As a rule I don’t link to trolls. They get more hits than me anyway. There’s no way I am sending my paltry sum of readers out of here. However this particular troll who is a little baby hawk chick is just plain charming. Almost can imagine little hawk pottering over the keyboard.
So the baby bok has decided to have a contest for the supposed shortlisted prima donnas. I simply love my team mates. What I like about this troll is the amount of research this little one has put in. I give you my fabulous team mates – Megha, Buchu and Primalsoup. There are five other teams. I am assuming the little chick is going to feature games that don’t make an appearance in the Olympics.
However little hawk chick – I am disappointed. You obviously don’t read my blog enough. Or you’d see that I am a selfish, capitalist, mildly objectivist, anarchist and selectively atheist. Damn. I want to be Captain please. Please, please? As of now, I am just highly entertained and amused by this trollger. *snort*
Other wonderful women in the august gathering include eM, Annie, Mint Chutney, Teleute, Punkster Megha, Aishwariya, Rashmi, Rimi, Sakshi Juneja, Charukesi, Ideasmith, Vishkanya, Thalassa Mikra, Uma, Ph, M, Ash, Mangs, Sonia and Shoefiend.

I disagree!
I am the captain and I have a responsibility to my team-mates as well.
So my team-mates rock even more.
so there.
;)
I’m most pleased with my team! Plus i get to be the entertainer! i knew being a tam would come in handy one day
The most intelligent comment I can make of all of this is, ‘Huh?’
Next up, trading cards of female desi bloggers with stats on them…. (crap, someone will make a mint off of that idea…)
For what it’s worth, Neha, I just sort of see you as a human being with interesting perspectives.
Sometimes people can call you left wing or right wing, sometimes socialist or capitalist, sometimes anarchist, but you’re always Neha.
Still, I suppose it keeps Da Bok from harassing me, so go for it.
Hmm.. second time commenting on this post. First one flew off, quite unlike the “cute” Baby Hawk Chick.
Btw, we think that these contests will be lame. The reason being, the best contests are the ones that have five or six members in each team. The only four member teams that I know of currently are in the contests hosted by the likes of Ramya Krishnan and such. With the organizer hating all Tams, I am not sure how he/she/It will view this uncanny resemblance to Thanga Vettai (loosely translated to Gold Hunt)!.
appa naan?
…wow. celebrity deathmatch, anyone?
I like my team (hello, team!)
I am very excited about all these games; I bet they must be fun… And of course I love my team, we really have a fabulous chance to win, especially since weren’t we all there in the earlier Top 10 list also? Which means we are the survivors!
I don’t think you should start a captaincy conflict issue though, united type front must be presented! :) One does wonder though, what the captain will actually do, the role is rather poorly defined.
Though it is a bit of a clever ploy, this teams business… I mean the sisterhood is very clearly being subjected to some good old – Divide and Rule blah! Imagine the bloodshed that will happen should we take this contest seriously [not that we will…though if there is some contest, we might as well win it, no?! :)]
Good job Ms Soundbytes Manager, now let me get back to entertaining the world! :)
Primalsoup: One does wonder though, what the captain will actually do, the role is rather poorly defined.
Huh..? what poorly defined? The Gaptain’s role is known to one and all. He will do what he does best, i.e. err fight bakistan dheevaravaadhis! :D
Nega: Sorry for the arbit Tam references, but when one sees hatred, one’s always compelled to strike with great vengence, quite like Gaptain!
oho! so Ms. primalsoup has started discriminating against the newbies!
but see! this is the divide and rule youre talking about. Whatever happened to universal sisterhood?
anyway, you oldies dont stand a chance.
:P
What do we get if we win? Do we actually get anything?? Or just one of those virtual Hi-Fis and Huggies??
I am assuming the little chick is going to feature games that don’t make an appearance in the Olympics
I’ll take “Feline Scuffle” for 500, please.
kidding, kidding.
Who thought I would make it on any shortlist. Least of all one concerning blogs. :)
Aha. Desisexists.
Reads like a who’s who of the desi women bloggers. But some glaring omissions like Alpha, Veena, Twilight, Shub are gonna be mighty pissed at being passed over.
I feel this is a part of a major conspiracy…how can I compete against my very own?? I know winning shall come easy for my team, but naahhh not its just not the right thing to do.
*I am the captain* yuppy !!!! :)
[...] to get some more kicking on his already flat ass. ps. Neha has thoughts on the chick troll, here. EMail This Post :+: 0 Views :+: Popularity:unranked [...]
Punkster Megha: We’ll just have to play a little to find out no? Very importantly – am I a newbie or an oldie?
Shoefiend: Being Tam is very handy. I wonder what would happen if we were the other Tam – Tamarind!
Taran: Trading cards is it? :) Thanks for that though – I have no desire to slot myself into a million labels – however I subscribe to some of them. But yes, if I am seen as Neha – first and foremost – nothing like it.
Anantha – Rotfl! I know Thanga Vettai – I saw quite a few episodes recently. Mostly I was cowering with fear because of Ramya Krishnan’s very aggressive game hosting skills. References to Tam movies are always welcome. So much fun I tell you.
Nilu – You remain the maanga saar. (Raw Mango at that). Very hard to reach your levels. This little chick doesn’t even have the wings to come up to the tree where the maanga grows. (Ayyooo)
Aishwariya – Hello to just team? Sniff.
Primalsoup: I personally thing our Captain is quite an entertainer too. We’ll have rota between ourselves. Keep trading team positions. Nice fun. If we took this contest seriously – people might pay to come and watch.
Sakshi – That the baby hawk will have to answer. I am guessing because of its younge age – it may not have realized what it has gotten into. Poor Bok.
km: Ggrrr. Jealous because no one is going around compiling lists of male bloggers?
Ph: Ummmm..
Patrix: Think we should have another set of teams? And mail them to the chick? So the little birdy doesn’t make such glaring errors? I think the baby chick grew up in Bangalore – that is why this whole thing about seperate teams for women. Hhmm.
Thanks Patrix darling. Chummikins, if I can make it to your list that’s more than enough for me..
(now make sure Ash doesnt read this :) )
But clearly, the hawk has his/her own reservations criteria. In all the reservation quotas here, (the Queen of the Blogging sweepstakes and the longest list of admirers, feminist/socialist/leftist/etc., angsty, weepy, thinking, weird people, Tams, Bongs, Snobs and assorted creatures); I dont make it in any list! maybe now I should organise some protest marches :p :D
I’m rather surprised I’m not the entertainer of the group. I may not be Bengali, but I certainly fall into the “Tams, snobs and assorted creatures” category. Hmph.
Fine, Neha. Hello to non-team competitor type people also.;)
Neha, thanks for drawing attention to this strange phenomenon- ‘the hawk’. I was moved…in a not very nice way…enough by his shenanigans to write this post:
http://bendinggender.blogspot.com/2006/05/hawkishness-and-voice.html
Snippet from it pasted here:
…..Now this construct that has come out of the hawk’s bitter imagination – India’s popular female bloggers- has allowed him to delineate, put a name and virtual face to his adversary- the enemy, the subject of his spite and aggressive blogging. Not like the women have asked to be made his ‘opponents’/’targets’. But that they have been, to me, is telling.
This is a hawk-construed tussle over ‘Voice’. On the one hand, articulate, bright women with lives- obviously interesting lives and views that they share with us on their blogs. This can be lovely, looked at from one angle. Young bright women ahoy. Good for you all! But is problematic if looked at from another. The hawk obviously occupies this latter space……
I got made captain? I NEVER got made captain, this is truly a touching moment *wipes tears from eyes* Clearly he has NOOOOOOOO idea about my terrible leadership skills.
Oh well.
Hah, this is hilarious ! This is awesome company I find myself in, both my team and other teams … I feel like going all Oscar-weepy about the honor of being nominated with such hallowed company etc etc!
LOL@ Twilight Fairy … chummikins … you should have seen his face go as red as a baboon’s ass !
And no no no … I refuse be dragged into a mud fight , no matter how much the guys may want it !
Twilight Fairy: Chummikins!?!? You call Patrix Chummikins! Faints.
Aishwariya: Welcome to this grand twinkling world of snobs now!
nikita: I remember Dina did a wonderful post about this sometime back – on trolls. But yes, there is a gender issue lurking here as well. You see, this chick has an issue with any female blogger who displays any intelligence. As long as you don’t threaten an existing equation of power or dialogue – nobody minds. If you do – well then they talk about who you are. They attack your identity instead of arguing with your content. Old tricks. New Chicks.
eM: *Giving one of those badges with Captain threaded in Gold* – Now you can sew that on you blazer and wear it!
Ash: We all remote control Patrix through you. :) We must write our thank you notes now.. Long Weepy ones.
ok neha youve clearly scared the baby hawk chick troll, I mean let him fly a little bit dammit!
snort!
And I was made captain too, *sniff………sniff*……..
‘Old tricks. New Chicks’.
WOW!:)
‘Old tricks. New Chicks’.
WOW!:)
Some f this reminds me of this New Yorker cartoon, which recently came to my attention.
Also it occuors to me maybe this poor ‘chick’ has mutliple hots for all of you vedy vedy famous desi blogging ‘chicks’. :)
Ash, send me some pics. Of P’s face i.e. not a baboon’s ass.
Neha, no, I usually don’t refer to Patrix as anything else but Patrix (no, not even tinda/trixy – some nicks very close to his heart) but I kinda got overwhelmed by being included in at least some list.. :)
now both of you shush down otherwise I’ll never get included in any list of his ever again! :p
orre scene…
Oh how I missed the hawk.. without his place to troll, my life was empty. and now, thanks to you and megha (the punk who passed on the link to me) I am saved!! Long live the punching bag.. i mean ..hawk
People, people would you please keep the noise level down! I am trying to strategize over my next weepy post. I feel I have failed our friend with my last one where I posted pictures of my dog on his 1st birthday.
