"I take responsibility for what I write. I just feel it's a better investment of my time to respond to feedback from the people I am actually writing to or about, ie, not you."

Then why all the responses?

"So, at that I shall leave you, Nancy Niceties, to your mystical Island of Niceness where everything is beige, no assertions are ever challenged, and the only humor permitted is of the ultra-gentle cottony soft, Prairie Home Companion variety."

Another example of you hypocrosy. I challenged your assertions, did I not? I am a huge fan of sardonic wit and irreverent humor if it is solidly based with an intellectual foundation, not mere childish insults and name-calling.

"By the way, parody me all you want, just be clever."

Don't need to. You're doing an excellent job.

"And understand that nobody but you needs to take care of anybody but yourself."

Anytime I see people being mean for enjoyment, it upsets me and I will say something about it. You can choose whether or not to verbally thrash me for spoiling your fun. If I see it, I will probably say something. Not in the defense of the other posters, but for the preservation of kindness in modern society. Something I firmly believe in, acutely aware of the existence of those who have nothing positive or constructive to say.

Actually, the thing about Fender is true. When Mrs. Von Tussle asked a girl to remove her falsies, she also told Fender to do the same. He pulled a giant sock (quite visible throughout the entire Nicest Kids in Town number) out of his green plaid slacks.

I'm sorry, can somebody else actually verify that this was posted above? I keep rereading it but I can't believe anybody who doesn't host regular tea parties would actually write something like that.

Yes... that moment always CRACKS me up every time......



If you read the Hairspray timeline in THE ROOTS, in the 1980s.... Here is what it says::


"Fender and Sketch's public "ceremony of commitment" merks a new era for Boy Scout troop leaders, Corny Collins alums."

"...preservation of kindness in modern society."

Was this the result of an epiphany after hurling the playbill at a youngster sitting behind you?

"I'm sorry, can somebody else actually verify that this was posted above? I keep rereading it but I can't believe anybody who doesn't host regular tea parties would actually write something like that."

Never hosted a tea party in my life. Once again, you are cynical, hypocritical and wrong. I'm assuming you haven't noticed the decline of kindness in modern society over the past twenty years. More believebly, you seem to celebrate it.

Simply a bad effort, Namo. I don't expect you to believe it. You seem to exemplify the opposite of kindness. Had I done something for the destruction of the human spirit, then maybe I would have hit closer to your heart-like area.

Didn't you have your last word on the subject several posts ago? If I'm so lame, why do waste so much time and energy replying to my posts? Sorry, but my disposition is not about to change as I assume yours won't as well. You forget one of the simple concepts of the universe. Everything has an opposite. So why are you so surprised by my attitude? For every mailicious post like yours, there is something that resembles mine.

Happy Holidays Namo. Or Miserable Angry Holidays if that is what you prefer. Either way, I hope you get what you want, whatever that my be (with the exception of my disappearence, won't happen).

etoile - That episode was about 10 years ago before attitudes like Namo's were trendy. I employed the use of nonviolent tactics several times, but as Namo has made abundantly clear, sometimes people consciously refuse to consider another's feelings.

"If I'm so lame," [and you are, however I tend not to use the ableist word "lame" as a put-down, HOW UNKIND!], "why do waste so much time and energy replying to my posts?"

The key there was that I was asking someone else to verify what you wrote. You probably are, in fact, the opposite of me, Matt. But it's not a nice/mean dichotomy. It's a real/phoney baloney dichotomy. And you sir, are a phoney baloney. Real people talk about other things that people write, ESPECIALLY in off-topic boards. This one was created so as not to disturb the ever so delicate sensibilities of mainstream theater lovers like yourself. And things were going along fine until you decided to step in and give a widdle wecture about tones YOU don't want to see in the message board. Well, tough.

This is where I came in.

All I want for christmas is an Elaine Stritch doll with a Bobble head and when you pull the string it says "i'll drink to that"

[Phantom2]

Posted: 12/24/03 at 10:26pm

I think Elaine Stritch is cool. She just has too much to say and too little time to say it in. My exit music please!
