A challenge for you guys ...

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Xeney : One Thread

Good lord. Do you remember the Greenspun list of active forums? We once got as high as number four. Then we shut down for a while and dropped down on the list, and then I deleted some long posts that kept attracting trolls.

The result of this neglect: we are now number eight, and more importantly, we are behind the Heath Ledger Chat Room.

I am so afraid of the Heath Ledger Chat Room. They have a thread called "we hate Cathy petition." They're discussing Heath's views on marriage. They want to know if Heath will leave Heather Graham for them. I'm so scared.

We'll never regain our old position on the board, but in these last few weeks remaining, I'd just really, really like it if we could get ahead of the Heath Ledger girls. I know they'll come back and kick Xeney ass when we switch to the new forum; I promise to let it go then. But damn, people. We can do this.

And if it takes a We Hate Cathy petition, then Cathy is just going to have to step in and take it like a man.

Post away. I'm begging you.

Oh, Lord. They have a thread called Heath has half a penis. Only with a lot more asterices.

Can we have a thread called "Heath has half a penis"? Man. Our board sucks.

Post anything?

Yes. Anything. It just has to be at least as interesting as "Heath has half a penis."

Maybe there should be a "Heath and Xeney: Hot Nights With Half A Pecker" thread?

Yes! Good! You're in the spirit, Keli!

This may be a dumb question, but I am too scared to go to the Heath forum and figure it out for myself: who is Cathy?

-- Anonymous, May 15, 2001

I'm assuming it's Cathy the comic strip character. She must be stopped.

Beth, it sounds like you're giving too good of an invitation to Rudeboy over here.

OK, I couldn't stand it--I had to look.

Apparently Cathy is just some chick who posts over there.

I really liked the Is Heath a Christian? thread...

Are we allowed to invite them to participate here?

I'm getting the impression Cathy's not all that bad.

Okay, so I guess I've been sheltered but I didn't know that things got like that ... out there.

I just loved: "If he's not Christian I can't marry him so I won't be his fan either".

Does this count as stupid logic?

You know, Heath is a terrible name for a Christian. I'm just heathen. I mean, I'm just sayin'.

Ashcroft, my knight, where are you?

He's in his office preparing for tomorrow morning's Bible study, you heathen.

Like, duh.

I think that may be what's wrong with this board: we never single out a random user and make a "we hate [blank]" thread. We should do that. Maybe we can have a lottery or something.

Okay ... just read the Christianity thread, and yeah, I'm definitely a Cathy fan. We heart Cathy!

Sigh...if only we at xeney could have stimulating debates like this one.

I feel that it needs to be stated, clearly and for posterity, that half a pecker or no, Christian or no, big gay poofter or no, potential sex puppet for Cathy (I figured, as it turns out, that they were making a Wuthering Heights allusion - I give people too much credit.) or no, I find Heath Ledger to be absolutely desirable and quite the hottie. Although, I much prefer him as a brunette a la the marvelous "10 Things I Hate About You", which I own on DVD.

Heath, quickly: come to me.

Maybe you should start a potition about who loves him most, Gabby!!!

Only 2300 messages until we catch up with the Heath Girls!

Gabby,

Unless there's some clear reason not to, I always take "Cathy" as a WH allusion, too. In fact that's just about the only thing I liked about the "Q" character on Trek: His pet name for Janeway.

Heath is seven feet tall, and has big mooshy lips of love, and even if he truly has half a penis, and even if that truly gives me vivid nightmares of cheesedogs bubbling away in the oven, even if he's a pagan christian heathen cathy-hating pecker head, I will love him forever. I will love him with half a wee.

I will love him until the sun drops into the sea.

Heath and me.

And some blissful glee.

It's not at all twee.

We're as happy as can be.

Can't you see?

Ever since I got my Shenis, I haven't wanted Heath so much. The Shenis saved my marriage!!

Oh. Oh my. The Shenis love poem just brought a little tear to my eye.

What was I thinking, actually leaving the office?! I miss all the fun!

But the pressing question to me is...which half?!

Also, I feel quite sorry for all of the unsuspecting email-alert-signed-up-for people who have already gone off to sleep.

Hey, as a newish reader and sporadic poster, I nominate myself as the user you can all hate. I'll defend myself 'til the cows come home and you can pick on someone sans guilt! Hell it's one way for me to get involved!

-- Anonymous, May 16, 2001

How about, Heath has more than half a penis, and that's why we love him? The hair on his pretty little head helps too.

-- Anonymous, May 16, 2001

I think we should make a poll on who we should hate for the day, actually.

-- Anonymous, May 16, 2001

If we nominate, second, and then vote for the person to hate every day, we'll have a busload of messages.

Everything according to Hoyle, I say.

Ooo, ooo, ooo, and the spin, and the lawsuits, and the Xeney Supreme Court decisions.
