I just wanted to say, though the pic was always adorable, I absolutely love the name “Dogbutler”. Whether it’s a dog that is a butler or a butler for a dog, it’s super cute.

[Dogbutler]

Well, thank you.

I’m his Butler (capital B, as it’s a title).

Was fed up with old name after I learned more about JC’s right-wing leanings, glad to be shed of that ol’ name.

ETA: I nearly went with Muttbutler for the sound of it, but Baillie vetoed it. He has his pride.

[chgoliz]

JC doesn’t = Jesus Christ, I’m assuming.

[Dogbutler]

Quite right, it’s the other monty.

[kxkvi]

Will do!

Or should that be will don’t?

Pomegranate figures in a script I wrote for one of @ProfOddfellow 's Grave Mood RIngs videos:

Cerebral Anesthesia on Grave Mood Rings

I… don’t know what I’ve just seen. I kinda… liked it?

[ProfOddfellow]

It was so fun because MerelyGifted and I had independently, simultaneously been writing spoofs concerning massive Gothic novels. When I saw her script for Grave Mood Rings, I was like, “Spooooky!”

[MerelyGifted]

It’s a very silly, clever parody of slow-moving 1970s Gothic TV soap operas from the US & Canada.

[ProfOddfellow]

Thanks for checking it out! It’s our labor of love to slow-moving Gothic soap operas of the 1970s.

[ProfOddfellow]

Ha – I was typing almost exactly the same response when you were! Spoooooky!

BoingBoing move to substack

Hey hey, thanks for letting me know this mountain top retreat exists. I know that this community is its own thing, despite the huge overlap and shared origin with the BBS, and I can imagine that there are anxieties about a huge influx of “new” people, so I will sit back a bit and learn the vibe of the place before contributing a lot. But can I say that I am immensely relieved to see so many familiar names in one place. The SuS thing is doomed to die a death of non-engagement from the interface…

Cross-posting because this should have been here.

Isn’t it nice to be in a place with a familiar user interface?

[MerelyGifted]

We do this all the time!

We’re here all week folks! Try the pomegranate pizza & tip your servers well!

I think it’s great to see familiar people. The only anxiety I have is trying to catch up with new comments. Before the kerfuffle there was only a dozen comments a day. Sometimes barely any. It was a bit lonely.

Hey friends! Thanks for inviting me to the new hideout.
