Blog
Nutty tells me you have linked "my" blog to yours. Just a heads up that it isn't my blog, I have never had a blog and never plan to. A friend of mine and I were thrashing around interesting names awhile back when we were going to a party that we were not invited. I was Ace McWicked and he was Handsome B. Wonderful. He, later, used my name as a blog ID. Just a heads up. Acei9 18:49, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Saw this, thought of you...

 * "I'd crawl to you baby
 * And I'd fall at your feet
 * And I'd howl at your beauty
 * Like a dog in heat
 * And I'd claw at your heart
 * And I'd tear at your sheet
 * I'd say please, please
 * I'm your man."

 * And here I thought I was the only Leonard Cohen fan in the world. ;D --Kels (talk) 03:08, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Aw, Kels, I have a long history of gettin' my heart broke by LC fans--the "I like you as a friend" girl, the librarian, the English major, a couple of others. Finally found one who could put up with my shit though. Mrs. Practice loves him....
 * I saw about half of that concert early new year's morn on my local PBS. Not only does the old geezer still have all his chops, but the story could have been written by him (touring to make money because his accountant or whoever stoled all his money).  04:04, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Famous Blue Raincoat's my favourite . (Not really got a favourite: I like love almost all of him)

 * Have y'all heard "Arthur Smith Sings Leonard Cohen"? Magic! If anyone knows where it can be downloaded please tell. 10:10, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Just so you know, Leonard Cohen is getting a lifetime achievement Grammy tonight. Good for him, he deserves it. --Kels (talk) 17:04, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

user 188
You asked somewhere (can't be arsed looking for it now) who user 188 here was. It was some character called User:Jeb2, who did stuff on 5 July 2007 for all of 16 minutes and then returned whence s/he came. User 189, though, was Pi. Totnesmartin (talk) 18:48, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I've got: 188	 22:18, 7 July Terikion Spics (whose one contribution was: 22:19, 7 July 2007 (hist) (diff) User:Tmtoulouse ‎ (Replacing page with 'FROG') and Pi not Π at 181. See here 19:04, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oops, I must have miscounted in the user creation log - i was counting back from 241 (mine) and they're not numbered... Totnesmartin (talk) 19:10, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, there must be some missing or summat!. 19:21, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Pi is user 188 actually. The user creation log is missing the first 7 entries, so Kels, who is user 7, appears first. New user log was an extension before and was probably not installed at first. -- Nx  / talk 19:23, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If you look @ my list, you'll see I've allowed for Kels being u 7. 19:26, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Seems that Pi was/is someone we know 19:33, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Some ids are not assigned to any user, e.g. user 61 doesn't exist. Anyway


 * -- Nx  / talk 20:02, 4 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Removed by someone - obscene or similar before we had "rename user"? 20:05, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Possibly, although removing a user is only possible if they have no edits (or the edits are reassigned to another user). -- Nx  / talk 20:07, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Minor
I prefer to flag my edits as minor unless they are genuinely important. I will stop if it bothers you. Dark Matter Glaucopis (talk) 22:40, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Minor normally refers to typos, spelling & such small stuff. Any comment or edit that might be of interest to anyone else shouldn't be flagged minor. No harm done. 22:50, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Welcome!
You're now a member of the "Dried Up Old" club! You're a biddy, and I'm a cunt, according to the master sociopath, TK. Nice to see he's consistent in his misogyny. --Kels (talk) 02:14, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Originally here, several times I'm flattered by being in any club with one of the talented! 02:25, 15 February 2010 (UTC)


 * The talented? You mean there's a third member of the club?  ;D --Kels (talk) 03:30, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * False modesty, while appealing, is not warranted, we've all seen your stuff. 03:32, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hah! Well, I've been looking at French comics and animation all evening, so I compare myself pretty low.  But I'll get better, in the fullness of time (to make an obscure Lensman reference). --Kels (talk) 03:34, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Moon landing
I see someone doesn't like Moon landing deniers, haha. The whole idea strikes me as ridiculous - what do they have to gain by asserting that we never landed on the Moon? Even something as crazy as creationism has a motive: Biblical inerrancy is essential to the moral system that fundamentalists base their lives on, so they must protect its legitimacy. The anti-Moon landing people, however, don't really gain anything from their belief. So why do they do it? Attention? Perhaps, but that doesn't explain why they actually believe in such bullshit to begin with. In any case, they're pretty damn annoying. Not really sure where I'm going with this rant, but there you have it. 02:47, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * What gets me is that they think that the combined governments of the world have some sort of agenda and the ability to fool everyone. One thing governments are is porous - since the 60s there would have been so many leaks, we'd have known, not just a few suspected. Wazzocks! 02:53, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If there is an agenda, I have no idea what it would be. What the hell do they gain from pretending that we landed on the Moon? It's not like doing so increased government control in any way. I'm puzzled as to the motive. (Because, let's face it, all conspiracy theories and woo have some sort of a motive). 02:58, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * [[image:Face.gif]] I've no idea: just that "people are lying to us" - persecution complex? 03:06, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Most woo misters and conspiracy theorists seem to be in it for the money; flogging dodgy books, dvds and woo related products. They rely on people picking this stuff up and running with it, most people are meme-carriers for the bullshit merchants. 03:09, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * there would have been some sound political reasons for ensuring success. With JFKs challange and the cold war with Russia an American failure may have been destabilizing. What I find as supporting evidence suggestive of a fake program is the lack of dead astronouts on the moon or in space. Its not great or even good evidence but it seems odd when compared to other projects of similar newness. Hamster (talk) 16:36, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Sleeper
Hi there. I was wondering, what did you mean when you commented on my talk that you thought I might be a sleeper? Cheers, Tweety (talk) 11:38, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Good. 11:39, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * What? Tweety (talk) 11:45, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * She meant that, unlike some editors here, you might actually get sleep now and then. 11:48, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Look Tweety, we all know you are a cyber-terrorist waiting to strike. Have you unleashed your secret plan yet? 11:48, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I approve that endeavour of yours. I was disgusted to find that for 2 years "England" redirected to the UK article. 17:42, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Cat
Sorry to hear about your feline friend. Acei9 20:52, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * My condolences, Toast. 22:41, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm really sorry. That sucks. P-Foster (talk) 23:17, 6 April 2010 (UTC) (and Spike and That Coyote)
 * Just spotted that too. I lost a cat recently as well. Sorry for your loss. 13:58, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks all. A bit trivial, I know, but she'd been my companion for 12 years, often my only companion. There's a lot of nasty going on in my life @ the moment and this just put the fucking lid on it. 14:02, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * condolences on the loss of your little friend. Totnesmartin (talk) 14:04, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

 * It isn't trivial at all. Cats are very important. I want to express my condolences. 18:22, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Me too. Hope you're OK.   18:38, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree, cats are far from trivial, esp. when you've had them for 12 years. 11:11, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm kind of new at this. What's the "approved" thing to do with talk page comments like ? Delete it and interrupt the subsequently-developed conversation? alt (talk) 22:08, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Known, and warned about, side effect of medication which has now been amended. Been getting worse for a while. Went totally deaf on 19 - 21 Mar. Doc says it might clear up soon or never.  Apparently C cells are not dissimilar to the hair cells & my meds paralyzed them. Told effect will wear off in about 3 months. Fun!  01:45, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Shit, sorry to hear that. Acei9 02:02, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't matter, I'm alive & reasonably happy. Lessee March&mdash;April: #1: gone deaf; #2: partner's mother died (she was 91); #3: cat died; #4: new meds = back on zero booze.

 * Thanks all. When on a downer I always think of my three first boyfriends: one died at 29, second at 40 and the other at 50. Vic died in a motor cycle race crash, but Cyril was a scratch golfer and Chris a fairly athletic cricketer. I just think how lucky I am to still be here in whatever state of health: count your blessings type of thing. 19:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I express similar sentiments to those above on a late, but no less diminished in meaning basis. You're an amazing gal, Toast. Not a lot could put up with the kind of stuff you've been through. 20:44, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Loya Jirga roll call
Totnesmartin plans to retire from the Loya Jirga, so we're holding a by-election to determine his replacement. We need to know if anyone else has left the LJ, so could you stop by and give a holler? 02:05, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Who died & made you Queen? 07:09, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * T'was Totnesmartin's idea to hold a special election and Human's idea to pester the .  07:20, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * But not my idea for RA to impersonate Brenda. Or even, um, that funny lady on QI. Or Peter Davies.  Hi Toastie.  You know your talk page still says "retired", right?  07:22, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Necessity makes strange bedfellows. 07:23, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Lime Jelly voting
Ello there. You voted in the famous Lumpy Jerboa bi-election, but there's some confusion as to who voted and who just commented. If you only intended to comment, can you modify your post on the RationalWiki:May 2010 Loya Jirga by-elections by adding a strikethrough tag to it? e.g.

My earlier comment

You can leave your post as is if you were actually voting.
