   Huh… Well, at least us B people know where we stand…

   Ah, but what about those of us who keep bees?

   You should add everyone who has ever been on google buzz.

   Crap. My middle name starts with B! And it’s my first name on my profile! That should be good enough.

   Do you play Kingdom of Loathing? The current ascension challenge is highly appropriate to this (Bees Hate You – mainly, can’t use/eat/drink items containing the letter ‘b’, equipment with ‘b’ in it hurts you pretty hard for each ‘b’, and monsters with ‘b’ in their name are tougher).

   My middle name has a B in it. Can I join your sweet google+ hipster club? I promise I shant virtually teabag your Red Vines!

   Oh great. So I voted, but I don’t get to be in the damn circle? NO CIRCULARIZATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

   I think Nicolas Cage deserves honorary acceptance into this circle.

    This is the happiest day of my life.

    I know someone who recently spotted a Craigslist ad offering free bees. I’m given to understand that this is actually a desirable commodity for gardeners; still, I suggested that he should email them asking if he could get one of those free bees. Or that he should write them a very long email proclaiming his urgent need to obtain as many Bs as possible – an email that didn’t otherwise use the letter B (hence the need for the length; it’s not a frequently used letter). And see if the Craigslist spotted the joke (it might be necessary to highlight it by substituting another letter for ‘B’, as in the Monty Python sketch of the man who can’t say the letter ‘C’. Such juvenile responses would have been unkind to the Craigslist poster, and we didn’t do any of them.

    Damn, and I was really hoping for your Mom.

    ‘Cause, ya know, she’s great.

    Steve Simmons:

    You know my mom reads this blog, right?

    OH BOY AWKWARDNESS

    (Also, your mom wants me to tell you she’s better)

    The hive mind has obviously spoken…

    Hopefully not in the corner in this case :)

    So this means that “Inadvertently Tasted” is still available for my use? Excellent!

    Would noted Apiculturalist Neil Gaiman be in this circle?

    The “Pick the Title of My Next Google+ Circle” post struck me as oddly similar to the ever-present 4chan/b “Pick my facebook status” posts. And then keeping with the ‘B’ theme, you picked Bees. I feel like there is something there, but it eludes me.

    If you ever do a “Hipsters/Emos/Bastards/Mac Users” circle, I’d like to be added since I’m pretty sure I meet at least one of those criteria. (At least.)

    Nice to know which circle I’m in…
21. Michael A. Burstein says:

    Well, in that case, let me add you to one of my circles here….

    Nobody has posted this yet? For shame, internets.

    Awesome!!!! My middle name and surname both start with “B”. So I’m “B’s” all the way thru…

    Not too many ways to say this in print and have it sound serious, as opposed to sarcastic, but I’m dead serious:

    “Of which at this point admittedly there are not many.”

    That’s a lovely sentence. That’s going on my Big Corkboard o’ Greatness.

    What about people who shoot bees from their hands?
26. Steve Burnap says:
    July 14, 2011 at 3:43 pm

    I heartily approve!
27. Another Liz says:
    July 14, 2011 at 8:05 pm

    And dogs with bees in their mouths?

    Happy to bee in the bee circle. Bzz bzz.
28. David Bullock says:

    Is the B circle an….INNER circle?
29. Matt Austern says:

    On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a bee.

    I am privileged to be among the ranks of “John Scalzi’s Killer B’s.” Thank you. :-)

    I doubt she has Google+, or has a B in her surname, but I submit for your consideration Ellie the labrador, who ate a beehive full of dead bees and for a week afterward, literally pooped bees:

    Stumbled across the link just today and couldn’t help thinking of this.
