collecting allygators ... in yer pool!

~wolf Thu, Mar 4, 1999 (17:30) #1

haha!!

~aschuth Fri, Mar 5, 1999 (07:22) #2

Do I get this?

~visitor Fri, Mar 5, 1999 (09:02) #3

probably not...it's in reference to a post in the pool topic in the home conference...

~stacey Fri, Mar 5, 1999 (15:43) #4

and dammit! I keep entering topics while Telnetting and put '.' 'ok' without thinking... that's why all my topic names are 'ok' *sigh*

~wolf Fri, Mar 5, 1999 (17:39) #5

maybe someone can change this one (i was wondering why pool allygators was in a topic called "ok")!!

~stacey Fri, Mar 5, 1999 (17:43) #6

'cause I'm a dolt!

~wolf Fri, Mar 5, 1999 (17:48) #7

ok.....*grin*

~KitchenManager Fri, Mar 5, 1999 (23:31) #8

next time I get to telnet in, I'll see if I can change the name... suggestions, anyone?

~wolf Sat, Mar 6, 1999 (10:42) #9

allygators....

~KitchenManager Sat, Mar 6, 1999 (10:50) #10

so simple and straightforward, yet so poignant...

~wolf Sat, Mar 6, 1999 (11:09) #11

uh-huh.... wer, get on over to paraspring....

~KitchenManager Sat, Mar 6, 1999 (11:40) #12

I'm trying!...

~wer Thu, Mar 25, 1999 (23:44) #13

and the topic has been re-named...

~wolf Fri, Mar 26, 1999 (11:45) #14

noted *grin*

~stacey Wed, Apr 7, 1999 (11:21) #15

it's all confusing for me with the time, ID and email prompt before the response!!!! HELP!!

~wolf Wed, Apr 7, 1999 (21:52) #16

you lost me, girl!

~KitchenManager Wed, Apr 7, 1999 (23:48) #17

I don't touch telnet stuff, Stace...would that be watcha talkin'bout?

~stacey Thu, Apr 8, 1999 (11:27) #18

no... I was actually browsering it... and on the response line it began with the poster's name and a link to their email... (not crazy, not crazy, not crazy...)

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 8, 1999 (12:49) #19

um...always has as far as I know... (I'm lost or confused or both, methinks...)

~stacey Thu, Apr 8, 1999 (13:48) #20

no no no!!! i was different... I SWEAR!

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 8, 1999 (14:17) #21

I know you were...

~stacey Thu, Apr 8, 1999 (14:53) #22

it it it it it (damn it...) I MEANT IT was different!

~KitchenManager Thu, Apr 8, 1999 (18:59) #23

SURE you did...we believe you, don't we guys?

~stacey Fri, Apr 9, 1999 (13:06) #24

*sticking out my tongue*

~KitchenManager Fri, Apr 9, 1999 (23:45) #25

fair is fair, I guess...(and it's such a cute and talented tongue, too!)

~stacey Sat, Apr 10, 1999 (23:26) #26

it's purple (slurpee stained!)

~KitchenManager Sun, Apr 11, 1999 (00:48) #27

then it would be tasty, as well...

~stacey Mon, Apr 12, 1999 (19:15) #28

yummmm!

~KitchenManager Mon, Apr 12, 1999 (23:32) #29

thought so...

~wolf Sat, May 8, 1999 (19:21) #30

you'll never guess what? ok, lemme take care of the suspense right now. we went to get crawfish (out of a ravine) and in doing so saw the most awesome, scariest thing ever. ok, so it was a bayou and you probably won't find this fascinating but here we are, me with the binoculars (got to look for my hawks), my kids in the back of the truck, my husband in waders fishing for crawdaddies. when lo and behold, what appeared walking across the street about 50 yards up? nothing but a real life 10 foot allygator. upper. my son spotted her and i yelled at my husband to warn him she was moving in on his territory. i watched her disappear outta sight (her is generic in this case, i have no idea if it was a him either, and her just sounds better *grin*). well, we watched her travel slowly down the bayou towards my husband. then she slowly meandered back a bit. i warned the other fisher-folks in the area of this magestic bayou type critter and then we hopped in the truck and traveled the length of the bayou to see wher she went or was doing. turns out, she decided to hang out on the farthest bank and then when we left, it was like she was trying to decide if she wanted to leave her watery playground for the boggy soil. it was cool. that was the first time i'd ever seen an allygator that big, out of the water in the wild. not a zoo and not those spooky green eyes peeping out of the mire either. it was way cool!

~aschuth Mon, May 10, 1999 (05:32) #31

Too bad you guys didn't slug it out! Would make a great Hollywood-movie: "She-Werwolf vs. THE GATOR From HELL". I could image the crayfish as sidecasts... Are Abbott and Costello somewhere around? Gotta have those, too! ;=}

~aschuth Mon, May 10, 1999 (05:36) #32

(Wonder who would compose ther filmscore... After last night, I should perhaps ask Mr Quintron, he's from New Orleans, so he should feel at home with the story-line...)

~wolf Mon, May 10, 1999 (07:56) #33

oh yeah! the crawfish would be bubba and boudreaux (gotta have those cajun names)!

~aschuth Mon, May 10, 1999 (08:15) #34

And we MUST have the GATOR From HELL nibble that fishing dad within the first 15 minutes or the whole movie is dead meat. The kids can stay (+/- 1). After all, the She-Werwolf from the bayou gotta have somebody to save. Kids always work great with the 25+ female demographics, too - doesn't hurt to draw them in crowds to this fishing-trip nightmare. "All we wanted was them crawdads, all we got was a gore-fest!" Could also work as hook to draw the 12+ juvenile environmentalist crowd, plus the male 35+ social worker scene: Portrait the GATOR From HELL as pet that has been flushed down the toilet (like the NINJA-TURTLES!) and now positively defends the crayfish that raised her...

~stacey Mon, May 10, 1999 (11:19) #35

neato!!!

~KitchenManager Mon, May 10, 1999 (12:15) #36

I see it being a cult classic! Think we can get Savini to do the special effects?

~aschuth Tue, May 11, 1999 (06:52) #37

Guess who called me!!! But he hung up when I said we'll do it on Super 8 and pull 30mm copies for the big screen off that. *Sigh*

~aschuth Tue, May 11, 1999 (06:52) #38

Ah, sorry, 35mm, that would have been.

~wolf Tue, May 11, 1999 (11:47) #39

*rats*

~wolf Tue, May 11, 1999 (11:47) #40

what about making it a silent film?

~aschuth Wed, May 12, 1999 (10:33) #41

Well, filming it in Super 8 is silent (they don't make the films with the magnet track on the side anymore, which enabled you to record sound while filming). But I'd like some nice thrilling score - it greatly enhances the whole movie experience. You can't make a horror movie for the whole family without sound. I need only one word to prove that: Screaming! On the other hand, if we could thkare 'em till their bones rattle just with the gruesome imagery, we might do OK without sound. Plus we'd be tr�s far out avantgarde dudes and dudettes!

~KitchenManager Wed, May 12, 1999 (11:19) #42

Spring re-union at Cannes?

~wolf Wed, May 12, 1999 (11:53) #43

haha! could you see us in People Magazine for the opening of our advante garde filme?

~KitchenManager Wed, May 12, 1999 (12:01) #44

(especially if we were all in our work/former work clothes?)

~aschuth Wed, May 12, 1999 (14:17) #45

And bleedin' all over the floor - this is a gore-thriller, remember!

~wolf Wed, May 12, 1999 (15:10) #46

i think with characters like bubba and boudreaux, it could turn into a comedy. man, i'd hate to get in my dress blues for an opening...can we just wear our regular street clothes? do ya think they'd let us in?

~aschuth Wed, May 12, 1999 (16:28) #47

You'll be nicely groomed. You can wear the pearls around your neck. I only advise to NOT insist on matching it with the pink hair clips. BTW, I do look presentable in a three-piece-suit. Yeah, of course it'll be a grotesque monster-gore-comedy. Fun, when you don't expect it, and heavy action, when you'd think you're in a Disney movie. Maybe like "Dusk till Dawn-meets-Arielle", just with a wolf instead of a mermaid, and the ole gator 'stead o' them vampires.

~KitchenManager Thu, May 13, 1999 (11:16) #48

so when does the Bigfoot enter the picture?

~stacey Thu, May 13, 1999 (11:51) #49

he wrastles with the gator to save Wolfie's little oink hair clips that have fallen into the pool during her struggle to escape

~stacey Thu, May 13, 1999 (11:51) #50

Pink, not oink...

~aschuth Thu, May 13, 1999 (15:31) #51

But them pink critters oink! At least when Gator stills her ghoulish needs... Big Foot doesn't do screen work. He supports the technical infrastructure of the post-production environment, of course! Could use a hand, though. Wer, interested?

~KitchenManager Thu, May 13, 1999 (16:03) #52

sure! (I hope this is a paying gig...)

~stacey Thu, May 13, 1999 (16:55) #53

pink hair clips for your efforts

~aschuth Thu, May 13, 1999 (17:03) #54

...so you can oink better!

~wolf Thu, May 13, 1999 (20:33) #55

i thought the oink fit in perfectly! i didn't think it was a mistake *goofy grin* maybe we should start a topic on film ideas? btw: we're going to the lake tomorrow and i sure hope we don't run into any allygators! oh, and when did the scene of action move into my back yard? man! now i've got to make the place look grotesque-monstor-gore-comedy presentable....

~stacey Fri, May 14, 1999 (16:48) #56

yes, yes -- show off those hydraganeas!
