Wow, my chance to participate in a real live reality show? Yay!!!
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Yes, except it's a fake, time delayed, game show. Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
Bump.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
this is too much.
Posted by Juxtapose (Member # 8837) on :
so are you up or still up ero?
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
Up, and leaving for work. I don't want to know what your answer to that question is.

I wanna be Vanna White. *strikes pose in cocktail dress*

My whole life is a real life reality show. Except without the cameras. Or the money.
Posted by Juxtapose (Member # 8837) on :
Or the people who are all strangely above-average in (physical) attractiveness. Or the pathetic, self indulgent posturing.
Oh, and people actually care about you.

pH is my Vanna. Smile for the camera!
We're getting a bunch of bachelor submissions - bachelorettes, where are you? One or two is not enough!
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Here, here.
Where is our incentive to join this game? I still haven't seen enough bachelorettes to make me join.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
quote:Originally posted by Kama:
quote:Please respond only if you're single.
why?
Because we're not trying to facilitate adultery?
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
it's kama, she has a harem of men.
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Thats not fair, we're contracted after all. Posted by beatnix19 (Member # 5836) on :
Sheer craziness! And I would actually qualify as a real life bachelor now. Wow. Except, of course, my girlfriend probably wouldn't like me taking part. Still, I'm interested in watching the mayhem.
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Don't give us more competition, give us more bachelorettes!
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
this isn't the way to get girls, fellas
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Sorry.... Posted by 0range7Penguin (Member # 7337) on :
Which part in particular. What is being said or the whole idea of this thread to begin with?
Posted by beatnix19 (Member # 5836) on :
I agree but it should be very enteretaining to watch.
Posted by 0range7Penguin (Member # 7337) on :
that was to breyerchic04 not Advent 115. He snuck that apology in there on me.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
Not the whole idea of the thread, the idea could be interesting, but the response to it. Though likely, even if this thread were taken as fun (like data match in high school) it shouldn't be expected to end up with relationships.
I don't think I will partisipate, but I will give you all my aim name, and you're welcome to IM me and get to know me. breyerchic04

I think the idea was to have fun with it, and see what happened, as opposed to a serious attempt at relationship building.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Heh... what a neat idea! This looks like it should be fun to follow.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
None of this "follow" business - PLAY!

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :
Hmm....I'm not sure if I consider myself desperate enough to play. Plus, I get really nervous around attractive men. Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
ero, I'm not saying the idea you created it under was too serious, but the one some of the guys in this thread are taking was.
And no one has taken me up on talking to them, so they aren't resoursful.
Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :
breyerchic, I would talk to you, but I don't think that's what you meant. I mean, this is called the Hatrack Dating Game, and I'm not sure I would want to date you. No offense Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
I don't think I want to date you either, but you can talk to me, that's open to any hatracker except for fugu, he smells.
Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :
Well, I'm not sure how you feel. I can get pretty smelly. Just ask my roommate.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
*grin* I was joking, I talk to him all the time, I just hoped he would say that (and I needed the except for affect). Come IM me.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Aw. You talk to me all the time Abby and you never get nervous. And I'm devilishly handsome.
Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :
Ha. I just don't show it. I'm nervous all the time around you. Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
quote:Because we're not trying to facilitate adultery?
If you don't wanna date a man/woman who is not single, just let it be known. Don't let your morals influence my chance of getting a date. Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
I'm considering playing... I dunno, I don't want to come off as desperate either...
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
*strikes another pose* You know, contestants DO get to enjoy the company of the lovely erosomniac and Vanna pH. So...there's another incentive.

This is good news for those of us who are relatively unattractive. Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
If Aod and pH will be the bachelorettes then I will most certainly participate.
And Jemmy, speak for yourself. That could actually raise my chances.
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
pH is unavailable nowadays.
You may express your admiration, awe, and wonder to the boy yourself if I ever get him to post here.
-pH
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
What boy? Who is so great that they could get pH without being a Hatracker? And Why didn't you inform us of this sooner?

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
Don't get me started; I could brag for HOURS.
The point is, every single Hatracker needs to play the Hatrack dating game. Vanna pH has spoken. *cracks whip*
-pH
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
*catches whip with his bare hand and holds it*
Then why are you tempting us with your cocktail dress and seductive poses? Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
Don't make me get my cattle prod.

Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Don't make me use my big blacksmith arms to break it. Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Alright. I'm convinced.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
Bump, again.
Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :
Convinced which way, Raia? Because I'm becoming more and more convinced away.
Posted by Celaeno (Member # 8562) on :
I think this will be really fun to watch. I wish it would get started already. Hint, hint.
But I guess that wouldn't be fair. You said three days, so it has to be three days.
This is me sighing.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
EL, I decided it would be fun to participate. Why not?
I'm bored.
Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :
True. Boredom is always a good motivator.
(Also, I am in a better mood all-round today. I apologise for the earlier snark, everyone.)
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
You're only forgiven if you play. Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :
/ogre
How about I just break through the shyness and tell yous people who you're going to date on this forum? Huh? How you like dem apples? *cracks knuckles*
/ogre
Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :
I'm not going to play because I'm in a space right now where I can't.
Although if all parties involved don't mind me playing in a strict "get to know EL better just as a person and maybe friend" sort of way then I can play. But not dating.
Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
eros, how many people are playing at the moment? I'd sort of like an idea before I decide whether to play or not. No names need be mentioned, just a number will do (if you are willing to give that).
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
Roughly 9 or 10.
Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
Any sort of male/female split up there? I sort of want to know if it's going to be all guys competing for one girl or if it's going to be a split of some sort.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
There are definitely more guys than girls, but there is more than one girl. Fair enough? Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
Fair enough. I'm in. *submits profile*
Posted by jennabean (Member # 8590) on :
DINK DINK STOPPED CHARGING. COMPLETELY. I HAVE NO COMPUTER... I will be single foorrreeevvveerr!! Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
Don't worry jennabean, I was planning on submitting your profile for you anyway Posted by jennabean (Member # 8590) on :
Well as long as you're playing dirty, give me some cuties okay...
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Eros, when you post the profiles, it might be easier to browse them if you did one post with male and one post with female profiles. Shoulnd't be hard anyway if there aren't that many.
But this is just round one, maybe if people find it entertaining we'll get more players in the next round. Just an idea to organize it easier for you.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
That was my plan in the first place.
I'd really like to see one more bachelorette sign up! Come on, ladies, it'll be fun and entertaining if nothing else.
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Yes, I mean come on I'm up for grabs. And did I forget to mention..... no I shouldn't say, if I did it would ruin it for the other guys.
I do have some morals.0:-)
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Come on eros, snap to. The 3 day waiting period is over.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
I'm currently, uh, incapacitated, but I will post them in the morning!
Let the games begin!
Posted by Advent 115 (Member # 8914) on :
Finally. Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
It's the afternooooooon.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
I apologize: due to my aforementioned incapacitation, I woke up a bit late. Compiling now!

FEMALE PROFILES!
CODE NAME: The Flame-haired Israeli Princess (aka Bachelorette #1!) AGE: 19 HEIGHT: 5'4" WEIGHT: I'm a girl... you're not going to get me to reveal my weight. RELIGION: Jewish (but if the guy isn't Jewish, it's not the end of the world, by any means). ~100 WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF: I'm of a short/average height, with long, red curly hair (a trait I've found most guys to particularly like -- supposedly, it's sexy). I'm a vocal performance major, and a woman of many interests: I love to sing, read, cook, engage in practically any form of artwork, walk my dog in the sunshine, dance (though I'm not very good at it, for the most part), and a number of other things. I'm easy to please. ~50 WORD DESCRIPTION OF WHAT YOU THINK OPPOSITE SEX WOULD FIND MOST APPEALING ABOUT YOU: I'm a good listener, I have long sexy red hair, I'm not afraid to joke around and be myself, and I very much enjoy wearing skirts (Long ones especially, though, sorry guys). ONE INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOU: I was born in Jerusalem, Israel, and have lived practically everywhere. Well, not everywhere, but many places... I have never spent more than 5 years in one place. I also lived in England for a while, as well as a few states in the US. I speak fluent Hebrew.
CODE NAME: The Hapa-Haole Hottie (aka Bachelorette #2!) AGE: 18 HEIGHT*: 5'5" WEIGHT*: Height-weight proportional RELIGION: Christian ~100 WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF: I'm hot and beautiful and I know it - and you will, too! I'm smart but not a dork - at least, not yet. I love animals and all things cutesy, with emphasis on Hello Kitty, dolphins and African Gray Parrots. I don't know what it means to half-ass something. I have a healthy dose of self-confidence, know how to keep a conversation moving, and mean what I say. ~50 WORD DESCRIPTION OF WHAT YOU THINK OPPOSITE SEX WOULD FIND MOST APPEALING ABOUT YOU: I love hard and laugh easily. I'm a great friend and a better lover. Oh, I have a model body and a webcam. ONE INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOU: I was a bad, bad girl, but I've cleaned up my act - mostly .
CODE NAME: The Brainy Blonde (aka Bachelorette #3!) AGE:17(almost 18) HEIGHT*:5' 4" WEIGHT*:Since I have to be honest... around 145 lbs. RELIGION: Protestant, but there is some serious doubting involved, and I might start going to a Catholic church with a friend. I'm not too picky about your religion, though. ~100 WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF: I'm blonde, yet intelligent. I enjoy school, and I ask a lot of questions. I like to "know" things- how things work, why people are the way they are, etc. I really, really value honesty- if you lie, I'll find out, and you don't want that to happen. I'm headed to college in the fall, as a music education major. I'll listen to just about anything, and I'll read any fiction book. I don't really like non-fiction. I used to be highly religious, but certain situations have left me with a great deal of doubt, and I haven't been to church in quite a while because of that. I'm open to hearing new ideas, as long as they are intelligent. ~50 WORD DESCRIPTION OF WHAT YOU THINK OPPOSITE SEX WOULD FIND MOST APPEALING ABOUT YOU: I enjoy a good, deep conversation, but I can talk about nothing, too. I know how to have fun, but I keep it within limits. I'm a bit crazy, but in a good way. I'll try just about anything. I'm trying to be healthier and happier. I live my life to become a better person and to be a benefit to those around me. ONE INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOU: I'm Italian and American by citizenship and birth(dual citizenship). I'm an interesting person in general, at least I've been told. So that was as good as I could come up with. Oh, and I've ridden in a dogsled, and want to do it again.
GUYS! E-mail me which bachelorette you'd prefer to play for.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
If there's only two girls, wouldn't it have been easier to put all the guy profiles up, and then have the two women choose which guys they want playing for them?
The way it is now, three guys that the girls have no interest in might choose them and that sort of defeats the purpose, unless you were planning on posting the guy profiles next and have the girls pick, then match them up afterwards, in which case I bow to your genius.

MALE PROFILES!
CODE NAME: The Historian Heartthrob (Bachelor #1) Age: 21 Height: 5’8ish Weight: 150lbs
I’m a fairly intelligent college student who is very aware of his surroundings. I love history, and plan to further study it in school towards making it a career. I love writing, but have no short term plans of making it into a career, there’s plenty of time for that. My interests focus around reading, writing, movies (Star Wars and Holy Grail) and music (I love Dave Matthews). I’m not into the bar scene, it, and drinking to excess, have little appeal to me. I’ll do anything once, so long as I’m pretty sure it won’t kill or maim me.
What I think the opposite sex will find most attractive about me: My sense of humor. I know when to be serious, but more often than not my default setting is funny. I’m also a great conversationalist, I can chat it up for hours, and usually only half of it is geeky nerd stuff. I’m cute too, or so I’m told.
CODE NAME: The Cute Conversationalist (Bachelor #2) AGE: 20 (21 in March) HEIGHT*: 5'9" WEIGHT*: 150lbs RELIGION: Somewhere between theist and agnostic. Take from that what you will.
~100 WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF: I'm a quiet guy who has a lot to say once you get me started. I'm intelligent, somewhat funny and/or witty, and at least kind of cute. I have a great sense of humor, and I like to make others laugh when I can (although sometimes this works out better than others ). I like deep discussions, although I hate arguing religion and politics unless it can be done in a diplomatic fashion. I'm also fairly creative and like to write. So basically, I'm just a smart, kind of funny, kind of creative guy.
~50 WORD DESCRIPTION OF WHAT YOU THINK OPPOSITE SEX WOULD FIND MOST APPEALING ABOUT YOU: I'd point to my self-description really. I mean I think it's my intelligence and my sense of humor/wit that most women would find appealing about me. I'm a good conversationalist and just someone nice to talk to. I'm also a great listener (I love to listen to others).
ONE INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOU: I own a decent sized collection of Japanese texts but I only know a minimal amount of Japanese (I'll get there eventually )
CODE NAME: The Chiseled Child-Lover (Bachelor #3) 20 yrs old 5'9" 150 lbs Atheist
I’m a twenty year old who works at a Defined Fitness in New Mexico. I work out frequently. I spend most of my waking hours either on Hatrack or at my college classes. I am a fervent reader and have read most of OSC’s science fiction novels, which is why I joined Hatrack. I enjoy political debates and am highly involved in my local political debates; I also enjoy having intelligent debates with others so that I might find the motivations behind their views. I also enjoy online tournaments with my friends on Xbox Live.
I am very active in maintaining a good appearance: I take good care of my body through constant exercise. I am an active member in my community and participate in several political debates a month. I enjoy console gaming and working out at the gym were I also am employed as a desk clerk. I am good with children. I can cook several varieties of fine food such as Mexican, French, Cajun, and Greek.
CODE NAME: The Witty Wooer (Bachelor #4) AGE: 20 HEIGHT*: 5'10" WEIGHT*: 180 RELIGION: Protestantish ~100 WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF: I am an avid reader with an emphasis on Sci-fi, fantasy, and history. My interests are current events, politics, and physical fitness. I work for the government, and am prohibited from most job-related discussion. My most endearing attribute is my ability to witticize. And I do. ~50 WORD DESCRIPTION OF WHAT YOU THINK OPPOSITE SEX WOULD FIND MOST APPEALING ABOUT YOU: I have been told that I'm a "great listener." It seems that all one has to do is listen, and a problem becomes less than it seemed to be. ONE INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOU: My paternal ancestor, name forgotten (by me at least), was the main gunpowder supplier to the Continental Armies. They won.
CODE NAME: The Artsy Atheist (Bachelor #5) AGE: 22 HEIGHT*: 5'11" WEIGHT*: ~150 RELIGION: Atheist ~100 WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF: Hey ladies, don't look now, but I'm tall, dark, and questionable! I'm a Leo, and if that doesn't mean anything to you either, then we'll get along famously. Down to the nitty-gritty: I love cartoons, and comic books, but hate capes. I love the stars, and beaches, and nature in general, and feel guilty when I throw my cigarette butts on the ground. I give change to the homeless, but the quarters I keep for laundry. I love every piece of artwork that I finish, and hate it the entire time I'm making it. I'm beginning to suspect that my natural circadaian rhythm is nocturnal. ~50 WORD DESCRIPTION OF WHAT YOU THINK OPPOSITE SEX WOULD FIND MOST APPEALING ABOUT YOU: You'll love my level-headedness and easygoing nature. When I wear hats, my ears look elfin. I'm a mix of perpetual child and grouchy old man. I once told a girl I thought I was having a midlife crisis, and she said it was "cute." The randomness that spews from my mouth will keep you perpetually entertained. ONE INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOU: Sometimes, I don't scare babies.
~50 WORD DESCRIPTION OF WHAT YOU THINK OPPOSITE SEX WOULD FIND MOST APPEALING ABOUT YOU: I've been told my green eyes are "dreamy".
ONE INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOU: I performed on the 1990 Academy Awards, popping out of a giant present with other choir members, and sang "Somewhere in My Memory," the song nominated from Home Alone.
CODE NAME: The Dark-eyed Dancer (Bachelor #7) Hair: Dark Brown Eyes: Dark Brown Age: 26 Height: 6'3" Weight: 250lbs Religion: Mormon - I'm cool with other religions as long as they're cool with mine.
Describe myself: I have a flowing personality. I usually fit well in any situation and get along well with just about everyone. I enjoy the sciences and the arts, and can be analytical and philosophical at the same time.
What the opposite sex would find attractive: I am tall, dark, AND handsome. Really. I am. And I know how to dance. I don't mean like break dancing or anything like that. I mean the romantic, ballroom stuff that they always show in movies.
One interesting fact: I once went to the emergency room 3 times in one week, for completely different reasons. (No, I'm not accident prone)
GIRLS! E-mail me your top 3 picks! <--TOP 3! TOP 3! Not just one!
Edit: Yep, I'm a step ahead of ya, Lyr.

DISCLAIMER: Participants, please don't take this too seriously. At the end, each of our lucky bachelorettes will be choosing only one bachelor - do not feel bad if you are not one of the chosen! With only two bachelorettes playing, it's more a matter of personal preference and compatability than a measure of objective attractiveness.

Round 1 - The Flame-haired Israeli Princess! (Bachelorette #1)
Playing for her affects are:
The Chiseled Child-Lover (Bachelor #3)
The Verbose Vision (Bachelor #6)
and The Historian Heartthrob (Bachelor #1)!
The Next Step: Bachelorette #1, please send me three questions you'd like to ask of these dreamboats. Bachelors, send me ONE question you'd like to ask the Bachelorette! Keep in mind that your answers WILL be public!
Those of you who have not responded, step on it!

In my opinion, Raia will win ! She is the most beautiful bachelorette.

Teehee. erosomniac said "dreamboat."
That is so my favorite word.

Anyone else find it amusing that eros, the host of this shindig, is also the Greek god of sex and lust?
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
That's why most of us call him Ero instead of Eros.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
nah, eros is more fun.

Awww, Choobak!!
You darling!

Round 1 has BEGUN!
If the lovely Vanna pH would escort our boy bachelors onto the stage, we'll begin...
Bachelorette: BACHELORS What are your career goals?
Bachelors, please submit your answers ASAP, and your host, erosayjak will hopefully stay more on the ball from here on out!

We're still waiting on one of the bachelors to submit their question. Step on it, buddy!
Posted by Choobak (Member # 7083) on :
Hello, RaIa ! Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Shouldn't they all be answering the same questions so the bachelorette can compare and contrast?
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
*sigh* You and your logic, Lyrhawn.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Sorry! That's how they did it on the original game show.
Posted by password (Member # 9105) on :
Actually they didn't... she could ask whatever questions of whichever bachelors...
however bachelorettes often would say "bachelor #2, same question..." and thus get the same question answered by multiple bachelors.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
The Flame-Haired Israeli Princess: What are your career goals?
The Historian Heartthrob: In the short term, I want to be a teacher. Eventually I think I might want to be a professor, teaching at the university level, and depending on how things go, I might even try to do some research on either the Fall of Sparta or the Teddy Roosevelt presidency.
During my academic career, I plan to devote a lot of time to writing too, and after my academic career, I plan to devote extensive amounts of time to getting published. I WILL get published. I also expect that at some point in my career I'll have to put it on hold for family, as I am perfectly willing to put my career on hold to raise kids while my wife works (assuming she'd want to do that), I'd let her have the option.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
The Flame-Haired Israeli Princess: What are your career goals?
The Chiseled Child-Lover: My goal is to become a Child Psychologist. I have already recieved my Bachelors degree in Business, and once I have my degree in Psychology I will go into business for myself in Tuscon, AZ.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
The Flame-Haired Israeli Princess: What's your idea of a fun/romantic afternoon with me?
The Verbose Vision: I think it would be a good time to go mini golfing, then some go carts, grab some fresh fish at the pier and then watch the sun set over the water.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
The first round of questions is over! What intriguing answers! Our Bachelorette is starting to get to know these bashful boys a little better, but she's starving for more information!
Bachelors, we're going to try something new for the second round. Our lovely bachelorette has several questions she'd like to have answered, so pick ONE from the following list, and answer it (avoiding, obviously, any question you've answered already). Submit your answers via e-mail!
Questions:
1) What are your career goals? 2) What's your idea of a fun/romantic afternoon if spent with me? 3) What do you expect out of a potential relationship? 4) What TV shows/sports/movies/music are your favorites? 5) Do you like animals, and if so, what kinds? 6) What is your favorite thing to do in your spare time? 7) Do you like Disney movies? What's your favorite, and why?

That's just what I was thinking..
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
The Flame-Haired Israeli Princess: What's your idea of a fun/romantic afternoon with me?
The Chiseled Child-Lover: Well we would start off the evening by going out to dinner at a place of your choosing. We would then go to see the movie you picked out.
After the show I would take you on a long walk down the beach, were we would talk and laugh about each others past. I would then take you to my favorite part of the beach were we would relax and sip wine by the moonlight and candles.
We would talk of many things until you were ready for me to walk you home. I would then politly say goodnight and smile as I walked away knowing that yu would have that much more respect for me for not pressing you into a kiss.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Wine? She's under 21! Enabler.

Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
The Flame-Haired Israeli Princess: 4) What TV shows/sports/movies/music are your favorites?
The Verbose Vision: I love music and listen to it ALL the time (my phone is an MP3 player). I think it is important to surround yourself with positive energy, music that is harmonic, and beautiful with compelling lyrics. My favorite artists are: Duncan Sheik, U2, Coldplay, Dashboard Confessional, Counting Crows, Incubus, John Mayer, Frou Frou and many others.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
The Flame-Haired Israeli Princess: Do you like Disney movies? What's your favorite, and why?
The Historian Heartthrob: I love Disney movies, but picking just one is impossible, I'll have to do my top three. Emperor's New Groove is by far the best, who doesn't love Kronk? The sequel was a bit of a ripoff of the first movie, but still, amusing.
Mulan is also a great movie. Good music, good story, good voice acting. Mushu is just hilarious. "Dishonor! Dishonor on you, dishonor on your family, dishonor on your cow!"
Pocohontas was good, and I really liked the soundtrack from it, but I don't know if it really gets into the to three. It's hard with the other ones, they are all so great, but the classics didn't have the comedy angle of say, Aladdin (which was fantastic), they were all about good music and story. Beauty and the Beast and the Little Mermaid were the best at story and music. Utterly fantastic.
Just my two cents. Go Disney!
Posted by Juxtapose (Member # 8837) on :
No Lion King!?
For shame!
Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :
Beauty and the Beast Aladdin Mulan
That's the top three, end of story.
Posted by Celaeno (Member # 8562) on :
I'd say...
The Little Mermaid The Emperor's New Groove Mulan
...and all for very different reasons.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
I immediately disqualify any top 3 disney movie list that does not include The Emperor's New Groove and at least one version of Fantasia.
erosayjak has spoken.
Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :
I forgot Emperor's New Groove (which, given that I watched it last week, is a bit ridiculous), and I'd like to modify my list as such:
Beauty and the Beast Emperor's New Groove Mulan
Posted by jennabean (Member # 8590) on :
Emperor's New Groove doesn't even make my top ten. WHAT in that movie was cute? Is cute not the most essential element in a Disney movie?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I thought adorable minor characters with a comedic bent was the most essential element. A la, Mushu in Mulan, Abu/Genie/Iago in Aladdin, Meeko and Flit in Pocohontas, Kronk in Emperor's New Groove, Flounder and Sebastian in Little Mermaid, Cogsworth/Lumiere in B&tB... so on and so forth.
Posted by clod (Member # 9084) on :
Is this something one can jump into?
Posted by jennabean (Member # 8590) on :
Exactly, Lyrhawn! The songs were pretty key too. I really liked The Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack and playing the songs on the piano.

Bachelors! You've suffered through long waits, rigorous questioning and incompetence on the part of your host, but now it's YOUR turn to ask our beautiful bachelorette some questions of your own! They say turnabout is fair play, so...
The Verbose Vision: Tell me about the most interesting place you lived?
The Historian Heartthrob: Where do you see yourself in 10 years, and what kind of man do you see yourself with?
The Chiseled Child-Lover: What are you looking for in a relationship?
Flame-Haired Israeli Princess, answer these questions and we will move on to the final phase!
Posted by Tinros (Member # 8328) on :
I'm sorry, but does the name "Chisled Child Lover" remind anyone else of a pedophile?
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
The Flame-Haired Israeli Princess:
Most interesting place I've lived: Jerusalem, Israel. There are few places in the world that have the amount of history, grandeur and character that Jerusalem does. The first time I lived there I don't remember as well, as it was from when I was born to shortly after that. But I lived there for a year again recently, and it was unbelievable. I would be happy to go on for a very long time, but you can just ask me for details... I will give them.
Where I see myself in 10 years, and with what kind of man: This is a very tough question. I have difficulty answering where I see myself next week! But I will do my best. Though there are really two ways to answer this question.
The way I would LIKE to see myself in 10 years is happily married (or in a happy relationship that will lead to marriage -- 29, after all, is a perfectly acceptable age by which to be married), and working for Disney, doing voice characterization and professional singing in their films. This is after graduate school, but I am always learning, always expanding horizons... I don't think, as long as I live, that I will ever stop learning. I learn just as much outside the classroom as I do in it. My husband/fiance will work in WHATEVER profession he wants to... he mustn't feel that he has to work in order to support the family. We will more than get by between the two of us. He can engage in whatever work captures his interest, but he must let me work as well. He will be kind and loving, but not utterly devoted... I want us to have more of a close romantic friendship than anything. I want to be able to hold a serious conversation, to confide in him, but also to goof off and laugh together about random things that pop into our heads. I want him to occasionally be spontaneous and romantic, to surprise me with beautiful thoughts and gestures that will make me feel... well, like a girl... but I also want him to be dependable, strong and solid. Eventually we will have kids, but probably not yet by that point.
It is, however, very difficult to predict what will happen 10 years from now. It is very presumptuous of me to assign myself a job like that... I would love to be able to sing professionally, but I know how difficult it is. Either way, however, I will be engaging in some sort of musical profession... it is my one true passion. Maybe I'll teach it. Either way, I'll be happy... Mr. Future and I will be happy together. Happiness is really my one main ambition.
What I'm looking for in a relationship: I really kind of outlined this already, but I'm looking for a man who can both make me laugh, and make me feel loved. I want passion and romance, but I also want close friendship... loyalty, real love. There has to be a healthy balance between the physical side of the relationship and the rest of it (conversation, stuff that we do together, and so on)... not too much of one or the other. Bear in mind that I'm currently describing the ideal relationship... the one that would potentially lead to something more.

Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
Again, I apologize for the delay.
BACHELORS! You have a final, two-fold task before our lovely lady chooses a suitor. Answer one more question from the Flame-Haired Israeli Princess' list of questions and, based on the response you received to your last question, submit another question for her to answer.
Hopefully, the conclusion will come in less than 24 hours!

Umm, who is it that hasn't posted yet? I want to see the show continue!
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
THE SHOW CONTINUES!
The Flame-Haired Israeli Princess: What do you expect out of a potential relationship?
The Historian Heartthrob:I don't know what I expect really. I'd assume that a relationship would be a good time for both of us. We'd be there for each other emotionally, to support each other, and to make each other laugh. We'd play board games on cold winter nights and drink hot chocolate with Frank Sinatra playing in the background, and go camping in the summer and hit the zoo and have a picnic. It'd be about enjoying each other's company, and being a solid emotional pillar in each other's lives.
I'd try to be as romantic as possible a lot of the time, buying little thoughtful gifts and sending notes and things here and there to let you know how special you are.
But the majority of the relationship would be a celebration of a mutual trust and understanding, mutual support, love and taking joy in each other.
My question for you, Bachelorette, is: What is your stance on long distance relationships?
The Flame-Haired Israeli Princess: What do you expect out of a potential relationship?
The Chiseled Child-Lover:I try never to expect too much in any new relationship. But I am looking for someone who shares at least some of my interests, like my varitey show comedy I do several times a month at a theater I work at. I think I am looking for someone who would be willing to participate in some of my favorite activities like snowboarding, my varitey show comedy I do several times a month, hiking, and thats about it. I am not hoping for anyone who wants to do all of these things I would enjoy doing even one of these activities together. But I just want someone who I can listen to talk about her day, let me protect her from anything that I can, let me comfort her when she needs it, and let me be by her side.
The Flame-Haired Israeli Princess: Do you like animals, and if so, what kinds?
The Verbose Vision: I love pretty much all animals (petted a bear and a wolf once while working at a wild life preserve). I grew up with a pair of sibling dogs, Molly & Max. They were half basset hound, half Labrador retriever. We got them when they were three and they lived to be about 14. Right now my mom has my cat, and his sister cat, Ender and Valentine. We rescued them from our neighbor who was going to drown them and 5 of their litter mates. Ender is 15 lbs and none of it fat, he's a massive black cat. He's 11 now, still spry, but smart enough not to get into fights anymore. He's friendly and vocal and intelligent and the bestest kitty in the whole world!
Tell me, Princess, what is the most important trait you are looking for in a mate?
In the interest of time, however, we're going to refrain from forcing the poor, patient Bachelorette to answer another round of questions, preferring instead to move on to...
THE FINALE!
Three Bachelors. One Bachelorette. Five thousand cameras. Who will die first? Which of these fine bachelors is secretly gay*? Do they know that the Flame-Haired Israeli Princess is really carrying the shogun's baby? WHAT IS GOING ON?
All this and more next time, where we reveal a HIGHLY SURPRISING, UNANTICIPATED TWIST!**
*Not really. **Twist not included.

Not for a while. Eros gave up Hatcrack for lent.
Maybe if you ask Lyrhawn very very nicely he'll take it over.
Use candy.

I say just start a new thread. This one has taken too long.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
I'd vote for starting anew, this time WITHOUT the titles. Because it's pretty obvious who each participant is, which defeats the "game" part of the game. Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

First round worked out pretty well for me .
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Heh... the Flame-Haired Israeli Princess got tired of waiting for the host to hook her up with the Historian Heartthrob... she went ahead and arranged it herself.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
I was too busy, and by the time I was unbusy, these two had gone ahead and taken care of it for me. ^_^
