After much googling, I have decided that Q.E.D. made up the styrofoam cross and plastic nails thing. I likes it.
Heh, I likes it too.
Methinks I’m going to have to write down some of this stuff for future use. 
This doesn’t seem very polite to me. If I were to respond in kind, would I have to open a new Pit thread to do it?
IF posts were specifically targeted at Opal, I’d agree. But IF the meme is just changed, there’s no way to know whether they are or not. I bet there are a whole bunch of people like myself that didn’t even know that there was a real Opal who won’t know what the meme was about who will be using it.
Could you give some example of “stalking and constant harrassment”? I don’t remember any enforcement of this, so I don’t know how it works.
I have, however, seen people make sheep jokes constantly to Hal Briston and google jokes to Q.E.D. I don’t remember either of these being forbidden. There was also a woman that had a very tragic Pit thread about her who was reminded of it often. There was also someone that popped in to ask if people had forgotten about a Pit incident before that person started posting. I don’t remember anyone saying that constantly reminding them of those incidents were not allowed. And I’m distinguishing these incidents from the Opal joke/meme in that people were posting these things in response to their posts.
Almost every time I’ve seen the 1. . . 2. . . 3. Hi, Opal!, it was in a thread where she wasn’t participating. Does that make a difference? If she hasn’t been to the thread yet, can it be used?
I’m really not seeing how this meme can be said to be stalking or harrassing her when she’s not even in the thread. Sure, she can read it, but then all sheep jokes and all google jokes should also be verboten here also.
Please clarify the distinction.
Not to mention all the ladle jokes directed at Autolycus.
As another data point, just this morning I used “3. Buckeyes!” in a list of the Christmas baking I have planned for the weekend. I don’t think the mods will have a problem with that* - it isn’t aimed at Opal as I am indeed making them (I have the butter softening as I type) as a result of all the kerfuffle (it sounded like a tasty treat). If we can’t use “buckeyes” as buckeyes, then we will have a censorship problem.
Although, frankly, not being allowed to post “3. Buckeyes!” because it might harrass Opalcat is dangerously close to playing into her over-the-top extreme sensitivity about a silly thing that most people wouldn’t think twice about.
*But I guess I’ll find out.
I don’t know–or care–what the mods think. I am curious, though, why you have an exclamation mark after the word if all you’re doing is asserting you will be making buckeyes for Christmas. You don’t have exclamation points on the other items on the list.
Just… really excited about buckeyes I guess? :dubious:
-FrL-
But really, who wouldn’t be?
taking butter out of fridge to soften for tomorrow’s Buckeyes! and thanking featherlou for the reminder because cold butter is a total bummer
EGGzackly.
ETA: Okay, I made them - it turns out I don’t have the patience or the hand strength to squish 60 balls of peanut butter and icing sugar together, so mine will mostly be Buckeye Squares. We’ll see how that goes.
- Harmonius, who the fuck do you think you are?
- Please to get your head out of your ass
- Lick my hairy nutsack you crazy ass bitch
- See number 3
That’s why I’m using my husband to help. As a guy who likes to bake bread, he’s got more patience with dough than I. Square buckeyes, huh? I will expect a pic, of course.
Well, the buckeyes aren’t square so much as they are a square (as in, I just pressed the mix into a square pan and poured molten chocolate on it). It turns out that makes quite a hard square - I had to use a hammer to cut it. Tastes good, though.
Oh, why did I reverse that? Buckeye squares. :smack::smack::smack:
No picture needed, but I am having fun visualizing you pounding out cookies with a hammer.
ETA: Next time, don’t pour the chocolate over the pan, just cut out bite-size squares and dip. Then they can be square buckeyes and you don’t have to roll. Would that work?
I have to warn you I’m a biter, so no crying when a have your little hairy nut sack nosh. Nut sack sushi. Yum. Yum. Maybe they’ll have some crunchy lice topping for seasoning depending on your hygiene. I’m counting on that crunchy topping, because what is Christmas hairy nut sack without the traditional crunchy lice topping. That would be as bad as Apple pie without the ice cream.
Well I’m off to do another 4 hours of snow removal, but I look forward to that hairy nut sack with lice topping. Could you mail it to me in time for Christmas? Much appreciated if it gets here on time. Thanks for the Christmas treat.
No lice I’m afraid, but my nutsack has its own special crust that I try not to dwell too much upon. Think of it as sort of a buckeye nutsack.
mmmmmm, buckeye nutsack, I’m making some of those for the holidays.
I am really tempted to start a (light-hearted) thread asking who has been inspired to make Buckeyes as a result of this kerfluffle. I made mine yesterday. Yum!
I was wanting to post how I was going to plant the four buckeyes I got this fall and talk about how neat the trees are. I still will, but not until later.
There’s probably a market for hairy nut sack fetish handbags on the internet. Anybody have some just laying around? Maybe we have to go with a different source like cattle. We can market bull sack clutches.
How about kangaroo, bull, or other unidentified African animal?

The bull sack looks real to me. That one is a bit Renascence fair though. The real money to be made is high end designer clutches for Hollywood and New York.
I think you’re onto something there. The chocolate was much harder than the peanut butter layer, and it got a little messy with the pounding and the separating and all. I like your idea better.
Best thing for Buckeye Squares is to let them come to room temp before cutting them, but they’ll still shatter… the crumbs are delicious, though.
I personally don’t see the 3. buckeyes thing as a personal attack on OpalCat, but it’s good to know that the mods see it that way. She must be good at something to rate such treatment. Perhaps she excels in confectionary making. I’m interested in Autolycus or HalBriston weighing in here re the words ladle and sheep as well. I know Hal got weary (and rightly so) of the sheep stuff.
