Arty Austin

Update: Here is the new PSA, Jake and celebrities that are a part of Creative Artists Agency put together to help raise money for the American Red Cross and the relief effort in Haiti. Jake joins Morgan Freeman, Tim McGraw, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, and Reese Witherspoon in asking for continued support for Haiti.


(Thanks Red Cross for the link)

Tonight Jake will participating with other stars in Hope for Haiti, a two hour telethon on over 50 channels to raise awareness, support, and money for Haiti put together by George Clooney.





The Art of Elysium, "encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. We provide artistic workshops in the following disciplines: acting, art, comedy, fashion, music, radio, songwriting and creative writing."At their event last weekend Austin spoke about the power of art.

“I believe in the healing power of the arts and whenever anyone can bring art into anyone's life, it's a special thing”, “If someone is sick and has a more tough time than other people, it's an incredible healing medium.”

Austin grew up in a city and community that creates celebrates and empowers art. Austin TX has drawn many artists, musicians, writers, performers, and free thinkers to become a part of the funky pulse of that gives the Texas capital a different beat to the rest of the Lone Star State. The more you know get to know about Mr. Nichols the more you see how the influence of his hometown.

Austin has great as art inside and out, high and low, from traditional to emerging and each has found a niche in the eclectic city. Austin believes "art is everywhere and art is for everyone."
Austin has museums galleries and alternative spaces in additional to public art and street art that you find in Austin.
For a decade, Daniel Johnston's Jeremiah the Frog mural has been an iconic piece of cultural identity for both Austin, Texas' oft-traversed Strip, as well as in the subgenre of alternative rock, where its artist (on the corner of 21st Street and Guadalupe) decided not to demolish the wall and replace it with windows.

The past twenty-five years City of Austin Art in Public Places program has made it possible for talented artists of local and national renown to enhance public spaces throughout the city with works of art ranging from outdoor sculptures and murals to functional works integrated into the city's architecture. Artists have incorporated traditions, objects, and physical marks of the Austin to create cultural landmarks that have become cornerstones of Austin's identity.

A newer piece of public art installed in Austin has been the Electric Sunflowers.



But there in a city were there is knitted lamp post cover
and a giant fork with a heart


you can see a city that brings art into everyone's life.

I agree I think that Jake and Austin do have help, there are a lot of non celebrity families that have help, but I take "active" mean that they are totally involved in the daily lives of their children.

destiny said...

I agree with Tom that it is personal for Ted--although TT is also his best-known Blind Vice.

I suspect Ted still has hope that J&A will do the right thing, especially since they have a child. I suspect he also feels differently about them because TT because he is part of a couple, and not just a single guy going from one hookup to the next.

destiny said...

Austin looks like such a cool place, I'd love to visit it some day.

Florida Tom said...

Hey PG I just meant Ted knows he is right and wants eventually to show everyone that he was right. Then he can brag like heck. Plus I think he loves playing with Toothy and now the Goose.

BT septic said...

Do you really believe everything he says?

just asking said...

Did he say if it's a boy or a girl ?

destiny said...

I've waffled a lot over the years about BT, but I definitely lean towards believing he or she exists. I think Ted would have just let it drop and not mentioned it again if not true. Plus we've had a few odd things: the photos of Jake at dinner with RDJ that looked like their was a child's coat on the bench, Reeke driving in D.C. with Rudd and two kids when Ava and Deacon were clearly in L.A., and possibly, the London playground pix of Jake.

I wonder if there are other things out there if we just really combed through them, the way that picture that seems to be Austin was noticed this week.

I just hope I'm around to read Ava and BT's tell-all books. :-D

BT said...

Did he say if it's a boy or a girl ?

No.

'Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief' Announces Superstar Lineup of Operators

Vanity Fair said...

Strange.

hm said...

More than One Hundred of the Biggest Names in Film, Television, and Music to Work the Phones and Take Donations in Support of "Hope for Haiti Now"

That list has less than 100 names.

prairiegirl said...

Thanks, Tom. I see what you're saying. I was having a duh moment there.

It's good to be on official weekend. What a long week. And next week promises to be a most stressful one as it is the last week of the old warehouse loading technique and in two weeks, we get more up to date with electronic scanners. It will be big-time stress for everyone, even me & my cubemate, who we will be stressed just because everyone else is stressed, lol.

Jersey Tom said...

Yeah I do believe Ted on this now. I have wavered over the past but Ted is so persistant on TT, GG, and BT. I just cant believe he would risk losing credibility.

Sure seems far fetched but its possible. I hate that they are hiding all this and I dont see anything happening anytime soon. I am hoping things might change after PoP but I doubt it. But can they hide this forever.

m said...

Anyone who follows movie gossip knows that Jake is the #1 and only #1 candidate to be Toothy. Ted knows that too. If it were not Jake, he would have said and it's not a long time ago. Despite all the guesses re who Toothy is, Jake's name never comes up in email guesses despite being the #1candidate because Ted can't say no he isn't and won't out him. If Ted says there is a Baby Tile or possibly multiple Baby Tiles, I believe him. For some reason I thought there was a hint that it was a boy, but nothing I can put my hands on.

As to Teds's using Toothy to keep public interest, Pattinson and the whole Twilight ilk has taken comments through the roof. Ted has not needed Toothy for readers for quite some time.

Speaking of Pattinson, did you hear that he, Sean Penn and Reese may be in a movie together? Talk about odd casting.

IMO said...

"As to Teds's using Toothy to keep public interest, Pattinson and the whole Twilight ilk has taken comments through the roof. Ted has not needed Toothy for readers for quite some time. "

come on, toothy is the superstar of blind vice and has a lot of fans. Of course he keeps BV readers interest.

prairiegirl said...

Mmmmm, I don't know about toothy being a superstar of bv's anymore. Sounds like the comments on Twilight and the like far outnumber any attention toothy gets anymore.

I agree, m. Ted doesn't need Toothy anymore, not really. His column is alot more than toothy. I'm sure his paycheck isn't banked on Toothy.

What I like now is that he's on Grey Goose's tail. I like to see Ted putting the heat on.

Special K said...

M, I thought that Ted had mentioned that BT was male too. And yes he did hint a year ago about a multiple baby T's around the time Ben Affleck and Jen Garner were having Seraphina, just like he hinted about BT when Naomi Watts and Liev Scriber had their first one. He also answered with the expanding family comment almost to the year that he talked about BT2. Coincidence or birthday?

Soon to be KC Tom said...

Sounds like there could be a major invasion of TBs hitting KC in Sept.
Wow!

prairiegirl said...

Soon to be KC Tom. LOLLL! I love that.

Well, m, you may get an email notification that I posted a new chapter. I pulled it real quick. I hadn't looked at my Friends page but when I did, wow, did I feel bad.

Tons of posts on Heath. So I thought I better wait til later to put my new chapter up.

Oh Ted said...

. . . but I take "active" mean that they are totally involved in the daily lives of their children.

Hooray!

Love today's post - sounds like Austin might be a future OMG GetTogether location. :)

Special K said...

Thanks Red Cross for the PSA link. I updated today's post to embed it in today's post.

Maybe Austin said...

Austin or Kansas City. Tough choice.

More DL BT gossip said...

As Jake G's neighbor in Venice Ca, I can assure he is gay, living with Austin Nichols and Chris the chef, fucking Jerry Bruckheimer and has 12 kids.

nice try said...

8:13 PM,

that's not gossip, that's troll post.

mtv said...

Maybe Jake is on? Someone says he is. Hope for Haiti

prairiegirl said...

Reese is in the front row.

prairiegirl said...

These kinds of telethons are great. George Clooney recruited a vast amount of big names for an ultimate cause. The stories they are telling are just heartbreaking and the pictures are unbelievable.

mtv said...

Live Phone Bank stream

Alexander Graham Bell said...

All the celebs had to be shown how to use a landline and what a phone cord was.

Oh Ted said...

What a great telethon, great songs and great arrangements. I loved Hallelujah.

OMG GetTogethers - today, Kansas City, tomorrow the World! Or Austin, Texas. :)

prairiegirl said...

It was very good, wasn't it? I liked little Monley. I think Anderson Coop looks great with him. Coop looks like a natural dad! A natural, HOT dad. lol! I wish Coop would adopt Monley. That kid is so cute.

prairiegirl said...

That was a great video of the 15 year old girl who was trapped and they had film of them extracting her from the rubble. Unbelievable. And the joy on her face over being alive, even admidst all the devestation around her. That was an awesome video.

Hey, ng, NPH was there on the phones.

prairiegirl said...

hmm. I think that should have been amidst.

Oh Ted said...

It was, PG. The joy of those who saved her too. :)

Special K said...

The telethon was poignant and brought both the need and the hope for Haiti.

All the performances were great.

I must stunned to realize they already the number of orphans before the earthquake, I can't imagine how many more now, it's mind boggling and heartaching.

prairiegirl said...

I didn't know they had a high number of orphans before the earthquake; I missed that information. It's as unreal as the mass graves. I remember seeing very early pictures after the earthquake and a coffin maker was told to stop making coffins because there was no way they were going to be able to keep up. They were going to have to just do mass graves.

No markers,no nothing. It's like they said on TV tonight - people just disappeared.

That's awful.

Special K said...

Jake looked good in the PSA, the hair looks like he got a trim and his beard too. And that he's gotten some sleep, which might be tough since some in the house might not be so sleepy when they should be.

destiny said...

It was a nice telethon. But did they really need to
feature Reese talking on the phone with a donor. Even my girlfriend was cringing over how fake she seemed and insisted I turn the sound off.

Maybe that's why Jake didn't show up??

Special K said...

I don't think Jake backed out I think he was there. Wonder if there will be some pictures out tomorrow too.

There were a lot of people on the top row on the right side of the phone bank that you never really got see.

And honestly I don't think Jake needed to be front and center like a certain blonde, but maybe he just wanted to go in volunteer his time for his friend George and a great cause.

Special K said...

Watched Conan's last show. For a situation that is so messed up, he went out with class. He did thank NBC for the 20 years of working there despite the current situation, and said yes leaving the Tonight Show is the hardest thing he's ever done.

He reminded people that he doesn't want them to be cynical, but that if you work hard and you're kind, good things do happen.

Total class act.

And Will Ferrell doing Freebird with a cowbell for the end. Perfect CoCo.

BT said...

some in the house might not be so sleepy when they should be.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Atticus said...

Don't accuse me. I sleep 20 hours a day. It's my job.

interview said...

Asked if he thinks it’s important for young gay people to have positive role models, his ambivalence vanishes. 'I really agree with that, and I feel in my heart that it’s important, but I don’t quite know yet the way to go about that. Maybe that’s the transitional thing I feel I’m in the middle of at the moment. It’s something I think about, but it’s important for me to do it at the time that’s right for me. And I’m not there yet.'

Oops. British actor Ben Whishaw accidentally comes out.

ONTD

Florida Tom said...

I sure wish someone had the balls to ask Jake a question like that. Not only Jake but all of the rumored closet queens in HW. Why cant reporters ask those kind of questions.

Florida Tom said...

Ive got the feeling HW makes their rules based on something other than the constitution and if you dont abide by those rules you can kiss ur butt goodbye.

Hollywood said...

We are not a democracy.

prairiegirl said...

You know, I really don't want to say a whole lot about this, but doggone it, I have to get it out because it is burning my butt. I'll try not to go on too long or get too out of hand.

But I am so glad I didn't see that phone call feature on Avon Lady, Destiny, because I think I would have probably turned the thing off and thus missed some of the other excellent things about it. I was at my laptop a few times during songs which I could listen to; I'm not sure how I missed her "feature" call, but it's a good thing I did.

I'm sorry, but to me, her being on there stank of as false of a goodwill move as I think I've ever seen. Why is it Jake's name comes out when the initial list is released and hers comes on like one day prior to the event? I can never believe anything she does. I will forever doubt every move she makes and suspect it as some calculated step in her grand scheme of career ladder climbing.

The ridiculous polka dot umbrella Morton Salt Lady pictures on Just Jared were just over the top. Who dresses like that upon exiting their exercise class? For heaven's sake, you should be sweaty already, the rain ought to feel good!! Stop it already, Reese.

And then we have the telethon pictures with her professional colleagues. When have we ever seen her smiling like that except when her & Jake had a photo op that was targeted for a magazine feature article or cover.

It totally rips me a new one and there must be a pill for this somewhere.

There must be an antidote. Modern science, please help me. I beg of you.

Thank you for letting me air this out and please don't hold it against me.

prairiegirl said...

Heavy Sigh

Gah. Aaaarrghhh.

Okay, breathe. Breathe. Sorry, a few spasms there.

I really do have to wonder if Jake was there, Special. They did a couple of full table scopes and I looked really hard but I did not see him. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he pulled out after hearing she was going to be there.

And things come up. Things happen. It's not a disaster that he wasn't there or anything. If he wasn't there. Hey, maybe he was at the San Francisco site. There were a couple of speakers in San Francisco; I don't know if they had phone calls being taken there or not, though.

It was kind of cool to try and name everyone, lol. My sister & I were snapping our fingers left and right. "Oh!! That's...uh...uh..." and "Oh, there's so & so!!" It was a veritable who's who and quite interesting to see.

I really liked Beyonce's version of Halo. I like that song anyway but she sang it really differently and changed the lyrics to focus on Haiti. It was beautiful.

you need to get a life, seriously said...

I hope you took time off from your "outrage" PG to make a donation to the red cross.

c said...

I dout Jake pulled out because her name appeared on the list at the last minute, that is immature and childish. I think he is a better man than that. Put all things aside for a good cause. Most of those stars are repped by CAA. Most likely they threw their names out their and then asked the actors after. Jake wasn't the only one, Renee Zweigler orginally was on the list and she wasn't there. Meryl Streep was listed and she wasn't there either but she did the PSA like Jake. Most likely Jake only agreed to do the PSA.

The only thing bad is thsat he has apattern of not showing up for some charity events, and the fact that Clint Eastwood and Matt Damon spoke live from SF and Jake was tweeted there getting coffee and going to yoga class doesn't look good.

Florida Tom said...

I wonder if at the end Jake just couldnt stand reese anymore. Maybe he couldnt stand to be in the same room wirh her anymore.

Personally I think he is back closer to Wilmington or he did meet up with Austin in San Fran. Maybe they will eventually buy a house there.

prairiegirl said...

Already made one donation last Sunday, 10:34, don't you worry about it. And there will be plenty of opportunities for more, believe me. This is a tragedy that, like the New Orleans hurricane, will not go away for years to come.

Always nice to have a stalker troll, isn't it? Except unlike a tick, you're not getting any blood out of me, 10:34. So why don't you get a life, unless you want to come to the Labor day gathering and join in the fun. Introduce yourself. Let's all meet you and see your face instead of the ever-changing name.

c said...

You must not think much of Jake Tom if you think he would be that childish. I don't think he commited to do the telethon, just the PSA. A number of others that were originally on the list were no-shows.

I think it looks good to have his name on lists but he really has no inyettion of showing up.He did the same thing the same 2 charity org 826 (sp?) he bailed on the ping-pong event and a few years earlier he was a no-show for the same org. in L.A. and was spotted at a concert in Boston.

I think he only goes to the Green Global events because he is a cook and one of their initives is growing organic foods, etc.

The ACLU thing is mostly because of his Mom.

I thought Jake moved East, or was it Venice? He has ben spooted in SF before. The last time was with Reese back in October, they were spotted at the SF airport, prior to that they were spotted in Berekley and a few times with Lance Armstrong when they were haging out. He must know people there just like he knows people in Venice.

I get the feeling that he is "rootless" that he really did sell his home in the HH hills. His father lives in W. Hollywood, I bet he stays with him a lot and stays with friends in Venice, etc.


If their is a BT, (I don't believe it) don't you think it's odd that he is always spotted solo, eating out, etc. in differentparts of of Cal.? If he had a child wouldn't he be home? Does he leave it with a nanny while he wanders around?

tr said...

There is no human baby.

prairiegirl said...

I don't think there's any way he would risk being seen out with BT.

That would be the end of it all and obviously something he wouldn't want since he just did a 2 1/2-3 yr bearding campaign. Why would he undo all of that by being seen with his child? Everyone would know it wasn't Reese's, that's for sure.

There is no way he can risk being seen out with BT unless he's ready to come out. And we know that isn't happening anytime soon.

barf said...

I know, anyone that believes otherwise is a fool. It's either a cabbage patch doll or a dog, LOL!!

I don't trust tweets, I bet he wasn't in SF yesterday, probably not even in CA.

prairiegirl said...

I'm not sure if that's really tr. Usually, tr's comments are much longer than that.

I have a feeling it could be a long day, lol.

barf said...

Reese woudn't beard for 2 1/2 years if there was a baby involved, give me a break.

You can't hide a baby. Jake is too immature IMO, he can barely take care of himself.

People that are in the closet don't plan making babies via surrogates, and the idea that there is another one concieved at the height of bearding is beyond dumb.

Ted is writing fanfic, he won't get into trouvle, just piss off a dew fangirls that's it. What are you going to do, report Ted to the gossip cop for lying, LOL!!

Oh Ted said...

Spesh, I didn't mention how much I love this post's artwork pics, especially the Electric Sunflowers and the first "ART" pic.

I thought it was a great telethon - I loved all of the music, especially John Legend's "Motherless Child" and Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris singing "Hallelujah". Madonna sang "Like a Prayer". I liked Beyonce's "Halo" too. All great, and means a lot that they could give of their time. I liked Steven Spielberg too.

I donated at work where they are matching funds. Hooray! I'm sure as PG says, everyone will have many opportunities to help, because people will need it for a long time to come. :)

destiny said...

I totally agree with everything you said about Reese PG. And the reason I mentioned my girlfriend is that she is very neutral on all this stuff, and if she had a bad reaction to her, well.....

And speaking of which, we watched the 30 Rock episode last night with Franco. What a hoot. And this morning my girlfriend turned to me and said, you know, I've always thought you were a bit nuts in talking about showmances and contracts and everything being planned out, and now she totally believes people do it! Just shows you how much power things like movies and shows have.

On a related note, also watched an episode with Cheyenne Jackson that followed. Also a very good episode, and I loved the way Fey and Baldwin were fighting over him as the only "real" man in the office--with Fey making out with him, and Baldwin going to sporting events and other "manly" events. No way that wasn't playing with HW's image of gay actors, especially since it ran with the Franco episode.

It also illustrates that there are people, shows, etc. that will support an out actor and use in other than gay roles.

destiny said...

I loved the music on the telethon too; especially Jay Z with Bono and the Edge backing him, and Dave Matthew with Neil Young. Thanks Oh Ted for Morris' name, I had no idea who that was with JT.

Neil was also great on Conan, and loved Freebird. Wasn't that Beck, a member of ZZ Top and a member of Cheap Trick backing up Ferrell?

I thought I had recorded them, but somehow I messed up and now do not have it on tape for posterity. :-(

destiny said...

Don't think that is TR either PG.

Oh Ted said...

I didn't know either, Destiny! I had to look it up. But it was a very nice version - I love that song whoever does it. I'm upset that I missed Neil Young and Dave Matthews tho! Also on Conan - that must have been something. Maybe we can find it on YouTube. :)

Cheyenne Jackson is great, would love to see more of him. What's this about Ben Whishaw too? He is beautiful.

destiny said...

Very interesting article about Ben Whishaw, thanks for the link. I've heard about that play Cock he was in too, didn't realize that's who was in it.

prairiegirl said...

I had to take a second look at Neil Young, oh Ted, but you sure are good at identifying musicians. I was just excited I identified Coldplay without a program, LOL.

Some of these newer bands I'm not near as good at identifying because since I watch nothing but Wake Up With Al now, I don't see VH-1 anymore in the mornings.

^^^ said...

On thin ice?! Why "on thin ice"?

Embarrasing said...

I wonder if at the end Jake just couldnt stand reese anymore. Maybe he couldnt stand to be in the same room wirh her anymore.

Personally I think he is back closer to Wilmington or he did meet up with Austin in San Fran. Maybe they will eventually buy a house there.


Tom I hope your whole personal existance is not wraped up into what JaKE and Austin does. You seem to cling so close to Jake's and Austin's events. I hope you have the strength to cope when this Jake, Austin, babytile 1 and 2 series comes to an end with the lie being exposed after being strung on for years. I really do, because it "will" come to an end. This does not mean that Jake is not gay or bisexual by no means imo. The rest is fiction.

And please stop blaming Reese for everything, Jake is a grown man.

Special K said...

"If I leave here tomorrow would you still remember me?"

I saw Ben Harper playing the slide guitar, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons and Beck playing Conan and Max and the band.

Conan Free Bird

Who is Will's lady Dawn who is with his child?

Neil Young was great and you could see how touched Conan was when he said Neil was the first to call him when he heard and told him he want to come play.

destiny said...

I think the guy in the hat between Gibbons and Beck is from Cheap Trick, don't know his name.

prairiegirl said...

BT makes people very, very nervous, that much is evident.

I'm not sure why either. Regardless of all the stuff that goes with his/her existence, I'm not sure why a baby is such a wild concept.

It's fascinating and it's intriguing to me.

Regardless of all the other stuff that goes into a BT discussion, why some get on here merely to try to convince some that BT cannot exist is intriguing.

Won't stop me whatsoever. In fact, just like the invalidity of Reeke, it only seems to only add more fuel on top of the fire.

Why? Why is someone so determined to squash any discussion, any such belief that BT exists???

bigfoot said...

No one is trying to squash any discussion PG, just stating a view that most think it's BS, that's all. You are free to believe anything you want. You are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill for reasons only you can explain.

Believe me, the thought doesn't make me or anyone else nervous.

Go ahead and keep believing, no one is stopping you but you shouldn't get bent out of shape and start accusing people of things just because they have an opposite view.

Atticus said...

There is no human baby.

Well it ain't mine.

Sophie said...

Not mine either

prairiegirl said...

***sigh***

Here I was getting ready to come on here and say that the idea of a BT is controversial and it apparently takes some nerve to get on here and say that one believes BT exists. I have wavered many times on the subject so I don't blame anybody for believing BT doesn't exist.

But of course, Big Foot/You Need to Get a Life/Chris/Lane/Popcorn/etc. who must sit 24/7 on here just waiting to pounce on anything I say, has already gotten their lick in.

Just as you are totally free to express on here that you don't believe, Tom or myself or anyone else is just as free to discuss it without being totally snarked at.

Whereas I was just questioning why, why, why, you have to get snarky.

I'd like to know where you get the idea I was trying to squash any discussion of an opposite view.

There's a big difference between stating one's view and stating it while calling somebody else's opinion BS. <<<--- And that is what's rude.

"sightings" said...

The last time was with Reese back in October, they were spotted at the SF airport, prior to that they were spotted in Berekley and a few times with Lance Armstrong when they were haging out.

Yeah, right. LOL

Oh Ted said...

Freebird was great!

(((((Conan and Will))))

Great finish with the cowbell. :)

It sure did look like The Guy from Cheap Trick with them.

I also saw a scruffy Rob Pattinson speaking from London - what a nice speaking voice he has.

prairiegirl said...

Let me also add Former/ecf to that list.

That's why I don't believe these latest sightings either. Yoga? Didn't he used to go to yoga classes with her? I don't remember him going before. Poor Jake must really miss her since he is still doing the same things when they were together like yoga, LOL!!!

prairiegirl said...

I am finding all these tweets interesting, too. I don't think I believe the yoga thing either.

Hey, oh ted, I checked out that Ben Wishaw (sp?). Very cool. I've never heard of him, though. I'll have to read up on him.

Oh Ted said...

The first thing I have seen him in, I think, PG, was Bright Star. He was very good in it, as was Abbie Cornish. He's beautiful in that period costuming. :)

I can't rule out BT - it's almost seeming like someone said previously - J&A take turns with public appearances and one stays home with the kids. :)

Advocate said...

The Advocate's Gayest Cities in America. And guess what, San Diego is California's gayest city - not LA, not SF. San Diego, where btw Adam Lambert and his cool parents are from. Take that, homophobic pseudo-liberal Hollywood.

prairiegirl said...

Well, it's a hotbed topic, that's for sure. I don't blame anybody for not believing because there certainly hasn't been any physical evidence.

But the fact that Ted won't let up on it is enough for me. And like Destiny said, there have been a couple of odd things happening in the past.

Would you believe the last of the Christmas stuff is being put away today? LOLLLL!! And the last of my winter decorations have been unveiled once again. I get to enjoy them for one week and then it will be time for Valentine's.

There is no human baby.


Atticus said...

Well it ain't mine.


LOL Atticus would have a litter not just one.

Atticus wonders said...

Uh oh did I get one of those random males I humped in the park pregnant?

eastcoastfan said...

NO, No No. you have the wrong person PG. I did not make any comments. I read the comments every now and then.
I don't believe in Babytile though.
You are free to believe.

Vanity Fair said...

Right, you just happened to be here when PG made that comment.

Irritated said...

Please STOP accusing assorted people of being troll posters. You do not have proof who exactly is posting, and the wrongly accused have no way to defend themselves. Nothing good can come of it, so just STOP it, please.

trolling said...

You do not have proof who exactly is posting

Troll posts are proof enough and trolls should be called out.

Long Time OMG poster said...

I will stop it when people stop picking on and attacking regular posters. There is a nice way to disagree (stating your position and why you differ) and singling out someone by name and trying to intimidate them into not posting, which is what bigfoot and many of the others of similar ilk are trying to do.

They are not trying to express their opinion, otherwise they would just say it and leave it at that. Instead it is PG that or Destiny or Tom this followed by a request that they stop saying or doing something.

Vanity Fair said...

You're just pissed because we all know who you are, no matter what name you post under.

bullshit said...

Oh so when a troll post is made by whoever, you have solid proof to link the troll person to a name of someone who used to post here in the past?

^^^ said...

You can't hide after years of posting.

Irritated said...

Please tell me who "Advocate" is. Also "Atticus" and "Vanity Fair" and "Oh Ted". If you ~know~ who the trolls are, then you have to ~know~ who everyone is. Go ahead, I'm waiting for your proof - tell me their real names, or at least their past Google names.

Missing u said...

Wonder where the hell passingby is. She/he must be busy looking for all kind of info on Sophin. Amazing how some people accuse tbs of being too much into Jake and Austin and they are so into Reeke and Sophin.

No one needs to prove anything to you. Stop trolling and no one will call you troll here.

Irritated said...

You people can be very hateful. All I say is to stop making blind accusations when the accused has no way to defend themselves, and I get called a troll? Wow.

Don't bother to reply to me. I have better things to do on a Saturday than to quibble with ignorant misanthropes.

prairiegirl said...

Well, I was just getting ready to get on here and apologize upon reading Irritated's statement and before I can do that, they come on here and in one comment, say people can be hateful and then end it with calling people ignorant misanthropes.

LOL, I learned a new word. Not that I would ever use misanthropes because that looks like too hard of a word to use in casual conversation. My tongue would probably get all twisted up.

I do apologize for calling people out by name. Although it is a fact that I have been trolled by them. Oh yes, I have. But it's still not a good thing for me to do. It gets tiresome, though, Irritated, being somebody's personal pinata while they continually pick on every little thing you say. I don't think you would like it either, see how you scattered as soon as someone called you by name? Do you get a feel for how annoying it is?

Only difference with me is, I'm not going to scatter.

That's it!!! The Christmas stuff is officially, and I do mean officially put away. Oh man, I just remembered something that needs to go out. lol. Well, it's almost all gone.

And some don't. That's Why we spend all of our days on WFT and OMG. We love to dish Jake while we eat high calorie bonn bonns with the reomote in our hands. Right Prairiegirl, Tom?
Go somewhere else troll.
