hello friends and gentleorbs! you might have noticed some strange behavior recently in our beloved subforum. spectral appearances, rattling chains, snacks going missing, that sort of thing. I don't want to scare anyone, but I think we've been the victim of a haunting . . . by not one but two malevolent presences, full of the mischief and hatred we typically associate with coupons & deals. what's more these ghosts seem to have illegally appointed themselves with IK powers, which is decidedly impertinent!

enough is enough! I'm sorry to use harsh language but ghosts are now ILLEGAL in byob, at least until they learn to behave themselves. so to any banshees, wraiths, and phantasms that may be lurking about, you are hereby asked to please exit the subforum quietly and above all QUICKLY. trouble us no more, maybe you'll find release from your eternal torment by posting in e/n or taking up a hobby or something.

thanks in advance for your cooperation!

I gotta be honest here folks, bustin' makes me feel just 'okay'. idk maybe i'm not doing it right?

a lot of these bustin' manuals I'm reading emphasize the importance of focusing on the ghost's experience

I hope someone with a big loving vacuum cleaner shows up to suck up these god-forsaken ghosts and send them straight back to hell where they belong.

if you do it right, you can sort of suck the ghost out of the haunted location like sucking snot out of a baby's nose with one of those little bulb syringe things

rmm your compassion is very byob but this is really for the protection of the ghost, so they don't hurt themselves (or someone else)

Wow this is not the inclusive forum that was advertised

listen, maybe in the afterlife carpet cleaning is free or incredibly cheap or something, I don't know. but here on this mortal plane it costs an arm and a leg to get bloodstains out of our nice persian rugs. these "oceans of blood" you and your companion have been conjuring may seem amusing to you but it's danged expensive to clean up after, and we can't have it! so scoot, unless you're maybe willing to reimburse us for the damage? hmm? didn't think so.

We were just critiquing your poor choice of decor

I know I know, if it were up to you we'd decorate in screams and entrails. not everything has to be kitsch all the time, and we need those entrails! they let us digest things!

I took the O's just because it felt good. It gave me a little thrill. And then I just threw them all out the window of a moving car. That's right. They're scattered all over the interstate highway. You're never getting 'em back. And maybe next year I'll do it again. Maybe I'll take some A's-- you like that? You like that you freaky little mortal creeps? You into that Georges Perec poo poo?

here we go. every time you try to reason with a ghost, sooner or or later it comes down to excuses about postmodernism, or "ghostmodernism" as you abominations like to say. well guess what? it isn't funny! just substituting "ghost" for other words quickly becomes tiresome and obvious! get some new jokes, maybe you can run down to the joke store, which is coincidentally not in this subforum.

Have i mentioned my position re: ghosts and whether or ain't i am afraid of them?

can't say it too many times imo! also thanks for coming out of retirement to help us deal with this situation, it's quickly escalating and my strategy for dealing with it, namely eating a bunch of tacos, doesn't seem to be doing much and I'm running out of hot sauce!

What if we just, like

Be nice to the ghosts and ask them to be our friends

We could play HOT KNIFE with them

hot knife is a good idea but if they want to be friends they could start by returning our "o"s!

finally, a gesture of common decency!

less "immunity" than a . . . reprieve of sorts?
