Hi everybody! My name is spiderleaf and I am forming my own clique here at BooTrib… why you may ask? Well because currently I am not a member of any of the multitudes of cliques on this site and it’s pissing me off… so I figured it’s best to just take the initiative and start my own… be the change you seek and all…
So… what are some of the benefits of joining my clique? Ummmm… hmmmm… not quite sure yet, but I do promise to always hand out 4’s… well… unless you piss me off and then I’ll just not rate you at all… this may not seem like much of a benefit, but trust me, you’ll thank me when I just respond to one of your comments and not give you a 0, call you an asshole and walk away…
Other than that, I’ll have to work on it and get back to you…
Now on to the responsibilities and rules associated with the clique of spiderleaf…
- I am always right… except when I’m wrong…
- If I’m wrong, please argue with me… but don’t call me a name or I will be forced to respond in kind… or just walk away and go watch some hockey or move into a different thread… depends on the Maple Leafs schedule actually… maybe I’ll post that too so you can all know what to expect
- You must recommend all of my diaries… unless you don’t think they’re very good (not likely, but just in case)
- You must respond to all my comments with a “thank you oh wise one”… unless all I’ve posted is a picture of Damian Marley and a bottle of Red Stripe… in which case a 4 is the more appropriate action
- If I ask you to troll rate me DON’T DO IT (well, unless you are Anomalous… always an exception to the rules you see…)
- When referring to Markos, you must call him “Kostradamos”… but put a smiley face beside it and be glad we aren’t forced to post on LGF or FreepRepublic… and that no one forces anyone to post on the Orange site… (especially not if you’ve been banned, which I am sorry about, but as I’m not all powerful I can’t really help you out…) or here (well, except for members of the clique of spiderleaf…)
- Conspiracy theories are your friend… especially ones involving the Illuminati (well, that’s just my own personal obsession, you are free to find your own of course…)
- Ductapefatwa is our patron saint… unless he’s being cranky in which case please just read his words, take them in and then move on… we all have something to learn from those who speak uncomfortable truths
- Bushco is the enemy… our fellow posters are not
And the last, but the most important one is this…
Read these two diaries and take them to heart… or don’t… not really a hard and fast rule or anything… just a suggestion… (darn, it’s hard making up rules for my clique, maybe I should have given this all some more thought…)
The Two Wolves Within and Tumbling Waters
And while you’re at it please consider reading On Community Conflicts as well.
Oh… one final thought… since this is a “kinder, gentler” clique, please add your own suggestions for rules (or benefits… I actually think I need the most help with those…) in the comments (keeping in mind of course that this is my clique and I’d appreciate if it had something to do with me… or not, I’m a benevolent dictator you see… 😉
yes, this is snark since I find the whole “clique” stuff quite ridiculous. 😉
I see you found your snark, I am most overjoyed.
Oh wise one, spidey, I was hoping there would be a clique that I could join because not only am I not included in any of the current ones, I am so dense I don’t even know about the current ones except some folks keep saying they are here. I figured they must be sort of like “Frog secret agent groups” because I can’t seem to find them let alone belong to them.
But I have a problem that I can’t seem to overcome. I don’t join groups (the reasons should be obvious), I don’t form groups, I don’t play well within group structures, and no groups will have me (all obvious I think). Oh, and I am really bad on rules, except the one about respect. I do try to keep that one.
So, I wish you well with your clique, and even if I am not a member, can I still get one of the official Spiderleaf Clique clickers? I know I can’t have the secret decoder ring, but just the clicker would mean so much to me.
Ummmmmmmmmmm
I wanted to be in the spiderleaf clique just because I hate cliques.
It can be the non-conformist society… Steve Martin wrote the oath…
And now, let’s repeat the Nonconformists’ Oath:
I promise to be different!
[audience] I promise to be different!
I promise to be unique!
[audience] I promise to be unique!
I promise not to repeat things other people say!
[audience] murmer mumble
Good!
brian: no, no, you are all unique!
vast multitude outside his window: yes, yes, we are all unique!
one lone wimpy voice: i’m not…
that would have me as a member.
clique on…
I’ll join your clique, spidey! Maybe you could offer us home-baked chocolate chip cookies instead of 4s, though?
Only if you bake them… remember this spider can’t cook… 🙂
Did I mention that they’re making these really cool peanut butter and chocolate swirled chips to put in the cookies? And we bought a bag last night? 🙂
…that serves macaroons?
😉
psst…
I heard that Supersoling’s clique has LOT’S of maccaroons. Shhh
psst..psst hey buddy, it’s me again. Listen, if you see a guy carrying around a bunch of cheescake…well let me put it this way. Remember that fake turkey that Bush held up for the photo op so that everyone would join his clique? You put two and two together. Yuuuup!
Shhh
that’s for amateurs, I also carry hot chocolate for emergency lurker sightings
<looks around>
Yoo tawkin ta meee?
Yoo tawkin ta mee?
Problem I always had with that Bush thing… I could NEVER figure out how to write a caption that wouldn’t confuse people about which was which, y’know? As soon as you throw in the words “fake turkey” you’re kinda scrod…
SNORT!
Thank you, oh, wise one, but I wouldn’t be a part of any clique that would have me as a member! 😉
So, tell me I can’t join and I will fight you tooth and nail to be able to – deal?
You are the snarkgoddess, spidey!
You got it… get out of here Brinn, you rabble rouser you!
😉
Right, then!
I WILL be a part of this clique and those of you who don’t like that idea can just not let the door hit you in the ass on the way out and STFU while you’re going too!
And I had BETTER NOT hear about any of you in this clique calling me “bad” names or criticizing me in any way shape or form, I mean, not that I really care anywya, you know, I am above and impervious to such things, but you’d better make sure I don’t hear of it anyway…
Lessee, what else? Oh, yeah, spiderleaf can make all the rules that she wants to, I’m not going to follow any of them, even if I agree with them, it’s the principle of the thing!
big ole pfffttt to you all!**
**please recognize this as snark, or have we all lost our sense of humour?
Dammit! I knew I should have left that “benevolent dictator” phrase out… ah hell, this clique is already going to hell in a handbasket… it’s anarchy I tell ya!
let kansas stage her coup, the anarchy WILL self organize and then you get to bitch about it too! 😉
I was looking for something to bitch about since my clique forming seems to be going better than expected! 😉
I knew you were, please feel free to consult me for a list, should you need more!
😉
I just hate it when that happens!
Must return now to busily plotting secret coup to advance anarchist dreams. Who’s with me?! Still nobody??? I am about to advance whining to an artform.
I am about to advance whining to an artform.
There’s already a clique for that, and they’re called “Republicans”. 😉
I sense a conspiracy….I’m in.
Honey, it will be impossible for the door NOT to hit me in the ass if spiderleaf gives us cookies instead of fours…
self-banning even before having been a member of the clique!
Brinnaine, you’re the fastest!
I thought I was always in your clique. Damn, I’m still cliqueless.
well darn it all to hell Carnacki, I had a clique and I didn’t even know it… is it really a clique tho’ if it was just the two of us? 😉
So I was cliqueless and clueless.
Cliqueless in Seattle–sounds like a good title for something.
Oh, that’s right. You’re in . . .
Hmmm. Clueless in West Virginia doesn’t quite scan. Sorry, Carnacki, you’ll have to move west.
all this time I thought you were our leader of the vampire coven that haunts the dark corner of the frog pond. Now what am I supposed to do with the cape and fangs…
sigh
Magic tricks? 😉
I’m not sure if I am cool enough to join your clique. Am I?
If I do join, I think we should have a rule involving daily minimum chocolate consumption.
If so I would say you are cool enough to join.
<rolling up sleeves>
Yes. I would.
5 tons enough of a threshold?
Individually that might be a bit much. Collectively, we can probably handle it.
I can pick my friends and I can pick nose and when my friend is a quadraplegic back from Iraq I can pick my friend’s nose!
I’m staging a coup and taking your clique away from you!
But, but. . . there’s nobody following me. . .
Sigh. What could be more humiliating? Can I get back in your clique, pleeeease?
Only if you buy me some beer… (I’m easy to bribe you see…) 😉
Very easy ;o)
would like to remind that you are already in a clique with a benevolent despot whose overthrow should be your principle concern and that plotting coups against some other tyrant instead of her is the height of disloyalty.
ha ha…I was thinking along these same lines because after all for a clique to feel important they must have someone against them so my idea is to start my own Anti-Clique Clique. All members must pretend they are not in a Clique while constantly talking down other cliques-isn’t that how it works?
will always have shinier and more manageable hair, even when most, if not all of it has assumed its spirit form.
And our clique also gets perfect rice every time.
…and our check IS actually in the mail.
It’s not easy being us but someone has to do it.
CLIQUE?
Oh! I thought she said Clinique! I needed some new lipstick.
I need more than that! Tho I post mostly on kos, I do visit here sometimes….but can definitely use more clinique than cliques…
But if I join can I bring wine or tea instead of cookies?
btw where are the membership lists – so I can send Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanza/Solstice/whotheheckcares cards to them?
am never cranky. I am occasionally crotchety, and almost every day is some kind of occasion.
Thank you spiderleaf for this great honor, and I hope you will not shirk your responsibility to teach all clique members the Canadian national anthem.
It is very different from the US national anthem in that it does not suck, and also that it can be sung by people who are not Kiri Te Kanawa.
I really didn’t expect I’d actually have some responsibilities here too…
Oh Canada
Our home and native land
True patriot love
In all thy sons command [btw, there has always been an ongoing controversy about the “sons” part, so it’s still a work in progress…]
With glowing hearts
We see thee rise
The true north strong and free
From far and wide
Oh Canada
We stand on guard for thee…
WTF? No rockets red glare? No bombs bursting in air?
What kind of a pinko pacifist national anthem is that?
to issue commands to ladies.
And I don’t think you squeaked enough on that last “theeeee.”
Are clique members required to like maple products? I hope not. I do not love maple syrup. I prefer Hero brand black currant preserves.
and there was a sex scandal… And now lies!
That is not “the” Canadian National Anthem!
This is:
OR maybe it is this:
I am shocked at the scandal you have created here spider! Lies! All Lies!
Has Kiri Te Kanawa ever recorded The Stars and Stripes ? — have to say I’d not have thought it would have suited her voice . . .
I don’t know if she has ever recorded it, the chances are good she has been obliged to sing it at some function or other, I just used her because she is a favorite singer of mine and can sing almost anything.
I guess I could have said Jessye Norman, too, though I don’t know whether she has ever recorded the damn thing either!
She does have an amazing voice — she used to occasionally do open-air park concerts in N.Z. (she refused to sing opera there because the country didn’t (and still doesn’t) have a decent opera house) and on those rare days, the streets of the city where I grew up would be almost deserted because everyone had gone to see her.
One of my fav’s that I discovered on the Net. You can sample several of her covers. “Back in Black”, “Rainy days and Mondays”, “Love me Do”, or even “Jingle Bells”. Once you have listened to Wing you will never forget her. check her out After you listen check out her home page and bio. She changes her covers and free samples every month. A few months ago she put up a cover of her singing a Mariah Carey song..Unbelievable.
You crochet? I thought you knitted! Lessons, please!
Click! Done!
Your clique is seriously deficient in two areas: Book sales and Internet activist activities. I want in — for balance. But I don’t like the whole paddle-spanking/branding thing, like Bushie did as a DKE at Yale? Are there any bizarre initiation rights? I’d have to weigh out the cost-benefit thing if they are too extreme. But other than that. I think you are on to it.
this weekend with the ball o’ twine??
Where is emjw, anyway??
Working, you say??? How DARE he? Now I am offended and must flounce off in a huff!
I suppose it is going to go out there and beat up all the other cliques now.
heh heh, that would work, except we are all the other cliques too!!
😉
an hour old, and this clique already has a sex scandal
for shame!
There’s no good clique without a sex scandal…
egg on George so he can FINALLY get impeached? I light a candle asking for the intercession of Saint DuctapeFatwa.
In the words of Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, “Make it so.”
(hey kansas, any relation to you?)
I wish I could make it so! He lost the “k” in his name, though. Very sad.
Booman passed out on the floor of the room that Sallycat provided for marchers in Washington, while I put on my LL Bean black watch plaid washed 1,000 times mans nightshirt and crawled into bed.
How do I miss these things?
Oooh, look – Cookies!
What’s a clique?
unidentifiable sore on your privates.
like you have makeup on your face……..I can never remember which one.
.
To form your own clique without charging any dues!
I’m stamping my feet, I’m so mad spiderleaf.
My shrink tells me it’s the calimero syndrome …
Am I eligible now to not join?
“Treason doth never prosper: what’s the reason?
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.”
▼ ▼ ▼ MY DIARY
DUES??? Man oh man, I could have been making a killing here… ugh… live and learn for the next blog I go and try to take over… 😉
. . . if it doesn’t turn into a claque.
I think there’s a toothpaste for that.
Well, I can’t promise anything you see… I can’t be held responsible for those who have issues typing… 😉
Are Tom and Ray members ? Count me in.
A clique! I was getting worried that not only was I cliqueless, but that you guys were hiding all the cliques that were here behind comment #9000 and a half, accessible only to those who were in the Lilypad Order of Cliques.
I’m so happy to find this one, especially as it already has its sex scandal and coups and there are no dues!
Now to find my owl… or, er… apparently ours is a Clique Chicken instead?
Thank you oh wise one. May I join your clique?
I was wondering where you were… thought maybe you had gone and started your own when I wasn’t looking… 😉
Never that, oh wise one!
but only if I can be the blue Heather.
OMG… I absolutely fucking LOVE that movie. Yes I did (and DO), and I’m damn proud to admit it!
Good grief… In high school, I even wore those silly bloomer-and-tights outfits that Winonna (was her name Heather too?) wore at that crazy croquet game. I’ve got to get that on dvd, just for the crazy silliness of it. Tee-hee. Thanks for the memory-jogger on that one! 🙂
Veronica actually.
Conspiracy theories are your friend… especially ones involving the Illuminati (well, that’s just my own personal obsession, you are free to find your own of course…)
I have this theory about the Illuminati infiltrating cliques and eventually controlling all of them… They use a secret Jedi-type mind trick called conversation in order to achieve this, and it often involves friendship, fun and humour.
If you see anyone trying to use these tricks on you or anyone else play it safe and don’t say a thing OR ELSE…
The best thing to do in a case like that is to just play along and pretend you are friendly, fun and humorous as well… That way they will begin to wonder if you might secretly be higher up in the chain than they are in the Illuminati.
Oh, wise one. Would you consider changing your esteemed name to disinclude the creature to which I am highly phobic? Oh? I thought not. Sorry, oh wise one. I must depart. Sniff. Sniff.
Of course, I do have to depart to grade 104 X 2 papers. One of which is encased in Ductape, likely not as a result of any fatwa against me, I hope! I do appreciate having a really good snark and the attached snarkfollies to read rather than the aforementioned papers. It’s another case of the usual booman “distractoprof” in operation. Maybe I’ll just give them all 4’s and leave them wondering.
I the scope of this diary, I suggest to modify the basic rule governing the bahaviour on this blog:
Don’t be a Prique!
if I joined your clique, then I would have to relinquish my membership in the all the cliques I have wanted to be a part of but was never invited, but I was a hanger on who thought I could fake my way into the clique that did not want me even though I desperately wanted to be a part of that clique who wanted no part of me as I was not cliquish enough to be a member of any clique that would have wanted me anyway. pshewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
thanks for the invite and the your kindness.
geeez, what’re you thinkin’ spiderleaf?
I used to respect you, but now you’re just trying to make us all into your little pawns.
You are really a sicko dictator trying to tell us what your “rules” are.
YOU DON’T CARE what the rest of us want!
I don’t want to be a part of your clique if you aren’t going to let everyone vote on who gets into it and what all the rules are. What’s the matter, are you some kind of slacker that you can’t handle a democracy?
It just goes to show how weak-minded you and all your clique-sters are that you are happy to be part of something that isn’t a REAL clique.
REAL cliques vote on everything, but you only get a vote if you pay a FEE to join the clique!
That’s REAL DEMOCRACY, clique-o-sicko-man
If you were really interested in having a clique, you would have posted a poll in your diary that asked us if we wanted to pronounce “clique” as cleek or click.
It seems to me that would be the first order of business for a REAL clique. After all we can’t just have people running around pronouncing it two different ways.
Why don’t you want “the clique” to follow the rules of the U.S.S. Constitution? You got somethin’ against old ironsides, I’ll bet, Cap’n Bligh-leaf.
And as for your insistence on compliance with your hockey game wishes, you can “stick” that up your “click”, too.
I mean, who are you to impose that frozen god-forsaken sport on us? I mean, I’m a Sutherner, by gawd, and we don’t do hockey down here!
A REAL clique would be based on FOOTBAWL schedules, not some clackety-clack hockey clique rules!
I am so disappointed.
This WHOLE SITE is FALLING APART because of you and your dictatorial clique-ishness, spiderleaf. Why did you have to stir up all this un-democratic crap?
You can’t handle the idea of a DEMOCRACY can you? I mean, if you really wanna do this dictatorial clique stuff, you must be a weak lily-livered DICTATORSHIP LOVER.
Well, SO BE IT!
ALL YOU CLIQUETTES CAN GO RIGHT AHEAD.
It’s a sign of the times. The whole world is fucked because of people like you.
CLIQUE-O-HEADS UNITE!
SOON, you will ask me to leave your clique and tell me to not let the door hit me in the ass on the way out, because YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
BUT IT WON’T BE THAT EASY.
I’M gonna be here, like a thorn in your ass –
to tell you how wrong you are
OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
Get used to it, clicko-sicko-dicto-man.
have some cheesecake
geeeeezzz, man ee.
Now you’re throwing cheesy stuff at me.
I mean, really, what’s with the CHEESECAKE CLIQUE!??!!?
THIS WHOLE SITE IS NOTHIN BUT A BUNCH OF CLIQUES!!!
Cheesecake this and cheescake that.
CHEEZO-HEADS think they are the coolest clique at BT. What is up with THAT?
AND why, I mean WHY? must you point out to me once again that I am not a part of your CHEEZO-CLIQUE?
That is so typical of you dictator-lovers.
But I won’t go away just because you throw cheesy GOOEY things at me. NO, it won’t be that easy.
I’m a veteran of the “clique-wars” and I’ve fended off multiple pies before. Aren’t I special!
So you can just have your cheesecake and eat it and throw it all over me, too, man eegee.
It won’t scare ME away.
Just go ahead and tell me to not let the door hit me in the ass on the way out, I know you want to, you cheezy-sleazy-dictator-loving cheese-cliquer.
Heh. (I love when I can type that and not feel silly. This seems like one of those perfect moments ;).
you heh-lovers are so cliqueish.
I mean, what’s up WITH THAT!
You think your god is the coolest of ALL of ’em.
You must be some sort of heh-fundie, to unleash your heh-cliqueishness all over me.
AND what’s so “perfect” about HEH?
You must not believe in REAL democracy if you worship some frog-headed god in your clique.
I bet HEH is YOUR DICTATOR, you REAL-DEMOCRACY DENIER!
You DON’T worship…
The HEH Frog Dictator?
It’s obviously time for the Reribbitucation Center for some. Be one with the Frog!heh and learn real democracy.
(cool link to mr boma too).
Hey Nanette, wanna JOIN A NEW CLIQUE!
We are the new SNARK-HEH-NONLURKER/SPIDERLEAF_THREAD_HIJACKER CLIQUE!
(see downthread for our first action item – a trip to the RERIBBITUCATION CENTER!!!!)
Snarkity snark snark, you win!
I’m starting my own clique.
It’s gonna be all snark all the time.
WANNA JOIN?
I can be YOUR dictator, you snark-calling dictator-lover.
I know you want to live under a dictatorship because all the REAL democracy-lovers have left the building.
SO, what’s it gonna be?
Snark? Or maybe you’re one of those CHEESE-CLIQUERS.
I’ve always wanted to be in a clique. But I’m already in a BT clique — the lurker clique. It’s so exclusive that if you post anything, you can’t be a member any more. Oh damn.
Hah! I mean HEH!
Can I join your LURKERS CLIQUE!?
I bet you won’t have me, because I’ve broken some “rule” about lurking AND commenting.
BANNED, I am BANNED from the lurkers clique!
FINALLY, someone told me to not let the door hit me on the ass on my way out!
I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN!!!
SEE, I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!
I banned myself! Can I join your clique? You are the snark master/mistress and I will do whatever you dictate.
WE ARE NOW A CLIQUE OF TWO!
blueneck and librarylil RULE!
(WELL, I rule, you follow, you DICTATOR-LOVER)
First, we’re going to the reribbitucation center for some instruction in HEH-WORSHIPPING! (courtesy of Nanette, who is now drafted into the SNARK-HEH-NONLURKER-CLIQUE!!)
Nothing like a little religion to keep the masses of non-lurking heh-lovers IN LINE!!!!(I will henceforth be known as the pope-a-razzi of the CHURCH OF HEH!)
(Now for some CHEESECAKE, if Man Eegee will just come back to this thread…)
I’ve gone from cheesecake, to hot chocolate, to ice cream. I am beyond the point of assistance.
pull the plug Dr. Frist…
IF you join the new SNARK-HEH-NONLURKER/SPIDERLEAF_THREAD_HIJACKER CLIQUE!
AND another gallon for making the trip to the RERIBBITUCATION CENTER with us!
Oh… well if there’s icecream. AND cheesecake. AND chocolate… who can resist!
Count me in! (Only, I’m afraid the name of our clique is way too long to remember… hope there’s not a quiz. )
WELL, I guess we could just VOTE ON A NEW NAME, heh?(I mean, huh?)
How ’bout HEH-CLIQUE?
OK, I voted. SO that’s what it’ll be from here on out.
I’m lurker451’s wife. He’s had to make another trip to his dealer’s. Can I get some ice cream? I’d do anything for some ice cream…
YUP, (RIBBIT RIBBIT), You can have some I SCREAM YOU SCREAM WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!
IF you join our new CLIQUE!
(The Woody Allen thing won’t work, and neither will the “I’m the spouse, lurker’s gone to the drug dealer” thingy.)
‘Fess up and join up for TWO GALLONS OF ROCKY ROAD!
I read and obey because I am a mindless drone who lives only for snark, cheesecake, and putting money into the pockets of nefarious bloggy dictators.
IT’S ROCKY ROAD for everybody in the new clique! (Even if it’s not your favorite, you’ll eat it anyway, because that’s the way THE DICTATOR wants it!!!!
Ahem!
I’m noticing a few people in here (you know who you are) that are members of my clique, or so I had been led (by the nose) to believe.
I find this highly unacceptable and a bit…well cliqueish. I don’t want you back in my clique see?
And no matter how many times you say I can’t join your (Miss Canadien! oh! so sorry, CanadiAn CBC watcher) clique, I still won’t join.
Now where’s that armless, booger laden chick? I have a booge…I mean bone to pick with her!
Do I have to fill out an application? Or give away my firstborn? Lemme in… 🙂
You are your first born ;o)
Don’t do it!
OK… I won’t. I couldn’t anyways…
At least I’m not born-again! 🙂
Thank Go..odness!
THIS IS MOST IRRESPONSIBLE! (sniff)
You should all immediately return to your own
cliques. The people in charge know what they are doing. They must. We should all listen to them.
I’m taking names and I will henceforth refuse to lurk at any of your posts. And I will spread the word among my clique of lurkers and you’ll be sorry.
You’re not in my lurker clique. You aren’t a real lurker.
WHO IN THE HELL DIED AND MADE YOU KING OF THE LURKER CLIQUES????????????
Come on upthread and join the new SNARK-HEH-NONLURKER/SPIDERLEAF_THREAD_HIJACKER CLIQUE!
Thanks but I’ll take a woody allen on that.
But you ain’t a lurker anymore, you blew your cover BIG TIME!
“I NEED A NEW CLIQUE..ONE THAT WON”T MAKE ME SICK.”
-Huey Lewis and the News, from “I need a new Clique“
There he goes again.
Lurker cliques are so 2005. I am the queen of the newest blogger clicque of SNARK-HEH-NONLURKER/SPIDERLEAF_THREAD_HIJACKERS. See you in the Reribbitucation Center.
And I’m supposed to be impressed by a Faux queen of a BLOGGER clique??????
My aren’t we the pretentious one. (sniff)…
(sniff)… sniff… HEY, Queenie, I think I smell
your effluviant!
That’s not efluevent, effluviant, that’s peppermint chocolate chip.
And for your information, I come from a long line of lurkers. (course, that was before computers)
Just going to sit down here in the dark.
It’s so quiet down here.
I like the quiet.
It’s like it used to be.
Before the light, the horrible light up above.
What happened to the coups? I was following kansas to overthrow the clique and got distracted lurking in on the lurker’s coup of a pre-existing clique.
Is the cafe open if we can’t stage a coup or two?
Isn’t that an off-off Broadway show about aging Beatniks cliquing their fingers at New Age Poetry Jams?
Unique.
Clique.
Click.
Claque.
SMACK!!!
(The sound of one hand claqueing. The other’s busy jerking off. Jerking IF.)
What if we actually got rid of the jerks who are click-clauqueing us all to death down the road to extinquetion?
Who would be left to clean up the inevitable blue dress?
Monica Lewinsky for Semi-President.
Semi-tough.
Semi-horny.
Lucianne Goldberg in Cheney’s role.
Rove?
Red Rover, Red Rover.
Cross over, cross over .
And give the dog a bone.
(Had to name it twice, it’s so nice. Dicks’ a dick. Don’t be a prick. OR a prique. Or a piroque, either. Sink of swim, don’tcha know. Thar’s PIRHANAS in them thar hills.!!! Eatin’ pierogis if they git half a chance. “That’s enuf a’ them POLISH jokes. podna!!!’ Polish that turd!!!”)
A faciltator is what is needed.
As in “Give a brother a HAND!!!” (Facile, ain’t it?)
Jerk jerk jerquety jerk
Clickety clack claquety clique down the dark and covert highway.
(We could do worse. Hell…we HAVE done worse.)
Wake the fuck UP!!!
Or jerk the fuck off.
Your choice…
(What do you think would have happened if James Joyce had been born black American instead of black Irish? This. Only better.)
Wake the fuck up.
