: : : : : : ~~This has had me thinking all morning. I'm so surprised you, of all posters, Norm, would ever feel you don't have the right to post. You LOVE the film. You LOVE Alice, right? Look, when I first discovered this site I did the usual delving and exploring for *HOURS*. Then I discovered the board. WOW! MMMMarcia and all the characters immediately grabbed my attention. I was hooked. I was IN LOVE with MohicanLand. I'm not witty, learned or well written, but I was INTERESTED in history, INTRIGUED by the film and WILLING to take a chance. From what I had read, this was about all I needed to qualify as a poster. So I posted. My life will never be the same. SEEEWWWW, all you lurkers and intermittent posters get on the stick and POST! You won't be sorry. Besides, Norm, you have a ponytail. MohicanLand LOOOOOOVES ponytails. BTW, I feel pretty much the same way you do about "The Patriot". It's no LOTM, but it sure was fun!

: : : : : Ah! The infamous, ubiquitous double post! It happens to us all. That will illustrate what happens when you post prior to your required two cups of coffee.
: : : : : GnomeDome
: : : : Maybe it WAS the lack of coffee, Gnomie. Are you sure it's not an indication of GGGG? I was hoping to qualify for this most exclusive MohicanLand Society. Maybe next year...

: : : Dana, Dana, Dana. As much as I would love to have you join our elite club, why rush things. Being a member means you have limited membership remaining in life ya know. Besides, I already told you that you don't meet the requirements just yet.
: : : You have to have some grey in your hair, have to have things dropping and sagging where they shouldnt, have to fart uncontrollable every time you stand up or sit down, have a growing list of food restrictions, have to take so many pills you need a pillbox to sort them out, have to have a doctor OTHER THAN a GP you see regularly, exlax and imodeum becomes a part of your daily prescription intake, need major ironwork in order to hold tatas up, and Michelin has a special order from you for rubberized restrainer to keep belly/butt within bounds. I'm sorry, you just don't seem to have any of those qualifications.
: : : Besides which, you were a babe in your wenching outfit, and babe just somehow doesn't seem to qualify you for this club. When they start saying things like "she's a cute old thing" or "I'm kinda fond of that old fart", or "I'll bet he/she was good looking 20 years ago......well then you might be ready.
: : : GnomeDome
: : GNOme!!!!!!
: : yOU SOUNDUNDSO YOU!
: : i am going to HELP DOC M. IN MAKING BUTTER OUT OF YOU!
: : i AM FIFTY PLUS, YOU KNOW, I CALL THIS STATE OF AFFAIRS: FABULOUS FIFTY! yOU GOT THAT????
: : So what if my belly button is touching my knees and my back is riddled with love handles and when the cellulite on my thighs shakes and trembles and rock'n'rolls, you'd wish you'd lived in CALM CALIFORNIA WITH FAR LESS SHAKES THAN NEAR ME.
: : But hey, am i complaning????
: : No!@!!
: : Being a GGGGGGG qualified you for the survivor award, Gray Gorgeous Award, FABULOUS FIFTY award (of course I will never reveal when I enter sixty, henceforth I shall forever remain FABULOUS FIFTY.)
: : So, Gnomie, I expect a post from you glorifying GGGGGG-state, not thrashing it!!
: : Or man, you are history, you are bUTTER!!
:
: Vita,
: *creak poot -standing up*
: Oh yeah! Well I was speaking of myself dear. I wasn't trashing 50+ I was merely describing MY day. And old Doc Mary described it even better!
: You seem miiiigggghhhtttyyy sensitive about being GGGG (for those who don't know there are various definitions but one is Geritol Gulping Gramps and Grannies).
: Did I say "Hey Dana, you dont want to rush in being an old fart like Vita"? Or "When your cellulite content matches Vita's we will issue you your GGGG membership card"? Nope. I don't even picture you as GGGG. I picture you as this mysterious, alluring, middle-eastern/middle-atlantic mix of femininity.
: So there!
: *creak poot - sits back down*
: GnomeDome
My goodness, GnomeDome. You make me sound like a GXXXer!:)I'll take it, though. Thanks! I'll wait for my GGGGdom, I suppose. You all don't see yourselves like I do. I see wonderful, experienced, wise people who make this place such a fabulous place to visit!
