My mother, who lives in Baltimore, told me that my cousin, who is a
hygienist working for the Orioles' team dentist (so it must be true!), found
out about this little ass whooping at the hands of Cal. It seems like the
entire local media was in on a cover-up because it seems to be pretty common
knowledge that Cal has a mean streak.
On a related note, my mother also told me that Cal Ripken is a notorious
wife beater who's marriage is on real shaky ground. I tend to not believe
that, but it's the rumor that's been circulating for some time now around
Baltimore. My mother believes that he'll eventually fall in disgrace. I
hope not because I have about 400 different Cal Ripken baseball cards.

Anyone who kicks the shit out of Kevin Costner can't be all bad...

No. But Costner's deserved a real good bitch slapping for Waterworls and
the Postman.

the truth is costner & brady anderson....
It would be a fantasy come true, if only.
Scott said, Hi Kevin. He said that Mr. Costner could not
have been any more friendlier or kinder.
Just a little nice gossip for a change.

Nice gossip? Is that an oxymoron?
Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Heretofore all posts
concerning Mr Kostner have been pretty negative except for
the person who wanted to sleep with him. LOL
You obviously equate gossip with something negative or
nasty. IMO it doesn't have to be that way. But hey, I'm
from Texas, we all have big hearts here, I guess you aren't
used to that.
I really do not know what an oxymoron is, but if I had to
guess, I would
think it is someone like you, hee hee hee
Wull
B. I won't even bother to explain what an oxymoron is, since it would be wasted
on someone with your room temperature IQ.
C. The jist of the post is that gossip, *by its very definition* is negative or
bitchy... duh! If you don't get that, I think you might be in the wrong
place... something like "Kevin Costner likes puppies" isn't all that
gossip-worthy.
My understanding is gossip is talking about someone behind their back, often in
ways to take their inventory. And true, often in a negative or bitchy way. My
understanding is gossip is used to vent hate toward someone, used to pick apart
someone, used to ridicule someone, and used to build up someone's ego by
putting someone down.
My understanding is gossip should not be confused by wanting to share some
thoughtful or kind words about someone and should not be confused with wanting
to boast about someone in which it would make them look outstandingly good.
At least that seems to be what my understanding of gossip means in this group.
But regardless of all that, it is sometimes a breathe of fresh air to hear
something good about someone, though you take a risk in being flamed for
trying. :(

You got that right. Altho' the worst of them are now happily
ensconsed in their own little e-mail group.

It might be possible to get away with this, now.

Let's not re-write ASG history, Dez. It took me all of one post, way
back when, supporting Costner's "stand-up thing" re his 2nd son, to
get me flamed by you.
A lot of you.
Maybe you have forgotten but I haven't.
And neither have the archives.
Deborah.
Then why did the poster get attacked? He was only stating that his son meet
Costner and thought he was nice. He didn't appear to be what you deem
*slobbering fandom.* I don't see too much truth in your statement here.
Sorry.

She's not rewriting history, Deborah. Read what Dez said again. She said:
>there have been plenty of times where people have posted positive
> >gossip about celebrities and not gotten flamed for it.
She doesn't say that no one gets flamed for it. The fact that you did get
flamed is hardly proof that others don't. If you want examples of people
not getting flamed, just look at the thread on pleasant celebrity
encounters. You came to asg scolding us for saying negative things about
Kevin. We don't take to that kindly around here. Then you posted on and on
(and on) about how much you like to have sex with married men. Post after
post after post all about you. No celebrities (unless you added something
about how much you like Kevin) and no gossip about celebrities. You got so
tiresome, asg'ers who rarely to never flame joined in the roasting.
You have been so much better lately. No boring talk about your personal
life. No lectures showing an anti-gossip bias. Now if you could just drop
the whining about the way you were treated before. People were hard on
you. But you came to a newsgroup about celebrity gossip and complained
about us gossiping about your favorite celebrity. And then posted endless
off-topic posts about yourself.
Whether people get flamed or not for posting positively about celebrities
depend on the post. Anyone who has the courtesy to lurk a while and read
the anti-FAQ first is unlikely to run into trouble, unless that is what
they are looking for.

Well, touche. YOU read what dez said again. What dez said was that I
got flamed because I "Costnered out". In contradiction to this, I
said I got flamed from the very first post - which by the way was in
the form of a message TO Costner. It was sent THROUGH this ng, but it
was not directed TO this ng, and said nothing about gossip pro or con.
You folks are full of it. Come clean and just admit to your current
inquisitor (not me) that you do not allow positive things to be said
about Costner in this ng, simply because (ostensibly) the consensus
among your regulars is that he is an egoistic phillanderer. And
(ostensibly) they think that's a sin.
There you go Bright Light. There's the scoop.
Deborah.
Thanks for the scoop, Deborah. I have noticed some negitiveness toward Costner
here.

that you think an effective way to communicate with your favorite sleb
is through *this* newsgroup says oodles about your lack of noodles,
Deboring...
but Emma's right: you didn't get flamed for your Costnering
alone...you got flamed for your endless postings about your sordid
personal life, too! you face facts, dear: you drew a huge bullseye on
your head and said, "smack me here! smack me here!" over and over
(and over and over...).

Does it? Can you suggest a better way?

Yeah. But I'm not talking about the continuing story. I'm talking
about my inititial post. This poster that Bright Lights is concerned
about sent an initial post - you get the connection yet, dez?
I'll give you a little more time, if necessary.
Deborah.
"inititial post?" Better use that time learning how to spell.
Or do something other than brag about screwing strangers on
pool tables.

Yes. You could try writing him C/O whatever studio is currently stuck with
him.
Would it be read by him? No, which is the same result you'd get here. The
difference is, that way you wouldn't piss off hundreds of people.

It seems to work for others.
I find you to be a bit weird.
