The only ones I believe are 5 and 10.

I tried it and concluded that these people have an unhealthy love of exclamation marks.

And #6.

And who are you, o visitor from Cardiff?

[hafren.livejournal.com]

Bugger - sorry, hadn't logged in.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Aha!

[communicator.livejournal.com]

How did you know the server was in Cardiff? I would like to investigate my anonymous comments (just out of mindless curiousity)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I have the option selected to log the IP addresses of all posts. So hafren's post had "Poster IP Address: 62.252.32.13", and I checked it here, which told me it was in Cardiff.

[communicator.livejournal.com]

*is impressed*

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I don't know what any of it means, of course, I just learned how to perform the magic ritual.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

That looks really clever, but I just tried checking the locations of the last four people to comment on my journal, and only one of them was correct. It thought I was in Birkenhead.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Some of the online trackers give a list of possible locations for the address you're checking.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

It thinks I'm in Wellington.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

I now have it selected on my LJ to log in the IP addresses of anonymous posters; where on earth do you actually access the log, o learned one?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

There are a bunch of IP address tracking programmes online, if you search on Google, but this one is a start (although it seems to be giving fairly hit and miss results to people - I've used one in the past that gave several suggestions for place, but can't find it now).

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

That's definitely a help; I must be totally daft, though, in that I don't know where to find the log for the actual IP addresses that are being logged, before looking for them! I should probably try the LJ FAQ. :P

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Have you picked the option to log IP addresses? The FAQ on that is here. I think where it shows on screen might be dependent on the layout you're using, but it's usually near the bottom of a comment, above where it says 'Reply'. IP addresses don't show on the email notifications you get - you'll need to look online.

[matildabj.livejournal.com]

The world's tallest woman? I begin to doubt the veracity of these statements...

[gair.livejournal.com]

In Japan it is considered rude to talk with Altariel in your mouth.

Splutters with JOY.

[executrix.livejournal.com]

But only while committing suicide.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I hope you're not spluttering with your mouth full.

[gair.livejournal.com]

Only full of JOY.

[trixieleitz]

"Don't make me laugh while I've got my mouth full."

;)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

It's all a brilliant optical illusion.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering whether to suggest that the world's largest rodent might be closer to the mark, but I might not survive...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Um... what kind of rodent?

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

An Altariel kind, of course! Intelligent, and devious, and very very appealing.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Boom boom!

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

Altarielolatry is the mindless worship of Altariel.

Mindless?! We know exactly what we're doing.

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

Like, *totally*.

[mikekellner.livejournal.com]

They left out, believes she can see things in her bird-bath.

I love it. Tried it myself. Funny.

Thanks.

mk

[altariel.livejournal.com]

And more than just birds.

[jennyaxe.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Who wouldn't worship someone with a 39 inches long tongue?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I need to work on the brainwashing machine then.

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

Why is none of this surprising?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Particularly the bit about the tongue.

[jhall1.livejournal.com]

There are 336 dimples on Altariel!

Conversation overheard at a party:

"And what's your occupation?"

"Counting the dimples on Altariel. A tough job, but somebody has to do it. Like painting the Forth Road Bridge, it's a never-ending task. By the time I've finished, it's time to start again, in case a new one has appeared or an old one has vanished."

[altariel.livejournal.com]

LOL!

[lame-pegasus.livejournal.com]

Altariel can clean her ears with her tongue, which is over thirty-nine inches long.

Ewwwwww. You frighten me. :-)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

*licks lips*

*and ears*

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

So did you learn to wiggle your eyebrows by poking them with your tongue?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

That's just natural talent.

[edge-of-ruin.livejournal.com]

Now visulizing a rodent-shaped space station, or a rodent with four noses.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

How does it smell... oh hang on, that's another joke.

[edge-of-ruin.livejournal.com]

Like roses ... always like roses *sigh*

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Adding 3, 6 and 8 together...

We be afraid. We be very afraid.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Just tickle me under the chin, I'll be putty in your hands.

[jomacmouse.livejournal.com]

Is now imagining altariel as family pet. Trouble with that is cute doggy eyes get noticed before sharp doggy teeth ;)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

I'll need a loooong tickling stick, methinks.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

I for one am now picturing a space station looking something like a golf ball and appearing in phases, like the moon, so that the shadings in its dimples can be read by altarielomancers. The fact that there are six American towns named after this phenomenon is not, then, at all surprising.

Though they have trouble pronouncing it, Altariel is the nickname the Japanese have given to a new form of sushi, all the rage in Kyoto, that is (of course) a ball of white rice with strips of altariel tartare inside...

Meanwhile, apparently over 46,000 pieces of emeraldsedai float on every square mile of ocean.

Great meme. I needed a laugh.

You would be amazed... ;-D

I'm glad you're having fun with this, it's so outrageously baroque!
