Happy 10th Anniversary BWW'ers!! — Page 7

"The young posters will never learn unless we pass our wisdom down."

What about the tedious old poster who knows full well all the Corine stories but is pretending it's "old home week" merely because he has returned? (One person returning and faking being gracious and magnanimous does not an Old Home Week make. Everybody else has been here all along!) I don't blame Dollypop one bit for not wanting to rehash the iguana story, it's been told and told again.

I know but it's one of those contextual things. If you've never known the posters in question it's just not the same.

There are other things to learn. For instance, VoiceAnth and I were name-checked (along with many others) in Marc Shaiman's "Pick-A-Little, Post-A-Little" video because of our ongoing early-days feud. That was a pleasure. But then VoiceAnth gave the first of his many Final Exit posts in which he came clean that he was faking all the arguments he picked with me, that he didn't get why people were so hung up on people telling the truth since it's just the internet and not real people so who gives a damn, but oh well whatever he was leaving goodbye farewell so long. For good.

Naturally he comes back, always with a new variation on his screen name because he just doesn't have the brain capacity to remember his old ones. He always knows far too much of what's been going on to qualify as a drive-by but it is ESSENTIAL he conveys the message that he couldn't care less about the interests of a lowly theater board because he's interested in opera and ballet. She had a little job in a little shop in an arts institution and she thinks this makes her a member of the Corps. But as Edina Monsoon said so brilliantly, "You only work in a shop, you know, you can lose the attitude." Oh, shoot, did I switch genders there? My apologies to actual women.

VoiceAnth is a tiny little man with a great big Napoleonic complex, at least on the internet. I was surprised he didn't turn up at a mutual friend's funeral, but it was understandable since he was so hyper-critical of that person's performance style. (Nothing is as good as the OP-ra and the BALlay, dontchya' know.)

Obviously he would love to be a part of the group here, but he painted himself into a corner and the reason I've bothered to explain all THIS, is so that people know that the "Oh, gee, I don't think I was even here for that! Isn't this fun with the old gang back together?!" is 100% bs from a pathological troll. But I'm sure he thinks nobody remembers.

Was he using a toadstool as a booster seat?

Thanks for clearing that up, Namo!

I tried using the link that Sammy posted, but since I didn't knew what I was looking for it really wasn't that enlightening.

I had no idea. Got it now.

---

Thank you my dear. I was totally feklempt ( spelling?) . I even bought the dvd of the event from BWW. It was a totally cool thing.

---

that's what I thought.

You never know Jane, it could happen one day. I got a chance to say hello to a number of people at a couple of sadly beautiful funerals that I will never forget. Luckily, I've met a few in other happier circumstances. It's such a small world you just never know!

---

But some people set a goal, like meeting people, and they make it happen! Sometimes I've just had to say, Okay, I'll take off my phantom mask.

---

That's fine, Namo. I'm not a people person myself so I totally understand.

Now back to the topic.

YWIW - I remember that thing with Corine's ankle. She was playing the role of the only person who ever had anything happen to her. Something about how was she going to get to some event and we were all giving her suggestions. wish I could remember the details.

I originally became a member of BWW in 2007 but I had trouble signing in, but the problem was eventually solved in 2009. It seems like it was only yesterday when I did my first post.

That sounds familiar.
