Xray Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Xray, in case I was thoughtless, "horse opera" is old reviewspeak for "western movie", another such term is "standard oater".Your English is so fluent that I often forget it is not your first language and you might be puzzled by outdated slang or journalese. Hope you enjoy them anyway, as I do.Carol, I did not know the term "horse opera", but guessed from the context it might refer ot Western movies.But as for "standard oater", without your info, I would have had no idea it means Western movie. "Oater" - does this have somehting to do with the oats frequently fed to the horses in these fllms?As for Germans being into "horse operas" - that's right. I had a phase when I was quite a fan too, but somehow I never got to see one of the greatest, of the genre: The Glorious Seven. Gotta catch up and fill that gap!Of Kurosawa's films, I've only see Rashomon, but it looks like I missed something in not having seen The Seven Samurai and Ran. I think I'll order them from Amazon. This is another thing I like about OL: one always gets inspired by co-posters.And did I get it right that there is a Play Nice Party scheduled over here?? (I still regret the one that never took place at Riggenbach's Bear's Lair, (I think this is what he calls his residence). I then had to eat all the calorie-loaded 'Dallmayr' delicatessen goodies myself. I bravely sacrificed myself, so to speak. ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william.scherk Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) I will also post the entire thread in a blog post, if nobody minds.William,I thought of asking you not to do this on OL as I don't like the idea of the forum being used as a repository for leftovers from a hostile venue, but I reflected on it. My suggestion is to post it on a new thread in The Garbage Pile.I believe that would satisfy the overlap tightrope of all the different vanities involved.This is not a mandatory suggestion, of course. You are free to do as you wish. But if the thing later degenerates into a nasty mess, The Garbage Pile is probably where it would end up, anyway.Glad I asked. The full thread is far too long for a Blog post, anyway -- and way, waaaaay too long for a real thread here, even if in the Dump.If anyone wants it, the whole mangy thing, I can zip the files and send an attachment (Hi Janet!) -- the files would open a local HMTL content/web page in browsers.On the 'cupcakes' issue, I am baking tonight.

Brant Gaede Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 George called Janet a "lunatic" on SOLO and she replied as if she was one, and she is unless it's performance art.

william.scherk Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) I have solved one of my problems. How to help Janet not get her thread closed down. I figure George can get away with posting to SOLO since he is a personage. So, I follow him out the door at SOLO in re Janet with a cheery introduction of a blog where I can put Janet's DELETED posts back up one by one in tribute. At the moment, there is but a one hour window to become an adminstrator or writer at the new blog. Janet of course, as a possible future leader of the JPNP, along with current leader WSS, Carol, PDS and provisionally Tony. You may nominate yourself to the collective writer pool right now by copying the values below, or just send me an OL message backstage.Can write at nontelleck, since I sent them an email. Janet thus need to message me with an emailThenkyouverrymuch.................[PDS]william.scherk@....jrsowl@... [JONATHAN for images fresh]................[Tony]notaphilosopher.stuart@...

I want to get a stamp done with the logo, and also have a stencil done for out cupcakes. I still have not heard from Riggenbach. All our plans hinge on him and Ninth Doctor. I hope we can pull together for the sake of the party.Here is the background bare bones of the logo. To come are the cupcakes and other symbols (thank you Adam for the all-seeing eye).

Brant Gaede Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Bill, while you are super-smart I know you are in over your head. Why? Janet needs her audience. You want to ghettoize her. She lost OL because of her posting limitations. Unlike Xray she doesn't have the brains and strength to transcend them. So she repaired to SOLO. Now you want, in your own solicitous way, to save her by denying her that platform with a cookie. I say, let her have what she wants. She's got it now. You can't rescue her. She doesn't want to be rescued. She wants to be what she thinks she is. You don't crash and crush the reality of a 77 yo; you do that with the 20 yos. The first is killed, maybe. The second is saved, maybe. What I know is in one month I will be 68 yo and I can take anything. Let me have it! Why is this? I know and I know it's quite rare. But it does make me very sensitive to all this.--Brantnow, how do we deal with her nonsense?--simply ignore it once it's been IDedshe cares not about her deleted posts, only that they've been deleted = she is a victim!
