Call me "Scarlett O'Hara"

Okay, at the risk of sounding like one of those “Do we have to hear about LOTR everywhere” rants here goes…

[Southern belle accent]
War! War War!, there isn’t going to BE any ole war! that’s all you boys ever talk about, if I hear War ONE more Time, I’m going in the house, I swea-ah"!![/southern belle accent]

Okay IANA southern belle, and I hope I’m not one of those “there is too much LOTR talk around” types but HELL!!!

Nearly every blasted thread in GD and several to half the threads in several other forums (and other boards) are about the Damn WAR!

Okay, so it’s on everyone’s mind, fair enough and that’s pretty much to be expected. And we SHOULD try to be informed and concerned. But all this talk of “yellow” “orange” etc, as if we, the average citizen, is going to be able to “prepare”.

I’m with Tom Leykis on this one, unless you have your own personal nuclear fall-out shelter, exactly how are you supposed to “prepare” for a breach of national security?

And how does talking on and on (we civilians I mean) “ad nauseum” do anything at all one way or the other regarding how this “war” will go?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m watching the news too, and reading many of the “war posts” (in hopes of adding to my half thimble full of knowledge regarding war and war related politics and strategy), But SHEESH, am I the only one on overload?

(please tell me no, someone?).

Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.

3

Me neither. :smiley:

4

All right!! Who let the smartasses in? :smiley:
(and why didn’t I see Puno’s reply from three miles out?), Oh yeah, I’m blonde.

Don’t worry CanvasShoes, because, after all, tomorrow is another day!

CanvasShoes, just last night I said the EXACT SAME THING, in my Scarlett O’Hara voice, to my husband as he sat riveted to CNN for the 253rd day straight.

I don’t know if that makes you feel better or worse.

Fiddle dee dee!

8

Ahh don’t know nothin’ ‘bout birthin’ no babies!

Sorry. So Sorry. But that’s my favorite line from the whole dang movie.

Actually, I think the posts have been great, they’re funny, lighthearted and definitely relieved my frustration with the typical media overkill.

A couple of hours ago, before I saw this post, I got up and found my copy of “Gone With the Wind” and flipped through it until I found the passage where Scarlett says that to the Tarleton boys, and posted the entire thing in my livejournal.

Now I’m amused.

Nope - can’t call you Scarlett.

She wasn’t Blonde.

13

I’d tell you that you need to be kissed, but that would be just weird. :wink:

Hey! What the fuck happened to my curtains?

Oh, just something I saw in the window.

Miller, I doan know nothin’ bout findin’ no curtains, but I can fetch the swoon bottle for you. Whover made off with your portiers is just a mule in horse harness.

Is Tom Leykis still on the radio? Where and when? I really liked him!

I don’t know nuthin’ 'bout duct-taping no windows…

Damnit Brett Tarleton! Miss Scarlet said I ccould get her another piece of cake.

For my friend Jessica, who always wanted to be the girl with the most cake.:slight_smile:

He was on a station broadcasting out of LA, but the radio station here that was carrying his show has gone out of business (SULK!!).

Even though I’m a girl, I still enjoyed his show.

This thread seems to be bringing out the “silly” in everyone. I"m cracking up here just catching up with all the posts.

Good!!! (another rant–>), sometimes there NEEDS to be just plain old goofy, non-cerebral silliness, just for silliness’ sake!!!

So THERE ppppppptttthhhbbtt! :smiley:
