re: Throwing Muses edits

[edit]

Thanks for cleaning up the prose on the Throwing Muses article. I am trying to keep sources cited for additions to the article, and one of the edits changed the meaning of the sentence, so I set that part back until we have a source for the comment about Dave's "reluctance" to drum in a band with the name The Muses being the cause of the name change. My understanding previously from mentions I've read in past articles was that it was KH and the whole band who decided the name didn't fit once there was a guy in it, but maybe I'll find some other source. Hopefully we can put a source citation for everything new in the article. Emerman 19:32, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The information about Dave's "reluctance" comes from ThrowingMusic.com's frequently asked questions. I quote: "Originally, when Kristin and Tanya started playing together they called themselves The Muses, Greek Goddesses of Inspiration. When David joined the band he didn't want to be called a goddess of anything so they became Throwing Muses."Bcarlson33 19:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
When I first responded before editing this, I had taken you literally because I only had read the part in boldface and wrote that I didn't see any sentence like that at the site you pointed me to but now I see you were kidding, after now reading what you said the band's name was. Please don't get offended by someone trying to edit an article I spent a good bit of time on in the past. Thank you for correcting the error about when Tanya Donelly started her solo career; I think I had confused the fact that KH's started around 1994 with Tanya's solo career, but it obviously started after Belly, like you said, per the timeline in the references section. I changed back Tanya's last name spelling per the spelling at tanyadonelly.com. I guess it wasn't really needed for me to say anything when I changed the edit; sorry for any bother.

Persomal Attacks (also known as "The Trosk Encounter")

[edit]

I would like you to stop calling people idiots and crazy kids in your edit summaries. Doing so is considered persomal attacking. Though you have never done this to me, I still take offence to it. Please stop. Trosk 20:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Trosk, thank you for stopping by. It might interest you to know there is no "m" in the word "personal." In the spirit of your message, however, I will refrain from drawing conclusions on what it means when a user accuses another of a charge that they cannot spell correctly. I guess I'm not guilty by a technicality. Love, Bcarlson33 02:24, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. You're guilty of personal attacks. I think you should stop. Note everything is spelled correctly. Trosk 20:20, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Trosk, congratulations on licking that problem with the letter m. I knew you could do it. Where I come from, "you crazy kids" is a term of mock exasperation which I use as a playful way to interact with my fellow Wikipedians. My knack for good-natured "ribbing" of this nature is one of Wikipedia's most enjoyable features. After all, friendship is not a four letter word- and it doesn't have any M's! Always remember kids are our future, even if they are crazy kids. Sunshine and lollipops, Bcarlson33 20:38, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you're going to keep using that happy-go-lucky writing style, let me tell you it's pissing me off. Stop calling people idiots. Trosk 21:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Trosk, thanks for writing again. My writing style has often been described as "happy-go-lucky," but I'm afraid this is only a facade to hide its inner turmoil. (My writing style was bullied in school, you see.) I must ask, though, that you not use the P word (the one with "iss" at the end) around my writing style. It could break down in tears and start using the letter m in words that do not have m's. This would be a persomal dimsasmter fmor me (see? now you've done it). It could also lead to the use of much more dangerous and scary words- the F word, the S word, or even the Q word. Though you have never done this to me, I still take offence to it. But we've talked of this too long already. Tell me more about yourself. Do you like jam? What is your favorite word with the letter m in it? What words do people use to describe your writing style? Is Triple H a jerk or what? Do you, like me, cry at the sight of rainbows, baby kittens and John Tesh music? Which mammals can you bench-press over your head? I will have to look over your answers before I share them with my writing style, as it is now cowering under a bench. When you're an M you're an M all the way, Bcarlson33 22:25, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now, you're just plain harrassing me because of one typo. Trosk 23:57, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Trosk, thanks again for writing! It was foretold that you would write again. I do tarot cards whenever people write on my talk page. I don't know how they work, but the pictures are pretty cool. I notice you added an extra "r" to "harass." Good for you. Substituting m's for n's is socially and morally repugnant and illegal in several countries, but adding r's is OK in my book. Plus, now your original typo won't be lonely anymore. (They get lonely, believe me.) Hey, I was wondering, do you think I should color my hair? It's something I've been considering for several minutes, but I just don't know if I have the nerve to go through with it. Let me know what you think. I'll hold off on a decision until I hear your thoughts. M + R = MR, Mcarlsmonrr33 00:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll fight fire with fire. Idiot. Crazy kid. Columnist for some website I and thousands of others have never heard of, and never want to go to. Your column probably sucks so much, it's what keeps people away from that website. Trosk 00:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Trosk, I'm so glad you're here. As the theme from "The Golden Girls" says, thank you for being a friend. I guess you're still thinking about my hair idea, and that's OK, there's no rush. I do have a work party tomorrow, where all the columnists are going to have a bodybuilding competition. I'm not sure whether my natural hair color is best or if I should go with the neon streaks. To be honest (and don't tell anyone I said this or I'll get in trouble at work), the reason so few people read my column is my editor, who is not supportive of my work. Once I put an "m" in the word "personal" and added an extra "r" to "harass," and he not only cut my salary, but he trashed my cubicle, took away my bathroom privileges and put leftover Stove Top Stuffing in my CD-ROM drive. Some people don't appreciate the struggling artist. Don't worry about me, though, it's part of "paying my dues," as they say in the industry and in organizations that charge member dues. I took a night class at the local community college- ENG 103M, "Minding your M's and R's" (3 credits), and it helped me a great deal. The next week, I picked up six readers! Unfortunately they were all clones of Dr. Funkenstein (that's a great album, by the way) but I think it's a good sign. Let me know about the hair coloring thing.

Persomal attacks, part 2

[edit]

Let me tell you something: I will try my best to get you banned. 70.111.220.133 21:15, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, 70.111.220.133! Can I call you Sevvy for short? Did you know that the Swaziland Tailor Bird bans its own children from Wikipedia once they reach adulthood? This is one of the many fascinating facts you can find on the Internet. But I should point out, there is a dark side to some places on the web. I once found a site where someone said Jessica Simpson was ugly. Can you believe it? Some people are just out to hurt people! I don't want you to feel scared, though, because I won't let anything bad happen to you. If anybody tries any "funny business" just let me know and I'll take care of it. And remember: JESSICA SIMPSON IS NOT UGLY SO DONT PRETEND THAT SHE IS!!! Love and only love, Bcarlson33 23:58, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jesus Christ, you're an immature net-head.
And yes, Eric Bischoff was an annoying SOB, both in WCW and in the WWE. nWo 4 life. 205.132.248.2 00:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear 205.132.248.2, thanks for writing. I see you are well-versed in the ways of pro wrestling. Do you find that your complicated name hinders you in the wrestling world? I'll bet 205.132.248.2 is a complicated name to put on a driver's licence, as well as a mouthful for poor Lilian Garcia or the other guy. Well, I once thought as you did, that Eric Bischoff was "annoying." I called him a "net-head" and he drafted me in the AWA Team Challenge Series. Representing Larry's Legends (his team was the worst, Mike Enos smelled!), I had to face Buck Zumhofe in a "Watch the Paint Dry" cage match. Six hours later, Buck pulled a handful of tights and I was tricked into losing. It was all Bischoff's fault! So my advice is don't rush into a battle with Eric Bischoff, annoying or not. Bide your time and find allies. Jason Hervey will be in his corner, so make sure you have somebody in yours. I'd do it, only I've been unable to hold down a job since the Zumhofe match.
Oh my goodness, I just realized that you weren't even writing to me at all! You were looking for this guy. Oh, dear. If calling Eric Bischoff "annoying" was bad, calling this fellow names is even worse. He is, from what I understand, even more powerful than the General Managers of RAW and Smackdown put together. While this guy's "push" is pretty incredible, he has a lot of backstage pull and so no one wants to work a program with him. Well, maybe Vince. I'll pass on your comments, but don't blame me when he tells the writers that "205.132.248.2 couldn't draw flies to a barbecue." What's the nWo, by the way?

The Internet as nougat

[edit]

It's me! Mrdie!!111 FROM THE INTERNET!!!!1111 (AKA: AGS) --Mrdie 21:33, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the internet that new kind of nougat they put in Almond Joys? Bcarlson33 00:33, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, it's that thing that allows you to be an annoying idiot without a real life punch in the face! It's really great! *Sends entire Internet to Brady* --Mrdie 05:21, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dang, I should've got me one of these before. It tastes great! Bcarlson33 14:08, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You ate it? I'm suprised you aren't speaking L33T speak, or calling everyone "homogayfags" while claiming that "OMFG MY GIRLFRIEND LEFT ME :'(" --Mrdie 19:02, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am unable to participate in Internet anymore, now that 205.132.248.2 has called me an "immature net-head." Why should I get up in the morning when someone as accomplished as 205.132.248.2 doesn't respect what I do? Why, I ask you? Why?

Life is so unfair. Now I know how Bea Arthur felt. Bcarlson33 03:09, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But what of the other nine Darth Katanas? Or Gary Cherone?

[edit]

You recently fed a troll by calling him/her/it an idiot. And now I'm whining about it for the whole world to see. But, that's the price of breaking policy, is getting whined at and everyone else seeing your wrongdoing. Well, it teaches you to never do it again, I guess. — Darth Katana X

Dear Darth Katana X, thank you for writing. I have to ask- who were the other nine Darth Katanas to come before you? Is it a family name that passes down from generation to generation, or is it a name you take when you get elected, like the Pope? Please do not talk about your message as "whining," my friend. We all have insecurities, but I believe in you and your message. I fed a troll once but a park ranger started yelling at me right after I did it, so it's like not even worth it. I also fed Gary Cherone once, right after he got fired from Van Halen. He was all like "no, man, I'm cool, I don't need the food" but I could tell he really did. Also, you are right on the money about the price of breaking policy - it's gone up significantly because of the winter weather. One day they'll learn to make policy environmentally-friendly (and therefore harder to break). The thing I have learned from our encounter is: only a fool expects all types of mayonnaise to taste the same. Please visit again soon. Your pal, Bcarlson33 02:32, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I don't really like mayonnaise, so I can't really relate, but I see what you're saying. Yeah, and my dad's name is Darth Katana X, and he named all my brothers Darth Katana X too, and he named my one girl sibling Darth Katana-ette. Kind of like George Foreman. All right, that isn't true, but I'm sure having a n00b telling you that you fed a troll is much more comforting than having a park ranger tell you. (Well, actually, I've been on the site for, like, half a year, but I still haven't read all the rules, and I cause trouble, so technically I'm still classified as a n00b.) I don't know why we can't just e-mail everyone and tell them that they fed a troll, but I guess people figure it'd be funner to embarrass people, too, kind of like when they sign peoples' posts for them. I mean, it's not like we can't look at the history. Wait, I'm going off, huh? — Darth Katana X
Dear Darth Katana X, thanks for writing again. I am also not related to mayonnaise- we seem to have lots in common. Maybe you also fed poor Gary Cherone? He is really not such a bad singer as everyone says. I don't know why we can't just e-mail people when they fed a troll either- probably the Park Service decided it wasn't "cost-effective." As if everything needs to be cost-effective to be important, right? What if they decided the cast of "Rent" was not cost-effective and designed robots to take their place? Would anyone go and see a musical about a robot's dream to sing and dance in the big city? Maybe if it co-starred Gary Cherone (again, not as bad a singer as everyone says) but they'd still have trouble getting a good review. The New York Times would write "The inclusion of robots, while impressive in a technical sense, leaves much to be desired." And that would be it for "Rent." Future generations would have to make do with "Cats" and those other shows. And then what? Fascism? USA is a-ok, Bcarlson33 22:22, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Aah, not Cats! Gary Cherone is definitely not a bad singer, but I think it's against WikiPolicy to feed him, too (or, at least, it's against policy to feed trolls or Gary mayonnaise). — Darth Katana X
Dear Darth Katana X, has anyone ever tried calling you "Kat" as a nickname? I would not do that, because it might be offensive. Also, I forgot that "X" was a common last name among members of the Nation of Islam! Such as: Malcolm X, Louis X, American History X, and so on. I can't believe I forgot this when I asked about your name the other day! I think I maybe thought of it but didn't want to ask, but since you already explained the X it's a moot point. I too am frustrated by the anti-Gary Cherone bias that pervades the Wikisomething community. People can be so cruel! It's jealousy, really - we all wish we were the one who sang "Hole Hearted," after all - but I've learned we can overcome it by pushing for change on the inside. Years ago, I (using my old, now-blocked user name, Darth Cherone VIII) used to yell at users who were posting about non-Cherone topics. I even built a template: {cherone-n|topic}. It said "You recently fed a non-Gary Cherone topic on the page _________ by not posting about Gary Cherone. And now I'm whining about it for the whole world to see. But, that's the price of disrespecting the best singer of all, is getting whined at and everyone else seeing your wrongdoing. Well, it teaches you to never do it again, I guess." When I finally got reinstated, I decided to take a different, less un-different stand, and lo and behold - it worked, and the Gary Cherone article is better than ever. Plus, I have stopped confusing the cast members of M*A*S*H with Santa's reindeer. Things are looking up, Bcarlson33 01:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Good to hear things are looking up for the Gary Cherone article, but, I don't really know who he is, sorry. I'll halfta check out that site, though. You know, a certain Yeltensic recently asked me if Darth Katana X is my real name. Really, it's not. I can't tell anyone my real name, but I will bowlderize it. That'll give some clues: Mar***al Sorr****no. By the way, like my nu-sig? — Darth Katana X (talk/edits/numetal)
Dear Darth Katana X, congrats on bowlderizing your name. Was it scary during the bowdlerizing procedure? I knew a guy named John who was getting his name bowlderized and they accidentally bowdlerized it instead. They left a big scar in his signature, there was this big purple blotch all over the h in his name. He was always really self-conscious about it and tried to hide it from people who didn't already know, so you'd have to introduce him to people as "J" not "John." Finally I stopped being friends with him because he got into this weird conspiracy theory group where they would read novels and talk about them. They called it a "book club" but it was clear they were plotting to overthrow the government. I have never gotten my name bowlderized or bowdlerized, so my hat's off to you. I got my name martinized once, but it took longer than the advertised one hour so I got it half price and that was pretty sweet. Best wishes, Bcarlson33 17:10, 12 April 2006 (UTC) PS. J was not Gary Cherone.[reply]
Yeah, getting your name bowlderized is pretty hard, especially because you can't figure out how much to show and how much...not...to show. Sorry for taking a week to get back to ya. — Darth Katana X (talk/edits/numetal)

It's just like turducken!

[edit]

Dear bcarlson33,

Recently, I'm a bit down because my wife refuses to give me oral sex. She likes to have intercourse at least 7 times a day and she even forces me to go down on her thrice every week, but she absolutely refuses to return the favor. She says my ejaculatory fluid tastes like gooey asparagus and since she's a carnivore, she says this is unacceptable. How can I get her to put my male sexual organ into her oral cavity?

Thank you,

-- 207.214.99.3, but my friends call me Zeke

Dear 207.214.99.3, thank you for writing. It is always interesting to hear about people's nicknames. I myself was once nicknamed "Lefty33" which of course is not related to my name but was an amusing nickname nonetheless. Interesting fact: NBC was actually going to do a public service announcement series called "The Power of Nicknames," but one of the guys on "Friends" refused to do it (as a child, he was known as "Stinky" and thus hated all nicknames) so they had to change it to "The Power of Reading" which is not really the same. I mean, if everyone knows you as "Red" or "T-Bone" or "The Dude" or "Queen Victoria" then do you really need to be able to tell a road sign from a tax form? As to your question, I am sorry to hear that a cavity is causing so much trouble in your household. The good news is, dentists have lots of non-invasive procedures (like sealants, fillings or whale watching) that can deal with cavities before they start. Also, "thrice" is a great word. Many people know it to mean "three times" but it also refers to a special dinner made only in eastern Massachusetts- turkey, ham and rice. It's like turducken only people can say its name without giggling. No asparagus in there, though, but I guess you could have it as a side dish. Bon appetit, Bcarlson33 01:05, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Persomal Attacks, Part 3: The Wrath of Trosk

[edit]

Now, I'm mad. Do you enjoy the presence of my sanity eroding away with every word you type? Do you enjoy feeding the hungry trolls, who just come back for more? I guess they like what you give them, or are just trying to break you. But I'm no dumbass. Nothing breaks Bcarlson33, not even the fabric of a man's mental health eroding away. ERODING. ERODING. ERODING. ERODING. Four times, eroding said. No, wait, five. Four is my lucky number, you know. You see, 4/4=1. 4+1=5. 5*4=20. 20/5=4. That's four expressions, that in the end, EQUAL FOUR, my lucky number. YAY! Pro wrestling is real! Trosk 21:12, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Trosk, I am so relieved to hear from you! When I read the South Dakota legislature had passed a law criminalizing the use of the letter "m" in the word "personal" my heart was in my mouth, which is actually pretty disgusting. The last time I felt this way was watching that movie "Lilo and Stitch" which everybody said was "cute" and "friendly" and "better than being Joel Siegel's groupie" but is actually a terrifying movie. I certainly won't be visiting the planet of Hawaii anytime soon. We should write a thriller together called "Persomal Harrassment." I've got the opening scene already figured out: Jodie Foster is in a high-tech robot-controlled baby stroller, enjoying a cool glass of Ensure, when the phone rings. "Hello?" she says, and a sinister voice (Sherman Helmsley) says "Do you enjoy the presence of my sanity eroding away with every word you type?" And she goes "whatever" and hangs up, only when she does the stroller starts rolling down a steep cliff in San Francisco (I should've said, she's in Ohio so Sherman Helmsley the villain can teleport her) and only her hot cousin, a professional bowler known as "Stumpy," can rescue her. I think it should be really violent and sexy and there should be sex between two rifles in the middle of a big fight between the good guys and the bad guys. The only question is, should we try to get an RR rating, or should we go all the way for the MC-17 rating? "Persomal Harrassment: ERODING. ERODIMG. ERODIMG. ERODIMG. in theaters everywhere May 2007." This will be like The O.C. on steroids, Bcarlson33 22:27, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a bad idea. But San Francisco? How about someplace more morbid, no one around for miles? Maybe Disney's California Adventure? It's not too far from San Fran, and it will make the thing that much scarier! RR is the way to go, by the way. Trosk 15:26, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As a founding member of the Confederation of People Named After IP Addresses, I must interject. The above comment was NOT made by user Trosk, but by 71.250.30.30. Trosk merely posted his name over 71.250.30.30's name. This is blatant discrimination against people named after IP addresses and I must insist that it stop immediately! We have rights too you know! 24.61.196.120 17:20, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Now hang on just a minute there, Mr. 24.61.196.120 (do you know the cast of the show "24"? You have the same first name as them). Trosk is a very good friend of mine, and he would never do anything like that. How you can sit there, knowing that his mental health is eroding- er, EROMDIMG away, and say such cold, callous things is beyond me. It seems you have not learned from the unkindness others have unfortunately shown you over the years. If you, sir, wish for others to treat you like someone not named after an IP address, then you ought to start showing them that same respect. Nonetheless, I love you. Pshaw to you and yours, Bcarlson33 17:23, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bad news, I just got off the phone with Jodie, and she won't do the movie. But there is good news: Sherman Helmsley agreeded to do the movie! He still owes me for this chicken recipe, you see. It's actually quite good, with a little kick on the skin. Anyway, why not make the rifle sex scene a four-way? Just an idea. Trosk 14:56, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Mr. Trosk, thank you for writing to our client, Mr. 33. He appreciates comments from fans all over the world, just like you. Unfortunately, Mr. 33 is unable to respond to you in person, as his contract with us is exclusive and cannot be breached by him at any time, even if he needs to use the bathroom. Please also note that it is the official policy of our studios that we cannot accept unsolicited suggestions for film ideas, and that any similarity between your idea and one produced by our studio is purely coincidental. Nonetheless, we thank you on behalf of Mr. 33 for writing and hope you will accept this free ticket to see "Persomal Harrassment," the movie we are currently filming. It stars Sherman Helmsley (who agreeded to do the film just this week) and will feature a four-way rifle sex scene. We appreciate your support and hope you will enjoy the film. Yours sincerely, Amazing Colossal Pictures, exclusive representative of BCarlson33 and many of today's best screenwriters 16:35, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the free ticket. When will I be receiving it? Also, when will the movie be coming out? It sounds like a great flick! Trosk 19:40, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense? Vandalism?

[edit]

Dear Bcarlson33,

A minute or so ago, I received the following message from you:

"Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Hulk Hogan. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Bcarlson33 00:34, 16 April 2006 (UTC)"

This came as a bit of a surprise as I've never added anything to Wikipedia, let alone to Hulk Hogan. Please refrain from making unfounded accusations in the future. Thank you and have a nice day. Yarahu

Dear Yarahu, I am so glad you wrote! Interestingly, you did not sign your post, which is one of those guideline things that Wikipedians are very touchy about. I am not from Planet Wikipedia myself but I am well versed in the culture, having come here as a student and eventually marrying a native. Watch out for the Hulkster's 24 inch pythons. They will take Randy Orton out at SummerSlam. Love, Bcarlson33 21:40, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well-versed in the "no personal attacks" policy, poorly versed in the "sign all entries" policy

[edit]

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

Dear template, thanks for writing. You should note that the phrase in question above is taken from an anti-vandalism template. Do you know what this means? You have failed to recognize your own brother! I have a feeling the anti-vandal template will try to steal your share of the mashed potatoes at dinner tonight. Love, Bcarlson33 21:36, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

[edit]

Some robot tried to block me, I said no and we agreed to disagree. Bcarlson33 21:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My bot did not block you. It substituted a message left by another user. There was never a conversation between my bot and you. alphaChimp laudare 00:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Alrighty then. I shall take this up with the other user's customer service department. Love, Bcarlson33 10:01, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
