message 901: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Would I be welcomed?


message 902: by [deleted user] (new)

Could there be a reason to which I wouldn't be able to welcome you in?


message 903: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Can I plead the fifth?


message 904: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) Why can't you admit your crimes?


message 905: by [deleted user] (new)

Aren't we all criminals to many crimes?


message 906: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) But who will be bold enough to admit?


message 907: by [deleted user] (new)

If they do what reward will they obtain?


message 908: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) Is it safe to answer with an opportunist in the room?


message 909: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Can you point her out?


message 910: by [deleted user] (new)

How do you know its a she?


message 911: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) If a man joins our group do you think I'll be able to fit my foot in my mouth?


Charlotte (Buried in Books) | 561 comments Aren't there any men in the group already?


message 913: by [deleted user] (new)

How big is your foot?


message 914: by [deleted user] (new)

If there are any boys, Jill, would you mind?


message 915: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) Is there any way my foot can forget such a slanderous, mendacious, misrepresentative, ersatz, fraudulent, and fanciful insult to its perfectly dainty size?


message 916: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) Who doesn't love the word 'ersatz' since The Ersatz Elevator by Lemony Snicket?


message 917: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) Who doesn't dream of men with pickup lines like "Can I buy you a book" rather than a degrading and slimy smile and then something along the lines of "Your place or mine?"
Who wouldn't want a male friend on Romance Readers Reading Challenges when he probably knows all the dirty, best-experience-you'll-ever-have male POV romances?


message 918: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) Is this spamming?


message 919: by [deleted user] (new)

May I ask though, do feet have feelings?


message 920: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) How can feet so perfect not have feelings?


message 921: by [deleted user] (new)

Shall I then go hunt for a male book junkie who spends his nights cuddled up with a good book and a cup of coffee dreaming about finding a woman for himself who resembles the qualities and beauty of every female protagonist in every romance book? Shall I?


message 922: by [deleted user] (new)

So ugly feet do not have feelings?


message 923: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) I want that man as my hubby, but can anyone here claim beauty and badassery on par with his alpha heroines? If so, can I live through you?


message 924: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) How fast can procure a time travelling machine, because I'll have to ask my feet before at-home pedicures?


message 925: by [deleted user] (new)

Isn't it not that you speak the truth but arent there a many people in this world who seek those ficional characters, heroes or heroines and not only seek but want to become them?


message 926: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) May I put it this way? Why would I want to be an independent baddass heroine like Dante Valentine or Revy from Black Lagoon when they're secretly broken inside? Does it make sense to prefer my own independent and sociopathic (as indicated by quiz I took when completely bored) tendencies rather than their independent come-hither danger ones? Why have an awesome and supportive lover when you can have an awesome vibrator?


message 927: by [deleted user] (new)

Isn't it strange how we all fall in love with these badass heroines, as you named, yet in reality we back away from the idea of actually living like them in real life? So why do we think like that in the first place? Is it because we like to get lost in our imagination of living like them in the fantasical, different, unique worlds described in these novels?


message 928: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) How can it be strange when they're so darn lovable?
Why turn to fiction if not to live a different life, even if only for a little while? If there's fantastical, different, and unique worlds to experience, how can you not get lost in them? But how can that be the only reason?
Doesn't death by bullet spray excite you? How can it be that it excites the heroines either? How is it not that they are like us, with more extreme problems than we can ever claim, but facing life's harsh realities all the same? How can you not dream of becoming someone so easy to connect to and do what rational people would do and shy away from the bullet sprays and fire-breathing men (well maybe not the latter)? How can you not despair over the prospect of your laundry bill?


message 929: by [deleted user] (new)

Then what is the purpose of life, if you are so embedded into these fictional characters who lure you into their worlds to either drive you up the wall with rage, laugh until your hearts content or make tears fall upon your cheeks? Why can't we back away from the idea of loving them? Don't we all know that they arent real? But then why is it that we think they are? Can I not think that this is the strange idea of it all?


message 930: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) How can I know the purpose of life when the life I’ve lived has been so short and dreadfully boring? But at the same time, how can the point of life not be to take pleasure where and when you can while also making the best of it? Is reality not harsh with its unfair expectations? Has it not ensured that you will never do a split while shooting out a mafia den, never ram the world’s most dangerous sicko’s head out a glass window as you pump him for info and later single-handedly save your BF’s life, never have a gorgeous and nice man want you for you even if you aren’t the prettiest in the world and have repeatedly insulted him, and never be looked at by a man as anything but a walking vagina? How can it not be fun to play them?
But why do you think we do not know they are not real when their lives are so patently ridiculous that it cannot be possible? If people did think they were real, then how could I not too think the idea strange?


message 931: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) Where did everyone go?


message 932: by [deleted user] (new)

Did they get sick of our instantaneously long passages regarding fictional characters? Or did they become frightened of the fact that we are going to become fictional characters as we know so much about them? But isn't that the fun of games? Isn't it right that we lay back, drink some coffee, read some books and question others questions?


message 933: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) Why can't we enjoy late night chocolate as well?


message 934: by [deleted user] (new)

Who says we cannot?


message 935: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) Which flavor is best?


message 936: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Are you asking everyone? Or just Masoodah?


message 937: by [deleted user] (new)

Isn't late night chocolate, chocolate flavored? How can it be that she is only asking me, Groovy? For sure, can it not be that she is asking you too?


message 938: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Dare I to hope?


message 939: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) If late night chocolate is chocolate flavored, then would morning chocolate be cereal flavored?


message 940: by [deleted user] (new)

Are you talking about Coco-Pops cereal bars? Don't you know that it counts as morning chocolate (with a little bit of solid milk) and it is most certainly cereal flavored?


message 941: by [deleted user] (new)

If you dared to hope, then wouldn't you become hopeful? Dare I say, isn't that a positive way to think?


message 942: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillcomedyjunky) There is a such thing as Coco-Pops cereal bars? How did this escape my notice? How can such hopefulness not be positive, but how can it not be anathema to a cynic such as me?


message 943: by [deleted user] (new)

Have you never heard of them before? Aren't they sold in your country? If I am talking to a cynical human wouldn't their actions influence me and would I also become cynical?


message 944: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee If you become cynical, then would that make you more daring?


message 945: by [deleted user] (new)

Can you not be more right? Wouldn't one love to be cynical just for the thrill? Wouldn't they want to escape from their optimistic lifestyle for a period of time and be brave enough to form their own cynical opinions about various topics which are popularly talked about in the present time?


message 946: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee There are those that have optimistic lifestyles? What????


message 947: by [deleted user] (new)

Have you never seen an optimistic person?


message 948: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Does walking down the red carpet count?


message 949: by Candace (new)

Candace  | 43 comments What normal person has actually walked down the red carpet?


message 950: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee LOL! So, what kind of people are they that walk down that red carpet at least a million times a year?
