Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

I know, of course, most of you have come through from the LJ group. Welcome! I'm pretty sure there are some who found this group through Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, though. I'm curious to know who found the group which way. So how did you find this group, from LJ or Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ?

From LJ.

LJ

Post on LJ, of course.

*hops on bandwagon* The LJ post, yes. :)

LJ~~

Dare I ask about the logo? I've been pondering it the last couple of days... I don't remember seeing it on LJ, although I just went and looked and it is there. Maybe it's because I always read via the Friends Page?

Whatever, I've missed the story of its reason and genesis so please put me out of my misery and explain it to me! (I have a theory, which I'll share once I know the official version.)

Thanks!

It's been our logo for a while, though not always, and was made by Parker, who is brilliant. It's a teaspoon, rainbow coloured because slash. Why a teaspoon? Because The Slash Pile = TSP = teaspoon.

I'm curious to here what your theory was, whether or not you got it right.

No, I didn't get it right. I got the rainbow bit and I thought may the spoon was for mixing, to indicate that it didn't matter where on the (gender and or sexual) spectrum anyone was or whether they stayed there.

That's a pretty good theory too! Some people also think it looks like some kind of sex toy, so there's that too.

Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, surprisingly; I just happened to be browsing through the G/L groups here. I missed seeing whatever notice you posted at LJ.

Well, in any case, welcome! Glad you found us somehow.

Found this group through a new friend, who is a member (or founder?) and that piqued my interest.

Hey, Potatoe!

Yup, founder, that's me. Hi new friend!

lol I just saw this thread and was reading further back, and saw the explanation for the logo. For some reason I'd been thinking it was some sort of sex toy as well... I guess I hadn't ever looked at it closely. But the real reason for it makes sense :)

(Also because I don't think I ever answered, I also found out through lj)

We should do a poll some day. How many people think our logo is a sex toy.

I thought it was a baby rattle. =_=
But I can see now that makes no sense.
And that's HUGE for a teaspoon.
You should shrink the head more...
though that would probably just make it look even more like a sex toy.
uh... nvm...

Actually, come to think of it, I think I thought it was maracas XD And then I thought that made no sense so I assumed it was some sort of sex toy or something.

But now that I know the meaning of it, suddenly the T. Spoon makes a looooot more sense from the anthology XD

wait our logo looks like a sextoy?

wow, no wonder people think we're a shady bunch

Hi i wanted to keep track of new book recs and always followed this group on LJ. The people here are always very nice

LJ. *waves* Great site for great recs and discussions. Glad to see it has it's own GR community now as well.

If that's a sex toy, it's a rather wimpy one. Happy to know the truth behind the spoon. ;)

Linked from Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.

Originally from LJ years ago but recently found from a GR members' profile page. Hopefully I'll remember to keep up with the group postings/recs now that it's on GR.

The GR group has actually pretty much fallen into inactivity! Tumblr is the best place to keep track of us now:

One of my favorite comics Bonehead was just listed on your list so I thought I'd check in and say thanks for recognizing it!
