I need to re-read this whole mess under the influence of a stronger cup of coffee because out of that whole bizarre post I'm stuck on the fact that a Latino man goes by the name of Hogan.

This is my nomination for "Thread of the Week".

She's back! Why, she's like Hera with all her shape-shifting!

Or Sybil.

DG says;

"You know what, I DO have a problem with what I’ve experienced as the meanness and cruelty of the world in general. And what gets presented here only seems to illustrate that vividly. I GET that this person doesn’t quite fit what some consider ‘the norm’. But honestly, if she actually exists as someone ‘less capable’ in your eyes, WHAT is the benefit of CONSTANTLY berating her publicly? "



DG:
It all started many, many, many, threads ago.. when Corine posted she was a lesbian.. got a whole bunch of us involved in dialogue, edited her posts, and then accused us of making the whole thing up ( like if we really cared). And then all the issues with the Iguana.. She was writing in detail about being away on some beach and writing from there.. and having some Iguana that would play with her on the beach. All fine and dandy till some poster from this board was in a downtown drugstore in NY and ran into Corine.. minutes after she had posted she was on the beach in Mexico with her Iguana. This was about 4 years ago I think. The ridiculing started then.

Ah, the iguana. I think what's getting lost in all this is that today is D-Day. Corine, let us know how you're doing.

Yes.. the Infamous Iguana. Remember when we tried to name the Iguana?

You can probably find her at Bamboo 52.

CanWeTalkBroadway? is my favorite new poster--although he apparently has been a member since December 2004.

He's either lying about being 4.0 at Columbia--or the most illiterate 4.0 ever to graduate from the Ivy League.

Which is it, CanWeTalkBroadway? Are you a liar or just plain stoopit?

I just laughed for twenty minutes about the iguana.

Posted: 11/15/07 at 12:53pm

Damn! I totally missed the iguana episode!

[DAME]

Say what you want about the so called Iguana.. It was very entertaining.

[ShbrtAlley44]

Posted: 11/15/07 at 12:56pm

I missed it too, but oh man, I wish I'd been here for it.

I wish I had known there how to take a screen pic.

Thanks for taking the time to explain what occurred in the past regarding Corinne and this board. I had no idea.

That's only a toe dip in the ocean that is CoCo.

Color me clueless!!

I was about to that, SOMMS. Only one of the many stories in the big city.

[DAME]

Mix all the stories with the whole "It sucks to be me" and 5 year old phony innocence and you have most of what makes Corine the legendary poster that she is.

The Five Stages Knowing Corine
1. Sympathy coupled with the desire to defend and protect
2. The realization that she is neither slow nor an ingenue
3. Irritation at the endless self-promotion and narcissism
4. Occasional exhibitions of cutting humor in response to #3
5. Acceptance

DG may still be in Stage 1 or else is possibly the first and only person to have reached Stage 5.

DG should print that out and tape it to his liquor cabinet!

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 11/15/07 at 2:27pm

But liquor is exactly how I got to Stage 4.

I know it's not much, but Corine was nice enough to post this appetizing pic of "dessert sushi" on her blog. It's from that Bamboo place. So we all have something to look forward to in the future.
