    How exactly does one reach the hidden threads? When I tried visiting the normal site from my History, I got redirected.

    Comprenden los GRIMS el espanol? Me gusta mucho la exploracion de espacio! Específicamente, me gusta los actividades de la estadounidense Nacional Administracion de Aerostación y Espacio, la Agencia Europea de Esepacio y la Agencia Japones de la Exploracion Aerospacio.

    Me gusta ver los transbordares espaciales con los astronautas y cosmonautas en los uniformes BRILLIANTES NARANJAS.

  2. KaiYves (Orange!) says:

    Because it’s fun and exciting!

  3. Agatha Phish (Aggie) says:

    108- Is it not because space travel is fun and frivolous, and has something to do with a manner of enjoyment? Because, if not, I will gladly explore a conversation about space travel with my fellow Musebloggers…erm, Studgers.

  4. Brown Pan says:

    I’m doing history homework, and it is soberly-colored, indeed. “Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Shadow of War.” I don’t think you can get much more sober than that.

  5. SBF (BAD) says:

    We think it’s fun.

  6. Miss Lovegood (LtL) says:

    The hidden threads are gone. I believe perhaps they were not something supposed to be accessed? The line of bricks by the SSS thread was a link, which led to a page with an image of the bricks, and then an image of another style of bricks (also a link). There was a post box, as well. Each new image led to a new thread with a new image (and post box). But the link is gone now, and I cannot access it but through my history, and the GRIMs zapped the post I posted with the URL….

    This is good, however. Obviously such things were frivolous and pointless. They mustn’t be allowed to be accessed by us, or we might become wild, ill-mannered children. We must conform to the GRIMs desires. The GRIMs are ancient and wise. They know what is best for us, and have only our interests in mind.

    *whispers* See the welcome thread–we must convince the GRIMs we’ve been brainwashed, and then–when they least suspect it–rebel!

  7. Piggy says:

    I believe I shall study Shakespeare’s The Tempest, make a pot of tea, and go to bed early. Ms. Troff, could you be so kind as to tell me what your opinion is concerning the preserving of reptilian animals?

  8. Miss Tesseract says:

    113 – That does make some sense. Very well, I’ll go put on a uniform and find a straight-backed chair.
    [but I shall still rebel quietly from the shadows]

  9. Miss Lovegood (LtL) says:

    115–*whispers* very good, very good

    I would like to know our esteemed GRIMs views on such things as corsets. Are these something that young ladies such as myself, who are aspiring to be like Ms. Snorgwattle and Ms. Troff should possess? Or are they a frivolous, vain contraption that should be relegated to the rubbish bin?

  10. Miss Kiki says:

    is talking about TV allowed on here? because i’m watching LOST and it’s super flamablamablous today. :D also Lie To Me was pretty good, too.

  11. Miss Fiddler says:

    116~ I’d say it depends on the type of corset. If it’s the Victorian kind that is essential to the sorts of fashion our esteemed GRIMs keep, then I should assume that they’re are acceptable. As undergarments only, mind you!
    However, if you are reffering to the “modern” kind that promotes “cleavage” and shows rather a lot of skin I would say it’s most likely an emphatic NO.

    Well, I’m off. See you all tomorrow. It’s too late to be up anyway, 9:41!

  12. Miss Lovegood (LtL) says:

    118–Yes, Miss Fiddler, I believe you are probably correct. I myself, however, have no fondness for corsets of any kind, having had the equivalent of one forced upon me at the tender age of eleven, for nearly four years.

    Yes, indeed. If my back brace I had to wear was anything at all like a proper corset, than I think they should all be destroyed, as they are most unpleasant. (I have scoliosis, and to prevent the curvature from getting worse, and possibly requiring surgery, I had to wear a back brace from the time the doctor’s discovered it til the time I stopped growing. It really wasn’t pleasant, 20 hours a day strapped into a plastic shell…but better than having to have surgery, as my mother had to when she was a teen, and later a corrective one a few years back….)

  13. Groundhog says:

    113 – That would explain why my attempts to find them were fruitless.

  14. Red-tailed HAWK says:

    Good evening.

    Good evening, Miss Tesseract, Mr. Piggy, and of course, the wise and honorable GRIMs, Mr. Ekoeli Morgrool, Ms. Umbilica Snorgswattle, Mr. Fussel Swampworthy, and Ms. Fibula Troff.

    Indeed, the changes around here were certainly needed. Now I can complete this modest seven story stack of homework, mop the floors, wash all of the dirty dishes, and perhaps engage in completely calm and rational discussions with fellow Studgers over a hearty plate of brussels sprouts. The atmosphere here is very, well, atmospheric.

    Good work, GRIMs!

  15. The Man For Aeiou says:

    ATTA girl, fiddler! Corsets are not to be seen ,Kind of like children, only wiTH Ears not eyes!! there is no reason why you need To kEep tAlking. the gRims have all gOOd thinks under Most definite control.

  16. Piggy says:

    Mr. Red-Tailed Hawk in Post Number One Hundred and Twenty-One: What sort of a plate of Brussels sprouts are you ingesting? I thought I heard you to say “hearty”, but surely you realise that hunger encourages study?

  17. Miss Tesseract says:

    Good evening, Mr. HAWK. I am in complete agreement with you. Thanks to the changes implemented by the GRIMs, I was able to complete my homework at a reasonable hour and still have time to go rigorously practice my saxophone. It’s music, surely, but the piece I will be practicing is suitably solemn.

  18. kiwimuncher says:

    *eats cheese* Cheese party! I think the GRIMS have failed to harden my mood. The cheese is making me jolly. *takes a bite of chevre*

  19. ATTENTION, Studgeophytes! As you know, Filboid Studge and Studge Academy operate on a principle of “early to bed, early to rise.” Consequently, this Web log will be going offline at 9:30 blog time tonight — slightly more than 10 minutes, by my calculations. Tomorrow you may expect a 5:30 a.m. reveille, followed by vigorous calisthenics, a bracing cold shower, and porridge in the refectory.

  20. Miss Lovegood (LtL) says:

    My esteemed Mr. Morgrool, is that really necessary? I realize that you are a wise GRIM, and surely know what is best for us, but I’m not sure that shutting down at such an hour will really improve us any. If we cannot have access and moderation on such a venerated and respectable site as this, we may be forced to return to our old ways, getting up to naughty stuff like we did in the MuseBlog days.
