You are close; I was born in the year of the Tiger! :lol:....it's all fun and games in here. I am old enough to be my crush's mom! :nod:
I'm a tiger too, mom Janine :lol:
(I'll reply to the other posts after this one :D)

[Janine]

I'm a tiger too, mom Janine :lol:
(I'll reply to the other posts after this one :D)

:lol: I see you finally came alive; you probably just woke up...:lol:...right, 'mom Janine'. Well, I didn't want anyone to get the wrong ideas. But then again, you could refer to me as Mrs. Robinson instead. :lol: Grrrr....

[Maximilianus]

Oh horrors! Thank God there was no marketing, nor a producer; it's in the archives in Hollywood, buried somewhere! Thank God, no one has suggested a second showing. Some of the views were truly blackmail material. Mind you, nothing indecent involving me:lol:
Poster's been doing some editing work lately :brow: ... :lol:


I think it was a late night hijacking of this thread. I will have to confess now, that I have a crush on someone with a very long name, but alas, he's too young for me....story of my life! :nod: Yep....
Aw, poor Janine! ... too young for you, isn't he? :p


Actually, I should not say this; but I don't think they were naughty that night. They both were too worn out. :lol: Later, if they weren't a bit naughty, I would not have my lovely grand-daughter. Wish they would get naughty again and give me a grandson, too.
I have always wondered what couples do when no one is seeing them. What's all this thing about honeymoon, and baby factory working late at night, uh? Can anyone explain? What's its appeal and how does it work? Aw, I'm so naive...

....

:p ... :lol:

Ohhhh..one of those foot fetish guys....eekkk.....:eek2:
Footsies :banana: .... :lol:

I was born with ESP sensors! I am a pisces!
I am Libra! Beware of the scales of justice! :p


:lol: :lol: :lol:
But beware, Max, before you go for kidnapping - Scandinavian ladies might have swords to defend themselves with if they don't want to be kidnapped ;) And surely their fathers would not be unarmed either, so you'd better be careful! :banana:
That's what I love about Valkyries :brow:
... though... I can be really convincing :brow:


:lol: I see you finally came alive; you probably just woke up...:lol:...right, 'mom Janine'. Well, I didn't want anyone to get the wrong ideas. But then again, you could refer to me as Mrs. Robinson instead. :lol: Grrrr....
I was actually grabbing my furniture to move to this thread for good. It's such a lively house, Mrs. Robinson, that I thought I could just come and live here :p :lol:

Hey tiger, I have news for you, Mrs. Robinson is in dire need of her her beauty sleep! NO 4 o'clockers for me tonight. I am already looking like this :eek2: You'll have to delay you move till tomorrow night; I may be livelier then. :lol:


Poster's been doing some editing work lately :brow: ... :lol: Wait! I missed this post. It's highly entertaining. You don't miss a thing, do you? I did edit something out; I wondered what others might think. I will tell you about it someday - as I said before - boys will be boys!


Aw, poor Janine! ... too young for you, isn't he? :p ahh...yes, just slightly...think so...


I have always wondered what couples do when no one is seeing them. What's all this thing about honeymoon, and baby factory working late at night, uh? Can anyone explain? What's its appeal and how does it work? Aw, I'm so naive...

Sure thing...you expect me to believe you??? :goof:


....

:p ... :lol: ditto!



Footsies :banana: .... :lol: :lol: I know that game!


I am Libra! Beware of the scales of justice! :p I knew that already; it's in your profile page.


That's what I love about Valkyries :brow:

hahah...good one!

This Sleeping Beauty is going to bed soon....

I understand, I'm feeling eyelids falling too so I think I'll just follow your example this time :p .... Goodnight Mrs. Robinson :wave:


Wait! I missed this post. It's highly entertaining. You don't miss a thing, do you? I did edit something out; I wondered what others might think. I will tell you about it someday - as I said before - boys will be boys!
Okay :) ... and.... nope, I can't miss anything. I am a trained S.W.A.T. remember? :p

I knew that already; it's in your profile page. :D


hahah...good one!:angel: :D

I understand, I'm feeling eyelids falling too so I think I'll just follow your example this time :p .... Goodnight Mrs. Robinson :wave:
:lol: So did you make it to your pillow early? I still didn't get there early enough. I was watching 'Special Features' for a movie. If it isn't Litnet I am addicted to, then it's something else. Guess I am just nocturnal!
Okay :) ... and.... nope, I can't miss anything. I am a trained S.W.A.T. remember? :p[/quote] Remind me to tell you a funny story about one of those real teams.

:Dditto

:angel: :D Ahhh...sweet...

Is Janine Mrs. Robinson? And who is Benjamin? Maximilianus? :lol:

Oh gosh, you mean the wedding story...those bad boys? I didn't forget, but only had so much room in my PM box; I have just cleared it out finally. I did send you two PM's already today in answer to yours. I will have to keep you waiting, Benjamin, for that funny story.

I am trying now to relax and watch a movie. I should have started earlier, right? No, it is not The Graduate....hahah....even though in 1967 that truly was my favorite movie!...that and Summer of '42, hummm...those were good movies...:brow:

Good watching :thumbs_up ... I, on the other hand, am gonna get some Hollywood bloodbath for myself :lol:

I have a new crush all the time.
Oh, really???
How unstable of you!!! ....... :lol:

it is fun reading this thread... esp. between Janine and Max! :D

At your service :wave:
Try coming this way often and I'll see what I can do to provide more fun :D ... given proper inspiration :p

[Janine]

Uncle Ben says he got the PMs and he'll wait for the story... just don't forget, okay? :D

Hiya Uncle Ben,... how cute! I love it....Ok, I'm not feeling well tonight and I am bit too tired to tell you about that now. All in good time....:lol: If you are real good, I might show you a photo of me dancing; I only show my best friends those. I did like my elegant mother-of-the groom gown.


Good watching :thumbs_up ... I, on the other hand, am gonna get some Hollywood bloodbath for myself :lol:Figures - that's a guy for you! I am watching Sense and Sensibity tonight; I am the one with no sense!:lol: However, believe it or not, last night, I watched the war movie, Saving Private Ryan, so I got a super dose of blood-bath action. Actually, it was a very good film; better than I thought. I kept meaning to see it.


At your service :wave:

Go rest and you'll feel better in the morning. I should do the same :nod: :)

[Annamariah]

I have an earlier than usual date - with my pillow!

I guess a date with a pillow and a blanket might be a good idea, but unfortunately my only dates are with teachers who make their best to avoid me - wait, then it's not a date after all! Poor me, no dates, I got ditched! :bawling:

Ah, Annamariah, you have plenty of time. I was a late bloomer, myself, and sometimes now I think I am a nun! :lol: Thank God some on here kid around with me still.

Last night I looked forward to two things only: a good movie and a good sleep, but it got humid and I think that bothered me; so I didn't sleep well.

Quote by Max

I hope you feel better REAL SOON ... as for me, I'll be real good

Oh yeah, I am sure you won't be! :lol:....ah...that's for the 'feel better' message. That helps' but unfortunately, I feel worst today. I may not be on here too much. Yeah, I always say that and then I am still here!:nod:


You seem to have enough sense
Well, I'm always trying to figure out which sister I am most like. I guess I came up with something in-between sense and sensibility. But when it comes to staying up too late, I definitely have no sense!


Saving Private Ryan: a true epic of the war genre That really was a good film. I should write something up about it in the movie thread. I had forgotten Spielberg directed it; also, great a cast of actors. I thought the cinamotograpy was just great, too; had that documentary look to it. I also watched all the extra features; I always do! Love to see how films are made. So what did you watch last night? The Thin Red Line is another good war film. Also, the two latest war films by Clint Eastwood are excellent.


Go rest and you'll feel better in the morning. I should do the same. Thanks, I might go and sleep now. Didn't get good sleep last night.

Aw, poor Anna... she's being ignored by her teachers... how mean they can be, can't they? I'll tell you what, see the teachers over there? Go through their backs and do this http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-taunt013.gif, and after that do this http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-taunt014.gif, but remember not to let them see you, because if they do, this is what will happen: http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-taunt015.gif

Now you may well believe I'm totally insane... well lemme tell ya.... I AM http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-laughing021.gif

Lit Net is free therapy, not like those therapists that call 40 min an hour :p. I can give you professional advice for the cost of nothing, so where will you be better, uh? :D

Do write something! :thumbs_up

I thought the cinamotograpy was just great, too; had that documentary look to it. I also watched all the extra features; I always do! Love to see how films are made.
I have the same habit, that's why I prefer full featured DVDs, like the special 2-Disc edition I have of "The Last Samurai" :D

So what did you watch last night?
The epilogue for "Prison Break", that one titled "The Final Break". I don't like TV Shows coming to an end, much less when one fave character dies a tragic death, though he dies for love. Self-sacrifice is something I agree with, though I'd prefer a "happily ever after" ending every now and then. SO I feel so sad that the day doesn't seem to be getting any clearer http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-sad029.gif


The Thin Red Line is another good war film. Also, the two latest war films by Clint Eastwood are excellent.
YES, "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-dance005.gif

Thanks, I might go and sleep now. Didn't get good sleep last night.

Aww, that crocodile-smile was great! :lol:

There's one big flaw in your plan, though. If I could find the teachers to actually be able to make faces behind their backs, I wouldn't have this problem to begin with :D I hate those evasive teachers, do they have some kind of "a student is looking for me, have to go to another direction" radar to make sure no one ever finds them when they have got some important things to discuss?

[toni]

Like I've had a mug of caffiene despite the time being 2 am. I'm also waiting for this film to come on television in 10 minutes. :banana:



[I Shot Andy Warhol]
I Shot Andy Warhol

In 1968, mad, radical-feminist genius Valerie Solanas shot pop-art icon Andy Warhol, seriously wounding him. This film traces her bizarre life leading to that moment, including the writing of her "SCUM Manifesto," which decrees males biologically obsolete.
Original title: I Shot Andy Warhol
Year: 1996
Director: Mary Harron
Cast: Lili Taylor, Jared Harris, Lothaire Bluteau, Martha Plimpton, Stephen Dorff

[DanielBenoit]

Lol ^ what channel is that on?

[toni]

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer - MGM. Check it out here

http://www.mgmchannel.com/asia

Not sure about the timezones, though :redface:

[DanielBenoit]

Aww, I don't have that channel. (well obviously if it's from Asia)

Looks interesting though.

[toni]

That's sad. I'll have to record the movie for you, then. :p

Congratulations on the 400th post, by the way.

Speak for yourself! I am not ignoring her. Annamariah is a lovely young women with tons of drawing talent. Do you hear that, A? Keep on drawing, because I love your delicate work. Oh, I see now, you mean her teachers are ignoring her. I was wondering where you found these hysterical emoticons (?). I like the.... "Aww, that crocodile-smile was great!" too, Anna. These are all very expressive.:nod:

Oh, I've known that for sometime. I get all those great endorphins/seritonin floating around in my brain, from all this laughter. After about 5 mins of reading your posts, Max, I am feeling quite well. In reality, I have been to councelors and they only depress me more, at times. Now they should take a cue and employ some laugh therapy. I was at Lynne's house the other night and we laughed our heads off so much, I felt great; healthy as can be. There really is something to it! so.....:lol: :lol: :lol:!!!


Having sense is no fun at all :lol: Yes, that is rather true!


Do write something! :thumbs_up Wait, where am I suppose to 'write something?'


I have the same habit, that's why I prefer full featured DVDs, like the special 2-Disc edition I have of "The Last Samurai" :D

Good movie; I really liked it a lot. You have good taste in films. I am too curious not to watch all the extra features...I want to be fully informed.

Oh, it's a TV show? I hardly ever watch TV. I need cable hooked up to my own TV upstairs. My son keeps promising he will do it. I will probably be on my death bed when he gets to it. So, you're one of those happily ever after guys...hummm.....You would have hated the film I watched last night...Woody Allen's new one - Vicky Cristina Barcelona.....hey, do you look anything like Javier Bordem? :lol:...he's hot!


YES, "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-dance005.gif

Truely great movies! Clint does it again.:thumbs_up


I bet you won't go to bed yet... YOU LIT NET ADDICT :lol: *Ding* Correct Answer! But more like YOU MOVIE ADDICT last night. After the Allen film, at 12AM, I started watching Casablanca....is that a wonderful 'classic' film or what? Gets better everytime I see it. Extra Features, I left till tonight.

Here's lookin' at you kid!.....:brow:

My dear Anna, you are a Valkyrie remember? Whenever they try to dodge you just rip them in two halves like this http://www.freesmileys.org/emoticons/emoticon-misc-017.gif, or you can try something more contemporary like this: http://www.freesmileys.org/emoticons/emoticon-misc-015.gif See?

You can find many smileys and emoticons at Free Smileys (http://www.freesmileys.org/). You'll love that site :nod:

Never ever pay the shrink anymore. From now on I will handle your condition... in a very unprofessional way, with fully unguaranteed results... :lol: :lol:



Wait, where am I suppose to 'write something?'
The movie thread, about "Saving Private Ryan". You said that when you had some time, you would post something about that movie on the movie thread :D



Good movie; I really liked it a lot. You have good taste in films. I am too curious not to watch all the extra features...I want to be fully informed.
Very similar we are! :nod:



Oh, it's a TV show? I hardly ever watch TV. I need cable hooked up to my own TV upstairs. My son keeps promising he will do it. I will probably be on my death bed when he gets to it.
Yes, it's one of Fox's latest series. I don't watch that much TV either, but when I find a commendable series I just need to have it. TV series have the benefit of having more time to develop the details of a story. I'm one of those addicts to the seventh art and the like :D



So, you're one of those happily ever after guys...hummm.....You would have hated the film I watched last night...Woody Allen's new one - Vicky Cristina Barcelona.....hey, do you look anything like Javier Bordem? :lol:...he's hot!
Nah! I'm not that hot... though I can burn... given the proper temp! :brow: I look more like an ancient warrior marked by the scars of many battles .... :lol: :lol:
Actually I don't pretend every finale to be a happy one, but lately most shows that I learned to love have ended in a sad way and it's getting rather like too much for my poor heart.... it's this feeling of having something stuck in the throat... :(



*Ding* Correct Answer! But more like YOU MOVIE ADDICT last night. After the Allen film, at 12AM, I started watching Casablanca....is that a wonderful 'classic' film or what? Gets better everytime I see it. Extra Features, I left till tonight.

Here's lookin' at you kid!.....:brow:
So you had a movie night with a classic. Last night I had a date with a classic too. I watched the first episode of "Airwolf" (a classical TV series of the 80s) which reminded me of a good time of my childhood. Back then, when I was a kid, it was broadcasted here on Saturday nights and I had never seen these episodes since then. Now I'm getting the whole seasons on DVD, which is the best option always, especially with classics hardly ever broadcasted nowadays :D

The only problem is that a dead teacher is not a very good teacher, and I need some good teachers to pass my courses and graduate. Paralyzing them just might work, though, they would still be able to teach, but their days of running away would be over :D (No, I'm not really a crazy and violent person at all! Really! :lol:)


I wasn't aware that Anna is an artist of the pencil. Where can I see something? DO TELL ME, PLEASE, FOR I DEMAND TO TAKE A PEEP :lol:
You can find some pictures in the "Let out the artist in you" topic, if you have the energy to go through it :D Or maybe I can send you some pics via PM :) Just don't expect anything too fancy! Just some plain pencil sketches.

[Janine]

Thank you, Janine,though my drawing skills are hardly anything compared to yours! Your drawings are amazing :)

Annamariah, you are too humble and modest. I love your sensitive drawings so much. Don't ever think that they are 'just drawings or sketches'. Michelangelo and Leonardo Davinci both did extraordinary drawings. I happen to see some at the National Museum in Washington years ago. I was so entranced with the technique of delicate pencil line; so very impressive. I think you have have great skill seriously. I have had a art college education and much more time to practice my craft. You have lots of time to develop yours. Don't abandon it as I have in recent years. I hope you can pursue art in some form because you are young and it's wonderful to have talent.


You can find some pictures in the "Let out the artist in you" topic, if you have the energy to go through it :D Or maybe I can send you some pics via PM :) Just don't expect anything too fancy! Just some plain pencil sketches.

I thought that was where I saw them. Do you know which pages they are on? or where-abouts?


Max, I will get to your crazy post later.:lol:

[Maximilianus]

Thank you, Janine,though my drawing skills are hardly anything compared to yours! Your drawings are amazing :)
I will judge you both when I find your works. It may take me some time but I'm gaining curiosity ;)


The only problem is that a dead teacher is not a very good teacher, and I need some good teachers to pass my courses and graduate. Paralyzing them just might work, though, they would still be able to teach, but their days of running away would be over :D
This is why I suggested to shoot sedative darts at them on the "School Bells" thread. Now I have it all figured at a body count of zero. No casualties at all, just prisoners :D


(No, I'm not really a crazy and violent person at all! Really! :lol:)
Oh, well.... I AM :nod: :lol:
So you are not, uh? I bet you're one of those modern-day Valkyries, singing and dancing all the time just like Tarja and Anette, uh? :lol:

Okay, then I'll just go fetch my vitamins and I'll head straight for that thread... so energy is not a problem for me... I HAVE MY VITAMINS SOMEWHERE NEAR :D

I was so entranced with the technique of delicate pencil line; so very impressive. I think you have have great skill seriously. I have had a art college education and much more time to practice my craft. You have lots of time to develop yours. Don't abandon it as I have in recent years. I hope you can pursue art in some form because you are young and it's wonderful to have talent.
Oh yes, this is very much more than true. I remember what Leonardo used to reply when he was asked what he was doing, when he was doing nothing (visibly ;)) but staring at some form of material. He used to say "I am working"... and after some time people stared in wonder at the marvels he created. Who knows? We may have a gifted creator in our Anna :nod:

Anna, if you found you have a talent, then don't let it go. If you do, you will regret one day. It has happened to people I know, and they regret.



Max, I will get to your crazy post later.:lol:
Okay... though I may have become an inmate at the nearest madhouse by then .... :lol: :lol:

Okay... though I may have become an inmate at the nearest madhouse by then ....
I think you will manage to hold on.....:goof::eek2:


You can find many smileys and emoticons at Free Smileys (http://www.freesmileys.org/). You'll love that site :nod: That must be the same site my friend directed me to yesterday...does it have something to do with Crawler? Once I downloaded one of their cool screensavers; but then it stopped working right and I could not longer get it to install as a screensaver. Probably since I use Explorer and not Firefox.


I think I want to be remembered once I'm gone. It's strange; it's a feeling I seldom had in the past.

How could anyone forget you, Max!? I sure hope you're not going anywhere very soon. That feeling does come with age. I hope they don't forget me. I am hoping I am unique and eccentric enough they would be able to forget me. :D


Never ever pay the shrink anymore. From now on I will handle your condition... in a very unprofessional way, with fully unguaranteed results... :lol: :lol:

Might you have a psychiatric couch? :brow:hummmm; interesting prospect....:lol:


The movie thread, about "Saving Private Ryan". You said that when you had some time, you would post something about that movie on the movie thread :D
Oh yeah, I got side-tracked again and volunteered to be casting director in DanielBenoit's new Shakespeare Youtube production. Hey, Max, you are a ham, how bout joining in? If you don't have a video camera you can just recite you voice playing a role. I am casting director so I can find you a good part. We will make our own beautiful music (movie) together. :nod:
But seriously, I need to write up about 10 movies I have seen lately which were truly great. Right now I am watching this cool documentary on James Dean, directed by Robert Altman. Funny, I picked this cheap DVD up a long time ago, for a dollar, and it's really good. The-made-for-TV film, preceeding the documentary, was fairly good, but dated; but this b/w documentary is truly intriguing. What prompted all this was my recent viewing of East of Eden. It was incredible; ever see the film? I will get to writing them up next week. I am still not caught up on some very important email replies, which have to come first.


Very similar we are! :nod: Seems that way. Not only crazy night owls but also we all appreciate art. You can view my artwork right in my album on my profile page. Just click on 'view all albums'....a lot of people don't realise I have about 6 albums of photos in there. I too have worked primarily in pencil and some pen and ink. Anna and my work are similar in that we both like delicate soft pastel pencil and linear elegant line.


Yes, it's one of Fox's latest series. I don't watch that much TV either, but when I find a commendable series I just need to have it. TV series have the benefit of having more time to develop the details of a story. I'm one of those addicts to the seventh art and the like :D

Oh, I love long productions. I meant to ask you if you ever saw the miniseries Shackleton - about the Antarctic explorer. I love that series and researched extensively the real man and have read several books on him. He meet his ship in Buenos Aires; is that anywhere near where you live, Max? I am greatly interesting in that part of the world, especially since it's so close to Antarctica. I just bought the great nature film March of the Penquins, too. When I looked at my globe the other night I just realised how far south Argentina really was...wow, that is so cool!


Nah! I'm not that hot... though I can burn... given the proper temp! :brow: ummmm...sounds interesting.....is that a come-one line?:goof: :lol:


I look more like an ancient warrior marked by the scars of many battles .... :lol: :lol:

You sound rugged.....are you the gladiator type? or a bull-fighter. How so with those scars? Are the interior or exterior scars?


Actually I don't pretend every finale to be a happy one, but lately most shows that I learned to love have ended in a sad way and it's getting rather like too much for my poor heart.... it's this feeling of having something stuck in the throat... :(

There really are a lot of open-ended shows of recent and they tend to leave a person with an uneasy feeling...they can be unsettling when watched right before bedtime, even sort of disturbing. I find I wake up thinking about the meaning of the ending. Those type endings are great and real and all but sometimes happy ending are more satisfying.


So you had a movie night with a classic. Last night I had a date with a classic too. I watched the first episode of "Airwolf" (a classical TV series of the 80s) which reminded me of a good time of my childhood. Back then, when I was a kid, it was broadcasted here on Saturday nights and I had never seen these episodes since then. Now I'm getting the whole seasons on DVD, which is the best option always, especially with classics hardly ever broadcasted nowadays :D

Airwolf - I never heard of it and I used to watch films and TV shows with my son from that era. It's so cool how we can get the old series on DVD's now. I buy the ones I really loved as a kid or the older films I liked in the 70, 80's, 90's. I watched House on the DVD set from my library since I don't have cable upstairs. I was curious to see what everyone was raving about. I did find it entertaining since I like Hugh Laurie. I also watched his family series in Britian of 40 Something. It too was great fun. I buy a lot of BBC dramas.

My dear Janine, I'll reply to your post tomorrow because tonight I'm just falling asleep on keyboard :D

Before I get off, I found three of Anna's drawings on the "Let out the artist in you" thread, being posts 81, 92 and 251. Later on I'll keep checking the rest of the thread. Anna, THOSE ARE PIECES OF ART and not just sketches, and I MEAN IT. I wish I could be capable of such demonstration of talent :nod:

Get some sleep kiddo! :angel: Keyboards do not make good pillows!:eek2:

Yes, indeed those pieces of art by Annamariah are wonderfully rendered. I think her style is reminescent of Ingres work...hope I spelled that correctly. I love his work and have a book of his portrait drawings...simply stunning and lovely imagery.

I really don't now about Crawler, but I'll see what I can find :nod: Probably the screensaver is incompatible with your Vista. There are programs that were written for XP but somehow Vista can't run them properly, so I don't really think it has to do with your browser but more with the Operating System.

I found three "East of Eden" productions on IMDb, one dated 1955, another in 1981 and another in 2008? Which ones have you seen? I'll be waiting for your reviews, so remember to tell me when you have the time to post them :nod: :thumbs_up

Shackleton starring Kenneth Branagh? No, I haven't seen it yet. I'll have to add it to my list. I live in a city located some 622 miles to the west of Buenos Aires, quite a distance I must say. Buenos Aires is the place by the sea and my place is the one by the mountains :D

I feel I've watched March of the Penguins.... is it a BBC documentary?

Oh yes, TV producers want us to think a lot, to analyze the message they intend to give, and hopefully to find something in ourselves through the story.

I buy a lot of BBC dramas.
The plot for Airwolf is more or less like this: It's the story of an advanced combat helicopter developed by a secret agency for special missions. Its creator prefers to use it for personal benefit though, so the government hires another pilot to recover it from its wayward inventor but he has conditions, that is, to work for the government in special missions piloting the chopper while the government must pull some strings in order to find his brother, missing in action during the Vietnam war where they both served. It was a very advanced/original action series for the time, created by Donald P. Bellisario, and I think it somewhat opened the gates for the action/sci-fi shows of today. Jean Michael Vincent, Alex Cord and Ernest Borgnine were the main stars. The great Sylvester Levay was in charge of the soundtrack.

House IS A MUST. A top-notch cast for a top-quality show :nod: :D

Now that I am thinking about it, it may have been on my other computer which did have XP. It could possibly work on this one, now that I have waaaayy more RAM. It was the coolest thing; ancient building facade that would break into pieces/transform/morph. I loved it, but it would not work consistently. I may have deleted some part of the program and that kept it form operating fully.

It's a cool idea, huh? I am of the same mindset. I hate hearing my voice on video; I can't recite or read aloud to an audience; I certainly can't act. I was in my HS school play; got second understudy. Long story, but I would prefer to stay in the chorus...as I said, I can't act. I never was fated to be a superstar; too shy that way; stage-fright bigtime. "support a career on Youtube"?...haha...do they have careers on Youtube??? good one!

Thee classic one of 1955 staring the amazing shortly realised talent of James Dean, who tragically died in a car crash at age 24. This Steinbeck movie adaptation's wonderful. You MUST see it....a Caine and Able story. I loved it! :nod: That's just a preview of my coming review...stay tuned to Movie thread...


I'll take a dive in your galleries :D Sounds provocative....hummm...come up and see my etchings sometime....

Hope something in there delights you.


Shackleton starring Kenneth Branagh? Oh, yes um. He's my favorite actor. I collect all his films and his screenplay books and anything else I can locate. I also have a channel page on Youtube dedicated to him but with playlists encompassing a lot more. Shackleton is a must-see. It's an amazing story and totally true. I have researched it and the real story is even more amazing and hard to believe. Let me know when you will watch it and I will rewatch here, too. I own the 3 disk set....great stuff!


No, I haven't seen it yet. I'll have to add it to my list. I live in a city located some 622 miles to the west of Buenos Aires, quite a distance I must say. Buenos Aires is the place by the sea and my place is the one by the mountains :D His crew went ahead of him and he meet them a week or so later in Buenos Aires. Ever since then it has had this allure for me; also South Georgia Island must be amazing to see. Mountains are nice to live by though. I bet your area is beautiful.


I feel I've watched March of the Penguins.... is it a BBC documentary? Not sure if it's BBC; but it's the documentary that came out a couple of years ago; believe the film makers were French. Even the 'making of the film' is amazing (included on the disk).


:lol: :lol: ditto!


I'm much skinnier than a gladiator :p and the scars are more internal than external :( Skinny is good but down nearer to the antarctic one would think you need a little padding to stay warm. I figured those were internal wounds; probably in the heart area.


Oh yes, TV producers want us to think a lot, to analyze the message they intend to give, and hopefully to find something in ourselves through the story.
Yep, so true...


The plot for Airwolf is more or less like this: It's the story of an advanced combat helicopter .....gates for the action/sci-fi shows of today. Jean Michael Vincent, Alex Cord and Ernest Borgnine were the main stars. The great Sylvester Levay was in charge of the soundtrack.


Thanks for the synopsis. That does sound different and intriguing. I will check that out on Youtube. Wow, Ernest Borgnine was in that...I thought you were too young to watch his old shows. Is he still alive? I collect sound tracks. I wonder if you can get Levay's work on CD's. I will check that out, too.


House IS A MUST. A top-notch cast for a top-quality show :nod: :DLaurie makes the show. He's an amazing actor. I loved him in everything I have seen him in. He was in the Kenneth Branagh group of friends; actually Emma Thompson's friends. He's in Ken's film Peter's Friends. Hugh L is very talented. Of course, what really cracks me up about Dr House is that he nearly kills off the patient, right before he saves them...happens everytime. He sure uses the defibulators enough, doesn't he?


Thank you for waiting :nod:

Is he still alive? I collect sound tracks. I wonder if you can get Levay's work on CD's. I will check that out, too.
I have seen a few of Ernest's works though I must confess I'm more learned in modern-day movie and TV industry. He's 92 by now, and still active. I found he has some projects in production for next year. I found Airwolf's soundtrack while surfing the web. Here it's very hard to find soundtracks, especially classical ones, unless you buy them on-line.


Laurie makes the show. He's an amazing actor. I loved him in everything I have seen him in. He was in the Kenneth Branagh group of friends; actually Emma Thompson's friends. He's in Ken's film Peter's Friends. Hugh L is very talented. Of course, what really cracks me up about Dr House is that he nearly kills off the patient, right before he saves them...happens everytime. He sure uses the defibulators enough, doesn't he?
It's incredible how he portrays a character who gives a first impression of a somewhat cold, insensitive doctor only concerned in diagnosing, but when we watch carefully we can see how the man has a heart of his own, how he seeks for a way to heal a patient and how he suffers when he's about to lose the fight, though he pretends he's just doing his job in an objective way. Only great actors can portray characters with such conflicting personalities :)


You get an A plus for art history - very good! Did you look that one up online? maybe Wikipedia. I am onto you now.:nod: Yes, portraits were his thing. His drawing are luminous.
I use an amazing Firefox add-on called WikiLook, a Wikipedia and Wiktionary lookup. You highlight any word or phrase, for example Ingres, and a sub-window appears with any information it could find, when available on Wikipedia or Wiktionary :D

By the way, I created an album for my drawings and stuff in my profile. There's one new drawing I posted on the "Let out the ARTIST in you" thread too :)

I think I have a crush on this Litnet Crush topic :D Have to check it several times a day :lol:

[Maximilianus]

Ahhhh...Jack is really cute!

I am too tired now to post much or be very entertaining. I think I need to answer your post more fully above; one before this one. For now though a question. Max, do you look anything like this :lol: -

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p70/sealace/FamousPlacesInNovels/JohnnyDeppPirates3.jpg
I can look like him if you ask me eagerly enough...... after a mild surgery.... :lol: :lol:


Ok, you two, let's grab a bottle of rum Maties and be off in Jack Sparrows Black Pearl for the exotic islands in the South Seas! Be sure and bring the hammocks. :lol:

Is that ship the same "Bounty" used for the movie starring Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson?


Mmmm, Jack Sparrow! :D
Oh you're quite thinking about pirates, aren't you? How "viking" of you!! :lol: :lol:

Both of you should hear my confession: I am very pirate myself. I have been pirating lately ... and this pirated thread is a good proof of my word :lol:

[Annamariah]

It does make one feel rather powerful to have a whole topic of their own :D

I might be an internet pirate, but I don't know about the viking. While the vikings sailed the seas to look for someone to fight with, Finns didn't travel so far just for that: they were quite satisfied with stabbing each other with their knives :lol:

Stabbing each other is much more practical than picking fights with other countries.

I'm watching the MTV Video Music Awards right now. Taylor Swift won the award for best female video. When she was making her speech, Kanye West walked up on to the stage, took her microphone, and said that Beyonce should have won. Poor Taylor.

[Haunted]

^ yikes. And the Tactlessness Award goes to...

[AmericanEagle]

^ This isn't the first time that Kanye has done something like this. Some people never learn.

[Haunted]

^ there's just no excuse for certain things.

[AmericanEagle]

^ I agree. I don't even know why he gets invited to shows like this.

[Haunted]

^ The media thrives on controversies to get higher ratings and this will get everyone talking. But I just find this kind of thing distasteful.

[AmericanEagle]

^ Taylor left the building in tears. She's only 19 years old, and this was her first VMA award. Kanye should be ashamed of himself.

[Janine]

I can look like him if you ask me eagerly enough...... after a mild surgery.... :lol: :lol:

...so much for our own private fun; apparently, we have been highjacked or pirated onto another ship - called 'Live Chat'!

So, a little surgery will do the trick, Max?....hummm...which part of the face needs help? Also, to match Johnny Depp's look you may need a lot of heavy eyemake-up. :lol:


Is that ship the same "Bounty" used for the movie starring Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson?

Oh I don't know; I do doubt it. My friend sent me the pirate ship pictures awhile ago. I have two more of that particular ship. She said it's the actual one used in the "Pirates of the Carribean" films. I don't think though, it hoisted that American flag on it's mask, during the shooting, do you?...more like a skull and crossbones. It's moored in some harbor in Florida, probably near or in Disney World. Cool, isn't it? It has probably be used in a lot of films; yes, that is a possibility.

Oh you're quite thinking about pirates, aren't you? How "viking" of you!! :lol: :lol:Annamariah is very resourceful and creative. She's a good viking!


Both of you should hear my confession: I am very pirate myself. I have been pirating lately ... and this pirated thread is a good proof of my word :lol: Could you expound on that and clear up the mystery. Specifically, are we talking about ships or computers? :lol:

[Haunted]

^ that's awful, he should be!

[AmericanEagle]

Beyonce is such a class act. "Single Ladies" won the award for best video. When Beyonce went up to the stage, she asked Taylor to come up to finish her speech that was rudely interrupted by Kanye earlier in the evening.

Haha, Kanye got booed by the audience.

[Haunted]

Haha, Kanye got booed by the audience.

that's music to my ears ;)

[AmericanEagle]

^ Well, Kanye wasn't there to witness the booing. He was escorted out of the building after the incident.

He was booed three times.

When P. Diddy mentioned Kanye's name, the audience started booing. Diddy asked: "What did I say?"

When his "Love Lockdown" video was announced as a nominee for best male video, the audience started booing.

The same thing happened when his video was announced as a nominee for best video.

[Haunted]

^ audience justice? He deserves it.

[AmericanEagle]

^ I know. What kind of grown man would do that to a young girl?

[Haunted]

^ well, can't accuse him of being a gentleman. He might need to look that word up in the dictionary of polite society.

[Maximilianus]

...so much for our own private fun; apparently, we have been highjacked or pirated onto another ship - called 'Live Chat'!
Hmm... It's apparently so. We've been so talkative that they made us go talk somewhere else. What a pity, I wanted to take over that thread just for me :bawling:

Oh sure, when anything is used in a film it's modified a bit. It's a very beautiful ship indeed :nod:

She truly has a lot of talent. I've been viewing her new art gallery, and I've been viewing yours too, Janine, but you already know that. And I'm glad you two are friends now :nod:

is it me, or is everything very very quiet :S

I think you're right, it seems more quiet than usual. Maybe because school started?

[AmericanEagle]

^ Yep, school has started. I just came home from classes.

[Haunted]

^ welcome back :)

[AmericanEagle]

^ Thanks :)

I spent my break taking pictures of a campus building for JBI. Check out the "School Bells" thread.

We'll sail at free will,
They'll fear our bark.

Oooo!!! :cold: Even I am scared now :cold: ........ :lol: :lol:

[AmericanEagle]

Haunted, maybe you need to get something to eat :)

I walk by those hot dog stands every time I go to classes, but I've never bought anything from them.

[Haunted]

^ I know, just had some Italian bread to tie me over until supper... I eat late so I can stay up late. Not a good habit but what can I do, I'm nocturnal...

I love hot dogs but not the buns. I cook them on my George Foreman grill and serve them over a bunch of fruits, bunless.

[AmericanEagle]

Not a good habit but what can I do, I'm nocturnal...

Now that classes have started, I try not to stay up too late. So there will probably be no more late night forum games for me.

[Haunted]

^ ever since I started working from home I go to bed later and later. If you and no one else is around for forum games, maybe I'll go to bed earlier, or I may just go into a corner and sulk.

[AmericanEagle]

maybe I'll go to bed earlier, or I may just go into a corner and sulk.

I think you should go with the former :)

[Haunted]

^ I should drink less coffee then...;)

[AmericanEagle]

^ Yes, you need to lay off the coffee :)

[Haunted]

^ I have a caffeine addiction, I'm afraid *sigh*

[papayahed]

^ I have a caffeine addiction, I'm afraid *sigh*

I'm trying to stop woth the soda and coffee; I've had a headache for two days.:(

oh dear, I know that symptom well, you have caffeine withdrawal. We need to go into rehab :D

hahaha, yeah we need to get to Promises.:eek:

actually this morning I woke up headache free!! whoo hooo!!!

[Nightshade]

Wow, paya, you just came back off one sensory deprivation experiment now you are giving up caffine too :eek2:
I hope that doesnt include chocolate!
But good for you, if you darnk enough ti give you a headache when you came off it then you probably drank too much. ( and this from the girl that used to drink a litre and a half of tea before doing anything in the mornings!)

[AmericanEagle]

Haunted, are you watching AGT?

[Haunted]

yes! Do you have it on? Oh, I meant to switch over to SYTYCD during the commercials but I was here doing word association LOL.

[AmericanEagle]

^ I thought that Nuttin' But Stringz was robbed last season, so I've stopped watching AGT.

[*Classic*Charm*]

You're not watching the Canadian SYTYCD are you, haunted?

p.s. What's AGT?

[Haunted]

^ that could be traumatic!

I think they're showing contestants from past seasons now, maybe Nuttin' But Stringz is there.

[Haunted]

You're not watching the Canadian SYTYCD are you, haunted?

p.s. What's AGT?

I'm flicking back and forth. AGT is America's Got Talent. Are you watching SYTYCD? What's all that crying? LOL

[*Classic*Charm*]

Oh god that show is brutal! I've seen it a couple times and could not handle it haha. No, I'm not watching SYTYCD. I don't really watch tv while I'm in school, but besides that, the host of the Canadian one makes me want to jump off a tall building. When does the new American season start?

[AmericanEagle]

^ that could be traumatic!

I really thought that they should have won their season. They compose their own music, and I've never seen anyone play the violin like that. I loved their Top 40 performance. I remember that all three judges gave them a standing ovation.

I'm tired of singers winning AGT.

Ah awesome! That I will be watching. I can't handle the Canadian one!

So (after scanning that page haha) are they actually doing an episode with the best of the first five seasons?!

[Haunted]

I really thought that they should have won their season. They compose their own music, and I've never seen anyone play the violin like that. I loved their Top 40 performance. I remember that all three judges gave them a standing ovation.


It's nice when the judges give a standing ovation. After they weed out the weak stuff, those that make it to the Top 40 are usually mighty good.



I'm tired of singers winning AGT.

Me too, no more singers..until I started rooting for Kevin Skinner (I think that's his name) :p

[AmericanEagle]

the host of the Canadian one makes me want to jump off a tall building.

I agree. Leah Miller is awful.


It's nice when the judges give a standing ovation. After they weed out the weak stuff, those that make it to the Top 40 are usually mighty good.

When I watched Nuttin' But Stringz's Top 40 performance, I was like "Wow!" I remember that Piers was the first judge who stood up and clapped, and Piers rarely gives standing ovations.

yeah, Piers is a tough customer. I'm so used to seeing him X'ing people off, so when he's in standing ovations I can't help but think, what's wrong with him LOL

[Haunted]

OMG my guy won!!!!

[AmericanEagle]

^ Kevin won?

[Haunted]

^ yes! I couldn't believe it. It was just down to him and an opera singer. She has a beautiful voice and looks very polished from head to toe and can win easily, but Kevin's singing touches something deeper, and the audience was chanting his name. And get this, he's country, and I HATE country but I just love him!

[AmericanEagle]

^ A singer wins AGT again?!

[Haunted]

^ yes but this one is really really really good! :)

[AmericanEagle]

^ I'll take your word for it :)

But what will it take for a non-singer to win?

[Haunted]

^ I know what you're saying, singers are a dime a dozen these days, but Kevin is the only singer I hope would win. Think of it this way, even though a singer wins again, it could be worse. Do you really want ventriloquists and contortionists and mimes? Not that there's anything wrong with them, but still....

[AmericanEagle]

^ They should just change the title to "America's Got Singers." ;)

[Haunted]

^ They should just change the title to "America's Got Singers." ;)

In that case, is there any hope for me? If he won't have me on his show, I am sure Jerry Springer will take my story!

[AmericanEagle]

Haunted, are you going to watch Survivor tonight?

[Haunted]

I don't watch Survivor at all. You're telling me you watch reality tv? :D

[AmericanEagle]

^ Like you don't watch any reality TV ;)

I've watched Survivor since 2000, when I was still in elementary school. So, I continue to watch it out of loyalty :)

Do you watch The Amazing Race?

[Haunted]

^ Amazing Race - maybe a few seconds of it over the years ;) I watched it for the scenery to broaden my geographical knowledge :D

[AmericanEagle]

^ I'm a fan of TAR, as you can probably tell ;)

I remember when they came to Toronto in TAR8, and I was like: "I know where those places are!"

I actually prefer TAR to Survivor because there is less lying and backstabbing.

[Haunted]

^ isn't lying and backstabbing what reality tv is all about?

eh, you don't watch the Bachelor and/or the Bachelette, do you? :goof:

[AmericanEagle]

^ isn't lying and backstabbing what reality tv is all about?

I guess that lying and backstabbing on Survivor is necessary in order to create alliances, and to try not to get voted off.

TAR is more merit-based because the teams' success depends on their own efforts and skills. So, there is little need for lying and backstabbing. But, some teams still resort to these unnecessary shenanigans.


eh, you don't watch the Bachelor and/or the Bachelette, do you? :goof:

No :)

[Haunted]

^ thank goodness.

so TAR is your fave?

[AmericanEagle]

^ Yes!

It's nice to see all the places that they visit, and all the different languages and customs. Most of the tasks and challenges are entertaining/hilarious for the viewers.

For some reason though, some of the racers seem to think that Spanish is the universal language of the world. I remember that the racers were speaking Spanish to people in Cambodia.

I would say, however, that TAR does have its nasty moments. Some racers are rude to the locals, and are constantly running up and down the street yelling: "Does anyone speak English?! Why doesn't anyone speak English?!" and "Why won't anyone help us?!" and "I hate this country!" I think that it's shows like this that give Americans a bad reputation overseas.

[Haunted]

^ I agree, that's really rude. One of the reasons I don't watch. Like I want to see people behaving badly *frown*

[AmericanEagle]

^ Well, it's only a small fraction of the racers who are rude. Most of them try to be courteous. Some of them even learn a few words and phrases in different languages.

In TAR1, a racer said: "You have to approach people in an affable, friendly way! You don't do it like you're in New York!"

It's a shame that some racers in subsequent races don't heed that advice. I'm sure that more people would be willing to help you if you were nice to them, rather than accosting them.

[Haunted]

^ Funny thing though, people in NY don't really talk like that, it's a stereotype. Once in a while you run into those types, but often people are quite helpful. One time I was on the subway platform, a girl fell right onto the tracks, I think she passed out. A guy immediately jumped down right onto the tracks to get her, no knowing even if any trains would pull into the station. He really risked his life to save her. That's a real life Superman Hero :)

[AmericanEagle]

^ That particular racer is a New Yorker, so I don't know if he was being truthful or sarcastic.

I'm sure that New Yorkers are nice people :) I was focusing on the "You have to approach people in an affable, friendly way!" part.

[Haunted]

^ well this one is :)

you do wonder how much of that stuff is an act just for the tv....

[AmericanEagle]

^ Well, all reality TV is somewhat scripted. But I think that the comments that the racers make are candid. Unfortunately, a few of those candid comments can be quite offensive, but most of them are comical.

Here are two of the more comical ones: "Donkeys have souls, too."

Guy: "Who's my girl?"
Girl: "You are. No, I am."

[Haunted]

^ :lol: that's hysterical.

reminds me of the people in Jaywalking on Jay Leno

[AmericanEagle]

^ Maybe you'll watch TAR when it starts on September 27 for more comical moments :)

[Haunted]

^ haha maybe....... ;)

[AmericanEagle]

So (after scanning that page haha) are they actually doing an episode with the best of the first five seasons?!

NO WAY!! I missed the return of Alison and Ivan!?!?! Efffff

Some of my favs are in that list. I wonder if it's online somewhere...thanks AmEagle!

[AmericanEagle]

^ Don't worry, you didn't miss anything :). The dancers didn't return. The routines were simply re-aired.

[*Classic*Charm*]

^ Don't worry, you didn't miss anything :). The dancers didn't return. The routines were simply re-aired.

Whaa? That's lame!!

[AmericanEagle]

^ I know. It was basically Nigel introducing the dances, and then they were just re-aired.

I was happy to see two of Mark's dances featured, although I'm not really a fan of "Bleeding Love." However, I absolutely love "The Garden."

[*Classic*Charm*]

I love The Garden too! Also, I love Hip Hip Chin Chin!

[AmericanEagle]

^ You should participate in the "TV dance shows" thread. It's only been me and Haunted posting back and forth, LOL.

[Haunted]

NO WAY!! I missed the return of Alison and Ivan!?!?! Efffff

yes Classic Charm, join AmericanEagle and I in the TV Dance Show thread! I loved Alison and Ivan too, Why is one of my faves.

Why isn't anyone ever around on friday afternoons?? It should be prime time for nine to fivers.

Hey, I'm here! :nod: ....However, I am leaving soon to go out to eat...probably crazy since Fri traffic is the worse around here. I will be back later on in case anyone cares....haha

I'm getting ready to leave too, but you weren't on when I wrote that.

Will watch this later! Hopefully I wake up :lol:

[DanielBenoit]

Ooo an opera! Have never seen it.

[toni]

Me neither! Today's Othello schedule is on 6am. :(

[DanielBenoit]

Are you a fan of opera?

[toni]

Yeah :D My favorite is La Traviata.
How about you?

[DanielBenoit]

Ahh, you certainly seem to like Verdi :), though I've only been familiar with some of his violin work.

I love love love Mozarts operas especially The Marriage of Figaro (I always watch that with a smile on my face) and Don Giovani (always get goosebumps).

[toni]

Aww, I promise to check out The Marriage of Figaro! The title is quite intriguing. ;)

[DanielBenoit]

It is sooo wonderful, it plays out just like a Shakespearean comedy.

[toni]

Ahh.. magnifique. :thumbs_up
What violin works of Verdi are you familiar with?

[DanielBenoit]

Not much, Sring Quartet in E minor is the only one that comes to mind.

[Scheherazade]

Why isn't anyone ever around on friday afternoons?? It should be prime time for nine to fivers.Probably they don't want to waste their Friday afternoon away on LitNet, being intellectual and all...

:D

[Nightshade]

If there is no food in the house at 2255 and one is hungry is this a valid excuse to make brownies?
gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Scheherazade]

If Nightshade makes brownies for herself and no one else there to witness it, is Nightshade still considered to have had brownies?

[Annamariah]

Ugh, Tuesday mornings... If I could decide, I'd not even be awake at this hour :yawnb: Had to wake up half past five in the morning to make it to SUP treatment on time, and now I'm sitting at the university learning centre waiting for Swedish grammar class to begin... This day is going to be so boring! (We shall see whether I'll manage to stay awake through it or not... At least in the evening I must do some homework that I can't avoid any longer, as the deadlines are approaching fast.)

[DanielBenoit]

If Nightshade makes brownies for herself and no one else there to witness it, is Nightshade still considered to have had brownies?

Impossible to concieve. Nightshade could be thinking about dogs, but we would have no idea, or even if the dogs she is thinking of are even the dogs that we are thinking of :alien:

Wait. . . I know the answer! I can myself prove that Nightshade did in fact make brownies. . . .the only thing that is needed is me and a hungry stomach :lol:

[Maximilianus]

Had to wake up half past five in the morning to make it to SUP treatment on time

Sorry I'm curious... SUP: Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis??

[Nightshade]

I didn't make them if you are interested, that would have involved cleaning the kitchne twice in the middle of the night...

[pussnboots]

aren't you going to share the brownies with us ?

[Nightshade]

Share my brownies?
Sorry I am not that nice...

[Annamariah]

Sorry I'm curious... SUP: Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis??

No, Selective Ultraviolet Phototherapy, I had my first appointment today (I've been there last winter too, so it wasn't really my first time, just the first this year). It's supposed to help my skin, though I think at the moment I'm too far gone for it to be really useful (the better your skin is when you start said treatment, the better it will work to help your skin to stay better for a longer time). But at least I'll get a nice tan :p

[DanielBenoit]

My puppy was just chasing her tail on the couch, then fell off and landed on her head :eek:

She then just got up and started chasing it again. :lol:

[shapeshifter_]

hardworking pet huh? :D

[Haunted]

I hope tonight's The Amazing Race lived up to its name.

[AmericanEagle]

^ Did you watch it?

[Haunted]

^ no...but I thought about it seriously ;)

how was it?

[AmericanEagle]

^ It was a decent first episode, but not as good as last year's first episode.

They introduced a new twist at the beginning: one team would be eliminated right at the start line.

The teams that made it past the start line made their way to Tokyo, where they ate wasabi bombs, and had to lead 20 tourists through the busy streets of Japan.

In the second hour of the two-hour premiere, teams made their way to Ho Chi Minh City, where they had to collect mud and fertilize a tree. They also had to herd 150 ducks.

TAR + animals + grouchy racers + jet lag = entertainment for the viewers

[Haunted]

:lol: I get cranky just thinking about it

[AmericanEagle]

^ The inclusion of animals is always a source of entertainment for the viewers, but frustration for the racers.

Oxen, chickens, cormorants, donkeys, elephants, horses, camels, and now, ducks.

[Haunted]

^ If Kevin Skinner was there, I wouldn't miss it for the world ;)

[AmericanEagle]

^ Kevin Skinner already has a million dollars, though.

I don't like it when reality TV contestants appear on multiple shows. It seems as if they're overstaying their 15 minutes of fame. cough*Rob and Amber*cough

[Haunted]

^ who's Rob and Amber?

eh, I would say Kevin is worth at least 10 mill *fangirl scream*

[AmericanEagle]

^ Rob and Amber are a married couple who are most famous for being reality TV contestants.

Rob appeared on Survivor: Marquesas, and Survivor All-Stars.

Amber appeared on Survivor: The Australian Outback, and won Survivor: All-Stars.

They appeared together on TAR7, and TAR: All-Stars.

So, altogether, they have had 6 shots at a million dollars.

The only people that I will support having multiple shots at a million dollars are Yau-Man and Jonathan, who were both totally screwed over on Survivor.

[Haunted]

they shouldn't allow it. not fair.

[AmericanEagle]

^ Unfortunately, Rob has been cast again in the next season of Survivor. So this will be their 7th shot at a million dollars.

There are so many better candidates for TAR and Survivor, such as YAU-MAN and JONATHAN!

[Haunted]

how about new people?? What are our chances, you and me? :D

[AmericanEagle]

^ For TAR? That would be awesome! I really think that TAR is one of the best reality TV shows. Even if you don't win, you will have been able to travel the world and have the experience of a lifetime.

Canadians aren't eligible, though, so you might want to find another teammate :(

[Haunted]

oh well, we wouldn't make a good team anyway. I'd travel as far as to a hotel then stay there for the spa. That's as much as I'd sweat on my trip.

[Juan Parra2010]

Heeey everyone. So I am new to the site. I see a lot of people in the forum. Exciting! Out of curiosity and the spontaneity you all seem to have , why did you all choose to blog in this site?

[AmericanEagle]

^ Haunted and TAR do not go together ;)

On TAR, racers have slept on the streets and in tents.

[Janine]

Heeey everyone. So I am new to the site. I see a lot of people in the forum. Exciting! Out of curiosity and the spontaneity you all seem to have , why did you all choose to blog in this site?

They are not blogging right now; although some people do have blogs on this site in their profile pages. This site is basically a forum. You might want to visit the 'Introduce Yourself' thread to get started here. Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy it here, Juan.

[Haunted]

yea, I'm afraid TAR is not for me, unless it's racing from the pool to the massage room, I can handle that.

hi Juan Parra2010 :)

[AmericanEagle]

^ But it's a race for a million dollars. Surely you could muster some enthusiasm :)

[Janine]

Hi Haunted...*waving*...you're up late...

[Haunted]

12:37 is not late ;) You're up till 4 sometimes, don't tell me you reformed!

[Janine]

Hi American Eagle, didn't mean to leave you out *waving again*...


12:37 is not late ;) You're up till 4 sometimes, don't tell me you reformed!

This week I might be 'reformed' for a temporary period of time :nod:

[Haunted]

^ But it's a race for a million dollars. Surely you could muster some enthusiasm :)

I forgot there's a million dollars involved here. No problem, I'll sleep in a tent on a bed of nails :D

[AmericanEagle]

Hi American Eagle, didn't mean to leave you out *waving again*...

Hi, Janine. *waves back*


I forgot there's a million dollars involved here. No problem, I'll sleep in a tent on a bed of nails :D

That's the spirit :D

Maybe you and Janine can do The Amazing Race together. You both don't really seem to sleep much. That could be advantageous when you're constantly travelling around the world :)

[Janine]

Hi, Janine. *waves back*

Hi *waving* back again, glad to see you here, AM. I haven't been in the fun game threads lately...busy I guess...I will return eventually...I miss you two... I had to get my addiction under control...newly returned from the clinic....soon to be reinstated in mindless games again!:banana:

OMG! Me race? I couldn't make it to the starting line...

[Haunted]

^ I don't know about Janine but I'm like this :eek2: after 1am. I just don't go to sleep. Bad habit. If you see me around later in the morning, that's caffeine.

You're up late too. Maybe you really are AmericanOwl :lol:

[Janine]

^ I don't know about Janine but I'm like this :eek2: after 1am. I just don't go to sleep. Bad habit. If you see me around later in the morning, that's caffeine.

Yes, ditto...I am just like that, too! However, I'm never up in the morning. My morning starts at 12 noon.

[AmericanEagle]

^ It's a school night, so I really should be going to bed now. But, I'm not.

[Janine]

^ It's a school night, so I really should be going to bed now. But, I'm not.

You sound just like me and Haunted; but we don't go to school anymore and we both should know better, too. :lol:

[Haunted]

^ AE, bring a pot of coffee to class ;)

[AmericanEagle]

^ LOL, I should.

It takes me 75-90 minutes to commute, so I can always take a nap on the bus and subway.

[Haunted]

^ I love napping on the train, it rocks me to sleep.

[Janine]

Well, kids, I am bailing out now for real...night night all!

[Haunted]

^ goodnight Janine! :as-sleep:

[Maximilianus]

Aww, too bad it's rather late for it, but I hope it helps you somehow. Good luck all the time, Annie Valkyrie :p :nod: KEEP STRONG! :nod:

Hi Hoope, thank you kindly.

Thanks Rimbaud.

Hi cheeky King:D

[hoope]

hey Martyd :)



rimbaud ( escape reality ) !!! Curious why escape Reality !
as much as i know that life sucks sometimes .. but its reality we have to live..
i use to live in dreams & hopes.. but now i try to live reality .. at least then i won't get disappointed!!

Greetings :)

[rimbaud]

oh, life doesn't suck at all actually, :D
but no reality can replace the dream,
i rather live in my world, by my values, than in a world that someone else invented and trying to blend in
I don't have to face anything, this is my world, I'm creating
and it works :), so escape reality :D

[Maryd.]

Here, here. Let's escape.... Weeeeeeeeeeeee.

[kingoflombards]

Strangely, it sounds like you're advertising cocaine usage.:D:lol::D

[rimbaud]

who, moi? no way :)

actually I escape reality with art, but, whatever works (ok, I was joking, there are no forum rules about that)

[Haunted]

escape and don't look back ;)

[rimbaud]

oh, god!
this reminded me on "don't look down!"
why did you had to tell me NOT to look :)

:D

[papayahed]

hhhheeeeeeellllllllllooooooooo

[Haunted]

oh, god!
this reminded me on "don't look down!"
why did you had to tell me NOT to look :)

:D

it would make you cry

[Maryd.]

Who's crying.... No crying, ok. I'll have none of that.

[kingoflombards]

Hugs? Did someone say hugs?:D

[Maryd.]

Me... If anyone is giving out hugs King... I'll take some.

[The Atheist]

Thank you, Atheist, you are always brilliant! Why are you an ex-hedonist?

Kids.

You can't do hedonism and kids at the same time. The sacrifices we make...

:)


Isn't it sad that we adults have to be plagued with the concept of safe sex? I just can't quite decide where the whole thing ends. Do we wait the 2 or 3 weeks for a golden-haired youth to get tested before engaging in the experience of ecstacy? And just where do we stop with the prophylactics: do we place them on every erect and inverted surface?

There's another good reason for being ex-hedonist - I missed all that safe sex stuff. Safe sex to me was ensuring the handbrake was on - having nearly driven down a mountain inadvertently one night - or more frequently, making sure the husband was not going to arrive home!

Good point on barriers, though. I noticed just last week that older people are now giving STDs to each other at unprecedented rates. People over 60 whose partner has died or whom they have divorced are going out and having sex, completely unaware that they might catch clamydia or gonorrhea.

Until they develop symptoms.

Seems the only way to really approach it is: condoms until I know you well enough to trust you, or you are pronounced medically clean. I suspect the medical ticket would be a lot faster.

[rimbaud]

is it hug-day already? :)

[soundofmusic]

Kids.

You can't do hedonism and kids at the same time. The sacrifices we make...



:ladysman: What a shame, and you have that whole Byron charm thing going, too ;)
:banana: I suspect your lady, who almost caused your early demise, saw you as a young knight going after her dragon of a husband (or, perhaps, a draggin' husband)
:cold: I find that since I've passed 40; my doctors treat me like a pervert if I tell them that I am sexually active, particularly with someone half my age. On the other hand, they act like I'm just pitiful when I tell them I intend to remain single! "Oh, you'll find someone your age" :flare:
:( I find I can't really feel anything on the other side of a safe prophylactic: no heat, no intimacy, no shower of love...it's a bit better with lambskin; but not safer.
What does the guy feel?

[Maryd.]

Don't know, but could do with some. Are you offering?:angel:

[The Atheist]

What does the guy feel?

The old adage of taking a shower with a raincoat on is pretty close.

;)

[Haunted]

Watched a full episode of TAR tonight. I felt very rushed :D

[AmericanEagle]

^ Did you like it?

[Haunted]

^ The scenery and local flavor is amazing. I'm still not getting the suspense of a race though.

[AmericanEagle]

^ The scenery and local flavor is amazing.

Glad you enjoyed this part of TAR :)


I'm still not getting the suspense of a race though.

Was it because of the pace of the show? The challenges/tasks? The racers?

[Haunted]

I'm not sure, I'm not getting who they are and why I should be interested in them. Maybe there should be an intro in the beginning of each episode, but I can also see how boring that would be for someone who watches every week.

[AmericanEagle]

^ There are intros for every team on the premiere episode. There are also confessionals throughout the entire season; I think that these are most helpful if you want get to know the racers. You can also get to know them by how they interact with their teammates, other racers, and the locals.

[Haunted]

^ I didn't see the premiere episode with the intros. But even if I did, I'd have forgotten everything (short term memory here). Without a scripted & filmed intro in the beginning of each episode, it's just a bunch of people in a big rush making plenty of noises. Sometimes I find it annoying, I didn't even want to hear their babbling. I do like the travel element, it shows exotic places and put them in an interesting context.

I'm much better in following talent shows, I remember their acts and they have more personality to me that way. There're also recaps and specially filmed intros with each episode, so they're more branded.

[isidro]

My, that's an attractive description....

Yes, I think he did:nod:. I love The Joshua Tree. (Turns out, I also love stripping firemen!)
