Sharing beds.......
TV ClubHouse: Archive: Sharing beds.......
Therlin | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 12:59 pm     I grew up overseas. Many hotels have two single beds put together. Why? I don't know, but that's the way it is at many, many places. Besides, who wouldn't want to be that close to Darwin. |
Buttercup | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 01:56 pm     Twin beds or not, what's the big deal? I think some people are a little too homophobic in this country Love the thread, though--brought back some nice chest images  |
Tabbyking | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 02:30 pm     i haven't seen any homophobes on here...just gigglers...unless i missed something, everyone was just having fun with their posts! |
Tabbyking | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 02:48 pm     and as ellen said to her daughter, audrey, on "national lampoon's christmas vacation", when audrey was upset she had to share a room with her brother, and asked ellen, " do you know how perverted that is?" "WELL, I HAVE TO SLEEP WITH YOUR FATHER" |
Buttercup | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 03:25 pm     Tabbyking, I just made a general statement--not directed to anybody in this thread Love your Ellen reference!  |
Tabbyking | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 03:34 pm     well, i figured that, but wanted to clear it up for the others!! lol |
Seamonkey | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 03:36 pm     Buttercup is right, tho.. it is just automatic that this would be a joke.. so automatic that most don't see the underlying homophobia. Just built in. And often not meant at all.. |
Seamonkey | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 03:38 pm     AND yes.. not often seen on TVCH.. so no offense taken. |
Neko | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 03:53 pm     I have gay friends. I'm not a homophobic person.. I'm just a giggler |
Tabbyking | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 04:58 pm     neko, here is a giggle for you: "trying to raise a teenager is like trying to nail jello to a tree." |
Neko | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 08:03 pm     . . . *Giggle* Must be a fustrating and hard thing to do... |
Seamonkey | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 08:09 pm     Neko.. I'm sure you aren't homophobic.. but still think how it would be if your lifestyle (or even the appearance of it) was routinely referred to with giggles, innuendo and of course in many cases, actual hostility. Hmm The book "nailing Jello to a wall" was about trying to design computer systems and get users to actually reveal what they really want.. but I'd say teenagers rank right up there! The funny thing about this thread is it makes me hum "Sleepin' Single in a Double Bed".. just the opposite of the thread. Now I will admit that when on Survivor, Kathy and Rob were sleeping in the two pushed together beds and she took off her shorts.. I turned pale. |
Tabbyking | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 09:00 pm     When I read the posts it didn't come across as anyone giggling about other peoples' 'lifestyles'. Personally, I thought it was cute to see 2 grown guys having a 'slumber party' like 10-year-old kids, and I think others thought so, too. I am not sure where reading anything else into it came into play. There is no reason I can see to read into things. It was amusing to me, plain and simple. I never heard of the book 'Nailing Jello to a Wall', but I did read the teenager comparison about 'jello to a tree' in Reader's Digest a few years back and it sure fits sometimes. |
Tabbyking | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 09:03 pm     Seamonkey, I wondered about Kathy and Rob, too, and then I considered the case of beer they had shared and hoped they wouldn't do something stupid just because they had been drinking. Fortunately, they didn't. I would have been up all night in the ladie's room getting rid of the beer, though! |
Seamonkey | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 09:49 pm     Oh me too!! Beer is just the thing to keep one running to the potty... That book I mentioned was written in the early early days of computers. I did just read the current book "Queen Bees and Wannabes" .. scary proposition growing up and a wonder most of us ever survived it. I DO wonder how the Darwin/Al alliance will go.. I suspect each plans to mislead the other bigtime. |
Tabbyking | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 10:17 pm     at this point, i would guess alliances are all made with handshakes and crossed fingers behind the back. (i know it sounds physically impossible, but you can bet that is essentially what they are doing!) i would be making alliances right and left and hoping i could remember who i had what agreement with! it would be great if they had to return the journals to the original writer or pass them around again. |
Sunshinemiss | Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 11:50 pm     I just rewatched the episode, and for the record it does look like two twins pushed together, but they are definitely sharing covers. Nice eye candy, and a relief to see the LACK of self-consciousness that a lot of men seem to feel (I always think of the line "thou protesteth too much") although that may have been an editing thing. |
Mygetaway | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 02:45 pm     Tabby, We have 4 teens in our house, and I think "trying to raise a teenager is like trying to nail jello to a tree." is a great visual for what it's like for us sometimes..{LOL!!} |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, June 25, 2002 - 09:01 am     neko, im sharing in your giggle. i just thought it was funny seeing them in the same bed especially when the women were in seperate beds, but no underlying phobias, just thought it was funny. hope i didn't offend anyone.  |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, June 25, 2002 - 09:03 am     da*n, the computer natzies at work stole all my pics, so disregard the image block. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, June 25, 2002 - 10:34 pm     So tonight they EACH got a room with two beds Squared.. do you want some pics?? I could send them to you, or will the Nazis just take them again?? |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 11:17 am     thanks sea, but i keep putting them back on and they keep takin them off. i have them at home and i can just keep taking them from my member folder also. thanks anyway. i sent my joker to myself at work so i could use it 2day. |
