The newest spin-off of The Annie Show is this new reality series in which eager young bachelors compete to give the wittiest request for Annie's hand.
Let's see what you've got.

which one?
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
What? Nobody thought this was Annie's "coming out of the closet thread" yet?
Posted by Leela (Member # 5320) on :
"I try to reach nirvana with a whisk and wooden spoon" Annie, from out of context.
Honey, are sure you even need a man?

Annie, as your evil triplet, I have to point out that so far, almost all Hatrack dating shows have failed.
Oh yeah. Except mine.

There, I got your hand Posted by T. Analog Kid (Member # 381) on :
Annie, we were made for each other. I play bass, sing harmonies, and produce music. You are a diva. You love to cook, I love to eat. You vaguely dig physicists. I have a vague knowledge of physics. You think I'm funny. I think I'm funny.
I asked my wife and she said "cool..."
So when you want to do this...?
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
We shall have to duel for her hand, then.
(Using any method other than hand-to-hand combat My green stripe karate is no match for your black belt kung fu.)

I'm sorry to be that ignorant, but... What is Annie show ? Posted by T. Analog Kid (Member # 381) on :
Counter-strike CS_DEagle5?
Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :
Heh. Deagles at noon. Only a true geek would duel someone in CS.
Posted by T. Analog Kid (Member # 381) on :
Hence I win, right Annie-who-digs-geeks?
Posted by Godric (Member # 4587) on :
I'm finding this thread just a little creepy...
Annie! You're too cool to sound desperate!
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
Bah. CS is for weenies.
Now if you can take me in the strategy game of your choice, then I will defer to you. Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Geeks, T. Not married geeks. Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Ah, Annie, you can frolic on my lawn anytime you want to.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
But T.'s wife said it was okay Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Annie's a prize - she gets her own hero, not someone else's borrowed one. Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
Well in that case T. and I don't have to duel, and Annie can have me.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
*sniff* In your dreams, you're already taken. You'll have to run out of the house to sleep.
Posted by Morbo (Member # 5309) on :
What is Annie show ?--Anna Good question. *looks sternly at Annie* Did you delete "the Annie Show" thread? Annie, I put a lot of effort into mocking you on that thread--all for nothing. Now I have to start over. [edit: Annie Show?, started by Jon Boy, not Annie. I missed it when I looked the first time.]

"The sun will come out Tomorrow! Bet your bottom dollar that Tomorrow I'll be here." (wooing Annie, with Annie)
Annie, my love, my life, my little cubic zurconium of reality.
I'd walk 500 miles, and 500 more, just to be the one to fall down helpless at your door.
Love me, use me, make me write bad checks.
All I want is your hand, well, not just your hand. I mean I'm not going to chop off your hand and use it for strange cloning experiments or anything. I mean, your other hand is nice too, and the elbows. oooooh, you elbows.
Hmmm. Let me try this again.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
kat,
You're right, I am taken in my dreams
...but I don't quite think that's how you meant "in your dreams."
But someone has to take one for the proverbial team to keep navarritium from winning Annie's hand...
(I say "take one for the team" because you can't really do that much with a hand unless it comes with the rest of Annie )
Actually...
*rereads Annie's post*
>> compete to give the wittiest request for Annie's hand... <<
Never mind! The giver of the wittiest request doesn't necessarily win Annie's hand.
So I'm off the hook. kat, I'm all yours.
In my dreams.

mack can't play anyway, since Annie wants a "Mr."
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
I think mack's implication is that she doesn't want anyone making witty requests to win her hand.
Posted by Godric (Member # 4587) on :
She'd rather be dragged off Seven Brides for Seven Brothers style?
Posted by larisse (Member # 2221) on :
Kinda gives a whole new meaning to being placed on the 'Rack now don't it. Extreme Dating - watchout! (That's for the guys. I am pretty sure Annie can handle herself .)

Hmmmmmmmmm....... are her hands free or not? Posted by Fishtail (Member # 3900) on :
What if they do it with song and dance?
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Most likely I'd shoot them before they got a chance.
I hate musicals.

<mandatory onanism remark> I bet people would pay to see Annie handle herself </mandatory onanism remark>
Twinky, I say "Homeworld", then. That's the only RTS I ever got into... it'll be so much less fun without a prize (since I'm "used goods")... um, how about if you win, you get Kat and if I win I don't get within 400 yds of Mack when she's packing?
[ July 30, 2003, 01:53 PM: Message edited by: T. Analog Kid ]
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
Well, I'm taken anyway (in my dreams), since I've already proposed to katharina and we've established that she probably said yes.
I've never played Homeworld, but I hear good things. No Mac version, though, which is why I've never played it...
Posted by T. Analog Kid (Member # 381) on :
well, Mack doesn't have to play so I don't see why we need a version for her...

OW! Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
Annie(horrified): I'm not your good woman! Dan_raven: Don't say that, Annie. I don't care what your past has been. To me, you'll always be my good woman. Because I love you. There. I didn't mean to tell you, but you...you dragged it out of me. I love you. Annie: It's rather difficult to believe that when I find you Hatracking with another woman. Dan_raven: That woman? Do you know why I sat with her? Annie: No. Dan_raven: Because she reminded me of you. Annie: Really? Dan_raven: Of course, that's why I'm sitting here with you. Because you remind me of you. Your eyes, your throat, your lips! Everything about you reminds me of you. Except you. How do you account for that? [aside](If) she figures that one out, she's good.[/aside] Annie: Mr. Raven. I think we'd better keep everything on a business basis. Dan_raven (appearing insulted): How do you like that? Every time I get romantic with you, you want to talk business. I don't know, there's something about me that brings out the business in every woman.
Don't you see, you'll be a patron of Hatrack. You'll get into Hatrack society. Then, you can marry me and they'll kick you out of Hatrack society, and all you've lost is $200,000
Later, Dan Raven sneaks into Annies house. There she is surprised to see him. Before she can scream for help, Dan starts talking.
Dan_raven: Ah, twin beds, you little rascal you. Annie: One of those is a day bed. Dan_raven: A likely story. Have you read any good books lately? (He lies back on her bed with a book) Annie: Mr. Raven, will you please get off the bed? What would people say? Dan_raven: They'll probably say you're a very lucky woman. Now will you please shut up so I can continue my reading? Annie: No, I will NOT shut up! And will you kindly get up at once? Dan_raven: All right. I'll go. I'll make you another proposition. Let's go in my room and talk the situation over. Annie: What situation? Dan_raven: Well...uh...what situations have you got? Annie: I most certainly will not go to your room. Dan_raven: OK, then I'll stay here. Annie (succumbing finally): ...All right, I'll come, but get out. Dan_raven: Shall we say, uh, ten minutes? Annie: Yes, ten minutes, anything. But go! Dan_raven: Because if you're not there in ten minutes, I'll be back here in eleven...with squeaky shoes on.
ps. 10 Hatrack points to the second person to guess where the above is from.
Posted by larisse (Member # 2221) on :
Dan, I think "you had [her] at 'Hello'". Oh wait... you didn't say 'Hello'. Never mind.

P.S. She plays guitar now. (Amen, brother!)

Oh, I'm aware she's my age and female. But the picture's not complete, so to speak; we need the Majors' photo before we can decide whether it's worth the road trip to Montana (and requisite stop in Vegas).
And yes, it's Majors' no matter what her family says.

Should "Morgan Majors" ring a bell?

Like Richard Berg. Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
I was never on the pre-UBB incarnation of Hatrack, though.
Edit: Now Richard Berg I do remember, though over the last couple of years I've seen him much more at Ars Technica than here.

Yes, at one time he was the reigning King of Hatrack before he jilted us for his other forum. Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
Well, he is a moderator there.
With responsibilities and all. *sniff* he's all grown up now... *cries*

As I recall, the breadth of his knowledge and interests was astonishing. I can't believe Ars Technica really does it for him, you know? I mean they're so limited there! We are the forum with that vast scope to talk about absolutely anything at all! How could he think of leaving us for them? <sobs quietly into her hankerchief>
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
I am amused in oh-so-many ways.
So many tempting offers, this being among the most tempting:
quote:Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, marry me?
But I do suppose T Smith is right about our past, and TAK nailed my weakness for physicists. Dan's scenario was at least well-rehearsed.
Glad that out of all these fine threads, Richard, this one would tempt you to reply. I have pictures on the way as soon as foobonic is back in action.
However, I shall have to refrain judgement until I've fully considered all my possibilities, and this involes waiting a week while they hook up our DSL at my new house.
Carry on, carry on. Have some refreshments while you're waiting.

They aren't limited there at all. I fluctuate between posting here, at Ars, and at a few other fora I frequent. Ars is the most broad, in terms of scope, of the lot. Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
Brettly, I don't remember you on the Big Mouth Lion at all. Were you around back then? What name did you post under?
Morgan Majors started about a third of the threads on the BML forum. You would have had a hard time missing her.
Twinky: it IS? Maybe we should be posting there instead, then! Is it like hatrack at all? I wandered over there a few times but what I saw seemed to be all technical stuff and only technical stuff. Not even technical stuff in general but just computers. Maybe I didn't wait long enough or look in enough detail, though. Will you describe to me your impression of what it's like over there? Are they newbie-friendly?

so many threads, so little Annie?!

Posted by Richard Berg (Member # 133) on :
I'd highly recommend Ars...except for the fact that the forums of general interest are now subscriber-only. The tech fora -- I was fascinated with them for awhile until I learned everything they had to teach; I never thought it would happen, but I'm largely a Lykaion whore these days. The Lounge is a bit more madcap than we're used to (or not, y'all seem to have stepped up the rambunctiousness in my absence), but I think you'd find the tenor and intelligence of SoapBox debates quite agreeable.
quote:I can't believe Ars Technica really does it for him
FWIW, I'm also a moderator at Doom9. That's it! Now that I have two crowns on my head, I can offer Annie one of them in matrimony, thus enthroning the Hatrack Regency.
Edit: I remember Brettly10. I'm having trouble finding my BigMouth archive in the midst of my digital packrat-itis, so I can't say anything witty about him just yet.

Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
RB summed up Ars pretty well.
I spend most of my time in the gaming forum, the Macintosh forum, and the Velvet Room (though because I have no subscription as yet I must lurk).
I used to go to the Soap Box before it went subscriber-only; the discussions there are sort of like Ornery meets Hatrack.
Edit: I wonder how many decades it will be before we see a landmark post from Mr. Berg?

Alas, snatched away by a rogue tiger -- and I just made my Vegas trip, too. At least I happened upon pics in the interim, if I recall vaguely. (Meanwhile, funny that even though I attended the first picnic, AKA is probably the only current poster to know what I look like.)

That's my favourite Marx Brothers film. Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
Richard, I probably don't know what you look like anymore. People change a lot between 18 and ... however old you are now. 22? 23?
Slash is still around, though he posts pretty infrequently these days. Of that group I think everyone else has gone, though, you're right.
