I would like to start the chorus of voices lamenting the loss of Laurie, a great poster, a great caller, and while I don't know her at all, seemingly a decent person.
Laurie must return!
-
(To the tune of Tom Scharpling's "Racist, Racist,..." chant)
LAURIE, LAURIE, LUARIE, LAURIE, LAURIE, etc.
-
I don't know, it's nice and quiet without her.
-
What if Laurie doesn't WANT to come back? Will we have to recast?
-
I'm sure a volunteer would eventually come forward and step into her shoes without our help.
And, in any case, I suspect we haven't heard the last of Laurie, who is, I'm sure, bruised but unbowed.
-
i know buddies, its sad, its sad that another of our few female FOTs has dissapeared. But we just have to face the facts: Best Show is meant for the penises.
-
Is this the beginning of Petey's Howard Stern phase?
-

Now do we recast for a girl to be Laurie (like in Roseanne) or just a new girl to be the new FOT sweetheart (like in Monk).
-

Gee, I know pen is envy, but damn it, this is the 21st century - you'd think the keyboard would be the great equalizer. By the way, the Peckinpah is rotting yer brain, Petey, lol. Viva il machismo! Ole!
-
What we need is another classic female to make an unexpected return. Apple-Picker where are you?
-
What we need is a cheap way to make automatons.
-
Someone could just call in a la Mr. T. guy and plays clips of Laurie's old calls, I suppose.
And, boys, you're making me feel very chopped livery. Which is fair, I suppose, since I don't call. Still, both the cats and the dogs are eyeing me funny, and it's making me quite uncomfortable.
-
I like Laurie a lot. She's been a great caller.
But if she's gonna pack up and go home at the first sign of trouble, I don't know what to say. How many people have been 'banned'? And how many of those bans have stuck? Spike? Petey? The Goshen kids? None of the bans have stuck (and if things come to fruition, one of the longest running Best Show enemies will face the music full-on tonight....).
Laurie, you're a good person. But if you really deleted your account over this and are honestly gone, you're soft serve.
Tom.
-
Everyone relax, I'm on the case.

I'm suing under a discrimination theory.
I want to be the new Laurie.
-
Jason, you are awesome.
Sarah, you are awesome too.
-
John, thank you.
Jason, a bold move.
-
Should include "No experience required, all aplicants welcome.
We are an equal opportunity radio show."

I'm not dead yet. I meant to re-register yesterday, but I pulled my handstring (rimshot, please) jogging. I was in major pain, but I slept on the couch for nine hours. Then I woke up at 3:30 am, changed into pajamas, relocated to my bed and promptly fell fast asleep for another four hours. So, I'm rested.
The reason I left was not because of the ban. I knew the ban was far from permanent. At this time, however, I am feeling oversensitive due to a bad breakup. I'm not going into it, because bitching about your ex-boyfriend is what gay boyfriends, best friends, and moms are for. I think I'm mostly done sobbing on their shoulders and doing all the clichéd shit girls do when their relationship goes into the shitter (eat a pint of Half-Baked Ben and Jerry's? check; use pictures of your ex as cat box liner? check; sign up to receive mail from a bunch of gay porn websites? check).
When I woke up last Wednesday morning and saw the poll, and noticed that people were voting in favor of the ban? Well, it stung a little at the time, since I was still reeling from the breakup that occured less than three days ago. I got all shirty and said something to the effect of, "Well, I'll give them what they want and delete my account!" I didn't intend to be all drama queeny about it. It just sort of went that way after a shitty week. I apologize for any drama that ensued during my little titty attack.
-
Yeah, but Laurie - look at the percentages on the poll now - you're winning by a LANDSLIDE!
You were missed immediately.

Good to have you back, Laurie. Now you know, when your heart is getting stepped on, somewhere out there are a bunch of dudes on the internet who nearly have a brain hemorrhage if you don't post on their website for a week and a half.

I don't watch "House"

Well, you should. Hugh Laurie is both a gentleman and a scholar. He is also a stone fox.

And subject to black depression, apparently. A quadrifecta!
