# I *think*
A babushka is a Russian peasant. Often abbreviated to just 'Russian'.

Apologies to our Russian comrades .. just being silly tis'all!

# russian dolls

# I've been here over 4 months
and I still consider myself "new."

Get over it.

# good point
any ideas on the drug addicted bowling pin? its calling me now.
(wraithbladeuk, Wed 9 Apr 2003, 14:23, archived)
# Ideas:
go to google images
search for "bowling pin" - you might wanna leave SafeSearch turned on...
see what comes up and let them inspire you.

# cheers
your surprisingly nice compared to everyone else here, who just wants to freeze me, shove a stick up my ass and eat me like an ice pop. i think.

# no-one wants
to eat you.
(martian, Wed 9 Apr 2003, 14:27, archived)
# I dunno
what flavour is he..?

Edit: Oh and wraithbladeuk, most people here are very nice, it's just that some have less tolerance of people who dive straight in without picking up what we like/accept.
Don't worry though, you'll soon get the hang of it and will be roasting newbies for their lack of hummus too.

# think of b3ta as a pub
you wouldn't walk in and demand that everyone buy you a drink because you've left your vodka at home.

you'd listen to other people and join in their conversation. or you'd say something interesting to someone and they'd respond.

there, wouldn't that be a bettter idea?

# Hummus....
when do i get my hummus badge? can i use the word hummus at will, being a newb? or do i have to wait a while?
(wraithbladeuk, Wed 9 Apr 2003, 14:35, archived)
# Use it at your discretion
Normally here it kind of means a combination of inspiration/skill (not that that even comes close to its full range of expression), but we're always open to new uses/meanings for random words.
(I helped save b3ta! Ijon Tichy, Wed 9 Apr 2003, 14:42, archived)
# the scary thing is...
...i was using "hummus" in person before ever using it here...

Rules: no

Unless you're american, it's good manners to abide by local customs...

[edit: has anyone noticed that most b3tans seem to go through a really anal phase outlining the "customs" to all and sundry? I seem to recall going through it myself...]

I only said "might" - after all, I've heard there are some wonderful pics somewhere on the intermaweb of bowling pins disappearing where you'd never think they'd fit...

# you should get the new sparks
album 'little beetoven' too - it's really good stuff.

As is 'Indiscreet' (I'm sure I've spelt that wrong).
