Bbrules4ever | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:43 am     ......"91% Alchohol"......he keeps telling Danielle he needs "91% Alchohol" and if he doesn't get some "he just doesn't know what he's going to do"!!!!! Marcellus can sometimes be melodramatic, but he is really serious in saying this. IS it normal for someone to want not ice cream, not music, not your favorite book as a luxury item........but to desperately want "91% Alchohol"????? MArcellus GET A GRIP!!!!!! |
Flyonthwall | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:46 am     Mar told Gerry this morning he's a germaphobe. That due to his sexual orentation he's OCD about it. So I guess that's his justification. I do understand it in his sexual life. In this house with these picking HG it would concern me about germs, but not to this extream! |
Kalekona | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:47 am     As a gay man germs and illness are huge part of your life so as odd as it seems for us to marcellas it is natural. |
Hillbilly | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:47 am     ..I think we need to get this guy a 'bubble' to stay in... |
Bbrules4ever | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:49 am     actually.....isn't it impossible for them to catch a cold virus? Because none of them had a cold when they came into the house....and without a rhinovrus for them to catch their enviroment is already sterile. SO they should just RELAX!!!! |
Hillbilly | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:50 am     ...yeah...but you have the behind-the-scenes people coming in during outside lockdowns, etc. |
Crazydog | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:51 am     LOL, when I first read this I thought he meant he needed a drink, and was wondering what on earth "91% alcohol" was. Then I realized he wanted rubbing alcohol. I thought he had some. I've seen him vigorously scrubbing the bathroom counters with something. Did he run out? |
Zachsmom | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:51 am     Kalekona Why would being gay have anything to do with being a germaphobe? I think it's a personality trait of Marc not a "gay" trait.. |
Costacat | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:53 am     Each to his or her own... personally, I wouldn't be desperately wanting alcohol if I were in the BB house. As far as his lifestyle, I know a lot of gay men and woman. I do not know anyone -- straight or gay -- who is as fixated about germs as Marcellas. For *Marcellas,* the combination of being a germophobe *and* being gay may be a combination for which he justifies being OCD. But Fly... I don't know anyone else who even owns a bottle of 90-whatever percent alcohol! (Well, OK, unless it's the kinda alcohol you drink rather than the kind you use to kill germs! <grin>) |
Bbrules4ever | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:54 am     actually.....marc has specifically said that he does NOT want rubbing alchohol because its only 70%.......only "91% Alchohol" is good enough for his needs........UGGH!!!!..... talk about extremes..... |
Costacat | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:54 am     Jinx, Zachsmom! |
Annavenis | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:54 am     I understand Marcellus' germophobia... I'm a lot like that - I never go anywhere without antibacterial hand lotion and this antibacterial spray to use on shopping carts, toilet seats, etc. I'm sure he's worse than I am but I'd be like that if I were confined with a group of strangers with questionable personal hygiene. |
Kalekona | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:55 am     that is exactly what marcellas said this morning that gay men tend to worry about illness more than most. This is a true fact as i have gay friends and a gay brother. not ocd to marcellas's extent but still VERY germ consious. Since many gay men are HIV possitive others in the gay community have learned to be extra careful with germs and illness, since what is nothing to us could kill someone with AIDS |
Battlestar | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:55 am     90% alcohol is just Rubbing Alcohol---he likes to wipe toilet seats and personal objects that others use with it |
Costacat | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:56 am     Anna, since you recognize your concerns about germs, would YOU go live in a house for three months with 12 strangers? Edited: I mean, aside from the chance to win $500K. But knowing you have a concern (phobia, maybe) about germs, why would you willingly subject yourself to this? Really and truly honestly curious... |
Hillbilly | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:57 am     ...sorta reminds me of the "What about Bob" movie... |
Flyonthwall | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:57 am     LOL Costacat! If I had that percentage of alchol and was in the house I would be drinking it right now! And I don't drink! LOL These guys all have their little quirks, as we all do. I'm a bit OCD due to my immune system being hampered by my illness and meds. But I never scrub anything with alchol or pour it down the drain to clean out others spit! I do run around with lysol after guest leave though! LOL I feel bad about that, but germs come in eveyday and I get sicker, so i do have to watch that. Let me say I do understand how Mar feels and if that is what he needs to do to feel more comfortable then nothing is wrong with it. It's just a bit weird to me when i am so self concious of germs due to my health issues. But everyone around me thinks I am OCD about it! LOL Especaially my hubby! |
Costacat | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 12:00 pm     OMG Fly! I totally FORGOT about his pouring alcohol down the drain! And Fly, you have a very specific reason to be careful. But I doubt if you would've wasted your supply of alcohol by pouring it down the drain (literally!). Of course, 90% alcohol (of the imbibing kind) probably is a bit of a germ-killer, too, yes? |
Kalekona | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 12:01 pm     Howie Mandel won't even walk on a hotel carpet! He puts tissue down on the floor to walk on, he also won't sit on a hotel bedspread. he has a serious OCD germ phobia and talks very openly about it. Guess his kids thinkk he's pretty funny with some of the things he does. |
Costacat | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 12:02 pm     Fly, you need to tell those folks around you that there is big ole difference between being OCD and being *concerned* about germs. Actually, you need to tell Marcellas that, too!<grin> |
Bbnan | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 12:04 pm     Killing bacteria, I suppose could be a concern of gay men who practice anal sex, but alcohol won't kill hiv virus, just e-coli. E-coli is also killed with warm warter and soap. One doesn't need anti-bacterials for that. For fear of sounding like Roddy, I see a lot of ignorance about "germs". Anti-bacterial soap actually can be a really bad thing especially for women. Over use of anti-bacterial soaps and products kill the "good" bacteria on our bodies that keep a balance going. If you kill the bacteria, then the fungus will overgrow. So-called yeast infections in women are really a fungus, as is athlete's foot and tinea versicolor (those white spots some people get on their skin that don't tan) With the exception of hand washing after using the bathroom and keeping kitchen utensils clean after contact with certain foods a person doesn't need to over-do it with the cleanliness thing as far as germs are concerned. Over-showering, especially in older people is also bad. I don't consider Gerry that old, but use of soap can be really drying on the skin, and unless one stinks, daily showers are not advised. |
Wendydarling | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 12:04 pm     I won't sit on a hotel bedspread, either..do you know how frequently those get washed? I won't touch a hotel blanket, or the remote control either. Check out one of those 20/20 shoes on filth in hotels...under the ultraviolet lights...you'll lose your lunch. It's not OCD, it's just prudent. |
Fluff | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 12:08 pm     Daily showers aren't advised??? And all this time I've been...... |
Battlestar | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 12:10 pm     His phobia for germs in not HIV related---he hates all germs. The handle on a shopping cart at the grocery store was found to be the dirtiest public object with most diverse array of bacteria. Even more then public washrooms and drinking fountains. -----don't tell Marcellas !!! ;) |
Wendydarling | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 12:10 pm     Err, I meant 20/20 SHOWS in the post above...and yes, I stay in 4/5 star hotels. It doesn't matter. They're all filthy. |
