hmmm..what don't I like?

His fickleness (is that a word?)

His apparent decision to fit into the latest trend...cut your hair man!

His ...uh...well...stuff you know, I can't think of the word, his...

okay fine, I like him just fine. sheesh!

This time I did read through the whole thread. Thought it might lead to an interesting discussion about character flaws and the reality of the human character vs. the falsehood of what we think we know based on what we see/read in the media.

And here you all are drooling again. ROFL

Never mind.

...backs out of thread humbly appreciative of the hard work that goes into making the show...

Thanx,

Hmmm...what don't I like about Mike?

Well, there's the fact that he NEVER takes out the trash! And he leaves his wet towels on the bathroom floor. And don't even get me started on leaving the toilet seat up!

But, Mike, as long as you keep sending me those roses every month, I guess I can overlook your bad habits!

Liz

Yikes!

It sounds like Liz has intimate knowledge of "our" Mike. Could she be the SBTB?

Just asking,

Jeez, Jamie. For all your professed otherworld sensibilities you seem to be on the offensive today. Can I ask...and I mean this in the nicest way possible...what crawled up your nether regions today?

I could accuse you of being several ex-banned posters based on your writing "style," but what's your issue? Are you feeling "hurt" that Mike didn't sign off with "Love" when he has responded to you?

I'm serious, don't hint at why your angry and be a sniper, bring out your potato gun (I know you've got ammo in the pantyhose on the door) and just explain your issue. You seem extremely literate, I'm sure you can find a way to say it without losing another screen name.

Wilkweb,

I am content with this SN. It has never been triggered, nor have I made a single "s#xual comment".

I am not "calling out" Liz as a personal friend of Mike's, as much as making known that certain members have met him, and those members seem to get immediate treatment from Mike. Whether '06 from the 150th, or "08 from Hot Springs, Mike treats those people that he has actually met better than us he knows only by SN.

And I thought this was a Message Board!

Jamie (Gort)

Klaatu,

I'm glad you finally just got your issue out. It is a message board, only a message board. It is what you make of it, but it seems to bring out a lot of spite in people who feel slighted by Mike.

My real question is why do you care? Will it validate you in some way if he acknowledges you over them? Does being spiteful towards someone else here help?

I'm serious with the question, and I am trying to understand why you would place any stock in it at all. Sure it's kinda exciting when Mike responds to you, but it doesn't make you his friend. It's not an immediate "in" to his inner circle, no matter what anyone here would try to make you believe.

I've never met Mike, he has responded to me plenty of times, and hasn't responded plenty of other times. I learned not to take it personally, because honestly the man doesn't know me, and even if I had spent 8 hours in the same vicinity as him, it doesn't give me, or anyone else here any special priviledges.

I hope that you can find a way to let go of your anger and maybe examine why it's important to you that Mike acknowledge you equally?

It's an expectation of someone you don't "know" that I feel is unrealistic. Trust me a couple years ago I got all bent about it too, I do understand. I stepped back, took stock and actually thought about it. It's unrealistic, and why bother getting upset? Why hold a grudge on a message board when real life holds so many more exciting challenges?

I'm sure this hasn't helped at all, but I didn't want you to feel attacked. I think what you said was succinct and to the point. Many more misunderstandings and "snipings" would be solved quickly if people just stated their issue rather than following another poster around with (please forgive me) a transparent agenda.

Seriously though, I just want everyone to have fun posting here. I don't know the ins-and-outs of who's who and who used to be who and who is now who but with a different name. Just keep laughing and thinking.

I read somewhere on the board that Lava Soap is good for these kinds of things?

kelby

My post was a joke, done tongue-in-cheek.

Yes, I've met met Mike; but I don't think talking to him for maybe a total of 20 minutes qualifies me as his friend.

I'd like to be, of course; just as I'd like to be friends with many other members of the mb.

But for now, I just want to make it clear I have no "special knowledge" of Mike, I'm not his friend, I'm only a member of this board just like everyone else.

Darn, not much hair? Well, that's okay, I'm elated that you don't shave or wax the hair you've got

Sorry, nothing intellectual to add, just one of my usual swooning posts to E/H.

Necy77 and Maks:
Alaskan gumbo is something my mother came up with. She was born and raised in Texas and has lived in Alaska the past thirty-some-odd years, so I look at this as the ultimate hybrid of her two worlds.
You start with your basic gumbo, rice, red beans, chilies, onions, sausage and then to make it Alaskan you add king crab knuckles, jumbo shrimp in the shell and then whatever else strikes yer fancy. I've always wanted to try it with moose sausage and maybe steamer clams.
Mom always made it on Christmas Eve with these big rolls. I would always hollow out my roll and then poor the gumbo into it. Then, when the gumbo was gone, I'd have this delicious soaked roll to finish off..... *drools*
The only time it went wrong was when mom added buffalo wings. Kinda through the seafood/gumbo balance off.

And now that I've told you all this secret family recipe, well, I'm afraid I'll have to do something... drastic... *steeples her fingers in dramatic 'plotting' fashion*
MWAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!

I cant say there is anything I dont like,I dont know the guy

But I will say he has a freakishly big head.

But he wears it well...

I hate to be the one to tell you this but you are making a Texas Alaskan gumbo..cause there ain't no beans or chilies in a gumbo..and rice does not go in the gumbo but under it...or on top..depending what you put in the bowl first...everything eles the sausage, onions, and seafood..yeah..that sounds gooood! pooyie!! that's some good eating sha!!! as for whatever you are "plotting" cause of the family secrect..don't make me use my voodoo!!!! I'll conja up something right quick..

MWHAHA..cough..cough..oh..i'm getting to old for this ....

Alaskan Gumbo is a lot easier to say then "Texas/Alaskan gumbo type stew thingy with rice, red beans and chilies".
Ya ol' coonass.

I just realized that comin' from a Texan-turned-Yank, "coonass" could be taken badly.
My husband's cousin's kin come from Louisiana and always lovingly referred to themselves as 'coonasses' so it's with utmost southern respect that I use the term, Necy. (Oh PLEASE don't throw me in the brair patch!!)

LOL!!! of course I'm a coonass!! ..oh can we say that here..guess we'll find out..no briair patch for ya...this time..anyways
