The full and awesome glory of TK's percipience
We should all read Where am I in Brainstorms by Dan Dennett for an interesting exploration of the possibility that we may not always be who, where, and what we think we are. I find TK's blocks philosophically interesting for the appearance of wholly unrelated socks piloted by different people variously and inconsistently listed as the same person depending on the circumstances. Is it deceit, sloth, or some magical augery only TK possesses? If the latter, perhaps we're merely brains in vats switched from simulation to simulation such that each of us might, for some brief moment, inhabit the the "person" of JessicaT. Or is it rather more like Being John Malkovich where people who "get it" can take turns piloting an internet persona? Who knows. All that's clearly emerging so far is that TK may have a special and powerful insight. For your part you might never knew you were JessicaT in the first place if TK didn't wish it, so you should be thankful he let you in on the secret. 18:36, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I love that explanation! Thank you! Have to agree though, especially when you notice that JPatt (who doesn't have checkuser) blocked poor old Jess because of her IP address. Clearly, he has suckled richly at Terry's cock teats. Wouldn't mind being in a Japanese girl for a day... wait... let me rephrase that (gomen! Kotomi)... think I'd look awesome in a sailor suit *g*. If only he'd told me sooner, I would have taken out timeshare in her mind. --PsyGremlinWhut? 18:43, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorr - eh
Moving to Japan, eh? For the chick-as? 11:56, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I lurve the smell of rotten eggs in the afternoon. Lol - let's just say I've already planned my route around Akihabara to take in as many maid cafes as possible. There's something special about cute oriental girls saying, "Welcome, Master." Then again, as a recent traveller told me, the best way to pick up Japanese girls is "to not look Japanese". In Shinjuku (the clubland) you have to pry them off with crowbars apparently. To which I say... "yes, please."
 * Yes, the picture of the three nice young ladies on your userpage makes me want to go to Japan too... although I can't stand anime (apart from Pokemon), it freaks me out way too much. 15:59, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, I'll have to keep you away from my collection then... there's probably some lurking in there that could damage you :) and others that will have you falling off your chair laughing. It's all good, in the end. Plus, there's enough closet otaku on here to convert you... heh heh heh... --PsyGremlinWhut? 16:12, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Agree about Akiba too - no trip to Tokyo would be complete without a trip there. saw a great documentary on it a while back - 24 hours in Akihabara (or something) where they follow a bunch of otaku around and look at various store owners. very good. --PsyGremlinWhut? 10:33, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Bunchanumbas vandal bin
"Unfunny vandalism?" I thought his insights "Ass Cocksucker" were quite the height of wit. 17:53, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, ok, I confess... I vandal binned him 'cos it's 'arse' not 'ass'... that always gets my goat up. In a manner of speaking, of course. Luckily, my goat doesn't talk. --PsyGremlinWhut? 18:03, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Everyone thinks we're posh for saying "arse". I just say everyone else is common. The fact that there's no such thing as a talking goat entirely disproves evilution, because if it was real, goat's by now would be able to talk! 18:10, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, they could possibly talk, mine is just very aware of what I will do to it, should it ever spill the beans about that night behind the shed talk. --PsyGremlinWhut? 18:14, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought you just liked cute Japanese girls, but now you like goats too?! Actually, I'm not surprised at all. 18:20, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I blame Human and Genghis for the goats thing. Cute Japanese girls are a bonus however... once the goat smell wears off. --PsyGremlinWhut? 18:23, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Suggestion: put one of those "history of vandalism" thingies on the talk page of sandbox.  This is going to be classic.   18:25, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Psygremlin, I have sent thee a highly unimportant email. Thieh, my fave moronic Conservapedia vandalism is the abstinence article "it doesn't always work; Mary tried it and got pregnant anyway." 18:28, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

The fun don't stop at moving
Ideally when something is moved from one name space to another the incoming links are updated and the redirect gets deleted. That is why the job really sucks. tmtoulouse 17:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't we have a redirect fixing bot? Nx (talk) 17:38, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah... I shall get cracking then. er... when you say "incoming links"... you mean? Um... only for broken redirects I think--PsyGremlinWhut? 17:40, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The "what links here" option on the side tool bar, you can ignore things that are in archives or talk pages. And I am not aware of a bot that we have running to update incoming links. tmtoulouse 17:41, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No wait, that one only fixes double redirects. Nx (talk) 17:42, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Apology
I, Psygremlin, being of dubious sanity, hereby formally, and without reserve, apologise for my disparaging remarks about hip-hop music. It is indeed a valid form of musical expression (whereas Britney never will be) and it's fans and followers (especially those on this site), are fine, upstanding people. Hip-hop is cool music and I was wrong to say otherwise. --PsyGremlinArnold J Rimmer lookalike winner 1998 09:38, 8 August 2009 (UTC) PS Isn't using music as a form of torture against the Geneva Convention?
 * I hope you learned something. There are too many rap genres and performers to lump it all together. I personally really despise West Coast gangsta rap. The content aside, I don't admire the repetitive samples and boring beats. I much prefer, and I think you'll find Ace does too if you look at the rap tracks we trade on our talk pages, the more "intellectual rap" from both coasts. There are important collectives of artists in Oakland, LA, and New York who incestuously work together. So if you follow up on, say, A Tribe Called Quest, on Wikipedia, you'll find a ton of people associated with the Native Tongues collective making vaguely similarly inspired music. Lately I've been really interested in going back to what I can only call super-nerdy stuff from the earlier part of this decade. Stuff from Del the Funkee Homosapian always pleases. He works with a stack of people from Oakland under the Hieroglyphics and other names. Geeky stuff from guys like Kool Keith always does it for me too. Hope you enjoy. 01:16, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "Fear of a Black Planet" (title?) is a classic on par with Sgt Pepper and Exile on Main Street. So is "Freedom of Speech (watch what you say)".  Very old school, but yeah.  01:33, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree, west coast gangstar rap is pathetic. Its got nothing on lyricist lounge. Ace McWickedModel 500 01:34, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm probably going to sound like an ignoramus - but would The Streets (1st album only - rest was crap) fall into this genre? I also remember liking PM Dawn. Feel free to flame away. --Psy - C20H25N3OYou know you want to 17:32, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Cute Asian girls...
I was on the bus this fair morn and a cute Asian girl got on, and remembering your fetish I made a mental note to tell you.

That is all. 13:18, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Whatever. He likes cute Asian girls. If he's anything like me he'll be delighted to see a yellow shiny box that says "You have new messages". I'm over the moon, even when I got that one from Nutty Roux that said he'd rip off my head and shit down my neck. 15:10, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Kwestion 4 a krat
I was gonna ask $\pi$ as he was involved with this user the other day, but as you're online now and a crat...

[|This user] inserted a funny but obscene comment onto WIGO CP talk. Someone (probably this user but using a different IP) wrote it all over Toast's talkpage three nights ago which is what sparked off that big debate about TOR IP editing. Anyhoo, basically what I'm asking is do you think this guy should be vandal binned or not, as he said it on community property rather than to a specific user.

Sorry to be boring. To lighten the mood, thing about a penguin flossing... can't do it, can it? No teeth! 17:50, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Er... *eyes start to bleed* gurk
 * Um... as for the question, I have no problem with using the vandal brake on BONs, regardless of where they post. Wandalism is wandalism. Then again, that could be a throwback to my Karajou sock on CP... blocking people is better than sex sometimes... especially when you aren't getting laid. Karajou, I mean... not me... --Psy - C20H25N3OYou know you want to 17:59, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
