Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: LadyJean Date: 06 Dec 03 - 01:06 AM I've been in the Society for Creative Anachronism for a couple of decades now. The S.C.A. is a group of historical reenactors. We do the good parts of the middle ages. It's all make-believe. It's amazing how many people will stab a friend in the back for the sake of make-believe. I haven't spoken to three of the people who did me dirt for 18 years. There are a couple more I don't like to be in the same room with for more than a few minutes. Any one of them would qualify. |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Peace Date: 06 Dec 03 - 12:49 AM Blind Drunk in Blind River: The hell you say. You ain't gonna marry Shania if I get there first. An' that's a fack, Jack! If I get there first I tell stories about you, even though we've never met. She fer sure ain't goin' fall for a country boy that single handedly destroyed the virgin wool industry of th'entire Dominion of Canada. Not if I tell her it wasn't with your handedly that you ruined the whole sweater business and put 85,000 people outta work, to say nothin' about makin' thousands of rams jealous. I mean it. Just you don't think twice 'bout my heart throb, amongst other thangs that don't require to be mentioned on this site. |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Mickey191 Date: 05 Dec 03 - 03:15 PM Cluin, You picked the prettiest "Girl" there. The only one you could bring home to Momma as a pet. The rest would scare the beejeezes out of her. Imagine what this guy's dreams must be like. Obesssed is right! |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Bill D Date: 05 Dec 03 - 02:33 PM oh, mercy! I have seen some of the "furry art" before, but this guy goes beyond most of them! Evidently he sells prints at 'shows' these people attend. Can YOU say "obsession"? |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Cluin Date: 05 Dec 03 - 11:20 AM I don't know, Mickey. I never use that "Make a blue clicky" feature. I know HTML, so I just type the code out myself. There are plenty of HTML primer sites on the Net to teach you basic coding. It's not hard to pick up. The "Mail To:" is a special link to make a clicky to send e-mail to a particular address; Unless that's what you want to make, forget about it. By the way, that picture I linked to above, isn't one of mine. I just happened across a page of artwork that it was on and remembered it as I read through this thread. I went back through my browser history and found it and linked to it. I don't even remember what I was searching for when I found the page, but if you think that image was sick, brucie, DON'T check out the other sketches on the page. What a strange world some people inhabit... |

Talk about a flippin nightmair! Who I would WANT to be with on the island with is Shania Twain. I am gonna marry her someday. And why is "island" spelled that way? It should be spelled eyeland, eh? Okay, it IS land but...know what I mean? - BDiBR |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Peace Date: 02 Dec 03 - 10:03 PM Mickey 191's right about her eyes. Tell me it's a her--I'm not strange or anything. |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Peace Date: 02 Dec 03 - 10:01 PM Just to carry in my wallet. Jaysus, what a crew. Sick, I tell you. |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Peace Date: 02 Dec 03 - 10:00 PM Sick people, sick, sick, sick. Cluin, may I have a copy of the picture? |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Herga Kitty Date: 02 Dec 03 - 07:55 PM Oh come off it Giok -if you were on a desert island you'd definitely need Linda Snell to organise a pantomime. And Peter Stringfellow to sort out the costumes. Just think what a wonderful team they would be! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Mickey191 Date: 02 Dec 03 - 06:41 PM Thanks for the tip. Maybe you can tell me when you ar making a blue clicky, what info. do you put where it asks Mail To? Thanks in advance. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Cluin Date: 02 Dec 03 - 06:14 PM That's how it starts, Mickey... |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Mickey191 Date: 02 Dec 03 - 05:59 PM Cluin, is that your sweetheart? Had her picture right at your fingertips. I love her eyes. |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Peace Date: 02 Dec 03 - 12:45 PM A sheep. I understand from some of our British brothers that they begin to look attractive after a few months. |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Cluin Date: 01 Dec 03 - 07:24 PM Yeah, but you gotta admit... he cleaned up that nest of Irish mutants with tails. ;) |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Gareth Date: 01 Dec 03 - 07:19 PM Hmmm! Despite the efforts of the Spin Doctors (both English and Irish) to pass off Oliver Cromwell as an 'English' Gentleman, the fact remains that he was born Oliver Williams, at Rumney/Llanrumney near Cardiff - A Welshman ! I make no comment about his politics, or his effective means of dealling with rebels ! Gareth - Heading for Cover !!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: GUEST,Kim C no cookie Date: 01 Dec 03 - 11:25 AM I don't actually loathe anyone. There are several people I find inherently annoying, but I don't loathe them. Although I might if I had to be stranded with them... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Cluin Date: 01 Dec 03 - 11:24 AM Peter T.... You could always "hate-f##k" her. But yes, the novelty of that would wear off pretty soon. As would continually telling her to shut up. And there isn't enough meat on her to make a good meal either... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Little Hawk Date: 01 Dec 03 - 11:21 AM Ohhhh,..Peter. Nasty! LOL! How about Whitney Houston? Then again, being stranded on a desert island with Woody Allen could be quite a memorable experience too. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Dave Bryant Date: 01 Dec 03 - 11:05 AM I was going to say Breezy, but I expect that after he'd told me who was on at St Albans, Rickmansworth, Harpenden etc, he'd be swimming on to the next island to advertise the gigs to the canibals who lived there - and anyway there's plenty of sharks in between . . . . . . |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 01 Dec 03 - 10:33 AM My ex-son-in-law. He's an alcoholic (no real big deal there, necessarily), a cocaine user, a manipulator, a wife-beater, a liar, sneaky, and a con-man and swindler. I can document all of those things. Plus, I don't like him. Dave Oesterreich |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Peter T. Date: 01 Dec 03 - 08:57 AM Celine Dion. The terrible part is that she would be a woman, and life on a desert island is lonely, so one would inevitably find oneself attracted to her, and then the only solution is suicide. yours, Peter T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Grab Date: 01 Dec 03 - 08:47 AM Still irrelevant, Mickey. So you can't get away from them - so what? Does that mean then that you should nominate someone you loathe but could put up with for a while, or someone you want to try and talk round to your way of thinking, or someone you want to take out of circulation for a while to benefit the rest of the world, or someone you just want to drown on the beach? In other words, the "island" part of the question is not relevant because it doesn't narrow down the possibilities at all. You could just as well say, "You're in a hotel lobby, and you see someone you loathe next to you. Who is it?" The situation has no bearing on the answer. Now if you said, "You're on a chat-show with someone you loathe and you have the chance to expose them for the fraud they are", now *that* would narrow it down to something worth considering. Or, "You can nominate someone you loathe to be stranded on a desert island for the rest of their life." Graham. PS. "belt" = hit, "bonce" = head, "boulder" = large rock. |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Jeanie Date: 01 Dec 03 - 04:41 AM Ditto, ditto Willie-O ! Maybe we could arrange some kind of one-way desert island cruise for the three of them: Willie-O's mom, my mum and Little Hawk's grandma ???? - jeanie |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Mickey191 Date: 30 Nov 03 - 11:45 PM Guest Graham, The island is not an irrelevancy - my point was - on the island there is no place to run. Please explain "belting over the bonce with a boulder." If your implication is that one might do murder & sup, that's a hell of an extrapolation. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: GUEST,Grab Date: 30 Nov 03 - 07:40 PM I'm not sure of the point of this question. The "desert island" concept of the first two sentences seems irrelevant - the only relevant bit is the question "who do you loathe?" Putting the "desert island" context back in, with a bit of luck (and a large rock) they'll be providing you with food for a few weeks. So someone who's well-fed and has slower reflexes, and who you wouldn't mind belting over the bonce with a boulder... Graham. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Mickey191 Date: 30 Nov 03 - 04:37 PM PS I've seen & read enough about George Bush & the "Rev." Ian Paisley to make a decision as to their character. I think others have as well. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Mickey191 Date: 30 Nov 03 - 04:32 PM Gee Clinton, I thought there was a music thread at Mudcat. Must have been a dream. We didn't have to know the historical villains to loathe them. Never met Hitler or Stalin or Himmler or Cromwell. Have not met Paisley or George Lincoln Rockwell either. But I know their motives, murderous ways, and their bigotry. Since,presumedly, you've never met them, when will you make your judgement on their character? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Little Hawk Date: 30 Nov 03 - 03:48 PM Speaking of which, Clinton, when is your next gig...or should I just check out your website? We had a great concert here on Friday night with Norm Hacking. Very heartfelt performance. - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Clinton Hammond Date: 30 Nov 03 - 02:53 PM I certainly wouldn't judge someone by what the media showed me about them... that seems bigoted on some level... So, who here KNOWS George Bush, Ian Paisley, or anyone else listed in this thread... Too many "How Much Do You Hate" threads on Mudcat... How's about we have some more "What Do You LIKE" threads... Or here's a radical idea.. how about some MUSIC stuff... how's about we do a better job of supporting each others musical endeavours at the very least... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Little Hawk Date: 30 Nov 03 - 12:01 PM Thanks, Clinton. I think it's my round...but it can wait. :-) Now let's see...I think I'd relish the opportunity to be stranded on an island with George Bush (for a limited time, that is...say a few weeks). I don't think he'd make such bad company, and I'd get a chance to gradually introduce him to all kinds of new ideas he's probably never considered in his life. Could be fun. I think he might just fire Karl Rove when we got back to civilization, providing I handled it right. I would really not want to be stranded on an island with Maggie Thatcher, though. There are some nuts that are just too hard to crack. Likewise, I would not have wanted to be stranded on an island with my paternal grandmother. She was a lot like Willie-O's mom and Maggie Thatcher put together! Funny post there, Willie-O, I enjoyed it. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Hillheader Date: 30 Nov 03 - 09:10 AM Ian Paisley. With him on the Island the tide would be scared to come in and we would never get off!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Helen Date: 29 Nov 03 - 10:50 PM The last person I would want to be stuck on a desert(ed) island with is the bullying bastard who bare-facedly manipulated, lied, scammed and cheated me out of my previous job, and got away with it. And if he was the one heading into shore on a little raft I would be plotting ways to tie him up and keep him out of mischief, because I spent nearly two years trying to break through to any sense of decency and humanity that he might have, believing that there is some good in everyone, but I reluctantly came to the conclusion that he is one of the exceptions to an otherwise excellent rule. Some people deliberately set out to hurt other people, in the worst possible way, and no amount of reasoning with them or appealing to their inner core of humanity seems to get through to them. Sociopathic, disconnected from the rest of the human race, totally devoid of empathy! Tie him up on a nest of scorpions and see him weasel his way out of that one! Sorry to get so serious, but that's my fair dinkum answer. Helen |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Bobert Date: 29 Nov 03 - 10:49 PM Yo Nicole, I think you are assuming' that he is , ahhh, deprogramable, which is, ahhhh, a reach... Conventional wisdon has it that he has learned his last new trick ans since he has never been anything other than "party boy" I think, ahhhh, yer idea of deprograming him can only get him back into drinkin', pretzelin' 'n womanizin'..... Bobert |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Clinton Hammond Date: 29 Nov 03 - 10:44 PM "there is absolutely no point in hating anyone" Ya... life's to short... even to hate you LH! *big kiss* LOL Whose round is it anyway? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: NicoleC Date: 29 Nov 03 - 10:39 PM If I were stuck on a desert island with GWB, it'd give me the perfect chance to de-program him. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Bobert Date: 29 Nov 03 - 10:27 PM Okay, I'll bite... ahhh, figuratively speakin' of course... Hey, I loathe Jessica Lange... Can't stand the looks of her... And, Morgan Fairchild? Whew, keep that witch away from me... Yeah, and don't ship wreck me with Goldiw Hawn neither... That gal is way too noisey... Or Candice Bergan... too bossy... 'er, ahhhh.... .... yeah, give me Bush! It will be my pleasure to kick the crap out of him every day we're there until we get rescued... or not... What? I can't have the little weesel? What'd I say wrong? Hey, I was just kiddin' about Morgain Fairchild.... Hey.... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Rapparee Date: 29 Nov 03 - 09:17 PM If I'd been on the island long enough, I'd call them "dinner." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Willie-O Date: 29 Nov 03 - 09:10 PM my mom. NOT that I loathe her. I would just rather be stuck on a coral reef with Osama Bin Laden and Donald Rumsfeld than alone on a desert island with Mom. actually, I was stranded on an island once with her and a bunch of other relatives--it was the high point of my childhood. in your hypothetical situation, she would start talking as soon as she drifted within earshot, and wouldn't stop until merciful death overtook us. W-O |

Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Mickey191 Date: 29 Nov 03 - 08:57 PM Herbal or pekoe? I knew you were joshing--just as I was about the guitar. I seriously dislike the two I mentioned, but it's not an all consuming passion with me. As to your second paragraph-there's no Karate School on this island. The peacemaking must be done with words alone. That's the best way in any event. Ebbie, Funny I was going to bring a gun into the story-but thought that was toooo dark. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Nov 03 - 08:11 PM I did it for laughs, Mickey. I actually kind of like Clinton. He's an awful cynic, but I like him anyway. Here's the straight truth: there is absolutely no point in hating anyone, it does you serious harm and it may do them harm too. If you were to end up on an island with someone you disliked, hated, etc...it would be a tremendous opportunity to do a whole lot of maturing fast and get over it...and learn to appreciate what's valuable about them. This would, of course, depend partly on their attitude. If they tried to kill you in spite of your good intentions, then I would recommend a good self-defence technique sufficient to frustrate their purpose and make them reconsider the wisdom of having such a bad attitude. Now that I've gone and totally screwed the premise of this thread, I think I'll have a nice relaxing cup of tea... :-) - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Ebbie Date: 29 Nov 03 - 08:06 PM hhahahah, Little Hawk- woeful thought. If I were on that situation, I guess I'd have to quickly come to the realization that I need to accept the basic humanity of the person. It would make a big difference to me as to why I couldn't stand him (or her). Whether it was because s/he was a know-it-all, or because s/he just didn't like me and wasn't backward about showing it, or because s/he was a known thief/cheater/murderer, my response to the person would vary widely, not to say, wildly. OK- another refinement on the predicament: suppose the person was suspected by you of having killed your best friend? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Mickey191 Date: 29 Nov 03 - 08:04 PM LH, You did manage to come up with a name-perhaps you waste just a bit of vital energy disliking intensly. Okay then, did you steal or smash the guitar? Peter Stringfellow. Who he?? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: mack/misophist Date: 29 Nov 03 - 08:03 PM For any right thinking human there's really no choice. The answer has to be George W Bush. Hqands down. Forget Sadam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. G W Bush is the anti-christ. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Nov 03 - 07:30 PM Ha! Ha! LOL! What a concept... I can't be bothered to loathe anyone. It isn't a wise way to use one's vital energy...but...here's what I'm envisioning: I'm alone on the desert island, and I see this guy with a beard, clinging to a guitar desperately. He's floating in on the breakers. As I go to help him to his feet, I suddenly realize... It's CLINTON HAMMOND!!! GAHHHHHHHHHHH! - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: GUEST,Lunduner Date: 29 Nov 03 - 07:07 PM Peter Stringfellow..no contest. |
|
Subject: BS: Desert Island Question in Reverse From: Mickey191 Date: 29 Nov 03 - 06:56 PM You believe yourself to be the lone survivor of a ship wreck. You are on a desert island, when suddenly you see someone on a raft drifting toward you. You realize it is the one person (in public or private life) that you truly loathe. Who is it? It's a toss-up for me--the Bush or the River. George Bush or Joan Rivers. What say you? |
