Location: Midland, MI | Man, I am so tempted to go into a Beavis thing here, in response to Islander's post.
But, I think I'll leave that to Woody. Ooh, which reminds me. Went with SWMBO up to K-ameapart to get some sundry crap. I picked up a hobbiest magazine. As we stepped up to the checkout she asked me, 'So, what did you get.' I loudly, yet suavely replied, 'I got Wood, baby.' That caught the attention of the cashier and a couple of nearby shoppers. Man, I love doing that. |

There are far more Lurkers than Posters on the OFC. Are we encouraging to others to take part on the board or are we the only Website where 13 year old boys pretend to be 45 year old men.
Favorite Truism: A room full of Guys can be shooting the bull, getting along great and in walks a Woman...
...it's every man for himself. I sure miss 10th grade! |

Something about 45 year-old men pretending to be 13 year-old boys, I think... |

I thought it was way old. Time moves in a strange way when you get old. Although I'm probably thinking of a completely differnet film. It was the oine with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby wasn't it? I'll swear I can hear Dorothy Lamour say that line. |

Location: Midland, MI | OK, my post 'only 1/2 the time' was a reference to the mythos of Persephone. Nothing sinister there, and nothing beyond the pale, as I'm not the one who gave Persephone the handle, she chose it herself. I assumed that an4340 was referring to said mythos when he said someone who has chosen the handle Persephone *may* have a problem with certain men on this board. I believe his comment was a direct reference to the mythical Persephone's marriage. If you're not familiar with the story of Persephone, find yourself a good library. ;)
On the most recent turn of topic...I actually own GPB on DVD. John Cusack is one of my favorite actors. His sister plays some hilarious characters in several of his movies, which is always a nice bonus.
And I'm sure I'm not the only one who's actually been in Grosse Pointe (Woods, Shores or proper). The people I've met and know in the Pointes are eerily similar to the characters in the movie. Brad could probably straighten me out on that as he lives much closer. ;) |

Location: Midland, MI | I think I should clarify...I wasn't implying anything negative about the Pointers, just that some of the caricatures from the movie are present. But, I suppose the same could be said about most locales...just that most locales haven't had movies made about them. ;) I could tell stories about Midland and what I call 'The Dow Wives'... |
