This forum is too "Click" ish

[Sir Toose]

Just thought you would like to know the opinion of an "outsider". I have posted here now for many months but have not been able to find my way into the circle. Maybe it's an age gap thing I don't know. I post all of the time and I'm ignored all of the time. Anyways, I give up.

Later

[Yoda]

I'm not doubting you, but could you point me to a couple of instances? If this problem does indeed exist, I'd like to try and correct it. I think it's spelled "clique" anyway, and I agree that it shouldn't be like that, if it is.

[spudracer]

Sorry Toose...I try to have a converation with everyone on here if possible.

[OG-]

Sorry, didn't really realize that. But hey I get ignored sometimes too!!!:(

[PigsnieLite]

What is the circle? And I dont thimk were clickish. Anyone can talk to me, Im a nice boy. And I was just ignored the other day too so whats new?

[spudracer]

We are just jealous of your good looks PLite...LOL...not really..I thought I would give you a reason though..

[PigsnieLite]

LOLL, evryones jealous except maybe for Broodyman who seems much more cleaner than I am. Anyhoo Toose, I wish you come back altho I know youre still here becuz I see your name down there on the users list on the bottom of the page! :laugh:

[sadesdrk]

I always feel talked over unless someone's argueing with me.Maybe you should start being argumenitive and disgrunteled.Or you could pick on everyone's spelling and grammer.Or you could be obnoxious.lol...I'm kidding of course.I don't know what the reason is,some of these guys have been posting with each other for a long time...give it time.It's still fun,I love it and I'm only a meager 'critic':D

[Sir Toose]

Thanks guys.
I'm feeling very pissed off at everything right now... I'm probably being oversensitive.

Haha, I tell everybody thats & nobody beleives me! Anyhoo, go on Badger, I am there most days lurkin around when Im not eatin or followin Pigsnie around the house . :)

[spudracer]

Plite you would need more topics to talk about if basically all you're talking about is yourself. And how can you go out and do things over there when your head is too big to fit out a doorway. Or is big brother nice enough to grease the doors for you. :p Just kiddin...

[thmilin]

i think what tends to happen is there are so many people and so many multiple linse of conversation going on in one thread that people will come and answer what stands out most to them and that may not include some people's posts. there was a time when I would respond to each and every post but the larger the forum gets and the more posts even 1 person makes, that gets to be difficult. so some posts don't get all the attention they might, or even any at all; which can indeed make people feel like they're talking and just not being listened to.

in your case Toose, sometimes you come in and say perfectly valid things to which I nod and have no response. I'm like, yup yup ... and I could post that, but I guess I figure someone else will have some more thorough response and I don't. Then someone else comes along and writes 2 paragraphs on something has nothing to do with your post and people come in and reply to that, if it was provocative, and your post, or others like yours from people, gets no love.

but that don't mean we don't love you. sometimes i post and nobody gives a d@mn what i've got to say. it comes with the territory. i dont' feel hurt. i come in, say what i've got to say, and it's cool if you get feedback and get some dialogue going, and cool if not. :-D

i don't think you've been here for "months" though, have you? i could have sworn your arrival post was within the last couple weeks. in which case you definitely need more time to establish your "persona" cause I don't think it's age, I think we just don't know where you want to go and how you want to play it. sometimes your posts sound more like serious announcements and like i said, i think no one has any beef with what you say so they don't say anything. :)

[PigsnieLite]

I think Spuds just insulted me, soo I wont speak to him anymore, Im a very sensitive bloke! :bawl:

Thmilin is right, toose. Sometimes I dont understand what she & TWT are gabbin about especially when its a deep philosofical question so I just talk about my underpants. And then when no one wants to talk about my underpants I just go on & talk about somethin else, like Pigsnies extra nipple@! If I dont say much to Thmilin, it doesnt mean I dont love her -- its just that sometimes I wish for the good old days when we were talkin about her frilly knickers, hahaha!!! :)

PS. Glad youre postin more, Thmilin, how are you? I hope you are seein fewer men this month.

[Yoda]

Wouldn't you want her to see more men? If she sees every man in the world, she'll eventually have to give you a try, PLite. :D And yes, your underwear-related diatribes are always amusing, if not incredibly odd.

[PigsnieLite]

YES you are absolutely right TWT! Im so stupid, dont listen to me, Thmilin! You have to see lots & lots of men (like 100 a month) becuz eventually you will come to your senses & realize that it was really PLite all along who is the man for you! Great idea TWT!! :laugh:

[thmilin]

hyah right!

i'm posting cuz of the momentous occasion and I come to these soothing charcoal and grey boards for love and support. also, there's very little to do at work today.

i have narrowed the beaus down to 1 likely guy and 1 maybe in the future but not likely. so that's that.

I said I was just kidding when I said that PLite. I was just wondering if your head could fit out of doors as much as you talk about yourself.

Indeed! Thanks all! I shall stay.

Great, glad to hear it. It would be a sad day if we lost a poster due to a problem with other posters.

I never had a problem with anyone... I was particularly moody that day and I was feeling excluded. Perfectly normal... sometimes you hit a nerve sometimes you don't.

[sadesdrk]

Apparently,PLite is going to ignore my "anyhoo" refrence...his loss,now we all know denial makes you guilty:D

[PigsnieLite]

Well Ive been usin anyhoo since I was 12 so I dont really know what you mean Sades. I also use anyhow anyday anyone anything anyme (like in the sentence if you are constipated youll need an anyme, hahaha!) :laugh:

[sadesdrk]

Okay.Well,I'll believe you.Being as how you live way far away and all...I just thought it was interesting...everytime I say it,people are like,"wha-...huh...? What's 'anyhoo'?"

[Steve]

What clique am I in?

[Yoda]

The "condescending film student who's too good for Gladiator" clique. :D I'm in the "Republican without compassion who loves movies with boobs and exploding heads" clique. That's an old joke my dad used to make. :) If it has boobs and/or exploding heads, it's worth seeing. We've got a bunch of "movie rules" for things like that. Funny stuff.

What?!? Bah! Humbug! :laugh: I LOVE movies with exploding heads and boobs. Preferably both. How about movies with topless women whose heads explode? Those are THE BEST. :D
Gladiator, unfortunately, still sucks. Boring and silly and pretentious. Why does everyone say Gladiator is so great? I think it's because it presents itself as great. Movies like You Can Count On Me aren't recognized for their greatness because they don't have a superior feel to them. It's the same reason people like the Sound of Music and West Side Story and Braveheart so much. Just because it feels great doesn't mean it is.

[Yoda]

See, that's the thing: I don't think it's SO great. I think it's a really good movie. It did not deserve Best Picture, but it was GOOD, fairly clever at times, and the whole thing was very grand -- because Rome was grand. It captured that very well.

[/B]Sound of Music okay...I don't like...West Side Story...uh-huh...Braveheart!!!!!? What were you smoking when you lumped that in with those? It's not a lame little musical! It was great and it only made me feel good at the end.It took me two times to actually sit through the whole thing because I kept leaving during the torture scene.C'mon...take it back!

[PigsnieLite]

Whats wrong with West side Story? All tha songs are unforgittable. Maria, I just met a girl named maria & suddenly taht name will nevah be the same to meeeeee ... :yawn: [Plite sings in the bath]

[sadesdrk]

Well..I don't hate 'em but the musicals...they're a little campy.Not so much West Side Story,but Seven Brides fo Seven Brothers and Sound of Music...I do like Meet Me in St.Loius with good 'ol Judy Garland..."Clang,clang,clang went the trolly..." :)I sing in the shower...

[Snoozy]

Sometimes this can be a good sign, that people really are speaking their minds! But I hear your frustration.

[patti]

i'm glad to have just read through this thread....sometimes i feel like i shut down threads...they just stop growing after one of my comments....i think(know) my libido pushes it's way into too many of my posts. i love this forum and i really don't want to be an annoying poster....i have so much fun adding little flirty elements, but i'd like to put the question out there......(fearing the response), do i bug anyone? :eek: :( :p

[Yoda]

You only bug me a tiny, tiny bit. You flirt a tad, but, for some odd reason, even though that kind of stuff usually gets all over my nerves, it hasn't concerning you. I can honestly, genuinely say that you don't bug me more than the tiniest bit (and EVERYONE bugs me a tiny bit for some reason or another).

I assure you, it's either me, T , or spud...you arn't the last post very often hon. I love you. I think you are hilareous, and I would miss you if you left. I'm sure you've noticed the lack of females around here, of couse it's fun to have a few of those sexual innuendos....you, me and thmmie( sometimes bohdigrrl & jozie) own the market on the femmine influence, if all of us left...the guys would only have each other;D How fun would that be? Who would Holden say sexy things to? Who would spud jump on every chance he gets? Who would T argue homosexuallity with? get me patti? They need us, or this place would be a locker room.:D

[Yoda]

Excellent point. :) If all the women left, things would be too akward amongst the guys to talk about homosexuality anymore. :D We sure as heck wouldn't talk about how good looking Brad Pitt/Hugh Jackman is! We'd just sit around talking about football and women, afraid that we'd be construed as less than masculine.

We need that balance!

[patti]

good to hear, and thanks sades, commish...:) :cool:

[spudracer]

Plus, not only due the females make things balance out, they bring logical debates to the table. I usually don't contribute because half the time i'm so confused on what you guys are talking about. :D Overall, females are needed here just like they are needed in the real world. :)

[sadesdrk]

That's right. How great of you to come to that realization spud, what would you all do without us? I have an idea, but it isn't pleasent.;D Likewise, what would we all do without you? I would probably make a man....hmmmmm..yes.:idea:

[patti]

......out of a........???? dare i say zucchini?:D :D :idea: :cool:

[spudracer]

I once heard a story of a girl who found fun with a frozen hot dog...she was drunk or high to say the least...anyways...hot dog started to thaw and...well half of it was recoverable...her dad was a doctor so guess who got to assist in retrieving the lost end of the hot dog. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but the girl lives in the town I do...isn't very bright...and I can imagine this happening to her...

[patti]

hot diggety dog........yeegads

we already know there are things in hot dogs no-one wants to eat like pig lips and such....yeee but now, just in case anyone needs that final little push away from hotdogs, spudracer has a story for you.....:p

[spudracer]

:laugh:

True story or not, whenever I see this girl in public, a little chuckle comes over me.

[sadesdrk]

a hot dog? Where's the fun in that? Seems kinda thin to me. I'm thinkin' more like a...pff...nevermind. This conversation is going to piss T off. We should PM this stuff.;D

[patti]

i was browsing some old threads and this last conversation has compelled me to start a new thread- i shal go do that now, ......in the misc. chat area.....the Darwin Awards.:D

[The Silver Bullet]

Meanwhile, back to the comments about West Side Story. Hello? That was a great film, and not because it oozed greatness. I had never even heard of it when I saw it, but I liked it. For me, "Tonight" was already a great song, and then what do I know?

In 1999, Mr. Crystal immortalised it forever with his pre-ceremony opening video for the Oscars. This was the video which did everything, ET, The French Connection, American Beauty ["This is your shower?!"], The Exorcist, The Graduate, and of course, West Side Story.

"Tonight, tonight, there'll be no dance tonight,
And yet this show will still run too looooong!!"

But back to my original outburst [;)]:

What's not to love about West Side Story?

[Tenchi]

Not a beef, really, but I found it funny the way they turned what was clearly a rape attempt into some kind of wierd dance number.:confused:

[The Silver Bullet]

Well, of course that's WEIRD, but still.

:D
