Can you...
say I give up! I've had enough of these trolls and I've decided to cease my daily questions. I know the imposters will keep it up though since they clearly get their kicks from it.
RE: Can you...
(the crowd roars) YYEEEAhhhh!!!
Next time try not to bombard us with your silly questions that seem to be asked for no reason or no goal but seemed to be asked for the sake of hearing yourself talk. There is a saying "The only stupid question is the one not asked", but I'm not so sure of that anymore.

RE: about love
Finding love happens here just as it can anywhere men and women meet together... be sure.... it depends on what each person desires in thier own hearts and when a man and woman start to walk the same path together, soon they find they will notice each other in life.
Our plans together? We meet twice already and continue to meet again, we talk online mostly in Yahoo every day usually for hours, we make plans for when we can meet again, we use the phone and SMS, all until she can come be with me. It takes times, you can not do all in one day! I do all I can to make her day more pleasant and enjoyable as she is my precious lady.
She is most precious and most important to me!

RE: about love
Miss Charlotte, so you speak from experince? What was so difficult, for you or for him? I am waiting to hear your story...
RE: about love
Then send me an e-mail and I will tell you... I don't feel confortable talking about it in public... The end is somethig like this: me, all alone, in a country and city where I knew only him ... I made it, but the price wasn't worth it... At least not in my opinion...
RE: about love
Check your CCMail... as we already have exchanged some emails... Talk to you soon...
RE: about love
We will meet this summer, hopefully. We have been together on line for six months, sms, yahoo and phone calls.
RE: about love
It is a sad commentary on today's world that so many people are so cinical. It is possible to find love in many different places.... and who knows where that place might be. Sure this is not the usual or preferred place to seek it.... but it can happen here as well as anywhere else. Of course you have to invest the time and be aware ..... but that is true if you find someone next door or down the street. Love is possible anytime and anywhere when two people find themselves compatible. There are risks and doubts whenever love blooms. So geez,,,,,, give those that feel they have found it here a break.. have a little compassion and less sarcasm.
question for host !
if you start to hate doing this work will u still keep working here or will you stop and look for other work?
RE: question for host !
I don't hate this job, I find it interesting. But I do have my moments when I get very pissed off and then I just don't stay online.
If I would hate it I couldn't do it with a smile on my face. I would just look for another job.

RE: question for host !
naaa, I'd just move into a category where I can humilate and degrade members and still get paid to do it.
RE: question for host !
As I read these answers... be sure of one thing.. even for hosts who say they are \"in love\".... it is ALL ABOUT MONEY! they just don\'t need to hate thier work as much.... lol
thinking
this has been on my mind tonight,,, why is it when a person thinks they know everything about another person and they really dont know that person well (does that make sense). It seems this is (well was) a fantasy site where host can earn some money (believe me I have spent money here). It seems to turn into a shitface, asskicking, backstabbing, and cutting everyone down. I know this one person seems to be kinda rude sometimes,, but I really wonder why,, well it's his way, maybe because so much as happen in this person life. Don't get me wrong I have made some good friends on here and probably made some enemies too,, but why is it when someone has something on their mind and we are afraid to ask then what it is, we want to cut that person in half. Well I know you are thinking what in the fuck am I talking about,,, well just think about it, i believe you will get the picture....
RE: thinking
austin,, if you preferring to xpunisher,, he is rude to host and members here, whats wrong with you
RE: thinking
"misery loves company" so they find it easier to try to drag others down to their level than trying to lift themselves up.keep freeballin' austin
I wonder
if those here who like to bash others, put people down just for the pleasure of it are really just little sad people in the real world. the powerless, weak minded people who just never get noticed by anyone. the ones who get passed over time and time again.
would explain why they get such a sick pleasure of hurling insults at other.
hopefully someone some day will show them some love, some affection and they will learn some manners
just a thought

You Can Too
Lol! I think it was quite a few summers ago! That was Chubby Checker, right?---a Philadelphia native. Hey, it seems you are being accused of not being the real "That wud..." So, you're either an imposter or a manifestation of "That wud's" multiple personality. And hey, nobody cares because we're all too busy "twisten' the night away.' ---except for a few older English guys here like "ally," who's doing the "Bristol Stomp." Cheers! ("and around, and around, and around, and around we go.....twisten' the night away.")
RE: You Can Too
I still do The Continental - beautiful music, dangerous rhythm.........and I'm not old as, 'a man is as old as the woman he feels' - so I'm really 24! And 5 years from now, I could be 21 again - disgusting, isn't it? :-)
Such fun this site - get all sorts here. From the erudite Melomane to the anally retentive pff/me, whatever he's calling himself today. And, most of all, hoards of stunningly gorgeous women!!! Oh, how I love 'em. Every bit as lovely as their grandmas were - and I should know! lol
So, thank you Ani, Charlotte, Polina, Tina, Sharon, Kerry, Olivia and so many more for bringing the sunshine into my waning years and keeping the lead in my pencil. kisses all!

Your BoyFriends Emails To You
Ok ladies, your boyfriend enjoys writing you several emails a week. What do you do with all his emails after you read them? Do you save them all? Delete them all? Save only the good ones?
RE: Your BoyFriends Emails To You
Read them once, then delete all. - memory like an elephant x
RE: Your BoyFriends Emails To You
Personally, I'd expect my girlfriend to learn all my e-mails off by heart and conduct a nightly ceremony of recitation involving incense and exotic dancing. Anything less and I'd think she didn't love me.
Men expect far too little these days....

RE: Your BoyFriends Emails To You

RE: Your BoyFriends Emails To You
I am pretty sure she does not love you... so you dont need to worry about it
RE: Your BoyFriends Emails To You
What do you mean she doesn't love me? She's imaginary - she loves me as much as I want her too :)
RE: Can You...
That wud, It seems the number of imposters---called "trolls", I believe, in chat speak---have increased of late. I'm sure you realize your "Can You" serial invites parody. Pretty soon you will be spending more time posting denials than questions. "Can you"...deal with that? If not, perhaps you will have to bring the series to an end. If that is the case, we hope the final "Can you" question will be one of substance. Bon courage!
RE: Can You...
That should propel him to greater heights! He may not succeed, but he should be encouraged to aim for the highest possible goal. Like the wit said of Werner von Braun: "He aimed for the stars, but occasionally hit London."

RE: To Bebe
I posted my replies but the big guy upstairs decided not to post them.
Just because your full of urself, no need to change for anyone as long as your happy. One suggestion would be not to show it so often.

RE: To Bebe
Sorry "dear" but when u acuze me of something that I do not consider true, it is an insult addressed to me. So, do you have enough balls to send me an email and tell me or r u chicken enough to hide in here under some wanna-be-smart-words?
RE: To Bebe
I think if Bebe ever did have any balls, he has pretty much had them castrated now by this thread. Go girl!
RE: To Charlotte4U
Considering your english I assume you are another host. For your own benefit you should have said: "stop promoting" not "promotion" ;)
1. I just state my opinion, if it would've been about promoting I would advertise pics, videos, rates and other host related stuff, which I don't.
2. Even if it would've been promotion, what do you care? Do you think I make thousands of dolars because I post here? Come on girl, get serious.
3. If you still don't believe what I say, why don't you start promoting yourself? Post here whatever you wish, be "brave" enough to show your screen name and see what happends next.
This being said, good luck and have fun! And if you don't like something, then just skip it, nobody forces you to read :P

RE: To Charlotte4U
Doesn't have to be a host to have a bad english ;)
You know, french have a saying "La bave du crapaud n'atteint pas la blanche colombe" and I found it's translated like "Stick and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" . So, let people talk, you are who you are.. you shouldn't care ;)

It's not about envy as it's about annoying someone, saying nasty things, hurting.. you ought to know that :P

RE: To Charlotte4U
Psy we have exactly the same saying in the UK just as you transalted it :)
I have to admit though that I don't entirely agree with it. Maybe on something like this forum it is true but in real life words can hurt very much especially if uttered by someone you care very deeply for.

Failed Marketing Strategy
Ok, so my strategy to boost host's viewers failed miserably. My new plan was to market a new type of tea. Made from a host's soiled panties and boiling them in hot water and selling it to her members so they can drink the ensuing tea (or broth) while they watched her. So was this a great idea or what?

Pillow to Amarillo
Lol! Has the makings of a song title guy! Should we start writing the lyrics now? How about this as a beginning:
Whenever I hug my magic pillow
It carries me off to Amarillo

I know it's right, no pecadillo

RE: Pillow to Amarillo
It was also sung by Tony Christie ... here's the chorus:
Is this the way to Amarillo
every night I've been hugging my pillow
dreaming dreams of Amarillo
and sweet Marie who waits for me.
show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
crying over Amarillo
and sweet Marie who waits for me.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you, you "pretentious...ostentatious...hoity-toity name-dropper." Don't you realize you must keep any intellectual inclinations under wraps here (lest pff the Pontiff judge thee and mete out his public scorn) or indeed anywhere there are lots of Americans.
We Americans would never elect an intellectual as President. No, Americans prefer a 'shucks, gee-wizz' kinda guy like George Bush, a plain spoken, church-going man who told a reporter his favorite philosopher is Jesus Christ. No matter that he's told a few lies and subverted the Constitution. After all, boys will be boys.

Cowboy
A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife. She was determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she placed an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand. Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk.
She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk.
He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot about ranching. For weeks, the two of them worked hard and the ranch was doing very well.
Then one day, the rancher's widow said "You have done a really good job, and the ranch looks great. You should go into town and kick up your heels." The hired hand readily agreed and went into town on Saturday night.
He returned around 2:30am and, upon entering the living room, he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him.
She quietly called him over to her. "Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said. Trembling, he did as she directed.
"Now take off my boots." He did as she asked, ever so slowly.
"Now take off my socks." He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her boots.
"Now take off my skirt." He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the fire light.
"Now take off my bra." Again, with trembling hands, he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor.
Then she looked at him and said: "If you ever wear my clothes into town again, you're fired!"

Lol! Good One Cowboy! Here's Another
I love jokes like that, i.e with endings that are completely unexpected. Here's another joke. I hope you like it. I posted it about a week ago, but I'm not sure if many people saw it:
There's this guy who lives alone in a prairie house in a desolate area of the Great Plains. He has lived a solitary life there for years. One day he is sitting on his porch and a guy pulls up in a truck. He looks at the man sitting on the porch and says, "Howdy neighbor!"
The man on the porch looks at him suspiciously and replies, "Neighbor? I didn't reckon I had any neighbors."
With a friendly reassuring smile, the man answered, "Yeah, neighbor, you see that ridge down yonder? Well, I live just beyond that ridge. And as a matter of fact neighbor, I'm havin' a party this Saturday and I'd be much obliged if you came!"
Now intrigued, the prairie dweller asks, "Oh yeah? What kinda party is it gonna be?"
"Well neighbor, there's gonna be some drinkin'; there's gonna be some fuckin' and there's gonna be some card playin'"
Finally won over, the solitary man responds, "Sounds good to me. What should I wear?"
"You can wear anything you want," the man said with an impish smile, "because it's only gonna be you and me!"

Mulholland Drive... A great movie, but you must concentrate. No breaks for food or drinks !!!. If you've not seen it, then beg, steal, or borrow a copy.......Alan
Mulholland Drive
See we have similar tastes in film and women. Mulholland Drive is a David Lynch film, right? Lynch has an extraordinary eye and offbeat sensibility that does not fit into the ready-made Hollywood categories, all of which require bad writing along with at least one other element, be it inanity, maudlin sentimentality or gratuitous violence.
I would not choose Mullholland Dr. as my "favorite," but it is a good one. The first Lynch film I saw was "Blue Velvet." As with all his films, it stands out in the way he presents the disturbingly ordinary. The writing, acting and cinematography are so well thought out as a whole that he captures a certain essence like few others.

RE: Mulholland Drive
Hey !! At last, a David Lynch fan !!! I agree that Blue Velvet was a great movie, but for me Mulholland Drive was Lynch's best, so far !! What drives me crazy is that people keep saying to me " I could not understand it ".
I tell them watch it again and pay very close attention to the first 15 minutes and to the last 20 minutes. THINK ABOUT IT !!!!!!!
I thought that Naomi Watts and Laura Elana Harring were just superb. By the way, are you a guest or host ??

RE: movie
That's a tough question. It really depends on the genre. Even in the same genre it's tough to pick just one. However, in Film Noir I can say hands down that my favorite is "The Big Sleep" (1946), starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. It was directed by Howard Hawks and is based on a Raymond Chandler novel, The screenplay was written by Nobel Laureate William Faulkner! This is Film Noir at its best. Great writing. Great acting. Lots of twists and turns.
RE: movie
Prepare yourself pfff, I'm going to be pretentious again! :-) My favourite film is Brief Encounter. So erotic because it is so restrained. I exchanged emails once with a NYC woman once where we talked like the housewife and doctor in the film who have a doomed love affair. Eventually, she came to see me. We met under the clock in Waterloo Station, both wearing red carnations to recognise each other. She came back home with me for dinner...etc etc.
Just so my other friend here 'me' doesn't get too upset, we were of a similar age. Well, ok, I was 25 years older - wtf! ;-)
P.S. Melomane, really like your posts.

I have pointed out the specific language of my post to Mr. Collins and though he has not yet agreed, I told him that I am prepared to stipulate that he may withdraw the petition "without prejudice," thus retaining his right to return to the Court for appeal.
Judge: Mr. Collins?
RE: movie
Bill, I don't care to engage in a needless and tedious exchange over what I said, but your persistence compels me to inform you that Bobo is still right. All you need to do is read what I wrote. You misquote me. This is what I REALLY said:
"Even in the same genre it's tough to pick just one. However, in Film Noir I can say hands down that my favorite is "The Big Sleep" (1946)."
"However, in Film Noir.." is the operative phrase. I Hope that settles it and, if you haven't seen the film, check it out. It's great.
All the best!
P.S. Is your name here an allusion to the poet, Billy Collins?

RE: movie
i wrote word for word what you wrote,so it can't be a misquote. there were no exceptions included in that statement.if now,as you claim,that film noir is an exception then your first statement now becomes incorrect .
RE: movie
Bill, You did indeed misquote me in the first of two consecutive posts, but corrected yourself in the second:
06 Apr 2007: 'even in the same genre it’s hard to make a choice"
07 Apr 2007: 'even in the same genre it's hard to pick just one.'
Just to clarify my position, the misquote above is not the salient point. I should have said you "misinterpreted" me. The truth of my argument hinges on the "However" that follows the above. You are right, in that genre I am making an exception to the general truth of the statement. But you are wrong to claim that an exception invalidates the truth of the general statement. You cannot isolate one sentence in a narrative argument. The truth of the argument must be evaluated in the entire context in which it appears. What's more, the sentence beginning with "However" qualifies the preceding sentence so that it remains true. You are incorrectly arguing that the stated exception invalidates the truth to which it is only an exception. If I say, for example, "The weather in June is generally sunny and warm. However, it does rain on occasion," it does not follow that because I said it rains occasionally that the first part of the statement is invalid.
Finally, if I have not fully persuaded you of your error, consider the logical import of the specific words I used. I said, "...it's HARD to pick just one." I did not say it was impossible.

RE: movie
Hi, it's me again, the Mulholland Drive guy. I also am a great fan of film noir. The Big Sleep was a great movie. I've read all Raymond Chandler's book and seen all the movies made from them. Farewell My Lovely was one of the best. As regards other film noir movies have you seen the 1940s version of The Killers with Burt Lancaster and Ave Gardner ? My favourite firm noir is Out of the Past ( called Build My Gallows High in the UK) the 1940s version with Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer (what a woman !!!). It looks as though we have the same taste in movies. Cheers !!!! Alan
