MuseBlog

Sometimes known as the “incredible morphing chameleon thread,” this forum tries to stay on topic longer than the random threads do. Newcomers should read The Rules and The Guide before plunging in.

Current topic: Philosophy?
North Korea
Communism
Sailing
The end of the world
Circuses / circus type things?

If you’ve just arrived and are feeling bewildered, here’s your haven. Step inside for a warm MuseBlog welcome and a virtual pie (in the face–don’t be alarmed, it’s the custom here).

Please read The Rules. You might also glance at The HG2MB (Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog).

HELLO NICE NEW HUMANS MUSEBLOG IS NOW LOVELY PINK BUNNYBLOG ALL NEW HUMANS MUST OBEY BUNNIES

(That’s Round-Robin ‘Riting, for the uninitiated.)

Including home-school projects. By special request of iwanttobeamuffin, who is working on a project about Tornado Alley.

It’s been more than a year since we started the first “Ask the GAPAs” thread. Since then the number of Administrators on the blog has doubled, and we’re sure your questions have more than kept pace. So fire away. As before, we promise to answer entertainingly, or not at all.

Users’ Manual: Obey The Rules. Consult The Guide. Have fun!

Posted per the plea of Piggy the Proud Patholic, um, Catholic.

A place to, yes, discuss the April 2007 issue of Muse. Spoilers allowed–and, indeed, inevitable.

Tell us (and the world) when your issue arrived. No spoilers, please.

MuseBlog does not encourage non-virtual meetings. If you’re going to organize them, be careful. The best way to plan them is for your parents to communicate with one another by e-mail. We’ll put them in touch with one another if they will e-mail us (gapa @ musefanpage.com). Meanwhile, you can use this thread for headcounts and other preliminary planning.

Chicagoland crowd: We’ve asked people at Muse headquarters about a possible tour for you. Stay tuned…Sorry–not this spring break!

GOOD NEWS! The people at Carus Publishing say they can give a tour. If you stop by on Tuesday or Thursday after 10 and before 4, you can meet the magazine’s art director and designer. If you come in the morning, the photo researcher will be there, too. Just let us know if and when, and we’ll pass the word on to them.

You know what we’re talking about: things that, for no good reason, you enjoy having around, being around, or doing. We thought this thread would make a nice antidote to all the kvetching on the discussion thread.

GO, TEAM!

An uncharted island has been discovered by Museicians: Pie Isle.
Here’s a place to tell what’s happening there.

All caught up, for now!

The Fan Page maintains a list of contents of back issues of Muse. We’ve let it fall ‘way behind, though, because blogging is so time-consuming (and, to be honest, a lot more fun).

Last summer, in response to a call for help, some stalwart MBers pitched in and recorded the contents of all issues up to July/August 2006. We’ll be posting those soon (honest!). Meanwhile, we’ve slipped behind again and need your help in recording the following issues for Muserly posterity:

September 2006 [thanks, Davidude!]
October 2006 [Davidude again]
November/December 2006 [Davidude yet again]
January 2007 [also Davidude]
February 2007 [looks like an all-DD series]
March 2007 [yep!]
April 2007 (coming soon!)

Wheelbarrows full of hot-pink-bunny points to any and all who come to our aid.

Many thanks,

Your disorganized GAPAs

Making it, listening to it, appreciating it–just not hating it, please. Let’s try to keep this thread upbeat (so to speak).

Continued from version 2007.1.

Life on PPP right now seems to consist of a vigorous and exciting Soccopelli game. You can review the game so far on Life on PPP, Part 4.

(In case you have trouble reading the second one on your monitor, here’s what it says.)

1. Because everyone would get free pies.
2. Because everyone would have to be stick figures.
3. Because everyone would have to shave their head except for 6 black hairs.
4. Because there would be free pie throwing contests every day.
5. Because his head would look so cool on a coin.
6. Because he would give up all nuclear weaponry in favor of pies.
7. Because it would be funny to see who he’d choose as a first lady (Aeiou? Mimi? URANIA?)
8. Because he would make sure that music programs weren’t cut from schools.
9. Because he’s black, a cartoon character, and skinny. Minorities, people!
10. Because I said so.
