Alter Ego Thread, v. 2010.1
Pick a pseudonym; guess who the other pseudonymous posters are while they try to guess you. It’s a little like “Battleship.”
Continued from version 2009.4.
REMINDER: Check your posts before sending them — the preview button is useful for that. The Administrators will not rescue you if you accidentally submit one under your “real” blogname or post elsewhere with your alter ego.
Dissing Mr. Joe, 2010
How did we get this far along in 2010 without a new installment of this thread? Vent your frustrations and display your creativity by abusing the blog’s favorite scapegoat, 
. It really does seem to make people feel better.

Zeppelin Sightings
Prussianian fans: Fantasy Fan sent us her long-awaited zeppelin illustrations. We’re adding this announcement since some of the RRR participants may not show up before the post sinks out of sight on Recent Comments.
Muse Academy May Day Ball 2010
The biggest event of the academic year begins. The decorations are up, the food is ready, the musicians are practiced, rested, and in tune.
The ball lasts just a few hours in Musiverse time but unfolds over a whole month of blog time.
Formal attire required. Fortunately, all clothing is virtual, flattering in every respect, and incredibly comfortable to wear.
Note: the rooftop garden will open anon.

Random Thread: Gloriana’s Realm
Continuing its year-long trek through space and time, this month’s Random Thread celebrates Elizabethan England. (In Edmund Spenser’s epic poem The Faerie Queene, the character Gloriana represented Queen Elizabeth I.)
Stop Making Sense
In keeping with our theme of tomfoolery, this thread is reserved for pure randomness, pointless posts, and non sequiturs.

Lists, Lists, Lists
Why do we so love our lovely lists?
1. They’re fun.
2. They’re a way to pretend one is organized.
3. They look nice.
4. They satisfy one’s sense of order and futility all at the same time.
5. They give one a sense of accomplishment even while procrastinating
6. They look like they mean something.
7. They’re full of Muserly froodiness.

Random Thread: “Interesting Times,” Part 3
Europe came late to kite-flying, no mention of them is made there until the 16th century CE. Meanwhile, the Chinese had been flying kites since the 4th or 5th century BCE. They served many uses besides entertainment, from military technology to meditation. Some played music. Some featured animals with eyes, paws, or tails that moved. We’ll have just enough time to catch a quick glimpse of these high-flying kites as we sail through the last day of February’s Random thread. Read more »

Defining MuseBlog (Since 2005)
Define the undefinable, you say? We wouldn’t be Muserly if we didn’t try from time to time. Below the fold, a compendium of quips in quest of the MuseBlog quintessence, a celebration of those moments when je ne sais quoi almost spake its name.
[This thread inspired by Princess_Magnolia’s comment about KaiYves’s sketch: “I have to admit I’ve never ever thought about ‘personified space stations’ before. You have officially brought a whole new dimension to my thinking.]

Random Thread: Anchors Aweigh, Part 2
