The official "Free Laurie" thread

[Richard_From_CHI]

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!

[John Junk]

(To the tune of Tom Scharpling's "Racist, Racist,..." chant)
LAURIE, LAURIE, LUARIE, LAURIE, LAURIE, etc.

[Jason]

I don't know, it's nice and quiet without her.

[Chris L]

What if Laurie doesn't WANT to come back?  Will we have to recast?

[Sarah]

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.

[Petey]

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.

[B_Buster]

Is this the beginning of Petey's Howard Stern phase?

[Jason]

What if Laurie doesn't WANT to come back?  Will we have to recast?

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).

But we just have to face the facts: Best Show is meant for the penises.

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!

[John Junk]

What we need is another classic female to make an unexpected return.  Apple-Picker where are you?

[Tyrannosaurus Rocks]

What we need is a cheap way to make automatons.

[Sarah]

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.

[Tom Scharpling]

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.

[Jason]

Everyone relax, I'm on the case.

I'm suing under a discrimination theory.

I want to be the new Laurie.
