Does anyone remember Xuxa?
One of the benefits of raising a child is that in their younger years you can watch Xuxa with them.
My God, she was a babe.
All those kids in the studio were annoying though. Should have put some Ritalin in the punch bowl.

JAC - Yeah, I liked Art and remember him being nothing but a good-natured guy, but I think that was before things turned ugly at rs.com (if what I hear from others is correct). I've seen some backlogs of some of the arguments that he was involved in here, and he seemed like a totally different person, which was kind of sad. Yeah, he had become a disciple of Bill O'Reilly by the time he got here. Did I say "disciple"? No, that's not quite right. He took it to a whole new level. More like an APOSTLE of Bill O'Reilly. He even used a pic of Mr. O'Reilly as his avatar. Harmless enough, though, having been domesticated by Topdog. The last I heard about him he was a truck driver in Texas (no shit). |

Strat, I think you need to relax and take a few days off and just smell the sea breeze. If you're nowhere near the coast, just buy some seaweed and cheap fish foods (e.g. salmon trimmings), and stick 'em in a jar of salted water. Leave in the sun, on a window-ledge for about 6 hours, then set a small fan over to waft the ensuing scents across your airy spaces. To add a little visual authenticity you could add a broken sea shell (razor clam is a personal favourite), half a dried dog turd, a bit of sand, and some shards of broken glass, half-submerged, as though awaiting the delicate foot-soles of passing children. I hate writing sentimental stuff like this. But yeah, crack open a Bud and chill. To be fair. Then I'd say by Wednesday you'll be fit and ready for action. You need to get back on the horse, big fella. But sometimes the horse needs a quick, soothing reach around to avoid bucking you right off. Metaphorically. I guess you know what I mean. POTD ! Strat U have to admit this was hilarious ! Don't let the little things get ya down man. No doubt - Jesus's post made me spit up my coffee. Thanks for the stain on the shirt. |

I don't even understand the debate any more. I take it that shin and I have some growing up to do though. Clubber and someone are hopeless though, I think they take the pot.
Ryo is so banned from sedaka for starting all this.

Feed me
Shoot it from your head tonight and
Feed me
You know I'm hard to please and you've gone greedy
But that's the price I pay when I’m on my knees
So curious
As I’m leaking fervor on any man taking money on my rope
Heal me
Lay your hands on me tonight and
Heal me
I am so high that you can barely
See me
And now I know this is the real me
(Yawn!)
So furious
As I’m looking for a cure ‘cause I’m a closet homosexual
So dangerous
I am really speaking through me now
To tell you what I've found
Get down on your hands and knees
I pray tonight that nobody sees
The filth
The filth, diseased
Could it be that I don’t need this faith?
No one needs your faith anymore
A new kind of faith...mmmm...yeah...ohhh

To strat,
Castaways:
An open forum dedicated to the free exchange of ideas, information, and fraternity.
I really like that, and I hope you still believe in it, because I do. I'm not gonna lie, I don't have as much time to play around these parts as I did back in the day... I'll be around though, and I really hope you will be, too.
You've been an amazing CEO since this thing began, and you'll always be amazing. Seriously, I swear on Paris Hilton, when I come to Castaways, I think, "that's hot."

Nicely said Matheus. I'd just offer one thought that's a bit of disagreement. I see comments all the time, as you've mentioned in that post, about these boards "being what they once were". Why exactly do we want them to be what they once were? We've all changed. Some started at RS as high school or college students, who are now graduated (sometimes multiple times) and working. People have made major moves (sometimes from one country to another), gotten married, had kids, etc. I doubt we all listen to exactly the same music we did when we started posting at RS. We may not enjoy reading the same kinds of things. So why exactly are we all so hellbent on having a discussion board that is what it used to be when we're not what we used to be? I think it's time for us to just let go of what used to be, and let this place evolve and move forward like all of us have.

Motives and reinterpretations... I could wonder as well. May I?

Or join the majority in ignoring both of them. Welcome back Matheus...I think you broke the record for the length of time between deleting an account and creating a new one. What was it? 24 hours? 48? At least you're back. I was already beginning to miss the spiritual tidbits from the Kabbalah that you periodically blessed us with. |

I think that Kool actually holds the delete than re-create record. But that's only because he's accidentally deleted his account on too many occasions when all he meant to do was modify his profile.

Welcome back Matheus...I think you broke the record for the length of time between deleting an account and creating a new one. What was it? 24 hours? 48? At least you're back. I was already beginning to miss the spiritual tidbits from the Kabbalah that you periodically blessed us with. Motives and reinterpretations... I could wonder as well. May I? Wonder no more. I assume you're talking about my goofing with your Kabbalistic Fortune Cookie words of wisdom that I posted a day or two ago (it was right after you deleted your account, just before you created the one you have now). If so, I assure you that my motives were purely a matter of what is commonly referred to where I come from as "shits and giggles". Just having a little fun, kind of like playing a game of Mad Libs. I can only assume that such was the case in your motivation as well. If so, then everything's hunky dory, eh? If not, well fuck me running, nobody knows how to have a good time anymore. I guess noone remembers Xuxa. |

To strat, Castaways: An open forum dedicated to the free exchange of ideas, information, and fraternity. I really like that, and I hope you still believe in it, because I do. I'm not gonna lie, I don't have as much time to play around these parts as I did back in the day... work, school, b/f, other friends I've gained since I've grown up, life, etc. I'll be around though, and I really hope you will be, too. You're one of the reasons I came back (not that I ever expected to be gone long, anyway, I needed to take a step back). And you're right, sometimes it's just not fun anymore, but we can work our way towards it being what it once was. An open forum dedicated to the free exchange of ideas, information, and fraternity... the bullshit will always arise, look at the history and where this came from, but in the end, it's always been about the free exchange of ideas, information, and fraternity. You've been an amazing CEO since this thing began, and you'll always be amazing. Seriously, I swear on Paris Hilton, when I come to Castaways, I think, "that's hot." What can I say, JAC, I missed being mocked by you so much that I had to return sooner than I intended. Not to explain anything to JAC (he doesn't deserve an explanation), but to explain myself: I never intended to be gone for long. I start school on the 27th, and from what I've heard of the program I'm enrolled in, it's going to kick my ass. I deleted my account so maybe I would read what others had to say without speaking, because quite honestly, I'm out of the loop here. It's nice sometimes to get a better understanding of what others are saying, what they're thinking, and not responding. I come in here quite often not knowing anything that's going on with anyone else, and I just talk. It's always been my thing here, it's a place for me to get out what I don't usually get out around others. On the other hand, I can't get that out if I don't understand anyone else. I stay in touch with Chrisfan, but other than her, I'm generally out of the loop with everyone. So excuse me for being so rash, and doing something without thinking. The few days I was gone was enough. I realized JAC's continued mockery right away. I realized how much I respect strat. I realized how much I miss speaking to Chrisfan on an everyday basis. I remembered Mary's intelligence. I remembered a lot of other posters like Kool, who has always been cool with me. I also realized I'd like to get to know maarts a little better because we haven't had the opportunity to talk much. Did I mention that Jesus is around, and he's funny as hell. I have explained myself... for my own sake. Me mocking you? Good God, you aren't that important. I may have been mocking the Kabbalah, but I'm not so naive as to think that you are the sole representative of that ancient tome. Please get over yourself. It's easy to lurk here without deleting one's account. I guess the urge was just too strong for you to confine your participation to merely watching the drama unfold without your input. If you don't think it's fun anymore, delete it from your Favorites, go spend your time at Madonna.com, study up for the class at school that's going to kick your ass, spend some quality time with the "b/f", do whatever your little heart desires. It's only natural to move on when something isn't fun anymore. The problem is that you can't seem to decide if it's fun or if it's not. Make your mind up, good sir, because I, for one, am tired of the whole "well, I'm out of the loop, I only stay in touch with Chrisfan, I don't have much time to play around these parts, here are a few reasons why I came back" BULLSHIT. Who fucking CARES "why" you came back? You weren't gone for 2 days, it's reasonable to assume that there are many here who had no idea you were even gone. I'm glad you came back, but I don't give two shits as to "why". Sometimes I don't have much time to play around these parts, either. My solution? When I don't have the time, I DON'T PLAY AROUND THESE PARTS!!! Try it! It doesn't require deleting an account and it sure as hell doesn't warrant a grand return replete with the reasons you had to take a 2 day break. You only stay in touch with Chrisfan, you say, as if that were an apology to everyone else you don't wish to really "stay in touch with". That's fine and dandy...what I want to know is WHY WOULD ANYONE ELSE CARE TO KNOW? So you're tight with Chrisfan. Big fucking deal. I'm sure she has an e-mail address, and if this place gravitates back to the point where you just don't think it's fun anymore, I'm sure she won't mind if you use it. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now you can justify saying you've been "mocked". PS. Congratulations on "growing up". |
