Oooohhh, I LOVE a little drama in the moooorning .....

HIIII!!!! *waves*

Wow, I've missed a lot, haven't I?

OK, so, I know it's over, and I know I'm sticking my head in, and I know I may be a shit stirrer .... but I gotta say this. And I only gotta say this because it's over and so on and so forth .... although if people are still sore, and therefore cannot construe this as a joke, I totally get it, and a) accept any flames/attacks/rolls-of-eyes/general ignoringness as my due and b) deeply, deeply apologise.

But I think a sign of maturity is the ability to laugh at oneself. And I certainly don't think I'd like to be associated with a place where people can't laugh at themselves. *raises flag of hope. 'Cos I believe in us*

So. Whilst I will keep my own thoughts to myself, I will say ... this whole thing just reminded me of this. Which y'all should have seen anyway. ^^

The really relevant passages (if you don't want to read through the whole thing, cos it is kinda long.) are near the end. But the whole thing is just funny even without any kind of correlation.

And please remember: Joke. Again, I'm sorry if we're still too near the *cough for dramatic effect* "incident" to make them. But hey, the best time to intefere is now!


Oh, and are there any extras on the M*A*S*H DVDs?

He DID. House is letting Wilson sleep on his "couch". Which we know means his bed, but whatever. I think it made him feel better to pretend he's straight still. After all, he had just found out his third wife was having an affair.

You use words like "jest", which actually means you rock, because so many people forget about the cool words! And you're not the only one who can get a bit extremist; I can at times, too.

It could be funny. I'd have to consult people for their input, and I'm pretty sure they'd tell me if they thought it a bad idea.

Yay for friends. =)

Well ... actually, considering I was the one in the center of the swirling crap last week ;) I think that posting a list of the "oldsters" standards would be a good idea. However, the one thing that people have to realize is that not everyone is going to stick to those standards.

What's the old saying ... rules are made to be broken?

But I do think that, especially if it's done in a comedic way (as M*A*S*H itself is ...) it could really work. And those of us "newbies" would know what to expect if we post something that's not up to those particular standards.

Seriously. I think it's a good idea. I wish I had seen something like that before I started posting my fics here :) It would've helped A LOT.

I've been meaning to e-mail you! I've just been...fairly incapacitated for the past two weeks. But since I'm doing better, I'll e-mail you tonight, once my computer starts behaving a bit better.

As far as the rules-type post, I really do need to talk to my friends over on my journal and get their input. Not on whether or not I should do it; more on what their own standards are and such. I know a lot of them, but I'd like to verify before posting anything.

Heh! I thought you'd forgotten about me ;) Don't worry about not emailing me ... I've been pretty sick this entire week and haven't been online much. Plus both my kids are sick too. YAY!

The rules: I actually think it would be a good idea to put it in the actual header of the group so that people can read it when they join. I think as long as it's funny - it shouldn't intimidate anyone :) If you'd like a newbie's input when/if it's finished, let me know. I'd love to take a look ... and it would be equally ironic since I'm the one who started all the wank this time ;)

Look forward to hearing from you!
