No Thanks For the Swell Digs!
Lorry | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 09:41 pm     Did you all believe how lazy the Morgans are??? You would think, out of gratitude for all the food, soft beds, and for some, acceptance... the Morgans would at least help around the ole campfire. Duh??? Poor Lil is right in there... hauling wood for the fire, getting water... she's sure doing her share. So what with the other Morgan's??? |
Surfgirl | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 10:06 pm     I totally agree Lorry! Tijuana stating: "Drake works to hard"..had me rofl! Noticed she was working pretty hard at scarfing the fish down! As for feeling shes unable to be "herself" at Drake camp.. I guess lazy non-helpful slug would be kinda hard to portray around the Drakes! And you would thing Darrah could at least clean the fish,,geez.. she is a Mortician after all.. whats a little fish guts compared to that! |
Catfat | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 10:17 pm     I agree, Surfgirl and Lorry. ROFL at "lazy non-helpful slug". She sure macked down on that fish, mm-mm-mmm. Was Ryan being as unco-operative and lazy? Can't remember. |
Surfgirl | Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 10:43 pm     Yeah.. he was.. but I think he pretty much knew he was outa there..you know all that manipulating and scrambling to save your butt takes alot out of you. LOL Doesnt leave much energy for real work! |
Guarddog | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 04:44 am     Ah, but remember Darrah's little speech..."I go get farwood when I want to get farwood, so don't think I don't get farwood." Or something. I didn't have the closed captioning on last night. *rolling eyes* I totally agree. They reminded me of the Jenna/Heidi/Rob/Alex combo from Amazon. "You! Serve Me!" Barf. |
Azriel | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 04:51 am     ROFL, Guarddog! Darrah gets enough farwood to last a cupala days. She don't need to be gittin no farwood everday. |
Maris | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 05:14 am     I thought it was hysterical the way Darrah, et all were scoffing at the Drakes for always working when it is sooooooooooooo not necessary. They are too dumb to realize that the only reason there was a merge was that Burnett realized the Morgans were starving to death and the most incompetent tribe ever to grace Survivor. |
Texannie | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 05:58 am     ITA Maris! |
Pamy | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 09:20 am     If Darrah makes it to final 2 I will be so upset. She is useless on the island and sooooo boring! At least Jenna was a little more entertaining. |
Meridian | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 10:02 am     Perhaps all the energy spent on contemplating "gittin' the farwood" completely drained Darrah's reserves. Remember, she isn't used to dealing with clients who are in a rush. |
Whoami | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 09:22 pm     OMG Meridian. You may have hit the nail on the head with Darrah. With her job, she's used to people laying around!  |
Watching2 | Friday, November 14, 2003 - 09:32 pm     ROFL!!!!!! Oh gawd, that is FUNNY. |
Pamy | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 10:44 am     LOL!! |
Urgrace | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 02:16 pm     HaHaHaHa Meridian and Who, that's funny. |
Chippy | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 03:56 pm     Exactly right, Maris. I too thought that merge was a livesaving measure. |
Texasdeb | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 04:16 pm     I'm totally with you Maris & Chippy. I understand why MB has done some of the things he's done this season with that pitiful Morgan tribe & all, but please stop stacking the deck on my fav, Rupert. Because of this we get to see lazy Darrah just "hang out & git farwood" (have we actually seen her "git any farwood"), Lil is back as the "floater", Burton is back as the "A-hole", & Jon is still there (it's looking like folks are already looking to take him to the end). I'm wishing that Jon gets his Drake face back on & grabs his little pawn, Lil & goes to Rupert with Burton's scheme. |
Azriel | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 05:24 pm     Texasdeb said, Because of this we get to see lazy Darrah just "hang out & git farwood" (have we actually seen her "git any farwood")' We haven't actually seen Darrah git that farwood but, I think it might have happened like this. The day after Lil was voted out of their tribe Tijuana was cooking some rice for dinner. When she served it, everyone complained that it was cold and crunchy. Tijuana was upset and whined about how hard she worked cooking that meal and nobody appreciated it. In all his wisdom, Andrew said,'I've been studying this fire and I think it's gone out. Didn't that Lil person go out everyday and get logs and put them on the fire?' Tijuana said,'Yes, she did, but I wasn't going to do that. That's more work than is necessary' Darrah said,' Ohhhhh yeah, you know that Lil was a tryin to show me how to keep that far agoin afore she left here and I was a tryin hard to listen to her, but Ryan was across the camp makin the cutest kissy faces at me an I was so tired cuz I'd been a standin for nigh on 15 minutes and I needed to be layin back down before I wared myself out.' So they all went and layed down and thought about it some more and finally Darrah got up and said,'I think I'll be goin and gittin some of that there farwood, but I'm gonna be smart and git enough for a cupala days' Darrah came back 20 minutes later and proudly showed them all the two twigs she had collected and then she fell down in exhaustion and slept for 9 hours straight.

Starshine40 | Saturday, November 15, 2003 - 10:11 pm     Azriel, The best laugh of the day! |
Luvtrash | Sunday, November 16, 2003 - 12:09 am     I will never look at farwood the same way agin. |
Watching2 | Sunday, November 16, 2003 - 01:52 am     ROFLMAO, Azriel!! Farwood and crunchy rice. What a riot! LOL |
Meridian | Sunday, November 16, 2003 - 05:02 am     LOL Azriel! With all her newly-found survival skills, Darrah will no doubt write a book on "How To Go Git Farwood for Dummies." |
Naptown | Sunday, November 16, 2003 - 07:24 am     Too funny Azriel! Meridian, would Darrah have enough energy left after gittin farwood to actually write a book too? |
Lexie_Girl | Sunday, November 16, 2003 - 10:23 am     <<< spewing Coke >>> OMG... that was too funny!!! |
Lorry | Sunday, November 16, 2003 - 11:11 am     First post I've read today.... and already I'm laughing and feeling good. You people are better then any pill the doctors hand out. hahahahaha What a bunch of bananas we are!!! hahahaha |

Maris | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 04:01 am     I thought of this thread when I read this story today: SHREVEPORT, Louisiana (AP) -- Southern drawls have thwarted voice recognition equipment used by the Shreveport Police Department to route non-emergency calls. A switchover to a lower-tech, touch-tone system -- in which callers hear a voice recording they can respond to by pressing a different number for each division -- is scheduled for Monday, said spokeswoman Kaycee Hargrave. The voice-recognition system asked people to name the person or department they wanted. More often than not, the system just didn't understand, and they wound up at the wrong place, said Capt. John Dunn, who oversees police communications. "In Louisiana, we have a problem with Southern drawl and what I call lazy mouth. Because of that, the system often doesn't recognize what (callers) say," he said. Interim Chief Mike Campbell knows all too well how frustrating the voice recognition system can be. "I can count on one hand when I have been transferred to where I've wanted to go, and I know the system. I can imagine how frustrating it would be for a citizen," he said. link |
