Sweet. I'm also looking forward to her thoughts on Dog and Pony Show.

Honestly when I see things like that I just kinda want to read the entire thing to see if it's any more or less ridiculous in context.
I showed that picture to Buttercup and she squeed and commented that she's "so big". Also she wants to know if Lain has the "baby's first Magic card kit".
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
Lain is not a heaper because Lain does not post here!! :p It would be interesting if she did though. But... I think that maybe her parents, being well-versed in the ways of the internet, might not like to expose such a young child to its weirdness? ^_^ I would but that is a different story.

If her father is a heaper, that makes her a heaper.
Besides, he coudl let her touch the keyboard and go all q4e3ipuoerfijefriujaeuijlq on us.

Well, she's not really talking in coherent sentences yet, so it's not like she'd offer much to the community.
Given I've already met a 14 year old who writes grim-dark Pony fan-fiction, I pretty much accepted the Lain's probably going to grow up to be pretty familiar with weird internet shenanigans.

I must insist that a "heaper" is only someone who posts here. I am very uncomfortable with the idea that it is a special subculture title or something, or that we are some kind of hive-mind that Aliroz is on the outside of because he is unique. Sometimes, we have to take a step back and think: the Trash Heap is a hangout created by some dorks on the internet for chatting about stuff. That is all it is. People who frequent the Trash Heap are "heapers." People who do not frequent the Trash Heap are not heapers. There is nothing special or unique or inherently meaningful about posting on this particular message board. Thinking that there is is something Kurt Vonnegut once dubbed "granfalloonery."
Perhaps this is not such a good conversation to have in Justice and Friday's baby thread? :o But anyway the point is that heaper-ness is a behavior, not a trait, so it cannot be inherited.

Like, it's almost a dangerous mentality. It's called a "hugbox" or "echo chamber" or something I think. A group on the internet starts to form its own unusual culture and then it becomes difficult to interact with humans outside of it.
I'd say we do have a culture, but are not our own culture. That said, I agree with Miko that this topic is better had elsewhere (especially since I am interested in it).

Ah, noted. I basically agree with Justice and Miko, though we do have our own/a culture, of course. To clarify, I mean how we're rather mix-and-match, here-and-there, as a whole, since all of the members tend to go off in their own direction; it's a heap of people just put together.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Like, we're different people, very different in fact, but I like that we all have this one thing in common. This one thing is what I meant.
I mean, let's say Lincoln High School Class of 1986 (just some random thing I made up on the fly) may not exactly be a culture, but it's a group of people with some things in common that in some way identify by that, if that makes any sense. So while we're not exactly a culture, I do think we're something at any rate.
