I don't know. Rent hits a lot of people different ways. A lot of people see them as self-absorbed, selfish people who just want to get out of paying their rent, but a lot of other people see them differently.

The only really self-absorbed one, IMO, is Maureen. But that's the point of her character, lol.

And. It's not so much that they don't want to pay their rent as that Benny stiffed them on their agreement. So.

I knew what it meant. I can't see the word without thinking of one of my biology TA's in college... she claimed she was a "streamologist," because she was an ichthyologist who only did research on fish in streams. She was dead serious.

Lol, being a streamologist is only about half a step up from being an Ick Theologist.

a renthead on principle? have'nt you kinda mised the point there?

(or did you mean rentbo....sorry, bites tongue....)

and just how does a 16 year old sprog get to be the voice of truth?

I'd probably take offense if I understood that...

Because I said so. x.x Also because I like pronouncing 'voix de vérité'.

*shrugs* take offence if you like - it's your choice.

(lesson number one. You cannot be offended - you can only take offence)


Thanks the Lord the Internet is silent....... *shudders* at the thought of 'voix de verite' in mid-west accent...

Hey now. I have a passable French accent, if I try. I'm not like the other kids in my french class who try to americanize the language.

'Pardanez-mwah, silver-plates', anyone?

mmmm..... didn't you just 'americanise' English? How well is will 'la franzoire' fare?

Yeah, sure, the principle of Rent as just a buncha queer (or at least seemingly queer) people hanging out, doing art, and singing to eachother about having AIDS, is kinda cool, cause I love queer people (and since I'm sure you didnt read it on one of the other threads, I'm bi), but I just dont like the way they all have that 'we try as hard as we can to be different in the same way as eachother' vibe. For me, at least. They just seem like theyre trying way too hard to be weir... i mean, uh, 'bohemian'.

Maybe you could start a thread about fish and shit can this one.

Welcome.

Hm. Well, I heart Rent. Doesn't mean you have to. I probably just like it more cause I have the whole Jonathan Larson story behind it.

I would totally start a thread about fish if anyone cared... lol

Welcome!
so are you into anadromy like our bud Ibram?

:wink:

Cleveland, huh? I wasted the best four years of my life in that hell-hole. Well, I did get a degree out of it, but the rest was a waste. Oh, and a husband. But boy, was I glad to get back to Jersey!*

* Bet you thought you'd never hear that sentence.

Ah but aren't you in the second-best* section of New Jersey? The 10-15 miles that separate metropolitan Philly from metropolitan New York?

If they finally pave that section over, it's all one big city, from then on. Call it New Phork, or something.

*best is the southern shore from Ocean City to Cape May. They say there is a nice section of NJ in the north as well, but that's just rumor.

Our World
 

Well, vrai, if you're a "scientist," you would know that we all came from the sea originally. It's just as much "our" world as any other part, dry or wet.

Oh yeah, welcome BTW.

I love seafood, but I have a problem with prawn farming and fish "farming" in general.

Cleveland? Maybe you can go scuba diving in Lake Erie.:neutral:
