Great Dalmuti.

most emphatically signs the 'No way in Hell I'm Going to RHPS' list

I've seen it more than once already, no need to watch it again.

EvanMoore · Post by **EvanMoore** » Thu Apr 04, 2002 9:35 pm

Since I won't be there and have little say, my opinion doesn't matter, but....

What is the fascination with RHPS? I've seen it many times and while the first once or twice was amusing, the next viewings (I think I rank in with only a few dozen, less than 50, at least) were pretty meaningless wastes of a Friday night...

So, what is the fascination?

I'm not knocking it, I'm just curious why people find it so fascinating. In the 70s and 80s, it was, at least, bringing a lifestyle few people were aware of (or, perhaps more accurately, admittedly aware of) to the forefront of mainstream life--but now that homosexuality and transvestitism are so much a part of the mainstream world, what is the fascination?

It's the people you go with and the people you meet there. I could see it being really boring if you went every week for months with the same people and saw the same cast. I haven't been with any of the Bulldrekkers though, and I wager a few of them would be quite fun to go with.

I'm not an extrovert, but I love being an extrovert; getting dressed up, drinking a bit and going to the show, meeting new people and then going out to IHOP, flirting with the waitresses and then going home as the sun is rising is just great fun.

I'm down with goth chicks in corsets and fishnets, too. Fuck, I'm down with myself in fishnets.

I wouldn't do it every week; aside from the fact that there's no local cast it would mean I would have to buy some boots of my own, and I don't have the budget for that. <g>

Edit: And the music fucking rocks on toast.

Count me in!

Damn...more shit to pack. Must make mental list: fishnets, corset, rice, t.p., spray bottle, umbrella, etc.

When I was 17 and, as Adam put it so eloquently...

I'm down with goth chicks in corsets and fishnets, too.

Of course, when I was viewing it, they weren't "goth chicks". But, anyplace that women wear underwear (and little else) and don't mind allowing a young, nearly-virginal man to cop a feel or two is worth the attraction.

At least, that's how I felt at 17.

That fascination passed, however. I became more interested in committed relationships--and they were still wanting to flaunt their ass-ets.

(I have to be honest... After viewing the picture archive... The idea of Jaded in...

Damn...more shit to pack. Must make mental list: fishnets, corset, rice, t.p., spray bottle, umbrella, etc.

...is rather appealing. <wink>

Dont get too excited there, what makes you think she is the one wearing those?

I look dead sexay in fishnet.

Cazmonster · Post by **Cazmonster** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 3:56 am

I so have to buff up so I can go as Rocky. Failing that, I guess I can borrow a leather jacket and go as Eddy.

If there is one universally true fact about myself, no matter how hot he/it looks, if it ain't a "she" underneath it all, I find it difficult to consider it "sexy".

No offense, but it's just not my cup of tea.

Evan

Cazmonster · Post by **Cazmonster** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 5:26 am

If you don't like the mansex, then it's probably best you avoid the show...

Thorn · Post by **Thorn** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 5:52 am

Rocky Horror:

Saturday, midnight, at the Majestic (that's the downtown one, screw the other - we want the one near booze and the gyro place that's open til 4 a.m.)

I've only been a couple times, so it'd be great.

And Caz dear? You really should just go as Eddy. I mean, really... with that mane.....

Jackal · Post by **Jackal** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 7:42 am

Ok, lame idea maybe but...

How about a bulldrek version of clue? (no, we don't get to really kill someone). Just an idea that popped into my head and with this bunch it could get interesting.

I'd love to go see RHPS, myself. I've seen it once. On video. So... I'm there.

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 1:21 pm

Am I terribly lame if i don't know what RHPS is. I've heard a lot about it...but...*shrug*

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 1:57 pm

Heh-heh. We have some virgins among us... :evil

Wildfire · Post by **Wildfire** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 2:46 pm

Deev: You should see it at least once. Its completely non-sensical, full of (I guessing here) related audience participation gags (Toast? wtf?). Its like MSTing a bad movie while on crack, and its amusing once or twice. For some reason, people also seem to have this compulsion to dress up as their favorite character in the movie, too.

I personnaly only found it mildly funny, but I'm assuming it would be not quite as bad with 10 or 15 bulldrekkers around though.

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 2:59 pm

Yes, it very much depends on who you go with or who you meet there.

and my personal favorite!

*throws his hands to the right*

Asshole!

*throws his hands to the left*

Slut!

The character proposed a toast, so, therefore, toast.

[I've not actually seen this at the performances I was at]

Sort of like this compulsion to dress up at a ren faire.

300 people, in unison... "HI BITCH!"

Cazmonster · Post by **Cazmonster** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 10:49 pm

I was Rocky at the second show I went to. There was nothing quite so cool as running around the audience hall being chased by a female Dr. Frankenfurter. The screams from the audience made the night.

The most fun at the show is talking to the characters, oh and busting cherries...

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 11:16 pm

Throwing rice around...
Shooting water guns during the rainstorm...
The drag races before the show...

Good times.

Board games would be good. Anyone?

(can you say HeroQuest?)

(Or similar games?)

"Heer Oh Kwes T"

Yes, I can.

Instant Cash · Post by **Instant Cash** » Sat Apr 06, 2002 1:49 am

On that note

Anyone have Talisman?

Would anyone be willing to /sell/ their talisman to me?

Cazmonster · Post by **Cazmonster** » Sat Apr 06, 2002 3:06 am

Talisman is good for busting up couples and friends for long periods of time. My brother has a set that he will not ever part with...

I love the Warrior. He's so deliciously simple... "I like swords."

Crazy Elf · Post by **Crazy Elf** » Sat Apr 06, 2002 4:06 am

Make explosives, it's really not that hard and destroying people's mailboxes never gets old.

The other game you can play is "Koalas". In this game, you point at a monument of some sort, and you yell, "Koala!" then you clim on top of the thing or hang off it somehow, while someone else takes a photo.

This game isn't only fun, but gives you many a photo for the BD pictre archive also. Play Koalas, you slack bastards.

Threadbare · Post by **Threadbare** » Sat Apr 06, 2002 10:40 am

Actually, wouldn't "kill doctor lucky" be like the bulldrek version of Clue? You could just pretend that 32 was the good doctor.

Jestyr · Post by **Jestyr** » Sat Apr 06, 2002 10:47 am

Can I be the _bad_ doctor then?

* Jes gets out the lab coat and stern glasses and clipboard and alligator clamps and riding crop... er, scratch that last.

MooCow · Post by **MooCow** » Sat Apr 06, 2002 3:02 pm

XENOPHILE!! The first X-Rated collectible card game. It was done by Phil Foglio, based loosely on his comic by the same name. Very funny game.... I'll have to see if I can scrounge up more cards....

Actually, anyone got Chez Geek? Or am I going to have to buy in in time?

MooCow · Post by **MooCow** » Sun Apr 07, 2002 1:10 am

Jestyr: Oh yes, I have Chez Geek. I have both expansions as well. And I think we'll have to make up some special Occupations and Activities that are BD specific.

Also, Does anyone like chess? Anyone got a chess set they can bring? I was thinking about picking up a copy of Knightmare chess. It's a cool game by SJG. Basicly it's a set of 64 cards that alter the normal rules of chess. Pretty cool.

It's mostly beforehand than during, silly.

Anyway, I have Nuclear War and Ebola Monkey Hunt, which are both fun, in a backstabbing sort of way.

I thought the consensus was to just wait for you to drug yourself?
