Forwaaard, MARCH! Part Two
This month’s random thread. Please read The Rules if you haven’t yet.
Mews Nuse, 2006.1
A musepaper for newsers, by popular request (original idea by Kricket, name by Jadestone). We’re not sure whether you want to write news about the places where you live (carefully disguising local names, etc.) or to write news about the blog and the magazine, but we’re sure you’ll sort it out. Double pink-bunny bonus points for writing it in real newspaper style.
Crazy Deeds
A place to record your most memorable acts of wanton lunacy.
[Closed to comments 12 July 2006, because we’ve just opened version 2006.2.]
“Wicked,” the Musical
You’ve been talking about it (and posting its songs) all over the blog. Clearly this cultural phenomenon deserves a thread of its own.
Smiley Practice
Here’s a place to try out tricks with type, new bunny designs, etc., before unleashing your experiments on other threads.
Abandon All Hope Heya, Newbies!
If you’ve just arrived, please read The Rules before doing anything else. The HG2MB is worth glancing at, too. The Administrators and veteran MuseBloggers will be happy to help you with any other questions you might have.
Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!
Theodor Seuss Geisel would have turned 102 on Thursday, March 2. All hail the man who taught so many of us to read!
March 2006 Muse Contest
The challenge: take an Implicit Association Test at www.implicit.harvard.edu and blog about the results. Parts of the thread will be published in the September 2006 issue.
O.K., Musers, it’s all yours…
Muse Movie?
Cedar's idea. Ideas welcome!
Here’s what Cedar says:
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The blog ought to start a section called:
MUSE FANS FOR A KOKOPELLI AND COMPANY MOVIE
This section would be used to allow Muse fans to give out ideas regarding the creation of a film version of “Attack of the Smart Pies.”
Examples:
Who do you think should play a certain Muse?
Descriptions of various houses?
Who should play Emma and Darien Drinkwater?
How bout Ms. Krishnamurti (Yes I know it says Ms. My family dosen’t believe in saying Mrs.)?
And finally:
Tell other people what props you plan to buy and send to the Muse crew, so they have less work to do, in making the ultimate dream come true.
PS: THIS MOVIE IS THE KIND THAT MUSE FANS WILL WANT TO SEE IN THEATERS!
Okey-doke, Cedar, here’s your special section. And a-WAYYY we go!
Round-Robin ‘Riting, v. 2006.1, part 2
The story of the afareet, continued from Round-Robin 'Riting, v. 2006.1, part 1.
The story of the afareet, continued from Round-Robin ‘Riting, v. 2006.1, part 1.
(By the way, in Arabic afareet is plural. The singular is afreet. I’m an afreet, but you all are afareet–in case you want to be technically correct about it.)
MuseBlog historical note: This story started in the blog’s original group-writing experiment, “Round-Robin ‘Riting,” and was revived on “Out with the Old…”
February Phantasmagoria, Part 3
This month's random thread, continued from Part 2. Join the fray!
It seems odd to do this with only two days left in the month, but people are having trouble loading Part 2.
Suggestion Box, v. 2006.1
Got an idea for a new thread topic, blog feature, or ???? Run it up the blogpole, and see who salutes.
Breakfast on Mars
What would you eat if you lived there? Just curious. (Mars bars are off the menu; the GAPAs have dibs on both worlds’ supply.)
Happy Birthday, George Washington and Shotgun #10 (or is it 11?)!
Something old, something new. Many felicitous returns of the day.
Enthusiasm (the Novel)
Has anyone seen Polly Shulman’s Jane-Austen-inspired book yet? Or read it?
Polly says some nice things about MuseBlog on her website, www.pollyshulman.com.
Hot Topics, v. 2006.2
The old one was getting too long, so here's a fresh space for "handle with care" comments.
Pets
A pink-bunny-free zone (unless you have a pet hot-pink bunny).
[Those rosy little devils hop in everywhere. –Admin.]
February Phantasmagoria, Part 2
This month's random thread, continued. [Now closed--continued in part three.]
The original February Phantasmagoria was getting too long. Hope we don’t have to make a Part 3. [We did. –Admin.]
MEET THE MUSES
The Muses will be dropping in on the blog from time to time, so this thread is no longer needed and will be closed to further comments. It's well worth reading, though.
We thought they’d never show up, but Larry Gonick has used his Kokonino County connections to coax them onto the blog. The Web may never be the same. Brace yourselves…
