“Oh it’s cynicalllll to be cliche’dddd AT CHRISTMASSSS!!!” oh wait..

I’m being sincere man! Peace and goodwill to all dudes!

so was I. Drunkenly singing halfmanhalfbiscuit songs and getting the words wrong.

haha, you should have been round our chalet at ATP, that was a whole weekend of drunkenly singing HMHB songs and getting the words wrong.

oh, and happy Christmas in a Sandbox:

That’s the one thing I wish they’d had in 1980whatever..

Well, if they still have them in 2020, maybe Alice/Amber might drag me along to it. Or they might decide they’d have more fun on their own. Ach.

Oh, I love you guys! You keep me entertained and informed and cynical and loved up, all at the same time. Whether it’s clever informed points, ill-thought out arguments or good-to-mediocre trolling, this place is one of the coolest places on the internet. The number of good friends IRL and good times I’ve had with them (and will have in the future) directly because of this place constantly astounds me. The politics and in-fighting is unfortunate, but it’s like any family—you only argue about this place because it means so much to you all.

Merry christmas guys!

*hugs trolls, and indeed everybody else*

where “this place” = ILE, clearly.

Or ILX even, the whole board’s got a dynamic that I haven’t seen anywhere else.

do raging assholes get hugs too??????

Extra special ones.

No, wait this is cuter...

*huggles*

squee!

.. and then they were gone!

Oh, my lovely picture of trolls huggling has gone.

Right, I’m off and won’t be back until next Thursday. Have a marvellous time doing whatever it is that you do.
