I know! *wipes tears from eyes due to intence laughter* That was just so random.

What happened was, I started a thread were you made up sims of who you imagined someone on the forum to look like, and then they would make up their own sim in return of what theay really looked like. Well, I thought it'd be cool to make up a sim of pitbulllady, just to show off what I imagined her to look. Well, pitbulllady writes back to me and she is really, really mad. Telling me that she was very insulted of what I pictured her to look like, and she specifically stated, "I look absolutly nothing like that, I'll have you know that I am a black woman." And that was it.

ROTFLMAO, big-time! It's so funny you said that, because I got a call a few weeks ago from a Black lady in Chicago who'd more or less "inherited" a Catahoula Leopard Dog from a recently-deceased relative, and was having a real handful with this 100+ pound dog that clearly had a mind of its own(as all Catahoulas do). After about 10 minutes into the conversation, she said that I was only the second "sister"(the other being herself)who had one of these dogs, and she was glad she'd called me. I had to tell her that I was as White as can be, pure Celtic if ever there was. She was quite startled to hear that, but she was dead-on in her explanation, saying, "I bet you were raised by a Black woman, though, weren't you?" She is quite correct, in that I WAS more or less raised by a Black woman, Lucille Muldrow, because my mother was a manic depressive who wanted very little to do with her kids. My only playmates(humans, anyway)besides my brother, who is mildly autistic, were local Black kids, mostly "Seal's" grandkids. I also have taught school in rural districts that are 70-98% Black, and live in a county that's 80% Black, so I guess that many of the phrases, speech patterns, and what-not have inevitably rubbed off on me, to the extent that I do sometimes fool people on the phone. The lady in Chicago and I wound up talking for a very long time, and she concluded the conversation by saying, "You may be White, but 'far as I'm concerned, you still a SISTAH!" I was touched, really, and felt honored that she felt that way about me.

Wow, that is funny I had that dream! This reminds me of the other day at school, when my black friends said that I changed. I asked how, and they said that all of the suddon I've been talking ghetto, when I used to talk all perfect and proper. They said I changed for the better. Ha! I guess the ghetto, slang, kind of talk rubbed off from school on me!

That is one of the coolest stories I have ever heard, pbl.

And I've seen pbl's hand once, in a photo of one of her tarantulas. That's it.

Okay I had a dream last night! Mine was also about the forum. I dreamt that some big company bought the forum - I do not remember what company; I suppose it would make sense to assume it was Cartoon Network; though quite frankly it may have been their parent company Time Warner - or it may have even been Mattel. Somebody who would gain from the success of the show. Let me explain what happened as best I can.

I dreamt that the staff of the forum got together (apparently we were all flown out to some corporate office - and it being a dream, I didn't actually "see" the faces of any of the staff I've never seen before, but I know we were all in the same room) with a lady from the company that had bought the forum. And she was giving us this "pitch" or motivational speech about how we should be running the discussions on the forum. Now that the forum was owned by them, they wanted us, as the staff, to actually start a minimum number of discussions on the forum per week, and not only that, but we were to STEER the discussions in certain directions, as would suit the company. Such as, for character discussions we had to make sure everyone liked the character, and episode discussions, we were to convince everyone that the ep was great (I'm not kidding). At one point I (myself in the dream) got angry and was complaining to this lady, that that wasn't why we HAD this forum; that the point was people coming and voicing their own opinions. It wasn't right for us to basically tell them what to talk about and what to think.

And then this lady started manipulating what I said and thought and got us ALL to the point where we were agreeing with her. Some sinister corporate mind-melding trick, I guess.

That's all I remember. It was creepy! I dreamt that we were all sucked into a corporate nightmare from which there was no escape!!

(I wish I could say "October Fool's!" or something, but I really had that dream.)

[Tonya]

HAHAHA! That right there, was hilarious!

[taranchula]

Wow... just... wow, At least we got a free trip out of the deal.

I hope they fed us.

Corporations are too cheap to actually feed people. They probably just gave you a picture of food.

Sparky's dream sort of reminds me of that South Park ep where the characters go skiing in Aspen.

Thanks!
I had a dream last night about Bloo, Mac, Wilt & me hunting for Bigfoot. They were cartoony while I & everything else was real besides the characters. It gives me an idea for a fan fic! Frankie also appeared, I asked her if she wanted to come & she said no because she had a date.
