It's a deal. I'll go work on the drunken Welsh accent now, and I'm not THAT fat. Can we make it a young, slightly chunky Richard Burton? Can you pull off a young, sober, not-yet-clinically-insane Elizabeth Taylor?


I think so.
Virginia Wolf, anyone?

That'll do.

Dang. Speaking of depressing. I just did a Google image search. She was so stunningly beautiful - then so crazy and decrepit. How sad is that? Her life just turned into a complete disaster.

I find today's bunch all too pretty for my tastes. I do like Clooney, but I'm more of a Pacino/DeNiro kinda girl, or Antonia Banderas/Armand Assante, or go back even to Sean Connery/Richard Burton types. And show me an old Tyrone Power Movie and I wilt

Andy Garcia *bites knuckles* grrrrrrr YUMMY! :D

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

you really don't need to get panicky unless they pull out a whip.... or pie.

Unbelieveable!! I look just like Trent Reznor. Did I tell you I'm a musician?

Actually, I don't look like Wentworth Miller or George Eads. I look like a cross between the two - George Wendt.

NORM!!

OK, this joke is worn out. I'm sorry. It's Friday and my weekend has "suck" written all over it. I'll try harder next week.

Ann - check your PMs

I always liked George Wendt. Saw him recently in a play - 12 Angry Men. Also saw him in a play in London - Art.

Oh - the suck thing: just spent the last hour pounding on my computer as I stood around SL without any attachments, a grey head and burning red eyes.

She said she didn't mean you, Bradley.


Yeah, it was pretty obvious to me after the fact. I don't know how I could have missed it other than having virtually no sleep. I wasn't trying to sound as snide as I did when I commented.

From: Trout Recreant
I feel really bad that people felt excluded........... Do you have any suggestions as to what we could do or what we should have done differently?


I did not mean for it to sound as big a deal as I must have come across. As I said, I have a great time here and feel the love. I was just trying to be sympathetic to those who felt excluded and brought up the one time that I was taken aback. I think you and everyone involved did an excellent job. It's amazing how organized and quickly things happened.

Ava brought up that things done by committee can be disasterous. I wasn't implying the group should have a vote in every decision. We'd still be debating in this thread. I just think it's best in a situation like this if the representation is done by a democratic process. Not because anything was done improperly, it just makes people feel more involved.

That being said, it seems everyone else has moved on and I think that's great. I'm ready to join. I'm sorry if anyone felt that I was making any accusations. That was not my intent at all.

Yes, I noticed all the talk was about Trout. I am my favorite subject so I had to try and change that.

Well, if you ever came by, I'd take some snaps of your favorite to discuss item and then post pictures of it up here on SL for Trout to rate. Or run screaming from. I'm not sure which he would do.

well, im not really wanting to go into details, but i have never been in favour of an entire committee holding the project hamstrung, and that is NOT what i was on about. what i speak of is relating specifically to the officers role and how they functioned/communicated amongst eachother.

:( I worked my ass off for days and days on that thing. So did lot of other people. It's a major bummer to hear stuff like your previous statements. No one is running around lording anything over anyone. It really hurts when all that work is puffed up to look like we just took over and bossed people around. If people really feel that way I guess I'll not hangout there anymore.

In the words of the immortal Michael Winner..."calm down, dear."

People actually don't feel that way, I think, Oryx, despite how words might come across on the page

Believe me, I'm calm. :)

I'm just sick of all the after-the-fact bitching. Can we all just drop it? The damn hangout is FINISHED, FFS.

/me hugs Oryx, slaps Bradley on his cutest part, and plumps up the pillows on the big lazy chair at the Hangout for Nina.

If we weren't all opinionated we wouldn't be here. But I love the Hangout and the people who made it.

this is a prime example of what i was on about. one person (trout) asks for this sort of information, then another person (onyx) basically tells us to stfu.
the entire time the hangout was being created one hand never knew what the other was doing, and it was very frustrating.

It'd help if you could be bothered to spell my name right for once. I'm not telling anyone to STFU. I'm just tired of the complaining.

*shrug* Whatever. Complain away. Knock yourself out.

It may have been a bummer to hear but it was pertinent to the conversation. I still believe my comments were valid. If you go back and read carefully, I believe you will find I wasn't slamming on anyone. I never said anyone was bossing anyone around. If I was as pissy as you are making it sound, I would never had donated tier.

I have repeatedly thanked you all for the hard work done as well as commenting on how impressive it was handled so quickly. Go back and read it subjectively and you will see there was no malice intended in my comments. Or don't read it and move on, but I refuse to be painted as pointing fingers or being ungrateful for making a criticism.

You know, we'd all be having a lot more fun without finger pointing, bitching, whining and generally acting like people did back in the old General forum. There are enough f***tards around that we don't need to be making enemies of each other :)
