Rushmore

[Umbilicus]

anyone want to discuss the greatest movie of all?

[Salami Swami]

I think the girl is hot shit.
What was her name?
Not the teacher.
Also, the part where Bill Murray is playing basketball with the little kids.
Hysterical.

You know that really does remind me of a John Woo movie scene, I can't remember which one, but it has Chow Yun Fat in it, it might be "Killer."

[Umbilicus]

Did you find the page Miss Cross wrote the Coustau quote on? I checked it out from the library and looked and looked for it, but, alas, could not find it. It was really hard too, because I only had the non-widescreen vhs version then.

Oh yeah I found it! I think I might get a blue flair tip and write the qoute in it for kicks.

Although I don't have David Halberstam's The Powers That Be or Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped paperback they were on my mind to get.

One thing I would like to have would be Margaret Yang's flight plan (May make one and post it) and the notebook from Bottle Rocket where Dignan explains his lifelong plans to Anthony.

Obsessive.

Yeah, I was going to write the quote in if I found the page, in her handwriting too. My brother thought I was crazy to try that. I haven't gotten the other two books you mentioned, but have a copy of Kidnapped (not the one in the movie). Margaret Yang's flight plan and Dignan's notebook would be great to have, but nothing would be better than having the portrait of Blume and family that appears in the first shot of Rushmore. I read that Wes has it in his house and is not giving it up. Jason has most of the Max Fischer clothes and has no plans of giving them up either. Do you have the script (published by Faber and Faber)? It's got a great introduction by James L. Brooks and a forward by Wes about his meeting with Pauline Kael.

[Umbilicus]

Lawnwranglers is good, but it hasn't been updated since November of last year. http://www.shootangle.com/rushmore/index2.html is really good.

Did your friend talk to them? If he did, what did they say?

[kamenriderv3]

Those plays that Max created were funny and cool.

[Umbilicus]

My favorite is Out of Sight: "You wanted to tussle, we tussled." Sara Tanaka makes a much better Jennifer Lopez than Jenniver Lopez. Plus, Dirk as Buddy! The Truman Show was a great one too, I crack up everytime I see the paperboy.

[kamenriderv3]

No I didn't even see their mtv stuff. Now I gotta get the Criterion disc. Damn it. You guys are making me spend more money.

hey frogbelly,
was just wondering where you got your copy of "diving for sunken treasure"? i am trying to get my hands on a copy and need some advice. i saw there were several available online second-hand, but i'm not sure what edition it is, so could you let me know which is the right one?

thanks so much!

oh, and there's a really awesome rushmore site here for those who haven't seen it:

http://www.shootangle.com/rushmore/index2.html

check it out. it's very comprehensive and worth taking a look if you're a fan of the movie

[parka]

hey frogbelly.
thanks for the advice. i am hoping they ship outside the US, and i will start bidding immediately! it's worth the effort, right right?

[Old_Skool_Yukio_Mishima]

Ah Rushmore, Yukio enjoys good Japanese plays but Rushmore touched a nerve. Poor misunderstood boy with such great passion. Yukio's favorite scene was a whiskey drinking Bill Murray giving up his soul and diving into the pool at his sons birthday party. A true Ronin in spirit, looking for some grade school teaching ass!

[herrokitty]

i like the scene where max and that little dennis the menace kid are at the airfield flying a kite, and margaret appears in the scarf. the exchange regarding the her science project being fake was really cool.

"i like your nurse's outfit guy."
"actually, these are OR scrubs."
" O R they?"
hahaah.

that movie is so rich. mmm.

i just watched it three times in the past three days. yay.

[YelloKitty]

so weird, cus i was browsing through and i was thinking about starting a rushmore thread.

i just saw it again for the millionth time the other day, and it gets better and better each time. i totally think the scene where max gets out of the elevator is thee best shot ever in the history of filmmaking. hehe.

i dont think anyone has commented on this, but the soundtrack is fucking awesome... i read an interview on wes, and he said he wanted max to be in a suit cus it reminded him of the kinks. aww!

does anyone have any info on the new wes movie? i heard bill murray is going to be in it!

[Edited by YelloKitty on 05-31-2001 at 05:43 PM]

[Umbilicus]

for info, try http://tenenbaums.shootangle.com , the first rt fan site, a division of the rushmore academy. also, rushmore does get better with each viewing, and can be alternatively sad or uplifting on each consecutive viewing. personally, my favorite shot is margaret's gaze towards max at the science fair.

[Umbilicus]

so the scene takes place in a stadium parking lot. i was never sure whether it was that, or an airport. i mean, the building in the background kinda looks like a hangar.

[YelloKitty]

so yeah, all this rushmore talk prompted me to steal the "diving for sunken treasure" at my local library. i was sweating bullets. i had to tear the page where they stick the due date card, and then i walked around a little bit, debating whether or not it'd be worth it.

then i remembered the time the librarians kicked me out of the library for laughing too loud (i was a lil gal, dammit), and i was just like, oh hell yes. i'm taking this book.

and then i walked out of the library slo-mo like and stuck my gum on the side of the wall.

thee end.

you're a tree frog?? i love tree frogs. they kind of scare me but in a good way.

yr grill's cute, but the girl next to you is cuter. hehe! i'm gonna have to say this:

:)

what kind of squash will you turn into? butternuts kinda good.

[Umbilicus]

roofles. the flight plan works perfectly. the gum on the wall is great. umbilicus approves.

[YelloKitty]

mr. frog, i saw yr drawering just now (nice editing!), and i'm smitten...

you live in NYC? i'm visiting in july... take me to H&M?

[Umbilicus]

dat's what i heard. s'all good. eight dollar goods make me happy... like stealing "diving for sunken treasures." what a rush!

yr drawering is the kyootest. i've got a permagrin now. shux.

[YelloKitty]

oh man,

this has GOT to be the best thread in the lounge. big yeahs to mr. umbilicus for posting pics of tmge! uuuhhhh huh.

and mr. frog, will you give me time to think things over? i think i'm falling for ya.

and just to keep it a rushmore thread and not a frog/kitty love fest, can i just mention real quicklike how adorable mason gamble is? is it wrong for me to like such a young boy? i wonder if he's 18 yet. the scene that cracks me up the most is when he spits on blume's car. *smile*

i think the combination of the two words hand and job is the funniest thing ever.

WHAT?! That photo was doctored? It looked so real.

[YelloKitty]

the p.e. teacher dood was also a brutha. isn't it weird how they all sound alike?

oh, i did some investigating and i feel like a dirty, dirty girl. mason gamble is only 14. he looks really mature for his age tho. check out his latest pics:

that's exactly what i would have said. i have a strong belief that mason gamble will avoid the child actor abyss of destruction and addiction, his great performance in rushmore is proof of that. has anyone seen him in kate brasher (on cbs)? his voice is almost unrecognizable.

[Umbilicus]

one dead fingernail.

[Asharak]

My favorite scene was Herman Blume's speech at Rushmore Academy:
"Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you."

Yeah, I think Sara Tanaka is a sweetheart too.

[Umbilicus]

would you like to join her appreciation society?

[YelloKitty]

Originally posted by Umbilicus

i think i should start a "can't wait till mason gamble's 18 organization."

mason gamble for freshman class president!

[Umbilicus]

why not have both? frogbelly: she's around new york often, her brother lives there, so you might run into her sometime, though she might be hard to recognize without her margaret yang glasses. yellokitty: he'll soon be yours.

YelloKitty may have to wait awhile for Mason cuz I'm sure he is dating some supermodel right now.

yr hitting on me? awww dang. you silly! i'll try and get some mo' of my pics scanned (non-hungover or deliriously smiley ones) soon. i liked that blue one of you tho. its all picasso or something (was he the one with the blue period?) which means i think its neato.

if mason is going out with giselle, i will scream.

[YelloKitty]

i saw your web site thingy! i liked it mucho. weird, i was going to ask you if you liked ex-girl. saw them a month or two back and they kicked my ass with their operatic stylez.

i have to move to NY. i want to bump into stars.

[Umbilicus]

Yes, she does, and amazingly so. "you wanted to tussle, we tussled" I'd post a picture of that scene, but unfortunatly I don't have one.

[Umbilicus]

What's on his tie, it looks like someone's face, but i can't tell whose. Also, it looks like he is wearing Max's green velvet suit (black & white picture) which is really cool. In conclusion: I do not have cable. Pity me. Oh yeah, almost forgot. The new Phantom Planet (Jason's band) album comes out in August. It is supposed to be much better than "Phantom Planet is Missing", which at times seemed like an immitation of the Beatles in their early years. Also, Sara Tanaka said they are "actually good" and "much better than Dogstar", and, my friends, there can be no higher recommendation.

[YelloKitty]

but phantom planet is one of the worst bands i have EVER seen. there are like, five guitarists or something (what the hell??) and that annoying gap model is the singer. ya know... the mellow yellow guy with the spikey hair. they opened for sloan (don't know how they managed to open for such a good band), and their 14 to 17 year old fans are just as bad as they are. when i asked out loud who this band was, some lil girl turned around and said "they're ONLY like thee greatest band, EVER!" and i laughed. then i noticed jason was in the band and then i cried cus they sucked so bad.

i know a couple of kids who used to go to parties thrown by the phantom planet members, and they all say the same thing... "i only went there for the free drinks!" apparently theyre all so. cali rich kids. hmmm.... i hope jason sticks to acting.

can someone give me the link to that jason photo?? pretty please?

yellokitty: yes, it bugs me too that he's in a band whose phanbase is mostly teen girls who like then not for their music, but for their looks. it's just plain wrong. i'm getting a mixtape with some sloan songs on it sometime next week. i hope they are as good as you claim. frogbelly: i think she frequents the museums when she is in town. if you see her, please give her my regards.

ya USED to have a sloan cd?? whadja do with it, snoop frogg? that's a damn shame. i don't have that one.

[Umbilicus]

what are you doing posting at 3 am?! that's crazy. oh well, it could have been worse though, like 4 am. we should design some Rushmore patches (preferably with bees and "sic transit gloria" on them) to wear everywhere. would anybody want one?

I was pissed, I figured that any army surplus store would have them , I searched all around but came up empty handed, that was the defining piece and w/o it I was screwed, so I had to go as cowboy and wound up looking like The Village People crossed with Toy Story! Anyway moms is sending a package of stuff that hopefully includes my original artwork, if not I'll get on it doggone it and will all be decked out in the latest. Obsessive yes. If I can make a flight plan I can do anything!
why 3am posts, I dunno I just got back from a night on the town and decided to check email and there it was, Reply to Post over and over again. Plus I love you guys!

[Edited by frogbelly on 06-09-2001 at 02:39 PM]

you sir, are my hero for doing that (even though it didn't quite work out). the margaret yang-a-like was a nice touch. i'm going to do that this year, or die trying!

[Umbilicus]

by all means, please do, as my graphic design skills are nearly nonexistent.

[YelloKitty]

any way i can help?

[Umbilicus]

how about a UC Rushmore patch or shirt? "sic transit gloria" motto of course. and a bee in the middle.

[YelloKitty]

no, i don't have any useful skills... but i guess i can steal again! anything for you guys!

ooh i just got a playstation 2, so now i have to buy the rushmore dvd!

and yep, jason falkner from jellyfish. he's a great songwriter, check him out and enjoy.

[YelloKitty]

whoa mr. frog! all these rushmore connections... the world is a truly small place.

[Umbilicus]

it's not fair. next he's going to meet sara tanaka.

[YelloKitty]

totally not fair. we need to kick him out of NYC.

[YelloKitty]

oh my gosh. i'm a senior robot now. come celebrate with me! rushmore screenings 24/7!

[Umbilicus]

congratulations! make a thread about it. it's time to celebrate.

[GEKIGANGER 3]

seniors.....

[Umbilicus]

i guess this thread itself is now a senior.

[YelloKitty]

yay let's have a toast. was max drinking whiskey when they were celebrating his "hit screenplay"?

[YelloKitty]

fb is in the house. you're my rushmore!

[Umbilicus]

i need 100 copies of that card, STAT!

[Umbilicus]

yellokitty has margaret yang glasses, i'm falling under her spell. i'd send a picture, but in the only one i have my eyes are closed and you can barely see my face, so it will have to wait.

[YelloKitty]

i'm a smitten yellokitten.

froggy,

join me for a cup of tea whilst listening to slanted and enchanted?

[YelloKitty]

summer babe.

[Umbilicus]

here we are witnessing the rare courtship between a cat and a frog. an event such as this has not been seen since "zeus and roxanne" or earlier, "milo and otis". notice the subtle wordplay, the confusing musical allusions, and be sure not to forget the toungue and cheek humor. truly, this is one nature's most beautiful sites.

sleepy: that banner is perfect. too bad we can't use images in sigs... do you mind if i use it on other boards?

fg and yk: i'm so upset about missing the chat. and finals were terrible. see you there next thursday, that is, if you don't mind attending again.

[YelloKitty]

dang. i missed out on chat last night. instead i was watching leon: the professional on DVD. hope i can catch y'alls next week?

cute banner, by the way!

i (heart) miss cross.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

Frogbelly: Sorry about
your indie rock tee's. I forgot.
You were talking about me?
hmmm anything I should know?

What other boards will you use
the banner on? I mean I just wanna
know. You can use it but be sure to
mention my name if anyone asks.

Leon rocks!

Say when's the next chat?

[Umbilicus]

i'd use it on the board at rushmore.shootangle.com and the board on somethingawful.com. the next chat is on thursday at 8pm pacific time at http://rushmore.shootangle.com/chat.html . keep in mind that we won't be talking about rushmore the entire length of the chat, as even that subject can get exhausted. i'll see you there, and enjoy the topic wars.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

The GR chat page?
On thrus?

[Umbilicus]

because that "free cds!" BMG banner ad is the most annoying fucking thing in the world. also, we can have topic wars on the chat page of rushmore.shootangle.com.

[Edited by Umbilicus on 06-15-2001 at 06:31 PM]

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

I think this is longest running
thread on the GR board.
Hm lets keep it that way.

[Umbilicus]

not longest running, that title belongs to one of the more controversial threads, like "pear harbor" or the "the asian-white phenomenon", also, "what the fonk do you people look like" is rather long. however, this thread is up there, and like you, i hope it's amazing success is continued. i would like to thank frogbelly and yellokitty, as without their "geeky love" hijack this thread would be in the same position as "bottle rocket: or, how to try, fail, and still be happy".

awww. the success of this thread is a group effort. i want a big group hug.

[Umbilicus]

can you change the size of the banner, and bring miss cross' head closer so that it is about as far from the text as sara's. also, it would be better if sara's full head was included.

yk and fb: you're very welcome. i'm honored that you enjoy this thread.

[Umbilicus]

ok, actually, i kinda like that too, and the fact that its the scarf picture makes it even better. and, it would be nice if miss cross's head was obscured in the same way. but the size needs to adjusted to the standard banner size.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

http://www.edliew.f2s.com/membersig2.gif

Any better?
Why a standard size?
Everything today is standard. Sigh.
I'm sorry.

So... hmm... how's everyone feeling?

[YelloKitty]

i'm feeling so much better now that the banner is standard size. heehee! no really. i absolutely adore it, mister ninja.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

That's what they all say.
Oh well. Sigh

[Umbilicus]

i liked the old version, but i was getting too many complaints about it. apparently people don't like it extending the length of the forums, knaves. thanks for the resize though.

something!

[Umbilicus]

a humourous combination of miss cross and that flying/hovering kitten picture.

[Umbilicus]

yes, you will be sorely missed. but, you will be a hero comparable to tovi in getting the extra and alex in the chat. there will be a strange mixture of jealosy and worship, but sadly more of the former. wait, not miss much?! you'll miss everything!

[YelloKitty]

shit, i hope i can make the chat on thursday. my laptop's broke and my other puter is slow. i hope my computer can make it!

aww froggy, i miss ya already.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

So you want that jumping kitty
in a frame with miss cross ?
How about a nice lens flare filter
and erm... maybe some other tacky filters.

Say does anyone know a website
that's got the times of the world?
Cause my 8:00 PM is not the same
as your 8:00 PM.

Hm Oh well

This is my first post, let's hope all goes well.
I read all of the posts on here. Let me recap my emotions. You meet/know all those people, dang! I met Jason. He is great. btw Phantom Planet is one of my, if not, my favourite band. I was so blown away that you said they suck, but then you recovered by saying Sloan rules. Since they are probably my favourite over Phantom Planet. So, yay for you! I'm going to see them on the 7th. Have you all checked out the Rushmore site? I hope so. Everyone must go to the chat on Thursday, why? because dammit. Since the beginning of these gatherings on Thursday night's it's been the 4 of us. Who is us you say? Well, there's elosie, Umbilicus, Bleether, and I. (i'd say their real names, but i don't know how they'd feel about it). Moving on, last week was great, we had lots of folk, double the norm. Quite entertaining. I don't remember the last post i read so i can't responde to it, sorry. That's all for now.

/me gives phan104 98 posts, so she is now at senior robot status. oh, and a late welcome to the giant robot boards, where discussion of fecal matters is not only practiced, it is actually encouraged. i wish there was something i could do to help your laptop, yk. i know if uglycat was here she'd stare it back into health.

[Umbilicus]

do you mean the old 80s movie, or the new jason schwartzman movie? in which case, i have seen neither...

I've never seen that Slacker film or the new one. Mostly because it's been screened, but not released yet. I don't care if it doesn't make it to the big screen. I just want to see the damn film. Thanks for the inspiration. I'll make it to senior. One way or another! I'm gonna get it.

[Umbilicus]

1. post in every thread
2. even if you have nothing to say
3. keep your responses short, that extra time could be spent on other posts
4. when you finally do reach senior robot status, make a thread about your long journey. by doing so, you will thus be inducted into the senior robot society, which gives your posts added meaning and allows you to say pretty much anything

Rushmore more

um shit. i'm too lazy to look in the other pages for the link to the chat. can someone hook me up please?

Wow this makes me feel complete.

[Umbilicus]

the q and a with alex and jordon was cool, we gained a lot of inside information. fg-thanks for inviting them. sleepy-hope you liked it, and that more people appreciate the banners you've made. yk-we missed you there, especially frogbelly. oh, and next time, let's get a good topic war going, that's usually my favorite part.

[ridestalker]

yes i suppose that's true, but i'vebeen out to sea for a long time

Yeah, I think Sara Tanaka is a sweetheart too.

fuck, you guys have it real easy. i didn't have it like this when i grew up. but i send my kids here, because the fact is you guys go to one of the best schools in the country, rushmore...

wanna trade quotes? i'll fuck you up

i know a couple of kids who used to go to parties thrown by the phantom planet members, and they all say the same thing... "i only went there for the free drinks!" apparently theyre all so. cali rich kids. hmmm.... i hope jason sticks to acting.

can someone give me the link to that jason photo?? pretty please?

fucking hell, you didn't see them do the cover of busta rhymes' "gimme some more"? you missed out for sure, fucking amazing

[YelloKitty]

jeez, sounds like a missed a phat chat. *pouts* perhaps our guest speakers will visit again next week? i hope so. i promise i'll be there this time. just as long as nobody calls me up for dranky dranks because of girl problems... bleh.

i'll think of some kickass topics for next week's chat, such as:
better soundtrack: rushmore or bottle rockets? (ooh its a toss up!)
dignan vs. herman blume: who would win in a fight?
is it wrong for a 21-year-old lady to love mason gamble so much?
etc. etc.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

Does anyone want a pre made banner with their
name on it or something?

[Umbilicus]

how about one that combines uglycat and the flying kitten of doom in some clever way.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

I'm trying to forfill frogbelly's
request.

http://www.edliew.f2s.com/kittyweird.jpg

Okay now this is getting creepy.

[Umbilicus]

frogbelly did not just surpass me by two posts. it's just the result of a computer error.

sleepy-there is a resemblance. very disturbing.

[YelloKitty]

oh my god. i scare myself.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

okay right, what was the
photoshop challange again?

[Umbilicus]

the photoshop challenge was to combine uglycat and the flying kitten of doom in some clever way. also, i need a jason schwartzman appreciation society sig, for eloise and phan104.

what specific type of addidas were they?

[Edited by Umbilicus on 06-23-2001 at 01:07 PM]

[Umbilicus]

wow.

[Umbilicus]

BLING! BLING!



sorry.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

Frogbelly you wanna battle!?
okay that's it!

Say where do I find the ugly cat pic
and the other one?

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

http://www.edliew.f2s.com/membersig3.gif

How's that? I like the Miss Cross and Sara
banner. I'm not sure about this one.
Tell me if you need edits?

Go take your !@#@!#

[Umbilicus]

i like the schwartzman appreciation society pic, but let's wait until phan104 sees it, as she will probably use it and have better requests for changes. as for the photoshop challenge, all i can say is "this is gonna be great!".

[YelloKitty]

ninja's got skeels.

That is a great picture w/ Jason and Uglycat! WOO! For the banner could you get another picture...he kinda looks umm. retarded. And could you change the colour of the background, since Sara & Miss Cross' is the same. And (cause i'm a picky bitch) could you put co-founders. please. and thank you.

[Edited by phan104 on 06-24-2001 at 07:21 PM]

he looks goofy in almost every pic.

Jason is just a goofy kind of guy. But I dont' know about that picture...doesn't quite capture him for me. I'm suprised of no Mason Gamble society... then again bandwagons might not be for you?

[Umbilicus]

you could use the photoshop challenge pic of him. he is a friend to animals you know.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

http://www.edliew.f2s.com/membersig4.gif

Better?
In the design industry, the client

Well this time forget it!
I'm a freakin Senior Robot Now!!!!
wooo hoo!

So err what super powers do I get?

[YelloKitty]

no super powers. i thought i'd magically tranform into something better but i'm still the same ol' kitty.

whoa-ho, frogbelly. are you fluent in german? did i tell you about my weakness for that language?

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

So where do I find the cat pics?

[Umbilicus]

try http://www.cat-scan.com , and http://www.somethingawful.com/cliff/ihateyou for uglycat, and the flying kitten is in an unadulterated form somewhere in these very same forums. for hello kitty pictures though, i am at a complete loss.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

http://www.edliew.f2s.com/kittymual.gif

Hey frogbelly, I guess Yellokitty
got kinda violent with her crew.

[YelloKitty]

you guys are so fucking awesome!

ooh. that pic of jason in the elevator... he almost looks *gasp* sexy.

[Umbilicus]

almost?! uh oh...

wtf. almost hot. Then again this comes from a girl who obesses over an actor who looks around 10 years old.

[YelloKitty]

at least you're not obsessing over an actor who's close to being 10-years-old. i really need to get over mason gamble.

[Umbilicus]

watch him on kate brasher, that might help. his voice and general look are different.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

Don't forget people, tomorrow,

8:00 PM Eastern Standard time USA

http://rushmore.shootangle.com/chat.html

Hope everyone makes it. I might not be there, but i'll be there in spirit. If i do get there I'll be late. Sorry. I think you should discuss getting yellokitty some help with her attraction to underage children. Either way, have fun.

[Umbilicus]

just realized sleepy got the time wrong. it's 8pm PACIFIC time and 11pm EASTERN time. sorry for the mixup.

[Umbilicus]

bill cosby and richard pryor?

[YelloKitty]

yellokitty and mason gamble would equal yellokitty and jail time.
i hope i can make it to chat tonight.

oh wait, that would be conformity. and although your cause is worthy, i don't feel that i'd be an asset to your establishment...(meaning i'm too lazy to add it to the sig. maybe next week)

[Umbilicus]

awe. if you want a hazing, we'll give you hazing.

[Umbilicus]

sorry to hear yellokitty is sick. she must have eaten at burger king. who tied you up? i hope it was consentual.

[Umbilicus]

whew, i was worried there for a second. damn those nuns and their vegetable inquisition!

[YelloKitty]

frogbelly be reading minds and shiiet.

how'd you know i was sick? sure it was alcohol induced... but yeah! i was pretty ill. not good. so last night i had a weird dream that bob saget was a giant, and my car broke down in his neighborhood, and he carried me the way moms carry their babies (ya know, slung at the hip) to a costco, and my tank top was torn, and i had a safety pin septum piercing. BIZARRE. i think my drinks were laced.

what happened at the chat? i'm curious.

[Umbilicus]

nothing happened at the chat. you didn't miss anything.

[YelloKitty]

private eyes *clap clap* they're watching you!

[YelloKitty]

frogbelly: *wink, swoon, repeat*

for all you sara tanaka fans, check out yum magazine for an interview with miss thang.

[Umbilicus]

yellokitty, do you mean Zum magazine? issue 12, with the guy on the cover eating a lollypop or somethng like that, with a red backround? or do you mean another one?

[YelloKitty]

oops. it prolly was zum. yum, same difference. my apologies. i think the cover was pink, and the magazine is based in berkeley... i'm not much help, am i?

oh ninja! i'm all ferklempt now! even i have to admit that i'm lookin sorta darling.

Dear Lord. Can we get these people some help A.S.A.P!!!!

Lets do a Yellokitty shrine!
JK. Sorry I can't help it,
I have no life and I live on
the computer.

Oh no. Why did you meantion a shire. Crap now he'll want to start one. Maybe I can set you guys up with an online doctor.....

Admitting to the problem is the first step to recovery.

[YelloKitty]

but offerings of cash and/or pocky would be gladly accepted.

did anyone find out which kind of adidas max is wearing? do i need to watch the movie AGAIN? oh well. things could be worse. like a yellokitty shrine.

The only words i can utter....what the hell.

[Umbilicus]

ok, i'm gonna get those shoes now, once i get money. what in the name of eloise fischer is going on here?! i mean, between the innuendo, worship, and general malaise i don't know what to make of this.

[YelloKitty]

i don't know what the ells is going on either, but i want those shoes badly.

[Umbilicus]

ATTN: Sleepy, could you make a banner for The Rushmore Academy (the site we have the chat's on)? It would be greatly appreciated, and you'll get credit. Thanks.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

Tell me what exactly you want to
See on the Rushmore Academy banners?
I need the brief.

And by the way
I was just kidding about
The YelloKitty shrine, it
Was a joke.

[Umbilicus]

umm, no, i don't really want to compare the two. rushmore is far superior, though ferris has it's good points. the yellokitty banner was funny, but also kinda sad. 39.99 eh, wish i had some money for those. sleepy, just something that deals with rushmore in a general way would be good, and it can be in the template you've been using for the appreciation banners, so you can save some time.

[YelloKitty]

whyssit sad? i'm smiling.

hello there all, im new to your fine boards, and would just like to say im a huge fan of rushmore.
so tell me is there any posters here that i should avoid at all costs?

[Umbilicus]

it is sad because it is just weird and cultish. sleepy can be a little angsty, waco jesus has a tendency to post sideways, frogbelly and yellokitty usually ignore everyone else and play obscure quoting games tinged with innuendo, and i sometimes get angry when this thread gets out of control, but other than that, you don't have to worry about getting flamed.

I'm sorry about the
way I have behaved.

I shall start researching for
the banner.

sorry

[Umbilicus]

don't worry about it sleepy, it's what makes you you. i've been able to name most of them, but not all. some of the characters from the movie are there. in the full size poster you can see wes and kumar, though it is very difficult as they are hidden.

sometimes, when i'm watching rad, i look for jason's cameo.

[Umbilicus]

a reminder-the chat starts in about at hour, 8pm Pacific time (11pm Eastern). the url is http://rushmore.shootangle.com/chat.html , see you there.

[Umbilicus]

did you save the "director approved" sticker?

[YelloKitty]

i ain't a thief! oh wait yes i am. sorry.

[Umbilicus]

sleepy: i wonder, are you male or female? i cannot determine.

[Umbilicus]

wow, i didn't know what i said was in goldfinger, cool. yes, this thread must never die!

[YelloKitty]

la revolucion de rushmore!

hey frog, is it hot in here or is it just you?

any news on mason gamble? is that show going to be on next season?

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

Male, why?

[Umbilicus]

because i was talking to phan104 about it, and she said that you were female, but i wasn't sure, so i thought i would check. thanks for clearing it up.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

Why did phan104 say I was female?

[Umbilicus]

i don't know. i'll ask her next time i see her.

what the heck!? hah sorry. i didn't know...not like it matters eh. SO i met SLOAN. i think i almost died. Do you care... i don't think so but TOO BAD! CAUSE MY MUSIC IDOLS RULE! a helluva lot. Jason loves them as well. yay.

...Aphex Twin needs to play in the US soon. Damn him for cancelling at Coachella!

[wutangy]

i guess i could've started another thread, but anyone know when wes anderson's new movie, 'the royal tenenbaums' is coming out?

[lovelikefrogs]

I don't if this has been addressed yet, but do you think that Mr. Bloom and Ms. Applebee would have gotten back together, if the movie kept going, as a couple ?

[Umbilicus]

I didn't notice any attraction between Margaret and Mr. Blume.

[Umbilicus]

I see what you mean. Like the way he holds the M in MMMargaret. Do you think he'd treat her better than Max would?

[YelloKitty]

inside are photographs of selma blair by the one and only jason. they look really neat too.

[Umbilicus]

isn't she his ex-girlfriend now?

[YelloKitty]

she's like... almost 30. go jason!

[Zaius]

Hmmm.....I finally looked in this thread since it's been here...what...five, six months now?

Holy Crap! the same four or five people have kept this thing alive all this time?!?!?

[YelloKitty]

shhhh! it's a secret.

[Umbilicus]

she's 30, wow. It's like Miss Cross all over again. ATTN: phan104-YelloKitty seems to have no problem with Sel-BLEH!.

oh yes oh yes. it is his ex girlfriend WO HO! It's okay Yellokitty doesn't know of the deep horror I and Maria have felt for the one know only as Selh Belh... You are priveldge YelloKitty, never change.

[Umbilicus]

i wonder if he'll write a song about her. hopefully, if he does, it'll be meanspirited.

[YelloKitty]

nothing against selma... she just seems a little bit too old for jason. that's like... me hooking up with mason. hmm.

anyways just watched rushmore (criterion collection) and noticed that max fischer would have graduated this year. wow.

Selma is OLD. and nasty. Girl buys Trashy underwear... I know too much I think. At least Mason looks older, not 12 like he had.

[Umbilicus]

Trashy underwear, nasty. I'll be it has stains too. Let's not think about that. I think CBS cancelled Kate Brasher, dammit. Is Mason Gamble his real name? Yeah, Max would graduate this year, but I wonder if he would have gotten himself kicked out of Grover Cleveland beforehand.

[Edited by Umbilicus on 07-12-2001 at 05:04 PM]

Holy Schnikies! Edamame? That is so boss. Has he ever been stug? I heard that the chat went well (I didn't go), as it was all girls and there was none of the usual bickering.

[Umbilicus]

The petty bickering ceased only because we weren't there to argue with each other. Once again, that's boss about your father, but don't put down your past so much. It's like Max pushing away Bert, just not kosher.

[Umbilicus]

I'm having trouble with the sig picture showing up in other forums. Do you know what could be causing it?

dstorberg: I hope you mean Miss Cross and not Mr. Adams.

[Umbilicus]

I hope he doesn't think you're crazy, but unfortunately, he probably thinks you are. I told someone she reminded me of Margaret Yang, had her watch the movie, and she still didn't get it. It was kinda sad, but oh well. I don't think she'll ever get it. Have you heard about Rushmore being shown on Comedy Central, with possible deleted scenes?

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

The server is down sometimes.
Send me an e-mail and I'll
hit you up with all the sig's
I made.

[Umbilicus]

I shouldn't be saying anything though, my father has one of those farmer tans too. Aren't the shoes that Max wears the preferred show for hacky-sack?

I suppose the fun, or the funny begins now.

[Umbilicus]

http://rushmore.shootangle.com/multimedia/captures/167.jpg

frogbelly and yellokitty: I hope it goes well.

An aside: All the regular posters in this thread should be given "Rushmore Beekeeper" custom titles.

[Edited by Umbilicus on 07-19-2001 at 12:10 AM]

What's this Sloan Party Mix... is it with Giltter and Gold on it? Or did you make it?

[Umbilicus]

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

Frogbelly would you, could you possibly burn (or tape) that for me. My copy didn't come with one. I really really REALLY want it too. I'd thank you a billion times if you did. thanks in ahead. stacey.

[Umbilicus]

Quasi?

thank you. thank you.

[Umbilicus]

No joke? Umm, post the pictures of course

[YelloKitty]

so yes, frogs and kitties CAN get along. frogbelly was THEE coolest. i wish i lived there. i am sad now. no actually i'm really really tired.

kumar is so cute.

[Sleepy Introvert Ninja]

righty o

[YelloKitty]

so gwyneth paltrow and luke wilson have hooked up, thanks to wes' new movie. i think they might make for an okay couple.

one word to describe the frogbelly: HOT.

ooh. and we were wearing the same diesel jeans. how weird.

[Umbilicus]

didn't you say that you had pictures?

sounds like you two had a lot of fun and hit it right off. however, and i don't mean to be rude, but do clothes and fashion really matter that much?

[YelloKitty]

pics of gwyneth and luke or me and the frog? pics of gwyneth and luke are in the latest copy of enquirer (mom loves that stuff) and my pics are currently at costco. should be ready by tomorrow.

well, no they don't. if FB was naked, i'm sure i'd like him just as much. maybe a little bit more. but it was just an odd coincidence we were wearing the same exact jeans.

[Umbilicus]

i mean pictures of both. didn't know you were wearing the same jeans, that's a little weird. i hope they weren't the same size.
