Message Board Celebrity Of The Day (Part II) - Shameless- Page 70

First, let me start by once again thanking KelRel for this honor - and it IS an honor. One that humbled me but delighted me as well. I've so many connections on this board, many of whom have become dear friends in 'real life'. What a small world the internet has created! The next recipient of the MBCotD title will reign throughout the weekend, so it had to be someone very special. I think it is.

I thought long and hard about who to name as my successor. I decided early on to keep the tradition of naming a poster who is not someone I 'know' on the board, but someone I admire and would like to 'know' better. The same name kept recurring. From the time I first discovered this board this person's posts have caught my eye. This person usually says what I'm thinking, only the thoughts are expressed with a lot more clarity and eloquence than I could muster. I admire this person's sensibilities and the straight, no BS approach to life and opinions on the board. The pithy, clever and yet succinct retorts give new meaning to the term 'quick-witted'. The stiletto goes in before others are even aware of its presence. I read and I think, "Oh, she's good. She's very good." Given what little I know about this person she remains a delightful, tantalizing mystery. And yet she constantly resonates with me. I knew she needed to be recognized.

My one hesitation is that she is a very private person and I did not want her to wince in the glare of the spotlight. But the members of the board have been quite respectful of MBCotDs' privacy and boundaries and this is not the Broadway Inquisition! Confident then that she will understand my desire is to honor her, not roast her, I hereby name as MBCotD for the weekend.......

oops, hold on - the phone is ringing.........

OK, I'm back. Where were we? Oh yes, mystery, verbal stiletto, quick wit...I remember now.


I'm holding my breath, hoping this is ok. I just feel good about it.

oh, god. You had to go and pick her, right?
she keeps pestering me for a dang video I've already sent to her three times!
God, Etoile. Seriously. Get a grip.
On your tiara, that is.

I was sure that she was your choice from your intro Moonie!

Etolie congrats! Hopefully you will grace us with some measure of participation. I promise I won't ask your SS#.

Brava!

Excellent, Moony!

Congratulations to etoile!

The voice of reason on a message board which frequently gets a little crazy. I LOVE her posts and the OT board wouldn't be the same without her!

Enjoy your WEEKEND!

Congrats etoile!

Now, this should be interesting.

Edit: Not to imply that it hasn't been intesting up to this point. Oh, you know what I mean.

As I read along with your description, I KNEW it was her - and I couldn't be more pleased. Honest, forthright, wise and truly intelligent - one of the few here who actually can cause you to THINK about what you feel.

BRAVA!

Congratulations, etoile! Unfortunately I have to run off to work right now but I'm very pleased that we have a whole weekend to get to know you a little better. (Or - if you prefer - to just hear the praise coming your way from those here who admire you so much!)

Have a wonderful day!

Boobs would not want you to miss starting your reign without the requisite accessory.

Congrats to etoile! A weekend of celebration!

Hehe - I forgot about that 'pariah table' group.

Etoile's sig quote from 1776 always cracked me up - "I am obnoxious and unliked, Sir, you know that."

She's only unliked and considered obnoxious by those afraid or unable to hear the truth.

Congratulations, Etoile! I've enjoyed reading your posts for quite some time now. You seem to a wise one and a voice of reason here at BWW. Enjoy your day!

You know, etoile and I didn't get along at all at first. Then, through the unlikeliest of people, an alliance was formed. And now I think she's a riot.

[Craig]

Etoile. Always the voice or reason and sanity to much chagrin of others. Congratulations!

And she was even featured in Marc Shaiman's "Pick-a-little" video for Standing Ovations!

I for one love the people of the snake pit. They're a sharp crew.
