The following is an IM conversation. The screen name has been removed in an attempt to protect the innocent, even though they don't deserve it:

You sound a tad extreme there. Like a vegan screaming VEGAN VEGAN NOT VEGETARIAN!

I know, I'm crazy...oh well...

hey I don't blame you, that's something that irks me to no end. There is a difference between Cast Recording and Soundtrack..and I don't mind people saying CD, that's fine...I just hate when people use Soundtrack and Cast Recording as if they are interchangable...

*sighs*

I understand the difference, but I dont really get pissed off when someone calls it a soundtrack.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 7/23/04 at 12:00am

That's one of my pet peeves. I hate it.

[Sumofallthings]

Posted: 7/23/04 at 12:01am

Well I figure I know what they mean. If they were a theatre afficiando then I might correct them but other than that they just don't know any better and the way you informed them was kind of hissy.

[BWayBoy88]

I agree with Sum. I probably call things the wrong name if I'm not interested in it.

[Broadwaybaby614]

Posted: 7/23/04 at 1:37am

That's the thing, though...this girl told her boyfriend (one of my BEST friends) that he should stop hanging out with me because I wasn't as big of a Broadway fan as she was...WTF?

Just WAIT until she finds out the only reason he's interested in Broadway is cuz he's gay...

If it was one of my friends who isn't interested, I would kindly correct. But this girl claims to know everything. So she deserved it.

[BWayBoy88]

In that case she should be yelled at a lot. If a Broadway fan calls it a soundtrack then they are not a true fan.

[Delphine]

Posted: 7/23/04 at 2:36am

Random question, but is her boyfirend really gay?

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 7/23/04 at 8:27am

Pet peeve of mine too...correct my friends once and they usually remember the difference *puts knife away*.

I always laughed back in high school when kids talked about going to "play practice".

Is that anything like "football rehearsal"?

Bummer! This is not at ALL what I thought a thread with the word 'Anal' would be about...

[Zola Q. LaPlaya]

Posted: 7/23/04 at 9:59am

I just want to know why Jesus ate her muffin.

[Sumofallthings]

Posted: 7/23/04 at 11:05am

The wafers left a foul taste in his mouth.

[Zola Q. LaPlaya]

Posted: 7/23/04 at 11:27am

That's the body of Christ you're talking about, buddy.

[papalovesmambo]

Posted: 7/23/04 at 11:56am

ok, first of all, you should never correct your friends during anal, ok? just let it slide (so to speak) until the post coital cigarette and then casually broach the topic as you're giving them cab fare.

with regard to jesus and her muffin, jesus was under a lot of pressure that day as the uscis (formerly the bcis and before that the dreaded ins) had been poking around his jobsite, so he'd hooked up with some old friends and fell into a bad scene. by the time he ran into her, he'd been shooting speedballs most of the morning coupled with some really bad blotter. while it's not really a defense, he's still in the psych ward mumbling over and over again, "the power of christ compels you."

Oh, YAY!!! Papa's got something he wants to say...I was so worried that maybe he wouldn't show up...

Sorry to ruin your fun, but that screen name was the result of my friends and I staying awake for 36 hours fueled by nothing but pixie sticks and Red Bull. And those coffee-flavored Altoids. We were so out of it we started shouting out random phrases, so when my friend said "I made these really good pancakes, but Jesus came and ate them all. That bastard. JESUS ATE MY PANCAKES!!!", I said "Oh yeah, well, JESUS ATE MY MUFFIN!"

And there it is.

Anyway, back to topic. The "play practice" thing has always bothered me, too.

And, Delphine, yes, is is gay. Very, VERY gay.

the very fact that you felt the need to explain that says volumes, little rodent.

i am interested in the levels of gay-itude. can someone be just a little bit gay? what about just sorta gay? and how does one know that someone is "very very gay?" is there a t-shirt involved? please specify, little rodent, i breathlessly anticipate your next syllable.

{random side note: I know it's incorrect, but I can't help referring to my little brothers' athletic practice time as "golf rehearsals" and their try-outs as "basketball auditions". They always seem confused.}

For the basketball team at my school i said they were having auditions and everyone looked at me kind of strangely.

Haha, I call halftime at my soccer games intermission. Heh... Theatre talk always seems to seep into my speech.
