Fruitbat | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 09:34 am  Why, thank you. I may change my pick. I talked my self out of Alicia on another thread by accident. I'll go read the bio's again. After the first episode half of us will regret our choices. I have a creepy feeling that I am going to like Amber. This will not make Aven any easier to live with, I know and I should probably keep it to myself. |
Wink | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 10:15 am  Oh Fruit!!! That's a MAJOR boo-boo. Zip it!! |
Adven39 | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 10:17 am  Too late, HRH. Amber will win people over, one by one. She's already up to two - you and I - and the show hasn't even started yet. As the show goes on, and the contestants are exhausted, starved, smelly and infected with rare tropical fungi, I'm sure her perky cheers will endear her to them all. |
Wink | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 11:07 am  Yes Adven it will be interesting to see just where the "tropical fungii" pop up on the little miss. |
Adven39 | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 11:10 am  I'm guessing her pom poms. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 11:26 am  FALSE ALARM!!! I am back to thinking Amber is self absorbed and vapid. It was a close call there for a minute but I'm back now, Wink. Brain cramps, sorry. I read everyones luxury items and hers was a journal and pen. This does not bode well for Amber. There are others that concern me. I really like Jerri but she brought Bongo Drums. I have to come to grips with that as she is near the top of my list. Colby brought a Texas flag. Michael brought war paint. Now there is a practical choice right up there with a flag. Lemme see......out in the bush for a month, what luxury would I miss the most?........ah yes...a flag and war paint. Tough call, I'll bring the flag and hope to hell one of my teamates thinks of the paint. The toughest women brought make-up. Maralyn lipstick and Debb eye liner. They just moved up a peg but they were so low to begin with it really didn't get them far. I'm thinking Mitchell, Jerri or Elizabeth. I like keith too. If this is for the win I'm not sure any of those will make it. I'll be back. |
Willi | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 11:56 am  HRH...I go out for a short while to get my hair "frou froued" and you decide to pick a cheerleader?????????! So glad you came back to HRH reality. Whew, that was a close one. |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 12:01 pm  Bat, I picked Keith, and you like him!? LOL! You keep trying to give away a week's worth of my salary, however liking Keith means I get to keep at least a little of my money! <holding up Bat-emptied wallet to block the throwing star from Bat> |
Fruitbat | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 12:06 pm  Scared myself, too. I really didn't choose her, I just got this hideous psychic flash. I'm going to choose Mitchell. He brought a song book, not the choice of my dreams but its not bongo drums. Too bad Jerri is great. Everyone is drumming willie nillie these days. It sets my teeth on edge. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 12:13 pm  I like Keith very much, Lance. Not so fast though....... there will be many more times I will spend your money on foolish wagering. In fact I bet you a week of your pay right now that my choice is taller that yours. |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 12:21 pm  Bat, yet another chance to keep my money. I feel compelled to turn down that bet. For two reasons--1) you would win, and 2) you'd win with my money. I will avoid that combination whenever possible. <handing over bank account numbers to Bat, as she wagers a week's worth of my salary at the pace Amelda Marcos would shop for shoes> <I can only hope she wagers a week of net salary, not gross--I claim single/0 and pay extra each month on top of that> |
Adven39 | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 01:11 pm  Yeah, bringing a songbook is a gem of an idea, HRH. That's going to come in handy when he's scounging for food or fighting off a kangaroo. It's probably a "how-to" manual on yodelling. You'll regret ignoring that brief flash of sanity when Amber pockets the million and then doubles it selling the memoirs she recorded in her cheerleader's journal. |
Wink | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 01:15 pm  And then takes the masked man on the road with her. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 01:34 pm  Not a publisher in the world would be interested in the ramblings of a 22 year old. I washed my hair, got my period, I'm hungry, laced with "deep" philosophical observations and self discovery. What a read. Now Jimmy Crack Corn around the fire? That's somethin' special. |
Adven39 | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 01:44 pm  She's only 22? I thought she was 23. That does change things a bit. She might not be the deep thinker I first imagined her to be. Either way, I think her memoirs would make riveting reading - although I'd be inclined to skip the chapter on her period. And, Wink, you might be on to something there. If she did take the masked man on the road with her, it would demonstrate that not only does she have looks and intelligence, but remarkable taste, as well. |
Wink | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 02:07 pm  Yes all bad. |
Willi | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 03:44 pm  No wonder my teeth are always on edge. |
Leap | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 04:07 pm  Hey all you negative about Colby - this is a bit of a spoiler so don't keep reading if you don't want to know - they use his flag for the roof of their shelter. Score at least 1 point for Colby. |
Adven39 | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 09:26 pm  I'm sure Colby brought the flag with that in mind, Leap. Just as the quick-witted Amber brought the journal in case there was a toilet paper shortage. We still need more people to pick Survivors. Digi, if you're out there, why don't you see if Luckygal or any of the others want to come in and play. |
Moondance | Thursday, January 25, 2001 - 09:49 pm  Adven I would love to pick one so I need to read up on them.... unless you suggest one |
Fruitbat | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 04:08 am  Ah ah ah Moon. Your are asking for trouble here. Pick your own. He is apt to lead you astray. A waterproof, opaque flag? No points from this corner. |
Willi | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 07:07 am  Lead you astray... Like over to the "cheering" section. |
Adven39 | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 07:32 am  I wouldn't suggest you pick Amber, Moon. As you can see from the comments of Wink, Digi, HRH and Willi, my thoughtful and intelligent selection seems to be an object of ridicule and scorn. I think you should go with your own instincts on this one. I'd hate to pick one for you and have them get booted early. You might actually believe HRH's wild ravings and think I'd lead you astray on purpose. Her, maybe. I would stay away from Rodger, though. If he lasts more than two episodes, I'll eat my pom poms. |
Fruitbat | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 09:05 am  I'm unofficially rooting for Roger...THIS I would travel to Canada to see. |
Willi | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 09:29 am  lol Adven & Fruitbat |
