Sandyc | Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 10:13 pm  WHAT WOULD MAKE THE GAME BETTER DISCUSSION Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 01:39 am -An addition of an internet camera that when the player posts, no other player can see. Keep the one where others can "hear" the post as well. A place where BGs can go to talk to each other without other BGs being able to "hear". This would increase the chances for alliances if the BGs so chose to try forming them. Without regard to if I think they are good or not, in real life they can be formed---so they should be allowed here too (in private). Whatever is set up, the oustide folks should be able to see everything---no secrets to them!!! Vykin - 02:50 pm An extra week with the current people in here Roger_Ramjet - 04:10 pm Or two!!!!!!! Moondance - 04:58 pm Ditto Luke - 06:02 pm Ditto Ditto! We're just breaking the ice in terms of really discovering a lot of the inner stuff about our fellow HG's... I know I'll keep in communication with them and continue to get to know them... but it would be cool if that could still be as part of the game... In other words... I DON'T WANNA GO! I DON'T WANNA GO!!! |

Sandyc | Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 10:43 pm  THE LIVING ROOM Roger_Ramjet - 10:00 pm Hey Moon, seriously, I did get a little in the gutter..although that is just me at times...I hope you really did take it for the joking it was ...? No intention of offending! Moondance - 10:03 pm Roger... I grew up with 2 brothers... this is cake compared to what I went through! Here is something for you http://www.seanet.com/~roxie/calvin/ Luke - 10:03 pm -hey did everyone sign off for tonite? I can't believe this... i'm actually feeling good (physically)... and now nobody is left in here! OMG moon do you have any idea how big of a C&H fan I am? They are the best! Moondance - 10:06 pm This is for My Vykiness http://www.dailyquote.net/random.cfm?category=deepthoughts Roger_Ramjet - 10:06 pm Well, it's not nearly what I normally do. For me, having a person in formt of me lest me feel much more comfortable knowing where the line is....this house/sertting we've brought to life causes me to feel as though I am in front of all of you in person....however it really isn't the same, and does provide for greater chance of goofing. I fugure it's better to ask and be called a pnasy than to cross a line like that even once with you. I like competing with you! Moondance - 10:07 pm This is for you Lukey http://www.aol.americangreetings.com/greetingcard/pd/asorder.pd?L0=25&L1=101&L2=251&L3=11864&L4=0&L5=0&bfrom= 1&product=2036155&source=aol114 Moondance - 10:08 pm I suck... sorry about making the page wide... when the host puts it in the folder all will be back to normal Roger_Ramjet - 10:09 pm Thanks Moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Moondance - 10:09 pm And me with you Rabbit! Luke - 10:10 pm Hey Roger... take a look what Moon just gave me... hehehehe Roger_Ramjet - 10:13 pm -Hey, the one you sent to Vyk is really cool! Everyone go see that one!!!! I'm here Luke--you're wide awake?? But are you in bed with your "laptop"???? Luke - 10:13 pm Thank you my dear... I send you a virtual one back in return So are we staying up, or are we calling it a night? if we stay up, i can handle until 11... but i should get at least a full night's sleep... Roger_Ramjet - 10:15 pm -Luke, I'll stay up with you till 11:00 Moondance - 10:16 pm I will be here til 11 Roger... I LOVE Deep thoughts ... from SNL... too funny! Thank you Lukey! Luke - 10:18 pm kewl roger! well, since it's just the two of us... (Moon did you turn in? if so, sweet dreams, my dear!) is there anything you want to know about me? i'm thinking if there's anything i want to know about you... oh--as for me, i have nothing that's off limits... really... oh good mooon... you're still here... hmmm... let me think of a good question for you... Roger_Ramjet - 10:20 pm A serious question for you guys....if they offered us one nore week, although IN RETURN, we had to do nominations over again and go through banisment of 2 (to make 3) would you agree to it??? (knowing how it would feel after yet another week) Luke - 10:23 pm -IN A SECOND... Whoever it is... be it myself or one of you... I would like for some of us to have more time in this house... this is a great experience... although selfishly, I would want it for myself, I would also enjoy getting to know more about you all...even from the outside looking in... And this place is the perfect setting for that... Moondance - 10:31 pm I agree with Luke ... still though banishment/nominations suck! I have potty mouth tonight I may check out and let you guys talk... Love you! Luke - 10:34 pm -love you lots, dear mooon!! what about you, roger? would you like to stay in the house longer? Roger_Ramjet - 10:35 pm -"Suck" is potty mouth??? Shit! Ooops! Well, I guess if you sucked enough then you'd have........nope! I'm not going to finish!! Nope, not going to! Moon, you are more than welcome to stay and chat!! The more the better, as long as you want to. Please feel welcome to stay!!!! |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 10:58 pm  WHAT WOULD MAKE THE GAME BETTER Vykin - 10:47 pm Xenias response would be: I wanna go home, I wanna go home, Lord, how I wanna go home.... I remember the idea I had the other day before I went to sleep and then I forgot it when I woke up. The chat room MUST have a white background. The black background is horrible for seeing people chat, especially when different colors are being used. SYNCHRONICITY DISCUSSION Vykin Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 10:45 pm I too believe in things happening for a reason. I believe there is a reason we are in this house. I believe there is a reason for "every drop of rain that falls...". I've had many situations in my life where its been deja vu. I know of people, who've had out of body experiences. Strange happenings. But nothing specific comes to mind right now. The only incident I can recall directly related to me, is, I used to fly on business a lot until 3 years ago. I had no problem with flying. One day I was boarding a plane home from Vancouver. As I took the taxi to the airport, I had a real sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Couldn't figure it out, I had no problems to worry about, but just didn't feel good. The feeling increased as I checked in and went to my departure gate. They announced the boarding for the plane. I walked with "dead weight", went through and sat in my seat. Having had a friend who was a pilot, I know the procedures the pilots use, before they taxi off etc. I almost got off the plane. Then I shrugged it off, thought I was being an idiot. The feeling didn't disappear. The plane delayed taking off. Finally it was airborne. As the wheels left the pavement, I felt like I was punched in the stomach. My ears were ringing, I swore I heard "different" sounds from the aircraft. I did nothing but repeat in my mind, "please,god, please, god, please god" I dared to look up at other passengers (the plane wasn't very full). Suddenly a jolt! everyone is startled. This is 10 minutes into the flight. Pilot comes on says, "Folks, we just have a minor problem, (he mentioned it I just forget the descriptor). We are going to return to Vancouver airport, get it fixed and re-ascend. Now I'm thinking, "please god, please let us land, please god, please let us land! WE landed! I swore to myself when we taxied back to the terminal, I was getting off the plane! No way was I going back up in the same aircraft! As it turned out, we disembarked, and a new plane was brought in! The horrible feeling left my stomach when I walked off that plane. Now when I came home, I phoned my friend the pilot, explained what had happened. I was told the "minor" problem we experienced - that if we had been even 5 minutes further away from the airport, we would have crashed! The problem was not minor - it was a race against death!. welcome to stay!!!! Roger_Ramjet Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 10:38 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You bet!! So far the nominations haven't bothered me. I don't think I'd ever let me. More thn worth the return price!!!!! Hey, anyone one figured out what they will do to reward challange??? It's due at banishment time! Luke Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 10:39 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This sucks... I had a concert I really wanted to go to on Friday evening... I'm not sure I'll be able to go if banishment night is then... Maybe I'll email host and see if there are other alternatives... I wouldn't want to come back from the concert and find out that I'm banished, and not even have had the chance to say goodbye! THE LIVING ROOM Roger_Ramjet - 10:49 pm -Anyone around?? saw your post Luke--didn't have a real response other than to agree is sucks. Luke - 10:53 pm yeah, I'm still around, Roger... I've been working on one doozie of a redroom for today... Kinda talking about each of you... for some reason, I'm not so confident I may survive this round of banishments... |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 11:07 pm  Ed. note: Must be time for me to go to bed. THE LIVING ROOM Roger_Ramjet - 10:56 pm -Luke, I bet money, if everyone was completely honest, no one would say they were confident about banishment day! And it's all 5 of us--votes will be spread out thin, so a few % points can mean lots!!!! No guarentees on this one!!!! Luke - 10:58 pm Look roger... since I'll be back at work tomorrow (yuck), i'll be online even more... i want to formulate some good questions for you... for everyone, actually, but questions that would give a deeper insight into everyone... of course, with the understanding that the person answering is always in control of what limitations they will put on responding... But i think i'll call it a night on that note, and hopefully i'll have thought of some good stuff that I can post in the morning, and you can answer as the day progresses... Kewl, my friend? Roger_Ramjet - 11:02 pm That works for me Luke! I look forward to your questions. We shall see each other tomorrow---sleep well with that flu you have!! DR. KEVORKIAN DISCUSSION Vykin Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 10:59 pm I believe in Euthanasia. I don't have any problem with the assistance Kevorkian gave to those who requested his help. I would rather a loved one die on their terms given they had extenuating circumstances or disease. I worry that others would use this as a form of suicide also. But the overall good of granting a wish of a terminally ill person when there is no hope left, and when they feel their contribution in this life is complete, deserve to die with dignity and respect. Kevorkian, though he sits in jail now, is commendable in bringing this issue to the forefront. Unfortunately, he made a bad mistake in his last trial and represented himself instead of heeding the advice of his lawyer. So in ways, those who wished for his assistance in death, were not able carry out their wishes. I don't know whether it was ego, or simply Kevorkian aging, but his message has been somewhat "muted" because he sits in jail. When my father died, he emphatically said, "If I am put on an "iron lung", I will draw every since ounce of strength I may have to grab the cord and pull the plug. I can not stand the humiliation any more than I have already of my disease. |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 11:09 pm  Goodnight Noslonna -- See you on Sunday. |
Sandyc | Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 11:12 pm  Noslonna -- I didn't post any of their responses to Challenge 9. They hadn't really gotten into it yet so I left it till a more complete thread. |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 12:11 am  Thanks Sandyc! I think me and you are the only ones reading this but I can't stop until you take over! I love Wednesdays and Sundays! |

Noslonna | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 12:13 pm  General Discussions: In Your Opinion, What Would Make THE GAME Better? Vykin Wed Oct 25 - 10:47 pm Now Xenias response would be: I wanna go home, I wanna go home, Lord, how I wanna go home. The chat room MUST have a white background. The black background is horrible for seeing people chat, especially when different colors are being used.[ed. Annagator! Help!] General Discussions: Dr. Kevorkian Roger Wed Oct 25 - 11:31 pm I think the Dr. has the right idea. The quality of life is in the toilet for more older folks every year. When pain gets to be so bad, they can’t pump morphine in you fast enough, there will be some who say it’s time to go. For people who have their dignity stripped away so badly that death is the only thing they look forward to, this type of assistance by a professional seems to be warranted to me. People should be able to make these types of choices for themselves. So many things we can never fully understand until we experience them, or see someone we love experience them. At that point is when the question should be asked. Topic # 10 - Synchronicity Roger Thurs Oct 26 - 12:07 am Some of these happenings are darned hard to explain through normal means. Do I believe I got out of the freezer because of Synchronicity? No, I tend not to. Now maybe if I was able to unscrew all of the screws with my bleeding fingers... but I had a screw driver. The one with the coffin though... I have to agree... something I sure can't explain. My views I've shared...could they be wrong??? Of course. They could be correct as well, and the situation just has an explanation we can't get to yet. It certainly does make one step back and ponder. Moondance Thurs Oct 26 - 9:39 am I do want to hear more about this experience Roger... you have mentioned it before... the one about the freezer. You talked about it when I was asking for birthdays Church Vykin Thurs Oct 26 - 12:38 am Steps in quietly, takes off the helmet, picks a pew at the back. It is still, "Hello darkness my old friend... I've come to talk with you again... 'neath the halo of a street lamp... I turn my collar to the cold and damp, when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light - which pierced the night and echoed with the Sounds of Silence." Without realizing sheds a tear, missing the friends that used to be, liking the friends that have come to be. Knowing that this day too shall pass - and what will be, will be. Upon rising and leaving stops at the fountain and donates to replace the pad-lock on Xenia's padded cell, which Team B borrowed for the latest challenge to lock out Team A. Roger Thurs Oct 26 - 12:48 am I will contribute for that lock! Vykin Thurs Oct 26 - 7:59 am It appears we are Team A, my optical dyslexia has come back to haunt me! Roger, but where's the money? Is the cheque really in the mail? LOL (oops they say we can't laugh in churches) Internet Camera Vykin Thurs Oct 26 - 12:29 am You know who I am, so lets skip the intro: Tonite I will focus on the Common Working Man. I will recite a poem and I dedicate to any women out there who sit at the computers, because your husband, (okay lets be gender neutral) or wife, is either working a late night shift or similar:The Working Man I was never one to eavesdrop, When someone was hving a chat, But late one night as I came through our yard, I found I was doing just that. My wife was talking to our youngest son, As he sat on the kitchen floor, So I stopped quietly to listen Just outside the back screen door. Seems she'd heard some kids, All bragging about their daddy's jobs How they all were big executives ...and then they asked our Bob "What fine career does your father have? Their queries all began, Bob mumbled low as he looked away, "He's just a working man." My good wife waited 'till they all had left then called our young boy in, She said, "I have something to tell you son" as she kissed his dimpled chin "You said your dad's just a working man, and what you said was true, But, I doubt if you know what that really means, So, I'll explain it to you. "In all the sprawling industries that make our country great. In all the shops & stores & trucks that daily haul our freight... Whenever you see a new house built, remember this, my son. It took the common working man, to get that big job done! "It's true - executives have nice desks and stay real clean all day. They plan big projects to achieve... Send memos to relay. "But to turn their dreams - into fact, remember this, my son, "It takes the commong working man, to get those big jobs done!" "If all the bosses, left their desks and knocked off for a year The wheels of industry could still turn - running in high gear. If men like your dad aren't on the job, then industry can't run, "It takes a common working man, to get those big jobs done!" Well, I choked back a tear, and cleared my throat, As I entered through the door, My young son's eyes lit up for joy! As he jumped up off the floor. He gave me a hug as he said, "Hey, Dad, I'm so proud to be your son... "Cause you're one of the men - the special men Who can get the big jobs done! Public Service Announcement: Take time to say thanx to your garbage man today, and any other working (wo)man who may cross your way.
Luke Thurs Oct 26 - 7:28 am Good morning everyone... From what I understand from the outside information that we've been allowed to have, it seems that all of you out there would like to get to know us even more. At least that's the vibe that I've been getting... Well, today is the last full day with the five of us all together in this house, and we have become a family. There's a lot that I would like to know about others in here... about Vyk's family... about May's life and interests and hobbies... about Moon's acting career and about Roger's... well, Roger's everything... he's such an interesting character. There's also a lot of stuff that I have left to share about myself. Today I'm determined to give it my best shot to open up a bit more myself. This Game has been awesome in providing small, brief windows into each of our lives.
Vykin Thurs Oct 26 - 8:03 am Lukester (can't you cameras stop sometimes! this is a private conversation between me and Luke!) Hey don't worry buddy, how much more could any of us expose about ourselves in here than we already have? Personally, I think you've shared a lot about yourself. Everyone has! We've even allowed the cameras into the bedrooms of the minds of the players. You said more about yourself inside here, than probably any of those viewers on the outside have shared. So don't let them get you. We are not cover-to-cover hunks of meat for the National Enquirer to have a feast on. [ed. but you are a hot hunk] |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 12:20 pm  Thurs Oct 26 Living Room Roger Thurs Oct 26 - 1:46 am <I sit in the quietness of our living room. A palce that is ours. Everyone is asleep, so I think outload to myself.> Friday will be banishment day, and that will weigh heavy on BGs. We have talked of keeping in contact when we get out. There is no question in my mind that I will keep in contact with every sinlge one that wishes to do so with me. For however people think Host has done picking people, I can safely say the deed was done well. During all the times we interact, we border on not playing a game. We created relationships. Maybe that is the secret to the game.... to stay arm-in-arm, playing the game out, getting to know each other like we never thought possible in any other setting. Have we shown ourselves to the people outside to the degree they are wanting/expecting?? Only they can answer that. More importantly to us, are we showing ourselves to each other in here to the degree wanted/expected?? It would seem so to me. Are we the hamsters, are the folks outside watching us the hamsters, or are we all hamsters, just performing different hamster tricks--doing different hamster dances?? I take it the outside world sees all of our RR posts. For those who have taken the time to read this, don't go looking for my 10/25 RR conversation with Gator--you've just seen it. To us hamsters--one and all. |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 01:16 pm  Thurs Oct 26 Banner: CABANA BOY KNOWS MAY CHEATING - SEEKS SOLACE WITH NORQUERDO Living Room HiMay Thurs Oct 26 - 5:09 am Good morning everyone. I wake up to find the meanie banner from Affinity. I guess my little cabana boy didn't realize it was JUST TRUTH OR DARE! He must be pretty upset about the food sex with Roger! Well, no one on the outside can realize what we've been through. I believe I've stayed true to myself and to Affinity, as well. Perhaps the banner is just another lie! I'll find out soon enough. <whispering to Affinity... hang in there my sweet friend, I'll be home soon...> [ed. whoo hoo Aff!] HiMay Thurs Oct 26 - 7:33 am Luke, I overheard you talking to the Internet Camera! You gave me the greatest idea... I sometimes get frustrated because there is no one around during the day, to the point that I created an imaginary friend yesterday. I think what I'll do today is just type some information about myself in the living. You guys can read it when you have time and ask me questions tonight. That will give you an idea of what my hobbies and interests are and it will tell you about my life. Thanks for the great idea.
Vykin Thurs Oct 26 - 7:55 am Roger just read your post, by the way, I don't think there's anything to stop us from posting our redrooms in the house as far as I know. Regarding your post, I guess I tend to be more of a realist, I see us as a group of real people at keyboards across north american, who for a time in our lives, are hopefully having fun. If lessons are learned, then its been worth it. There should always be lessons learned. I, myself, have said before that I keep my real life private. Being a Player in this game, I have to say is the first time I have shared so extensively about parts of my real life. Whether its a good or bad choice, time will tell. At the end of the day, this is a game, we are all playing a game and this too shall pass into memory lane. Just thought I'd share my thoughts if I was in the LR when you were speaking.
HiMay Thurs Oc 26 - 7:56 am By the way, I emailed Host to see if we would be allowed to post any more pics and I never got an answer. My original pic was a cheesy glamour shot. I wish I could post a candid shot... oh well.
Vykin Thurs Oct 26 - 8:07 am Lol Himays I like cheese! Luke my friend I just spotted your post about thinking you may be out this round. Hey, remember this, I have no doubt there is a whole big Cartel of Vykin Haters out there that have a machine gun loaded with bullets engraved with my name. I think lukester, I, will be the Dead Man Walking. [ed. He was innocent too.]
Roger Thurs Oct 26 - 8:20 am Morning everyone, just checking in... things look like they are going to be insane today, so I'll pop in as time allows. Let's have a great day today.
HiMay Thurs Oct 26 - 8:49 am PART ONE I'll start from the beginning. I was born in Selma, Alabama in 1963. I have moved over 47 times in my life. I've lived in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia. I completed high school in North Carolina in 1981 and completed college at the University of Alabama in 1985. After college, I moved to Dallas for three years, San Antonio for three years, Alabama for five years, Biloxi for one year and I've been in Little Rock for 3 1/2 years. My father is a retired three star general in the Air Force and my parents live on the beach in Biloxi. I have one younger sister who is married with two kids and she lives in San Antonio. I have never been married but was engaged once in 1996. I've worked in Clinic Admin for eight years and Hospital Admin for seven. I live alone with my 13 year old cat, Levi. As I've stated in here before, he is suffering from male mammary cancer and the vet thinks he won't live much longer. We did surgery in June to remove most of the tumors but they didn't get it all and the tumors have all grown back. My vet says he's too old for chemotherapy and he advised me against it. He is the ONLY pet I've ever had in my entire life so his death is going to be extremely hard for me. He is my best buddy and I am taking advantage of the time we have left. [ed. my heart goes out to you Lucy and Levi xxoo] My apartment is in the historic district of Little Rock across the street from a new Art Center. It has hardwood floors, high ceilings, lots of windows, a fireplace, an antique bathtub with claw feet and a newly remodeled kitchen with a big gas stove. In February of 2001, I will be totally DEBT FREE and I plan on buying my first home. I already have a lot and houseplan picked out in a lovely new neighborhood here in Little Rock. HiMay Thurs Oct 26 - 8:53 am PART TWO I work for the Medical School here in Little Rock managing a large Orthopaedic, Rheumatology, and Physical Medicine Clinic. We see over 25,000 patients per year. I have 24 employees, 25 resident physicians and 11 attending doctors. I love my job! I have the greatest staff and I am proud to have them as co-workers. My hobbies include decorating my home, cooking, and traveling. This year, I've been to Disneyworld, Washington DC and Hilton Head, SC. The most important thing to know about me is that I have the most incredible family. My parents and sister are my best friends in the whole world. We are such a close knit group and holidays and visits are so much fun! I am also fortunate to have a great group of girl friends from high school that I have kept in touch with for 20 years. We meet every summer for a "Girl's Weekend". These are my closest friends and I know that they would do anything for me and I would do anything for them. Here's an example: As I said above, I was engaged in March of 1996 and was supposed to be married on Novemer 16, 1996. My fiance and I called the wedding off in July. Even though it was a mutual decision, I was devastated by the break up. All of my high school friends were set to be bridesmaids. One night in September of 1996, several of them called me and said, "What are you doing on November 16th?" I was surprised by the question and almost hurt! Then they said, "Well, we've decided we want to fly you to Myrtle Beach, SC and we will meet you there and spend the entire weekend by your side." I can't tell you guys how much that meant to me. They are the greatest six women I've ever known. At 6:30 PM on November 16, 1996, when I was supposed to be walking down the aisle, we were all having dinner together in a great restaurant at the beach. At the end of the meal, I picked up the dinner tab and thanked the girls and told them that I loved them. We were all sobbing! The waiter didn't know what to do with us! I will NEVER forget that act of kindness. I don't know how I would have made it through that weekend without them. [ed. I must have pms cause that story made me tear up too. wtg Lucy's girl friends] Well, I appreciate you taking the time to read through this. I hope that gives you a bigger window into my soul. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I love you guys... May |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 01:46 pm  Thurs Oct 26 Living Room Roger 8:55 am So, that 240ZX will be paid off???? That's great! For me, all I've gotten is the first year of the loan taken care of for my car. 5 more years to go! Your place sound really nice. Looking forward to more of your life's imformation.
Moondance 9:22 am Thanks for sharing May!... Glad you have such a great support group... most important thing we can have! Love to Levi Kitty. Morning all!
Luke 9:45 am Good Morning everyone! What a story May. It's people like that who touch your lives that really make you believe in the good things -- love, kindness, joy... Even though we may get down with our lives, our situations, our relationships, all our shit. People like those, I believe, are placed in our lives for a very special purpose -- to bring us back home to a realization that we were meant to love and to be loved. Thank you for that, May -- you just brightened up my day!
Luke 9:55 am Hey everyone! Wow, the Host emailed us saying that I'm not available! That was really nice of her, but here's the story... I've been waiting to attend this function in Sacramento for a few months, and it's tomorrow night at 7:30 pm. I'd love to go, but Sacramento on a Friday afternoon is 3 hours from where I'm at. So, I was seriously considering missing it if everybody's set on getting banishments over on Friday night. However, if everyone is available on Saturday morning, that would be extremly cool!!! Don't rearrange your plans, though. If Saturday morning is impossible for any one of you, then I'll just skip this thing tomorrow night then, and stay with you guys (There's no way I'm going to miss banishments/goodbyes) Thanks in advance.
Moondance 10:19 am Hi Lukey! Hope you are feeeling better. I am availible on Friday, anytime, but on Saturday I work. I can be here from whatever time to 9:00 at the latest. So if you want to do it Sat from 8:00 to 8:30 or 8:15 - 8:45. I don't want you to miss this concert Friday because it sounds like you really want to go.
Luke 10:21 am Thanks, my dear Moon, but I think that May will have problems doing it late on Fri as she is at least 2 hrs ahead of us. Did you say that Saturday until 8:45 would work? If not... that's okay... General Discussions: Racial Epithets Roger Well, I see I'm the first to post on this one. From my perspective, I've never known a sports team having such a name to have gotten it from an issue of disrespect... usually it's just the opposite. With that in mund, here are some thoughts. Sports teams with ethnic related names?? Maybe it’s because I don’t see harm intended--maybe it’s because I don’t see how it’s taken as a put-down. Indians Braves--the name of my son’s high school here in town. In college, name such as these have been changed. Well, maybe. USC Trojans--and that isn’t a condom on their helmets, or a mascot that looks like a condom riding on that horse when they score. So, is it disrespectful only if some of the people still live??? How about Pirates??? There is a group that isn’t looked upon as having a good standing with society--how come no outcry for them?? Again, are we only concerned when someone complains, and by the way, not weigh the complaint against the intent of why the situation exists. How about the Patriots??? A group of people that were thought highly of--none of the originals left--are we maligning them as well by having any given number of teams with that name?? How about the phrase--behind the 8 ball???? I’ve heard that is not PC to say--so, make the 8 ball rainbow color and still see if people say that statement--if they do, take another look about why that statement is used. Isn’t it possible to say anything about an ethnic group and have respectful meaning behind it??? I’m more concerned about hearing the term--all men are shit, or all men suck, or all women are nothing but whinny b***hes. Now I don’t see much respect there--yet I hear them more frequently than these sports teams names that have an ethnic component to them. And there seems to be no problems compared to calling a football team the Braves. Hey, if it’s my head that’s screwed on backwards for this thinking, I’m more than happy to sit down with any of the groups affected and hear them out. Although I will ask them why they aren’t saying it for the groups that have no voices left--after all, it it’s right for one, it should be right for the other??? And how about them Vikings??????
Vykin LOL Roger, I saw that last comment! Seriously, I think racial epithets are seen more as an issue (my response may be seen as prejudicial, biased or racial). I don't know what exactly it is. Actually, I think I do. USA is a big country with many people. Obviously, Americans have had the main issue of racism focus between blacks and whites. I don't dismiss these types of issues in other countries, but USA seems to focus on racism more. For some reason every thing that gets done, named, whatever comes which some form of racial stigmatism which shouldn't be. Perhaps many people have too much time on their hands, so they go out and form some special interest group to raise questions of racial epithism. This in my opinion diminishes the chance to "move forward" but keeps people in the past. It is not only the question of titles to sports teams. During the OJ Simpson trial when cries of racism were at their highest, CNN and other channels had many "analysts" and opinionists on. One constant I picked up, for example: The LA Police Department. Within the system, there is an overall association for policemen, then they have a whole lot more other associations within. i.e. Association for Black Police Officers, Assoc. for Hispanic POs, etc. etc. One day I found myself thinking perhaps that in itself is why the Americans can't get rid of racism. Too many separate groups meeting with their own specific agendas. I thought - NO ONE IS MEETING IN THE SAME ROOM. As a result, less people work towards a common goal. When all the thousands of groups out there run out of ideas, then focus on ridiculous things -- like take the "Indian" out of the Braves etc. As Roger stated, it's stupid" -- its a red herring. What is a more important objective for people? To spend time lobbying to get the name of sports teams or other teams changed -- or to consolidate as one group and ensure that REAL issues, such as a black man being dragged behind a pickup truck till he dies, are stopped. In conclusion: Get rid of the zillions of special interest groups. Reorganize into less groups, but with greater numbers and impact, and stop wasting time wondering whether the name of a sports team should be changed. The name is optics, its the content (the players) that really counts.
Moondance 10:06 am I agree that the USA is much more sensitive and focused on racism but it is a free country and with freedom comes limits ... there is a so called balance to everything. It is when the balance is so far off when things get bad. I will use the sport teams as an example. Will changing the names of sports teams make everyone happy? Everyone is going to have a complaint about something. Can't make everyone happy all the time. But you can have respect for groups who are truly offended. I myself as a Native American, am not offended when I see the Washington Redskins... In my head it represents a football team, not the First Nations. But if as a group the Native Americans are, then I will respect their opinion and be willing to keep an open mind, stand behind them and lend my support. I understand both sides but I do think for what they went through, we owe them respect ... that much we can do. I do not think the teams like ... the 'Yiddish Team' or the 'Jumping Beans' (these are just examples) would last very long because it is obviously disrespectful ... the Native Americans see ... redskins as disrespectful so I understand! We are accustomed to calling them the Redskins but does that still make it right? Do I think it makes a big difference... I believe it does in the big picture. It's all perception, I guess. Discussions: Kids Can Be Funny Without Even Trying Vykin 8:14 am Okay cellmates, surely you've heard of funny stories about kids, or had your own kids say or do silly things. Post them. I getting tired of being the only one posting real life funnies, and you guys getting away with someone elses jokes at the Improv! SO START POSTING! Vykin 8:31 am Okay Vyks if you really insist. A friend told me this one this morning: [ed. Vykin posts funny stories about a kid named Conor, his friend, Case's 9 yr old son and his grandma.] Thinking of Case's Mom reminds me of the first time I ever heard of Grandma. It was during the OJ Trial Days. Case was heavily involved in debating the trial, as were the rest of us. Mom had just purchased her first computer, in her mid-late 70s (you do the math). Mom is excited, finally gets to "surf the wave to the future my man!". Case is giving directions to Mom on how to get to the OJ CourtTV chatroom. We all await, (about 50 of us in the room), "Mom's" arrival. An hour goes by nothing, another hour, still no sight of Mom. Case wonders, picks up the phone to call Mom ask what the problem is. Turns out Mom got somewhat "lost" on this new "electronic highway". Instead of getting into OJ Chat she ended up in a Christian Chat Room, enjoyed the people there so much, and ended up staying there! And to this very day, we've never seen Case's Mom. (I hope she doesn't finally decide to get to the OJ chat and find out the trial is over!)
Moondance 10:09 am I think that your Mom found the Christian chat room instead of the OJ chat was more like Synchronicity. |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 02:01 pm  Thurs Oct 26 Living Room Luke 10:21 am Thanks, my dear Moon, but I think that May will have problems doing it late on Fri as she is at least 2 hrs ahead of us. Did you say that Saturday until 8:45 would work? If not... that's okay...
Moondance 10:28 am yes... no later than 8:15 so I can leave for work at 8:50.
Himay 10:40 am I'm OK with whatever you guys decide. I appreciate you looking out for me, Luke. And thank you for your kind words about my best friends. They are truly great people! I'm just afraid that Luke will be rushing to get back in time on Friday night, and I don't want you to be a speed demon and put your life at risk! We can do it EARLY Sat morning... like 7:30 AM. That way, we have 30 minutes in the chat room and 30 minutes to say goodbye. Although we may not have a lot of fans online at that time. It's really y'alls decision. I'm flexible. And hell, if you decide to do it at midnight on Friday (that's 2:00 AM for me), I'll just set my alarm and get up!
Luke 10:48 am Moondance! Your fan site riddled my screen with pink butterflies! hehehehe
Moondance 10:54 am I love those Butterflies! Aren't they great?!!! I have no problems with late Friday or Early Saturday. Hey a butterfly clipart would be cool!
Roger 11:02 am Foks, I can do it on Friday any time or Saturday morning, as long as we are done by 10:00 -- prior commitment from a couple of months back.
Moondance 11:24 am Hi there Roger Rabbit!
Luke 11:57 am Hey guys. I can't take it. I gotta go home. I'm feeling miserable. I'm taking off from the office right now, and then as soon as I get home, I'm going to crash for an hour or two. I'll check in later this afternoon.
Moondance 12:29 pm Feel better Luke! |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 02:08 pm  Rock the vote! Part 2 The ballots are in and counted, but our accountants from Price Waterhouse haven't given us the envelopes yet. You've each voted individually. Now, it's time to guess who won each category. You're divided into two teams: Team A: Himay, Vykin, and Roger Team B: Moondance and Luke Each team has been given a discussion area. Use your team's area to discuss who you think won each category. You may not simply say "I voted for.." and then tally things up to make your decision. Appoint a team captain and discuss who you think will receive the most votes for each category. When you have reached a consensus for your team, the captain will post your final answers in the folder provided. Deadline for final answer posting is 6:00 p.m. PST Friday. The team with the most correct answers wins. |
Noslonna | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 02:44 pm  Thurs Oct 26 Rock the Vote: Team A: Himay, Vykin, and Roger- Which Player has the best sense of humor?
- What Player would you most like to meet in real life?
- What Player has been the most open about his/herself?
- Who has been the most guarded?
- Which Player seems to be the most even-tempered?
- Who seems to be the most volatile?
- Who seems to be the oddest?
- Which Player do you think is most gullible?
- Which Player posts too often?
- Who posts too little?
- Whose posts ramble the most?
- Whose posts are the most succint?
- What Player do you think has the most interesting real life?
- Which Player do you think will be part banished next? (We know two Players will be banished. We just want to know who you think one of those will be.)
- Which Player do you think will win?
Vykin: OK Sgt. STORCH- Get that padlock out from Xenias Cell, I don't trust the opposition.
- We will now designate this TheWarRoom! Our code on outside for only HiMay, me and Roger will be: I have to go to the WR (dont' worry Moon and Luke will think we mean the washroom) but this should be our signal for a meeting in here.
- We have an advantage of one extra brain--lets use it!
- Let's Whoop us some Butt!
Himay: Woohooo! I get the ménage a trois! OK, I have the code phrase memorized -- we can sooooo win this one! Roger: I'm up for this one... and! Himay: Team A sounds kinda boring... I think we should be: Team Ménage A Trois. I love this game. Moondance: Himay: Moon, up for a little voyeurism tonight? hehehe Roger: Mole! We gotta MOLE!!!!!!! A Moon-Mole!
Vykin: Okay lets get serious. Do we think I have the most sense of humor? Remember we have to think how many of the 5 people would get the most votes for each question. If we agree then lets move to question #2 (but only if we agree with #1) What Player would you most like to meet in real life?
Roger: Vyk--I was thinking of how to approach this and stay within what the Host said--no comparing votes then trying to figure it out. I have an idea for doing that. I porpose we each answer the 15 questions from the reference point of what we thing the other 4 of us woudl say. If we can't figure that out (like for me, I can't figure and answer for #15 for what the 4 of you would say) then we ? the number. We compare what we wrote. For those we have 3 of the same, no discussion...discuss the rest. If 2 say the same thing, and the other person provides "?", then maybe accept that right out of the blocks? Or do it the way you started and go 1 at a time and discuss?? Which ever way you guys like.
Moondance:
Roger: I feel another bite me coming on, Moon-mole!
Thurs Oct 26 Himay: 4:56 am Roger, I think that's a good idea. But I still think we should plan a time to actually post our ideas, discuss and enter the finals answers. We need to keep our cards close to our chest!
Vykin: 6:00 am Roger, I believe I basicially said the same thing in my post as well. But if we "jump" around from say Quest. #2 to #15 etc, we're gonna lose time. I was serious with my thoughts to question #1. I also think saving time would be we come to consensus on a question, then post the next question, so we aren't scrolling up and down all the time. The other thing is, HiMays comes on in the early morning, I'm on also in early morning. Then toward evening. So we need to have a way for HiMays to share her thoughts before she goes off to work. So you and I could contemplate them while she's away. I think HiMay also said she has happy hour tonite. Though what could be happier than this game? LOL Another thought: If we can at least run through all the questions -- then we could go back and review our answers and chance what we have to. I'm kind of stumped on Question #2.
HiMay: 7:17 am Vyk, I'm really on from 4 AM PST to 9 PM PST. I'm going to be out for a few hours tonight, but other than that, I can respond at any time. What if we all say what we think and then go back and discuss the ones we don't agree on.
Roger: 8:23 am Vyk-- I'll work this however you guys want to. You answer your question about #1, yes I beleve if all 5 papers were put together, you would be the one called out the most as bset sense of humor. For #2, I invision you would be the one with the most responses as well.
Vykin: 8:42 am Lol Roger tks for compliment? But its funny, cuz I usually find other people interesting and don't really look at myself. (Personally I think its a fluke that I've had some of the things happen to me that have -- but its because other people fascinate me so much more, than I fascinate myself. #2 So that one I'll have to rely on yours and HiMay's response. I forget who I picked on that one,
Roger: 8:45 am I am trying to forget everything I said...or at leats put it to the side and think of what's happened in here to indictae what others would say--like Luke/Moon saying how they fel like they have become brother/sister. I will use infomration like that to imagine 5 pieces of paper for each question, and who's name is most used. Himay: 9:00 am Ok, I'll agree with Vyk for #1 and I was thinking Moondance for #2. That would be my choice and I think Luke would say the same. What are your thoughts?
Roger: 9:05 am I agree that would be Luke's choice--I don't think Vyk would pick himself, si looks like we need to go with a different name than what I thought! May--off to go handle lost of chemicals
Roger: 9:05 am Or lots of chemicals--whichever works better
Moondance: 9:30 am
Luke: 11:18 am
