Okay, Giblets, for the last time, I never said anything about Juliana being anything other than exactly how she presents herself. Ever. I know how anybody and everybody who has ever said anything perceived as negative about her is lumped under the group name "Namo" in some people's imagination, and in the imaginations of some people's fans, but that ain't the case.
Two, Jayn, I DID read Atlas Shrugged, I was commenting on how you were saying Rand's philosophy and the story of the novel were good, but you had started the discussion by saying you hadn't actually read it.
Robbie, your stories make me scream with laughter.
Well if you liked that one, try this one on for size.
Picture it. A steam room at a popular NYC gym. I'm in there alone, because it's 'good for the chords and the complexion'. In walks a handsome man. Bald, except for that ring around the sides. Mr. Man seems in the mood for a show. What am I if not a consummate performer who gives his fans what they want. So, curtain up, light the lights, gang way world get offa my runway.
At the end of the performance (standing ovation of course) I introduce myself and he introduces himself as 'Richard'. He leaves, a happy patron of the arts.
I go to my locker to get dressed and there next to me is another handsome man with a this luxurious head of hair. He starts talking and flirting and, I tell you, I was DIZZY. Who knew I was such a popular boy?? Anyway, we chat a bit and as he leaves, I ask his name. He gives me a pained look and says 'Richard'.
It was at that point that it dawned on me. It was the same guy from the steam room...only with a big ole toupe.
aaaaaaaaand scene.
"I'm so looking forward to a time when all the Reagan Democrats are dead."
And how is this ontopic, you say. Well...friends have been encouraging me to put together an evening of my hilarious sexual misadventures. Cause, for some reason, there are a lot!!!
I was going to intersperse them with showtunes.
"I'm so looking forward to a time when all the Reagan Democrats are dead."
Robbie, that was high drama hilarity. My first husband's name was Richard. I have no doubt it was he. Did yours have a tiny penis as well?
Namo, would you send your copy of Ayn Rand to Miss Juliana Ashley Hansen? She could throw herself into its dialectic over her Cobb Salads -- as long as she is not interrupted by the creative team telling her how talented she is.
I find the topic of anonymous, well casual, drug- and exercise-induced homosexual acts in steamrooms and toilets quite appropriate on a thread about Miss Juliana Ashley Hansen's on-line journal.
Robbie, you've outdone yourself! EXCELLENT! Namo, I love you as always and for the person who insisted upon having people state HERE whether we like Zola or not (ahhh, a trip back to junior high), I'd like to publicly state that I, for one, enjoy Madame Zola a great deal.
I like Zola too! She's funny. I feel sorry that she was married to a teenyweeny peeny man. As my gay friends say, I bet she was the top in that relationship anyway.
I hope Juliana makes it to the Actors' Studio and Jimmy Lipton can ask her "what's your favorite curse?" Mine is c*nt. I bet hers is too.
Zola writes: "I am not attempting to rile anyone. I am simply pointing out that not everyone has to agree that her journal has any merit whatsoever."
And also "I find the topic of anonymous, well casual, drug- and exercise-induced homosexual acts in steamrooms and toilets quite appropriate on a thread about Miss Juliana Ashley Hansen's on-line journal."
Well.. it's good that you are above being immature, bitter and obnoxious as to not rile anyone up.
Perhaps you should take your masturbatory antics to your secret hidden website and take a trip past the marshmallow pit of candyland and discuss it there...
Intellectual and sometimes even catty discourse is one thing, but these posts have become downright offensive without any regard for the people who might happen upon these threads.
You want to disrespect someone that's your right - but I would think that all of you..and yeah.. especially Namo, because (dare I say this) he comes off the most "mature" and not catty - would at least care about respecting those who visit this site a little more.
You (in this case Namo) talk about Juliana contributing to the female stereotype of having to be thin, etc.. and harming today's female youth image in the process.. What do you think all this banter does for today's youth?
You once wrote to BK on a thread that HE is part of the problem if he is publishing her journal.
Guess what? You aren't any better...

Well I'm 30, talented and employed...AND A SLUT!!!
Oh...just kidding. Not a slut anymore now that I'm in a (choke) committed relationship.
Jenny...omigod...that's MY favorite curse word too! Let's see which of us gets to scream it at the top of our lungs first at that leather handbag known as Mr. Lipton.
"I'm so looking forward to a time when all the Reagan Democrats are dead."
Folks - please take your personal sexual histories, etc. to private messages... This is a Broadway message board, visited by folks of all ages, etc. etc. and these unrelated things are best discussed elsewhere. I'd prefer not to start having to remove inappropriate postings, so best if they don't come up to begin with.
Ronald, I never said she was perpetuating stereotypes. I said she was contributing to a harmful culture-wide message to young women, particularly would-be performers. I didn't say she invented it, I didn't say she was conscious of it. However, you WOULD THINK I said she went over the individual readers' houses and knocked carbohydrates out of their hands.
I think sex-positivity is a good thing, and that's not something I see as a problem at all, unlike most Americans. It would appear that people filled in a LOT of the blanks in robbie's post with their own feverish imaginations (go back and read it!), which is another thing I applaud. But the webmaster does not applaud it, and it's his ballfield.
You mean Jack, not Ronald.. but that's no matter...
You are right.. sexual positivity is a great thing... and forgive me for not going back and reading every single word you posted. The point was, that you made a point to illustrate (a few times) that anyone that wasn't part of the solution was part of the problem.
You, Michael are part of THIS problem.
My POINT, was that starting to mudsling explatives such as the C word is crossing the line. You can't have it both ways - preach the betterment of the world and then contribute to it's decay..
Well you can, of course - but THAT'S hypocrisy...

Jack, you're right, I did not mean Ronald. Ronald is my civil friend who thinks I am smart. You are the man who is using a pseudonym, an activity frowned upon by many. Speaking of which, good guess that my name is Michael (I've got a nickel, I've got a nickel, shiny and new). Care to guess if my last name has letters or just numbers like yours?
Well, that doesn't seem all that directly related to theater... it seems more like a foregone conclusion since you said it isn't a guess at all. So that would make it more like the great quiz show scandals of the fifties wherein people already knew the answers and pretended they did not. We'd hate to end up with an investigation of this site. And if you don't make the talk about theater I wouldn't be at all surprised if Rob gets kinda teed.
Oh wait, what happened? Was that all just a dream or did the space ship hiding behind Halle Bopp just call?
