User talk:Bishzilla/Self-requested pocketings

Large reptile considering request

But user know original 'Zilla have pockets large enough for him. What you think? Me need pocket for a bit? — ChedZILLA 04:47, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Cosy pocket surely nice for little zilla. No need to stop editing Wikipedia, pocket has wifi. [Bishzilla stuffs user in pocket without waiting for actual request. Autocratic like that.] bishzilla _ROARR!! 15:13, 1 November 2013 (UTC).

Hairy beast from the woods needs break from silly humans

Everyday I dodge humans chasing after me with cameras and video equipment...some have bags of plaster to pour in spots where I leave footprints...very tiring. Request pocketing and I have prepared myself in case I forgets what Craps Table is suppose to be used for....me easily confused...often!--MONGO 15:52, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

That's a mental image I didn't need, quite honestly. Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:59, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Whadaya mean...see...MONGO get no mercy from human encroachment...need Bishzilla pockets to hide in for rest.--MONGO 17:10, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Just remember that the pocket gives you room to rest, but that doesn't make it a rest room. Newyorkbrad (talk) 17:48, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Grrr...well, word is yer an important human around these parts so MONGO promise to behave and avoid mishaps....but still gonna wear protective outerwear to be safe cause I'm just a hairy woodland beast afterall.--MONGO 18:51, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

[Bishzilla stuffs the little Bigfoot straight into Poets' Corner, as far as possible from the craps table.] Sit down and decompress, little Mongo! Sing along with Bishzilla! (Noble soprano solo just added. Season special!) [Bishzilla secretly a little worried some user bring bags of plaster to pour into depression made in sofa by Bigfoot. Perhaps better never get up!] bishzilla _ROARR!! 22:43, 10 December 2013 (UTC).

Ah......MONGO feel much better now due to rest provided in sanctuary of Bishzilla pocket. Stayed away from leafy greens before pocketing I promise ye. Soothing poetic melodies abound...MONGO can hum but trouble carrying tune, able to enjoy nonetheless. But MONGO noticed that picture of accommodation show humans in mirror with cameras!!!! Should I be worried they might return, upset stomach...cause consternations? Little users welcome to join...MONGO always lonely.--MONGO 00:32, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

If MONGO (me) get thrown outta fancy lodging I'll settle fer icecave...just so you know...MONGO not picky...used to sleeping on ground, in mud, in cave with bat guano or running from humans with cameras and not getting any sleep...--MONGO 18:50, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Just dropping by

Thanks for the invitation. [Eyes "Jimbo was here" graffiti on the wall.] Nice place you've got here.

I have heard that the secret admin lounge (TINC) has brandy snifters and cigars, so I have brought a small libation. A cognac snifter for me, and a small distillery for you. Cheers. —Neotarf (talk) 11:51, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

An apparatus for distilling brandy, complete with flask. (So how flammable is this thing?)

No worries, long long time since little Jimbo jump cutely into pocket. (Happened on IRC.) Already de-pocketed way back.[1] A few runes scratched by him may remain in more Pompeii-like parts of pocket. Little Neotarf better off in recently re-decorated Poets' Corner. Cosiness factor and Christmas ambiance now almost overwhelming! Distillery go well in there. (There is no secret admin lounge. Bishzilla great egalitarian.) Ignore little Bigfoot in sofa, is a little shy of humans. bishzilla _ROARR!! 18:52, 13 December 2013 (UTC).

Looking at a 2007 ANI archive is like walking across a cemetery. Bish, you have either a fantastic memory or an archive of your own with a fantastic retrieval system. Drmies (talk) 15:32, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

And do the kids still do the guestbook thing? Drmies (talk) 15:34, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Bishonen memory like sieve! But 'Zilla retain bookmarks of own important actions such as de-pocketing Jimbo, blocking FT2, running for ArbCom, etc. Like to peruse in self-centred nostalgic mood. As cheeky Darwinbish put it, Bishzilla is ancient of days and practically Larry Sanger on wiki![2] Occasionally see kids on Jimbo page asking him to sign their guestbook… is surely sign of extreme newbiedom. bishzilla _ROARR!! 15:17, 15 December 2013 (UTC).

Of course there is no secret admin lounge. They even say so on Cabal Network. But of course such fictions do serve to indicate the level of ritual that might be expected in such a salon. In the meantime I am still pondering this. I don't even know where to start. The poetry corner does seem in order, thank you for the recommendation, and I look forward to perusing the offerings. I had thought to cite the Bard, but at present, the contemplation of "the proud man's Contumely, the Law’s delay, and The insolence of Office" are just too oppressive; instead I will cite Ringo: It's been a hard day's night. I won't stay long, but perhaps we could tune in to the election returns? I believe some official word is expected momentarily. Regards, —Neotarf (talk) 10:49, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Sadly apt Bard quote for little Neo's situation. Sigh. bishzilla _ROARR!! 15:17, 15 December 2013 (UTC).

The election returns are in. Cigar? The virtual ones are perfectly safe. —Neotarf (talk) 06:14, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Aaaaaannd...the coronation. —Neotarf (talk) 14:55, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

I've been running amok

Perhaps you could just pocket me for a few days. Jehochman ^Talk 17:02, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

[Stuffs the amok little user into Poet's Corner.] Sit in the sofa next to Bigfoot, little user! Oh… the smell? OK, sit anywhere, feel free! Listen to some Alfred Lord Tennisball recitations, very soothing! Note that is somewhat obligary to enjoy open-air rendering of Ring Out, Wild Bells at three minutes to midnight on New Year's Eve.[3] bishzilla _ROARR!! 00:23, 31 December 2013 (UTC).

Oh look! I've collected one of these. Jehochman ^Talk 02:28, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

[Bishzilla is a little envious. But always pleased to have her décor enhanced with new baubles.] Pretty! Will go well on the bric-à-brac table in the curiosity cabinet! bishzilla _ROARR!! 11:32, 31 December 2013 (UTC).

Little Boing

Little User:Boing! said Zebedee now resident in pocket on private request. Welcome, feel free to enjoy all facilities! For your delectation, and further enhancement of Poet's Corner section, recitations by actual Victorian poets Alfred Lord Tennisball and Percy Bish Shelley (no relation) just added! bishzilla _ROARR!! 15:19, 3 January 2014 (UTC).

Is pocket empty?

MONGO claims it's fumigated but I don't trust his sense of smell. --DHeyward (talk) 20:37, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

[Hurriedly turns off cyanide fumigation nozzle.] Oops. Just a second, I open window pocket catflap for a few minutes, per rigorous safety regulations! bishzilla _ROARR!! 00:15, 1 February 2014 (UTC).

Cyanide fumigation, while only mildy effective against Mongo who seems to get stronger with such efforts, is acceptable. I humbly accept protection in the fumigated pouch of toxic predecessors. --DHeyward (talk) 07:47, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Smok

Smok the magic dragon

Smok the dragon from Giano's page is visiting in Poets' Corner for rest and relaxation. Please excuse if furniture somewhat affected by sootiness and smouldering. bishzilla _ROARR!! 20:42, 5 February 2014 (UTC).

Oh...Smok is verrrry intimitdating so I shall merely....

tip-toe through as quiet as can be...since I stand less than 60cm at the shoulder!

[Bishzilla is delighted.] What a cute little timid fellow! [The cute little Klipspringer looks delicious as well as cute, but Bishzilla tries to repress this feeling.] Never fear, Smok the Wawel Dragon is no danger to klipspringers! Only eats maidens! bishzilla _ROARR!! 23:01, 8 February 2014 (UTC).

Educational materials in Poets' Corner: Open University plans

Planning large-scale Open University-type activities in Poets' Corner! Kicking off with Bishonen's Saturday class in cake eating appreciation. Study materials as assembled by Hafspajen on 'shonen's page now available in dedicated fridge. Please feel free suggest lectures, seminars, etc. Offers to teach such activities especially appreciated! (Bishonen only know cake-eating, Darwinbish only know evil template-making. Soon come to end of that!) Anybody? Mushroom appreciation, Casliber? Lawyering, Newyorkbrad? How about outdoorsy hands-on class in snow shovelling in winter branch pocket, Floquenbeam? bishzilla _ROARR!! 18:04, 22 February 2014 (UTC).

Educational Party

Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!

Dr Mies, there is a party at in Alice in Wonderland Bishzilla special club. Hafspajen (talk) 14:11, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Everybody take your favourite drink or food and sitt down.

Be polite

donate more wisdom

• There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the ordinary to hear the Rabbit say to itself 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!' ...but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out its waistcoat pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice startled to her feet.

• So many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
  There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time she found a little bottle on it, ('which certainly was not here before,' said Alice,) and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words 'DRINK ME' beautifully printed on it in large letters.

• 'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here ? '
  'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said bishzilla .
  'I don't much care where —' said Alice.
  'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said bishzilla

Some Afternoon Tea for us

• 'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
  'Oh, you can't help that,' said the bishzilla : 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
  'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
  'You must be,' said bishzilla , 'or you wouldn't have come here.'
  Alice didn't think that proved it at all; however, she went on 'And how do you know that you're mad?'
  'To begin with,' said bishzilla , 'a dog's not mad. You grant that?'
  'I suppose so,' said Alice.
  'Well, then,' bishzilla went on, 'you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.'

• I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
  And what I assume you shall assume,
  For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
  I loafe and invite my soul,
  I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. (1)

• To elaborate is no avail, learn'd and unlearn'd feel that it is so.
  …
  I and this mystery here we stand. (3)

• Clear and sweet is my soul, and clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.
  Lack one lacks both, and the unseen is proved by the seen,
  Till that becomes unseen and receives proof in its turn. (3)

I have no mockings or arguments, I witness and wait.

• Knowing the perfect fitness and equanimity of things, while they discuss I am silent, and go bathe and admire myself.
  Welcome is every organ and attribute of me, and of any man hearty and clean,
  Not an inch nor a particle of an inch is vile, and none shall be less familiar than the rest. (3)

• Both in and out of the game and watching and wondering at it.
  Backward I see in my own days where I sweated through fog with linguists and contenders,
  I have no mockings or arguments, I witness and wait. (4)end Walt Whitman.

Thank you kind little user for poetry, especially flattering reference to Zilla as "world's fresh ornament" (blush, but feels it is deserved, for all that). Why conversing only on talkpage, you may ask? Well, is impossible for Bishzilla to join in conversation inside 'own pocket — think about it, makes dizzy. Whereas talkpage is… uh…. this getting metaphysical. But is… elsewhere. bishzilla _ROARR!! 16:42, 15 March 2014 (UTC).

Very disappointing not to see the little Bigfoot wreak havoc in cake fridge! Would have been epic! Try to be on time next Saturday (which won't necessarily happen next Saturday, Bishonen a bit casual about her duties, but we can hope). bishzilla _ROARR!! 23:02, 15 March 2014 (UTC).

P.S. Feel free remind Bishonen Friday evening. Tip to ingratiate self: address as "Bishonen sensei", she flattered. bishzilla _ROARR!! 23:13, 15 March 2014 (UTC).

Wanna see some Library porn?

Hi Bishzilla! I've seen some truly impressive & (if I may say so) desirable images of libraries. (I meant "library porn" as in gratuitious images of libraries, not as in libraries full of porn. If you prefer the latter, well, I'm not sure where I'd find monster porn. It may not be safe for even the over 18-crowd to view.) Would you be interested in updating your pocket images with a few? Would you prefer an email submission, or send you the URLs where these could be found? -- llywrch (talk)

[Much relieved.] Oops, was alarmed by header..! No tentacle porn on these chaste premises! Feel free add some interior decoration pics, not too many — décor already getting a little crowded! [Muses.] Hmm, maybe emsmallen all the pics..? Feel free post any excess here on talk. Anyway, Bishonen's Saturday class in cake appreciation in full swing, see main page. Welcome join, little llywrch! Raid cake fridge, chill out in parlour, converse here! bishzilla _ROARR!! 19:31, 5 April 2014 (UTC).

[Sensei Bishonen deploys her conversational skills, to show how it's done. Polite tone + pinch of malice!] I see Bishzilla is working on her "innocent" persona today. You wouldn't think it was the same monster that cybered so happily with Floquenstein's monster, would you? Bishonen | talk 19:35, 5 April 2014 (UTC).

Dessert rock

Um, thanks for the invitation, but I really don't need "pocketing"; Wikipedia-wise, I need more time to sift over my research & improve articles. (I'm one of those rare Wikipedians who enjoy the research far more than the on-line quarreling. At the moment I'm working my way thru a monograph from the Smithsonian Institute, Retowski's Die Muenzen der Komnenen von Trapezunt. Between work, commuting & family, I just can't find the time to rewrite articles with the information I've found.) And I'm not sure I want to deal with Wikipedia's gang of humorless copyright-enforcers, so I'm reluctant to upload images from collections like this or that one. (These sources may not be fair use friendly.) Meanwhile, we average Joes & Joesephines can all imagine that these are the homes of the most respected & productive Wikipedians. Or Bishzilla's pocket, after the latest remodeling. -- llywrch (talk) 21:35, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

POEM:

• All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
  • "Who says words with my mouth?"
• Who looks out with my eyes? What is the soul?
  I cannot stop asking.

If I could taste one sip of an answer,
I could break out of this prison for drunks.
I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way.
Whoever brought me here, will have to take me home.

• • "Who says words with my mouth?"

Breakfast

Dimsum breakfast in Hong Kong

And a cup of tea

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring —
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone —
Then — in my childhood — in the dawn
Of a most stormy life — was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still —
From the torrent, or the fountain —
From the red cliff of the mountain —
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold —
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by —
From the thunder, and the storm —
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a daemon in my view —

Finally made it to Cake class, only to find it closed! Never mind: I don’t mind roughing it, and just happened to bring some traditional fare, so I'll hang about outside for a bit to see if anyone cares for a snack.

Please pocket my oh-so-good twin

Yo B'zilla baby,

How bout putting my high-minded other half in your pocket. He's driving me bonkers, and I want to be free to be of his virtuousness so I can practice my evil in peace. Not for too long—neither of us can survive long in a separated state—but for as long as you can stand his scrupulous, noble presence. I don't think you'll regret it: he's kind and considerate, housebroken, plays nicely with others, and even smells good (in a hypoallergenic way, of course). If you won't let him in, I'll just have to try harder to bring him over to the dark side. Rivertorch's Evil Twin (talk) 13:57, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Housebroken much appreciated! There have been some problems with the little Bigfoot, and some soot and smoldering from the little Smok. Hope good little River not too fastidious for ambience, or smell! [Bishzilla stuffs the little River straight into the Victorian parlour.] And stay there! No breakouts! bishzilla _ROARR!! 23:07, 18 May 2014 (UTC).

Breakouts? You must be kidding.The ambience here is lovely, and I'd never complain about secondhand smoke from a dragon. I'm even looking forward to the Fat Camp. Endorphins are sooo therapeutic! Rivertorch (talk) 04:58, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

zzzzzzzzzz-zzz-zz-z Uh...ah...wha— OMIGOD! I had the most terrible nightmare! I dreamed the world went crazy, and nothing made sense anymore. Too much cake before bedtime? Rivertorch (talk) 15:05, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Yes, probably, good little River! Would that cause scary automatic updating to extended confirmed user? Could be very serious! bishzilla _ROARR!! 15:12, 13 November 2016 (UTC).

Don't know, but I just checked my news feed—you might want to consider confiscating personal electronic devices in here, btw—and it wasn't just a nightmare, it really happened. Apparently a great menace arrived on the scene while I was safely pocketed. Too bad you can't pocket the whole planet, or at least roar some sense into certain elements. Anyway, I think it's probably time I sent my evil twin packing for a while. For one thing, he seems to be trying to take over my job, and I won't have that, and also, his evil is no match for real evil; only good can combat the real thing. Rivertorch (talk) 15:31, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Oh, a new user right. Never heard of it, but thank you. Will it let me breathe fire? Rivertorch (talk) 15:45, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Eating that much cake likely cause firebreathing, yes, little River. Bishzilla condole sadly with little Americans. Also with self, as distressingly surrounded by alarmed little NATO countries. Struck by rare attack of speechlessness at story of two tweets – laugh or roar? May be time for brumation. bishzilla _ROARR!! 16:45, 13 November 2016 (UTC).

Yeah, my first inclination is to brumate—and if that's not a verb, it damn well should be. Unfortunately, vigilance is no longer a luxury but a requirement for survival, and vigilance requires wakefulness. Maybe I can pack a small bundle of treats from the cake fridge to take with me when I go? Rivertorch (talk) 23:53, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

@Bishzilla: Hey, I think there's been an intruder in here; a lovely torte has gone missing from the fridge.

Umm . . . I'm flattered, 'zilla. Really. And you have the best pocket in the universe. But it has been over two and a half years and I think I'd like to go back now . . . and it turns out I always had the power.

What have I learned? If I ever go looking for my . . . uh . . . whatever it was I was looking for, I won't look any further than my own user space, because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with.

Goodbye, Darwinfish. Oh, don't cry. No one will notice (because even though you're an evolved fish, you're still a fish and people expect you to look wet).

Goodbye, Bishzilla. I know it isn't right, but I still miss the way you used to roar at vandals when blocking them.

And Darwinbish, I think I'll miss you most of all. Maybe I could come back and raid Bishzilla's fridg—I mean come back and visit sometime. There is ample precedent, after all.

Try not frighten the little Hans Adlers, haha! Dennis is in luck, new educational effort will surely appeal to him. Replace Bishonen's defunct fat camp (no success, little users like remain butterballs). Thinking of starting a class in the art of constructing and deploying radioactive deathray. (Hint: mainly by means of unusual diet. Indigestion at own risk!) Obviously superior admin tool, much in use in the glory days when Bishzilla was admin.[5] bishzilla _ROARR!! 23:28, 3 November 2014 (UTC).

Like so! [Bishzilla grabs the little Peter and stuffs him energetically into the Victorian parlour.] There now. Feel free enjoy facilities, music, poetry, converse with the little MONGO (something of a fixture) and any other residents.. [Zilla hasn't counted them lately.] Fridge empty, but will be refilled in a jiffy. Enjoy ad lib! Later on, may wish to visit Winter sports branch. Much more snow than in the little user's not-so-frozen North! bishzilla _ROARR!! 18:28, 21 February 2015 (UTC).

Awesome sauce! While I'm here, I thought we might do make us an Entre-Met...

Peter ^Isotalo 18:53, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

On Dishes that are served first on Saucers/ and then stacked in a heap on a large Plate/ which are called in French/ Entre-Mets

5. Cow Teats or Udders.

Boil them well/ and when they are cooked through/ slice them/ and sue use them for garnsish for your dish. Or have them fried in a Pan with green Spices and Onion/ and then boil in the best Soup that you have at hand/ so that they get a strong Flavor/ and the Soup becomes firm before they are served.

• [Bishzilla always healthy appetite, but gags when confronted with this dish.] Mammals and mammalian appendages pretty weird, for sure! Little user in odd mood today! [Bishzilla pushes the little user down into the Victorian sofa so firmly that the springs twang. Closes the catflap and removes the ladders.] Stay!

In the wild woods, among the mountains lone,

Where waterfalls around it leap for ever,

Where woods and winds contend, and a vast river

Over its rocks ceaselessly bursts and raves. Percy Bish Shelley (talk) 18:15, 14 March 2015 (UTC).

Ozymandias (P.B. Shelley) Hafspajen (talk) 19:22, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown

And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

What, no year-round amenities?

Disturbing news, this. Surely, in the interest of instant gratification and first-world harmony, there must be a way to keep the winter sports branch open year round. Why, I'll bet that a mere two or three coal-fired power plants would easily power the necessary refrigeration equipment and snow guns. Sounds feasible to me! What's next—depriving the little pocketlings of their preferred fresh produce merely because it's out of season and has to be flown in from another hemisphere? Denying them Beluga caviar just because it happens to come from endangered fish? Let them eat cake, she says. Fine, fine, and maybe keeping the luge track frozen in July is overkill, but what if another one of them gets stuck in the catflap because of all those calories they couldn't burn off on the cross-country ski trail? Bet you didn't think of that! It's outrageous. If I weren't an authoritarian neo-fascist, I'd advocate open revolt. Rivertorch's Evil Twin (talk) 06:18, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
