Hi Myrna
Well, lessee how this works.
oh noes now I can't send sekret chate PMs
hi Jim
I've actually had a productive morning with chate down.
I'm still swimming in harmony. I'm still dreaming of flight. I'm still lost in the waves night after night...
Do you have an idea or an article you would like to see on the Electric Elephant? Email me at theelectricelephant(at)gmail.com!
But but but.. Pepper, that's totally against what we stand for!
Slowly but it can do the trick. Sadly I need to run though.

But it's a dry cold. That makes it better.
My Tara cat has decided that she will only drink and eat out of our kitchen bowls. Her cat dish is so far below her she won't even deign to look at it.

Inconveniently, chat is down on a day when I'm doing a long, slow task at work that involves a lot of waiting for my computer to get things done.
Meet Bella Swan: http://community.livejournal.com/ljs...778#t171950778
I am Bella Swan. I'm not a Mary-Sue, my emotions are real, my vampire family isn't lame, and none of them is pairing off with anyone but their lifemates. I am truly sorry that the woman who wrote down my story isn't as talented as you all would like her to be, but please dear god stop blaming it on me.
PS. Stop giving yourself usernames like "Edwardsgurl." You're not. So you know, he hates people who purposefully misspell in order to get a certain name.
PPS. Feel free to call me crazy if you like, but be aware that there are many, many others who come from places that have been written down in "fiction." It's a rather common phenomenon, really, from what I can gather. I've accepted the weirdness of this situation.As for me, I'm... not that whiny. >.< There are things in the books that drive me crazy, because I can't see myself thinking/saying them in any universe. Like hating that Jacob imprinted on my daughter. If I had a daughter and Jacob imprinted on her, I would love that. It kills me, because Ms. Meyer so often gets me right. She just... goes too far, I think.I'm using someone's else's body right now, not my own. Some people call it a "channel." Like... Ms. Meyer had a channel to my universe, to me, and so does this person. I have no idea; all this quantum theory is kinda over my head. I'm good at school, not theoretical physics. I know that I can see what's happening at home sometimes, but not all the time. Sometimes when I'm there, I know about this place. It's like dreams I've had.
I'm just thankful that I found people on the internet in my same situation. I'm going to respect their privacy, though, and not point you toward them. I've met people from all sorts of popular and unpopular "fictional sources"... they all seem to be like me, from a different universe and using someone else's body. I've met at least three Draco Malfoys, each from a separate universe. I only know about him from being here, hehe; we don't have the Harry Potter series in my world (or, if we do, it's not popular enough for me to know about it).
Well that livejournal poster is somewhat pathetic.
That's amazing. I wonder if she's ever been to the Astral Plane? Has she met Snape's Wives? Does she know that Zachary Quinto can also "channel" himself into the bodies of fangirls (and no I don't even mean that as dirty as it sounds).
Leonard Nimoy wrote in I Am Spock that a young lady once informed him that Spock was real and he had "chosen" Nimoy to act as a conduit to bring the greater Vulcan truths (and the awesomeness of Spock) to the human masses.

pepper, we need to do a crazy fandom thread one of these days
I feel like I'm stumbling around the place blind without chat. I post something and then I'm all, "I should post a link in chat! I want instant gratification!"
Oh, how spoiled I've become.
Have you tried going to the bathroom with a space heater at your feet?
Fess up, who broke chat?! It's a freaking snow day and I can't mess around in the chatroom!?
I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.
God did it.
So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
Goddammit God-waitaminute!
ARE YOU SAYING IT'S MY FAULT?!
I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.
well poop
In other news, last night I dreamt I made a pot of tomato soup and poured it down the drain. I woke up this morning very upset with myself and had to count the number of cans of soup in the kitchen to make sure it was just a dream.
I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.
I hate when I have dreams like that and I have to reality check myself.
Last night I dreamed I was going to kill some people!
Um...they deserved it, though.
Slate, on sex robots: "could a real woman's role in the bedroom become obsolete?"
Seriously, guys? Seriously? How do you write something that sexist and not notice? The worst part is the author is a woman.
Well that's all right then. You know, it's my hope that chatting inthread will curb myrna's impulses to post lots of boring pictures about capybaras.
Wow. I think that was the stupidest article I've ever read on Slate.
The whole Roxxxy thing is pretty stupid anyway, to be honest. It's basically a chat bot inside of a really ugly sex doll. That's it. I doubt it's even a very good chat bot. Why oh why would you focus on making a sexbot talk instead of move?
I can't see the point in a sex doll even if they were way more realistic than we could possibly create, so don't ask me to explain it.
Also: the latest installment of the pedo furor is pretty interesting: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/...d.php?t=551235
Wow. It really has become the pedo board. Or else they've left themselves open to a whole bunch of pedophile-pretending trolls. Either way, well done!
I would never suggest a google bomb linking pedos with the SDMB but only because they are doing such a fine job of it themselves. Somebody already pointed out that Message board + pedo on google has a SDMB hit on the first page.

...huh. I did not expect this, but that thread actually made me feel bad for a pedophile. I hope Pduol is able to find some peace in his life.
Pepper, aren't they great at building that brand? The pedophile dope board. An advertiser's dream come true.
Does anyone see any ads there that aren't for GB or the snarkpit anymore?
I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.
Have they put out an "at least we don't have pedophiles" GB ad yet?
I haven't seen one. I'm still giggling over the "For all day freshness down there" ad.
I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.
That and the get a lawyer ad which makes me nervous, frankly. Why does it think I need a lawyer? Does GoogleAds know something I don't?
Can we take away her ability to post pictures?
