MakeItStop's NOT Cornertime With NOT Kismet

(Camera's focus on NOT Kismet, opening a door into the NOT Cornertime area. NOT Kismet enters the room and we see a woman sitting on a stool NOT facing the corner. NOT Kismet begins making her way over to her, moving very slowly so the camera can follow her.)

Welcome to NOT Cornertime Ladies and Gentlemen. Today's guest is MakeItStop, one of our newest members. Welcome MakeItStop, you’ve made quite a splash.

<They shake hands and NOT Kismet takes a seat on the stool opposite MakeItStop. >

Thanks NOT Kismet. I’d like to thank everyone for the warm, and ummm…, strange welcome.

Strange welcome?

Yes. Apparently GT thought I was EBug masquerading as a newbie. And she called me demented and said I have a fakey good-girl mannerism and I sound like Martha Stewart! Well, I want to get at least one thing straight. My good-girl mannerism is NOT fake!

Hmmm… Tell us who sent you to the NOT corner and why.

Mistofleas and Kismet sent me here because I haven’t been bad enough. And because I’m an attention whore in denial.

<NOT Kismet glances away to look at the clock which reads minus 07:00.>

Hey, pay attention to me! Ooops, did I just say that out loud?

Yes. < NOT Kismet adds an hour to the clock which now reads minus 6:00.>

So how did you find SB and why did you stay?

It’s a familiar story. I used to read the PlanetSucks/SurvivorSucks Spoilers board. That board disappeared and was replaced with the EZ board. Someone (I don’t remember who) posted about this board on the EZ board. So I came over here to the Spoilers board because EZ sucked. I stayed because of Shakesvivor. It was because of Shakesvivor that I started reading the Off Topic board.

Several members of our community are wondering about your name. Tell us what IT is that you want stopped.

I explained that over on the blowsvivor board.

Well, I’m NOT Kismet and I don’t know how to do links. So tell us again.

OK. I read these message boards at work. And, there is a woman there that has to butt into every conversation and then proceed to monopolize the conversation. If you try to ignore her, she just talks louder until it is impossible to ignore her. And, she never has anything interesting to say. Plus, she’s a miss know-it-all. Sometimes she comes into my office and starts babbling and just won't stop. I found myself thinking "MAKE IT STOP!"

So you only read the message boards at work? Why is that?

Mr. MIS thinks the message boards are silly. So I don’t read them at home.

I understand that you’ve been reading the boards for a LONG time. Why did it take you so long to post?

As I said, I started with the Spoilers board which is serious business. You don’t post crap over there. And I didn’t want to get flamed on my first post for it not being insightful enough. I think I saw that happen once. When I came over to Off Topic, I saw that it was another world over here – it’s like a party! After I started to get to know the OT personalities, I started thinking about posting. That’s when everyone started getting suspicious of old posters impersonating new posters. I thought I better wait. So I waited. Then everyone got upset about the trolls in chat. I thought, there is no way I’m going to post now. And then there was PigFace, so brave to start posting in the midst of all the controversy. And he received a warm welcome. So, a few days later I saw a post that I wanted to respond to. So, it’s PigFace that gave me the courage to post.

So who are your favorite posters?

I have many favorites here. I’m partial to the funny and brainy posters. And, of course, the people that post on the Spoilers board like Aya, OutFrontGirl, IceCat, Shakes, Sleeeve … Well, there are so many, I can’t list them all.

<NOT Kismet rolls her eyes..> Thanks

I think Aymelek has the best sig picture with those twitching hips. Kokoro HAD the best sig line with that “crack in the alliance” line. JV’s a close second, with “I feel … funny.” I also love the wit and sarcasm of the basher babes – they know who they are. And I love Cornertime and the News. I also enjoyed reading the entries in the Story Competition. But you guys were so prolific, I couldn’t keep up. I’d also like to mention the bubbly ItzLisa because she’s so, ummm… bubbly and she ALWAYS has something to say (hon, I mean that in a GOOD way!). And, I must mention DangerKitty, who was the first person to believe me without waffling. But if I were to only pick one, then I would pick IceCat. I love all the winking, kissing, wiggling, and flapping that’s going on. Not to mention the new SB logo.

Do you think your answer could have been any longer? You’ve mentioned every single person on this board!

<MakeItStop smiles sweetly. NOT Kismet adds another hour to the clock.>

So you started out on spoilers. Do you have any theories you want to take credit for?

No

A few weeks ago, we were discussing our phobias. Do you have any you would like to share?

Well, OK, but I don’t think this is a good idea. I’m terrified of bugs, except for ladybugs and butterflies. I’m sorry to mention butterflies because I know several of you don’t like them. I’m especially afraid of spiders and those jumping crickets that look like spiders. And to me, SIZE MATTERS! The bigger the bug, the scarier it is. I used to totally freak out when a bug landed on me. I’d start screaming and jumping up and down. Someone else would have to flick the bug off of me. I knew (as I was doing it) I was being totally irrational but I couldn’t help myself. I mean, irrational fear, that is what a phobia is all about. I can at least flick the bugs off of myself now, but not without a huge adrenaline rush, my heart starts pounding and feels like it’s jumped into my throat. I also don’t like to have to kill the bugs that get into the house. If Mr. MIS is home, I yell for him to come and kill it. Then every single time, I have to ask “Are you sure it’s dead?”, and I make him flush it down the toilet. I don’t want it in the trash, it’s like I think it will come back to life. My Uncle and his girlfriend gave me a “bug vacuum” as a gift one year. It works pretty good. At least I don’t have to get too close to suck them up.

Is there anything else you want to tell us?

Well, I’m kind of embarrassed to admit this but I don’t know HTML. But I’m trying to learn it, so I can make my posts pretty. I’ve been married to Mr. MIS for 21 years. We don’t have any children, but we do have two pet bunnies. They’re litter-box trained and live in the house with us. I’d love to show them off, but I don’t know how to do pictures.

Thanks MakeItStop.. Well folks, there you have it, another NOT cornertime out of the way...

Welcome to the dark side MakeItStop (MIS). We're really pretty friendly once you get to know us, and us you. If anyone has not been paying attention to the Blowsvivor forum the complete history of MIS is listed on this thread MakeItStop meets Blowsvivor. MIS shows up around post #27 or so.

She's new here, everyone make nice

Welcome Aboard!

-ICB

yearning for the days when we welcome all and question none... again

YEAH!!!! I'm so glad someone did this to take down our Evil Overlord's monopoly of the board! Brava, MakeItStop!!! And welcome!

Aymelek

I'm impressed; this is very good! Welcome again, and thanks for joining us.

BTW, I agree with you -- Kokoro's "There's a crack in the alliance" sig was the best that I've ever seen, because it was just so appropriate in the circumstances...

Awww thanks MIS and you too Ayak....lol but what expectations to live up to ^-^;;

Listen here MISsy! No one spoofs cornertime without approval! LMAO!! I'm only kidding of course. I'm glad you didn't wait to come over here and tell us about yourself. Once again, welcome to the dark side...

Kismet

Welcome Make it Stop!

I soooo know that feeling!

I don't really want to be the Queen!

OK...

New rule...

All new posters must love the cat...

Welcome aboard, MakeItStop...

Don't ever stop!

Welcome aboard Makeitstop. I'm so glad you posted your own Cornertime rather than waiting in line. Good to get to know you.

Survivorchick

Welcome, MIS... Blood type please.........

Welcome again!!!!!
So glad you decided to post with us ( don't tell her I told you, but Kismet didn't post for a long time, we had to talk her into posting on OT)
Also happy you did your own intro interview. Maybe when Kismet is done with her list of regular interviews, she can start doing a new person intruduction interview segment.

Thanks for the snacks MISsy ( great nick name, don't you think?)

EBug

Welcome MIS! See you and I are both doomed to be know by initials so people can type us faster.
Sorry I didn't say hi earlier but Mr. OFG also thinks the message boards are silly (silly him) and I have to sneak in on the weekends (but then you won't read this til Monday, will you?)

I think this is a dead-on and very funny spoof of the Kis and I look forward to seeing more of your sense of humor.

You mentioned you had grown up near where I live and I wanted to say, "I know that area," but sadly I don't. Over the last 20 years I have been creeping southwards in CA but slowly, like the San Andreas. After growing up alternating between Marin and Greater LA county, emigrated up north to Mendocino coast, then back to Marin, to Albany, to Berkeley, and now to Oakland, and I almost never make it south of the Oakland airport, so Fremont is like a strange land to me. Next stop the Big Island of Hawaii.

I'm sure it was pleasant in Fremont before the Silicon invasion.
Anyway, nice to meet you!

Thanks everyone! I'm really starting to feel like one of the group. I can tell you that I was more than a little bit nervous about doing this.

AyatollahKhomeini: “I'm impressed; this is very good!”

High praise indeed coming from the Ayatollah. <beams with pride>

George Tirebiter: “MAAAAAAAAAAN, this has "Mismet" written ALLLLL over it!”

Heehee…”Mismet”. I like that! Mismet, Kismet – twins separated at birth?

Kismet: “No one spoofs cornertime without approval!”

Don’t you know, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

IceCat: “All new posters must love the cat...”

Sheesh… I didn’t know it was going to go to your head.

IceCat: "Don't ever stop"

Awwww.

VampKira: “Blood type please......... “

I’m a tasty O negative – the universal donor. Approximately 6% of the population has this blood type. Only one other blood type is more rare.

Ebug: “Thanks for the snacks MISsy (great nick name, don't you think?)”

Yeah, not bad for a nick name. And, a lot easier to type.
