clean
…Everybody looks at you funny when you walk in with a black shirt, because last time you wore it you vehemently declared it was octarine and flew into a rage if anyone dared venture the simple fact that it looked like black to them
. . . you read through all these and think they sound perfectly sane.
. . . wait a minute — “pie” isn’t a verb?
Maybe I should have said “…you can’t understand why some people seem to think ‘pie’ isn’t a verb.”
(35) oh, whew, you had me worried there for a sec.
… your imaginary friend is a LIR
…You introduce yourself as a Boian prime muser and are shocked when nobody is impressed.
…you understand why someone would name a ship after a dessert
…you are a retired Norriser and twitch when anybody mentions Watership Down
…You know what a Norriser is
…You know what an LIR is
…you always get choklit wrong on a spelling test
Kricket!!! I havent seen you since we were arguing on the FIRST hot topics thread!!!
#28: Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe I luv that one…
*When you go to skool rockin’ a Koko T-shirt along w/ the usual black cargos + converse.
… you mope for hours on end until someone answers your comment
on the first day of camp, you wore a koko for prezzie sticker and everyone stared at you (guilty)
Whenever you are out in public, you hold up three fingers (remember that one?)
you’ve actually met Samantha Sordyl (guilty)
you know, my friend (she appeared on the blog for a very short time as IzzePop) when I first introduced her to the MB she was like, oh em gee, proper grammar!! (she’s a chatspeak freak)
You spend more time on MuseBlog than you do asleep
…when you’re thinking on what someone said, you tell them, “Your comment is awaiting moderation.“
guilty, but not for all.
*wails, sobs pitifully* I don’t know the llama song, the lumberjack song, and the dumpster dive song. Nor do I break into them when bored.
…you leave out non essential words like ‘I am’
…your social studies teacher says ‘Oh, that Kokopelli’ in the middle of an argument about Kokopelli.
…has a residence in Museica
…types with most fingers
…thinks that sharpies are insanly cool
…has read HG2TG and recommended it to all and sundry friends.
…you know the llama song and am thinking about threatening the editors with it if the time ever comes
and you don’t have to be a Muser to think sharpies are insanely cool!
Someone please teach me the llama song!
I can’t think of anything.
…You start thinking somebody else is writing the Q&A coulom because Robert Coontz and Rossane Spector are the GAPAs.
…You are planning to invite the GAPAs to your latest family reunion, because they seem like family after almost a year of blogging.
You set time aside for it every single day of the year (well almost) like me.
You have more friends on MuseBlog then you do off of it (of course)
You write everything in Haiku
You get excellent grades on poetry because it was edited by Musebloggers
where could c&q and I find the llama song, the lumberjack song, and the dumpster dive song?
…you read the school rules so you know what random mayhem can be caused and still not get in trouble.
…you think that trebuchets are cool and continualy hound your social studies teacher to resurect the trebuchet that he built a few years ago.
…you get you scedule changed so youcan be in all of the classes you want to be in even if you don’t have lunch anymore.
penguins rock
There’s a sound file of the Dumpster Dive Song on the Fan Page.
…you tell people that the hot pink bunnies are attacking you
that you would like to create a national party called the OP
They must read Muse or die.
You wanna try new things
tell teachers that somthing they said is false and that you’d like to thank BO
you constantly think about mostly harmless
You want to raid one of the GAPAs house with pies
It takes time for you to process a friends thought
you are flung into deep space everytime you don’t come on for a long time (LIKE MEEEEEEE)
53- theres a link to the llama song on comment 66 or thereabouts on the Hg2mb thread.
When you compose posts to threads as you are faling asleep…
# 48: Trust me, you don’t want to learn the llaa song.
…when your in everyday situtations, imagine a big arrow labling you as your MB name and wonder if anyone else is an MB-er who is around you at the time.
…if you know what MB stands for.
…if you keep unconciously spelling pirates “pierates”, realize what you’ve done, and refuse to change the spelling.
48-*deep breath*
here’s a llama, there’s a llama
and another little llama
fuzzy llama, funny llama
llama, llama, duck
llama, llama, cheesecake, llama
tablet, brick, potato, llama
llama, llama, mushrooms, llama
llama, llama, duck
i was once a treehouse
i lived in a cake
but i never saw the way
the orange slayed the rake
i was only three years dead
but it told a tale
and now listen little child
to the safety rail
did you ever see a llama
kiss a llama on the llama
llama’s llamas, tastes of llama
llama, llama, duck
half the llama, twice the llama
not a llama, farmer, llama
llama in a car
alarm a llama, llama, duck
is that how it’s told now
is it all so old
is it made of lemon juice
doorknob, ankle, cold
now my song is getting thin
i’ve run out of luck
time for me to retire now
and become a duck
(LOOP)
squeeeee! Sorry for annoying half the world there. But it was fun.
You are baffled when you’re friends don’t realize when the Museblog has declared it National talk in 3rd person day
or spout out coments like “Jadestone is on strike agenst pronouns!
Guilty as charged.
When situations at school become dire, you look at you’re teacher and say(don’t forget the bambi eyes) “Pwease?”
what is a LIR??? there mentioned on ships logs beyond museica but i dont know wat they are.
-you talk to your friends about how awesome museblog is and they look at u like ur crazy (guilty)
-you need help because your ship got lost in ships logs beyond museica and you wont post anything until someone helps you
-you beg your parents to get a pwt pwns liscense plate
-when you doodle you draw pictures of the muses like kokopelli (guilty)
-you check museblog as regularly as you check your email (guilty)
(((LIRs can be found in comment 61 of the Ships’ Log thread)))
u check the MB more often then u check ur email. (guilty)
You told your science teacher where quotes can be found at random intervals. (Very, very guilty)
66-me too. I am guilty as charged. *grins*
( thanks jadestone)
– you cant sleep because you are thinking of wat adventure you will have on ships logs beyond museica the next day. guilty
(66) guilty
Thanks for the llama song. Now I can use it to annoy annoying pests in Spanish Class. The dumpster dive song is rather not there due to a rather shot sound applet.
What about the Lumberjack song?
…You get thouroughly annoyed that the pencil-pushing muse died in planning stage.
…you tell everybody that there’s a really great movie that might possibly come out sometime in the next century that they should really go see, and then when they ask what it’s about you deluge them with details (i’m sure i used that word wrong but it sounds kewl so it stays)
…you show everybody the pic of GAPA RC’s license plate and brag about the dedication of the GAPAs. People look at you funny and ask “what the bleep are GAPAs?”. you cry.
…you put your dad’s dire straits cd on your ipod despite never having heard any of their songs just because some people from the museblog liked it. (absolutely guilty. thank you so much people.)
…you recommend Muse to everybody you see, whether they asked for a magazine recommendation or not.
…your first blog/forum thing that you actually participated in was none other than the great MB (sort of guilty…i had talked on a few forums but was pretty much a lurker. this was my first regularly visited, regularly posted on blog)
…your parents speak of “That…Mewsblog thing” (as in, they actually know the name of the site? incredible!)
…you are convinced that it is absolutely normal to throw pies at people and spontaneously burst into song
…whenever you have no idea what you’re talking about, you start using a lot of fancy vocabulary until people assume you must be an expert on the subject. (ok that’s more for musers in general i guess. Musers speaking to the Unenlightened)
…you have described your history teacher as “the american PB&J” (guilty :D)
…people can’t figure out your political party because every four years you keep shouting “Vote for Kokopelli!”
…you have created a whole bunch of jokes that you use at every available oppurtunity but which are funny only to a select few
you have made more than 10 comments on the same blog in one day. (guilty)
you shout “Vote for Kokopelli” whenever possible
almost every comment in the recent comments colum is you- for the 5th time that day
you find it easy to comepletely fill up the “recent comments” section (guilty)
you spend as much time on the MB as you do talking to friends (guiltly)
You find yourself wondering if the voice on the other end of the telephone line is that of an LIR.
You googled the GAPA and now know their phone numbers, office adress, and email. So guilty.
#79: Whoa, That’s some major stalkedge there! Hehe.
*You bring Muse to work to read so you don’t hav to read the Cosmos / Glamours / Various fashion mags there like the rest of the girls do.
You bring extra muses and subscription cards and leave them at hair salons, eye docters, everywhere in hopes of recruting people.
…someone can name a subject and you can name which Muse it came from…
…when somebody asks a question, you immediately have the answer and when they wonder at your greatness, you modestly say “Oh it’s nothing. I read The Article” When they ask which article this would be, you gasp and assume they must have missed that one due to some technically difficulty, and explain the entire issue, quoting Koko+Co and Bo’s Page by heart and hitting the major points of the rest. When they ask which magazine, you are astounded and fall to the floor in a faint. When you are revived, you say “Muse, of course!” and hand them a subscription card. If they politely refuse, you pie them into submission.
82- so, so, soooo very guilty
your parents have to ask you not to talk about your various obbsessions, muse, and the MB… (guilty)
(70) To fully appreciate The Lumberjack song, you must see the skit that goes with it. Go to the movie store and rent it. It’s a Monty Python sketch, and the I believe the title Is just The Lumber Jack song (but that might not be the name on the video case). The sketch that is right before it in that episode is The Homicidal Barber, so if you find a video with that on it, it should also have the Lumberjack Song.
… you begin to absentmindedly sing the llama song during class.
—
*begins to sing under breath*
here’s a llama
there’s a llama
and another little-
aaaaaaaaaaaahh!
*gets pied by annoyed Musers*
71: the pencil pushing muse did NOT die!!!!!!!!!!!
79- I googled Robert and I found a wikipedia entry for this guy who was an admiral in the navy and died in 1935. *scared* Robert is a ghost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also found a short video from MuseBlog that Robert accidentally took w/ his cellphone…
https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=25
googling people is fun!
There’s also a boat called the USS Coontz! Now I shall google Rosanne…
She wrote an article on Heart disease… Her Phone is Censored by GAPA for privacy. Just kidding. I dont want to tell you. google her yourself, you lazy bloggers!!!!-Otzi
…The kokpellihedron is YOUR COMPUTER BACKGROUND.
…You like to recite random words for hours on end—Supamu supamu supamu supamu supamu supamu supamu…
…you give everyone on your gift list the same thing… SUBSCRIPTIONS TO MUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
…when you know H2G2 by heart and recite it before breakfast. Every morning.
…when the very mention of Arizona makes you think of Kokopelli.
when, assuming they are Muses, you talk back to the voices in your head (Just kidding!)
when you blog before the sun rises, because there isn’t time usally anywhere else…
…When you vote for Kokopelli during school elections
…Your parents look at you funny when you talk about meeting dictators, dragons, stalkers and suchlike on the blog…
93-like the whole thing?
from the first to the restaurant one?
thats like a thousand pages!
eep!
write a couple pages
98-Knowing queenie j, i’d probably say the ultimate guide-the first h2g2 all the way through mostly harmless (that is the last one, no?)
I like Aeiou. Boo Kokopelli!
…you are a master at procrastinating…
…you consider building a scale onaer on the roof of the school compleatly normal…
…you read every post on every thread.
…you talk to more people on the blog than in person.
…you start to talk about something, get a blank stare in response, and then explain yourself by stating “it’s a MuseBlog thing”.
…when you have a question your first impulse is to ask the GAPAs.
…you decorate your school supplies with hot pink bunnies, muse doodles, PWT PWNS, etc.
…you start a “vote for Koko” campaign among your non-museblogging friends.
…you know more about Museica than your own country.
…you smile when you see pictures of Kokopelli anywhere outside the blog because you know they mean project Mostly Harmless is underway.
