Mak1 | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 06:55 pm     I was in a total panic! LOL, it was fun...and even educational. Edited to say that I think Jan wants all the blame.  |
Tishala | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 09:58 pm     Adven, I received this question from a snooty academic press and I was hoping you could answer it: "Insofar as this game concerns a series of challenges based, one might say, on scattered hegemonies and a particular brand of schaudenfraude confined, for better or worse, only to what Kate Hayles has called the "inhuman of cyberspace," and particularly inasmuch as the game concerns the fluidity of identificiation--one might even call it "disidentification" precisely because it concerns the fractuous, fragmented subjectivity characteristic of what Jameson famously labelled the "late capitalist" ethos--what claims does your game stake about the status of postmodernism generally and the postmodern subject specifically?" I anxiously await your response. |
Zachsmom | Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 10:06 pm     I anxiously away a translation  |
Adven | Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 05:48 am     Interesting you should mention Kate Hayles, Tish. I was thinking about her views on cyberspace just the other day while watching the latest installment of the Teletubbies. Hayles suggests that cybernetic interaction has replaced human interaction in the apocalyptic, post modern era, resulting in psychological isolationism and sterilization of the human experience. My response is, "Ah, very interesting." and "Hmm. Good point." Hope this answers your question. |
Glenn | Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 07:38 am     <eases into room after ripping the mic out of Jed245's grip> I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know, if you know what I mean Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box Religion is the smile on a dog I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know, if you know what I mean, Choke me in the shallow waters Before I get too deep What I am is what I am Are you what you are or what? Oh, I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know, if you know what I mean Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks Religion is a light in the fog I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know, if you know what I mean Don't let me get too deep Don't let me get too deep Don't let me get too deep Don't let me get too deep
 Emma Bunton  |
Adven | Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 07:45 am     It's funny you should quote Emma Bunton, Glenn. When I wasn't thinking about Kate Hayles and watching the gay teletubby do his schtick, I was thinking about her. |
Glenn | Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 08:00 am     Emma Bunton is easy to think about. Funny thing is Adven, I have been experiencing some strange thoughts myself this weekend. A friend had shared with me that it was her start of her cycle and it was coinciding with the full moon. The next morning I found myself having some cramps and my first thought was that I was having sympathy pains for my friend and I was astonished at the level my sensitivity had risen to. A little later I discovered my sensitivity level was not the reason and it was just the pizza I had the night before. What alarms me this morning is that I feel this strange kind of connection to you and I didn't have pizza last night. I am not even going to broach the subject of how Lance has been the last 24 hours but that guy must have some good stuff stashed somewhere. |
Squaredsc | Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 10:08 am     ok so how do we know that's glenn and not rabbit? |
Glenn | Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 10:11 am     ...hop ... hop ... hop ... hop ... hop ... *** ... hop ... hop ... hop ... ... hop ... hop ..... |
Reader234 | Sunday, October 12, 2003 - 11:22 am     ROFLOL!! It is dangerous to read this BB in a public library... just so you know one of my friends, is the reference librarian, she keeps looking at me strange, when I fall on the floor laughing!! |
Mware | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 06:16 am     <...whispers to Glenn that What I Am was sung by Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians, while Emma Bunton was a Spice Girl, but is, in fact, easy to think about nonetheless...> |
Weinermr | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 06:19 am     Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want........ |
Ddr1135 | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 06:34 am     Yo, tell me what you want, what you really really want? |
Weinermr | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 06:39 am     I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want... No. I better not. |

Glenn | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 12:12 pm     Adven, the press would like to inquire as to your motive for starting this Reality Adventure thread. It has been mentioned by a few people that your business had slowed down and the whole purpose of this thread was to scan the TVCH message board for potential clients. Whether it is true or not, it appears you have a new wealth of possibilities. |
Adven | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 12:25 pm     Thanks for the question, Mike (anyone who uses this thread to ask me a question is Mike Wallace as far as I'm concerned). Although business has slowed - my controversial new technique of using leeches to treat mental health problems was not the resounding success I had hoped it would be), my decision to start this game was not to cash in on the obvious wealth of new clientele TVCH so amply provides. Although if anyone is interested, I am taking on new clients through my new mental health franchise, "Headshrinkers 'R' Us". I started the game for one simple reason. It gives me an opportunity to behave like an idiot. |
Tishala | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 05:04 pm     Adven, the press has been led to believe that there is a "big lie" in this game, just as there is on Survivor this season. Can you give us a hint about that lie and what its ramifications might be? |
Adven | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 05:18 pm     You must have misheard, Tish. My game will have a "big lay" during sweeps week, but I can't name the participants. Of course, as a former boy scout or, at least someone who intended to but never got around to signing up, I am unfamiliar with this word "lie". |
Pamy | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 05:22 pm     ROTF! |
Mak1 | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 06:00 pm     Indenial/Mike, I have an idea for an in-depth investigative story. "Where Are They Now?" What has become of the first 2 people evicted from this game? Seriously, people, have you seen them? Heard anything from them at all...by email, post, phone, snail mail, telepathy?? I'm just sayin'.... doo doo doo doo....doo doo doo doo |
Reader234 | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 06:20 pm     mak - check this post I made in this thread awhile back... and note people just wanted to send in subs!! Saturday, October 11, 2003 - 01:00 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to ask the press a question, and not just any press, I'm thinking we need a Washington Post, a Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Our team has had a disadvantage during these very clever, insightful challenges. That disadvantage being something has happened to one team player BEFORE each challenge, thus making it impossible to complete these brilliant,masterly challeneges. The RA's are a very adroit team and have been up to the challenges... Coicendence? I think not!! So Indenial, do you have a most experience reporter to handle this assignment? We would be most appreciative. I'm now wondering if this isnt the big lay, uh I mean lie adven has up his sleeve... Have I mentioned what a wonderful, admirable, amazing, astonishing, astounding, awe-inspiring, awesome, brilliant, cool, divine, dynamite, enjoyable, excellent, extraordinary, fabulous, fantastic, fine, groovy, incredible, magnificent, marvelous, miraculous, outstanding, peachy, phenomenal, pleasant, pleasing, prime, remarkable, sensational, something else, staggering, startling, strange, stupendous, super, superb, surprising, swell, terrific, too much, tremendous, unheard-of, job Adven has been doing in his game??? |
Mak1 | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 06:45 pm     Reader, I'm hanging my head as I admit that when you first posted your observation I thought you were becoming unhinged and possibly delusional. And, really, who could blame you, what with all the pressure we've been under. Now I know that I was just in denial. Who knew this game would be so perilous? Please protect yourself, you are such a worthy opponent. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing the "big lay" is the episode where the groping takes place. I won't swear to that...uh-uh, no way! I ditto everything you said about the remarkable Adven...TIMES INFINITY!! Oh, and you forgot to mention his sexiness. |
Zachsmom | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 06:50 pm     I believe I was the first to mention how sexy Adven is. Y'all are just trying to steal my thunder which is Adven. The groping and the lay will commence soon after all the porn I provided is finsihed being watched I noticed a few of you growing horns earlier and I must say it's got me frightened. All I have to say is keep your paws off Adven, I get first dibs  |
Adven | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 07:29 pm     Thanks you all for what anyone can see is sincere flattery. A lesser person might think you merely want to win the game, but I know better. As for the disappearance of Patichou and Bonny, it has the show's producers (that would be me) a little concerned - not for the two who are missing, but because of any potential lawsuit that might result. Oh well, if whoever gets the boot at the next TC meets an unfortunate end we'll know something's up. To me, it just means players are going to work that much harder not to get evicted. It adds a neat spin to the game that can only mean higher ratings. |
