In fact, in the original stories the witches were supposed to be flying around with the broomsticks…well, I believe “encootered” is the technical term.
About fifteen or twenty years ago, Amazon had a toy broom for sale that was supposed to be like the ones used for Quidditch in the Harry Potter novels. As I remember, the broom handle could vibrate to simulate motion and some of the reviews were supposedly from parents who noted their daughters took particular interest in the toy. I think the reviews were all jokes but can’t be sure.
The “King” just got crowned.
If the Perfect Master is to be believed*, witches didn’t run around on broomsticks for the thrill of riding the wind.
*A purely rhetorical phrase. Of course the Perfect Master is to be believed.
They did him a favor–he now has more time to search down all of those rare and valuable mispriced antiquities on Ebay.
I guess The Powers That Be don’t like it when you wave your “magic wand” around in public.
Pardon me, but your URL had its colon resected. 
Apparently the late king had the bright idea to get abusive with a mod via PM.
King & Bone. Wands at noon. Twenty paces, turn, then let the magik begin!
And definitely a crank.
It’s called “royal prerogative”. Apparently it doesn’t always work. But His Majesty was racking up warnings at an impressive rate anyway.
I don’t recall ever seeing someone get 2 separate warnings in one mod post before, that’s for sure.
I could have sworn I saw that he was banned, but now he’s not. Now, I’m pretty much opposed to any bannings (clothahump was an exception; I lobbied for him to go), so I’m ambivalent about his status, but did I just imagine this?
Our new acquaintance is apparently capable of greater self-awareness than I might have imagined:
King & Bone sounds like an interesting pub.
Brought his A-game. #Respect.
There’s something to be said for the True Believer loons, they are a lot more fun than racists or misogynists or just plain JerkTrolls.
I mean, I reported his insults and threats, because they were way over the line, but I certainly wasn’t *upset *by them. After all, I was tramping all over his Big Idea with cold, hard reality.
I just wish he had more staying power, like Hydraulic Pyramid Dude…
ETA: wait, **cladking **is still unbanned! Flounced, but technically could return.
And now The “King” has come back as “Deathbecomes” to drop a turd in ATMB.
OK, that’s just JerkTroll behaviour.
I’m starting to doubt his commitment to RectangleFarming…
New poster Hermann Göring thinks we’re all pretty dumb…
Let’s see:
- Gosh, never heard of a Spanish fascist before…
- That’s…not how you pronounce Reichsmarschall . “csh” is not "“sh”. All of which is irrelevant, since obfuscation is the whole fucking point of these little fascist dog whistles. Well, that and communicating with your fellow troglodyte Nazi brethren, most of whom have difficulty understanding plain English, never mind Furriner.
- Hey, guys, we’ll easily recognize Nazis, because they’ll only ever post in threads about Jews. They’ll certainly never post any other racist shit like “Calling Africans monkeys isn’t racist, it’s just rash words”
