The People Above And Below You

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is perfecting her evil laughter.

< Has no need for evil laughter at the moment.... and has to keep her true evil under wraps for a bit.

V Knows it's easier to get what you want when people think you're nice.

[quamp]

^ If that's true, why are women always so rude to me even though I'm nice to them?

< Maybe it's the women around here... or maybe not.

< Has heard there is a theory out that people are genetically programmed to be rude and distrustful of people who aren't incredibly physically attractive. People also are genetically programmed to assume that the physically unattractive have bad qualities to them.

V Thinks this is true, although has no experience with it firsthand.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Presents an interesting theory.

< Thinks it makes sense on some level, as everyone only wants the best genes they can get for their children, and no one wants to have ugly babies.

V Wants to have an ugly baby.

[redsliver]

^ so long as the mother is hot.

< assumed all babies are ugly and women are just nuts.

< wonders who's ass Quamp pulled his genetic theory out of.

V correctly thinks there's a nurture aspect involved in visual prejudices.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is right about that.

< Is just hoping that <s baby has all its fingers and toes and doesn't look like the elephant man.

V Thinks that's a pretty safe bet.

[quamp]

^ Well, that's true... unless you live next to a hazardous materials dump.

< Pulled the gentic theory "out of the ass" of a psychology journal.

< Thinks it's important to study psychology to write good stories.

V Apparently doesn't agree with < on this matter.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Was obviously expecting someone else.

< Took a few Psych courses over the years.

V Never put much stock in any of it.

[polywolly]

^ Uses all available resources when writing.

< Thinks psychology plays a large part in anticipating the characters wants, needs, reactions, emotional range outside that of a teaspoon *snicker*, etc.

< Also thinks that was way not funny.

< Cunning linguists. Sound it out. It's funny.

V Likes cunning linguists.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is playing with words again!

< Is slightly distracted by ^s sig pic.

V Understands why.

[redsliver]

^ addicted to Hans and all his incarnations, like most ovary-bearing forum goers.

< Enjoys Rickman's work, especially Dogma and his portrayal of Marvin.

V thinks Rickman has never looked better than as he did in a big white plastic midget piloted suit.

[Nanaea]

^ Um, no.

< Thought his voice acting was spot on though.

< Has a desire to watch Robin Hood again, for some insane reason.

V Thankfully remains immune.

[redsliver]

^ has a thing for foxes with bows.

< not into the whole anthropomorphic animal thing.

V has an inkling that ^ may have been talking about the Robin Hood with Christian Slater and Sean Connery where Alan Rickman cancels Christmas.

[Nanaea]

^ Duh!

< Sean Connery, Alan Rickman, Christian Slater, Kevin Costner (bad accent notwithstanding), and Morgan Freeman all in one movie! What else would < be talking about? *faints*

V Will grab the smelling salts.

[redsliver]

^ smelling salt addict trying to score a fix.

< will not enable ^.

V thinks ^ needs and intervention.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is over-reacting.

< Did actually watch Robin Hood last night... *sigh*

< Can't agree with ^^ on Kevin Costner though... he kinda drives me nuts, and not in the good way.

V Thinks it may be time for a new Robin Hood movie and knows who should be in it.

[redsliver]

^ is right

< would star Van Damme so he can get some practice in before he's cast as Gambit.

V would become a vigilante to stop Van Damme from being Gambit.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Would be the first hit on my list!

< Is horrified by the idea of Van Damme in any role that actually involves acting!

V Thinks that's a little harsh!

[redsliver]

^ unbeliever! Burn the heretic!

< loves Van Damme movies because they're a level of ridiculous that no other action hero can manage.

V unenlightened

[dazzledfirestar]

^ a fan of the ridiculous.

< Not so much.

< Prefers actors whose talents go beyond being able to kick over one's head.

V Thinks that is all one needs to become a star.

[quamp]

^ Nope. Being a star takes a lot of things. It's who you know, how talented you are, and how willing you are to kiss ass, plus much more.

< Knows < will never be a movie star.

V Star in the fanfic world.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is being very generous with the word star there.

< Is not a star in any world.

V Is a star in their own head.

[redsliver]

^ assumes I am fueled by nuclear fusion

< does not produce excessive radiation nor is responsible for the majority of genetic mutations.

V thinks < might be a little too literal

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is always too literal

< Thinks it's alright to take things literally sometimes, as most people don't say what they mean and should be called on it.

V Agrees.

[redsliver]

^ gives me my opinion when ^ wants it.

< is saved a lot of work.

V will do as ^ sees fit to save on mental effort.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Sees that < is actually thinking for herself.

< Doesn't need friends when she can have minions.

V Wants to know if the minions get benefits.
