It has recently come to the attention of some of us that while there are well-
defined terms for both newcomes to talk.bizarre("newbies")and long-time
residents(patrons?)of talk.bizarre("oldbies"), there is an astonishing lack of
term for the transitional period in which, let's face it, most of us
languish.  Any ideas?  Or is there a term of great tradition with whose usage I
am unfamiliar?

Otherwise you'll have to kill us all.

First one through the door was Larz.  Under his feet crunched brittle shards
of charred bone.  Crouching down to examine them, he was almost knocked off
his feet by a sudden wave of heat from the walls.  Kiln-heat enveloped him,
and soon his charred bones joined the rest on the floor.

Second through the door was Wally.  He saw no bones; rather, he saw a single
stunted bush, bearing black crystalline fruit.  It was jarred by the closing
of the door, and the fruit fell and shattered on the ground.  The shards from
the fruits' explosions ripped the flesh from Wally's bones, and the obsidian
seeds nestled in the fertile soil they had found.

Perhaps Kees had the best chance of survival, being blind.  Illusions spawned
by the room had no effect on him.  So he was spared the kind of deaths his
comrades had suffered.  Sadly, the room also contained more material dangers,
as Kees discovered when the floor beneath his feet slid aside and he plummeted
down the shaft below.

Done with its victims, the room closed itself up and settled to digest.  After
a few hours, there was no trace of the three bodies.  Most of their equipment
that had remained undigested was funneled into a chamber below for later
examination.  New victims were making their way to its maw, and it wanted to
be ready to receive them.

Due to the questionable performance of the Scorched Earth Party at
the polls last November third, I am rethinking my political affliation.
I am considering forming the Truth and Beauty Party

Our platform:

1. I, presidential candidate of the Truth and Beauty Party, do swear to
be unflappably affable in the face of overwhelming harshness.

2. I promise to be nice in all ways, whether dealing with the nubheads
in congress, or the thick-skulls amongst the american people.

3. I will not have anyone killed, unless they really, really deserve it,
and lots of people want me to.

4. Every month, I will give a really reassuring speech.

5. I will use the office of the presidency to get laid as much as humanly
possible.

Remember, ,in four years, The Truth and Beauty Party: Confusing people,

     Ok, I've ben reading t.b. for about 4 weeks now and have determined that 
is my duty as a newbie to post something here in the lines of a short sweet 
confession (tm).  I suppose this just adds to the list of things for the 
oldbies to mock, jeer at, and basically destroy emotionally.  Here, here, more 
power and all that.

     Here 'tis...

     I'm Bryan Keiper.  I am a leading memeber in The People's Front to 
Liberate Our Three Toed Brethren liberation army.  We seek to release the tree 
sloth from its oppressive captors who have taken them hostage to use their
knowledge of quantum mechanics and to take advantage of their uncanny ability 
to guess the "questions" to Jeopardy "answers". Please, help us and send 
donations so that we may keep fighting this important battle.

     Thank you.  Please don't flame me. You see, I'm stuck using a piece of 
shit vax terminal that emits huge amounts of radiation and is currently causing
my eyes to drain out of the front of my skull.  Also, if flamed, I may go sane.
 Not insane as I allready suffer from various forms of mental illness including
paranoia and schizophrenia.  If I go sane, I may recall what I did to those 32 
Quakers in Pennsylvania and to those 26 Jehovah's Witnesses here on the Ohio 
State campus.  If that happens, I may plunge my head into this vax terminal
and end it all. ( I can allready picture various t.b.ers hungrily typing in
more exciting ways for me to die. ) So, if you want a world free from these 
strange and obscure religous sects, please don't flame me.

F'ken WOG!

Yorkshire Pudding is effectively pancakes on steroids.  Baked in
a large oven pan, drenched in fat, and almost burnt to a crisp at
the edges.  Huge slabs of Yorkshire Pudding go excellently with
roast beef, or a thousand other dishes.

You prolly go well with thinly sliced cave-newt and with a
generous dollop of lava.

Jump, you ignorant fucker, JUMP!

Come off it. What he said was:

This is obviously just a vivid figure of speech and not a threat
intended to be taken seriously, even by the humour impaired.  (cf.  `I
want Margaret Thatcher's head on a platter', `Die, rat bastard!', etc. 
etc.) Mark you, the first woman to demand a man's head on a platter

to betray their closest ones and, thereby, to lose their love and
respect.

I'm going to take this as a compliment, even though "favorite post" is

The sentence contains the stupidest typo in the document. At the time I wrote
this story I had been up for 36 hours straight, and I'm amazed it made any
sense at all when I posted it.

I submitted a cleaned up (typographically) version to rec.humor.funny just
