Since I've noticed many people posting compliments and such in the middle of the performance, where it is surely welcomed, I thought I would start up this topic where people can praise/critique the performance to their hearts content without fear of disruption. Enjoy.
-
Great idea Daniel! :)
Let me be the first to say that YOUNG JACK (Daniel) and YOUNG ENNIS (DeeDee) are doing a heck of a job!
(http://www.bioscop.cz/_web/_filmy/b_zkrocena_hora/fotografie/nahledy_nejvetsi/049_zkrocena_hora.jpg)
The two of you single-handedly sent the temperatures soaring by that TS2 action yesterday! ;D
Keep up the excellent work!
-
Glad you're enjoying it....
Dee and I are both enjoying this scene (TS2) as we can really demonstrate how meaningful it is, both to us and to the storyline.
-
Let me be the first to say that YOUNG JACK (Daniel) and YOUNG ENNIS (DeeDee) are doing a heck of a job!
Well, in that case let me be the second to say it! *Great* work you guys. I'm looking very much forward to more! :)
And also I'd like to praise Meryl for the saga of the High Priestess' experiences as a truly TALL pristess. Not to mention that transformation back to her true self. Woa! :o That was a wacky, creative and dizzying ride! Swirling colours and unexpected events, movements in every direction, one incarnation stranger than the next. A truly inventive voyage through life, the universe and everything - back to your wiser and happier true self. BRAVO! :D
Also big cheers and bravos to everyone else who contributes to making this the Brokeback experience bar none. Keep going! :) :-*
-
You guys are truly Twisted!
Sometimes I'm laughing so much, I can hardly stand it. ;)
The hilarity, the parody, the parallel process (poor Jack and Ennis are almost upstaged by lube and a cumrag, of all things; not to mention the randy Cigar Butt and singing Dumbass Mule). Then there's the downright bizarre HP, etc., and a creative and eager supporting cast.
At the rate that BrokenArsed is going, Ennis won't be offered any cherry cake until 2010.
You all deserve an Acade-Ray award.
I have to admit I check in several times a day. Look at the >10,000 views.
Keep it up.

Oh is that what all thost pictures and shriekings were???.... I couldn't tell.

What a great idea Daniel! I wish I'd thought of it...
Well I think you and DeeDee already know how much I love your performances as our beloved YOUNG JACK and YOUNG ENNIS, but I have only ever told you privately in the Green Room up until now. So I would like to tell you publicly here that I LOVE your portrayals of our beloved boys, you two just keep getting better and better and better.... You've got the channeling of Jack and Ennis down to an art, and SNIT is good and hot, it's perfect!
And as for the rest of our stupendous cast, I can't name you all for fear I inadvertently leave someone out, but I just want you to know that I think you are all doing a wonderful show! I love the show, and I love the humour! :laugh: :laugh: I keep wondering "where / how do you all plan all this stuff, where do you rehearse? This cannot all be spontaneous replies to one another, can it??" So far I have not been able to find your secret rehearsal hall... Can anyone figure out a way to invite the cast of the First Brokeback Mountain to come and view our little Masterpiece?

Actually, I was kinda wonderin' if there was a way to do just that... :)
I also think this would make a great off-broadway comedy/musical. It would of course have to be edited a little bit, but we're all on the floor laughing.
-
That thread is some high class entertainment, if you ask me!!! :laugh:
Good Job everybody!!! Especially Jack and Ennis! Gotta love you guys!! :-*

Here you see the Props Magician working hard all weekend, checking out new filming locations an all... ;D

Thanks, Daniel, for starting this thread. Great idea! 8) You and Dee Dee are doing a superb job with Jack and Ennis. We need a bowing smiley for you, but this will have to do :-*
Mikaela, MWAH! :-* to you for that nice review! Your Mika the Dumbass Mule is incredibly smart and a delight--I love what you've done with her! I appreciate the feedback. It's been so much fun just seeing where the HP will take me--I didn't at all expect to go so far when we started, but blame it on the FSD's delivering Heath to the HP's chambers. She started it! ;) ;D
Alec716 and saucycobblers--you guys are a brilliant (and sexy) team! Thanks for helping create the Relic Room adventures and for the inspired Ennis/Jack parallel tent scene. ;)
Must mention the wonderfulness of Ray's Director, Celeste's FSD, Sashca's Cigar Butt/Jack's Pants, Pipedream's Owl/Props Magician and Lucise's Indapaddock, Ellemeno's Wind/Asst. Director, Jenny's LSP Mare, JakeTwist's Continuity Director and Atz75's Sun/Moon, among the many outstanding efforts. Thanks to you all for lots of laughs and a few tears. :-*
Becky, who knew what your Casting Thread would morph into, thanks to Ray? This 'production' has been unique in my internet experience, and more fun than anything. I've described it as a piece of living folk art. Whatever it is, it's a hoot. 8)
-
I'm very glad U started this thread becuz I wanted to tell U all that the Sheepherding Chilean Filmlovers Society (SCFLS, or "Scofflaws") is just about to announce their nominees for the acclaimed Lambie awards!!!!! Stay tuned, award categories will be included for shameless scenestealing, most beloved prop, best use of bandwidth, and many many more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Everyone is farking brilliant, as the esteemed Director might say. And to name one is to exclude another, so I will do neither. But this is an incredible work of improvisation.
The fundamental rule of improv is to ALWAYS say to the other, "yes, and..." Whatever comes up, to simply say yes and use the energy offered. To say "no, but..." is to kill the flow of energy and bring the performance to a stand still.
BRAVO to everyone for always saying 'yes' to each other. Whatever has emerged, whatever has been posted, has been met with a hearty 'yes' by the next one posting. No judgement, no witholding, no censorships or sanctions. Just an absolute 'yes' to moving forward in whatever direction inspiration provides.
This is the essence of relationship and community that stays open and alive. With that 'yes' anything at all becomes possible ~ in ourselves, on this thread, in relationships and in this community.
Thank you each individually for your contribution to this amazing work of...art, life, love.
-
Meryl and Celeste ~
I second your thoughts there!
I guess I was too lazy to type it all out! :P
The production is a blast and i am having way too much fun LOL at some of the posts and participating in the fun! And just think, we are only at the second tent scene! There is tons more fun on the way!
Yeehaw!! ;D
-
Thanks Daniel, for starting this thread. It's a great idea, and obviously we can't stop tripping over each other to praise our beloved cast and crew...
oh where to begin? I credit the perf thread with giving me a perma-smile more times this summer than I can count. Damn you perf thread! for bein so effing hilarious and so whacked out that it gives me hope for this crazy world. ANd now I will attempt to convey the appreciation I feel for everyone in this blessed production...
Lucise, your never ending posts of sheep photos as we waited for the action to begin had me entertained till, well, till the cows sheep came home, or got up on the mountain at least.
Daniel, my god boy, you got so much talent n' love n' musical numbers up yer sleeve, I just didn't know you had it in ya (yeah I did, I fuckin knew it). Keep up the good work!
DeeDee, who stepped up to the plate in a big way: I'm liking your sweet Ennis and his internal commentary. A whole new side of him, and you guys are truly great together. It's so fun to see this unfold with you holdin the reins.
Great job Courtney for the understudy of Ennis! We couldn't a kept goin without cha; good job little girl!
Alec, you are one of a kind. And with that first post, you might've just won yourself the Acada-Ray award for best performance by an inanimate object. I don't think I've witnessed so many scene-stealing cameos, reference-filled monologues, or double-entendres since the beginning of time. I'm so glad that JBB has come along to play counterpoint to you (even if she did try to take Jack away from me >:(), and you guys make the cutest couple! (Really, JBB, I can't blame ya, and you're indispensible to the production! (well, you're dispensible, cause you're a tube of body butter, but, well, you know what I mean.)
Man, the list goes on and on...The Wind, so timely and wistful (with her Cat Stevens and Kansas covers); the Moon--so sincere and beautiful; Jack's Pants--so aware of their good fortune (and jumping in at all the right times to give us an insider's view on all that action!);
Cigar Butt and Mika the Musical Dumbass Mule--great sub plot!! Great character development--Bravo!; Aguirre--so perfectly twisted in your Mr Potatohead animation and show-tune bravado;
Meryl--I love the demented way you've allowed the High Priestess to reign with her wild streak showing and freak flag flyin'...though glad to have you back to yourself after that breathless ride; FSD--words can never do justice to the thanks I have for your talents, always presented at just the right times, and in so many fascinating ways;
to the Continutity Director--for keeping us on track, THANK YOU!; to the Owls for their grouchy humor, and the Props Magician--this production would be nothing without your brilliant care of the cast and crew--feeding us, taking us to the spa, leading us through rituals of yoga and prayer, etc, etc;
to Mr. Raymille for his on-set direction, the illustration of his vision, his sexy casting skills, his humorous interjections as the blades of grass and judges, and his perfect inclusion of the kettle's thoughts during TS1;
To BECKY for starting it all in April--who would have ever known we could go so far--I didn't! Brilliant peeing and dying skills too, my dear.
To the Blue Heeler for your singing and your consistency with remembering your lines; to the Basque and the Bear for playing your crucial parts even AFTER the fact; to Julie for describing your role as the saliva string with such detail and love; to the stick hitting the coffee pot--you did so much with your brief 15 seconds of fame!
To the gods of Broken Arsed Mountain for blessing this whole crazy production, and if I left anyone out--forgive me! Everyone has been so brilliant and fun to work with! I've loved the ego trip I'm ridin as the LSP Horse. Wouldn't change a thing.
Let the show go on!
-
Wow Jenny!
What excellent reviews and what a sweet post! :-*
Right you are, the show goes on! ;)
-
I just want to offer a great big BRAVO to everyone for all their E*X*C*E*L*L*E*N*T work to date! We have the absolute best cast and crew anywhere. bar none. :laugh:
-
:) :D ::) 8) :-* We L:-*ve Us! :-* 8) ::) :D :)
-
Thanks Jen for the kind words. Now I will say, never in the history of the cinema, have there been a better horse.
You're take on LSP, is dead on. You're funny and brilliant in your posts. Had many laughs with that. Keep up the "fun" work!
-
There is a nice German word for the thing we are doing here: Selbstbeweihräucherung!
It means that we are censing ourselves (= blow our own trumpet), and rightly so, I say! ;D

Let's keep it going!
In honour of the occasion, I've weeded a bit through my music collection again... ;)

All you guys and gals deserve a round of applause. I lurk over there from time to time, in particular follow Ennis and Jack's new moves. It always brightens up a day. So thank you!!!

This thread is definitely the best fun to be had with a piece of... er... hardware and a modem ;D ;D ;D
After gentle encouragement from some kind folks in the chatroom I brought JBB to life, fully expecting to have only the briefest of times in the spotlight, but instead I found a wonderfully warped partner in my bud Terry Cloth. Now I can't imagine not having my daily fix of THE PERFORMANCE.
But... ahem... enough about me. This thread is where I can show my appreciation of those whose lines have tickled my fancy in oh so many varied ways :laugh: :P.
To the finest of ensemble casts... I thank you.
To Lucise... for the inspired creation that is Indapaddock :laugh:.
To Pipedream... for the wonderful Owl family - love those photos (where do you find them?). And LOVING the musical interludes :D.
To Meryl... my guts have regularly ached from laughing at the crazy antics of HP. You have a Monty Python sized imagination there :laugh:.
To Daniel... *fans self with magazine*. As I said on the thread, if you ain't already writing those steamy novels none of us ever admit to reading (Ah, yes... I'm reading 'War & Peace'. The Snooty Edition is such a fine translation you know *cough, cough* ;)), then you sure as hell should be. You and DeeDee are sure raisin' the temperature in this room...
And lastly, but definitely not leastly, to the gorgeous Alec - my partner in crime grime - who inspires me to ever new heights of silliness :-*.
Take a bow...

Music for TS2.... Well there has been a large amount of debate among the performers/directors of TS2, as to what music would be best suited to this scene.
We have Dee's "This Magic Moment"
http://www.accessyourinnerlight.com/JacksMagicMoment.mp3 (http://www.accessyourinnerlight.com/JacksMagicMoment.mp3)
Jane wanted something romantic and dreamy, which made me think of "On Your Shore"
http://www.dreamfilminstitute.com/shore.mp3 (http://www.dreamfilminstitute.com/shore.mp3)
Strange how my heart beats
To find myself upon your shore.
Strange how I still feel
My loss of comfort gone before.
Cool waves wash over
and drift away with dreams of youth.
So time is stolen
I cannot hold you long enough.
And so
This is where I should be now.
Days and nights falling by.
Days and nights falling by me.
I know of a dream I should be holding.
Days and nights falling by.
Days and nights falling by me.
Soft blue horizons
reach far into my childhood days
as you are rising
to bring me my forgotten ways.
Strange how I falter
to find I'm standing in deep water.
Strange how my heart beats
to find I'm standing on your shore.
And of course, my recommendation: "When Two Become One" by Sarah Connor, which we're still trying to download.

Alec and Nicky, you are outdoing yourselves today! I am LOL at every post. Keep it up! Er, well, you know what I mean. ;D

Hello Anke:
I just listened to this song again, and man-o-man what a beautiful song! Thank you so much for finding it for the Performance Thread Anke Spanke!! It fits perfectly! :-* :-* ;D

I wanna wake up with you
I wanna be there when you open your eyes
I want you to be
The first thing that I see
I wanna wake up with you
I wanna lay by your side, baby
I wanna feel every beat of your heart
And throughout the night
I wanna hold you tight
I wanna wake up with you
All the love inside me has been sleeping
Waiting till the right one came along
You can share the love that I've been keeping, baby
You can put the music to my song
I wanna wake up with you
I wanna reach out and know that you're there
I want you to be
The first thing that I see
I wanna wake up with you
And throughout the night
I wanna hold you tight

RE: Music for TS2
Hi DeeDee and Daniel, great show tonight, both of you! Just a quick note since we seem to be on different schedules these days, I wanted to let you know that IMO the need for a romantic dreamy song has been most successfully met by our fine and beloved Props Magician Anke Spanke. She included a most dreamy and romantic song "I Want To Wake Up With You" just a day or so ago, so there is no need to look any further for that particular style of song. And so, going forward (and backward!) I think both of you should feel free to insert any and all songs you choose to include, without hesitation.

Thank you, Jane! Glad you liked the song. I agree: everybody should just post what he/she feels like. Don't hesitate, even if it's the weirdest of all music!
This is supposed to be fun, isn't it? ;)
-
Well since this song was posted relatively close to the scene on the PT, I really don't see any need to go back and repaste it into one of ours.. :)
-
Holy snickers!
After meeting Daniel and the girls in the chat room a couple nights ago, I agreed I would look over THE PERFORMANCE. Well let me tell ya. I looked it over all right! It's taken me two whole days to read it from one hysterical line to another. It's the funniest most creative peice of collaberated work Iv'e ever read .I have laughed my butt off reading this.There are surely some of the most imaginative and funny and creative people on the planet working on this!
The only thing I did'nt like about it was this: My friend and I watched BBM last night again for the 20th time and I could'nt get The visions of all of your characters dramas {especially Terry and JBB] going on at the same time I could'nt get them out of my head!. I found myself in quite a uplifted comical mood watching the film {even broke out laughing quite a few times thinking about ya all} instead of my usual serious BBM mood. My bud asked me a couple times what was so funny and I told him he has got to read THE PERFORMANCE and he would understand. I just hope that this has not turned BBM into a comedy for me. But I guess if it has I have gotten my share of gloom and doom out of the movie anyways.
Point is...I love your new version! It's really the funniest thing. You should all be really proud of yourselves. And the love scenes....whew! Can't wait to have some more of this.
Oh and Lucise: you are hysterical!
Now get back to work...I need more!!!
-
Glad as I can be to partake in all this merriment and creative co-llaboration with you people. I'm loving every minute of it.
Now, my question is, does anyone else have a hard time downloading the audio files? I've tried switching from Real Player to Windows Media player and I still can't get anything to play. Help!
Jenny/LSP horse
-
Thank you so much for those kind words. We are having a blast doing this. The imaginations of these people blow me away.
BBM has been such a serious issue for all of us for a long time. I like to think that Ray started this to lighten things up a bit.
I, for one would never have thought that I would have to pretend to be a gay man in denial, but hey, why not? A tube of butter and a warshrag are having affair, the dogs and the horses have vocal opinions, the owls are cheating on each other and the sheep are peeing everywhere.
As for the love scenes, what can I say? Practice makes perfect! ;)
-
This is absolutely one of the best threads EVER. Everyone is hilarious. Aren't we glad Dee didn't just be an audience member like she had planned?
Jenny, I download the audio files with Windows Media Player with no problem. I wish I could help you!
(Dee, you and I are "the girls" now! ;D)
-
Can't forget about me... What d'ya'll think about starting a music group:
"Daniel and the Girls"
-
lol! :laugh: And you three will always be.."Daniel and the Girls" to me. 8)

I think we should give our own Lee (FrontRanger) a round of applause for stepping in and giving the performance of a lifetime as the cranky, ugly Aguirre.
And also to our own Courtney for her disappearing log performance.
Kudos to you both!!!

I'm loving all the subplot action, especially Owlma and Oscar's breakup, followed by Terry Cloth's abduction! Am intrigued as well to discover that Joe Aguirre and Uncle Harold have a past. And bravo to louisev for the studly Coyote and to Courtney for her (dis)appearance as the log! 8)
-
Thank U, thank U. I would bow but I'm too fat to bend in the middle. Courtney, U brought a whole new dimension to the splitting log role. I'll never think of U as a 2 x 4 again. I humbly like to think I might have made people think differently of Aguirre and his history on Brokeback Mountain; after all it was 20 years since he started on BBM as a lowly herder himself, with a hunky guy named Harold as the camp tender... And now, on to my Chilean Sheepherder role. Thanks very much to Lynne for stepping in as SHEEPHERDER #2 since Fuzzy has been off on holiday (we think). But Fuzzy, if you get back, join in since it's a three-woman tent. Speaking of our tent, what's going on, it seems to be occupied. Watch out for "Someone's been eating my
porridge er, potage" and "Someone's been sleeping in my bed!!"

Yap loving the subplots too! ;D
We also have a new Marketing Director: Guy Raphaelson, what stunning eyes! :P
He seems to be working rather closely with the Sheep Trainer, Indapaddock lately...
So we'll see how their business collaboration works out ...

Looks like Mr. Indappadock is neglectin' his woolies a bit lately, ain't it?
Hey Coyote! That's yer chance!!! ;D

Hey guys an' girls!! Thanks for inserting all those scenes the original movie didn't have: Tent Scene 3 (wow!), the meeting between the Markteting Advisor and the Sheep Wrangler (to say it with Lucise Indappadock: holy Hannah!), the adventures of the disappearing log and the hailstone, the Chilean sheep herders... :laugh:
Terrific! I'm looking forward to more! :)

;D

I'm so behind on the thread, due to some other matters I've been attending to ;), but hey, I laugh just as hard when I come here! And I get the condensed version of it all. Bravo to all who are keeping the show going strong--Chris would want it that way.
Jenny ;D
-
Don't worry, Jenny, we know you'll catch up... Almost time ta come off the mountain'.... Unless Jack and Ennis do somethin' really rash, and Ennis has been gettin' a little distant, so that elopin' may not happen.
-
Okay, I'm going to say to myself what most of the critics are wanting to say right now...
QUIT HOGGING THE PERFORMANCE THREAD.
To be honest, people. I am very sorry. I've created a monster that is trying to be heard, and I didn't realize how much he needed to be heard til a day or two ago.... Also with Dee having limited availabillity to post as Ennis, and other parts not yet being filled, a fella addicted to the Performance Thread can get downright bored. So that's my reason... Still not an excuse.
I have no life... It's kinda pathetic that I rush to get on my computer when I get home from work and click on the Home button every two minutes to see if anyone has posted anything on the PT. I think its one of the most interesting, creative, humorous, sorrowful, loving, exasperating, and deeply emotional thing I've ever participated in.... But when it becomes an addiction, maybe I need to back off some.
Celeste said something to me a long time ago... She said that I dream as Jack, and I really empathized with that statement. Over the process of the performance, I gradually found myself losing my own identity in Jack's. I was channeling Jack, but Jack was taking over. In part, Guy is a reaction to this loss of self, a reemergence of my own identity (at least in part), until he became rather emotionally complex and also obtained a life of his own that was not controlled as much by myself as I would have liked.
And then the thing with Chris stunned us all. In the midst of my despair, I continued to post as Guy, this beautifully emotionally complex (beautifully flawed as Milli says) person so that I could figure out and sort my own emotions. The performance of Guy became therapeutic for me in this sharp and painful moment, and I went with the flow... Regretfully, I allowed it to completely take over.
So I would like to apologize to you all here and to everyone who posts on the performance thread. It was very selfish of me to monopolize the thread in that way. I would also like to apologize to Milli for turning something which could have been very simple into something more complex than any of us need right now. That was also selfish of me, but not entirely my fault. Posting on this thread has brought a deep emotional creativity in me and it seems that any time I post anything I am using it with full attention. It doesn't make posting easier, but it does make it deeper.
I would like to thank everyone who has said a kind word here about any of my characters or performances. I will of course continue to be a part of the performance thread, but hopefully will find something more lively to engage myself in when I'm not here. Right now, I don't see many things that are more lively than the performance thread thanks to all you wonderful people. Television? Pfah! Boring! It's also great because its an inexpensive hobby; I do have others, but they are less inexpensive, and money is not something I have much of right now. It mostly goes to my debtors.
Cheers and Bravo to everyone here, performer and audience member alike. This thread has come to mean a great deal to me, and it's because of the people like you, who I have come to admire and love over such a short time. Right now, you are my truest friends, and understand me better than anyone else in the world. That's what I've always wanted to have in my friendships.
-
We have enjoyed every moment and no apologies needed. On with the show! as you said to Chris. This is xactly what we all need right now. Vamos! Amigo!
-
Danny Danny! You already know how I feel about Lucise and Guy ...
In case others feel like we've been hugging the thread ..Sorry :P, while the main characters are otherwise occupied, the sub-plots can get carried away.. ;)
Look for more from Indapaddock and Raphaelson, it aint over .. yet! And ..there are still Broken Arsed Woolen Ecstacy products to sell .. :P
-
Are you crazy to apologize for making our day, Daniel? I love the Sheep Trainer/Marketing Advisor subplot! See, I should have started to work half an hour ago, but here I sit, reading through those adventures, smiling and sometimes laughing out loud...
Keep it going!
;D

Daniel -
You've come alive and become part of this community in a way you never were before the PT. You have begun to use every part of your mind and heart - not just poetry and prose, but creativity and humor and lightness and fun and a panopoly of other qualities. And you have done it in conjunction with others, not as another solitary pursuit. So maybe this is just what was needed - a way for you to connect that is safe and wonderful and gives you a chance to be a better you.
Please don't dminish what you have done/what has happened here with an apology. You have a life - maybe it's been a very interior one, and now it's starting to emerge ~ to sneak out of your mind and heart into the real world and into relationship with real people. Which I can only think is a cause for celebration. This isn't the end of an addiction - it's the beginning of a new you, and you are surrounded by people who are enjoying it as much as you.
Maybe what you're seeing here is that your need for expression is bigger than one role on-line. And maybe bigger than even two of them. And that maybe there's not limit on the possibilities that this points the way toward. I can't wait to see what'll be next for you - in the PT certainly, but also in your life. So - don't think you need to shut down something that's just opening up here. This is just the start of the really good stuff.

Daniel, Daniel Daniel if you must apologise, then apologise for your real crime, out shining us all with your creativitivty, sensitivity and your incredible acting skills. I am far more interested in Guy and Lucise right now than in Ennis and Jack. LOL You are WONDERFUL, hog away, if I don't get my Guy and Lucise fix everyday I'm gonna picket! ;)... That sub plot is the hottest thing around and it's tender and caring at the same time. Love it!
You are not alone anymore Daniel you have connected with this community and are a vital contributing member don't you forget that your friends here won't .
-
Hey Daniel, you already know how much I love the Guy & Lucise sub-plot - i can't get enough of it! The thing is that this thread is a democratic space where all are free to post as much, or as little, as they like without fear of reprisal or judgement. If anybody (and I don't think there is anybody) objected to your 'hogging' the PT then it's really up to them to get posting and grab themselves a piece of the action. People like you keep the thread going and keep it vital and alive. I love your posts and I think your writing is fantastic - now GET TO IT 'cos I'm moving next Tuesday and won't have internet for a while, so if you leave me without even a Guy and Lucise kiss to be going on with then I will have something to say about it!!! ;) ;D ;)
-
Ahem... two things:
1. Mel and Amanda as Snow & Sun - WHAT a double-act... farkeen brilliant!! You two have had me in stitches the last coupla days!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
2. The Guy & Lucise sub-plot is now pluckin' at me heart strings instead of my funny bone. I actually had a lump in my throat reading the latest developments! You guys!! I'm already weepy enough over Chris! And WHEN are we gonna get a kiss outa you two???? :D
-
Lucise seems to have stepped out for the day. :( :( :( :( :'( :'( :'(
Hopefully the last Guy post was a little funny. It was kinda intended to be.
-
Hey, don't get me wrong Daniel, that wasn't meant as a criticism - quite the opposite. That last post was indeed chucklesome, but at the same time Guy's nerdiness is very touching. Hey man, that's no easy thing to pull off - kudos to you and Milli!
-
I loved Ray's addition of the snow dance/ice dance. ;D ;D ;D
(And thanks, saucy! :) )
-
I love the SNOW and SUN act too! ;D
You ladies ..tsk tsk ..
Fancy having the SNOW piling tons of herself infront of Lucise's trailer, and refusing to melt! LOL ... excellent!
Nicky - cheers for the review! ;)
-
(Geez, has anyone else had their e-mail prompts for certain threads poop out on them? I hadn't seen all these new posts in the lastr 3 days!)
Daniel and Milli, I've been loving the soap opera that is Guy and Lucise. Don't worry about hogging the thread--just give us our fix, already. ;D
Daniel, it's great that you've got an outlet for all that creative talent that's in there! I was amazed myself at some of the stuff the High Priestess got me into. This thread is the most fun thing I've seen anywhere on the net. The more the merrier, I say. :D
And I bow to the humor and creativity of everyone who's jumped in and made this BrokenArse place so much fun to visit, from horny hygiene products to prima donna forces of nature to wacky Feng Shui experts and smart-ass birds and beasties. Bravissimi!! ;D
-
I just wanted to point out that this thread doesn't all have to be praise and positive feedback; if you have anything to suggest to make the performance flow smoother or more entertaining, here's the place to do it.
-
AND i just want to point out= if it ain't broke don't fix it. I posted this on your Poll Daniel but thought I'd add it here as well....
One critical thing to remember the Production of Broke Arsed Mountain was NEVER intended to be a true telling of the story of Jack & Ennis, excuse me folks but that's already be done and far better than any of us could ever dream of telling it. It is a joke, a parody, a caricature.
It was never supposed to be serious, It was RAY our currently absent Court Jester who started it after all, ;) it is a cartoon if you will, that involves not only the plot lines of the story Brokeback Mountain but the stories and sub-plots of Broke Arsed Mountain the crazy folks trying to make the movie....Get IT. It's certainly no different than all that Fan Fiction that some folks are so addicted to that bears absolute no resemblance to Brokeback Mountain or Jack and Ennis in anyway...many of those stories put words in Ennis Del Mar's mouth that he just would NEVER have been able to say out loud if he could even have allowed himself to think them.
SO far I think everyone involved is brillant and fiercely creative. No apologies necessary, no changes needed as far as I am concerned. It's kind of like that Lines Visualized thread there were only a handful of folks who ever posted on it but dozens who enjoyed reading it everyday. I personally say "Let Be" I would not change a thing. In the climate around here the last few weeks it was and continues to be a much need ray of sunshine and good old fashioned fun.
Just my opinion
-
Now that Our Boys are coming down with the sheep and we are about to separate into scenes taking place in either Texas or Wyoming, has anyone got a sense of where our BrokenArse film crew should be at any given time?
Til now, there's been a sense that we are indeed filming in Wyoming, although the real movie was filmed in Alberta. Should we pretend we have crews in both Texas and Wyoming and travel between them according to what scene we're on, or should we pretend that we're all in one place and shooting scenes that look like they're in Texas or Wyoming?
I have a gut feeling that we should pretend to be in both real places, which gives the characters more reality. What do y'all think?
If we commute, I think the HP and Mr. Raymille are each going to need their own corporate jet. I'm just sayin'. ;D

Just spoke to the FSD, and she decided, because she can, we should use a green screen for the purpose of using any background.
-
How about instant teleportation.... Always wanted to try that.
-
Teleportation. Now that would make those fourteen hours drives easier, huh. ;D
Redlined it all the way... well, actually, I just stepped into the transporter and clicked my ruby slippers and said "There's no place like with Ennis..." and here I am!
-
Well there is a red line display on the teleportation meter...
-
Knowing us, I vote we use:
The green screen
The teleporter
The corporate jets
and more.

I was glad to see our beloved Continuity Director resurface today. ((((JakeTwist)))) :-*
I was a little concerned, though, about the advice to players to hold off during Jack/Ennis scenes. Just my opinion, but I think people should feel free to post during those exchanges. Often, they enhance them with pictures or expand on them a little. But even if they post something wildly different, I don't think it's bad. The human mind is perfectly capable of carrying on with the Jack/Ennis stuff after a break. Sometimes it takes forever for those two to reply to each other ;), and if someone has something to say before they need to log off, they should be able to. Restrictions of any kind in the thread tend to make me uncomfortable. Just my two cents. ;)

I agree with Her Royal HP here. ;)
The craziness on the thread is what makes it unique! Mish-mash the scenes, I say!
Beautiful chaos if you ask me!
-
I agree with Her Royal HP here. ;)
And I agree with Milli agreeing with Meryl. :)
-
I agree with Meryl, with one small caveat. I think it's special when Jack and Ennis get to some lovin, hell, there ain't never enough lovin, never enough, ::) and I kinda like that it be honoured and not be diluted with distractin posts. But hey, that's just me.
Please don't get me wrong, I LOVE ALL of our Performers, I just was asking for Jack and Ennis' love scenes to remain special, is all. However, if the majority feel different, well so be it. It'd sure be nice if someone would agree with me just one time though! :)
So I am fine with everyone doing just what they want, hey I love the PT more than any of you! And I ain't jokin!
Jane
-
It'd sure be nice if someone would agree with me just one time though! :)
The life of a Continuity Director cain't be an easy one! ;)
Let's see, when is the next E & J love scene ? ..In 4 years time!! :o
Heck, I'm sure by then, we'll all be so starved of some E&J action that we'll just butt the heck out of anything we are lucky enough to get! ;D
-
I have a feeling a "twist" might be coming.... ;)

4 years til that scene, Dee.

Everyone needs to hear this beautiful song. Daniel found it and I agree, that if there was ever a song depicting TS2, this is the one.

The Dark Night of the Soul
Upon a darkened night
The flame of love was burning in my breast.
And by a lantern bright,
I fled my house while all in quiet rest.
Shrouded by the night
And by the secret stair I quickly fled.
The veil concealed my eyes
While all within lay quiet as the dead.
Oh night, thou was my guide.
Oh night more loving than the rising sun.
Oh night that joined the lover
to the beloved one,
Transforming each of them into the other.
Upon that misty night
In secrecy, beyond such mortal sight,
Without a guide or light
Than that which burned so deeply in my heart.
That fire 'twas led me on
And shone more bright than of the midday sun
To where he waited still
It was a place where no one else could come.
Oh night, thou was my guide.
Oh night more loving than the rising sun.
Oh night that joined the lover
to the beloved one,
Transforming each of them into the other.
Within my pounding heart
Which kept itself entirely for him.
He fell into his sleep
Beneath the cedars all my love I gave.
And by the fortress walls
The wind would brush his hair against his brow
And with its smoothest hand
Caressed my every sense it would allow.
Oh night, thou was my guide.
Oh night more loving than the rising sun.
Oh night that joined the lover
to the beloved one,
Transforming each of them into the other.
I lost myself to him
And laid my face upon my lover's breast,
And care and grief grew dim,
As in the morning's mist became the light.
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair.
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair.
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair.
Lyrics by St. John of the Cross (15th Century)
Arranged and Adapted by Loreena McKennitt.

Thanks so much, Daniel! Beautiful words, and very evocative of Ennis's journey. Here are two excerpts I found from Wikipedia that give some background:
The term and metaphysicality of the phrase "dark night of the soul" are taken from the writings of the Spanish poet and Roman Catholic mystic Saint John of the Cross, a Carmelite priest in the 16th century. Dark Night of the Soul is the name of both a poem, and a commentary on that poem, and are among the Carmelite priest's most famous writings. They tell of his mystic development and the stages he went through on his quest for holiness.
The "dark night" could generally be described as a letting go of our ego's hold on the psyche, making room for change that can bring about a complete transformation of a person's way of defining his/her self and their relationship to God. The interim period can be frightening, hence the perceived "darkness". In the Christian tradition, during the "dark night" one who has developed a strong prayer life and consistent devotion to God suddenly finds traditional prayer extremely difficult and unrewarding for an extended period of time. The individual may feel as though God has suddenly abandoned them, or that their prayer life has collapsed.
Rather than being a negative event, the dark night is believed by mystics and others to be a blessing in disguise where the individual is trained to grow from vocal and mental prayer, to a deeper contemplative prayer of the soul. Particularly in Christianity, it is seen as a severe test of one's faith. The Dark Night comes in two phases: a first "Night of the Senses," and a second "Night of the Spirit."
***********
Dark Night of the Soul (from which the spiritual term Dark Night of the Soul takes its name) narrates the journey of the soul from her bodily home to her union with God. It happens during the night, which represents the hardships and difficulties she meets in detachment from the world and reaching the light of the union with the Creator. There are several steps in this night, which are related in successive stanzas.
-
Yes, I have the book also... Dark Night of the Soul, its been very helpful at times in identifying spiritual weaknesses, but what is particular about this rendition is that she transforms it almost completely into a love song which is evocative of the entire second tent scene in my opinion... through the magic of contextual metaphor.
That's the beautiful thing about metaphors, they can be interpeted in more than one way... This is from the CD booklet included with the CD that this comes from:
"May 1993 - Stratford.... have been reading through the poetry of 15th Century Spain, and I find myself drawn to one by the mystic writer and visionary St. John of the Cross: the untitled work is an exquisite, richly metaphoric love poem between himself and his god. It could pass as a love peom between any two at any time. His approach seems more akin to early Islamic or Judaic works in its more direct route of communication to his god... I have gone over three different translations of the poem, and am struck by how much a translation can alter our interpretation. Am reminded that most holy scriptures come to us in translation, resulting in a diversity of views."
Who can pay attention to all that stuff when you're in the beauty of the moment, huh? :)
But since we're talking about this, I would love to point out how much of a spiritual connection is created in the two tent scenes.
a first "Night of the Senses," and a second "Night of the Spirit." -----> TS1, TS2
I feel like I should be posting this in my Spiritual Nonsense thread.

Yes, I love that. It makes the song even more appropriate. 8)
-
But actually, learning to love is the ego letting go of the psyche, learning to not covet being and to just be. It is a difficult process for most people but it is related to the peak experience and self actualization process.... okay, this is getting too philosophical/psychospiritual... look for my book this November: Dreamfilm: Brokeback Mountain Explored
I'll now return you to your normally scheduled Performance thread discussions.

I really loved listening to O Fortuna which Anke posted at just the right place; everybody listen to it while U review the last few pages of the performance. Also, is everybody in agreement that it's great to have Alec back!! I couldn't stop laughing at his latest post about the High Priestess and the return of warshrag!!
-

Yes, I agree it is great to have WARSHRAG back, but for how long?? ??? I for one sure missed his loopy escapades, but I sure was not alone in that regard! Somehow someone hacked into Raymille's Blackberry a week ago, and Raymille's address book is now out on the ww for all the world to see! :o Since Tuesday my phone has been ringin non-stop with distraught fans wantin to know "what has happened to TERRY CLOTH?" (why did that durn rag change his name?)
And it is not only teenage tubes callin either, but the press, and even Bollywood (or was that Hollywood?) producers! It behoves me to be a name-dropper, so I will refrain from givin away their names, hell, I shouldn't even be sharing this information, ------ never mind.... :-X
Umm yeah great to have you back WARSHRAG!! Don't be late for your next scene! :P

Thanks Lee! At first, I wanted to post that music when Ennis and Jack actually part. But your post gave me a nice opportunity to come up with it a little earlier... ;)
Yeah, it's good to have the warshrag back. And: welcome aboard Lureen!! :laugh:

What a beautiful poem, Meryl! Thanks for posting that! :-*

Google is my best friend Mika! ;)
I also have tons of pictures of all kinds of crap sitting on my home computer! ::)
Alot of 'em have come in handy on the PT!

What Lucise said about Google. But make sure you click on the "Images" option to get the pictures. 8)

OK, guys, thank you. :) Google it is..... but what about copyright issues? Or should I rather not ask?

Mika, the second thing you said...

Thanks. S'alright. :)

Our Fabulous Former Cast Members
They took the part, and for a brief time, made it their own
Ennis, jumping out of truck in Signal - Brandon (who introduced the infamous apple)
Jack - Courtney
Ennis, looking up at Jack from the river, meeting the Basque, chasing the mules, the made-up shooting lesson, finding the bananas, and the first attempt at cooking them - Courtney
e-Bay Trader - ?
Aguirre – David (TheStudDuck)
Xcellent early performances by blades of grass, wind, sheep wrangler, Jack's pants, and the truck driver. Ennis makes his entrance in post #48. Aguirre shows up at pst #67 with a load of friends. Then we see Jack leaving Lightning Flat, with his dad making a few salty comments, his mom silently agonizing. Tootie and Elizabeth find the apple that Ennis tosses, and the grass flips the bird to Ennis. Cassie, Randall, LaShawn and Alma make appearances. The props magician, casting director, Feng Shui director, et. al work tirelessly to populate the set and make Mr. Raymille, the director, comfortable in a lavish tent. Then, in the early 100s, Ennis disappears so everybody works on the set and their tents until Dee steps in at post #165. Thruout, the sheep turn blue, get plastered, and coyotes play leapfrog on them. The sheep trainer takes off, leaving a Mongolian assistant in charge. Pause for scene from West Side Story, with Jack playing Maria (#225). The high priestess adjusts her chi with Heath's help. As the boys head up to the mountain, music from Oklahoma starts (#325), a catered party is thrown, and the director hires Statler and Waldorf as cast psychologists (the crew don't need no shrinks!). The Basque shows up and now everybody can go. The moon and Jack have a love spat, and Jack's lower lip licks itself. Finally at #420, Terry Clothe, aka warshrag appears! Low startle point (LSP) horse and Mika Dumbass Mule cavort and Raymille and FSD feud until about #490 when Courtney steps in as Ennis while Dee parties. At #515 LSP begins its famous twirl. All of a sudden, the Jolly Minister appears and says a benediction. Pause to celebrate Elle's
birthday. Finally, Chris the producer appears to get people back on schedule at #632. At #694 Leslie the blue heeler checks in. On June 26 at 12:03 a.m. (#722), the Basque says "Too early to be sick of beans." Jack and Ennis go to kill an elk or bear, and gather some bananas. Dee reprises her role around #800, and just when it's time for the climactic warshrag scene, Terry Clothe is e-jacked and put up for auction! He escapes to play his big scene, and Ennis warshes until oh about #938. Jack's body butter appears just in time and everybody assembles for the big TS1, when at #1066 the continuity director passes along director's orders to slow down!! Leading to virtuoso performances from the moon, Mika and CB, LSP, Terry and the owls, FSD and High Priestess, and Jack's pants and zipper. Finally at #1185 it gets underway w/o Raymille while Terry and JBB also tangle. Their communion rouses the High Priestess to new heights, the sun and the moon to fuse, and the blue heeler to sing Good Mornin from Singing in the Rain. TS2 happens around #1345 and a coyote finally appears, as well as marketing director Guy Raphaelson, in the early 1400s. About 50 post later, Aguirre spies the happy tussle, and the Owl kidnaps TC again. Lucise and Guy plot to sign marketing agreements with the cast, hailstones fall, leading to TS3 (Yippee!) and the Chileans and gringos sort out the sheep. Owlma checks into the hospitowl and TC and JBB are back together again momentarily until JBB Ends up in Germany somewheres. The entire cast and crew holds a vigil for beloved producer Chris. The wind and snow throw hissy fits. There's a big leaving-the-mountain party. Aguirre blows up and bestows the curse of BrokenArsed on Ennis. Lureen appears at #1882! Ennis and Jack finally part at #1955 and the weddin takes place... Whew! Okay, audience, U have no more excuses. Now back to the theatah!!

OUTSTANDING SUMMATION!!! TAKE A BOW, LEE!!! 8) 8) 8)
*Enthusiastic applause, whistling and stomping from Cast, Crew and Audience*
ON WITH THE SHOW!!! :D :P ;D

What Meryl said!! :D :D :D

Thank kew! (Wavin' to the girls in the stands)
-
What an amazing summation! Thanks Lee! :-* :-*

Lee, you took the words right out of my mouth.. :laugh:
-
Thank kew! (Wavin' to the girls in the stands)
LOL... you sure know how to make a simple warshrag from the 99 cent bin at the PenteCostCo feel like a star! :-*

Bravo Timmy!! We want to see more of you! :laugh:

But, errr.... what in the hell happened to Ennis' and Alma's honeymoon?? No snow? No sleighride?? ???

** Why, thank you, thank you kindly!!**
-
Lee,
I LOVE that Joe and Hal are going up on Brokeback again. And I love the back of Aguirre's clipboard too.
Clarissa
-
Why thank you! Let's hope Aguirre will lose a bit of his old crustiness up on Brokeback cavorting with Hal and the sheep... all's well that ends well, as Timmy would say! And now, xcuse me, the call has gone out for Alma again...whew! this dramatic life is grueling! I had no idea!!

I'm responding to this so as to better access it in my archive of posts. Ya see, I love me some plumber's butt, and many of the delicious previous examples proffered to illustrate Timmy in full glory have been impertinently censored. So here's to you, Timmy, and all Timmies everywhere! If this kind of crack kills, it's surely in the most delightful way!

Scott, your post made me crack a smile. Just clarification - that censoring was probably at the image hosting thingie, NOT here at BetterMost. There are no restrictions on PB here.

(http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h269/merylmarie/BBMLinesVisualized/BrokeArseMountain/buttcrack.jpg)
LEE, thanks for showing us the softer side of AGUIRRE. And it seems that ALMA and TIMMY have more in common than we thought, in one area at least. ;D
-
Kudos to Scott (moremojo) and j.U.d.E. for their cameos as JIMBO and the BARTENDER! We'd like to see more of you guys--there are still some roles left in future scenes. 8)
And thanks (I think) to BIMBO and MICHAEL JACKSON for adding a certain je ne sais quoi to the proceedings. :P
THE BULL is way cool. ;D
More MONROE, please! :D
-
Aw...thanks, meryl (is there an emoticon for blushing?)! I had fun with my Jimbo impersonation, and tell you what, Bimbo took me as much by surprise as she did poor Jimbo. Continued kudos to all involved, and special additional kisses and flowers thrown to Daniel and DeeDee, for their beautiful interpretations of our lovelorn mountain boys.
Still resting up in the green room,
Scott
-
Thanks to Scott and Daniel for being such good sports about Michael Jackson's, um, shall we say, socially inept clowning around during your scene. I have no idea how any of those posts happened.... ;)
And ditto to everyting Meryl said!
-
Awwww....go on with your cute selves.
;)
-
Yeah, what she said.
Still don't think Bimbo's right for him.
-
Sorry Jack, Jimbo and Bimbo have married...
(http://z.about.com/d/urbanlegends/1/0/W/7/wedding1_sm.jpg)
-
:o :o :o
Well, let's hope they're happy. But I still like to think that Jimbo will always have a soft spot in his weatherbeaten heart for Jack, and will be haunted by what-ifs...he'll reminisce fondly of a Wyoming cowboy everytime he glances upon the setting sun.
-
Daniel:
YOUNG JACK:
((It's a good thing those boots are fire tempered.))
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I knew cowboys had a good reason to stick their boots in the fire. ;D
Good comeback.
And Fuzzychanny - sorry about going on with the rodeo without you. :( (Though I found the appearance of Michael Jackson pretty... ummm... amusing. ;D )
-
An attempt to translate the French into Wyomingese:
"** Can I spread some o' this pate de foie de canard sur un tranche de baquette pour toi ? **"
Want me to spread some a this duck liver on that slice a bread for you?
"**Mais bien sur. Ah.... j'aime manger sans la poussiere."
Why, sure, bud. Tell you what, it sure is nice to eat without all that dust.
"** Ah, certainement Las Vegas, mon ami! **"
Oh, got a be Vegas, friend.
"**MAIS WYOMING EST SI PLEIN DE POUSSIERE, IL N'EST PAS COMIQUE!! **"
But Wyoming sure is dusty, and I ain't jokin.
"Non, il n'y a pas de fromage pour vous. Asseyez-vous."
No, we ain't got any cheese for you. Sit your ass down there, bud.
"Il se pouleche les babines, comme il n'a jamais mange."
He's lickin his lips like he ain't never eaten.
"** Hey, young fella, eat my poussiere !! **"
Eat my dust!
(Or at least, I think that's what the French meant...)
-
BRAVA, Mel! Great job at translating! ;D And Daniel's subtitles are the greatest! :laugh:
Hurrah for Mikaela's Monroe:
A guy publicly preoccupied with luxury food? No way. Now I can talk gorgonzola and prepare glace de viande on those rare occasions when everyone else is off to that new Burger King just opened way out there in the middle of nowhere...
Brilliant! ;D
-
Sorry I'm late everyone. I had a "tricky" swap over of internet with the move....EVEN THOUGH I organised this WEEKS ago with the provider for a smooth one hour transition, I was left without my seventh sense for almost FOUR DAYS! %% Amazing %% the things we get done when the internet is down!!!! Right in line with Lureen's big entrance.........................//////////don't even! So anyhooo, Lureen is in da tent!
-
I've laughed so much at the last few pages - this 4th of July is like no other, ever. I hesitate to mention anyone because it's all been so totally good, but; - Daniel's translation of Biker French had me absolutely rolling on the floor. Bravo! And bravo to everyone else! :) :)
That said, I have to inform you on behalf of Monroe that he's going away in secret to a speciality food and wine congress and won't be able to log onto the net again till late Wednesday evening. In view of his soon upcoming scene at the Super Market, which he wouldn't want to miss for a whole world of white truffles, he's hoping Jack and Lureen will do some serious slow, slow dancing over the next couple of days if required, to buy him the necessary time to get back home in time for his big moment onscreen. ;)
-
today is one of those days as you all have heard by now, that I needed to read something uplifting. So I thought I would read some more of the Performance. As much as it hurts to laugh today, I could'nt help it. This gets funnier and funnier even when I thought it could'nt get any funnier than it already is. How the heck did Miicheal Jackson get involved in this? This is hilarious. OMG and Stevie Wonder and Whitney Huston, Just too much fun. Please keep it up.
And I loved the bikers and Jimbo(creepy) too.
All the roles are wonderful. Just too many to mention right now!
-
Aw Mikaela, you are killing me!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Your last post? :laugh: :laugh: and the one
before that, hahahahahahahaha and the one
before THAT!!!!.............................................................. YOU ARE BRILLIANT!!!
Mwah! :-* :-* :-*

Thank you, Jane! :-* :-* :-*

((pats self repeatedly on back for asking Mikaela to play Monroe))

Where else in the world would Jack, played by Daniel, be playing love scenes with a straight woman acting as a gay man (Ennis/DeeDee), and then hooking up with a straight woman played by a gay man (Lureen/Ray)?!?!?!
OMG, OMG, OMG!
-
I am the man: if it be so, as 'tis,
Poor lady, she were better love a dream.
Disguise, I see, thou art a wickedness,
Wherein the pregnant enemy does much.
How easy is it for the proper-false
In women's waxen hearts to set their forms!
Alas, our frailty is the cause, not we!
For such as we are made of, such we be.
How will this fadge? my master loves her dearly;
And I, poor monster, fond as much on him;
And she, mistaken, seems to dote on me.
What will become of this? As I am man,
My state is desperate for my master's love;
As I am woman,--now alas the day!--
What thriftless sighs shall poor Olivia breathe!
O time! thou must untangle this, not I;
It is too hard a knot for me to untie!

Hello all the crazy people. I know I haven't been around much recently, and I feel quite strange typing this after my sporatic contributions, but I have been bombarded with PM's asking for a decision on handing over the long standing roles of Ennis and Jack. I've stewed this over and over for a couple of days now and have to say that I was actually surprised to be asked to "rule". I started this thread in a bid to harness all the cleverness and creativity I saw pouring onto the board. A means by which we could perform our lessons, our fantasies, and our perceptions of the movie that changed us all. It was always meant to be constantly changing and rippling because the BBM lesson I learned was to evolve and embrace change, no matter how bizzare and sudden the turn. As wonderful as Daniel and Double D have been in the roles of Ennis and Jack, they would equally bring a new life to other characters not yet cast. And equally, new actors would broaden the perameters of 'our' J&E. I appreciate the 'baby' we have created, but it still has such a diverse life to live. There ain't no apron strings on this one!
-
So many changes in our company lately! :P
Elle, even though you gave up your jobs as Casting Director and Asst. to Mr. Raymille, I hope you will stay around as the Wind. What's Wyoming without the Wind?
Dee Dee, thanks so much for your eloquent Ennis (that's not a word usually applied to him!). He will be missed, but I'm excited to see what Louise brings to his character.
Jane, you did a great job as CD, and briefly as Casting Director--thanks for that! I hope you find another job with the company that still keeps you with us.
Daniel, I hope you're staying on as Jack. Your stabilizing influence and poetic soul are much appreciated.
And Ray, it's so great to see you back on the thread with your nutty, irreverent Lureen! There's only one Ray, and we are lucky enough to have him!
Kiss Kiss Kiss

As much fun as it is to try and figure out what's going on on the Performance Thread, it would be nice to know who, where, and when, everyone thinks we are, cause right now I'm totally confused as to who is playing who and what is going on. I had thought that older Jack and Ennis were post divorce (when the physical changes were apparent), but what do I know? I would love to continue as older Jack, but if a change is in order, let there be change. I'm willing to finish these few scenes, then turn over the role to a deserving performer, I suppose when the baby is born.
I've enjoyed the Performance Thread so much, and had many nights of hilarity with Cher, Michael Jackson, JBB, Terry Cloth, Mika the Singing Mule, the Bull, Ms. August Snow, Jimbo and Bimbo, Aguirre, Low Startle Point; who can forget Jack's Pants, and of course the loves of my life: Ennis and Lureen. (Both names have double letters, interesting). And I do not think I would have been able to put on a good performance without the assistance of our crew: Mr. Indapaddock whose brilliant sheep managed to perform their hearts out despite their small size and stature, our Feng Shui Director who managed to keep our energies flowing in at least some direction, our High Priestess, whose spiritual explorations still have me caught in the headlights, our former Continuity Director, who managed to help keep the film flowing smoothly most of the time (Her presence will be sorely missed.), our former Casting Director, whose imagination and willpower brought many brilliant actors to our little production, and of course, our Director Mr. Raymille who got a ball rolling which turned into one of those giant snowballs you see in the cartoons.
Thank you, thank you, everyone. It's been wonderful being here as Jack, and I am interested in seeing how things go from here, particularly when the new Jack steps forward.
-Daniel (s Jack)
-
I am looking forward to chiming in when the time is right.
Please note: I am in Central European Time Zone. Which means right about the time you Americans are sitting down to your beans and franks and giving the little woman (or man) a kiss hello after a long day at the glue factory, I am tucking into bed. However, I am able (and tend to) lurk in Bettermost during the European day. But please be patient if you are waiting for me to post for Ennis in a scene because I am not on an American clock.
-
Hi All, when I retired as Casting Director, I told the Continuity Director that I am happy to continue to keep the cast and crew list updated in the first post of the Perf thread. Now she has retired too, so I'm letting you all know. PM me whenever there is a cast and/or crew change, and I'll adjust the cast & crew list. Thanks to those of you who already do that. Take a peek now, iffen you want, and PM me if you see anything out of date or incorrect. Clarissa

Something else - I'm going to look for a new continuity director. I''ve got an idea. I didn't really want to quit as casting director except I was having trouble keeping up with what the job required.
-
Maybe you can be our new Continuity Director, and hopefully we won't need much of a casting director.

Hey you bunch of crazy farkers!!
After 5 loooooooong weeks with no internet access, JBB is back on the ol' PT! I've just finished catching up, & it only took me four effen hours!!!!! :P
I have to go to bed soon 'cos me ribs are achin' and the laughing's worn me all out... but before I depart and gather my strength for JBB's return to BAM tomorrow, I just had to give a little roll call of all the things that tickled my ribs in particular amoungst all the comic madness on display. Namely...
...Timmy's front bottom
...Milli's Owlma / Terry wedding photo on pg25
...Opinionista's inspired rendition of MJ's 'Beat It'
...Billy Jean & the Wimbledon cake tray (& Alec's ceaseless and shameless punning ;))
...Mikaela's Monroe - an inspired creation
...The French Bikers (genius!!) & Daniel's translations
...Cher & Whitney
...Sleepy the narcoleptic bull
...and many, many others :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
And here's a spooky thing. As I was reading the July 4th scene posts fireworks started going off nearby! And it's not even a holiday over here!!
Ahhhh... you guys... I've missed you!! It's great to be back!!!

I have missed reading your posts Nick!

I have been reading the performance. It's really quite funny. You guys are really on a roll. I look foward to reading some more of this funny ongoing soap.

Welcome back, JBB! We needed a kick in the arse, and you provided it! ;D
I hope your French relations are doing well. Did you see that TIMMY found one of your American cousins? ;)

Hehe, thanks for the welcome, Jane!
I've just started to work my way through the last two weeks on the PT thread. It's hilarious, but time consuming. You folks just have to be patient with an old owl! ;)
I'll be back! Promised!

Ditto, Anke! And you too, JBB. So glad you're back, body butter buddy!! Had to laugh and thought of you when I went to the Pride Block Party this weekend--it was sponsored by ID personal lubricant so all the waste receptacles asked "Got lube?" And my daughter took me to this store called Lush with wonderful lotions and bath bombs and such, and a wide range of body butters, no JBB though. You are unique!
As for you, Jane, yr teasing us with your sunglasses-on sunglasses-off routine!! Go ahead, torture me!

AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggh!
Finally, one of Monroe's bona fide real scenes appears, absolutely pivotal in terms of his characterization - and the poor actor (that is; me) won't be here!
I'll be off the net for nearly two weeks - by no means letting BBM in the lurch as I'm meeting up with Brokies several times in several places..... but I don't think I can manage to be Monroe in the "Ennis delivers the kids to Alma at the store" scene.
**sniff**
I suppose anyone who feels like stepping into Monroe's shoes, please feel free.
I've been building up to this scene so I figure I can let you have the summary of what I was planning would happen; - the "Condiments" slip of the tongue was supposed to make poor Monroe completely frantic that he'd exposed his culinary leanings and endangered himself to someone who beat down two wonderfully gastronomic bikers, after all, and who in Monroe's view surely must be a "Cibophobe".
And since Monroe doesn't get to see just who ruins the peanut display, he'll of course think it was Ennis, flying into a rage. After all he's seen Ennis lose it before, and the peanuts diisplay is his (Monroe's) special creation, which Alma thought well of and said so. Poor Monroe will wonder why the peanuts went flying - was it because Ennis suspects Monroe's feelings for Alma? Or doesn't he like peanuts? Or was it the "condiments" being mentioned that made him react with rage? Monroe will simply be a nervous wreck after Ennis innocently drops the girls off, having no idea of the significance of either "condiments" nor peanut displays nor Monroe's many worries and fears.....
Which might be the message such as it is - that very often we worry far too much about stuff that doesn't really exist except in our own mind - or at least we make our worries grow unneccessarily.
I'm sure there would have been crazy, funny detours in every direction and probably Monroe would be in dire need of various new therapy sessions including ones with the divine Ms. C - but alas! Unless Jack and Lureen keeps their current car action going for another 2 weeks.... I can't act Monroe in the next scene.
Good luck to whoever takes over Monroe in the meantime! He's fun to play with - do what you want with him on the PT while he's yours. :)
-
Oh no! What a goddambitchofanunsatisfactorysituation to have to miss out on Mikaela's Monroe at this crucial pass. :(
But the good news is that Mika will be in London and NY, meeting up with Brokies. Mika, at least when you're in NY next week, you're welcome to take over my computer and work Monroe Magic with it! :-*
-
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Monroe, Cher and Lureen's pasties, you guys are killing me!
And Lureen! Oh my God. More of her kind and there wouldn't be many straight men left! ;D
By the way, Monroe will not be the only one missing the coming weekend. In fact, he, JBB, Alma Jr., the Peeing Sheep, Mika the Musical Mule, the Props Magician and Owl Olivia have been called to London for an important meeting. Sigh. I guess, if you can't fix it, you gotta stand it, folks! ;D
See ya!

Hey, my votes (one each from Terry Cloth, Cher, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and let us not forget the nauseous Toad) -- poor Whitney can't vote from rehab -- are that the Euro Brokies find some internet cafe and wreak some delightful collective havoc on the PT! Surely you have time in your, um, important meeting schedule! ;)

What a colorful gathering!
JBB will surely slather her way into everyone's make-up bag..
MIKA will sing her lil mule-ish heart out for anyone who dares to listen ..
Ms Spanky .. are you taking your magic wand with you? You never know what emergencies may arise ..
Especially if Owl Olivia decides to drop unidentified 'objects' on peoples' heads ..
And too bad WarshRag won't be there to soak up any puddles Peeing Sheep leaves behind .. ;D
What amazing Brokie fun it'll be!

Yeah! And wait until Monroe and Mule Mika will land in New York next weekend to meet the High Priestess, Low Startle Point Horse and Lureens Pasties!! :laugh: :laugh:

And since Monroe doesn't get to see just who ruins the peanut display, he'll of course think it was Ennis, flying into a rage. After all he's seen Ennis lose it before, and the peanuts diisplay is his (Monroe's) special creation, which Alma thought well of and said so. Poor Monroe will wonder why the peanuts went flying - was it because Ennis suspects Monroe's feelings for Alma? Or doesn't he like peanuts? Or was it the "condiments" being mentioned that made him react with rage? Monroe will simply be a nervous wreck after Ennis innocently drops the girls off, having no idea of the significance of either "condiments" nor peanut displays nor Monroe's many worries and fears.....
Which might be the message such as it is - that very often we worry far too much about stuff that doesn't really exist except in our own mind - or at least we make our worries grow unneccessarily.
I'm sure there would have been crazy, funny detours in every direction and probably Monroe would be in dire need of various new therapy sessions including ones with the divine Ms. C - but alas! Unless Jack and Lureen keeps their current car action going for another 2 weeks.... I can't act Monroe in the next scene.
Good luck to whoever takes over Monroe in the meantime! He's fun to play with - do what you want with him on the PT while he's yours. :)
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!! Now what're we gonna do, hunh? I just now saw this..... :'( :'( :'( :'(
and I am at stinky work for another six f'n hours..... GDBOAUS....

maybe I'm humor impaired or something, but I can't follow the plot.
Could someone please let me know when I am supposed to do a scene? No offense, but I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing with CHER in this plot. I can't stand that chick, or the stupid wigs.

Hello Louise ... I am disappointed that you feel the need to be publicly negative about that which you do not enjoy. I have not made any comments anywhere on BetterMost about anything that I do not happen to enjoy. Part of the beauty of the collaborative humor on the PT is that everyone plays in the way that he or she most enjoys, and others laugh as the spirit moves them. Please have fun in your way and do not seek to inhibit others who enjoy the PT in different ways. As with any thread, you can just skip over parts which do not appeal to you. Happy posting! -- Alec

Hey Louise -
Maybe someone can tell you when you're on (if anyone else is paying that close attention to the original plot), but we all just jump in and move forward as inspired by the original plot as well as all the other stuff going on...
Don't worry either - it doesn't matter even a little if you like the other stuff going on. We're all learning to be sooooooooooo flexible with our expectations. This is a work of great improvisational genius - ain't no reins on this one!!!!

Hey Louise! I think the point is that there is no plot as such... least not one that I can see... or perhaps ther are so many going on at the same time as to make the PT impossible to pin down or regulate. That's the joy of it - no rules, you just jump in whenever you feel like it and post any damn thing you want.
I personally can't get along with the ABCs (too many rules for my liking) but many others enjoy it so good luck to them - I just choose to not take part.
And if you hate Cher so much, why don't you perhaps bring Steven Segal onto the BAM set to hatch an assasination plot? ;)
Didn't you play the barman a short time ago Louise? I thought those posts were great!

((At Lureen's "buns of steel" comment, Jack reaches into the back of his jeans and pulls out the metal dishes he'd had stashed up there.))

Yes, and previously made a brief walk-on as "In-Genius Coyote"... the problem is, I cannot seem to function in a pure chaos environment, hence my anxiety about trying to fit an actual Ennis into this er... non... er.... you know what I mean. I live a plot-driven life.

Hello Louise --
I'll assume you intimate that the PT is nonsense in a warm and endearing way! ;) And rest assured, it is indeed plot-driven. It's just that there are a number of very fluid plots going on at once. They flow into each other as we encourage each other to say "yes" to the improv and build upon each other's ideas. Blurring the lines between the fantasy "reality" of the BBM story and the "reality" of the collective fantasty which we call our global culture gives many of us a lot of laughs in a world which can be much too serious a place. The collaborative and spontaneous nature of the PT is a refreshing change from the harshness of the evening news. Not every gag is for everyone, but no one should be gagged!

But Louise, feel free to go wild with the 1960s television characters -- there are plenty of those from whom we have not yet heard! ;)
Is anyone else Bewitched by the Performance Thread? Under its spell? Jump in, the water's fine!
happy posting, everyone -- Alec
-
To be honest, Louise, the Performance Thread is more like fishing than anything else.
You just have to let loose then let fly. It was difficult for me at first, but here I am, cavorting among the wild blossoms along with everyone else.
And don't worry about trying to post in the "correct" place. The CD's scene calls are more like general guidelines than exact directions, so we kinda have an idea where we are. If you have something to contribute to the performance in response to anything that has been going on, you can get the ball rolling, juices flowing, (whatever metaphor suits you best here).
So if you're still having difficulty getting into the swing of things, try 1) Letting loose. Start with a blank screen, and then just accept what comes along without trying to direct or guide it in some direction, then 2) Letting Fly. Respond to what comes along with as much humor, freedom, and exhilaration as you can muster; breathe life into the thread and into whatever characters are right there in front of you. And try and remember, its all in fun.

Is it just me, or has the BAM set been mostly empty lately...
Where is everyone?

One thing I don't think we want to see on the set of B.A.M. is RPS (that stands for Real People Sex, for the non-fanfic readers ;)) posts of our beloved actors, Jake, Heath, Michelle and Anne.
I am almost the only one who wanted, up until yesterday that is, the actors, and Ang Lee to see the homage we have created for our beloved BBM. Now that there is parody of Heath and Michelle, I don't know if that is still a good thing to wish for... ???

Hey Jane ..
I don't think any disrespect was intended .. It is all mild fun as far as I am concerned.
Can we also remember that Cher and Michael Jackson are real people. ..? Sorry Alec .. you know I wuv you .. ;D
If seeing Heath's/ Michelle's or any of the "real" cast's names on there is upsetting to anyone, we don't have to do it. No worries! Let's try to continue having fun! That's all I'm after .. :)
-
Thank you Jane for those words. I am not taking the part back and Louise is adding her own flavor to it. How boring it would be if we all did it the same way.
I am looking forward, thanks to my mentor Mr. Raymille, to just jump in and be goofy, somewhat like my pasties debut.
I appreciate your concern for me and you are a nice friend.

Please do not make me feel unwelcome to participate, Jane. I am playing the role I signed up for, I didn't steal one from Dee.

I am a little upset by the "real" cast's names being present.... It puts quite a different feel on the romantic comedy that we've got going here...
-
Folks, Folks .. can I just add my 2 cents again.. :)
If we don't want real cast names.. fine by me ..no biggie .. we can just stop doing that .. No disrespect was ever intended from my part. Now that issue has been put to bed. Are we agreed? :)
-
Sure... thanks, Lucise... You're a doll.
-
I think it is a great and very funny idea. Why is Cher and her gowns a good idea, and Heath and Michelle falling in love in the trailer a bad idea? I thought we were going to be allowed to contribute our ideas in a free form manner?
-
'soright, 'soright. Politics got no place on BAM. Let's please not make it a battle ground where people feel resentful and resented. Go with the flow and on with the show.
-
I am wondering what happened to the days when the PT was fun and not a battleground with public insults and posturing. More importantly, I am wondering when that day will dawn again and we can just have some innocent fun. The PT has been far too much fun for too many people to let different personalities play the role of the iceberg in that other movie...

I think Ray and Alec are right on this one. The Performance is so enjoyable to read. You can't go wrong with it if you keep it fun. I think there is an audience for everybodys ideas. What some people don't like, others will fall over laughing. :laugh: I really do think the variety of ideas is what makes it so entertaining! Please don't lose the magic that you have created here.
I would imagine it was started to get everybody together, to combine ideas, and have alot of fun doing it. When it is finished,( if it ever is finished) and I for one hope it goes on forever, You will have a masterpeice! So everybody..keep up the good work! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I have to agree with this. In any movie, there are actors and roles. I myself used Heath as a character earlier in the thread and was unaware of any unwritten rule that using the real life actors was not okay. If anyone was offended by this, they were kind enough not to tell me, but let me do my thing.
I respect that it makes some folks uncomfortable, but as long as we are reasonably considerate and tasteful when using real people, I think it should be just another aspect of our wacky and wonderful effort.
-
Geri ... :D
Great to see ya in action on The Perf! Keep it up girl!

Lucise,
Sorry I did forget about your Lucas! But the good thing is, my Lucas didn't live very long. He was more or less just a practice run! But I will come up with somebody that can stay around for awhile! ;)

Geri ~
There aint only one Lucas in the world and there sure can be more than one Lucas on the Performance ..
Don't kill off Lucas the Claus simply because there is a Lucas Indaloo .. keep him going .. I loved the beard he has going there ... ;D

Geri, why don't you play L.D. Newsome? He's gotta be father of bride for a bit. Good gig. ;)

Hi Meryl:
I was the one who objected, and just to explain, what I was objecting to was what I feel Heath would be offended by, that is, depictions of sex between Heath and Michelle. That is what is known as RPS (Real People Sex) in the fanfic world. There are people who believe and I am one, that is it disrespectful to be that intrusive of the actors' private lives. And from what I have seen reported about Heath in the magazine articles, interviews, etc, he did not appreciate the paparazzi taking a telephoto lens shot of him buck nekkid. And RPS is in the same vein IMO.
Since the PT is in honour of our beloved BBM and the creators of it, I don't see why we would dishonour two of the main contributors, IMO.
Including Heath and Michelle in the PT in a comedic vein, in parody, is not what I was objecting to. I was objecting to the RPS. I hope I have explained this clearly enough. ;)

Meryl, hunnyloo, we done passed that point! :) But it certainly is an aspect of our wacky and wonderful effort!
Everyone, if one MUST criticize - and I "musted" twice a while back on something I found painful - let's do it in PM. I'm also very glad that the person I spoke up to was very polite and open to hearing what I had to say, and was willing to make a change that we could both live with.
On with the impromptu, something-for-everyone show!

I certainly never meant for the Critics Gallery to be all positive feedback.... As long as we have something constructive to say, something that will allow us to improve our various performances, whether it is a compliment for a job well done, or a person saying that they're uncomfortable with something, feel free to say what needs to be said. Even if our feedback is less than positive, if it leads to a more enjoyable performance for everyone, its a good thing.

Bravo Guy and Lucise!! That was so tastefully but deliciously played!! Did the equinox have something to do with it? :D

Not particularly.... but the weekend may have.

Clarissa
As we all know, everyone deals with conflict differently. While I am not advocating for a completely sanitized Critics' Thread, I do support the notion of voicing serious or personalized complaints in private. Some negativity expressed here recently erupted into a bit of a firestorm which took several days to burn out, and a number of good people felt singed before it did. We almost lost some valuable players. I believe that the whole thing could have been dealt with much more easily and constructively in private. I tried to take the communication about this conflict, and about a concern which I have never voiced publicly, into the private realm. Unfortunately, unlike Clarissa's experience, the person with whom I was trying to communicate in private was not at all responsive to my concerns. But hey, the show must go on! And I, for one, am glad that people (and animals, and heretofore-inanimate objects!) have remained invested in the free-form, creative, and as-collaborative-as-possible nature of the PT. So... carry on, everyone!

Thanks for the clarification Jane. I was aware that the RPS was the problem, hence my "reasonably tasteful and considerate" comment. There's plenty of fanfic around that deals in RPS, and it has many readers. The Performance Thread is also a divine form of fanfic, so it's understandable that some posters would include RPS eventually.
You were right to make your feelings known, and I happen to agree with them. It's only your stating that "we" as a whole would object that seems too much IMO like laying down a law. BetterMost does not ban RPS and other adult topics. Hopefully, if we use the tools available to us to regulate content--changing the subject, not picking up on or continuing the material, sending PMs, etc.--the poster in question will adjust out of consideration.

I agree that PMs are good for alerting posters about what makes you uncomfortable, but I'm glad when larger issues, like RPS and making rules, are aired on the Critics Thread. I think constructive criticism helps everybody be more aware, and hopefully, happier. :)

Right, Right, and Right! I agree with you 200%. If I accidently presumed to speak for the whole group, then I appologize, that was a mistake. I think Meryl you and I have respected each other's points of view, nice to know you Meryl Del Mar..... ;) :D

May I respectfully suggest: Mikaela will be back online on Wednesday, and though she is okay with a Monroe-of-the-Moment, she would be ever so happy to still have the supermarket scene for herself. We do have other topics to explore, namely Jack and Lureen's wedding and the (suddenly very strange) drama surrounding Guy and Lucise (beautiful consummation, Daniel and Milli!). Maybe we could wait a little?

I don't mind waiting for Monroe ..umm MIKA .. I suppose other plots/subplots can go wild till then ;)

Dear Daniel
"OBJECT RAPE"?! C'mon Sage, I really think you need a day's excursion away from the computer and into the real world. GET A GRIP 101! In all honesty, please stop taking yourself so seriously. You really are getting a little scary with all this. I don't understand why you are so adverse to people playing with your character. Guy is not a real person and is subject, as is every other character, to the teasings of all players. We already have one of the most romantic love scenes ever to be imbedded in celuloid with BrokeBack Mountain. The PT is simply for laughs. Please don't confuse the two. Now I am going back to torment Guy a little more. :P ::) :-X :-*

I merely stated an opinion... It is apparent to me that we have differing tastes in what is humorous. But because I don't find object rape humorous I'm not in the real world, I don't have a grip, and I take myself too seriously?
I never said that Guy should be free from the teasings of all players. As a character on the PT he can of course be teased by anyone. Just as he can freely respond to something that makes no sense for his personal experience as a dream or nightmare. I seem to have missed the rule which stated that love scenes could not be imbellished on the PT, perhaps you could point it out to me, and I will gladly edit my posts, as will I'm sure everyone else who's gone in that direction. I continue enjoying the Performance Thread, and the firemen bursting in on the sex scene was indeed humorous, and devastatingly unexpected. The humor ended for me when that experience became invasive and degrading, not because it was Guy who was the subject of it, but because it was a representation of a human being.
Torment Guy all you want. I find it humorous when people mock his psychological frailties, and I am often doing the same thing by exaggerating various mannerisms in his character. But I don't think the Performance Thread should be the place to dream up torturous treatments.

Dear Daniel
"OBJECT RAPE"?! C'mon Sage, I really think you need a day's excursion away from the computer and into the real world. GET A GRIP 101! In all honesty, please stop taking yourself so seriously. You really are getting a little scary with all this. I don't understand why you are so adverse to people playing with your character. Guy is not a real person and is subject, as is every other character, to the teasings of all players. We already have one of the most romantic love scenes ever to be imbedded in celuloid with BrokeBack Mountain. The PT is simply for laughs. Please don't confuse the two. Now I am going back to torment Guy a little more. :P ::) :-X :-*
Ray, this is the first time I have ever seen you post something insensitive. Daniel is a huge asset to the PT and is always proving that he can improvise with anything that is thrown at him and still keep a sense of humor. I think he deserves more from you than a sarcastic put-down, especially after he made a valid objection. The PT isn't completely for laughs. We love our characters, and it's not fun when someone's "teasing" steps over the line.
-
I know I'm not a PT regular but since I have been in it, I wanted to add my two cents to this whole controversy or whatever you want to call it. Why don't we all just relax and try to have some fun? Something I have learned in this very forum is that life's too short to waste your time fighting over non serious issues. No offense intended but this is just the performance, the less serious thread in the whole forum. Come on, let's all be friends and have some fun.
-
Thankyou all for your opinions and I will reply in private message to those concerned. Please continue to enjoy the PT the way you see fit. Remember the purpose was for fun. Hopefully the fun can continue despite these repeated hiccups.
-
My 2 cents, for what it's worth...
I always thought that opening a thread for open criticism was a potential minefield. A large part of the pleasure of partaking in the PT is, for me, the fact that it is not a preordained narrative and is for the most part reactive. This keeps it fresh and creative - having to react to posts which are unexpected, and possibly disruptive to your own narrative, makes us all more creative participants in this fantastic fun.
This thread used to be a place where we expressed our admiration for our fellow posters and to say thanks for posts which made us laugh our asses off, and I see nothing wrong with that. It makes everyone's day a little more pleasurable to give and receive praise. When criticism is brought into the public arena, as it has been here, no matter how well intentioned and 'constructive' this criticism is, it is gonna ruffle feathers, hurt feelings and make people feel exposed and defensive. Criticism should be the preserve of the PM, and likewise when posters are offended or concerned by another's post then those issues, too, should be discussed in private.
On a final note, I personally would like to see an end to the practice of taking cheap shots at other posters on the critics gallery. It's childish, it serves no-one, and it resolves nothing.
Thanks,
Nicky x

Hey, if you haven't listened to it already, here is Anke's report from the EuroBrokie gathering. One can hear the voices of our beloved Mika, JBB, Olivia Owl, and the PT idea originator, Becky.

Excellent as always Ms Spanky!

%% Jesus, what did they expect? %% ;)

Okay, one more thing and then I'll shut the hell up ::).
An excellent point was raised by a fellow Bettermostian in response to my original post, and that was... what to do if your PMs with regard to BAM go unanswered or are dealt with in a dismissive way? If someone did not reply to my PMs or address the issues I asked to discuss then I'd be tempted to say 'all bets are off' and bring it into the public arena on this thread. If you've given someone a reasonable chance to enter into a dialogue with you in private and they refuse to extend you the courtesy of attempting to resolve the issues, then they've really left you with no option, have they? It's easy to say 'let's just all move on', but when feelings have been hurt then it's easier said than done.
The only reason I bring this up again is because it seems BAM is still operating under something of a cloud, and I'm sure we'd all like to work towards the co-operative and supportive atmosphere we had here until recently.

I'm loving the Mirror of
Galadriel the High Priestess. ;D
And YOUNG JACK... be careful about changing the channels. You don't want to get the Giant Flaming Eye channel. That one's bad news.

Owl Olivia:

Cheers OWLMA ..lol .. all the best of luck with finding your runaway rag husband .. :P ;D
-
Last I saw him, he was hiding out in the HP's sacred relic room.
-
BTW OWLMA, love the Mikaela song!! ;D
-
BTW OWLMA, love the Mikaela song!! ;D
Yeah, that one is a real treasure, isn't it? :laugh:
It's originally called "Michaela", but since ol' Bata is from former Jugoslavia, it just sounds like it's made for Mika our musical dumbass mule...
;D
-
Oh, be very sure Mika herself loves that song too - and the very flattering portrait of her. Not to mention the good-looking lover she's acquired.
I'm sure a song is brewing now in her mulish heart!
Great post, OWLMA! ;D

Is Monroe a price-gouger ...a prince ..or a priest?
Will the real Monroe please stand up?!

You guys are leaving me in stitches today!

Heh, all those hours of watching the LOTR movies have paid off at last... ;D
Guys, that was one fine Supermarket Scene! :laugh:
-
Yep it was....
Now shall we have the Frodo JACK and Sam JBB journey to Mount Doom the bridal shop scene? lol...
JACK: Gotta beware of that one ring stuff... Apparently it makes Lureen Queen of the Universe.
-
Bravo Mikaela!! Stunning my dear, STUNNING!! Love the song - LMAO & felt spooked at the same time!! ;D ;D ;D
-
I agree with JBB about the stunning part!
Who knew a DUMBASS MULE could be so un-dumbass?! ;D
-
I knew Mika was going places with that musical talent of hers...
"For You're Both Beautiful, and I Have Loved You Dearly." was also very moving.
Is that based on an actual song, or is it something you came up with entirely independent.. :)
-
Mikaela, please you're torturing me...
That sounds so much like a real song... I'm sure it is... Both that and "The Mating Song".... It would help if you posted what the original song was and who wrote it... so that I can find it online and sing along.... That's what I had to do with "Hotel California".... lol.
If I'm mistaken and they're entirely original, would be helpful to know that too. So that I can make up my own tune and sing along... lol.
-
Oh, they're all real songs that I tweak and twist and adapt for BAM-verse. Couldn't ever come up with them all on my own. ;D
"For You're Both Beautiful" is based on The last farewell (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/elvis+presley/the+last+farewell_20048296.html), as sung by Roger Whittaker.
The "Down in Childress" song is based on the Eagles' "Hotel California"
and
The mating song is based on parts of Cole Porter's Let's do it (http://www.joanjett.com/Lyrics/lyrics/LetsDoIt.htm) .
If I do any more I'll remember to include the original song's name. :)
-
Cheers to Arad (Geri) for stepping up to take over as ALMA! :D :-*
In case anyone is wondering .. no, I am not quitting the PT!! lol
Guy and Lucise still have to get married, remember ?! 8)
Speaking of weddings .. Did Jack and Lureen do it already?
I mean did they get wed already? ;) Coz I was looking forward to an elaborate, LD Newsome-worthy ceremony ..lol
-
Great changes on the PT...especially our new director, JakeTwist (Jane). Yay, Jane! Can't wait to see all the new activity that will come from this! Does this mean Director Ray-Mille will now advance to producer??
-
I think Director Ray-Mille has gone on to work on his next great project.... He's filming a little film about a love affair on a huge space station that collides with an ice meteor.... "Titan I. C."
-
Welcome everybody!! Geri as Alma, DeeDee as Lureen and Jane as our new DIRECTOR!!! Yay! :D
(http://www.ilovehou.com/twonicknames/gifsite/july02/happydance.gif)
-
Thank you all so much for your warm welcome!! Filling Lucise's boots is not going to be easy! But I will give it my best shot and we will see what happens. I might be alittle shakey at first but.. If you guys dont like the direction I go in please pm me as I would rather " nip it on the bud" so to speak than have anybody stewing about it. I am thrilled to join such a creative and talented bunch as yourselves! I just hope I can keep up with ya all!! :) :)
-
No worries, Geri! You just can't go wrong here! ;)
And now to the not so good news: Ray is leaving us, and I'll miss him badly.
Hey Mr. Raymille! Thank you for starting that crazy thread. I hope you'll keep us in good memory, even if we didn't always live up to your expectations...
Farewell my friend! It won't be the same without you
and without these two... :'(

Hi Meryl,
Your choice of middle names for both Jack and Lureen is brilliant.
The choice of Harold for Jack made me realize that in an alternate universe, based on things we've all talked about, Aguirre could be his Uncle Joe by marriage. And how it echoes Ennis's "Jesus H.!" Haunting.
Also choosing Desiree - making Lureen an L.D. Newsome, Jr. She Lured Jack, with her Desire. Great work.
Nice reading the Gibran, too.
-
Geri, welcome! I've enjoyed your humor on other parts of betterMost, and I think you'll do great here. Enjoy yourself!
-
Jane,
Working closely with you in earlier months, with me as Casting Director, and you as Continuity Drector, i've watched you grow into the part, going from someone who tried to herd cats, to someone who knows cats shan't be herded, but still putting the open can of tuna down in the right spot so they more or less head the same way together. :) Or something like that.
I can think of no one better suited to be Our Director. Remember Ang's direction to Michelle, and you'll do great, "Be like milk in water." Not sure what it means, but I'm pretty sure cats like it.
Clarissa
-
Thanks, Elle! I wondered if folks would pick up on the L.D. reference, and you answered the question pronto. As to the Gibran, I found it on a site that recommended verses for weddings and was surprised to find how well it suited two people who didn't get married. :)
I echo what Anke said, Ray. Thanks so much for gifting us with your incredible humor and heart. I've been missing your posts for awhile now and will continue to miss them. All the very best to you in the next stage of your life. Come back and visit us often! :-*
Jane, Geri and DeeDee, thanks for taking up the mantles of those that have distinguished themselves before you. I know you'll make those roles your own and make us proud! 8)

It has occurred to me that maybe a number of you are not familiar with the Cast List, which is kept continuously updated by our beloved former Sycophantic Assistant Clarissa, and by me. It is found on Page One of the PT. So just to familiarize ever'body with this list, I am posting it here. The majority of the canonical parts have been filled, and the rest will be filled as we get closer to the time (the ones in blue). The Lead Roles are filled on a rotational basis, and I know for a fact that our beloved Daniel is ready to pass the torch if someone else wants to step into those cowboy boots.... YOUNG JACK's I mean. Please PM me and Daniel if you are interested.

Nicky,
"The Warshrag's Lament" aka "The Streets of Riverton" is truly brilliant.! Thank you.

Thanks southendmd! It was great fun to do! ;D

"I see by your tubing that you are a butt-cream"
These words he did say as I boldly rolled by.
"Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story;
I am shot in the weft and I know I must die."
Fabulous, Nicky! BrokenArse has spawned yet another gifted lyricist. :laugh:

And another star is discovered right here on the set of B.A.M.!!! Hurrah!!! Hurrah!!!
Geri! Geri! Geri!
your posts are freakin' genius!! I bow to you.... I just howled at the happy meal box -
I think I woke my neighbour!!! hahahahahahhahahahahaha!!! Thank you for that!
-
Jane,
Whew! lol, thanks!! I was hoping you would like it!!.
I found that picture of the happpy meal quite a long time ago. I saved it not really thinking I would ever have a chance to use it. Thenl Alma came along.
I hope that I did'nt rush anybody by just starting out. I couldnt see any other scene coming up. And it seemed like the wedding was put off for awhile.( which I am really looking forward to, cause that will be a riot) so i figured I better get on out there!
-
I found that picture of the happpy meal quite a long time ago. I saved it not really thinking I would ever have a chance to use it. Thenl Alma came along.
I know what you mean, Geri. Since the busy days of the "Lines visualized" thread, I sometimes save silly pictures I come across somewhere on the internet without knowing what to do with them. And then, one day, it just fits... :laugh:
I agree with Jane: Alma had a great debut! :-*
Just hope her husband ist still with us. I haven't seen that dude on set for quite a while now... ;)
-
Woo-wee!
Alma Geri .. doing some damage already .. as promised! ;D
-
I know! I did save that from Lines Visulised. I wondered if Mcdonalds ever had that for real, or even Burgerking.
yes i really need to get ahold of that husband of mine!
and thanks!
-
Woo-wee!
Alma Geri .. doing some damage already .. as promised! ;D
LOL thanks Lucise! like they say if your gonna play with the big boys... :D
-
I just would like to let everyone know in advance that I wont be home tonight. I have to DJ a party tonight. But I will be back on tomorrow. So any posting that needs Alma I will not be able to respond to until tomorrow.
Thanks all!
-
Got it.
Since we're active in this scene right now, it might help to know that I am in Europe and so therefore am never reachable for play after about 6 p.m. Eastern time, but earlier than that I am almost always here.
-
ok Louise,
Why dont us two call it a day and get back on tomorrow before 6 eastern time. I think this will be alot of fun if us two work together with it!
zGeri
-
Ok, I just posted the postcard send so I think the next move is yours back at the house.
-
Whoo hoo!!! Scenes. From. The. Actual. Story. Yee Haw!!!!!!!!! Thanks Geri and Louise! I hope my exclamation points show how happy I am that the show is on the road again!!!!!!!!
-
Geri great job with Alma I am still cracking up over the marlboro man. I can't wait to see what you have planned next?????
-
Thanks T. Why don't you try out for a part. I have a feeling you might enjoy Janes casting couch! ;)
-
A very fond adios to our Daniel as Jack, and a warm welcome to Leslie coffeecat as she takes on the role!

GERI CONGRATULATIONS!!! 500 POST
Boy you really do like to talk don't you???

Your pretty good at talking yourself!

Sorry to see Daniel leave Jack. Awesome job Daniel. Right from the beginning to end I enjoyed your hilarious posts. You did Jack Good.
Welcome Leslie!! If I can do it..you can do it!! :laugh:
-
I have less than 2 hours before bedtime (it's 10 p.m. in Deutschland.) Anyone know if our new Jack is around? If not we can hold off till tomorrow to start the smooching.
-
Louise,
I wouldnt mind logging off for the day myself! Great job today. PM me when you want to pick it up tomorrow.
Geri
-
Will do... I loved the beer signs and all that. Tres clever.
-
Yeehaw, we have liftoff! Thanx for the hilarious posts and graphics, Geri, Louise, and Alec! Was it the word "burp" that inspired you to create the wonderful Burt and Ernie side-story? And Daniel, so glad your Guy is sticking around (Laurel too). Hey, my Chilean sheepherder has a proposal for Guy, one of these days...
-
Alec, LMAO!! That was hilarious! What an ending! Although not a surprise as we all know what went on at that motel, but, I never expected to see Bert and Ernnie doing it! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Note to self: Read the Performance Thread BEFORE reading the Critics Gallery thread. Because right now, I'm like, "Bert and Ernie, hunh?"
Note to Señor Warshrag: Now that I seen it, I love it! (That's 'Now that I've seen it...')
-
Daniel! So glad to hear you don't plan to retire completely. Thank you for all the funny, the emotional and the hot scenes you lead us through as JOUNG JACK. Terrific job! Very, very well done!! :-*
Welcome aboard, Leslie! I hope you feel comfortable in our little madhouse, here... :laugh:
-
Clarissa, you have THE BEST sign line, ever' time I see one of your posts now, I laugh! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I will copy it here and here for posterity, 'cause I know how you like to change your sign line often!

And bitterly wept as we bore him along;
For we all loved our warshrag, so brave, young and handsome,
We all loved our warshrag although he'd done wrong." ~ JBB

Geri, no, I really did learn something - if I want to be able to read the Performance Thread with wide-eyed wonder, I need to read it first, before I come into the business end of things in this thread. It makes sense, I just wasn't thinkin' before.
Now I'm lookin' forward to that rump roast! :)

Well I guess I hogged the boards!!! Waiting for Ennis to introduce Jack to Alma and tell Jack that they have kids - two daughters. There wasn't no Director, A.D. or Script Girl around to stop me - finally had to restrain myself from posting even MORE photos but I thought it was somebody else's turn........ Leslie (Jack)
-
Leslie. i just got back on. Really enjoyed your posts! I like the images of them kissing on Jacks mind while he's meeting Alma. You took advantage of a good opportunity to show some more great scenes.that really do belong in this scene!
I dont think we can do much more until Ennis gets back. He has the next line. but you could always show some more images like you have.
Geri

Geri, Leslie, Louise--great job on the reunion! And the more pics of Ennis and Jack the better. 8)
Alec, the Warshrag's fabric-ations are eloquence (and hilarity) itself! ;D
Daniel, thanks so much for your lovely, original, appealing YOUNG JACK. Luckily, you have multiple personalities, so I hope we'll see lots more from you. ;) :-*
-
Meryl,
The scene with THE HIGH PRIESTESS today was beyond genius! I have always loved that character right from the beginning. She has added so much to the performance. I laugh and laugh at her. I just don't know how you come up with that stuff! ??? :laugh: :laugh:
Geri
-
Thanks so much, Geri! A blessing on your head and a solemn YEEHAW from the HIGH PRIESTESS! :-*

Geri,
I found Alma's memory concerning the finger issue most interesting. This is the specific post to which I refer:
http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=2739.msg102054#msg102054 (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=2739.msg102054#msg102054)
I took a look at my hands, and my index fingers DO match the length of my ring fingers. So maybe Alma's onto something, as I know I'm as gay as Liberace's rhinestone-studded cape!
-
LOL. I remember seeing that chart off and on over the years. In highschool kids actually would go around checking fingers. When I spotted it on my hunt for crazy funny pictures I couldnt believe it. I was hoping i could find a good place to post it cause I myself always found it to be crazy and leslie gave me the oppurtunity.
do you really think there's something to it? Because according to that chart I'm macho! ??? That doesn't sound very feminine for me!
Actually that might make a good thread on it's own. Everybody could tell what their fingers say!
-

I wonder if there might not be something to it. I remember some reports that indicated a certain structure of the brain was similar in size among women and homosexual men, but was different among heterosexual men. I don't know if that has been corroborated by later studies.
I should point out that since posting my message I took a look at my fingers with the palms facing me, and the index and ring fingers of my left hand are nearly identical in length (with the ring finger perhaps being slightly shorter), while on my right hand the ring finger looks distinctly shorter than the index finger--though this was not apparent when looking at my fingers with the palms directed away from my face! So there is not even exact symmetry involved here, and one wonders how that might affect the conclusions one may attempt to draw from such an experiment.
-
Wheew!!!! I just checked my fingers and they checked out fine. I like the idea of everyone giving it a try who knows right? If nothing else the worst it could be is fun! I have really been enjoying the performance thread and the critics gallery is great
Tullio

By the way I am really glad to see that Harry the Killer Cauk is OK! What a great character, I instantly liked him. Good thing for Owlma, I was ready to give Harry's cousin Vinny a call and have it taken care of.........LOL
-
Anyone know what the verdict is if your ring finger is shorter than your index finger?? :-\
-

Hey Tullio! You can still jump on the wagon! As far as I know, the role of Heather, the Stunt Hen is still available... :laugh:
-

I think it means that you have a gay friend in the States who adores you and finds your sense of humor to be uproarious and who is eager to hear your voice on the phone again. Yup, that's what it means. xoxo Alec

Darn it, that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me in ages! And the feeling's mutual... ;) :-* :-* :-*

LOL times a thousand at the tube and the cloth and the sheets and the mattress and the springs!! ;D ;D ;D

My ring finger and index finger are nearly exactly the same length on both hands..... :( :) ???

Geri,
You are amazing! I love what you've done with Alma. The Wizard of Oz allusion is priceless.
Coffeecat and Louise,
Very sexy reunion scene!
Alec and Nicki,
You guys continue to slay me, in a big way. I don't know how you do it, keeping to the textile text, and tweaking it in your fleecy and creamy ways.
This audience member appreciates all your efforts.
Paul
-
Thanks Paul! I'm trying to give her some new life. She doesn't get much in the movie. I plan on having some fun with her. Hopfully it will work
.So glad you enjoyed iT!
And your so right, Alec and Nicki are hilarious. Love that last skit. So funny!! And I laughed so hard at Alec's post with Jacks father outside the motel. Too funny.
Everyone is doing wonderfully! It's so fun to read! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Well I think this weekend has been a rip-roaring success, we do have a bunch of stars in our midst, don't we?? :D :D And in case anyone missed it the first two times (like I did) check out the boys' eyes here, will ya?? Alec, you are a freakin' genius! :-* :-* :-*
ERNIE:
ALMA, don't smoke that strange cigarette. It's dangerous and bad for you, and I ain't tokin'.

For all Performance Thread fans who have said they are a little dazed and confuzed, I'm planning to submit another synopsis covering the last 1,000 posts or so by this weekend. This will be chapter 2 of my PT Synopsis, the 1st chapter being earlier in this critics thread. Hopefully this will help bring some of you up to speed, including our next Ennis who is warming up in the wings, Scott6373.

Lee, I loved Chapter One. And I think it's great that different Brokies are getting the chance to revolve through the parts. I think Scott will be our fifth Ennis (Brandon --> DeeDee (and briefly Courtney) --> Louise --> Scott, each making their own mark. :)

why is a new Ennis warming up in the wings? You asked me this question in PM and I explained that I had signed up long long ago to play Older Ennis and my present role was a favor to take over for Dee. I am not so greedy as to not be willing to step out of the role, but I do wish to play it for part of the older Ennis portion, so please don't fire me for doing DeeDee a favor, okay? Thanks!

Louise and Scott, how about if the two of you PM each other and figure out who does Ennis when. Then if you PM the casting and continuity director, Jane (JakeTwist), she can plan accordingly.
So far there has been no "firing" on the PT, and IMO no one has the authority to do so. Every bit is done by individual members who show up when and how they want and bring their own creativity, personality and good will. We all dance around and with each other, and the cooperation and "riffing" off of each other has been a beautiful thing.
-
Sorry, everybody,
I am going to have to leave the role of Ennis in other hands as of now. Nice playing with you all!

:o :o

Well, it looks to me like Louise is winding up her role as Ennis. It seems rather sudden, but sometimes people get busy with other things and, believe me, these roles can get demanding! Demanding beer after beer, smokin... it gets tiresome! So, thanks and applause go to Louise for the portrayal of Ennis during the month of October! Now, I'd better get busy on that synopsis to help bring our new Ennis, Scott6373, up to speed. He expressed interest in the role during one of our organized chats in September. I can tell you from personal experience that Scott is a very funny and witty guy, very knowledgeable about the movie, and a real team player. He is also a longtimer on Bettermost altho he doesn't post a lot. He doesn't say much, but he gets his point across! Please join me in welcoming Scott6373!
-
Welcome Scott! You make sure your ENNIS looks after my TERRY CLOTH, y'hear? ;) ;D
-
Welcome Scott! Your going to be great!

feel free to pm me anytime!

Looks like Louise gets the good end of the deal - she got all the raspin' and toe steppin' and jouncin', and Scott's gonna have to live with the aftermath with Alma. :)
Louise, thanks for taking us through hawtness, and Scott, welcome, we look forward to your unique take on Ennis.
(Where's the little clapping emoticon when you need it?) :)
-
Where do I apply to write a few more jouncing scenes for Scott?? :P ;D
-
Hell, if he wants jouncin' scenes, he can put 'em in himself. I'm sure Jack won't mind.
-
Where do I apply to write a few more jouncing scenes for Scott?? :P ;D
Ya don't hafta apply!! ;) ;D Ya just do it!!! :-* If you an Scott get together on the q.t. to write scenes, nobody's gonna ob-ject!! ;D

Here's a link to Chapter One of the synopsis, which takes us from the very beginnings up through early August. I'm hard at work on Chapter Two now!

Chapter Two: BrokenArsed Mountain
(Cast List on the way from Jake Twist, Director)
We left Ennis and Alma at the weddin. When next we see them, it's at the weddin of Olivia Owl and Terry Cloth (JBB has been last sited across the Pond somewheres). Jack's also been invited to the weddin and sees Ennis briefly, and Alma gets a notion that somethin strange is goin on with her husband. Also at the weddin are Timmy and friend as well as Guy Raphaelson, which leads to a virtuoso performance between Daniel and himself. Olivia and TC fly off to their honeymoon treehouse, but it doesn't take long before Olivia decides she's married a Waschlappen and she deserts him.
Meanwhile, shooting is proceeding lickety split. The drive-in is featuring a show by Ray-mille, Becky warms up to play baby Alma Jr., and yours truly, Front-Ranger, has to play Alma and Aguirre all at once, running back and forth between the choky trailer and the clothesline!! Fortunately, the warshrag, whom she's sweet on, shows up to help her prepare for the dreaded flipover scene, but where is Jack's Body Butter when you need him? Rumor is he's held up in Portland because they won't allow liquids on planes (how U can call JBB a liquid is beyond me!). While waiting for JBB to show up, the bikers, Jimbo, and Monroe rehearse. Jack's pants scooch over and fill in as Ennis's jammy pants. Finally, Alma makes do with Vick's Vapo-Rub stolen from Jenny, and the scene is successfully played.
The bikers, the bartender, the bull, and our boy Jack gather in the bar to shoot some b's while the bedroom scene winds up, with many appearances of Timmy and his son. Michael Jackson (in the audience) is offended by a crack that Ray-Mille makes and stands up with his girls to object. He's pretty put out butt gets distracted by Jack's desperate plea for a rodeo announcer and gracefully steps up and takes the part, along with a customized rendition of Beat It. clickhere (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=2739.msg78494#msg78494)
Later, in the bar, a touching scene between Jack and Jimbo is rudely interrupted by the arrival of Bimbo, as well as the entrance of the bull, Michael Jackson, and Mrs. Twist. Michael and the Mrs. go off with Billie Jean to make cherry cake at Neverland, while the bull teaches Jack a thing or two about the tango, and Gnarls the bartender steals the show without even coming out from behind his bar!
Meanwhile in Riverton, everyone prepares for the fireworks and the bikers arrive with a fine picnic avec un petite pate gros that they picked up at Monroe's place earlier. But Ennis, overhearing them discuss the finer points of the gustation, picks a fight, and Monroe realizes with quel horreur that Alma has married a cibophobe!! (Or is that a francophobe?) http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=2739.msg79586#msg79586 (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=2739.msg79586#msg79586)
Back at the rodeo, Cher has graciously agreed to be the new announcer, with designs on Monroe, who sent a care package to the ailing bikers. Jack reluctantly returns the red hat to Lureen, and Monroe takes off for Wyoming with the bikers, with Cher in hot pursuit. JBB finally shows up again around #2405, and Lureen mesmerizes Jack with spinning pasties stolen from Cher. The FSD provides crystal balls to get things moving btwn Jack and Lureen, and finally she stops eatin long enough to ensnare Jack, after which Cher and David Tassel-hoff break into the T-bird and retrieve their sacred relics.
-
Lee, that's great. Hey, I've got an idea - at one time I put Chapter One of your synopsis at the beginning of the PT, but it was pointed out that that spoils the surprise for people just getting started reading the PT.
So how about this - I could put LINKS to the Synopsis Chapters in the first post of the PT. "Click here for Chapter One, here for Chapter Two, etc"
Oh! And Jane, that gives me another idea!!! We could do the same thing for the Cast List - Instead of keeping the updated Cast List in the first post, we could just keep a LINK to the Cast List. And we could keep the Cast List itself in a post of yours, and then you would always be able to update it!
Ach, my most genius idea in a long time. What do you think?
-
Sounds great to me!
-
Sounds great to me!
Jane, I'm going to guess you like this idea too, and do it now. Let me know if something would work better.
-
Sounds great to me!
Jane, I'm going to guess you like this idea too, and do it now. Let me know if something would work better.
Yeah, I like this idea just fine, about the links to the synopsisessss.., this gets my vote!! ;D
J
-
Lee-Fronty, I LOVE your synopsesesesss! Part 2 was especially helpful to me, even though I'm pretty sure I eventually did read all the original posts. I've barely had any spare minutes to read, let alone post on the PT (thanks to that pesky 'job' thing I have to do), and your retelling clarifies it all for me very well! I even got a mention as 'JAMMY PANTS'--- thank you! My seasonal job will be winding down, so hopefully I'll be able to assume a more active PANTS-life on the thread. Who knows, I may need to reprise my role as the SPIT IN ENNIS'S HAND! ;D Wheee, dawgies! I'm very much loving the direction the PT has taken during its existence-- it has a life of its own, meandering, bouncing around, red-lining forward, stopping to savor some sun or Wyoming wind...... surprising us with new characters (Guy, Terry, Owlma... JBB and all the others) and rewarding us with true-to-story/film portrayals of our heroes in their all-important scenes of love and lust. What a glorious thing our Performance Thread has become, thanks to ALL those who have participated and added their unique offerings. Mr. Ray-mille certainly propelled the performance forward, with the help of the magnificent, sweetest pea in the pod, Ellemeno, and the driving force and capable hands of JakeTwist (Jane). I hope we never forget that the whole concept of this thread was the idea of our very own PEEING SHEEP, Becky--- Becky, look what you've done! :laugh:
Anyway, I'm just sayin'....... Thanks!

Chapter Three:
Along about page 168, Terry Cloth gives us an update of the subplots, which helps revive a few buried audience members:
http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=2739.msg87512#msg87512 (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=2739.msg87512#msg87512)
Ennis, handin out hay to the heifers, doesn't know it but apparently he has come down with a case of crabs. The cows are all perky and, to celebrate 2,500 posts, do an udderly fabulous dance. They also send a moo-gram to Jack that somehow gets garbled. Guy and Lucise have a lovely dinner at a Bavarian restaurant, and Lucise proposes in a unique way. The audience goes crazy at the prospect of another wedding. But before that can happen, there are high jinks on the set. What's goin on, Heath is getting it on with Jack and then sneaking off to Michelle's trailer! Jack, leaving the trailer, finds JBB lying in the grass!
Mel Gibson shows up to steal Guy away, but he would have none of it. At last their love is consumated around #2600-2700 with so much passion that Lucise's trailer bursts into flames. The bull wakes up, hears the moogram, and crashes thru several china shops. Monroe, Lucas, and assorted divas prepare for the weddins of Lucise, Guy, Lureen, and Jack. Jack writes a postcard for JBB to send to Terry Cloth that makes him think of his lost love and the entire cast and audience are inconsolable until the rodeo clowns show up.
The high preistess shows Jack what Ennis's miserable life is like up in Riverton. Meanwhile, Monroe tells Ennis that Alma is in the condoms aisle, er the consumates consomme aisle, and the cows try desperately to reach Ennis thru a bullboard. When the peanuts fall, Monroe realizes quel horreur that Ennis is an Arachibutyrophobe! There is much to-do to get ready for the weddings, now that the Queen is coming!! The Eagles griped about Mika the mule's song, but it set the tone for what was to follow...L.D. and Fayette readied themselves as the sun came out. Mika sings another great song with the mikette's that makes Cowl Porter applaud and the Broken Arsed Orchestra plays Ride of the Valkyries in lieu of the bridal march.
In Jack's pocket, the lonely JBB sings the Warshrag's Lament: http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=2739.msg97660#msg97660 (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=2739.msg97660#msg97660)
Then, producer's assistant Laurel Sparta shows up to get everybody back on schedule, but they're waiting for Lucise and Guy to get hitched. Since it appear that Guy's goin to be in the tub until the 12th of never, Jack sends his post card to Ennis at post #2996. With new cast members Leslie and Geri, the set swings back into life. Terry Cloth gets Ennis to help send a post card back to JBB saying "You wet!" Just as Jack appears for the reunion scene, Burp Bert and Ernie get together to the chagrin of Miss Piggy!
-
Chapter Four:
Hurrah, it's the reunion! Not just Jack and Ennis, but also Terry Cloth and JBB are back together once again! Across the street, the Cauk Brothers cackle about the goings-on, inspiring a punfest by one and owl. Keys turn, tumblers tumble, and lightning flashes, and the high priestess pronounces it good ('cept for the puns). Over in Room 24 of the Siesta Motel, the mattress, box springs, sheets, and pillowcase are tryin to recover from a nite of jouncing, while in the laundromat, JBB is lying, still half-tubescent, in the cradling folds of Terry Cloth. Meanwhile Uncle Harold is thinkin back 20 years to when he and Joe Aguirre had it all before them, and Alma is in a daze after fishin a funny cigarette out of Ennis's pocket. JBB has a proposition for Terry at http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=2739.msg102998#msg102998 (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=2739.msg102998#msg102998) but he rejects it cause he's caught in his own loop. Alma's fairy godfather appears with the news that Monroe loves her, along with all his own problems, and Dame Edna gives her a scholarship to finishing school. The mob audience clamours for more love scenes, but they are pacified by cider and donuts in the Green Room as everyone prepares for Halloween. And now, on with the show!!

Coffeecat-Leslie! You are cracking me up! Thanks for keeping the crowd entertained through those drowsy autumn days! :-*
-
C'mon guys, poor Leslie's keeping this ship afloat all by her lonesome!! Yay Leslie!! Where's Ennis got to??
The warshrag will be AWOL until the weekend at least, so that's JBB outa the loop for a few days I'm afraid... :'(
-
Thanks for your support, Nicky. I think it's wise to give JBB a rest after that workout in the Siesta Motel!!
We are waiting for a new Ennis to arrive but until then I think Alma may have a few things to say. There is room for Alma Jr to run in for the next scene to say, "Bring me a fish, daddy, a big fish." But don't know if she'll be able to make an appearance.
??? where is ever'body? ???
-
We are going to need Becky. Alma jrs line is coming up next!! :)
-
We need an Ennis.

Any thoughts on a new Ennis? Jane and I thought I would finish up the apartment scene in the mean time. Kinda through Alma's eyes. Once we get this finished there is all sorts of other things that can happen while a new Ennis is recruited. Like maybe, The wedding of Guy and Lucise? :laugh:
-
Yay!!!! The random heifers are back!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Phew!!! I'm sweatin from all the activity goin' on at The Performance Thread. :P
Looks like Jack & Ennis will soon be at the campsite !!! ;)
-
Be careful what U wish for, Leslie. U just might get it!! As Alma/Aguirre/Chilean Sheepherder #1, I surely can relate.
-
Meryl, I loved your explanation of what everyone's been getting up to in secret, and that description of the wildly sensual goings-on in the sacred relics room. :-* :-* Of course, it's especially great to note that Monroe evidently got some. More than some! ;D
And if there's an award here for most unexpectedly erotic imagery, this one's gotta be a strong contender:
Ennis’s Toothbrush slowly polishes Jack’s Belt Buckle, millimeter by loving millimeter.
:P
DeeDee, it's lovely to see you back. :) Are you stepping into Ennis's shoes again just for today, or for a longer period?
-
Aw, bless ya, Mika! Thanks for the lovely feedback. :-* :-*

Look smart, lovely audience and cast/crew members!! Tent Scene #3 coming up, and this time it falls right after the jumping-into-the-lake scene!!!

Danke schön! :)

Thank you!!! They deserve to be treated right!!
-
Geri, Leslie, Mika, Meryl, I love what you all are doing with the PT. I could single out a bunch, but I'll pick this one: http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=2739.msg117544#msg117544
To the newer folk, did you know that way back, there were references to Scarlet O'Hara, and to bananas, or is it coincidence that you are bringing them into the PT again?
Elle

It's a group
effort funfest. Thank you very much. [modest blush] cc33 aka Jack F*cking Twist
-
Thanks Clarrisa . For me it's the creativity of those I am working with that brings on the new ideas and the fun!
I remember some reference awhile back about Scarlet, but that is not why I used "Gone with the Wind".
It's just one of my favorite stories. So is "Wizard Of Oz"... can you tell?
Anyways they both seem to work for Alma. And Mika is following along like it was written just for Monroe!! :laugh: :laugh:

((I think we better get Broken-Arsed Mountain copyrighted pronto!! ::) 8) ::) ))
Bangbroek Mountain: The Musical About Camping
By Theresa Smith
Director: Fred Abrahamse
Music: Charl-Johan Lingenfelder
Cast: Marcel Meyer, Grant Almirall, Lilian Khumalo, Dorothy Engelbrecht, Marguerita Freeks
Venue: On Broadway, Shortmarket Street, Cape Town until January 6
Having a merry old time during the silly season takes on new meaning at On Broadway this year with a deliciously camp experience.
While clearly a send-up of the movie Brokeback Mountain, the musical is also original with inventive lyrics and jokes flying left, right and centre.
It's laugh-a-minute with Jacques and Emmil, from the moment they meet at Voortrekker camp on Bangbroek Mountain, through their clandestine meetings on the mountain until they end up together 40 years later. Or not, as the audience decides.
Depending on what the audience votes for at half-time, the musical either has a sad ending or a happy ending and the sheer volume of spoilt votes on media night meant the sappy sentimentalists won out for a happy ending.
Whether you have watched the film or not you can guess what's coming, but they still manage to make it a novel experience.
They are telling the story of two guys who are hemmed in by circumstance and doomed never to be together simply because they are two guys. But at the same time ripping off society's pre-occupation with "normal".
The entire experience is entertaining, fun, a tad poignant and above all, imaginative. Yes, it's a spoof of the movie but the dialogue is oh-so-South African and the music is completely new.
The story starts off in the 1960s and moves through the decades, which is reflected in the music. Though the melodic theme is evident throughout the tone changes through to 1970s funk, 1980s disco and beyond.
Three Tons of Fun produce the goods as the Cowletts, playing a sort of Greek chorus.
For the most part the story belongs to the guys, though every now and then they do interact with the gals, even if it is just to shut them up.
The guys can act, sing and never break out of character, though there was a twitch or two which threatened to blow up in laughter.
Luckily the dialogue flows fast, so they have to concentrate and get beyond the potential breakdown point.

The more, the merrier! I'd like to see that. Pity it's on the other side of the world.
I'd sure have voted for the sappy happy ending too. :D
-
Hey Leslie,
Just so you know your humor is not falling on deaf ears: love the "Cissy Fuss"/rolling the boulder reference!

PS Where's the warshrag??
Hi Paul. The warshrag is going through an extended spin cycle at the moment and isn't expected back on set anytime soon. :'( So no JBB action for a while either! :(
-
Tell you what - if JBB isn't back soon, Jack is going to have to get a new sponsor! How's he supposed to keep his butt soft? Hunh!?

I was just gettin together with Brokie friends in Denver this weekend, and people were saying how much they love this performance!!
-
Really? Friends in Denver? Are they members here? Guests?
That's really nice! Although we seem to be slowing down here a bit. Must be the Christmas shopping.
-
It's an intermission...
Quick, grab drinks and popcorn while you can.
-
Well, yes, I've started another ~~PERFORMANCE~~ Thread.... :) Anyone who feels like Auntie Mame We Need a Little Christmas, Right This Very Moment is free to visit.
-
Daniel and Leslie, thank you for keeping the PT going! :)
I think many of us regulars may have hit a dry spell...... and the kind of spontaneous crazy creativity required here just can't be forced. :-\
-
I know... I suppose it would be a little impossible to have the same expectations that Ang did for his version. After all, no one's getting paid to do this.
As for me, I am still smitten.
-
Applause for the new adventures of Monroe and Alma! And for JakeTwist's unflagging faith in the PT! :-*
-
I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas!
I won't be on again till tuesday or wed. Alma's looking forward to a reason to divorce Ennis and get on with her life with Monroe.
Jane ,Leslie, here's wishing you a great Christmas. You too Daniel. Mika. Dee ,Clarissa ,Meryl and Lee and all the rest of you great people!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

happy holidays everyone! -cc33

Dear BetterMostians and Fellow Thespians:
I’m not quittin’ you, but I need to spend more time in RL and less time in cyber space.
I am still unemployed and have to get serious about finding a job.
I started to write more but I think I’ll just leave it at this.
Please send me an email any time. I also have a site on myspace if you want to stop by. (http://www.myspace.com/coffeecat33)
Guess I’ll see you around, huh?

I personally want to say thank-you to you for being such a big part of The Performance! Your quick wit and hilarious humor has been a huge asset to this experience!! It's been a great pleasure to work with you on these scenes. And it was always a treat to log on and see what crazy, outrageous post you might of posted that day or night!
I will cherish the friendship we have built. And, you know that I wish you all the luck in the world. Once you get on your feet in the "real world" maybe you can rejoin us here once again!! For now, here's a well deserved standing ovation!

Hear Hear!!
I second this motion, Leslie the PT owes an incalculable debt to you. These past three months (is that how long it has been?) have been a gift from you and I hope you know how happy I was to have you in the PT. I might as well say it, I wish you weren't leaving, but I know you have to do what you have to do. If you ever want to come back please know that the door is always open.

By popular demand, Her Majesty the Queen would like to bestow upon our honorary citizen Leslie Coffecat the Order of the Warped Humour, in recognition of her tireless work on the PT and services to cyber-comedy everywhere.
God bless her, and all who sail in her... ;) :-*

Coffeecat blushes, stammers, looks down and draws little arcs in the dirt with the toe of her cowgirl boot.
"Shucks." (blushes fiercely) "Thanks so much." (tears up, runs and hides under the couch)
%%The queen herself!! Gosh!%%
-
Leslie, the old place just won't be the same without you! Hurry up and get that danged RL stuff dealt with so you can come back here and keep us entertained, okay? Meanwhile, thanks a million for the wonderful zaniness that is you. :-*
Btw, I apologize to any PT'ers who might have been alarmed by the severity of the HP's last couple of posts. She was just enjoying the chance to be a drama queen, thanks to the Warshrag and our beloved Director providing an opening. I plan to stick around, whether you want me or not. ;)
-
Yay, bravo!!
I second what Meryl says, Leslie!!
--Best Boy, aka Front-Ranger

Leslie, it's good to know when to focus on what. So hooray for doing that for yourself. But I'm going to miss your creativity.
Meryl, you bet your scrawny ass we want you.

A big welcome to Barb (ednbarby), our new ENNIS! Thanks for donning the mantle, Barb, or should I say boots? ;D

Let's hear it for Geri / Alma and her amazing "first date" recollection! That took effort, creativity and a very lively sense of humour! Go you! 8)
~ From an impressed Monroe, overwhelmed as ever by ALMA's many charms and talents! :)
-
Awhhhh! Thank you Milkaela! Could'nt have done it without you! sometimes it's kinda disturbing (crazy) to think of all the effort I put in to these scenes. but I concider it to be an creative outlet. I'll just keep thinking that way! ;)
!Note to Barb... Your doing great as Ennis! Nice to see you dived right in head first!!! :laugh:
-
I echo Mikaela's praises of Geri's Alma. What a creation she is! You never know what to expect. Don's Nuts is the perfect BrokenArse equivalent to Riverton's Knife and Fork. ;D
-
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: M E R Y L !!! Just trying to follow you! It's not easy!!!
-
I really enjoyed the first date sequence too! Brava!!
-
Thanks Lee~ I enjoyed the first date too. They were so nervous and shy.
Meryl and Daniel~MEXICAN PSYCHIATRIST: LMAO!!! Two thumbs up, hilarious stuff!
-
Getting some nice momentum again. Bravo.
Hey, Meryl, do you have to turn the shrink into a pimp? Shrinks get such a bad rap in the media. :)

Thanks Paul :-*. Ya never know, JBB might get a chance to come back ;) - I just figured there was no part for him in the PT right now.
-
Alas for JBB! We loved him well. If the High Priestess could conjure back that Warshrag she would, but it seems he has other linen closets to conquer. The dryer door will always be open, though, so we'll continue to hope. :-\
Nice job on the Butt Cream's Farewell, Nicky! :-*
-
Thanks Paul :-*. Ya never know, JBB might get a chance to come back ;) - I just figured there was no part for him in the PT right now.
Well, **somehow** ::) JBB got away from Jack and joined the Del Mar Household, so it was hard for Jack to keep tabs on him.

Thanks Meryl. I really hope something will crop up where I can bring JBB back at some point (a new beau perhaps, if anyone would care to step up?) 'cos he's such fun to play, but I thought I'd rather give him a decent exit than just fade away. The PT is so much fun, and I miss being part of it.
Well, **somehow** ::) JBB got away from Jack and joined the Del Mar Household, so it was hard for Jack to keep tabs on him.
I can't even remember how JBB ended up at the Del Mar's Daniel!! :-\ Maybe he'll appear on a shelf at one of those Wyoming discount stores one of these days... ;)

I love the 'staches, the Mexican prostitute metamorphosizing into a mental health counselor/sex surrogate, JBB's song (but prithee, not a swan song!) and all the beautiful creativity.

((Jack thinks for a moment.)) **Nah, for some reason, that just ain't right.**

Mikaela.
I'm sooo sorry to hear that your not playing Monroe anymore! This is a big loss to TP! You managed to make Monroe's character charming, whitty and attractive. Your sense of humor and imagination brought so much to TP .I don't know how we will replace you as Monroe.!! This is sad news to get !
-
Okay, folks, we're counting down to the big marathon! Here's info for those following the link in the banner on the main page:
Our beloved Performance is now over 4,000 posts strong, and at last we're up to the Thanksgiving scenes of the BetterMost production of Broken Arsed Mountain!
Starting at midnight on Friday, we'll be in Childress for the Twists' turkey day. Roles that are taken include JACK (Daniel), LUREEN (Front-Ranger), FAYETTE NEWSOME (goadra) and BOBBY (RouxB). The role of L. D. NEWSOME is up for grabs, so anyone can jump in and play his part.
There's no limit on what other characters can show up to comment on the action. Be creative! We need audience members, production crew, media reporters...even inanimate objects. Wanna be the turkey? Go for it! Have an idea for a commercial interruption? Sell it, baby! ;D
Once we've told L. D. to sit his ignorant ass down, we'll head for Riverton and Monroe's house. Roles taken already are ENNIS (ednbarby) and ALMA (Arad-3). Up for grabs are MONROE, ALMA, JR., JENNY and THE TRUCKER.
Come hell or high water, we'll get ENNIS into that brawl outside the Black 'n' Blue Eagle by midnight Sunday. If we get further than that, YEEHAW! Should be some very high class entertainment! ;D ;D ;D
-
IT HAS BEGUN! ;D
Great work, y'all! Keep it up! I'm goin' to bed, though. See you tomorrow! :-*
-
Yes I agree Meryl. Bed time for me too!
Great work everybody!! Some really funny stuff! Tomorrow's another day!
night!
-
I don't know about you all, but I'm cracking up.... This is a hoot!
-
I don't know about you all, but I'm cracking up.... This is a hoot!
Speaking of hoots, Anke promised Olivia would show up to this party! Yoo-hoo, Anke, wo bist du? ::) ;)
-
Goin' out for a bit... be back in a few minutes.
-
Speaking of hoots, Anke promised Olivia would show up to this party! Yoo-hoo, Anke, wo bist du? ::) ;)
Um... sorry. I've been hooting, or rather singing (really!), at another (real life) party... ;D
Good work everybody! See ya on the PT!
:)
-
I have a party gettin ready to start at my house too! Planning for the big BBQ in May...I'll try to save some energy for Lureen to say a few words later on tonite.
-
Going out with my brother for an hour or so... Will be back later.... :(
-
Hey guys, I'm signing off for a while too! Got some plans for the evening! Maybe will do Riverton tonight or dedicate tomorrow to Almas Thanksgiving! Don't start it without me! :)
-
Back in a little bit, grabbing something to eat.
-
YEEHAW! Mika's back! 8) 8) 8)
-
Yep, Come on, L.D. Ya reckon we can finish our argument before tonight?
Ya think you can find some cuter pics of Hugh, not that I don't mind the ones already, but I think we have a whole thread of them somewhere around here.
-
Well that was certainly different.... Whew, never knew I had to think to do this role, did ya?
-
Hee hee! That pic of Hugh on the floor had to be used somehow, don't you think? :laugh:
-
It's 3:00 AM, thanks to the early onslaught of Daylight Savings Time! Goodnight, Daniel. :-*
I have to work from 1:00 - 9:00 tomorrow, so I hope a bunch more folks show up for the Riverton celebration. Fingers crossed that Mika will play Monroe! 8)
It was great to see Acoustic Man and LauraGigs tonight along with our beloved regulars. Encore! 8)
-
OMG the pictures of Fayette made me spit my cereal all over my computer screen! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
OMFG - LD in the "submissive" pose had me ROFLMAO!!!! I nearly split a gut. Is that Hugh Jackman aka Wolverine on the floor? Er, exactly what was he demonstrating??
-
Are we finished with the Childress Thanksgiving? I had a few words more to say if we're not.
-
You jest jump in, Lee. There ain't no reins on this one! - Leslie/stand-in Ennis/Empress
-
Hello, I'm back online for a couple of hours so I fiigured I might as well put on Monroe's boots for a little while. Though seeing the relatives Geri's come up with, perhaps I should reconsider! ;D
-
Milkea,
Im so glad to see you here as Mnroe! Don't be afraid of your family... they love you!! Just indulge me and play with me here!
-
I'm ROTFLMAO at the Riverton Thanksgiving! And ecstatic to see Mika back, if even for a few hours. Keep up the good work, guys. I'll be back on later tonight. :-*
Thanks for the feedback, Eric and Leslie! :-*
-
I'm saying goodnight now, the night is getting old. It's been oodles of fun, but if I don't log off I'll never manage to get myself to work tomorrow!
Have fun continuing the scene. It's been great! Thank you all. :)
Bye!
-
SO glad you were here, Mikaela! Thanks for all the great posts. G'night.

Wheew! Enough Thanksgiving for me! Thanks so much to Leslie and Mikaela for stepping back in and making it happen tonight! I know sometimes It's hard to know what I am doing cause I do tend to get a little carried away with my characters, I'll be the first to admit it. But you two always seem to catch on fast and jump right in and cut loose!
That was really fun!! :laugh:
-
I just got in and read the last six pages! OMG you guys are the greatest! :laugh:
That was some of the wackiest stuff we've had on the PT, and that's saying something. Loved Alma's Church Lady family, and the Empress, and the dry turkey and sloshed Monroe! Too funny! ;D
My heroes: Leslie, Geri, Mika, for making sure we got to our goal in record time! And Daniel, it's great to see Guy and Lucise back on board. LauraGigs and Acoustic Man and Pipedream, thanks for your funny contributions. :D
I don't know about you all, but I had a super Happy Thanksgiving! 8) ;D

I have finally had a chance to read the entire marathon from start to finish in peace and quiet. I have to say it really is amazing! From start to finish it was incredibly funny!
The Childress thanksgiving was outstanding! J.D with his razor sharp fingers and Fayette fading away from starvation. Bobby whining, the fruitloops, Jack, Lureen, etc... the whole scene just blended so perfectly! I could go on and on! Cheers to all of you guys! LMAO!!!
In Riverton we couldn't go wrong with Leslie and Milkaela playing Ennis and Monroe again! Today I was falling over laughing at Monroe being so drunk at dinner! Of course thats Pipedreams fault for bringing the whiskey! Good idea! Monroe didn't have to drink so much, with his mother there and all, but I'm sure glad he did! Hilarious! And Leslie your Ennis was unbelievable! He was really scary in the kitchen! And that fight scene after with the trucker made me roar! Thank you for putting on those soothing pictures in the end. We all sure needed them!
Oh yes ..special thanks to LauraGigs , Pipedream and Acoustic mans great contributions!
Bravo!!! Everyone!!
-
I'm really sorry that RouxB and ednbarby and goadra had to miss out on playing BOBBY, ENNIS and FAYETTE this weekend. :( But, hey, you can always contribute flashbacks! There's no reins on this thing. ;)
For those who missed the big marathon, here's approximately where the build-up to Thanksgiving begins in the thread: http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,2739.msg159809.html#msg159809 (http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,2739.msg159809.html#msg159809)

Meryl, you have really outdone yourself! What an intro to the next scenes!
Yeehaw!

I wish I understood what all this was about...someone tried to explain it to me once, but my partially ossified brain just couldn't grasp it.

Bless you, Scott, the best explanation I've ever been able to come up with for the PT is that it's an ongoing work of Folk Art. Its inner workings are a mystery, but sometimes it's hilarious (most times!) and sometimes heartbreaking, often frustrating, but never boring. Just go with the flow, and something will speak to you eventually. ;D

It's a twelve ring circus, and all the acts in it are free form. :)

I was just wondering if anyone has seen or heard from our director ""WELLIWONT" the former JACKTWIST? I have not noticed posts from her since before the Thanksgiving marathon. I don't think she has commented on the Thanksgiving Weekend either.
I know she's been sighted at Jake-watch. So shes still around but... Does anybody here know anything about Jane?
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Anyone remember that movie with Betty Davis?
-
Jane, where are you?

Thanks Scott. I sure wish she would stop by and show us some direction here. Not that any of us need it!!! :D Just miss having her around is all.

hey you guys!
What a coincidence! I was just mentally flagelating myself this afternoon for being AWOL for so dam long, I have no excuse. I talked to Barb over at JW today (my secret retreat) and I was thinking of returning asap. A'course I move at a snail's pace, so I may not finish composing my post until tomorrow, if I start working on it right now. So yeah, I'll be back! tomorrow fer sure!
-
Well, today is a banner day for the PT! The Director reappeared after a long sabbatical, the Best Boy provided one of her famous synopses, albeit a short one, and Lynne's LASHAWN made an auspiciously gabby and funny debut. YEEHAW! ;D
-
Yay Lynne as LaShawn! Very loquacious. :)

Hey folks, I feel another marathon coming on....
Daniel, Kelda, Lee and Lynne: Are all of you going to be available, say, this Sunday and Monday, to do a marathon posting for the Ennis/Cassie and Randall/Lashawn/Jack/Lureen scenes? If not, when's the soonest you might be able to be around for it?
Also, is anyone on this thread up to volunteering to play Ennis, at least for the little scene preceding the one where Ennis meets Cassie? That'd be the one at the creek where he asks Jack if it's normal and all between him and Lureen. It doesn't matter if you already play a role (like Geri or Mika or Nicky or Leslie or Anke or Milli) or sit in the audience (Paul, Scott, Clarissa, adiabatic, LauraGigs, acousticman). ;) It's just an eeny weeny little scenette. C'mon, you could do it, you know you could! ;D
Answer soon, so we can do it soon! 8)

Jane, this is the PERFORMANCE thread! Verbatim? Shiiit, that's hard! ;D
C'mon, you've done some brilliant posts as the Director. I'm sure you're up to riffing a bit on Ennis. ;)
I'm all for you doing it. Just take the plunge, and Daniel will follow in his inimitable fashion. 8)

Quoting myself here....
So far only Lynne has checked in. I guess if I don't hear from Daniel, Kelda and Lee today, we should postpone the marathon. :(
But Jane and Daniel, please go ahead with the creek scene if you're around. :-*
-
I'm up for anything, Meryl.... we just gotta get an Ennis to respond to what's going on now... or heck, startin' up somethin' new in the same scenario if he wants....
-
Jane has offered to do the creek scene if she can do the lines verbatim, so you can start if you'd like. :)
-
Yee-haw, let's do the creek scene! And then, I'm also available for the "Your buddy could come down to Texas" scene too.
-

I don't know how you're supposed ta go verbatim with a brand new production that's never been done before... but here goes.

Thanks, Lee, but that "buddy" scene done come and gone awhile ago. You mean the Randall/Lashawn scene?

Actually, I meant to say the Suggesting Ennis Moves to Texas scene.
-
Well, I was out all day and hoped I'd see some action on the PT when I logged on, but Hayl, no! I don't think this marathon is gonna happen from the looks of it. We'll figure out a time soon, I hope, and give more notice so people can make plans to be around. 8)
-
Give a warm Wyomin Welcome to LauraGigs, our new Ennis!! Yee-haw, Woo-hoo, and Yipp-eee!!!!
(Goes back to punchin in numbers in mah addin machine))
-
Yay, LauraGigs! You are already a legendary Ennis! Love the pigs. ;D
Thanks to Jane for helping to get things rolling. You did a great job! 8)
Daniel, I loves me the sock puppet with the little hat! Hope he's not gone for good. ;D
-
Jane, you done great!!
[Elle modestly beams because she a) told Jane she KNEW she could do it, and b) suggested LauraGigs when Jane declined.] :)
-
Ah Elle, thanks sweetie! Oh and Meryl too!! Couldn't you tell I was skeered to death? Sooo glad Laura showed up!! you're a peach Laura!!
:-* to all three of you!
-
PS: yep, your recommendations sure came in handy Elle, I'm sure that won't be the last time you come to the rescue Pal! very soon we are gonna need an Alma Jr. Like in the very next scene!! eeep!!

Thanks yall! This is fun. I'll be back (hopefully) tonight to drop into the Wolf's ear saloon...

I believe you are right LG, and I have been Casting about for a "Randall" since last week with no takers. I am flummoxed, not sure if we should do the scene as Jack tells about it later on, Ranch Foreman's Wife instead of Ranch Foreman, or ??
-
It might be fun if we did what happened for Thanksgiving. Proxy Randalls could pop up whenever, like Proxy Fayettes, etc. 8)

OMFG, LauraGigs, you da hilarious BOMB:

I dunno Lee, it's never been done before I don't think, one actor playing two different people in the same scene, sitting at the same table?!! In a stage play I mean. hmmmm, I will have to check my Director's Handbook and also check with the Actors' Guild about that. In the meantime you are still Lureen are you not?

Oh, in my haste to play Randall to Daniel's Jack, I forgot I'm still Lureen!! Can I switch??
But, nevermind, you are doing a great job as Randall!!
-
Switch?!! Are you kidding me? I'm having a heck of a time channeling Randall, you think I can just do a switcheroo just like that??
The ac-tor playing LaShawn won't come out of her trailer, maybe you can help with that hunny? Hmm?? That is what the show is waiting on....
Can all the actors waiting to say their lines go knock on LaShawn's (Lynne)'s trailer? thanks.
(PS: thanks Lee!)

Randall:
"Do ya know what a croppie house is? Never mind, that's not important."
LMAO, Welliwont!! What a great line! :laugh:
-
Thanks Daniel, Jane and Mika (always great when you drop by!) for continuing the scene so cleverly! Will Lynne reappear, or will Lashawn do another of her now legendary interpretive dances? Can't wait! ;D
-
LMAO, Welliwont!! What a great line! :laugh:
Hey Laura,
thanks! I tell ya, it's like pulling teeth to get that stuff outa me. I am not cut out to be a performer, I swear!
Will Lynne reappear, or will Lashawn do another of her now legendary interpretive dances? Can't wait! ;D
Thanks Meryl, as a matter of fact, the call is out for Lynne and Lee, and if you see Lynne can you give her another poke? Right now would be the perfect time for the wives to come down those steps and wrap up this scene. :D
Then we can start the next one, Yippeee!

Since our last tête-à-tête, I have grown my collection of JACK'S PANTS TO 34, (http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/JakeTwist/Used%20on%20BetterMost/band.gif) isn't that amazing?

Thanks for the update Mel, I did not know that. Is there somebody in the wings that has LaShawn's gift of gab, who wants to do a post or two to put this scene to bed ?? Orrrrrr, we can wait until Lynne comes back to us. I don't think Lynne would mind if wrapped up this scene with help from an Extra. The necessary qualification is: tongue hinged in the middle; flapping at both ends.

in yout ube i searched for Linda Cardellini dancing and it came up with this.
From a programme called Freaks and Geeks that ran for one season in 1999/2000, but seems to have had a bit of a cult following. So really not that long ago!
http://imdb.com/title/tt0193676/ (http://imdb.com/title/tt0193676/)
It's the 1980s and at McKinley High, there's two different groups of teenagers, the Freaks with cool and charismatic Daniel DeSario (James Franco) and tomboy Lindsay Weir (Linda Cardellini) and the Geeks with Lindsay's shy younger brother Sam (John Francis Daley), gentle Bill Haverchuck (Martin Starr), and self-proclaimed ladies' man Neal Schweiber (Samm Levine). The show chronicles the normal teen/adolescence problems any teenager goes through including acceptance, drugs, drinking, and bullying.

I faked the pic for now, but I am going to have the real picture of the house up hopefully after the week-end, once I go and get the pic scanned, and put into electronic form, blah blah blah. The pics are all from the early 80's, in the olden days before digital, hahahaha.

Instead of being killed by the hard on-coming object, the giraffes are left merely a bit bruised and gooey.

Actually I can't take credit for that one; that's by Gnash (a DC-er). I asked his permission of course, & credit him at the top.
All the other posts are LauraGigs originals though!
-
Ah well, the LauraGigs ones are damn good by themselves. You get points for fessing up, though. ;D
-
Ha! I've been meaning to compliment Laura and Daniel on the continued, though leisurely, scene at the lake, but I had to stop in and say that the last image takes the cherry cake.
Not only did Laura refer to the Mexican affair, she used the actual pics of the Mexican psychiatrist and "sexual surrogate" seen earlier in the PT! Now that's artistic integrity! ;D 8)

Hear! Hear! I'm in total agreement. :)
**applauds wildly**
Perhaps we should do something like the thanksgiving marathon? Than was a lot of fun and moved the story along...except it feels irreverent to me somehow to do that to the currently ongoing scene...

I agree it seems irreverent to interrupt the dialogue between Jack and Ennis with wacky stuff. Maybe for the pie scene? Even that's stretchin' it. :P
-
Yeah, the hard thing is that the story gets more and more sad toward the end, so the potential comedy is tougher to ferret out of those scenes. Cassie's date could have some comic potential, as could Pa Twist, the pie and cake, Alma Jr's mode of transportation, etc.

I agree totally. I am glad this scene is being played with just the two of you; I think this scene of all scenes deserves seriousness. I know you have a lot on your shoulders Laura, and you're doing great!! I wish there was smthing I could do to help you, but alas there is not. I can't post funny worth a damn but I am pretty good with the organizin'. Umm that reminds me, I am OMT three scenes from now, yikes!!!
-
My apologies everyone, I have been out of town for a week, and the leisurely pace I fear was due to my keyboard dying.... (I just got a new one). You have no idea how excruciating it was to painstakingly click on each letter on the on-screen keyboard with a mouse... half the time, it not registering your letter so you have to go back and put it in again.... ahh... thats neither here nor there I suppose.
Also, I haven't been in an extremely humorous mood lately... so I fear that has been reflected in the performance, but I'll stick to it... We'll get through this storyline...
BTW, great work on those pictures; makes me wish I had half the creativity you do...

Daniel and Laura: I love the balance you are achieving between pathos and irreverence in this difficult scene.
Bravo and Brava!
-
I second the raves about the lake scene! Tackling this scene is a tall order...and you have done it exceedingly well!! Can't wait to read more!

Mika, I'm rocking with laughter at your latest role! Awesome! :laugh:

Merci, Cherie. :-*

Sorry I haven't been able to post lately. Work is driving me insane, and my mom and I had a craft show to get ready for... hopefully more coming up. I've got to post Sunday's Message, then check out the Ikea site for some things, then see if I have any time left to post on the PT. I have to go to work in an hour or two.
-
S'alright, Daniel. We know the direction yer goin', and you'll get there eventually. :)
-
Sorry for the hold-up on the pie scene, yall. I had been brainstorming for a way to start it. It shall commence later today! See you then!

Laura, dear, you made me spit up my coffee. Thanks for that.

Maybe if we all sing this together in unison, he will appear!!
Streets of Laundry (Cowboy's Wring-out)
As I walked out on the streets of Laundry,
As I walked out in Laredo one day,
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay.
"Oh, beat the stick slowly and wring me out lowly,
Tumble me dry as you carry me along,
Take me to the clothesline and clip the pins o'er me
For I'm a young warshrag and I know I've done wrong."
"I see by your dustiness that you are a cowboy"
These words he did say as I boldly stepped by,
"Come take me up and use me to wash with,
Everything you can reach for I’m eager to try."
"Oh sixteen gamblers have handled this washrag,
And sixteen cowboys have called me their own,
Take me to the clothesline and clip the pins o'er me
For I'm a young warshrag and I know I've done wrong."
"My friends and relations, they live in the Nation,
They know not where their warshrag has gone,
He first came to Texas and hired to a ranchman
Oh, I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong."
"Go write a letter to my gray-tinged mother,
And carry the same to my sister so dear,
But not a word of this shall you mention
When a crowd gathers round the laundry room here."
"Oh, beat the stick slowly and wring me out lowly,
Tumble me dry as you carry me along,
We all love our warshrags so fresh and sweet-smelling,
We all love our warshrags although they've done wrong."
"Go gather around you a crowd of young warshrags,
And tell them the story of this, my sad fate;
Tell one and the other before they go further
To stop their wild warshing before 'tis too late."
"Oh muffle your drums, then play your fifes merrily
Play the Dead March as you go along
And fire your guns right over my coffin,
There goes an unfortunate rag to his home."
"It was once in the warshpail I used to go splashing
Once in the warshpail I used to go gay,
First to the armpits and then to the North Pole
or Equator, if you were sailing that way."
"Get six jolly cowboys to make lots of suds,
Know that never my job I would quit,
Put bunches of roses all over my coffin,
Splash me around till the fire does spit."
"Then wring my cloth slowly, and tumble dry lowly,
And give a wild ding when I finally am dry,
Take me to the clothesline and hang me up tightly
For I'm a young warshrag and I know I've done wrong."
"Go bring me a cup, a cup of cold water
To cool my parched lips," the cowboy said;
Before I turned, the spirit had left him
And gone to its Giver --- the cowboy was dead.
We beat the stick slowly and wrung him out lowly,
We tumbled him dry as we sang him this song,
For we all loved our warshrag, so bright, clean and fluffy,
We all loved our warshrag although he'd done wrong."
-

I just caught up on a over a month's worth of PT. If I had butt[cream] known! Nicky! Alec! Yaad Pyar!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are all hilarious, tender, respectful, ridickelous.
And Laura, I see the real pie scene in a new light: Of course! Ennis was stoned, that's why he was so dazed and cornfused.
And Merly made me cry with her question mark over the mountain. :'(

Telephone conversation goin on now between Lureen and Ennis. Y'all are welcome to come in and cause havoc, static on the line, or add your two cents worth!

Yes, please delay it for another year... or two...
I also agree with Meryl that you're both doing a great job.

YEAH! What Dumb-Ass Mule Mikaela said! ;D
Kudos to our cast members who have the excruciating task of portraying such heartbreaking scenes. Mikaela worded it beautifully, so I'll just say I agree. Every one of us knows the real story, the dialogue word for word - please, let's allow our faithful, dedicated actors to present the story in whatever way helps to take the sting out of it while still telling the inevitable truth. 'Sell phone'? 'Mauve bucket-kicking'? Sure! Yes! 'Golden Retriever/Receiver Award'? Absolutely. Tell you what.... seeing Ennis in his Santa hat shouting 'HUNH?' at Lureen over the phone makes me smile --- right through the tears that literally just splashed on my keyboard because I'm feeling Ennis's pain (and my own) all over again. Wow. Two years later. So, yes, please... I'll take those laughs, thank you, brilliant thespians!
-
By the way, y'all... I'm playing the irritated Jack these days.... from offstage of course.... but if things get too rough, he can come out and try ta smooth things over.... He does that, you know. Seen it myself.
-
Irritated or smooth...as always, we like the direction you're goin'!!
-
.... not to mention for outstanding willpower and determination to let destiny run its course despite every hope, wish and desire to see it changed...
Hoping against hope...
Yes we all know the story.
I'm not a long-time follower of the PT but still have to get it out: I'm soooo torn between staying truthful to the story and saying 'screw it', I don't want this again.
Call me naive or sentimental, I didn't think this would effect me. But it does.
-
Oh, darlin'.... don't fret too much... We'll see what comes about.
-
I know the feeling, Chrissi. :-*
I argued back at the time of the PT Divorce scene (when PT Ennis very, very, very nearly told Jack "yes") that we should let the PT run an alternative, happier course. There was quite a discussion at the time. But I was out-voted... and well, it's been nothing but a fun, inventive ride even if it's staying true to the core of the original.

whut?? I don't remember this!?? Where was I, sleeping??? Please fill me in on this Mika, I don't remember this happening.... I don't know what you guys have planned, but I thought we were doing the story, are you guys planning to keep Jack alive? ??? Please let me in on this, I am supposed to be OMT in the next scene. yeee-haw!
-
We are doing ALL the scenes from the original film, as was intended at the beginning of the performance. There are of course slight and not so slight variations from the events which occurred in those scenes, and nobody said we couldn't add any... but the PT is going well... thanks to the actors and our incredible direction and production staff.
-

As I said, I was in the minority who didn't mind changing the story, back when the possibility was discussed during the PT's "Divorce scene". A long time ago. The majority wanted to follow the canon, and that's what we've been doing since. More or less. ;) And I didn't mind at all that I was out-voted, I've had nothing but a great time in the PT both before and since then.
-
It's nice to see our actors and fans speaking up about the dear old PT again. I remember when Mikaela brought up the possibility of diverging from canon, and I was one of those who was not in favor. I've been happy to see that, even while sticking to canon, we've still had marvelously creative contributions from everyone that have taken the sting out of the sadness while still paying tribute to the serious side of the story. I think we can keep that up, even though the revelation of Jack's death is finally at hand.
I can't say I expect Jack to be out of the picture just because he "bought the farm." Hey, Hollywood has done it for years--taken the subject of the afterlife and turned it into good (or dubious) entertainment: Ghost, Topper, Blithe Spirit, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Heaven Can Wait are just a few movies that come to mind. Then there are dreams, fantasies and just good old-fashioned memories. Daniel's Jack speaking from offstage is a great idea, too. I say let's get it on! I'm looking forward to Jane's OMT. 8)
Edit: One more observation. Up til now, I've rarely asked another performer to go along with an idea I've had for the PT, and I like it that way. Part of the fun is seeing what appears on the thread and then rolling with it. I think that's pretty much how others have approached it, too. The direction of a scene can be changed by just one post, and if someone's not down with it, they can create something different. I'm not saying don't collaborate, just that it's fun not to, too.
-
"Sticking to canon?" :laugh: Yeah, right. :laugh: Tell it to the warshrag, High Priestess. You must be High. :laugh:
Really, I know what you mean. :)
You all surely are doing a wonderful job. I got all excited, actually, to hear that Jack bought the farm. A loophole?
-

Erm... not that it is any big deal, but it wasn't me who brought it up. I just voiced my opinion once the matter was out there.

Hey all,
I'm really glad you like my phonebooth Ennis!
I'm fixin' to be away from my home PC the next 2 weeks (as of Sunday night), so my connection will be a bit more sporadic for that time. Bear with me . . .
Hugs,
Laura
-
Your phonebooth Ennis images have been amazing, Laura, the last one - the composite of Ennis + bashing + Jack w/lamb, was such a total tear-jerker, - I don't know what to say! :-*
About the map - yes, sure enough. The words "mountain" and "map" combined *will* make me think of Bilbo's map of the Lonely Mountain - can't help it! That's a true Rings fan for you! 8)

I'd sworn off Bettermost for a solid month (although it feels a lot longer) so I can get my fucking joke of a career on track. Hadn't even peeked.
Then this morning I get an email notifying me of Saucy and Mikaela's hilarious replies!! So I'm off the wagon and wondering what to do next. Aw hell... :-\ :-*

-
Well I'll tell ya Mika, oops! I mean Mikaela ;), I used to be of that persuasion, thinking that certain scenes (tent scenes *koff koff*) were too sanctified to be shared with the hoi polloi. Boy was I wrong! :o :-X I'm sure your post would have been great
Mika Mikaela. :-* :D

I want to praise Laura's images of Ennis and his memories painfully making his way up to Jacks boyhood room! This was very well thought out. Your posted images triggered a thought that many of the images we see during Ennis's visit to the OMT homestead can be directly related back into the earlier parts of the film. I don't know if anyone else noticed this, probably someone else has and I 've since forgotten.
Right away I noticed not only the stairs relating to the climb up the mountain, but also Jack's gun on the rack made me remember the rifle the boys killed the Elk with, and the whole set up with OMT "interviewing" Ennis reminded me of Aguirre "interviewing" Ennis and Jack back in'63.

I would LOVE to see the covered wagon, bronzed baby shoes, clock stopped at a quarter to nine, plaid jacket, crease-ironed jeans, hanger, stick holding up the window, pop-gun, rock collection, and especially the little guy on the horse make an appearance!!!

I swear when this is finally complete I'm going to print out a copy and read it from end to end. So hurry up ya'all. I been waitin' two years here. We still go to go through the Alma Jr visit with Ennis at the trailer, and man oh man those shirts hanging on the nail....
-
Actually, I think welliwont and I are going to try to restore some of the lost images... but printing it out is definitely a tremendous idea.
-
What a treat, Laura.
It's your birthday, and your giving us gifts!
Cheers,
Paul
-
Thanks Paul!! :D :-*
And actually, credit for the Etch-a-Sketch concept goes to our very own Toycoon! (Although he had a much more X-rated idea for the drawing! heehee...)
Sorry about the long pauses; I was suffering from extreme, Hamlet-style, fish-or-cut-bait paralysis regarding whether to do more toys after that. But the toys finally won out... and on with the show!
-
hey Laura,
no apology necessary in my view, sweetie! you are a flippin' genius with this stuff!!! ((((Laura))))
-
Oh joy!! I think I know what Ennis is sitting on!! Is it green by chance??

Hamlet-style, fish-or-cut-bait paralysis
This is such a fantastically creative expression, Laura. And I adore today's new images.

Tell ya what, buds. I was just flabbergasted at the prospect of doing justice to all these emotional scenes! Whew! :P
Now I'm happy it's time for some more of the comical PT stuff yall! Whoo-whee!
-
Hmm. Maybe I can just challenge him to a dance battle or somethin.
Now that I want to see! :laugh:
Hamlet-style, fish-or-cut-bait paralysis? Where is that? I can't seem to find it.
Laura, I love the closet imagery. And Daniel, I never thought you'd be able to make Scarlett work as Ma Twist, but you keep surprising me. :)
-
When Daniel did the Scarlett thing, at first I was like, "hunh?" But I think it's awesome!

Agreed. The double exposed photos are very poignant, but Ennis's sitting problems kept me from sobbing through the last pages. Perfect balance.
-
(( He realizes that, as yet, the only comfort in the barren room has come from the closet. Tentatively, almost as if being gently shepherded, he steps in that direction again. ))

This is truly inspired. The words and the picture. Thank you again, Laura.
You've been up to the challenge of taking on the most difficult scenes; Jack's death and Ennis's visit.
I'm just awed.
(And she can fiddle, too. :))
-
Thank you, Daniel, for the comic relief.
We give a damn! ;)

I'm just awed.
Aw, Paul, you sweet awedball. :)

Yes, friend Laura is totally awesome. Last nite, we were at Adam's house and she was trying out a fiddle I had from childhood. Friend Adam asked her to play something fast and she totally blew us all away with an awesome jig!!

Aw shucks, Miss Laura, Twern't nothin'. I sure would like to see some'a them x-rated Etch -A-Sketch pitchurs, though! ::)
Looks like a fun thread, too. I'll have to start from the beginning.

Put aside a weekend or two to do that, friend! And prepare to laff yourself silly!!

The PT lay dormant so long, this critics thread had slipped down to page three!
Thank you FRiend Lee for reviving it!
And Melinda, I loved your post. It has such a nice balance between being melancholy and hilarious.
:)
-
Why, thank you! ((hesitantly takes sweeping bows)) 8) I didn't know if there would be a place for PANTS after Jack was gone (Aw, yes I did, redlined it all the way back to the PT ;D) but I'm glad to be here, and I don't care how long it takes us to finish the performance. I don't want it to end!

Yall, the stage is set for a WARSHRAG/JBB reunion, if those players can post a line before Director Welliwont closes the scene!
-
Uhhh, we ain't finished yet.....
Still got a few more scenes to go..

Has anyone seen our Director?

Looks like she ain't been on since January 30th. I'll write to her. It would be great to have a resurgence of the PT.

The Performance Thread is winding up, so feel free to go to this almost four-year-old thread on Chez Tremblay, reprise your role, take a bow, or quote one of your favourite scenes!! Let's have a Performance Thread Reunion before Aguirre, our Producer, says it's time to "bring 'em down!"
-
Alma Jr. still has to come to visit!
-
Okay, tell her to get her scrawny ass in there! It's been four effin'
years months!!

Audience member 1: How old was I when this darn performance started?
Audience member 2: Don't rightly know. But I remember Edith Piaf singing the overture.
Audience member 1: I'm gonna ask for my money back.
Audience member 2: You can't. We've gone decimal since then.
Audience member 1: I can't feel my ass.
Audience member 2: You still HAVE an ass??
Tootie and Elizabeth are here in the audience and they say it is time to wind things up!!

When this is all said and done I'm gonna print the entire thread out and read it! :D
