I was tempted to start a pit thread called “Eve’s leaving? This sucks!” but I decided to take the higher ground. I once wrote that Eve brought class to this board, so I’ll try to emulate her in spirit even if I can’t in talent.
Eve, I don’t know if you’re ever going to read this, but if you do, I want to thank you for having been here with us. I’ve always been able to rely on the fact that any post by you will be one worth reading. Needless to say, I’m a fan of your published work as well. I wish you the best of luck in all future endeavors and hope that you someday find your way back here.
Everyone else, here’s your chance to post a tribute, a thanks, a fond remembrance, or an obscene limerick (whatever is most appropriate). Also, I’d like to see people posting links to favorite posts by Eve, so we can all enjoy them again.
That said, I’m now going to go to the Pit afterall and start a thread called “Virginia Campbell felches dead goats … and likes it.”
Eve rules. She always brought legitimacy and humor to any thread. Whether as Flora McFlimsey or her later incarnation (as herself), wit and intelligence were often strewn in her wake like a classy New York tornado.
Come back soon, chickie. Bring your lorgnettes with you.
You will be missed. You were intelligent, knowledgeable and funny. And you knew stuff that no one else knew and remembered people that should have been remembered. Thank you for all of that.
I don’t know how many times I have seen a post that said something to the effect of “Eve, what’s the answer to this?”. We turned to you. Thanks for being there.
I’m sure it all looks pretty childish now in comparison to what you have seen the last few days so we understand. But you better know that we will call your name in any number of situations but especially when we are trying to remember who that villain was in that Olson and Johson comedy, or who the second lead in that Joan Davis film was or who Joel MacRae’s love interest was in his second film or…but you get the idea. Yeah, we will be able to look it up someplace but it won’t be the same.
I still remember the thread where I got to give people their film categories. I was thrilled when you showed up, Eve, because I’d already had you pegged for femme fatale film noire.
So, straighten your stockings, reapply your lipstick, and hurry back, y’hear?
I had no idea, I’ve been off the boards for a few days. I don’t know what to say. Eve and I share this unique adoration for the film business, and film history. Her mind AND heart are beautiful and unparallelled here.
Eve, I’ve no clue why you left. All I know is that there’s a hole here now, instead of a whole.
If you can’t come back, then know that an entire community respects and misses you deeply.
With a heavy heart, I’m shutting off the projector for the evening and letting the theatre go dark,
So we open up the Cafe Society forum and Eve leaves. That’s like if they opened up the Algonquin dining room and Dorothy Parker moved to Cleveland. Hmmmpf.
Miz Flora, pleeeezzzee don’t go! Who else is going to give this joint that elegant satin dressing gown sighing down onto velvet cushions wit that you do?
Plus, you actually Knew Edie The Egg Lady.
Damn, Eve, I’m going to sadly miss you here. I wish you every twist of panache you need right now, and selfishly hope that you come back if the time allows.
Damn it,I thought I was through crying for the night. I had enough of the WTC threads, and I was going to fire some muggles and listen to music, and then I find THIS.
I’m dripping again.
Looks like my last time to say this, so I may as well confess; "I’ve always had a little (okay,huge) crush on you, Eve.
Take it with you wherever you go.
You never know when you might want one and they store quite neatly. I’m just a synapse away…
Rick
