I’m going to have to break this down bit by bit, because there’s just too much here.
We need volunteer actors to help us preform the play Repo Genetic Opera for our High schools Drama Club
It’s been a while since I was in high school, but I was under the impression that when your high school drama club was “preforming” a play … don’t the cast members typically come from the student body of the school?
No acting expiriences needed, no singing required, If you seen the movie you will understand that they sing opera, not to worry you do not need to sing. (Lip Singing Optional)
I’m pretty sure my lips are not optional in the singing process.
wanted Actors to play theses parts:
Rotti Largo(male) age 25-over /the older the better
Parvi Largo(Male)18-27
Luigi Largo(male)18-27
Nathan Wallace(male)age 25- over /the older the better
…
So … looking at the cast list for the play, it would appear as though you have maybe three or four female roles covered, and that’s it. Let me guess: you all wanted the role that Paris Hilton played in the movie, right?
Requirements: Before hand, you have to see the movie Repo Genetic Opera. ( also you have to understand the movie)
Understand the movie? It’s not like this is The Seventh Seal or something. And do I have to understand it from a plot point of view, or from a post-modern semi-ironic cultural commentary point of view?
have a passionate for acting, Lip singing will be done through out the play If you have an important character must memorize lip singing lines
must have a computer to access youtube and practice lines at home with the lyrics on the screen and the music playing on the back ground
Since when did Drama Club start doing the equivalent of the Rocky Horror Picture Show? I mean, I’m all for camp theater, but I guess I’m just an old fuddyduddy when I expect my high school drama clubs to actually put some effort into their productions of some utterly inoffensive play such as Arsenic and Old Lace or Oklahoma!
Dates; every wed at 11:30 am SHARP at the High School other dates required to preform at a time convinient for you
So, if you’re an old man (who apparently must be unemployed to be available at 11:30 on Wednesdays), come join our cast! The performances will occur at a time that’s convenient for you, not at some wacky pre-arranged time when everyone else (including, say, the audience) can be there.
Please email me for any intrests in any parts above: xxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com
I can’t tell you how much I’m hoping that “Drama Club” is a student-run organization at this high school.
Thanks, Litarider!
I thought I had words, but, after the Wiki link . . .
Off to breakfast and a the football game.
My thoughts exactly …. except soccer. My football team played Thursday night.
I don’t even like football, but I like breakfast. Can I still jump on this thought train?
I like breakfast too. We should form some sort of group or club.
Don’t hold it at my place. I just melted a spatula turning my omelet.
That must be one good omelet…
I read that as grope club…
*blinkblink*
Hammy, if you want to form a grope club, I’ll join.
Whoohoo
Well I was going to reply to kelli asking if one of the requirements for joining the breakfast club was the ability to put on lipstick with my shoulder knees, but Hammy’s club might make me put it on crooked.
Stinking Not.A.Lions . . .
I have a few questions of my own.
1) Were there no named women in the actual movie? 2 “hench girls?” “Young sexy females?”
2)Are they doing a play about “Repo Men,” where some guys go out and repossess people’s body parts? A kinda gory, plenty violent movie acted out in a high school play?
3) It’s lip *syncing,* right? I honestly don’t know if that’s how it’s spelled.
4) Adding to drmk’s comment about how the actors are supposed to come from the high school’s student body (something I hadn’t even thought of), wouldn’t students be more willing to see their girlfriends dancing…err…*well* than some people you found on the street?
5) Can I play the part of “Grave Robber?” Sounds like an interesting piece.
1. Appears the students took the only named roles for females.
2. I’ll get back to you on this one.
3. Yes, short for synchronizing your lip movement to the song.
4. Possibly this is an all-girls high school. Otherwise, I got nothing.
5. Yes! Just email xxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com and let her know you are available on Wednesdays.
No, I’m sure they meant lip singing rather than butt singing……..
Ok I’m having another “is it me” moment. IS IT ME…or doesn’t this have “To Catch a Predator” written all over it.
Was the email chrishansen@gmail.com??
Eh.
Uhh…can you just call yourself Janet, of the ever-expanding name? Oh, and how do cleaning supplies remind you of “To Catch a Predator?”
I just read your comment for yesterday. Have TCAP on the mind, much?
[OT] I just saw someone on T.V., a high school student, who plays…I’m not kidding…the oboe.[/OT]
I thought of YSAC when I heard “oboe.”
I’m an oboist, but I don’t play one on TV.*
*this is partially true
The ONLY explanation I can come up with is that perhaps it is a girl’s school. And even so, inviting the general public to come hang out with 14-18 year olds, in this post 9/11, “To Catch a Predator” world seems a bit foolish, doesn’t it?
Oh, what’s that you say, Uncle Creepy? It’s just sweet and nice of them to offer the role to those outside the school? Okay then. Oh, and what’s that? You want the part of the shirtless bodyguard? Hmmm, you may be too old for the part, but I’ll ask.
What’s that? ….No, I don’t think the part calls for you to spread wild honey across what we loosely call your “abs”. And please put down the glitter.
The part for “Grave Robber” says (18-over). I’m 18!
Would that be creepy at all? Just asking.
And by creepy I mean OTHER than the grave robbing part. Come on, everyone always wants to be the bad guy. The grave robber is the bad guy, right?
Um, actually he isn’t. He is sort of a plot device, actually. He moves the main character from scene to scene when she couldn’t possibly escape otherwise, and also tells a lot of the background via song…
OMG Meredith – I was thinking the same thing – but hadn’t made it to your post yet. TOTALLY has TCAP/Chris Hansen written alllllll over it. And it’s sticky too. And there’s a t-shirt near by…
I have a passionate for proper grammar and spelling.
I can haz passionate for cheeseburger? It haz a flavor……..
Has anyone actually seen the movie, Repo Genetic Opera? I better go do some research. Also I agree with Meredith.
I have. It makes about as much sense as Rocky Horror, so I’m not really sure anyone can truly “understand the movie”.
But, but…… “Rocky Horror” makes complete sense! You get to dress in drag, throw toilet paper and toast, and Meat Loaf dies….
What isn’t there to understand??
*Stumbles away, again, doing the ‘Mind Warp’.*
Psst, Gramps, it’s “Time Warp”, but I guess in your case… 😉
Damn Klingons got me all confused… Must be mind for my meds, if you don’t time.
Gramps, you forgot the best part. Meatloaf dies *and* gets eaten. *mumbles*everyone glosses over the cannibalism
“A very tender subject.”
Well, sure, Kelli – what else would you do with Meatloaf? Can’t very well spackle the bathroom wall…
I love Repo! The Genetic Opera. I own the movie and the soundtrack. I think I’ll stick to the professional version…
I’ve seen it.
There’s a guy whose job it is to harvests organs from people couldn’t pay for them. His wife is dead. He tries to keep his daughter inside the house all day and night, telling her she has some deadly illness, but she sneaks out. There’s a singer she admires. There’s an evil corporation run by an evil old guy, his two crazy sons and plastic-surgery-obsessed daughter. There’s also a singing grave robber. That’s about all I understood.
The father was played by the guy that played Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Ooooo, I love Giles. But, this doesn’t really sound like my type of movie.
I am so forwarding this to Terrance Zdunich. I’m sure he’ll LOVE to read how his “fans” are trying to slap together a glorified shadowcast performance of his baby. Seriously, I love that movie and this ad, undoubtedly placed by a trio of Shiloh Wallace/Blind Mag/Amber Sweet wannabe’s, makes me want to go all Geneco and repo their livers.
This is definitely not the first shadow-cast that has been performed of Repo the Genetic Opera, so I’m pretty sure he knows that’s going on.
I’m just more interested in the whole high school age kids running around in less clothing than naughty school girl outfits, shooting up drugs and singing about them, and cutting each other with scalpels. And that they may be doing this with ‘the older the better’ men. Yikes.
There are tons of shadowcast groups for R!TGO, however this ad doesn’t mention it being that type of performance. I’ve seen some of the shadowcasts, and they’re undoubtedly more stringent in their casting requirements than these folks – they do far more than just lip sync. Also, most of those groups are made up of fans/members of the Repo Army and have some support from the fan community.
I still want their livers. Or at least let me hit them up with lethal doses of Zydrate.
I think you’re missing the point here: these are high school kids. Of course they aren’t going to have stringent casting requirements! Unless they were going to steal the set up from some other shadow cast, I seriously doubt that they can even come up with much else for the actors to do but lip sync and dance around a bit.
I do get the inappropriateness of a h.s. Group performing this, but since they’re looking for actors who are all 18+ I can’t seen how this really COULD be by a h.s. drama club. Which is pretty much my point. I think we’re on the same page here, though: it’s probably not going to be an evening (or weekday midmorning) of family entertainment.
[Mom Corey] Since when do Hight School Drama department put on shows that are “Rated R for strong bloody violence and gore, language, some drug and sexual content”. Last I knew (Astro probably knows better) all of those will get you, at a minimum, into detention and probably suspended. [/Mom Corey]
Oh come oooooon! It says “Genetic” right in the title! It’s FOR SCIENCE!!!
Right, and zombie movies are for survival studies, or environmental science (chemical zombies, i.e. the ones in the Syfy movies on my T.V. right now).
I don’t like you.
Okaaaay. That’s your right.
You kids play nice now.
NMN, don’t take personally, Meredith just isn’t the same after being deep fried.
*** Likes NMN ***
I like you both. There really isn’t anyone here I don’t like.
You like me, even with all the video game references and links?
NMN, I am just a bit old to have been a real video game junkie, but I love Halo and Call of Duty and Doom and Dune and, oh, lots of games I have played. I love hearing about what’s new and current, because I am just too involved too many places to keep up myself. You provide a great service to me, seeing as how my son is going to be 18 in November, and he is a gamer. Since he moved out, I have to find some way to keep up! 8)
Hey NMN, I like you, too. And I’m too old to have been a video game junkie, too. Except that I am one. And now, I’m going to go try and figure out how to respec another one of my WoW ‘toons since they changed everything. Right after I rock my rose for a while.
Yeah, I don’t know how [WoW OT] Dks are going to function, with runes not resetting simultaneously. Class, server, faction? [/WoW OT]
[WoW OT]I only have two 80s, druid and hunter, but now that tree is a spell with a long CD, I totally have to relearn how to play. As for the rest, Runetotem/alliance.[/WoW OT]
*Sigh*
[More WoW OT] DK, pally I don’t use, had a warrior but account was hacked. Cenarius. All alliance. [/More WoW OT]
I like you NMN, and Meredith too. The only one on here who is a little sketchy is that “Grampdaddy” freak – he seems to be delusional. Or maybe it’s just that he’s old. Or weird. Or medicated.
From all the contact I’ve had with Gramps, he IS strange. Doesn’t play video games, knows nothing about any of them, although he has kids that do play many. Doesn’t watch television much at all, rarely see movies. Does read constantly – must be some kind of nutcase. Probably harmless…..
Oh yeah – does love YSaC… maybe not so harmless.
Do your reading interests include newspapers, or what I read on a weekly basis. See my new favorite series.
Hmmm…links are broken. Or I did it wrong. Can’t tell.
Considering my high school wouldn’t let us perform (or even preform) Rent, which at least deals with important social issues…yeah, I can’t figure out what high school would allow this.
Also, I can’t imagine a high school would hold rehearsals for a school-wide play at 11:30 am. It’s not like they’re going to allow anyone who wants to be in the play to just miss class every Wednesday from 11:30 to whenever the rehearsal is over, and I doubt every student in the school is signed up for drama hour at 11:30 on Wednesdays.
Gotta give Artsy an “AMEN!” here. The Tanklet graduated high school a few years ago, but considering you get suspended for having thoughts about violence or drugs these days, and they cancel the prom if you even threaten to go in drag, I gotta ask WTF?!?!?!!?
Why am I concerned that Sparky here is looking for unemployed people with low self esteem and, presumably, no connections in the community, and the “rehearsals” are going to take place in his basement? Where he just happens to have a deep pit, with a bucket on a string on which he will lower the lotion?
Duh – it’s probably in California. They let kids do anything there. Haven’t you SEEN 90210. They do more stuff than I do…and I’m like 33.
Artsy:
I have a story to share with you.
Tonight was the Homecoming Dance.
The Marching Band, of course, was away at the Fuquay-Varina Festival of Bands (we got second to Panther Creek by four tenths of a point, but the crowd liked us better). When we got back, the dance was ending, and, coming off the bus, we see two people in the dark on the steps. Some light reveals a rather amorous couple sucking face, and possibly doing some other stuff too.
Astro, I thought the marching band was an integral part of homecoming? Today was the university’s homecoming as well, I almost got caught up in their parade trying to get out of town.
Never thought I’d consider Michigan the bastion of wild-and-wooly high school plays, but…yeah. If you had some high-school drama director who wants desperately to be seen as cool and “antiestablishment” by their students and a school board that’s not familiar with content or still trying to regain THEIR cool factor after the whole “boy, those Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirts are inappropriate!” ruling, you can see them do things like this. Once, maybe twice, before somebody gets their head handed to them on a platter, but, yeah.
Though, to be honest…this sounds more like a bunch of kids who got bored with the idea of doing “Into the Woods” without the anatomically-enhanced wolf’s costume. Or a bunch of pervy old guys.
It would almost be worth going to a ‘preformance’ just to see how appalling it is.
Note that I said ‘almost’.
I only watch Syfy movies to laugh at them.
An hour ago:
“SWAT guys don’t have armored transports! Where the heck’s the military?!” “Shotguns and assault rifles are useless, where’s the bolt-action?” “They’re zombies, morons, shoot them in the head!” “Yeah, let’s all go down into the creepy basement!”
Trust me, if you see this movie, you will have a similar reaction. People shadow-cast RtGO because it really doesn’t make any sense. If you do watch it, keep this in mind: The entire movie takes place over the span of one day. That might not seem odd now, but when you watch it you’ll realize how impossible that is.
Oh, here’s another one.
“WTF! A sharktopus?! W T F Syfy?!”
Allright this one just happened:
“I’m looking for someone official to tell about these strange toxic waste containers.”
*knock knock*
“Hello?”
“This is Interpol. We blah blah blah….”
*Shuts door*
“I’m not telling Interpol anything.”
WTF
Bad high school plays are never worth it for the squirm factor. The parents are trying so hard to be thrilled for their kids that you just can’t bring yourself to be as snarky as some of these productions deserve (I say, having sat through the worst possible production of “Pride and Prejudice” four years ago, and not having been able to make myself reenter a high school auditorium since.)
*Rents a short bus and drives down to Home Depot*
You, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you.
Casting done!
I think most of the day laborers would rather spend hours and hours pouring cement in 105 degree weather for minimal pay then go dress up in crazy clothes and try to lip sync with high school kids for no pay…
Oh yeah, they said volunteer didn’t they?
No matter how far this is from what a normal high school drama class show, I think we can assume their budget doesn’t extend to playing their actors. Just the rights to show the movie are probably pretty expensive.
You have to get the rights to this thing? Naaahhh… Just pull out a tape recorder and your DVD! It’s a lot easier that way!
That was what I was going to say, BrainStew. Heck, $10 to install a new toilet in Sparky’s bathroom of biohazard wonders is probably a better deal than this.
Well, it is a school, and if the school doesn’t want to be sued they really have to buy the rights. To play a movie to more than a handful of people, you have to purchase the rights to the movie.
[getting away with it corey] Technically, yes, but they’d get a cease and desist letter before it ever got that far, if anyone bothered to go looking for them at all. I used to be part of a RHPS shadowcast and I know that the theater owner never paid royalties. Our copy was a 16mm that was found in the storage room when he bought the place. It ran from the late eighties until at least 2001 (the last performance I saw there, I think the theater was torn down at some point after I moved). [/corey]
Well, I know from being part of a yearly college production of RHPS that schools are very worried about litigation, and I’m sure a high school has less money and is more worried about that kind of thing. Plus, RHPS is much older, and is used by soooo many places, that I doubt anyone cares that much anymore. But this movie is still recent.
I suspect they’re doing the PLAY, not the movie, but yeah, they still have to pay rental — and, since I suspect they’re not going to have a full pit orchestra for this, for the recordings for the people to sing along with. Oh, I’m sorry, to lip ‘sing’ along with.
Repo the Genetic Opera is in my Netflix instant queueueue…. This makes me curious enough to check it out :-p
As I said before, remember: the whole movie is supposed to take place in one day. Enjoy!
This makes me wonder if there are groups out there doing campy “preformances” of “The Room.”
I’d totally be down with that.
My husband informs me that yes, there are groups that do this. Almost makes me want to make a bad film, almost…
Finally, after all these years, I now know what Neil Diamond’s song Shilo is all about…….
CD, I didn’t know any of Neil’s songs had plots. I’ll just drink some Red, Red Wine in the Boat that I Row.
Some Cracklin’ Rosie? Tomorrow you’d best attend Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show…….
I have had Shilo as an earworm all day. I’m blaming you. 🙂
Okay, I just read the wiki and I have questions.
1. There was a movie being advertised earlier this year called “Repo Man” that was nothing like the original, but had something to do with reposessing organs. Is this the same movie?
2. Paul Sorvino? Srsly?!? I thought he was a respected actor?
3. Does Poe have any ambitions other than to make Björk seem rational and mild tempered?
4. How does Paris Hilton stay on the A-list when the only movies she’s been in make Susan Tyrell look like Katherine Hepburn?
1. No, this was actually a huge, odd coincidence that had a lot of people calling ‘rip off’, but both were based on two totally different original pieces (Repo Man on an old story, Genetic Opera on a stage play).
2. Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon were in Rocky Horror, so…
3. Um, not sure what you’re talking about here
4. If you see the movie, you’ll realize this part was MADE for Paris Hilton. It showed me that she is able to make fun of herself, though I still think shes super vapid.
Poe apparently did the “lip singing” for one of the characters. My point was that Björk gets stuck with the Queen of Unstable crown due to her outrageous outfits, irrational outbursts and general weirdness; but Poe, to me anyway, seems far less stable, way creepier in her subject matter, and something of a Björk knockoff in her style.
Poe still makes music? this is new to me.
I only have one of her CDs…. the one from the 90’s. The only one she had hits songs from. I thought she disappeared after that.
*** news to me
but I suppose it’s new to me too.
I thought Poe was a writer and poet. And dead.
Well yes, Edgar claims the name and biggest fame first. But there’s also a singer named Poe. Which I guess was before your time, which makes me feel old. (If people think I’m still highschool aged by my looks, that’s means time hasn’t actually passed since then, right?)
Go look up the innuendo filled song “Angry Johnny”
Technically, Edgar was before my time too.
Damn kids! I remember hanging out with Edgar, we called him E. A. back then. Me, Grampdaddy, and ol’ E.A. were sitting around, drinking wine from this cask, what was it called again? Monty Python, yeah that was what they called it. Anyway, I tried talking him out of marrying his cousin, but he wouldn’t hear it, or rather, I suspect he couldn’t hear it since there was this loud noise coming from under the floor. Grampdaddy was the best man at his wedding.
Hey, I remember that now christina! We all pitched in with Alex Dumas and bought him that “Count on Mounting Crisco” book for a wedding gift. I think Poe and spouse have a great grandchild known as ‘Hammy’ – You ever heard anything more about him?
Man, we had some good times together – remember that crazy bird he kept? And that hughtastic clock with the big swinging weight? Best thing ever was the time he hid the cow heart under the landlord’s floorboard along with the remote-controlled speaker – guy went nuts trying to find it!
Those were the good old days!
Remember how ticked Alex used to get when we called him Mr. Dumbass? Ah, good times indeed!
Alex did get pretty upset, but the three of us were pretty inseparable back then. We always said,”Anyone messes with one of us, they mess with all of us – we really were ‘all for one’ “.
Rotti Largo(male) age 25-over /the older the better
I’ve got this one locked up – no others need apply. Oh, and I can’t sing, either.
You’re a little “rotti” around the edges too.
Isn’t “Parvi” a fatal dog disease?
Aww – and now my feelings are hurt.*
*This may not be true.
** Would totally go see this if Grampdaddy was in it, even though Brainsy’s description of it has me frightened **
It’s horror, crack, hyper-melodramatic, and musical. Would make a good Halloween viewing.
Some parts of it did make me squirm…. specifically the repo part…. I can’t stand torture/gore in live action (drawings I can tell myself its not real, but with special effects and actors screaming I can’t take it). Had to look away.
The girl obsessed with plastic surgery was pretty gross too.
Tickets! Two tickets in best seating section.
Call for best price. A classic preformed.
You know you want to!
Shilo, you know it’s… Shilo, you know it’s… Shilo, you know it’s…*bump* true.

Four girls go to a ghetto high school. They lurk in the halls of the high school for a few hours after school, because they are afraid of the neighborhood gangs. When they discover each other and become friends, they decide they should form some kind of club. Someone suggests a drama club.
Girl 1: But we ain’t got no drama teacher at Ghetto High.
Girl 0: Well, it can be a secret club.
Girl 2: But what’s a drama club do?
Girl 3: A drama club preforms movies and shit.
Girl 1: I’ll do it if I can be Paris Hilton in REPO the Genetic Opera.
Girl 3: But you gotta sing for that movie. I can’t sing and I know none of you bitches can sing, either.
Girl 2: We can lip sing.
Girl 0: That would work! I want to play Shilo.
Girl 3: I’ll be the blind bitch then.
Girl 2: (grumbles) I guess I gotta be the stupid dead mom, then.
Girl 1: It would help if we had some boys in our club.
Girl 2: You know there ain’t no guys around here gay enough to do this.
Girl 3: So how we gonna get more actors if we’re a secret club?
Girl 0: Advertise on Craig’s List! If we ask for ACTORS over 18, then nobody at school will know.
Girl 1: What if they wanna get paid?
Girl 3: Nah, everybody’s dying to get in the movies. Just tell ’em they don’t need no expiriences.
Girl 2: When we gonna practice?
Girl 0: Sign up for work release on wed at 11:30. I know a room in the condemmed section of Ghetto High where nobody goes and we can practice there.
Girl 2: And everybody can use youtube to practice lip singing at home.
Girl 1: Where and when we gonna put on the preformances?
Girl 3: We can’t have people come see it in the condemmed place.
Girl 1: Maybe the old guy who plays Rotti will have money to rent a place. I’ll sleep with him if I have to.
Girl 3: The older the better then. Young guys ain’t got no money. He’s gotta be at least 25.
Girl 2: Oooh, yeah. That’s ancient.
Girl 0: But if we’re gonna make him buy the place, we better say that we’ll put the show on when it’s convinient for him. Can’t make the old guy do everything.
Girl 1: This is gonna work! Let’s do it!

Silly! I put them in backwards so that you would be able to see them.
Italic?
Nononono!!!!
Like so:

Like this, but use the angle brackets [i]Italics[/i] to get this: Italics
Sooo…
Italics.
And if I wanted to make the doors italic, ….
Drama club, tiny club,
Sometimes I wonder how we can put anything on
Girls only, three only,
Sometimes I wonder why we exist at all!
Wanted ACTORS no expiriences.
No expiriences?
(No expiriences.)
No expiriences actors needed to help us preform the play
(Play)
Repo Genetic Opera, Lip Singing Optional
(Huh huh)
And when the play goes on, you might be arrested for pederasty.
(Pederasty!)
[pederast corey]Technically, since no boys are in the show, no catamites are available, and no pederasty can be involved. It’s a great word, though![/corey]
Pedophilia was too long.
Yes. I can see that! Why use a ten-letter word when a nine-letter word will do? 😀
One more syllable, at least how I pronounce them. =P
“[pederast corey]”
He may have been a jerk, but I don’t quite think he deserves that.
I didn’t know we were always specifically referring to the real Corey in corey tags. I also thought Corey wasn’t a jerk, so much as clueless. Obviously, my humor is way off base, today. I’ll go away and see if I can find its base.
I thought he was a jerk, but it all depends on opinion and perspective, in the end.
Stephanae, you gotta roll with the punches here. Unless drmk or dan actually criticize, the rest is just our opinions. I have to admit, I have take things personal that were only said in jest, and hope to get over that soon. 8) Don’t go away, that’s not going to solve anything, I thought Corey was a jerk, and when we put an adjective in the tags, it refers to the subject matter about to be presented, not to the person Corey himself. Oh, dang, where did I put those tags??
It’s not your fault, Stephanae, this ad is weird and apparently polorizing. I admit to feeling like I’m in an unfamiliar place. We need to go off topic in a bad way*. I’ll start once I finish catching up.
*any way you read that works for me.
Windrose, now that I reread it, it did sound like I was saying, “You hurt my feelings, and I’m going to go eat worms,” didn’t it? No seriously, I meant I thought my own humor was lame, today. And I needed to go away (but just for a while) and see if I could fix it! 😀 I really appreciate the words of encouragement, though!
Thanks to you, too, Christina. Speaking of going off topic in a bad way, I think I’m going to go dally with my dahlia* for a while. . . .
*Credit to Grampdaddy
Good on ya’ for feeling that way; since all yur bases blong us <G>
dally with my dahlia* for a while. . . .
*Credit to Grampdaddy
Always glad to be of help. 🙂 I seem to remember a comment about “rocking a rose” earlier – You must be MUCH younger than I.
Congratulations!
I have had expiriences. I guess I’m out.
Wait, is birth an expirience? Because I’ve experienced that expirience. And I would assume that anyone potentially reading this ad has also experienced that expirience. I’m concerned. Also my head hurts now. Perhaps only robots need apply.
Paging LRC! LRC, we have a job for you!
Excellent! Let’s see: I’m over 18, I have never been born, and I can’t sing…sounds perfect! Oh, wait. I’m generally at work at 11:30 am on Wednesdays. Well, I guess I’ll just have to quit my job to follow my dream of being in show business. I hope you all come see my play, I’ll let you know when as soon as I decide when would be most convenient for me. I’m thinking 2 am on a Tuesday might work. When I’m a big star, you can all say you knew me when. I, of course, will pretend not to know you because my sniveling weasel of an agent who is stealing from me will have convinced me you’re all just after my money.
Hey LRC – Tuesday at 2:00 am works well for me. You can normally find me between the bedroom and the bat… umm, never mind. Say, just between the two of us – will you be topless beneath the cape? Just imagining wondering.
Okay, I promised to go off topic, but I don’t really have anything interesting to say. I spent six hours trying to find the soundtrack for the original Rocky (Balboa, not Horror) movie and founf out that CDs really are dead. I’m all for digital media and how it lessens the environmental impact of the music industry, but giving my dad an itunes card and telling him what I want him to download seems a bit silly.
Is Amazon not an option? They have it there…
Dad’s birthday is Friday and the CD is part of a larger gift that wouldn’t work if it came separate in a box from Amazon. I only just finalized the plan and my folks live 1200 miles away so there was no way I could get it to me in time to mail.
Download and burn onto CD
Burn it! BURN IT ALL!!!
Oops, my oedipus* is showing.
*I actually have no clue what an oedipus complex is. But, it’s a great word.
You may want to rethink loving that word, NMN.
an Oedipus complex, based off the Greek tragedy of the same name, is a man who loves his mother (yes in that way) and wants to kill his father.
Oedipus was separated from his birth parents as a baby and raised by another couple far away and so had no idea what he’d done (nor did his birth parents)… when he’d realized he’d accidentally married his mother and murdered his father, he blinded himself.
Go cruise the local “Used CD stores” or Half-Price Books, if you have them. I find lots of out-of -issue CDs that way, and they generally are in excellent condition. Hope that is an option for you.
Ohh…that’s…informative. And very sad. Thanks, Silva.
We recently read that in English.
And, it’s an excellent way to be quite rude to the deserving in plain sight to one and all. Those who do not know the background will not “get” it, Those who do, will have the quandary of whether to chastise you for the expletive use, or applaud your use of non-expletive in imprecation.
Using ALT+0140 (or ampersand#338;) to render it as Œdipus! only enhances the effect.
I don’t understand what you just said, Capn. Sorry.
Well, suppose you had a Chat stack of comments started among your associates.
One of them, being as how there is always one in a group, says something rude out of spite.
If someone asks “WTF is [person’s] deal?”
You can answer “Œdipus.”
Or, suppose the ebenty-ith person asks a patently obvious question (like, if an limb were in a cast, and they go “Broke it, huh?”) you can respond: Œdipus
It cam make a twisted Status, too, like “And the horse Œdipus rode in on, too”
You can, of course, gift the exact album you want through iTunes, but then you’d still have to give the gift by email, and it sounds as though delivering it in a package is the issue. Maybe you could print the album cover and stick it on an iTunes gift card.
Plus not everything is on iTunes.
Borders has the CD. if that’s better than iTunes. http://www.borders.com/online/store/TitleDetail?sku=081227071226
I could have downloaded and burned it, but again, this is for my dad’s 60th birthday, I’m not making a copy for a friend. I found what I was looking for anyway, thanks to Hastings, which is a very weird store. They have a HUGE Christian book and music section, I’m pretty sure it’s a Christian run company, but while I was in there they were playing a lot of punk rock including some Bad Religion with very anti-god sentiments. They also have the largest selection of Japanese movies in town, includine anime of the yaoi, yuri and tenticle hentai varieties. It’s like a double rainbow, I don’t know what it means.
“Yaoi?”
Yao guai
Hopefully the link worked.
Not exactly, though there may be some hentai featuring beasts like that. I wouldn’t know.
[corey]Yaoi is usually pretty tame, teen-romance with a side of censored sex, but it’s boy meets boy, which, I’m pretty sure the Christians* aren’t down with. Yuri would be the same, but with girls.[/corey]
*I almost typed Christinas. Christinas are most definitely supportive of gay rights.
I’m seeing some kind of green werewolf, NMN. You already said some other time that you are an anime fan, so I won’t define yaoi for you. heh…
Christina- maybe its a very liberal christian bookstore? I mean, here in Mass, there’s quite a few churches with rainbow flags out front.
Err…I’ve heard of..err…ecchi.
And a yao guai is an enemy from Fallout 3.
Oh, and I’d define it as a reversed rainbow. Don’t know what that means, but it sounds more accurate than a double rainbow.
And that is the extent that I will say in this conversation.
*zips lips*
Double Rainbow
Hastings is different stores in different places.
We have two here, one each in the abutting cities. The one is large, aimed very much at college students, and their tastes. The other is more compact, much, much smaller music section*; really odd book selection.
None of the ones I’ve been within in Texas have been very anything.
You might be thinking of Walden Books* which was very much a ‘stealth’ christian book seller. They discriminated by inventory selection. Which made for an odd SF section, let alone humor/compiled comics section.
__________
*I spent some cash there, since, if they stocked a line, it was the entire line of an author, and with fewer picking out 1 or 2 titles. The mix of stricture and custom caused me to write WaldenBuche on my check more than once.
[yaoi corey] While quite a bit of Yaoi is pretty tame and censored, there is an immensely wide selection of uncensored Yaoi available. Full frontal on 20% of the pages in some titles, some titles even prominently feature bondage. [/yaoi coreY] Not that I spend all my free time looking at Yaoi (my oldest does).
I may feel the need to lobby for fewer arts in the schools, just for the sake of the arts.
The last play of my highschool year could be proof of this. I can’t act so I painted sets. Those in the actual play couldn’t act either. Especially the cheerleader who giggled through every one of her lines (it wasn’t the part of a cheerleader, she was one). The sets got good reviews at least…
Let’s just say that Kae was a high school drama director. Let’s say that Kae’s plays were from passable to not bad. Let’s say that Kae didn’t survive the bureaucracy of undergraduate education. Let’s say that Kae went to the next play that her students had put on. Let’s say that it was so bad that Kae cannot go back to that memory without referring to it in the theoretical third person. (Even the set was bad.)
And thank you, llama-nun*, for the earworm of the day. All day, in my head, I have been singing my theme song:
Poncho, poncho moose
I want to be, your poncho moose
*bees be upon you
Huh – I thought the line was: “I want to get in your poncho, Moose.”
Oh man, now that’s there’s no editing, I’m dropping apostrophes and putting them where they don’t belong… all over the place…
I’m bored, so… doors for everybody tonight!
+1 +1 +1 +1 +1
Yay, I’m doing the same thing! Considering I don’t normally have doors, it was the least I could do.
I’m almost done with your picture, by the way. Been working on it most of the day.
What picture?!
I was talking to Christina. Sorry NMN.
Yeah, I figured that. Question still stands, though; what picture?!
Yay! Oh dang, I should have waited. It’s going to be hard for me to wait until Christmas to show my husband.
NMN, Silva is working on a drawing for me. I’d describe it, but I’m not sure if my husband ever looks at the comments here.
I followed your idea, Silva. I gave adores to everyone, except myself. It doesn’t count if you adore yourself.
Door yourself, it’s only fair. I’ve noticed a decline in doors recently so either we aren’t as funny as we used to be or more people are taking their snark to go. I’m hoping my next phone allows them. I’m leaning toward the EVO and that thing freaking prints money so it better be java enabled!
Okay, no more doors, the Lappy 486 is about to die, switching to the phone.
Commenting died, soo…
Golden Lotus.
LaKitta, hope you find out about your day in the Golden Lotus! Punchity Punch Punch!
G’Night, Mounting Crisco!
My friend’s high school drama club did “Rocky Horror Picture Show”. It was amazing, especially the guy playing Dr. Frank-n-Furter.
TarePanda!
Awww…
my sister and i loves to read christian books because it inspires us to live life in its fullest “,`
You know, I wouldn’t ordinarily comment on this comment, but this is the second comment today where the “commenter” name was some sort of spammy ad page link. Go away, SpamTroll.
