Be Excellent To Each Other

OK. Grand plans for this week's BeeX WeeX. It was going to be a Robin Gibb tribute, with the lyrics to 'Tragedy' replace by carefully crafted links to the week's POTWs and threads of interest. Then I forgot. So pretend I did that, and it was really awesome.

THIS WEEK

We talked about whether prisoners should get the vote
Grim... asked whether you'd put yourself in a plane and turn yourself into a burning ball of fire
Plissken wants us all to fill in his survey
It's that time again. Top Eurovision Commentary

Posts of the week

Plissken bemoans the life of a redshirt
Malabelm gets confused
Any house with Zardoz in is a crowded house
Flis drops some truth bombs
It's hard to impress Zardoz

WTB challenges mypThe Last Salmon ManSome cunt on his footballing views

Thanks to nominators MaliA, Kern, myp, Grim..., Plissken, Davpaz, Zardoz, TheVision, WTB, throughsilver, metalangel, and anyone I've forgotten.

Now fuck off.

Yay!

The video isn't working for me.

I can't see any branding.

I didn't nominate anything this week.

Yes you did.

It's literally auto-nom in MaliA's case.

Oh, maybe I did. Ah well.

It was a good edition of BeeX WeeX, well done!

Indeed, I particularly liked the clever rhyming of Tragedy with Badgery in the second verse, and then the play on that in the middle third.

So is it just Craster and my good self whose done BWeeX more than once then?

Surely it must be WTB's turn next.

*ahem*

*ahem*

*ahem*

*ahem*

*ahem*

For goodness sake! Ok! I'll make you all a cup of blinking tea.

Brilliant: I pictured Mimi clicking on the thread each time there was a new post. 'Ooh, a new post! I wonder what my fellow Beexers said about the week. Oh, another ahem... Ooh, a new post...'

Sorry, I mean *ahem*

Huzzah!

How on earth do you nominate?

Uk-based only feature

You're a UK based only feature

You pm all the posts you like to MaliA, he is the official nom collector. He then sends that to the Beex Weeker.

Your Mum's a UK based only feature

Don't even joke about it!

If you name it, he will nom.

Beware his nom-hither face.

The sentries report noms to the south west. Thousands of them.

Man in Black: All right. Where is the nom? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both nom, and find out who is right... and who is not in BeexWeex.
MaliA: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would nom his own posting or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would nom his own posting, because he would know that only a great fool would nom what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not nom the posting in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not nom the posting in front of me.
Man in Black: You've made your decision then?
MaliA: Not remotely. Because nomming comes from games of MafiaScum, as everyone knows, and the Mafia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not nom the posting in front of you.
Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
MaliA: Wait till I get going! Now, where was I?
Man in Black: MafiaScum.
MaliA: Yes, MafiaScum. And you must have suspected I would have known the nom's origin, so I can clearly not nom the posting in front of me.
Man in Black: You're just stalling now.
MaliA: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten Davpaz' giant head, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've nommed your own posting, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not nom the posting in front of you. But, you've also bested my Craster, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortally unfunny, so you would have put the nom as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not nom the posting in front of me.
Man in Black: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.
MaliA: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE AUTO NOM BUTTON IS!
Man in Black: Then make your choice.
MaliA: I will, and I choose - What in the world can that be?
Man in Black: What? Where? I don't see anything.
MaliA: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter. First, let's nom. Me from my browser, and you from yours.
[they both click]
Man in Black: You guessed wrong.
MaliA: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched noms when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a flame war in WoSLand" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against MaliA when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...
[dies]
Meems: And to think, all that time it was your nom that was poisoned.
Man in Black: They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to Zardoz' sense of humour.

There is not a big enough NOM button in the world for that post :-)

You can't nominate a BEEX WEEX post for BEEX WEEX as it causes a massive forum implosion.
