Dude… :-0
1 – You are hereby warned by PoPoPo #2 to um… er… NOT POPOST! Hehe. I’m not sure if I know you, and you might need to be fined already, but since I’m not sure, I won’t fine you until I know you need to be. But anyway, that was a pointless post.
Whoops. Sorry for the double post, but I forgot to say to the newbies that might find their way to this thread and are probably older than me:
We are so crazy
We are so weird
If you are not, too
We are to be feared!
But if you’re crazy
And you are weird
Welcome aboard, and
Soon
You won’t
Feel as weird
Because we’re weird too
And stuff
But I’m not a very good rhymer
As you can see
And my rhythm is failing right now
So maybe I should just stop this darn poem
*contemplates*
Yeah, I think I’d better
Okay
I will
NOW THIS POEM
IS AT
AN ENNNND
!!!!!!!
Welcome, everyone! Tis Purple Panda! Yay!
I’ll copy and paste my description of some of the MuseBlog stuff that I wrote in the previous thread.
MuseBlog is, as the title suggests, a place where “musers mingle,” and talk about “stuff.” We talk about things in the magazine, and other random things. Every few days there will be a new thread where we can all discuss.
The awesome amazing GAPAs (Great and Powerful Administrators) (or OEADS) (or MAP), who moderate every post before it is shown here. They are: Rosanne Spector, Robert Coontz, Paul Baker, and Rebecca Lasley.
Musers can’t post pictures on the blog, but if you would like a picture to be shown on the blog, you can email it to the GAPAs and they can put it on for you (if they choose to). The January Jubilee thread, part 2 had a lot of pictures of muses that people carved out of soap, and all those pictures were sent to the GAPAs before they were put on the website.
The best way to find out what’s going on here, I think, is to just look around. Read other things on the fan page, read previous threads, etc.
Welcome! *pies*
CTTTTHMV (Common Thread Type Things That Have Many Versions):
–Random threads. Every month there is a new random thread. This month’s thread is called “January Jubilee.” It always shows up at the top of the page when you first come to MuseBlog, and it has a picture with it. The random thread usually has many versions (part 1, part 2, part 3, etc.) I actually made a graph of all the random threads, now that I think of it. Maybe I’ll send it to the GAPAs. Well, anyway, the random threads are random, because no muser could live without a random thread. (Well, we could. no, wait. maybe. Um, hmm. I think I’m just confuzzling myself).
-Discussion threads: Discussion threads were created last year, as an alternative to the random thread. Some musers were getting agitated about the random thread, and how nobody could keep a discussion. So we created discussion threads, (morphing chameleon threads), where we would talk about something, and you had to talk about that thing, not go off on some thing saying, “OMGFIRSTPOSTKEWLIHADAGOODDAYINSKOOLTODAY” Discussion threads sometimes have different versions, but usually there aren’t very many.
-Muse Roll Call/Discussion: Every month, there is a muse roll call and a discussion on that issue of muse. There aren’t (usually) different parts of that, but they occur every month.
-Pie Wars: The continuing pie war never ceases, and every once and awhile there is a new thread for it.
-RRRs: Round Robin ‘Riting is a thread where one person writes part of a story, then another person writes the next part, then another person writes the next part, etc. They’re really fun (although I can never get around to doing it because of stupid homework), and the finished products are really cool.
-Birthday Threads: Every month, there is a birthday thread were every wishes a happy birthday to all musers who have birthdays that month. On the day of each person’s birthday, there is also a thread telling everyone to go to the birthday thread to wish everyone a happy birthday. It’s a museblog tradition to wear the person’s favorite color on their birthday.
-Writing/Reading: There are always Writing, Reading, Poetry, Songs, etc. threads floating around the blog. Musers like literature.
-Money-related: Whenever there are muses for sale on Ebay or there is information about the muser-loves-company store, there is usually a thread about it.
That’s all I can think about at the moment…but I’m sure there’s more.
my sis joined.
yay… i guess.
Cool! Now we have three sets of sisters (that I know of). Violetfire and Jadestone, Taiwan Hippo F(Ph)an and Purple Panda, and Kricket and _______!

purple panda how do you get on the musecast?
On the musecast? Just send something to the GAPAs that you recorded, and we can put it on. I think that’s how it works. GAPAs?
Hi! I am new, so if you must throw pies at me, please make them apple pies.
Thank you Kiki the Great for encouraging me to come to the site!
It’s me again! I have been getting muse since December 1999, but never been here. How do you get to be a popopo?
Welcome, Red-tailed HAWK!!! *pies with apple pie*

Welcome,

Welcome to the Museblog!
We’re sorry,

So come,

And welcome,

*pie*
24- you declare yourself one. And then everyone else ignores you. And your popopoing.
Welcome all. Ebeth hasn’t really been paying attention lately. *pies all* that goes for any she missed last thread too. XD
Where are all of the new MBers? I thought Kiki’s letter would have encouraged a lot of people to come here. Hello?! Newbies? Are you out there?
Yes, I’m a ‘newbee’. Sorry, but I realy would like to know how to ask the GAPAs to post a thread. Thanks! : wink :
Welcome, Gashin! *pies*
The GAPAs post a thread using their special GAPA-powers. You can’t make a thread, but you can request topics.
33-when you find out, you tell me! Gapa’s? WEEEE want to know!:!: Also, here’s your welcome pie. I hope it’s the right kind! Glad to see a ‘newbee’; I just got here a few days ago, so I am still learning the ways of the myoooos-blog! You can probably tell I enjoy extendiiiiiiiiing words.
After reading so much about MuseBlog, I finally decided to come and join!
As you can see, I don’t know how to put smilies in. Help!
33 (Garshin)- -pieifies-
You ask them, nicely. If they think it’s a good idea and/or there’s a lot of Blogger support for it, they’ll make the thread.
Welcome to the Blogiverse, everyone who I have not pied because I am a lazy bumface.
37-go to the bottom of the ‘HG2MB’ page, via the link at the far right of the buttons at the top of all of the pages. There are directions with pictures there. Don’t feel bad if they don’t always work; it’s hard to type exactly the code they want!

HEY!
A lot of MBers seem to have animal names. This could mean that they like animals, meaning there should be a thread where we can talk about weird animal behaviors we have seen, such as the (ahem) Fox! Yes, FOX that I saw running through my neighborhood on monday.
Anyways, what does anyone think?
I hope it’s all right for a sort-of newbie to request a thread! I must say, it seems like I have been a MBer for years.
E.S. (extra post): If any newbies don’t feel like they are being properly welcomed, let me know. We could have a big virtual party, and feather and Koko would come over with virtual donuts and virtual pie.
E.E.S.: I think I will wrap this post up.
E.E.E.S.: Yes, I think I will.
E.E.E.E.S.: I will! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! My longest post
Everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
48 – There was a fox den in the back of the woods behind the park next to my house. My family and I saw the fox about five or six times. Once, my sister was complaining that she wanted to be a vegetarian and then the fox came through the front yard with a bunny in tis mouth. My mom said that being vegetarian was mainly a human thing, as you can see. Twas fr00dy because it was my freind and me who discovered the fox den!
47 – You’ve memorized that? Woah.
Ooo! I was in Greenwitch (UK) for Christmas, and as I was coming off the hill with the ball-drop, and I saw a fox in a thicket.

Hi Spider Plant!
Hi ha!
both of you have cool names
*pies for all*
*welcome jig*
toodles!
Whoa. Lots of newbies seem to be popping up. Well, welcome!
Everyone seems to have been sufficiently pied, but it wouldn’t be polite not too. So, *pies*. I am having a 6 day weekend, so I am exuberantly happy. And my best friend is off on a model UN trip to the capital (she’s representing Belgium, to my supreme amusement), so I’ll probably be here a lot in the next two days. Ok, some advice:
Things not to do:
1. Post pointless things. You will be sought out by the Pointless Post Police.
2. Request a lot of different threads constantly. It gets annoying. Not to discourage requesting threads, but try some existing ones first.
3. Disclosing personal information regarding identity or location. It’s a no no.
4. Cursing. Don’t do it.
5. Flame wars(i.e. getting into a long fight with someone and ending up personally insulting them)
Auhg! *constantly dodging pies*
How do you make smilies, once and for all, and don’t just tell me to read HG2MB, I did (i.e. do you put commands like : wink : in angled bracets, or asterikes or what?

Papai pronounced (Puh-PIE) A super pie of museblogger form made to save time by combining two pies instead of just throwing one after the other. Basically, it’s a double pie-Filled with any sort of flavorful filling you choose. The more flavor-The more POWERFUL!!!

Welcome my friend, Ninja Monkey! *pies*
Umm… hi!
the GAPAs put you on the who’s here list whenever they feel like it. It basically depends on how lazy they are. Sometimes they’ll put newcomers on as soon as they see them, and sometimes they have to be reminded many times before they get around to it. There’s nothing in particular you have to do except nag them until they do it.
*pies all newcomers, and any other random MBers who happen to be within pie-range*
Spider plant is a good name.
Attention, GAPAs! If you put my name on the MBer name list please just put it as Red-tailed HAWK, as that is my name. The other stuff is just a list of my titles, and I am too humble and would be embarrassed if my titles were listed at the who’s here link!
Oops! I just looked, and that’s how you have it! Well, just leave it as it is, then.
Pie, papie, papapie, papie!

Um, hi! I’m new. What going on?
Look at my new title! Hey, GAPAs, can this be how my name is displayed (instead of just Spider Plant)?
Hello, Ninja Monkey! *pies*! Basically, just come, see, and blog (or, of course, conquer)
^_^
(- )-)

82-you don’t need to type the whole thing when people have excessively long names. You generally just need the part of it that’s the actual name (emmatheduck in my case) and sometimes just the initials (ETD for me) if you are feeling especially lazy.
84-*pies ninja monkey* read the rules and the HG2MB if you haven’t alsready. After that, the best way to find out what’s going on is to read the last several posts!
Could I please have my name on the list, please GAPAs?

89-are you new yourself? i don’t remember you. but then i’ve been shamelessly neglecting this thread. Hello all! *pies the whole crazee group*
I’ve just had an idea for a ‘sniper pie’ machine.
You have a long throwing arm with the pie on one end, a motor on the other and under the pie-end, you have an electromagnet, keeping the pie end down while you build up force by running the motor. When you have the desired amount of force (for throwing the pie the appropriate distance) turn off the electromagnet so that the built-up force from the motor, and turn the gear of the motor from geared-down to geared-up as you release the electromagnet so that it sort of ‘trebuchets’ the pie right on to the target from above. They’ll never know or see what hit them… until it’s too late!

Hey! It got all lined up on the wall! It was supposed to be a hawk. The first line was over for the top of his head, then the third line was indented to be his bill and neck, then the next two are fine, then the next one was over a little, the next over more and farther apart for his legs, and the percent sybols over for his feet!
Somehow it all shifted over. It’s probably too late to fix it now.
it’s okay, Red-Tailed HAWK. that happens to me, too. by the way, welcome, newbies! *laughs maniacally* *pulls out splurge gun*
(see Flamablamablous Feb. thread)

Hello, everybody. I am a new Museblogger and- *ducks as pies zoom overhead*- I want to say MOO!
127-You can say MOO if you want. I usually say “keer, keer, keer!” as I’m flying around.
127-Yous ducked?! Pie is goods! *splat–oh–yum!* I’ves been hit! YUM!
By the ways, what is mys normal muse name?
Why should i tell u?
WELCOME EVERYBODY!!!
126 – seriously, there is a whole thread that is just for “guessing” alter egos. https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=624
Can’t you do all this there please?
Have you ever played the “googlewhack” game, simple really you enter two words as unrelated as possible into google, the goal is to get one and only one site in the world with those two words. Mind stretching as they have to be weird and unrelated. I had my first go tonight and “googlewhacked” with “eclectic viborgs”, which lead me to a norwegian site that I could not understand. My second result was with “Philtrums Wodehouse”, which lead me to this site. I am still here an hour later, so congratulations on two counts, you are a googlewhack… a one in three million chance and secondly what an interesting site, although the Wodehouse as in PG was a good sign that I’d be comfotable here. Great Blog, Allison.
Allison (132),
Glad you like it here! There was a fair amount of googlewhacking on the November [2006] Discussion Thread, but I never expected anyone to find us that way.
132- Wait, if you found us from a googlewhack, does that mean you’re not a Muser? Or did you know about us and not bother to look us up even though we were mentioned in 3 consecutive issues now? If you don’t get Muse yet, will you start?
-curious and questioning (who doesn’t usually sign, but I just altered my name again, and there’s a newb here too)
132- wow, we’re a googlewhack! *feels honored* welcome, Allison, here’s your welcome pie! *pies Allison with pumpkin pie*
128- I think I will say MOO because… erm… well… because I… Hmmmm. Okay. I’ll say MOO because I am a person who likes to say MOO. Yay! I figured it out!
Alright, Q for all newbies: Did anyone here come because their mom, sometime after Feb. 24, gave them a napkin with a bunch of information on MuseBlog on it? If so, please tell me…thanks!
googlewhack should be a pie type.
has anyone made a pi pie?
138-What would pi look like if it was a fruit and if it was possible to put it in a pie?
stll new, so I’m not sure if I should thank you for the pie or not. Anyway as I was not expecting a pie I have just washed my hair in honour of my first pie and remembered to duck in future. ( I think??) To answer the question I had no idea who or where you were, as to me in a nutshell, reside Cheshire England, favourite Author PG Wodehouse, Poet Phillip Larkin, Composer Rachmaninov, Artist Tom Waits. Maybe it took a googlewhack to introduce us.. thanks for the lovely welcome and the pie.
