I have often thought that if I won the lottery, and I won't because I
don't participate, I would invite all of my RATSC buddies to a
pleasant resort so that we could meet face to face. But lately I have
thought that instead of name tags, we would each be assigned,
randomly, another name, and would not tell each other who we are.
That way we could get to know each other face to face without the
baggage from any disputes that have arisen here from time to time.

Alas, I can only play with this in my head.

Jude Comier would have a cajun dialect. Okay, I am embellishing,
based upon his French sounding surname and Louisiana home. He would
be cute but have no idea that he is cute. All the ladies would
(((hug)))) him.

Dana would be the dykiest woman there, as she has described herself.

I would be the chubby redhead who speaks TMI.

Shirley would be wearing a bomber jacket and windblown hair and a big
smile, having just flown in.

Anthony and Record Hunter and Rtherquiet would be thin, well dressed
and neat, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Anthony would have the gift of prophecy (how does he know everything a
week before it happens?)

DonnaB would be talkative and use a strange mix of expressions derived
from the deep south and Brooklyn

Diva would be thin and liberal

Queenie would be very pleasant (I've just started to know you,
Queenie)

Ravl would be a teacher, but a bit tired and stressed these days (keep
up the good work!)

T. David would have a Maine accent and ride in on a Harley with a girl
he keeps gazing at lovingly, like Jack used to with Carly.

Marlene B would try to pass off Canadian dimes

D.M. Stillwood would be wearing an Ann Coulter Sux T-Shirt

Cory would be handsome and seated in a lounge chair on the deck,
surrounded by all these middle aged women who adore him. Then he
would start ranting about Republicans.

Karen would be discussing politics and I would agree with eveything
she says

KC would be warm and friendly

Patricia Wadley would be making lists of things we all like and don't
like

Chicagofan would be speaking in a Georgia drawl and have a Blue Dot in
a Red State bumper sticker

Elmer would be rational and eloquent

Alia would be a fascinating southern lady full of surprises

Who have I missed? They must be having slunch.

Dykiest *straight* woman there. Not sure I'd out-dyke any actual dykes.

I'm also short and stocky, with a big chest. And I'm a female baritone.

LOL!!! That has to be irritating... then again, I like voices like that,
so maybe not. :)

I'm sort of short too, 5'4", 110 lbs. and virtually flat chested by
today's standards. ;) I'm the klutzy, hapless, Diane Keaton type when
it comes to anything domesticated, that women are supposed to be so good
with. So I wouldn't be much help in party preparations. ;)

God, I hadn't even thought of the musicians we would have. My first
choice will be the Neville Brothers, Linda Ronstadt since RH loves her
(sorry I never answered you about that album; I have a turntable but
it hasn't been connected since I moved to this house in 1999.) and
since this is fantasy, all four Beatles, Otis Redding, and I am sure I
will think of others.

Ha! Guess what? As of Wednesday, Sept. 5, this gal is a free bird!! This
chick gave her notice and after 13 years of tending other people's kids
during their school recesses, I am DONE!! Didya hear the WOOHOO! I just
gave?!

With everything happening with my son, my husband and I decided it was
time for me to call it quits. Children and parents have changed so much
and administration is so fearful of something happening to cause a
lawsuit, the last thing I need on my head is to worry about saying or
doing the wrong thing. I'll miss the $17.00 an hour and the great
schedule it afforded, but the pressure that's been lifted is very
liberating.

Thanks for the shout out MsLiz!

You have to imagine the best suit you can, on the best body you ever

It's such an oldie (at least back to the 70's) I would have thought people

Good for you Rav. When I retired back in '97, it was wonderful. The first
year was like a complete vacation, then I got a bit depressed, missing the
whole work routine. Didn't take me too long to get back to the wonderful
part. Enjoy the hell out of it.

Some things money can't buy. And just because it's a cliche, doesn't

Urban Dictionary has "slunch" defined as:

Sex instead of lunch
A combination of a slap and a punch
A combination of a slut, a cunt, and a bitch

So two of three meanings are pretty unpleasant.

I like the wine with lunch thing. Sex is nice, too.

I'm fully photophobic part of the time. The rest of the time I struggle with

Two? I can guess you'd go with 'slap and punch' as unpleasant, but I'm
not sure which of the other two are unpleasant. One is an daily
noontime goal of mine and the other a lifetime personality achievement.

You don't need to look at them ever, but eventually someone

Thanks for the fantasy reunion invite. I have posted a very few times - but
I so enjoy the analyses you folks come up with on all of the stories that I
don't feel I often have a lot to offer that is as good as what you all do.
I have been watching ATWT since the fall of 1960 and GL a few years after
that - in fact, I can remember listening to GL on the radio as a child
before it was on TV. I have the books on both series so am really into it.
BTW, I never ff any of the storylines though I like some more than most.
Right now I am really interested in the Luke/Noah story and least interested
in anything about Will/Gwen and especially Allison. Also, I really enjoy
reading the comments of the RATSC people who are gay on the L/N storyline;
it gives me a good perspective on it. And I just love, love seeing Scott
Bryce again as Craig and having Rosanna back so that is also a favorite SL.
Judy

You have to understand that an English Professor of mine said that we were
each entitled to only two coinages, so it matters to pick carefully!!

But, no, I've never heard of dunch. And, I've never been to Spain.

Could be, I guess, since it's your fantasy. But, could be that I'd be very
quiet and wouldn't use any odd expressions at all. Most likely I'd try to
draw people out & get them to talk about themselves.

Yes, changing *anything* after that long is an exciting feeling. I
equate it to Karen wanting to move, but there's no packing and throwing
away involved. The hard part will be Tuesday and Wednesday saying
goodbye to the kids. I'll miss the hugs.

also their biggest chart hit. I was born the same year it came out, so
people assumed that's why I named Jude. Nope, after the saint.

But I would sure love the royalties just from that song alone.

Oh, I loved that book. I thought I was the only one. I was a Hardy
huge fan for the longest time. I devoured as many of his books as I
could ~ Far From the Madding Crowd, The Return of the Native, Tess of
the d'Urbervilles,The Woodlanders, The Mayor of Casterbridge. I'm glad
to hear you did your thesis on him. He was a genius.

Jeanine Garafalo's character, IIRC. Jerry fell for her because they
had exactly the same sense of humor, then broke it off because, "How
can I be with another me?"

I think he was a genius too. It's a shame that there are not more lit
courses about him anymore. His novels/philosophy are so today but it's hard
to teach young people about that (guess because it requires contemplating,
which to many of them is a waste of time!) I've also noticed that there's
not a lot of finding the meaning of one's life anymore - now it's just
entitlement and their "whatever" philosophy!

Jude, is there a story behind you being named after St Jude? Since he is
the saint of the impossible I just wondered. I was named after him also
because my mother almost died during her pregnancy and prayed to him.
