Veteran MuseBloggers will now proceed to brief recent arrivals on aspects of blog culture and etiquette not covered in The Rules, the Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog (HG2MB), or the previous HG2MB thread.
Patience, Please
This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
Pies are warfare, pwt pwns, and the word for “cool” is “froody” If you don’t know what that’s from, I pity you.
W000t!!!
“Mostly Harmless” is the Musebloggers’ code name for their plan to take over the world.
This thread is the best one ever.
And here are two songs you should know.
THE LUMBERJACK SONG
I’m a lumberjack and I’m okay, I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees I (dont know the lyrics), I go to the lavat’ry. On wednesday i go shopping, and have buttered scones for tea!!
Go google the rest.
THE LLAMA SONG
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 mushroom 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 llama, tastes of llama, llama llama duck
half a 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, orange ankle cold
now my song is getting thin, I’ve run out of luck
time for me to retire now and become a duck
Froody? Warfare? W00t? Mostly Harmless? Pwt pwns? HUH?!?!?!?!
What is a NICE thing to say? Seip? And WHAT IS W00t?!?!?!?!
Pwt Pwns is a phrase coined by the GAPA Robert Coontz, or at least that is what I gather. He has a license plate with that saying on it. W00t is basically Woohooo but more fun. Froody is from HG2TG, but I have never read the book, the first few pages with all the swearing kinda threw me off. It means “cool.” If you google the whole Llama Song, then you find the song on Albinoblacksheep. I am currently listening to it.
5 – nice? I’m not serious. A nice thing to say is “MB PWNS!!!!!” If you don’t want to say that, you can say what you would usually say.
Here’s some other things newbies should know:
1. We musers (or at least MuseBloggers) are proud of being insane, and will pie with the vilest virtual pies anyone who insults our culture.
2.Kokopelli is the official “for president.”
3.GAPAS pwn in this Musiverse, with the exception of the new Muses. In my opinion, anyway.
4. I can’t think of anything right now, but maybe I will later.
Beware of flying pies!
8 – I disagree. Be prepared, but not wary. Wary is not fun. Just be prepared.
(3) There are a few more verses to The Lumberjack Song, but actaully, perhaps I won’t post them…
“pwns” is a mispelling of “owns”, but now it’s done intentionally.
Any references to Chuk Norris/Watership Down come from a very silly thing that happened a few months back. Here’s the whole thing in a nutshell:
-The GAPAs made a Chuck Norris (CN is a kung fu guy who
played Walker Texas Ranger) thread, by popular request.
– Em diclared it useless and decided it was actually a Watership Down thread (Watership Down is a book about talking rabbits)
– This caused much disagreement as to which was better
– Several Pie Wars ensued.
Any references to MG are to Montgomerygurl, who was a long time blogger who left when she felt that many of her views were being needlessely disrespected, and the the blog was lapsing into incoherent unorderlieness. Her withdrawal lead to a general blog-reform movement in which thoughtful posting is strongly encouraged.
(ie, randomness is great, but please think before you post)
Museica is the nation that we created. It rose from the desolation created by all the Pie Wars.
If you’re really confused about something, or just want to know more about it, search it in the search engine, and you’ll most likely find the thread for it, where you can read exactly what happened.
Don’t mention Chuck Norris. Or Watership Down.
At least, that’s what I’ve gathered.
Museica is where we all live. For more information, go to the Chronicles of Museica, Part the Second. We are governed by Prime Musers (PMs). I’m the Mimian Prime Muser. Hi!
oh – and “pie” is a verb AND a noun. NEVER EVER EVER forget that. just reminding you…
*pies all people who forgot*
and use asterisks for actions.
*types asterisks just for the fun of it*
*********************************************************************************************************************
chocolate is a misspelling. its spelled choklit
and a lot of people (well, maybe just me) call school “the horrible infliction known as SKOOL.”
Can anyone explain Eleventy-1?
Also, something new musers should know:
That would be fun.
Never post in ch@5P34K. Nobody likes it, and it takes forever to write.
And, because I just had a thought strike me, I shall write it here: We should have a thread just for weird dreams.
As you can see, we are also kind of random, but don’t try to be too random, as it may annoy people.
Bleh. That is not supposed to be a link….
The all seeing Axa reports to explain internet jargon once more.
“pwn” is a word from the internet dialect (read: fanspeak) known as 1337 or leet. Said dialect is comprised of letters and symbols that form words. And example is 1337; the “1” is a l, the “3”s both es, and the 7 a t. This combination of numbers forms the word leet.
“pwn” itself is not a term used with numbers, but rather a spelling mistake widely accepted as a word of it’s own. It does indeed come from the word “own” misspelled as “pwn”. (See where the p is on your keyboard?
The actual term “leet” is derived from the word “elite”.
w00t is a exclamatory phrase that means “we own the other team”, also a leet phrase.
1337 was first used by online gamers. Who pwn j00r soulzzz!!!!111
Understand that if you use leet in complete seriousness, you are a phool, and teh suxxors.
There’s a search engine? Where?
(18) The little text box up by the green links that say HOME, RULES, WHO’S HERE, WHAT’S HERE, HG2MB.
11-But we loooooovvvvveesssssss the Watership down! My pppprrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeccchousssssssssssssssssss!!!!
10 – We should post a link to her retirement speech.
MG also told a lot of us about MuseBlog, and she was a very respected muser.
15 – We had one once.
otiz and em sarted pie wars
I am vice fether pm
Here’s another one:
Read and learn. Answers wil unfold slowly if you don’t ask, and the answers will be much more explanetory. (sp?)
uh… what about just being wierd forumites? w00t!! Tr00 metuhl!!!
GO LISTEN TO THE MIGHTY RHAPSODYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
“GLORIA, GLORIA PERPETUA! IN THIS DAWN OF VIIIIIIICTOOOOORYYYYY!!!!”
muse rpg – the muse role play
flamabadulous – so wonderful it might spontainiously combust
pied – yes, we use pie as a verb here
gapa – great and powerful administrator
Thanks, Kali. But for the record, the word is flamablamablous.
people may have alternate personalitys. I am also Kororra.
The use of alter egos has always struck me as somewhat unMuselike. The magazine is all about promoting clarity and dispelling confusion. It must be Kokopelli’s influence, I suppose.
Actually, alter egos can be quite clarifying at times. Bob is very helpful.
by the way, i’ve been secretly (or not-so-secretly possibly-however you look at it) conducting a test of Insanty vs. Sanity. I go up to people and tell them who Bob is, and point to where he’s standing. then i ask them to give him a hug. So far, four people hugged Bob and three people refused. Of the refusals, one just laughed very nervously and slightly hysterically and told me i was crazy (he couldn’t run away because we were in band at the time), one gave me a blank look and walked away, and one just told me i was weird and rolled her eyes.
So i figured i’d better raise bob’s score a bit and ask you guys! If you stick your arms out right beside you (where Bob is currently lurking) and give him a hug, tell me and i’ll give you a free pie in the face and a point for bob! As in, i’m crazy, go me.
Bob!!!!
*hugs*
Yes, this is just one example of the random craziness that makes the museblog so fun. ^_^
Cool! I was just looking at the old thread yesterday.
I hugged Bob!!
Lets see, usefull stuff…umm…
Oh dear. What to say? Well, we all are a bunch of tallented slightly-strange compleatly random people suffering from ATLS(a total loss of sanity) and watch out for flying pies. Are we going to do that thing where we post a bio or somthing again?
I hugged Bob! I’m hoping he was on the right side of me because that is the side I hugged.
If anyone says something like “gen 0” or “gen 3” they are referring to when MG graphed all of the Museblogger’s starting posting times and seperated them into generations. I’m a gen 0 because I started posting in the Gaboomba, which was where you emailed comments into the website and Robert would put them up.
I just hugged Bob. But on the left.
Hmm… What can Penty the Snarktastic tell the newbies?
We’re all Musers here. No matter how evil I or anyone else may seem (it usually appears to be me, however, as I have a very low threshold for stupidity, pain, and PTC, though only the first one matters in this situation), we love you, or at least tolerate you. It’s best to use proper etiquette, pull the chairs out for the female bloggers and all that, but we won’t hate you if you don’t. (Except in very specialised cases.) Just…be nice, be civil, and don’t take everything like we mean it.
“Life is too important to be taken seriously.”
–Oscar Wilde
I hugged Bob! But where is the great flood of newbies I have predicted? Oviously anywhere but here…
*calls* “newwwwwwwwwbbbbiiiieeessss! OH NEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWBBIIEES! Where did they go? Did I do somthing to scare them away?”
*hugs bob*

To blog, you must be: (choose adjective)
A Muser (last resort: only check if none of the others)
slightly crazy
a fan of Kokopelli
able to quote HGTG
In tune with the latest goings-on in Museaica
BOB!!! *hugs* Wouldn’t it be funny if you did that to someone random on a street, and it turned out to be one of us?
*hugs bob*
36- im more than slightly crazy… as it should be.
On the llama song- half of museblog hates it and the other half loves it. to be polite and not offend the llama song haters just dont post it. be pied instead.
WHAT IS 111? ELEVENTY-1?
I have a faint idea, but it’s not very clear…
*hugs bob*
(37) – that would be FROODY!
39- wikipedia. Leet. All the answers will appear.
“111” is leet speak for “!!!”
also remember that nationstates is there, welcoming new members.
oh nevermind.
*hugs Bob*
I did it!
Hey, how come in the HG2MB(checking it out to see what we had) it had a ♥ in the smily catagory but not a ♣ , ♦ or ♠ ?
45-becacause we felt like it.
how do you even do the others? :spades; ? :diamonds; ? :clubs; ? lessee…
Guess that’s not it then. Btw, Zyviva, Becacause is a pretty amazing word. I’m gonna start using that. XD
thank you. i feel honored.
newbies- Becacause is a misspelling of because, but it is prettyer so it is used instead (or will eb once ppl catch on)
let me try those thingys :spade: :club: :diamond:
One thing that you should know is that Poems and Songs is a cool thread. (https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=422)
Hey! I just dicovered this! On a PC, if you press Ctrl + the + or – key the text gets either bigger or smaller depending on which one you press.
40-How about, when your in public in a city where you know musebloggers live, you always wear either a hpb sticker or a koko for prez stiker, so other MBers will know who you are and perform the bob ritual.
But I don’t know if any musebloggers live in my city!
Oh well – i’ll wear the stickers and see what happens…
(39) Generally, this is a poke at people who can’t press the shoft key correctly, and are usually over exciteable.
Correct: I am so excited!
Incorrect: I AM SO EXCIETED!!!1!!1
It is not so much a leet term as it is an internet joke.
Oh, I have another bit of advice for newbies, and since I ‘m going to be off the computer for a while since school is starting, I will post it now.
DO NOT I repeat, DO NOT make your text a blank link so it’s green. I’m not even telling you HOW you do it, just don’t.
Why: Every single time, I scroll over thinking: “Where does this go?”
DDDD:
It’s a bother for the GAPAs also.
And lastly, you aren’t even making it true green, just an empty link. It is super annoying, and if you do it, my pal Gary will reap your mortal soul/organs.
Yeah that’s all.
Who is Chuck Norris?
55: God. Don’t ask. He’s behind you. If you can’ see him, he can see you. If you can see him, then you’re seconds from certain death.
Golden Rule:
If you don’t know, only ask if you’re really curious.
With that pointed out, may I just say that it is not wise to attempt MuseBlog if your IQ is less than or equal to your belt size or age. OK? Good.
P.S. No worries about the death threats, people. They’re just kidding.
P.P.S. I think.
P.P.P.S. Armies of killer ninjas are a good thing.
57-Just kidding? I resent that. All my death threats are absolutely sincere. *slaughters random musers with pies*
54-GARY WILL EAT YOUR EEEEYYYYEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
55-*pies* Sorry. Instinctive reaction.
(55) – Chuck Norris is a ranger on “Walker: Texas Ranger”
He does martial arts in order to defeat bad guys.
We should soooooo add this to the Blog Glossary to prevent people from asking.
Done.
(56) BEST.REPLY.EVER.
61: Thanks. I do my best.
I got threatened to be pied today at lunch.
I wrote pwt pwns on my backpack in wite out, so if for whatever reason you see a navy blue backpack with pwt pwns on it, its probably mine. the problem would be geting someone to see it…
and you should add watership down to the hg2mb, or risk another pie war. I’m serious. CN and WD need to be equal in all things (like cats and dogs).
who is bob? is he the guy we diss? or what?
im so glad that watership down is famous! now everybody go read it, and you will get extra hpb points from me!
No, Joe is the guy we diss. He’s such a stercolini. Bob is my alter ego.
Know who the Librarian is in museica and RETURN YOUR BOOKS ON TIME!!!!!
HAHAHAHA!!!
Today, I said froody, Eleventy-One, and sheep alllll day long.
It really freaked people out.
And it amused them.
(just ignore the sheep part, that’s just me being wierd.)
And today I asked 15 people to hug Bob.
9 of them hugged him.
Isn’t that cool!
w00t!
3 things you should never mention:
Chuck Norris. Just don’t. Lynchings are not fun. Especially if you’re the victim.
Magpies. Touchy issue. I mean, come on.
The word ‘pwease.’ Sometimes, we have problems controlling our gag reflexes.
Hel peoples! Sorry, I havent been on for about two days, computer trouble. Anyways, HEY THERE NEWBIES!!!!!!! Whasup?
*Cough* *Gag* *Bleasahhhhhh* Did you just say pwease???!!! becuase if you did, I would have to pie you insanely for three hours straight with corrot pies that are freezing cold. FREEZING, COLD.
Some things you newbies must know. Ahem,
1. Pieing is highly recommended and sometimes needed.
2. This is NOT A CHATBOARD!!! So posts don’t go through that quickly.
3. GAPA stands for Great and Powerful Administrators. (Mostly Robbert and Rossane)
4. If you are dim-witted, idiotic or SANE, PLEASE LEAVE!!! Only smart insane peoples here. *Phhhttt!!!*
5. If you need help, DON’T HESITATE TO ASSSKKKK!!!!!!
6. Uhhh… When I think of more… I’ll let you know…..
the old hg2mb thread isnt theoretically active anymore, you know… so p*ease change it gapas!
and p*ease is how we say p*ease, since robert doesnt seem to like the w there.
#1…The full lyrics are here:
Chorus:
Lumberjack: I’m the lumberjack and I’m okay
I sleep all night and I work all day!
Mounties: He’s the lumberjack and he’s okay
He sleeps all night and he works all day!
Verses:
L: I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I go to the lava’try
On Wednesdays I go shoppin’ and have buttered sconces for tea!
M: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch, he goes to the lava’try!
On Wednesdays he goes shoppin’, has buttered sconces for tea!
L:I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wildflowers!
I put on women’s clothing and hang around in bars!
M: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps, he likes to press…wildflowers?
He puts on women’s clothing? And hangs around in baaaars?
L: I cut down trees, I wear high heels, suspendies and a bra!
I wish I’d been a girly, just like my dear Papa/Mama! [Not sure which…I alternate between the two]
M: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels?!? Suspendies and….a bra? a bra?
Wants to be a girly, eh? *walk away*
57- I resent your Golden Rule. Not everyone can be me. *pies*
74- umm…. I left out some of the lyrics for a reason……
I just watched a couple monty python’s with my friend yesterday. It was “Albatross” “The undertakers” “the Detective sketch”
and some others. It was pretty funny. duh.
ALBATROSS!!!
Dandilionsarewildflowers: may I help you run the library in Museaica? I think I got kicked out of my job as Featherian Prime Muse.
That was totally random. Sorry.
Hot pink bunnies pwn. End of disscussion.
Arguing is encouraged here.
(79) More along the lines of debate/discussion, not arguing. We’re all musers here! -pies all-
A friend of mine wrote this song. It seems to fit the general Museblog mood.
The Traffic Light Song
(sang to the tune of that Mozart song that goes la la, la la, la lala lala la, la, la la , la lala lala la… you know what I mean)
The light is red, it’s really really red
But it once was green
Now, however, the light is red, it’s really really red, it is extremely red
But it was green green greeeeen, green green greeeeeen green green greeeeeen green
It’s red!
(spoken)
Look, the light changed!
(repeat song, switching red to green and green to red)
Oh, was there a thread for this? Oops. I don’t feel like retyping it, so it goes here. Any comments on the song?
*pies Axa*
Never, EVER mention Chuck Norris or Watership Down. Either one. Ever.
But Watership Down is good!!!!
*pies Elminster*
WHAT HAVE WE JUST TOLD YOU?
Repeat after me:
I
will
never
ever
mention
Chuck
Norris
or
Watership
Down.
I think the question is: what would happen if Chuck Norris was READING Watership Down?
Just for asking this, my fate is sealed.
85- lololol
watershipdownwatershipdownwatershipdownwatershipdown
bricks in the wall, ppls!!!
KA-BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m baaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!
(not that anyone cares, but…)
although I probably have not really been missed (although who knows, maybe there were some ppl. out there who were just pining for my wonderful comments) I wnt to make the announcement that groundhog22 is officially back!!
I have missed you all so!
I am most unfortunately stuck in my much too far away school for most of the time, but I promise to come at least semi-regularly.
ok, now that I have acted totally self centered and all that, I shall keep my hands away form the keyboard for a while.
wow… This thread is dead. Poor little shriveled-up dead thread sitting in a corner. So sad.
*cries*
I so agree! We need to resuscitate/rejuvinate/rebirth this thread.
I’m here! I’m not dead!
I like this thread. Oooh, that rhymes! Must go to bed. Still rhyming! WHEEEE!!!!!
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
Mushroom 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 llama’s
Tastes of llamas
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
*repeats until she collapses*
#93 – The age of the Llama Song is totally over. It’s time we usher in a new era of comedy music – Alapalooza! Llamas cower under the godly power of the Weird One and his accordion!
Also, HG2MB needs more Hitchhiker’s references. Throw in a few “hoopy frood”s or maybe even a “Here I am, brain the size of a planet…” and we’re good.
I’m new so sorry if I seem clueless, but what’s this thread about, anyway?
I can see what it started out as, but…
95 – Most threads turn out becoming something like this crazed randomness eventually. Blech.
hello. goodbye.
AM I THE ONLY SANE PERSON LEFT???
“But I don’t want to go among mad people,†Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can’t help that,†said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.â€
“How do you know I’m mad?†said Alice.
“You must be,†said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.â€
