Every (good) wank needs a stuffed, mounted and beaded dead pony
I answered a query today about the beaded dead horse which (I know I got almost completely wrong) reminded me about just how much I have forgotten about the origins of our hurtful witty little in-jokes. It's interesting, having been TOSed twice now, how much is forgotten when the records are erased. In a curiously 1984 way, things are mis-represented or changed completely.


It also made me think about our almost internal logic, in-jokes heaped upon in-jokes. For some, who've been present for them all (um yah, I've pretty much been around from the start, whatever. That reminds me, how many people are still around who've been here more or less foreva? Was talking to a friend a few weeks ago who said she'd only joined when we were at Blurty and I was stunned that I didn't know that. So, um, anyone?) it seems so clear, but for most people - who join half way through it must be quite confusing and maybe a bit intimidating. So feel free to ask, as many have done. We're always happy to spread the wank.


Now because this post has got far too meta, here's some nice icon wank (yeah baby!).

Oh, and don't forget the pretty quiz that lasayla made.

You are a beaded pony!

Repetitive, yet highly sparkly, you are the result
of an amusing typo.

Unfortunately, you are dead...
