I just have to laugh at one message board mocking another. As if they are clearly having the most sophisticated of conversations by mocking us. Such jealousy.

Be proud they were "forced" to speak of us all, you are a spirited bunch, go forth and post!
And is just me..or does "mascara4" seem like a certain missing hairfree poster we've lost..hmmm?
La "who? La indeed.

My favorite was "Thank God I live in L.A. We don't go to plays here." No, just Schwarzenegger movies.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
"And I'll have you know I was a musician dork, thankyouverymuch. "
I graciously apologize. I need to change it to theatre/chorus/band. I guess I just left them out because at our school, the band was in its own world. They were quite exclusive.

Eh. Everyone is always going to be a loser in someone's opinion. It should only be of concern when it becomes a univeral perception. *That* might indicate a problem.

I really wasn't going to comment on this, as it would then be giving credence to something that really doesn't deserve it. However, this may be a perfect chance to say just a couple of things about BWW.
I am fascinated and invigorated by the broad range of people represented here. On the 'on topic' side, we get everything from young people first discovering theatre (complete with their charming first crushes and obssessions) to Tony award winners and current Broadway performers. There are people from all over the country, from all around the world even, who all weigh in with their views and opinions on what's happening in their area. And there's MY favorite part, having people like Margo, Magruder, Namo and MusicMan (just to name a few) who can educate, enlighten and inspire us with their knowledge and acumen.
As for the 'off-topic' board, what more could you ask for? A thrilling opportunity to share thoughts and opinions on anything that comes to mind! A place where thoughts, feelings, joy, grief, rage, lust and again obssession can all be expressed, digested, shared, vilified, bantered - and dare I say it, even learned from. And AGAIN, with every type and kind of person imaginable!
I'm happy it exists, and thrilled to be a part of it.
As always, well-said. If the folks at datalounge think we're all embittered has-beens and wannabes, that's their loss. I happen to be a never-been-and-never-will-be, and I'm quite content with that fact.
i find it sort of a compliment that we are so well known. maybe they arent exactly describing us in hour finest moments, but they ARE talking about us... who is more pathetic, the 'weird' message board or the people talking about the weird message board?
