The Grove?
Lurknomore | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 10:38 pm     Did you guys catch this before the FOTH? They were all talking about absurd things that have happened to their real lives while they were in the house and Roddy said "The Grove burnt down." Then there was a fast FOTH. Now wasn't there some implication that he owned a bar (he probably thinks he is Hemingway and writes at it LOL). Where is he from again? Wonder if there is someplace called The Grove. OH MY Belly's Part 2...without the shameless promotion. |
Vinnyinla | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 12:53 am     "The Grove" in LA is a brand new upscale mall that is located next to "The Farmer's Market" on 3rd street. |
Cathie | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 12:55 am     Did it burn down (or up?) |
Tisha90029 | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 01:33 am     Nah. The grove is still standing--as of my visit today, anyhow. |
Oregonfire | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 01:49 am     Talk about a conspiracy theory! This sounds very much to me like the Bohemian Grove, a secret society that some of the U.S.'s most powerful men belong to. They have a "pit of fire" ritual at the Grove see link. (I know this is far-fetched, but interesting. I heard about it on NPR a month ago.) Bohemian Grove |
Bernie | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 04:27 am     Judging by its exclusivity, I doubt if Roddy is a member! Do you think that if he was, they'd kick him out for being on BB and actually MENTIONING their club??? :-) (Thanks for the link, Oregon) |
Oregonfire | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 04:53 am     I think now, upon rereading Lurk's post, is that they were joking about what things have happened while they have been in the house. I didn't get that on the first reading of the post. The first explanation--that it's a mall in L.A--makes a lot more sense than Shoddy belonging to a supersecret society that burns an effigy during their quasi-Satanic rituals. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it were one of his goals in life! |
Bernie | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 05:15 am     LOL!  |
Lurknomore | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 08:39 am     Oregon they were joking. BUT everyone was talking about something in their own lives that would be gone or drastically changed. So it just raised my curiosity. Unless he works at or owns that Mall I'm not sure that is what Roddy would be referring to. Given the context of what everyone else was saying, it had to be something quite specific to him. What got my attention most was the very fast FOTH as soon as he said it. Thinks that make you go hmmmmmmmm still |
Sam222 | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 08:56 am     I think he was refering to somewhere in Memphis that Amy says she hangs out at all the time, she has mentioned it a lot on the feeds |
Marcieb | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 10:29 am     I hear her mention it last night as one of the things she looks forward to when she leaves Thursday along with the lakehouse and boating with Hadley where she can drink as much as she wants without being supervised. |
Sisalou | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 12:47 pm     Oregonfire - it made me think of Bohemian Grove also. I luv conspiracy theories. I even had a dream about BB, Ewing and conspiracy the other nite. |
Hotty_Toddy | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 12:49 pm     I had to get an account just to answer this question! Finally! Sam and Marcie are closest. I am SURE that they were referring to The Grove at Ole Miss, not some of the other groves people have mentioned. I know this because I went to Ole Miss and I live in Memphis. The Grove is a large park-like area with giant old trees in the center of the Ole Miss campus in Oxford, Mississippi. On home football games, we tailgate there, only we are not so crass as to drive cars in there. So thousands of people set up tents, huge tables with tablecloths, awesome Southern food, silver candlesticks, and lots of bourbon. We spend several hours before the game milling about The Grove and socializing, and several more after the game. It is an all day event and you get to eat, drink, and have fun with about 10,000 of your extended Ole Miss family members. This is why Amy and all of us love it so much! I am sure her heart dropped when Roddy kidded about that! Everybody I know is getting so excited because the first game is only a month away. I wouldn't want to miss any either. I know they were referring to our Grove because I saw part of that convo. Amy was talking about getting out and then they were teasing her about things that might have changed while she was in the house, that Buckie was famous, that Hadley was famous, that everybody had transferred to Mississippi State (Amy: Noooo! That would never happen!), etc. |
Marcieb | Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 01:19 pm     Hey, Hot, good for you. You are totally right in your thinking! She did talk about the picnicking there. You must be so proud. I am. Not so sure about Bucky being famous but Hadley--there's a name I'll never forget. |
