Rippin Says:
WAKE UP PEOPLE. Late night chats?
hezzer19 Says:
I’m awake, I’m awake. Stop yelling.
Rippin Says:
You are easy to yell at lol, I just wanted them to hear me!
hezzer19 Says:
They heard you. South East Asia heard you.
Now bring me a damn coffee.
Rippin Says:
Bitchy as usual, and demanding. Nothing ever changes.
hezzer19 Says:
I’m only bitchy until I’ve had my coffee. Cheeky bugger.
Rippin Says:
hmm so much for mornings lol
dcd74 Says:
I’m awake..I’m awake! **grumbles about getting woke up by Rippin’s yelling**
As for late night chats..I peeked in several times last night and saw 0/50 and figured everyone but me had a life LOL
hezzer19 Says:
Is that not why you bring me coffee in bed Rippin darling?
Rippin Says:
Morning dcd dear.
hezzer19 Says:
I do apologize dcd. I tried to keep him quiet.
Rippin Says:
Hez is silencing me? Right lol
Rippin Says:
*looks for a rolling eyes smiley*
hezzer19 Says:
I know very well how to keep you quiet but you hadn’t brought me my coffee yet. Well, perhaps not quiet but…
Rippin Says:
Well Tim’s isn’t around the corner you know!
dcd74 Says:
I’ll forgive the yelling this time..but next time remember Sundays are my day to sleep in..evil bitches like me dont attend church
Rippin Says:
As I said nothing changes. That is why I love this place.
dcd74 Says:
This place loves you too
Even when we grumble and roll our eyes huh hez???
hezzer19 Says:
Hez has gone back to bed. It’s too cold and damp to be up and around.
dcd74 Says:
But the attic is well insulated and has that shag carpet..just grab a blankie and sit in the recliner with your coffee.
Unfortunately, I have to make a run to Walmart to pick up a few things but I hope to catch you lovely dears later! **grumbles as she would rather sit at home than run errands**
Nevada Says:
Sorry to have missed you, Rippin, Hez, and dcd…we seriously need to look into synchronizing our watches or something.
Nevada Says:
It appears Blake is still
delusionaloptimistic…My record label did so many stupid things, like not putting me out in Europe. I think I’ll get more fans when I start touring over there and hitting those markets.
Boston Herald
hezzer19 Says:
omg…cannot breathe…make it stop…omg…lmao.
Nevada Says:
All I can say is:
Run, Europe, run! Run like you’ve never run before! Run fast and far and don’t look back! The noise is coming!
Nevada Says:
I think the radio broadcast might start something like this…
kimkac Says:
I’m awake, I’ve been awake since forever today, the dog insists on walks and feeding at 7:00 or earlier, he gets all huffy if I don’t. Needless to say, I am at my friends’ house dog sitting, sigh…
Kirsten Says:
Good luck with that. I would have thought that the European Union had some import restrictions based on quality, but they had the electronic frog thing, so who knows?
I love how NOTHING is his fault.
hezzer19 Says:
Are you suggesting that any part of his dismal failure is his fault Kirsten? Clearly you have not read the fangirl handbook. It is entirely the label’s fault. Have you learned nothing at the Big Blob?
Rippin Says:
Was there anything worth learning ?
hezzer19 Says:
There was when we were there. Of course now we are all here.
I am forever grateful for the Big Blob. Without it I’d not know everyone here.
I should send the Blobmistress flowers. Heaven forbid I send cookies.
Nevada Says:
There’s a surplus of Cookies at the blob already…
Kirsten Says:
My bad. Of course it’s not his fault. I don’t know what I was thinking. Despite his fans assuring us that he had been granted unprecedented freedom to create his album (and being the first Idol with the chops to do so) from style to album cover design to using his concept for the first *cough* video, it was all him. The fans went on further to promise us that Blake was beloved by Clive. Why, Clive almost wanted to adopt him because he was so talented. Yes, despite all this, the evil people at the label are all to blame for the flop-ola. Blake is innocent. Even if they did use his ideas, the label is still at fault because the label should have known those were bad ideas (seriously, I saw that one posted).
Poor, poor Blake.
Nevada Says:
Is there going to be a run on Puffs? Because I’m down to my last two boxes.
Rippin Says:
*dabbles Nevada’s tears then gets her tea and carrot cake*
Nevada Says:
The label is always at fault. Always.
Any success an Idol achieves is a direct result of their own herculean efforts, and in spite of said label’s systemic incompetence.
Conversely, an Idol who fails is a victim of the label’s callous indifference, and in spite of said Idol’s undeniable brilliance.
What’s never clear is why some Idols manage to overcome the dead weight of a recording contract and label support while others are crushed by that burden…
hezzer19 Says:
I’d say it was due to their talent but clearly there is little d as evidence to the contrary.
Nevada Says:
Are you suggesting that Blake is not massively talented?
As for little d™, the label spent a boatload of money — the majority of which is subject to recoupment — to try and launch his insipid boy band, but so far, the return hasn’t been great. He’s lagging far behind in tour receipts, and spending the summer on the fair circuit hasn’t helped matters.
hezzer19 Says:
True enough Nevada. As I am reminded every Friday he really does suck. I do love Fridays.
Nevada Says:
I like mine with vanilla frosting rather than whatever it is they usually top these cakes with.
hezzer19 Says:
I believe they use cream cheese Nevada. Boggles my mind really. Of course, so does the very idea of carrot cake.
