If this is true
Then it'll be a mighty peeve.
If it isn't, then I'm just a paranoid wierdo.

I think that the reason we're getting so many repeats of QOTWs is so that the b3ta overlords have enough material for a book.

We're like cattle to them, milk us of stories until we're dry.

But how can that be
I've been ever so careful to make sure i wear my tinfoil hat at all times to keep them out of my mind.

It's true
It must be, all the signs are pointing to it.

Tin foil amplifies the signals you fool!

You have to purify the tap water, it's the drugs they put into it that let them get to you.

GAH!!
Not the delicious water, they wouldn't be so evil.

Seriously though...
I think they're making a book.
Of the "best" QOTW answers.
And the ones they need more material for, they're reposting.

Scary
because it makes an awful lot of sense. I wonder if any of us will see royalty checks for our contributions?

Doubt it.

time for all of us to just become contributors to Zoo, Nuts etc

nah
if our posts don't make it into the newsletter there's no way they'd get into a book.

I don't mean
*OUR* posts, I mean QOTW posts in general.

There's gonna be a book, I swear.

Why would people buy a book
of freely-available archived information?

Cos they're lazy
and can't be bothered to trawl through pages just to get to the good stuff.

Dunno...
People buy the B3ta bumper book of sick jokes though.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Thu 8 May 2008, 11:17, closed)

There was a book a while back
Called 'Fathers Wit and Wisdom' or some such which featured a lot of B3tan quotes among many others.

I have no idea what the 'arrangement' was.

*lead-foil hat firmly screwed on*

*ow*

Shut up and put the sucky things back on your teats
Erm, no book in the offing at the moment... it'd be nice to do, but I know how much work the Sick Joke Book was.

Repeats are just us screwing up and forgetting we'd already asked a question. (and me being away on holiday!)

Lead hat
That would be better than my crappy tin one.

*goes to change into a suit of lead armour*

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, read my mind now, overlords of b3ta.

I've Been
Thinking of doing a QOTW mashup for ages but I haven't got the time...

I also want to do a podcast version but, again, time is the bugger.

Maybe one day...

Cheers

Leave my teats alone, dammit!

Thanks for confirming I'm paranoid...
*locks himself in the house, prepares for 4-hour shoot-out with the police*

So, we can expect a shiny new QOTW today then?

I was amazed they haven't done one already...
