I wonder what people will think in 8 years time if they bring back one of my silly threads.

This sentence filled me with a sinking feeling of cold dread. *cringe* Stupid 2009 Juniper...

[papayahed]

Oh I hate it when old threads of mine come up and I've only done three years or so. Never return to the past I think - go forward. At least you agree with your past self, I very much doubt if I would though.

It's not so bad, see:

Hello, I am new to this site, the forum part anyway, though I am glad I have joined for literature is my first passion and I have been studying it for years (part-time). Others interests include listening to music, drinking beer and sleeping.

Anyway, I hope that I can learn a few things as well as pass a few things on, I have already come across a couple of must read books having just read a few threads. This thing could be dangerous!

[JuniperWoolf]

Haha, reading, listening to music, drinking beer and sleeping. Boy Neely, how you've changed!

Oh dear that's embarrassing, but yes it does seem pretty accurate. 2005? It says that I've joined in 2008? I don't know, I don't even remember joining or that post, it's just a haze. I was probably under influence at the time. That's how exciting my life is, some people after drinking and a hazy wild night find themselves next to a strange women ("who are you?") or find unusual traffic cones/road signs scattered across the room - something like that etc, etc; me, I join a literature forum! As my current monkier says "Bohemian", notice the intended irony there?

I wonder what people will think in 8 years time if they bring back one of my silly threads or important silly ramblings in regards to what me and Emil are eating and drinking, or Woody Allen conversations etc, etc? Obviously they will realise the genius but what else?

Well not genius exactly but an attempt liven up an incredibly boring thread.
What could be more tedious than....'An apple' or 'Nuts' or most mind-bendingly soul destroying and my personal bête noire ...'Lime flavoured popsicle' ?

[LitNetIsGreat]

True, and also I'm often scared at some of those "foodstuffs" that some of our dear American friends bring up. I saw something the other day that someone had put it about a sausage on a stick wrapped in a pancake with chocolate chips!!! I obviously thought it was a wind-up but then, who knows, with cheese in a can and pizza for breakfast, you never know?

Yeah, that was my fault when I was copy that post over I couldn't remember your year so I took a stab at 2005.

Did you know you and bean joined right around the same time??

Juniper's turn:

I really love Rimbaud. The first time that I ever felt that there was something to existance was when I was reading his poetry. It makes me want to do something.

[JuniperWoolf]

Hahaha, I guess that one's not so bad; I just got a little excited. It's better than some of the things you could have picked, I've said some pretty weird things - none of which are quite as weird as this:

I think it was determined before that the Ninjas could beat the pirates, but what about Ninjas vs. Robot Monkeys from Outer Space?

Robot monkeys all the way! LONG LIVE BOBO!!!

[Stanislaw]

lol ninjas, vs pirates, vs robot monkeys... those were some good times

1)

2) Context is everything, it was a different time on litnet (there were pirates and ninjas roaming freely, we were always on the look out for Stan's Dastardly ship)

3) See!! I still agree!!

hahaha I know right??

Yes I saw that sausage contraption, it's not for nothing that the US is home to the word 'gimmick', and it seems to be part of that vast swathe of inconsequential junk that flows in US capitalism's wake, such as Barbie Dolls, Ninja Turtles, Muppets, Action Man etc. etc. and which is usually manufactured abroad and sold back to credulous buyers in the US and elsewhere. Though nobody is ever going to better the giggling Sigmund Freud shown on LitNet a while back. I'm already laughing again.
