Be Excellent To Each Other

Gather round, children, as the Old Man of Beex Weex ties an onion on his belt (as was the fashion in my day) and fails to remember how this stuff is supposed to be done.

Christmas names started this week. If you're in a scrooge-like state of confusion about who everyone is, then a translation guide is here. This is also the place to go if you still need to request your own name change.

Grim... asked a physics question. So far, there's just been guff from Kalmar, but I'm sure Kissyfur or Craster will be along soon to sort it all out.

In the best traditions of lazy New Year's Eve TV, Zardoz asked "what were your favourite things of 2011?". Surprisingly, the thread hasn't yet descended into a Skyrim-vs-Dark Souls shoutathon, but there's still time.

So what about that topic that Beex is mostly about, the love that brought us together in the first place? No, not flouncing, I'm talking about video games!

WTB wants speculation on the next generation of games consoles. And speaking of next generation, Microsoft did their semi-annual Xbox UI reshuffle; in a surprising development, some Beexers loved it and some hated it.

Most of the forum is still playing either Skyrim (the BEST) or Dark Souls (the REST). Meanwhile some people somehow found time to play some Bezzie Forza 4 too, and thanks to a ShopTo deal the numbers of the Forza Gentleman's Club of Gentlemanly Racing is set to swell in the coming week.

Now, Post Of The Week business. This was the week that:
...Zardoz punned.
...Trooper had a blue confession.
...The Albino Kid demonstrated mad literacy knowledge.
...Dimrill told us the secrets of the stars.
...DavPaz met a young Indiana Jones.
...Craster made with the funnies.
...Zardoz opened our eyes to a horrific double meaning.
...Mr Kissyfur (I kno, rite?) indulged in childhood icon punnery.
...Mr Dave has a game recommendation.
...Myps and flis japed at Craster's expense.
...And finally, Dave's typing keyboard was still woeful.

Thanks to my contributers: myps pies, zaphod79, MaliA, DavPaz, Zardoz, Throughsilver, Kern. This section would literally be nothing without you.

Good work Doc!

These threads remind me that this place is actually funny (sometimes )

BTW are their any plans for a Beex Year of 2011 ?

I love a good volunteer.

Indeed. Go to it, Zaphod!

Speaking of volunteers. Shall we mention that for this beexweek I messaged you saying that the first person to reply would be the next beexweeker, and then messaged you to say that you are such a that you would probably forget and be the first person to reply anyway.

What did you then do? Eh?

Don't worry, I won't mention it

Oh, and good work Doccy G

I thought you were going to mention it for a second there, but we got away with it.

Two noms! I win!

Zardoz had two too. So that means that Zardoz = Kissyfur. Bad luck

So did Mr Dave....

Hmm.

I win!

I had three. I win!

You're confusing yourself and DavPaz, dude.

Funny, they all look like my posts
One
Two
Three

We are holding The Dave aloft on a joint 2nd place.

Naked.

Ah, I didn't notice the last one was two links. Hey ho. Technically, though, Dave got one nom and Dave's phone got two.

Technically, Kissyfur only had one-and-one-third of an entry.

It was my post so my nom.

Read more closely; it was a triple nomination. You simply happened to be last. I AM THE VOICE OF BEEX WEEX.

You only linked to the one post, though, which was mine. So technically that counts as three noms for me.

Really looking forward to this now, nice one Zaphod.

Who is on the judging panel?

Look again,

Technically, I provided the funny.

Mr Chris is not being a sensib Nigel.

Oh, that's just totally changing timecheating, Doc.

Even more techically, your mum did.

I AM THE VOICE OF BEEX WEEX.

All I can hear is a voice coming from somewhere under the table.

It's not too late to have zero nominations, Kissy.

And let that be an end to it.

Can I have my nom back in, please?

How do you nominate again...

I'm afraid you have to wait for someone to be funny.

Hit PM on the post.
Change 'To' to 'Beex Weeker' group.
Change title to 'POTW'.
Hit send.

To save time, any post by NervousPete that's longer than a couple of sentences is automatically nominated.

We should commission him a special 'tl;dr' award.

I don't do that bit.

Me either, it's pretty obvious when you open the message, but I guess it might be a bit annoying to those who have friends and use the messaging for reasons other than beexweek and scum.

You're the worst nominator ever. You just send quotes, not even links to the thread, which means you have to go and find them. You suck.

Fuck off.

I fucking don't now.

Oooh, good point!

I do all my talking out in the open. What do you have to hide, pilgrim??

HUH???

CLEEEEEK

It's a nice break from the anal prolapse video links that Perkies sends to me.

Nothing, I don't do that, I have no friends, obviously
