Snee | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 11:35 pm     i know, EM! I KNOW! sneesh. *joins in on some quality muttering and head shaking* |
Mystery | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 12:16 am     Second grade, this horrible nun told us it was the first day of spring so no one could wear sweaters anymore. My mother made my twin brother wear a sweater the next day, anyway, because he had a cold, and the nun wrapped it around his head and he wore it that way for about an hour before I snuck out, called home and my mother came screaming up to the school. That nun was gone at the end of the school year. For fourth grade I had a nun who refused to give any grades above "B" because "A is perfect and only God is perfect." And to this day I'm afraid to wear shiny shoes because "Boys will look up your dress!" |
Earthmother | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 12:50 am     hell, that's why I wore shiny shoes..lol |
Trulyscrumtious | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 01:43 am     OMG Snee, I LOVE that Commercial, for those who are curious, and just cause I can't seem to get enough of it, here it is in it's entirety... I am not a lumberjack or a fur trader, And I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber or own a dogsled, And I don't know Jimmy, Sally, or Susie from Canada, Although I am certain they are really, really nice. I have a Prime Minister, not a President. I speak English and French, not American. And I pronounce it "about" ... not "a-boot". I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack. I believe in peacekeeping not policing; Diversity not assimilation; And that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal! A tuque is hat; a chesterfield is a couch. And it is pronounced ZED not ZEE, ZED! Canada is the second largest landmass, The first nation of hockey, And the best part of North America! MY NAME IS CHRIS AND I AM CANADIAN!!!

Bernie | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 03:14 am     Oh, Canada, we stand on guard for thee... BRAVO! ENCORE! I'm Canadian too! And the warmest welcome home to our Princess Pat's, who were given a parade today in Edmonton, after returning from duty in Afghanistan. Er, how come all of us Canajuns are up so late every night? Or is it morning already east of here?  |
Trulyscrumtious | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 04:58 am     Bernie - Cause we be certafiable!  |
Discoinferno | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 05:24 am     Even though I'd probably lose, I'd sign up for BB4 like THAT. |
Ruditoo | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 05:32 am     WHAT HAPPEN TO THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Goddessatlaw | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 06:41 am     I don't know, Ruditoo - I having a perfectly pleasant conversation with our Canadian boardmembers about BB4 last night and MARIS came over and accused them of being Muslims (there were also heinous insults regarding Canadian syntax and - draw the veil). THEN she commenced gibbering about murdered goldfish, poorly constructed headcoverings and child abuse amongst the penguins. It was just horrible, Rudy. I think she's lost it this time I really do. Is there such a crime as "posting while Catholic?" I think she did it. We might want to consider revoking her license. |
Dfwteddy | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 06:50 am     Thanks to all who posted their thoughts! There is obviously a lot of creative writing skills in this bunch. Before starting this thread I kept getting the impression from some of the posters that there were a lot of wannabes here -- something I just couldn't imagine. To all of you who thought BB4 would be right up there with jail time -- thanks for confirming my own thoughts. And for the wannabes -- good luck to you -- we'll be back here next summer, too! ;-) |
Guiltyviewer | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 07:17 am     LOL Goddess..."posting while Catholic"---priceless! And now getting back to the topic---why SURE, I'd love to be on BB4 (doing happy dance!!)...now let's see, I'd hafta get waivers signed so better make a list: last two Parole Officers, Drug Rehab Supervisor, the other 'guests' at the Substance Abuse Center, my buddies at the Sexual Addiction class, good ole Doc (note to self: remember to get the special cream for the 'rash'), and I'll bet I can get at least two of my ex's abusive wives to sign so I can mention most of the affairs.... Ok, so where do I apply? (Aren't ya just drooling over the likes of ME, Arnie? Just what you're looking for, I'll bet!) Now for my serious reply, no way, Jose! I don't seek the attention these guys do...wouldn't want the public scrutiny of my life's history. Not that I've got skeletons in my closet, but perhaps just a bone or two . |
Goddessatlaw | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 10:38 am     PS, Mystery - sorry about your twin, man - that was harsh... |
Dfwteddy | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:14 am     The isolation (Cabin Fever) is eating away their brains! For someone who is ADHD (like Josh), I'd have been bouncing off the walls in the first two weeks. I can't even stand a two week vacation -- I have to do something, a project around the house, or something to keep busy. Maybe we should start a telethon for the HGs! |
Ladytex | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:40 am     To answer the question, not just no, but HECK NO! Why would I want to live in a fishtank or hamster cage, sharing a bathroom with 11 other people, wearing body armor to protect me from the stabs in the back, having ppl that don't know me crucify me and my family in the house and message boards? Sheesh .... |
Whit4you | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 02:21 am     No... I would have 10ish years ago..but not now.. I don't wanna be the token "Older lady" LOL |
Tootseug | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 02:36 am     No... I would have 20ish years ago..but not now..I don't wanna be the token "Old lady" LOL:| |
Uhoh | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 02:48 am     no way i would do it. besides being a privacy nut, going that long without being able to read would be torture. it seems like an infinitely-long bad cocktail-turned-slumber party and my patience wouldn't be adequate for the challenge :P |
Car54 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 03:58 am     Nope, no way, nyet, nein, no no nanette, no! (Shared bathroom issues). |
Dallasbbfan | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 07:43 am     ditto Car54 |
Spygirl | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 01:12 pm     Not a chance....speaking from the heart on this one  |
Deltadiva | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 07:44 pm     Yes, I would in a heartbeat. But because I look like Star Jones body wise and all, I wouldn't do that to my family. They would read these boards and go completely off. Some of the other boards those people are just mean, mean, mean. Besides, after BB did its Gerry bashing on Wednesday, I know they would have no mercy on me. Besides, my attitude would get me kicked out week one. Especially with Josh. Haven't mastered the "keep your mouth closed and your eyes open" (right Dani?) |
Whit4you | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 10:04 pm     Tottsie lol - I thought my post - posted twice at first....you even copied my dot's (cute) I've been through mental hell before so I wouldn't do BB4 for a few million... maybe for 20 million I'd concider it though... I could have a few theripist on retainer for life with 20 mill I would do a OZ BB though - those folks had a 3 month party/vacation...with a 500 g prize for one of the vacationers in the end |
Scifi_Writer00 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 10:18 pm     I wouldn't have a problem doing the game IF I had the time and would be able to put my life on hold for 3 months. There is no way, with just 2 hours notice I could get everything lined (bills, mortgage, who's gonna feed the fish, etc.), plus my job wouldn't allow it. But then I wouldn't put up with all the bashing that goes on in the house either. I'm very much like Lori in that regard. I confront people and I'd try to make others confront the the people they have issues with rather than bash them behind their backs. I figured I'd p*ss everybody odd within 2-3 weeks tops. So I guess I fit that into my schedule. |
Troj | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 10:36 pm     no way would I be in that game, money is not that important,my life is my life. I don't even have an airmiles or safeway card.privacy is not for sale , but I don't mind watching. |
Kimsuetoo | Monday, August 19, 2002 - 08:08 am     A little double standard there Troj. What the heck does a safeway card have to do with life? |
Tre34 | Monday, August 19, 2002 - 08:11 am     in a word ... NO |
Ericzj | Monday, August 19, 2002 - 08:16 am     I don't think I could be the master of my own domain for that long. |
Dfwteddy | Monday, August 19, 2002 - 09:07 am     Ericsj -- ROFLMAO! |
Lauram | Monday, August 19, 2002 - 09:09 am     Not a chance!! I wouldn't survive the nets scrutiny. |
Cmc209 | Monday, August 19, 2002 - 09:22 am     @Lauram - LOL! Same here... I don't think I could survive just based on all the dirt that sites like the smoking gun can dig up - not to mention all the nice pore cam shots that would be posted everywhere. <g> |
Poser | Monday, August 19, 2002 - 10:34 am     From South Park: With all that hockey hullabaloo and that b**ch Ann Murray too Blame Canada Shame on Canada! Their not even a real country anyway. or my personal favorites, the Arrogant Worms: Canada's Realllllllly Biiiiiiiiig! |
Kappy | Monday, August 19, 2002 - 10:54 am     Why I would not ever do a BB: 1) Ditto what Ericzj said. 2) The bathroom (toilet) camera ~ I mean come on!! 3) $500,000 is only enough if you actually win. The rest of the hg's have to give up a certain amount of their soul and then what do they have to show for it afterwards if they come in second, third, fourth . . . . . ? BUT ~ If I were to ever go on a BB ~ 1) I can honestly say that the people I have worked with for the last four years have truly trained me to deal with habitual backstabbing liars on an hourly basis. (No, I will not divulge where I work or what I do for a living) 2) I would request a white board with a dry erase marker so that I could write signs/letters to everyone on this messageboard nightly after everyone else has gone to bed and I have the cameras all to myself. (God, that would be fun!!) 3) I would attempt to not lie outright but also know that I would have to succumb to it at a certain point in the game in order to remain there. 4) Hell, why shouldn't an old person with gray hair win just once on one of these reality shows?!! |
