Why I Can Never Watch Another Carole Lombard Film.
At the request of my Golden Age pal, the Dizzy Dame Carole Irene, I have been making a BIG effort to appreciate William Powell.
I don’t know what it is about him, but I just don’t like him much. Something about him really bugs me. Ok, so he was really good in the “Philo Vance” series and was…passable…in the “Thin Man” series (I wish they would have cast Cary Grant in the Nick Charles role), but I just cannot see his appeal! I mean, he was a great actor, but I just don’t like him!
Anyways, in an attempt to appease D.D.C.I, today I watched “My Man Godfrey”. One of my many sins is that I have had this DVD sitting on my shelf for 3 years now but have never watched it.
(Get a load of William Powell! Egghead Extraordinaire!)
I thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly because Eugene Pallette was in it and he is always a treat. He’s such an old grump, with his pot belly and his gravelly voice. Kind of like my grandfather minus a foot in height.
I’m sorry Li’l C.I., I still haven’t been won over to William Powell.
What I DID find was that I found Carole Lombard INCREDIBLY attractive. I mean, I’d seen her before in No Man Of Her Own, Mr & Mrs Smith and To Be Or Not To Be, but I’d never really been struck by her beauty.
Boy, how that changed!
But then I thought “hold on, she was the love of Gabe’s life! Gabe is my idol!”. I fell into deep contemplation. How could I be attracted to Gabe’s true love?! Gabe, who has bought me hours of entertainment and inspired me in pretty much everything!
I realize how ridiculous this sounds, both Gabe and Carole are no longer with us, but I couldn’t shake this feeling of betrayal of coveting the love of my idol!
So Gabe, the (FAR) better man has won! I will bow out gracefully and never ever watch another Carole Lombard film for as long as I live!
Freewheelin' Pilgrim 
What’s the matter with you? Don’t quit on Lombard! She’s my favorite actress, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to quit liking Gabe!!!

Maybe I will try to stem my passion 😛
I haven’t got any other Carole films though 😦
Mark
March 3, 2011 at 2:34 am
You should try to see her in True Confession. Or We’re Not Dressing, which also has George Burns and Gracie Allen!
Carole Irene
March 3, 2011 at 5:43 am
*races to grandpa’s to see if he has either of these*
Mark
March 3, 2011 at 11:35 am
Did he have them?
Carole Irene
March 3, 2011 at 12:42 pm
He isn’t home 😦
Mark
March 3, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Is he home now?
Carole Irene
March 4, 2011 at 1:48 am
Yes 😀 but he didn’t have either of them 😦
Mark
March 4, 2011 at 10:00 am
Awww 😦 I think they’re on YouTube though, you can check there
Carole Irene
March 4, 2011 at 11:03 am
😀 😀 😀
Mark
March 4, 2011 at 2:06 pm
It’s annoying, but better than nothing!
Carole Irene
March 4, 2011 at 4:00 pm
I’ve watched a few movies on the ol’ YouTube. “The Jazz Singer” (BEFORE THEY TOOK IT OFF!), “Faust” and “The Man Who Laughs”.
😀
MarkGable
March 4, 2011 at 7:26 pm
i love The Jazz Singer!!! 😀
Carole Irene
March 5, 2011 at 12:39 am
It’s so quaint! “Singing the raggy time songs!” Gramps and I watched it the other day 🙂
Mark
March 5, 2011 at 12:43 am
Isn’t it adorable? I love Al Jolson 😀
Carole Irene
March 5, 2011 at 5:15 am
Me too! I once found a cd of his in Sanity (a music store tee hee) when I was with my friends. I got so excited and they all laughed at me 😦 but I don’t care coz they’ll never know the joy of Toot-Toot Tootsie 😀
Mark
March 5, 2011 at 9:32 am
I once sang “I’m Sittin’ On Top Of The World” for a friend and she loved it! But she forgot about it the next day 😦 You’re right, they don’t know joy!
Carole Irene
March 5, 2011 at 9:51 am
*snaps fingers and taps toes to your cover*
Mark
March 5, 2011 at 10:39 am
I also like “April Showers” by him. It’s slow, but nice.
Carole Irene
March 5, 2011 at 11:12 am
Thouuuuugh April shoooowers may come your waaaaaay
They bring the flooowers that bloooom in Maaaaay
😀
Mark
March 5, 2011 at 12:44 pm
So if it’s rainiiiiing, have no regreeeeets,
Because it isn’t raining rain you know,
It’s raining viiiooolets

😀 *does the Charleston*
Mark
March 5, 2011 at 4:40 pm
*charlestons along with you* I’m an April shower, you are a May flower 😉
Carole Irene
March 5, 2011 at 9:18 pm
I am 😀 I was born in May 🙂 May 23rd, same as Doug Fairbanks Sr and Artie Shaw 🙂
Mark
March 5, 2011 at 10:52 pm
Ooh, nice!!! Let’s see…born on April 1st are Wallace Beery (ew) Lon Chaney (COOL) Jane Powell (also cool, but not as cool as Lon Chaney) and Debbie Reynolds (cool too) 🙂 and Otto Von Bismarck, who unified Germany in the 1800s 😛
Carole Irene
March 6, 2011 at 1:18 am
Wallace Beery is cool!
April 1st is my parents’ wedding anniversary!
Mark
March 6, 2011 at 1:35 am
He was mean to Gabe, and I always side with my man!
That’s really cute! It’s also April Fools Day, which stinks a heck of a lot 😦
Carole Irene
March 6, 2011 at 4:44 am
Oh! I’d forgotten about that! Wasn’t it on “China Seas”?
Happy Birthday Peach! APRIL FOOLS 😉
Mark
March 6, 2011 at 9:31 am
Yes it was. I just wrote about it on my blog 😀
FUNNAAAYYYY. Don’t even think of tricking me on my birthday!
Carole Irene
March 6, 2011 at 10:26 am
🙂 🙂 I must read it!
Of course not…;)
Mark
March 6, 2011 at 7:05 pm
*sigh* Why did I ever tell you my birthday?
Carole Irene
March 7, 2011 at 2:23 am
Because we’re pals 🙂
Mark
March 7, 2011 at 2:35 am
Yes. But now you’re going to trick me, along with everyone else!
Carole Irene
March 7, 2011 at 4:21 am
You’re forgetting the time difference 🙂 I couldn’t trick you even if I wanted to!
Mark
March 7, 2011 at 7:20 am
True…you’re a full day ahead! It’s still gonna be March 31st here when it’s April 1st in Tasmania, and when it’s April 1st here it’s April 2nd where you are! You miss my birthday entirely! That’s sad, and good because of no tricks!
Carole Irene
March 7, 2011 at 8:00 am
I could get you bright and early, but I won’t 🙂
PS- I just got asked if I had a spare cigarette by a woman with a baby. I said I did but I wouldn’t give her one because of the baby. So I got called a faggot and told to “fuck back to where I came from”. Haw!
Mark
March 7, 2011 at 4:40 pm
How despicable! Don’t worry about it, you did the right thing. Stupid bitch should be put in jail!
Carole Irene
March 8, 2011 at 3:23 am
She was as stupid as she was ugly if she thought I’d give her any cigarettes while she was with a tiny little baby!
Mark
March 8, 2011 at 7:46 am
You did the right thing. You saved a life 🙂
Carole Irene
March 8, 2011 at 10:20 am
*strikes heroic pose*
Mark
March 8, 2011 at 11:06 am
I wonder, when I meet you, you would actually go around posing like that 😉
Carole Irene
March 8, 2011 at 12:21 pm
Well it depends on if I do any heroic deeds!
Mark
March 8, 2011 at 12:57 pm
You’re too much 😉
Carole Irene
March 8, 2011 at 1:30 pm
And then some? 😀
Mark
March 8, 2011 at 4:42 pm
Yes! Haha 🙂 you’re the best.
Carole Irene
March 8, 2011 at 6:02 pm
Well I only keep company with the best 🙂
Speaking of, you’ve spoilt me haha. I went to the library today to have a debate with a friend and I was actually bored and wished he’d go away so I could get my phone out to check to see if there were any comments from you!
Mark
March 8, 2011 at 6:52 pm
Aww now I feel bad, I know you love a good debate! I’ll have to downplay my comments from now on 😉
Carole Irene
March 8, 2011 at 11:29 pm
No D: in-person interaction is only what I do in between virtual-CI interaction!!!
I only like debating atheists 😉
Mark
March 9, 2011 at 1:56 am
Haha I’m taking over your life! And your happy face is backwards.
Keep debating them atheists!!!! 😉
Carole Irene
March 9, 2011 at 4:47 am
I just recently did a post on Lombard–love her! But must admit to also loving Powell.
Christine@TheFiveSenses
March 9, 2011 at 6:52 am
Sorry I didn’t reply sooner 😦 I don’t check my emails enough 😦
I don’t know what it is about Powell that irritates me so!!!
Mark
March 12, 2011 at 10:48 pm
Bah, what life 😦 people only want to see me as a last resort 😦 😦
I will 😀
Mark
March 9, 2011 at 12:45 pm
No! No no no darling! You’re not my last resort! Those idiots don’t know who they’re missing out on. If it makes you feel any better, I’m in the same position. My friends only talk to me in school, but they never want me to hang out with them. I think they only deal with me because I’m “the smart one” who can tell them what’s the homework when they forget. You’re simply marvelous. Don’t let them dingbats get you down!!!
Carole Irene
March 9, 2011 at 3:24 pm
*blushes and hugs you* :’)
Mark
March 9, 2011 at 3:43 pm
*gives you a friendly tap on the nose*
Carole Irene
March 9, 2011 at 11:13 pm
😮 *recoils*
Mark
March 9, 2011 at 11:57 pm
Aww goodness I’m sorry 😦
Carole Irene
March 10, 2011 at 1:34 am
YES! A POINT FOR ME! *hugs*
Mark
March 10, 2011 at 2:36 am
*pushes you off*
Carole Irene

Niiice job! 🙂
Carole Irene

*has the reflexes of a lion*
Mark
March 11, 2011 at 12:35 am
You do! 😀
Carole Irene
March 11, 2011 at 8:54 am
^_^ *growls like MGM lion* hehehe
Mark
March 11, 2011 at 3:15 pm
Id you lived in classic Hollywood, you would’ve been MGM’s mascot instead of Leo the Lion! 🙂
Carole Irene
March 12, 2011 at 4:01 am
😀 CUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!!!!
Mark
March 12, 2011 at 11:57 am
I don’t really understand what was so cute about that, but I’ll take it! 😀
Carole Irene
March 12, 2011 at 12:59 pm
You could just sit there normally and I’d find something cute about it 😀
Mark
March 12, 2011 at 2:43 pm
Perhaps it’s because I usually think so hard and get deep into my Dreamland. Or maybe it’s just my long, sooty lashes 😉
Carole Irene
March 12, 2011 at 5:05 pm
😀 I remember you told me you had Crawford eyes! Amazing!
Mark
March 12, 2011 at 6:32 pm
They’re the same size and shape, but they’re an ugly brown 😦 😦 I wish I had green eyes. My mommy has green eyes, so I was close to having them, but NOOO…
Carole Irene
March 13, 2011 at 4:28 am
Brown are exotic 🙂
I have stupid colored eyes 😦
Mark
March 13, 2011 at 4:56 am
They’re dark so you can never tell what is going on behind them 😦
Your eyes aren’t stupid! They’re blue-grey, like Gabe’s!
Carole Irene
March 13, 2011 at 5:24 am
Isn’t that a good thing?
But they can’t seem to make up their mind 😦 blue or grey!
Mark
March 13, 2011 at 12:35 pm
No, I like seeing the feelings in people’s eyes!
That’s so beautiful, and exactly what’s so great about your eyes! Can you imagine having just one flat, dull color? Boring! You must have all of these wonderful shades and tones in them…that’s why I like light eyes. They’re so expressive.
Carole Irene
March 13, 2011 at 12:56 pm
But would you like to be read 😉 you’re an enigma!
*opens eyes wide and gazes into yours* you can read me if you like!
Mark
March 13, 2011 at 7:48 pm
Hmm…you’re right…I wouldn’t. I’m an enigma to everyone, even those who’ve known me for a while. And I like to keep it that way 😉
I will when I see you 😉
Carole Irene
March 14, 2011 at 2:23 am
1. Little femme fatale!
2. I look forward to it 😉
Mark
March 14, 2011 at 1:18 pm
1. Femme Fatale? Ha!
2. You’ll look forward to being read? 😉
Carole Irene
March 15, 2011 at 5:13 am
1. Luring me to Brooklyn so a group of international jewell thieves can kidnap me for ransom!
2. I’ll be interested to see what you discover 😉
Mark
March 15, 2011 at 10:19 am
1. Say, I’m not luring you here!
2. Hiding a secret? 😉
Carole Irene
March 15, 2011 at 12:44 pm
1. I know, but you may be if you were a femme fatale 😉
2. 😉
Mark
March 15, 2011 at 4:22 pm
1. I wish I was a femme fatale!
2. OOOOOH 😉
Carole Irene
March 16, 2011 at 12:41 am
1. Could I be the sucker you take for a ride?
2. You’ll never know 😉
Mark
March 16, 2011 at 1:08 am
1. Gosh, I won’t take you for a ride!
2. *trying to battle my feminine instincts which are telling me to beg you to spill the beans*
Carole Irene
March 16, 2011 at 6:23 am
1. Femme Fatale you might 😉
2. Ask and you shall receive 😉
Mark
March 16, 2011 at 6:42 am
1.*rolls eyes and storms out*
2.*practically shouting in your face* TELL MEEEE!
Carole Irene
March 16, 2011 at 9:58 am
1. *feels bad and runs after you*
2. Well, my deep, dark secret is….. I once dated a Ginger kid 😦
Mark
March 16, 2011 at 11:28 am
1. Betcha can’t catch me!!!
2. Heyy that’s no secret! You told me that before! You told me you used to call her Annie and it would make her angry. That doesn’t count, you said it before. Give me another secret!
Carole Irene
March 16, 2011 at 1:18 pm
1. *chases* 😀
2. Haha I know 😛 I thought I’d throw you off the trail 😉 I do have a secret though and I want to tell you but I’m not sure what you’d think 😦 when I’ve told other friends they’ve reacted…differently.
Mark
March 16, 2011 at 2:50 pm
1.*hides*
2. You can tell me anything. I won’t judge you.
Carole Irene
March 16, 2011 at 11:36 pm
1. *seeks* 😀
2. Ok…I suffer from depression.
Mark
March 16, 2011 at 11:53 pm
1. Try to find me!
2. Aw sweetheart 😦 many people do, especially in this day and age. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. As long as you have supportive people with you, and that you are taking good care of yourself, I’m sure you’ll be able to combat it. I myself suffer from rotten self-esteem. I hate myself. It was so bad that at one point I was suicidal. But I’m starting to get over it now with classic movies. Honey, I want you to know that you are very special, and that you shouldn’t be affected by what others do or have done. Do what you know is right, and to hell with everyone else.
Carole Irene
March 17, 2011 at 12:38 am
1. *searches behind the curtains*
2. :’) *throws my arms around you and pulls you close* please don’t hate yourself li’l darling. I think you’re the best person I’ve ever had the privilege to talk to. I love staying awake as long as I can just so I can keep talking to you for as long as possible. As soon as I wake up I check for comments from you and I only let myself drift off to sleep when there are no new ones. You’re so much better than anyone I’ve ever met *kisses head*
Mark
March 17, 2011 at 1:24 am
1. Try again! 😉
2. I’m quite touched, but I don’t want you to become a zombie on my account! 😉
Carole Irene
March 17, 2011 at 4:56 am
1. *searches in the closet*
2. It’s ok 🙂 I sleep during the day 🙂 like a vampire 🙂
Mark
March 17, 2011 at 5:38 am
1. Try again! 😉
2. Dear God, you are nocturnal! 🙂 still, I don’t want to affect your lifestyle negatively or anything 🙂 I’ll understand if you answer when it is convenient for you!
Carole Irene
March 17, 2011 at 6:52 am
1. *searches beneath bed*
2. Carole Irene…Lifestyle…Negative…they can’t be in the same sentence. Impossible.
Mark
March 17, 2011 at 10:51 am
1. Aww fiddlesticks you found me!
2. If you say so…
Carole Irene
March 17, 2011 at 11:34 am
1. Hooray! Hooray! Can I hide now?
2. *nods sagely* I say so 🙂
Mark
March 17, 2011 at 2:03 pm
1. Hide! Hide!
2. Alright oh wise one 😉
Carole Irene
March 17, 2011 at 10:47 pm
1. *hides, giggling*
2. 🙂 hehehe I will have to buy property atop a mountain 😉
Mark
March 17, 2011 at 11:43 pm
1. In a closet?
2. Build a teepee there or something 😉
Carole Irene
March 18, 2011 at 3:57 am
1. Nope *wonders what you’re implying!*
2. Yes! 😀 People will seek me from far and wide!
Mark
March 18, 2011 at 6:30 am
1. What the hell, lug? Behind the sofa?
2. You will be featured in those made for TV Scooby Doo movies! They always meet some wise figure in them 🙂
Carole Irene
March 18, 2011 at 8:14 am
1. Hiding in the closet!
1a. Nope! *you hear a soft giggle from behind the curtains*
2. I’ll be the cranky old prospector who aids them in uncovering the mystery of the Goldmine Ghost!
Mark
March 18, 2011 at 4:55 pm
1. This is an innocent game of hide and seek, not seven minutes in heaven!
1a.*runs after curtains* FOUND YA!
2. Is this another story brewing? 😉
Carole Irene
March 18, 2011 at 10:31 pm
1. I meant are you implying that I’m a closeted homosexual hahaha! Seven Minutes In Heaven is a stupid game. I’ve never played it myself but I’ve heard of people who have. I’m fairly certain that the scriptures don’t mention awkward pre-pubescent fumbling as part of the Kingdom of Heaven 😉
1a. 😀 hurray! What will we play now?
2. I wish! I could submit a script to Cartoon Network and become a millionaire!
Mark
March 19, 2011 at 1:28 pm
1. Oh God why would I imply that?! I never played Seven Minutes in Heaven either, and I’ll never understand what’s so heavenly about that experience…or lack thereof 😉
1a. Umm…Simon Says!
2. Why don’t you? You obviously have a knack for storytelling! That story you’re making up on my blog is leaving me breathless for more! It’s easily the best thing I’ve read in a while, and I’m serious!
Carole Irene
March 19, 2011 at 2:12 pm
1. I’ve never played it either. Affection shouldn’t be turned into a game.
1a. Simon Says…stand on one foot!
2. *blushes and cuddles* you’re too wonderful for words!
Mark
March 20, 2011 at 5:52 pm
1. Spin the bottle…blecchhh
1a. Thank God aerobics gave me some balance!
2. You should run the Self-Image Club at my school 🙂
Carole Irene
March 21, 2011 at 1:51 am
1. Ok so I played that one.
1a. Simon Says…clap your hands!
2. The Self-Image Club?
Mark
March 21, 2011 at 3:06 am
1. Yucky! But I’m sure it’s fun for you, coz you get to kiss girls 😉
1a. Yay! Next!
2. Yes hahaha
Carole Irene
March 21, 2011 at 7:07 am
1. Not really haha. It was kind of awkward.
1a. Jump up and down!
2. And what does this club do exactly?
Mark
March 21, 2011 at 7:20 am
1. Oh sure, sure 😉
1a. Hurray! Next!
2. It’s supposed to boost self-esteem, but it is actually nothing but pure hell 😦 It’s easily the dumbest club in the whole school. All what the moderator does is take attendance 😦
Carole Irene
March 21, 2011 at 12:45 pm
1. I love that you think I’m this ladykiller 😛
2. Did you jump? 😉
3. What other clubs are there? 🙂
Mark
March 21, 2011 at 4:02 pm
1. Duh, yes you are! 😛
2. Course I did!
3. I’m also in art club, international club, classic movies club, science club, and school newspaper. Clubs that I’m not in: gaelic society, speech and debate, badminton, math team, God’s earth and creatures, celebrate life, knitting, yearbook, crafts, band and color guard, physics, computer club, and that’s all I remember now 🙂
Carole Irene
March 21, 2011 at 11:34 pm
1. I’m not really 🙂
2. I didn’t say Simon Says 😀
3. Gee whizz, you have tons of clubs! I wasn’t in any (even though there were only about four). I thought they were bogus because the student leaders were given leadership positions in them straightaway. I was firmly against the sort of paradoxical elitist populism of the student council and vocalized it strongly. It made me very unpopular with many of them, like I cared. Apparently they had a meeting with the deputy principal about me.
Mark
March 22, 2011 at 6:10 am
1. Yes!
2. FUCK.
3. What kind of Nazi school did you go to?! They would actually convene to discuss a student because he’s exercising his freedom of speech? God!
Carole Irene
March 22, 2011 at 9:21 am
1. If you say so 😉
2. *giggles everso sweetly*
3. I swear there was a massive conspiracy against me. Teachers were all against me. They accused me of plagiarism, being “lewd” with my then girlfriend while the teacher was out of the room, if I was slightly late for a class, they’d call my mom even when I would always turn up. I even wanted to drop out of one class, but the teacher assured me that I would pass and would get a good deal of points (you get points for the subjects you do in the last two years of high school and each university degree has a minimum amount of points you need to get to enroll in the degree) but when I got my results they failed me.
Everything they accused me of, the plagiarism and the lewd behavior was the most outrageous pack of lies. Even when they put my work through this computer program and it was proved to be my own original work, they didn’t apologize.
Mark
March 22, 2011 at 3:17 pm
1. I know so 😉
2. New game!
3. What. The. Fuck. These people shouldn’t be allowed to teach! How disgusting! It’s wrong, just WRONG to pick on a student for absolutely nothing! They don’t deserve to be teachers 😦
Carole Irene
March 22, 2011 at 11:07 pm
1. 🙂 well then it is so!
2. Green light!
3. *whimpers and cuddles*
Mark
March 23, 2011 at 8:46 am
1. HUZZAH! 😀
2. Oh my God red light green light! 😛
3. I feel so bad for you 😦
Carole Irene
March 23, 2011 at 9:09 am
1. *raises sword* HUZZAH! 😀
2. Green light!
3. 🙂 thank you my lamb. It’s ok now though 🙂
Mark
March 23, 2011 at 12:33 pm
1. All for one and one for all!
2.*runs*
3. It better be! If anyone messes with you, they have me to contend with!
Carole Irene
March 23, 2011 at 10:33 pm
1. I love the Fairbanks version of The Three Musketeers!
2. Red light!
3. You’re my dame in shining satin 😀
Mark
March 24, 2011 at 6:54 am
1. Me too! 😀 I wish Errol Flynn did a version of The Three Musketeers!
2. *stops in mid-run*
3. Haha! You’re my night in shining armor 😉 I want a satin Harlowesque dress for prom. Something simple that looks like it’s made of one piece of satin. Right now, I’m gravitating more towards emerald green 🙂
Carole Irene
March 24, 2011 at 9:17 am
1. It would’ve been brilliant! Errol Flynn as D’Artangnan, Alan Hale (of course!) as Porthos, James Cagney as Athos, Pat O’Brien as Aramis, Basil Rathbone as De Rochefort, Raymond Massey as Cardinal Richelieu, Olivia de Havilland as a love interest for D’Artangnan, Bette Davis as Milady De Winter, Claude Raines as the King, Vivien Leigh as the Queen and Olly as Duke of Buckingham!
2. *turns around* green light!

Mark
March 24, 2011 at 3:21 pm
1. What a dream! You would’ve been an excellent casting director 😉
2.*runs*
3. That would be lovely! How jealous everyone would be at how attractive my surprise date is! But…what if I’m already not going alone? 😉

Mark
March 25, 2011 at 2:22 am
1. You also would’ve made an amazing actor 😀 How is Mutiny?
2.*stops*
3. If you crashed my prom, it would be a dream! I probably would be banned from graduation, but who cares? Save me from being locked away with guidos, gangstas, and hipsters! (Seriously. Once we get into the place, we aren’t allowed to leave until midnight, when it’s over!) But I’m going alone, so you wouldn’t have to fake sample punch 😉

1. *blushes fuuuuriously* 🙂
1a. All is well 🙂 3 weeks 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Mark
March 25, 2011 at 8:12 am
1. Haha you’re so cute!
1a. Can’t wait! You should send me a photo of yourself in costume 🙂 do you have to wear a ponytail? 😉
1b. Never! I just don’t want to bug you about it or anything
2. Yeah it’s not so fun. We should play MASH 😉
3. How romantic! Boy would everyone be jealous! We wouldn’t be matching eras though 😉 you’d be 1860s, I’d be 1930s 😉
Carole Irene
March 25, 2011 at 10:42 am
1. *kisses cheek*
1a. No thankfully no ponytail!
1b. You could never bug me 🙂
2. What’s MASH? 🙂
3. Hmmm… I suppose I could be Peter Warne and barge in while you were eating, stride over to you, scoop you up, say something romantic, then we’d embrace and run hand-in-hand laughing into the night! 😀
Mark
March 25, 2011 at 4:25 pm
1.*faints in your arms*
1a. Awww man! 😉
1b. If you say so 😉
2. You don’t know what’s M.A.S.H? Mansion Apartment Shack House?! It’s a game that’s supposed to predict your life.

3. I know how to waltz! So I sure would!
Mark
March 26, 2011 at 1:48 pm
1. I’m okay. It’s so cute when you get all worried like that 🙂
1a. Just teasing. Last year my school did a play that took place in the 20s…it was more like The 2010 Trash Version of the 20s
1b. Will you listen?
2. Name some stars! I’m always going for the Gabe 😉 actually, give me two you would marry and two you wouldn’t. There needs to be the shitty life options, I forgot.

1b. I don’t think I’ll be alive by the time I’m 80 😦
2. Gosh… A Ferrari, a 1940 Ford, one of those awful Aztec things, and an Aston Martin.
3. It was a stupid play about two gays and it travelled throughout time. I had a stupid role, pretty much a cameo, considering the play was about 2 hours and my entire role had me on stage for less than 10 minutes 😡
Mark
March 27, 2011 at 5:51 pm
1. *kisses nose* 😉
1a. It made me SO ANGRY. Even Poison Platypus knew enough to hate it with me!
1b. What?! Why ever not? Look at some of these stars! Some did everything and they lived well into their 90s!
2. What are the Aztec things? I’ve never heard of them lmao! Okay…where would you like to live?
3. Can you imagine…being an actor? You’d bring manly back! 😉
Carole Irene
March 27, 2011 at 11:44 pm
2. actually, that should’ve been two places you want to live in and two you don’t want to live in. Also tell me two places you want to go to for your honeymoon and two you don’t, two pets you want and two you don’t, two nice colors for your wedding tux and two ugly ones, and lemme think…I think that’s it. Oh, tell me how many kids you want (two numbers) I’ll take care of how many kids you don’t want 😉

Carole Irene
March 29, 2011 at 1:41 am
Okay here is your life: you’re going to marry Bette Davis in a black tux. You will go on a honeymoon in Egypt, and you will live in an apartment in England. You will be an actor, and drive a ferrari. You will also have a pet lion and have 270 kids lmao 😀
Carole Irene
March 29, 2011 at 6:10 am

2b. 😦 😦 it still looked noble and majestic though 🙂
2c. I like that bit 🙂
2d. Hehehe 😀
3. *blushes blushes blushes*
That sounds great 😀 except the 270 kids lol
Mark
March 29, 2011 at 5:22 pm
1.*kisses yours back*
1a. Everything with her eventually turns into a predicament. She STILL wants to meet you though, no matter how many times I told her you do not want to meet her!!!!
1c. I won’t talk about it again.
2.*snuggles*
2a. I’ll have to email it to you. It’s the longest story ever lmao.
2b. They always do. But it’s sad that they are locked up in zoos 😦
2c. Me too. He’s hot in that part 😉
2d. I really don’t like them! I know it’s cruel and heartless of me, but they annoy the shit out of me!
3. Mr. Man 🙂
It’s okay. You love Bette a lot 😉
Carole Irene
March 29, 2011 at 11:07 pm
1. *kisses yours back*
1a. You didn’t tell her did you?? Oh Carole, you dizzy dame 🙂
1c. You can if you want 🙂
2. *strokes hair*
2a. Does it involve intrigue? 😀
2b. 😦 I cried my eyes out at the zoo when I saw the orangutans.
2c. He could be covered in manure and you’d think he’s hot 😉
2d. I don’t go much on them. They don’t like me much either.
3. *kisses cheek*
I’d still have a tv though!
Mark
March 30, 2011 at 2:22 am
1.*kisses yours back*
1a. Yeah I did lol. She keeps saying she wants to see you and I’m like…”no…he doesn’t want to see you” and she’s like “HUH! WHY?!” because of course everyone should want to meet her! I like telling her. It brings her back down to earth 🙂
1c. Nope!
2.*pats cheek*
2a. No lol! But I don’t think I want to go back there again! It’s such an annoying country!
2b. Aw, you’re so sensitive! 🙂
2c. True lmao. He can be missing an eye and I’d think he’s hot 🙂
3.*faints*
How the heck will you have a tv when you’re busy having 270 kids? 😉
Carole Irene
March 30, 2011 at 4:07 am
1. *kisses yours back*
1a. Maybe I should meet her. Perhaps we’d fall in love 😮
1c. You’re such a sweetheart 🙂
2. *tickles chin*
2a. But the history!!
2b. *won’t tell you that this took place last September*
2c. Anyone looks hot with an eyepatch!
3. *catches*
I’d have the tv as a distraction to stop from making 270 kids!
Mark
March 30, 2011 at 8:14 am
1. *kisses yours back*
1a. Eww hahaha if that happened I’d laugh so hard! But today she made me so angry. One of our friends (actually it’s just her friend, I hate this girl) cheated on her aerobics routine today and wrote it on her hand and she got caught by the gym teacher…and Poison Platypus has the nerve to justify it! When she told me that she got her entire group in trouble, I’m like, “this girl is so fucking retarded!” and she’s like “nooo, you see, she gets really nervous”, and I cut her in and said that it’s not fair, we didn’t cheat, no one is supposed to cheat so why should it be okay for her? “Because she gets nervous”…puh-leez! The girl is on the speech and debate team, shouldn’t she be used to memorizing and performing in front of others for the love of God?! Poison Platypus needs to fuck herself I swear.
1c. *flashes the dimple*
2. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Tickles!
2a. Oh yes the history is rich, no doubt about that. I touched the pyramids 🙂 And rode a camel 🙂
2b. I think it’s cute! You have a good, generous heart 🙂
2c. Even Marie Dressler? 😉
3. Would you carry me? 🙂
I think you’d make one kid…who would end up breaking the tv (he inherited his father’s mischievous nature). Then you’d have no choice but to make 269 more! You can’t escape the M.A.S.H. man.
Carole Irene
March 30, 2011 at 9:33 am
1. *kisses yours back*
1a. *dies laughing* she needs to “fuck herself”! Oh Carole, you’re too much! Hahahahahaha!!!
1c. *with the speed of quicksilver I kiss the dimple*
2. *cuddles the little darling*
2a. You rode a camel?! Was it fun?
2b. You are so lovely I can’t even put it into words 🙂
2c. Except Marie Dressler who’d look like a grotesque pirate wench.
3. Until the end of the world.
There are forces in motion…
Mark
March 30, 2011 at 1:23 pm
1.*kisses yours back*
1a. She does! My God, I don’t know how she’ll do it, but she really needs to!
1c.*flashes it again*
2.*giggles*
2a. No way lmao!
2b.*blushes*
2c. HAHAHAHAHA!!! You’re the one that’s too much!

Mark
March 30, 2011 at 10:29 pm
1.*kisses yours back*
1a. I didn’t see her yet. Hopefully I won’t laugh in her face!
1c.*blushes*
2. Trying to put me to sleep? 🙂
2a. That’s why you should never judge in looks alone 😉
2b. Aw God I’m blushing in piano class!
2c. You like being too much? 😉
3. What are you trying to do…make me faint? 😉
Carole Irene
March 30, 2011 at 11:44 pm
1. *kisses yours back*
1a. Because she needs to fuck herself? 😉
1c. *adores the little dimple*
2. Nope 🙂 I just think you’re cradleable 😀
2a. Camels frighten me shock horror.
2b. Just keep ticklin’ them ivories!
2c. Better than being too little my darling.
3. Well swoon maybe 🙂
Mark
March 31, 2011 at 9:21 am
1.*kisses yours back*
1a. Yes lmao. She hugged me today. Strange.
1c. I said I was blushing, not beaming. But when I do get embarrassed, I tend to chew my lip, and that brings out two OTHER dimples, kind of by the corners of my mouth 🙂 so I actually have three dimples heheheh. One in the normal area and two in a weird area.
2. Do I remind you of a baby? 😉
2a. Hahaha! They ain’t scary, just a very bumpy, shaky and unstable ride 🙂
2b. I spoke to you instead 😉
2c. Good philosophy there lug!
3. You can’t make me you can’t MAKE ME!!!

1a. Tell me about it!!
1c. Yush *blushes*
2. Aww gosh!
2a. Really?

2c. Tee hee 🙂
3. You won’t!!!

1a. She’d be the type of dingbat I’d blow cigarette smoke at >:)

April 3, 2011 at 2:32 pm
1. *kisses yours back*
1a. She’s always spouting useless facts. She fancies herself as a “savant”. Her words, not mine.
1c. What about yours, mister? I think they’re adorable!
2. I like Pete, but not as much as I like Donald! 😀
2a. And they SMELL. Holy Lord, it’s the most wretched smell in the world!
2b. *dances*
