Davy Drama - The Cast
Beavertown Box
Well, I think it's time to come clean. Although Sarah accused Linda on
this ng of being Davy's Mailbox , and on her own list she flip flopped
and told her members it was Renee, she was wrong, as always, about who
is who.
It's only me, Therra. I just had to... make fun of some of the
stupidity I was reading here. Actually for a normal fan it might be
kind of cute, taking photos of a mail box but it's kind of nutty in
this case. I wanted to inject some levity into what I saw as a real
doom and gloom time on AMM. Please know I was not making fun of the
average, starry-eyed Davy fan. I am one, myself.
I will say I greatly appreciated those of you who participated in the
fun and who wrote to , and chided, "Davy's Mailbox". Many of you
were downright hilarious. I LOVED it. You were great. I am dying to
know who House is. Will you 'fess up? You are perfectly delightful.
And Telephone? Want to speak up?
I just come around here on occasion to see the people I like, Gap and
Allie and Daye and Estrella and the other "sanies" as opposed to the
zanies. I don't hang much since the ng got ruined by the bad element.
Thanks everyone, for the last few days. You made it fun
xxoo,
Therra ( formerly...well, you know)

i confess i was the house. i decide to flame 'beavertown box' because i
thought a certain individual might recognize themselves and see how silly it
all sounds. i enjoyed everyone who played along - and hope it helped to
lighten the tone around here a bit.
this is a good time to end it, as someone famous once said "we don't want to
run this thing into the ground".
therra, getting the mail will never be the same again! thanks for the
laughs, but did you have to be funnier than me? <g>

The simple matter of the fact is that you cann't handle the truth! Laura
Horrigan got herself into trouble and was busted by Peter and then banned! So
don't threaten anyone with your crap! I would strongly suggest you leave Therra
alone and myself alone before you fine yourself in deeper with certain people
then you care to be in!

antics as Davy's mailbox was hilarious, I laughed my butt off.
Now I have to find a way to put it back on!! I haven't read anything

LOLOLOL!! You could make a lot of money doing that. Some people

I was really missing some people during this romp....like d3 and Mark
The Shark, Donna, Lucy and others who, no doubt, would have added a
spark or two. Truly, I was SO happy to see you and Daye and Allie join
in - and a few people I didn't know ( like Tunzter and The Other One)
who obviously "got" it. Samantha was funny at baiting the objects (
and baiting Sarah) and some of her posts provided ideas. I giggled
when people started to take sides with either house or box.
Keep up the good vigil, Estrella. You are a stronger, wiser woman than
I.

Ah... the point has been made - yet again! For Pete's Sake!! This
was fun, a really great laugh, except for those same old assholes that
have to trash everything in their path! GO AWAY!! Some of us like
the humor, know how to laugh, and how to play along. Some don't, but
seriously need to learn. Just don't do it on my time. It's short
enough as it is.

your disbain of me has gone on long enough. Stuff in your ear! As I know the
stories and such that you are spreading as they are getting back to me! You
are suppose to be an adult but act like a total jerk and a moron.
I feel sorry for anyone that is so insecure that you have to make others look
bad to make themselves feel good. She was behind that joke and that is that.
You didn't see the evidence or recieve the phone calls, so shut up.

i couldn't agree more therra, i was loving it when ppl starting getting it
and playing along.
i thought i was gonna die when sarah actually answered the box and house
tho. "i didn't go ON the lawn!" "i didn't touch the box, i only crouched
in front of it!" that was classic, flew right over her head.

As someone who has done some work with those who need therapy in the
past, would you say that usually fanatics lack a sense of humour, esp.
when it comes to the object of their obsession? I haven't read any
studies of such, but it's my humble observation that quite often
fanatics do seemingly lack a sense of humor. If you can point me to
any articles that might back up this idea, I would certainly be
grateful. Or if you know any studies of such.
Thanks,

Thank you, Ruthie. It was really fun. At this point, I needed to laugh
too. This group, as a whole, are really a lively, entertaining lot.
Many different personalities, for sure, but some really creative and

sarah has shown remarkable inability to recognize her own behavior.
but in general i believe that the extreme fanatic does not see humor when it
concerns their object of affection. it is serious business for them. they
are on a mission so to speak. like any single minded pursuit it leaves out
the full spectrum of emotion. was the full spectrum there to begin with?
good question. another thing i have noticed is that the "love" seems to be
almost abusive as well, there is a desire to posess and control. we all know
the stories of fan obsessions that go too far.
i imagine some studies have been done, i don't know of any offhand. try
psychcrawler.com
interesting topic - fortunately most fans don't fall into this category.
anyone else with some thoughts?
Deidre
Thanks for the insight and the web site search engine. A good friend
long ago came up with a name for these type of fans, after observing
Star Trek fandom for a few years. She calls them "single-interest
fans", and they can be found in any hobby or interest group, from dog
shows to Monday morning quarterbacks. She noted the total devotion to
the one and only hobby, and the upset that ensued when anyone dared to
make a joke about the interest or the obsession of that particular
fan. I'm always reminded that the dictionary shows that "fan" is,
after all, a backformation of the word "fanatic".

the other night when Kevin Bacon says to Jack, "So, YOU'RE my
stalker," to which Jack replies, "I prefer professional crazed fan."
LOL!!!! I was "lucky" or "unlucky" enough to "enjoy" the fantasy
world for a very short while, but it still was a fantasy world. It
took me a little while longer than I would have liked for me to
realize this, but ultimately, I did.
