Where Has The Fun Gone On Pianostreet?

And Hinty, If you feel that you must correct me, then go ahead, I don't mind.

This little light of mine ... I'ma gonna let it shine.  Hi, shorty !

Tis what happens when overly-sensitive bigots constantly whine about things. *let's all be nice* *let's not argue* *let's live in a completely linear world where everything confirms with our narrow view of reality*

*OMG I'm offended mommy please make it stop*
 
Tis what happens.

Bob have you checked the other side of the box for lettering?  It doesn't belong to Pandora does it?

[Bob]

It says....  (sounds out with euro accent) Frah-gee-lay.   Hmmmm.  Must be Italian.

Perhaps it's a bowling alley?

[quantum]

Must be these new concept designs.  To use a box shaped object as a bowling ball.

Correct "me" in what, exactly?

(Yawn...)

Best,

[Bob]

No, no.  It's a wooden box.  Oblong shape.  Packing crate with some straw packing material inside.  "FRAGILE" written on the side. 

Reminds me of Christmas somehow... 

[shortyshort]

Best,

Alistair

Hello ahinton, I hope that you are well, and have enjoyed a nice break. 

[gilad]

Ps has gone eerily quiet id say.

Is it because everyone has decided less ps in the new year?

Will fade anyway like most new year resolutions.

[mikey6]

I don't know, I used to post a few times a day but now there's really nothing that interests me.  Whether I've seen it all before, or have lost track, or the spark's gone, somethings missing.

[thalbergmad]

tis boring

[shortyshort]

tis boring

Indeed.

I suspect that you have hours to kill, now that your nemisis has retired. 

[gilad]

where has the life of ps gone?

My humble opnion is that there is a dire shortage of humour round these parts. At times I would even say a serious drought. Everyone is rather conservative and a little bit on the stiff upper lip and boring side.

No offence hey( :

But I do a feel a verbal vasectomy of thoughts and soughts has taken place on this forum. there is little fun, no joking around. Mostly boring arguments with no conclusions. boohoo. RIP PS. I do miss the place it once was.

But that might only be the anything but piano section. I dont check the others often.

[shortyshort]

m1469 seemed to be having fun for a few days. 

I believe that she has come down now. 

[thalbergmad]

Indeed.

I suspect that you have hours to kill, now that your nemisis has retired. 

I certainly do have a lot more time on my hands now that Sister Stupid has departed.

Not as much time as she now has i wager.

Hello ahinton, I hope that you are well, and have enjoyed a nice break. 

Hello, shortyshort, I'm fine thanks, I hope that you are also and I did indeed have a pleasant break in France, as I'm sure that some people will have had an equally pleasant break from my all too occasional typographical errors on pianostreet during that time...

Best,

Alistair

Where Has The Fun Gone On Pianostreet? Well, nowhere, surely? Is it not still to be found in most of the posts of its esteemed member Thalbergmad?

Best,

Alistair

[gilad]

Tmad posts are hilarious. But i do remember a time when he was not the only member with a sense of humor:P

i once remember a time when the snails were animated and danced magically in people's signatures. we should all kill ourselves now, theres really no other option.

I think you may benefit from a little bit of couselling Husky. But you actually might have a point.

Cool snails.

Thank you.


These snails have committed suicide at Husky's suggestion...  Poor things.

I'd tip the table and scrap them off, but we don't have that motion feature anymore. 


This is what the snails will look like in a few days....

What will you do with the empty shells?

Perhaps you could start building a grotto with them?

You'll need to find some more snails.

[Bob]

Catacombs.  Ooooo....

The grizzly fate of so many snails.  That's what you have to do when you run of server space though.

All right!  Who did it?  Who knocked over the snail shells?

You can build an opera house on top of that 

[pianochick93]

Gosh, that would have strange acoustics, what with all the holes in snail shells.

\@_

[quantum]

it's been tried

[pianochick93]

Where does it say that it was made from snail shells?

[Bob]

I think Paris itself is built over catacombs.

[elspeth]

I work in an opera house with catacombs - well, pretty impressive cellars, anyway! It's great, our cellars go on for miles, mostly round in circles under the main auditorium, there are air raid shelters and all sorts of stuff down there. Every so often I go exploring, but I've yet to find an underground lake... we do have an opera-singing ghost though! It's a nightmare trying to take people on tours down there though, I'm tempted to take a ball of string with me, otherwise the odds of getting lost are fairly high...

Now that does really sound like fun. 

Not the getting lost bit.

But surely whether or not that might be a problem would depend upon the contents of the cellar, would it not? Never mind the ball of string; take a good corkscrew with you next time - and a nice glass - and then, when the tour is over...

Best,

Alistair

[shortyshort]

The corkscrew would suffice. 

[ahinton]

The corkscrew would suffice. 

For you, perhaps, but I was actually addressing Elspeth who might prefer to sip her Château Pavie '82 from a glass rather than directly from the bottle...

Best,

Alistair

Of course.

My "Blue Nun" tastes better from the bottle. 

[Bob]

Any rats down there Elspeth?  And ratcatchers? 

[ahinton]

Of course.

My "Blue Nun" tastes better from the bottle. 

Can you prove that? (and, for that matter, can you prove that it tastes of anything at all worthy of the name "wine"?)...

I expect Thal would know how a blue nun would taste...

Best,

Alistair

[elspeth]

Thankfully not... there used to be a bit of a mouse problem which was solved by the much-loved and sadly missed theatre moggy, which used to live in the manager's office and stalk the theatre at his whim... alas no longer, the moggy died and the mice were seen off by less picturesque methods.

We keep glasses down in the cellars... but a duster is a useful accessory as well as the corkscrew!

[shortyshort]

Can you prove that? (and, for that matter, can you prove that it tastes of anything at all worthy of the name "wine"?)...

No, I cannot. 

I expect Thal would know how a blue nun would taste...

Several I suspect. 

[thalbergmad]

Referring to the wine, it is gnats piss.

I just noticed that I have over 800 posts.

I knew you could not stay away.  Like a moth to a flame.

Well, we'll be waiting for you in the chat room when you finally can't take the loneliness anymore.  Don't worry, comme has been gone for a long time now.  You're safe.

She told me that she will only be a "ghost" from now on. She will not reply here anymore, but she will still hang around. And she's far from lonely.

[pianowolfi]

So Mozart's ghost will haunt here?
