Wow!
No slacking on answers today!
I see a BUNCH of Questions to answer...
On 2010-01-12 17:59, kikekeki continued to fixate on her crush on Ernie and asked:
Is there another 'Ernie list' floating around TC that I can work my butt off to get on and gain the #1 spot? It's been a long time since I've been on anyone's s**t list... :wink:
GROG has been practicing small ambushes here on TC for some time..
So i expect a full frontal assault in the near future
just wonderin what thread will manifest it...
my best advice is to keep on his trail
wait for him to strike
and then heckle,ridicule,and debunk his efforts on that thread...
that would be my best advice to get you the list,at the very least...
From there,you can concentrate your efforts and reach that #1 spot you covet!
Good Luck!!!

Dear Liloti,
Would big floppy clown shoes give me more stability as I walk through this world beneath the weight of my staggering genius?
Yes!
As long as you SHUFFLE,not walk
through this world....
Clown Shoes are famous for hitting invisible snags and bumps
and lead to falls.. Shuffle around and you'll be fine!
This will give your HUGE thought-filled brain stability....
Also, when its raining
you can lift your feet over your noggin
and keep it dry!
YAY for clownshoes!
NEXT!
On 2010-01-13 16:03, dewey-surf thought reeeeeal hard and asked:
Dear omnipotent one:
Does anybody really like root beer? Or is it all just a conspiracy against me?
First off dewey-surf.....
no Grandiose titles for the Host..
I am a mere mortal, just as you are
with all the faults and fallacies and contradictions..
Please don't make this more than it is....
A time waster with Q & A as the validation...
nothing more....
So.... does anyone really like root beer?
Sweet sassafrass! I certainly do!
Now are we talking about the Hires/A&W kind or the alcoholic kind?
The historical root beer had a very low alcohol content.
Now,the soft drink brands have no alcohol OR caffeine
(with the exception of one by barq's ,i believe,that is fortified with CAFFEINE!!!
And did you know that the name root beer
is virtually unused outside of the United States, Canada and the Philippines?
At least those countries could be counted on the "Liking Root Beer" list!
Did you also know that root beer is commonly referred to as the drink of the navy?
Don't ask me why...just relating the written reports from my agents....
AAAAAAAAAAND......
December 4 is International Root Beer Day,if you doubted its popularity!
IRBD was first celebrated on December 4, 1995 in Venezuela with American root beer imported from Curaçao
.Perhaps it was a publicity stunt to INCREASE sales
but part of me wants to believe it is because of it's Worldwide acclaim...
So the answer to your question is No and NO..
There is no conspiracy against you...
if you still feel that way
go to your local psychiatrist and tell him
"i have a complex Persecution complex
mixed with a Paranoid ,Delusional state
that revolves around my love of rootbeer."
Say that EXACTLY to your psychiatrist,or even psychologist
and they will get you a treatment right away
and you can enjoy rootbeer without the baggage!
Good luck and Thanks for the visit!

On 2010-01-13 18:09, JOHN-O sheepishly asked:
LLT,
I've never been to a Tiki art show before and I'm curious. The problem is I'm not inclined to buy any art right now. Will my attendance be appreciated even if I don't have my wallet handy?
Should I just stay home?
Hello JOHN-O!
Your attendance WOULD be appreciated!
More people at an art show
the more exciting it appears
and that translates into HYPE
and HYPE translates into SALES
or that HYPE can be stockpiled
and used by the artist on a later date...
at a show where real patrons show up....
All the Tiki Artists understand that MOST folks would rather drink free booze
and look at paintings and then,after the event,
spend that hard-earned cash on something substantial
like MORE DRINKS at the corner bar!
It IS a strange thing
how most folks don't flinch at drinking away 75-100 bucks an evening
peeing or vomiting it out the next day
BUT Balk at the mere suggestion of buying art that will provide a permanent joy to their abode...
What most folks don't get
is that the artists will paint and sculpt and carve anyway
BUT sales encourages them to work harder,to get better..
The best thing an attendee can do
when not looking to buy
Is to find a painting they like
and construct a couple of questions about it
to ask the artist...
to show them you've absorbed their piece
but would like some little insights into the process or theme...
Doing that will offset the general air of cheapness surrounding most art show attendees...
And if JOHN-Q (or in this case "O") Public stays at home
then the only people going to an art show would be artists
and that spells TROUBLE,DANGER,and HIJINX....
Please try to make some Art Shows
and Talk to the artists
They'll appreciate it MORE than you'll ever suspect....
Thanks for all the questions,kids!
:)
