You're Invited to a Cyber-Cocktail Party to Welcome Reginald Tresilian

[PalJoey]

Posted: 7/23/08 at 11:40pm

Thursday, 4:00. No RSVP necessary.

Just stop by this thread, bring your own concoction, and say hello to Reginald Tresilian, a dear old friend who has joined our little cyber sewing circle.

We're old friends, and I mean OLD. He's the Mary to my Rhoda, the Vera to my Mame, the Melanie to my Scarlett and the Ftataeeta to my Cleopatra.



He's already made some nice friends here on the Off Topic Board and some enemies on the Main Board...he can't be all bad.

So stop by, ply us with cyber-cocktails and maybe you can get him to tell you all my secrets. (Well, the ones he KNOWS, at any rate.)

This is 4pm, Eastern Daylight Time, I take it?

[PalJoey]

Posted: 7/23/08 at 11:46pm

Yes, 4 PM Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

I would say the time in Greenwich Mean Time, because Reginald likes to quote an East Indian radio announcer who pronounced it "Greenwich Meantime," but that would just confuse matters, wouldn't it?

Would it?

Why waste our time with someone who can only get supporting, female roles?

Reggie, Sending my regrets. I will be on a US Airways jet tomorrow when your party is taking place. But let me leave you with this little lyric from Cole Porter, who seems so appropriate to you.

Some get a kick in a plane
Flying too high with my head in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick out of you!

[Mamie]

You're most welcome, Reggie. This joint can always use an additional infusion of class.

I'll be on my regular homeward commute when the party kicks off so I wanted to add my greetings now!

PJ, I'm a little disappointed. With Reg's avatar, why no "he's the Pickering to my Higgins" reference?

[PalJoey]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 8:08am

He's more the Higgins type. I'd be Cathleen Nesbitt.

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 8:18am

Thanks, all--particularly, of course, Pal Joey.

As to my roles, I'd happily be Coral Browne, and as the transplanted small-town boy, Mary is the obivous choice. I don't even mind being Flora Robson on occasion.

But if you think you're taking two Vivien Leigh roles away, PJ, you're out of what we've laughingly called your mind all these years.

Dear friends, I am, in fact, the Scarlett to Pal Joey's Belle Watling.

[Roscoe]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 8:53am

Ah, Reginald, as ever the sole voice of reason and class.

[madbrian]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 8:54am

Whatever happened to class?

[PalJoey]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 9:32am

Ona Munson is hawt.

I am Stella to Reginald's Blanche.

[madbrian]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 9:36am

Effie to his Deena?

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 9:56am

"I am Stella to Reginald's Blanche."

More like Baby Jane to my Blanche.

[madbrian]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 10:03am

Eve to his Margo?
Roxy to his Velma?

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 10:08am

Scully to your Mulder?

Welcome, Mr. Tresilan! Any friend of PalJoey's is a friend....erm....well, it's complicated. Welcome anyway!

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 10:13am

No one knows that better than I.

PJ has friends?!

*buzz*

Thank you for playing anyway.

SOCK PUPPET!!!!

[PalJoey]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 10:21am

Someone will have to tell Reginald about my crusade to rid BWW of sock puppets...but not in thsi thread!

For the record, Reginald and I are indeed old friends. I think we might have been friends before Al Gore invented the Internet.

"Oh, that was many years ago. I doubt if anyone would know."

Before "Legally Blonde" even!

Yin to his yang?

[DG]

Is there a story behind the screen name? I googled, and came up with threads from this site

I was expecting to find a character name from something that isn't ringing a bell.

In any event, welcome.

I'll try not to bother you as much as PJ.

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 10:34am

Ah, DG, you would pluck out the heart of my mystery!
