I remain impressed with how well you turn otherwise standard issue events and their details into "poetry in motion".
(Heh... I originally typed 'standard' as 'tsandard', reminding me that we watched a Frasier episode called "A Tsar Is Born" last night....)
thank you, Inquiry! Hell, I even went back and edited some typos after you said that :)
On Frasier, are you elluding to YOU being a/the Frasier character of The Midnight, a sportcoat-wearing "well to do" propped divinely on a stool - sarcasm and quips and clever one-liners for ~bartender (Woody Harrelson)?
If so, I'm as straight forward and unbecoming as Cliff Claven, albeit with less steady work :D
The only thing I have in common with Frasier is a propensity for getting things - well, interpersonal situations - as mathematical-inverse incorrect as possible, then innocently running with that misunderstanding to my own *online* (AFK har har) peril with so-called reckless abandon.
But, wow, I think you might be onto something with that Cliff theory.
So where's Sam/Carla/Woody/Norm/Coach/Diane/Rebecca (did I miss someone? It's been a while...) in this mix?
Of course, now you got me thinking a fun way to do online spaces might be for people to take on characters of a given sitcom, and then periodically change the sitcom/characters from time to time.
But I suppose that ain't too (or sufficiently, at any rate) SMOL. That would require all kinds of time/dedication to the space.
But it might be a "giant leap for community kind", if you will. Maybe pretending to be a well-known character would be easier and/or more practical than for everyone to have to figure out who everyone "is" (for "being themselves"..), which we really don't have time for - and I think it shows in terms of "community" online generally being "in name only".
Oh... and thank you for reminding me it's time to watch "Natural Born Killers" again....
I like The Midnight as it is, not an RPG haha. Though I remember someone from here linking to their site, a.slow.cab and it had a shortform confessional style to it - like a personal microblog in a Taxicab Confessions sort of way.
Who did Danson play? I know he was the "star" the main bartender, but what was his characters name? And Coach, isn't that just the character Coach from the show Coach? Or is Coach from Cheers Frasier's dad in the show Frasier? I do not know. Maybe I am thinking of that brute-looking son of a bitch from Poltergeist which did the show Coach?
And yea, if Midnight becomes an RPG, I call Harrelson, lmao! Only I'll be a Mickey-serving Mickey in homage to Natural Born Killers :D
Danson played Sam.
Coach was the bartender.
I'm too old to know what an RPG is. :-)
Since people can be wildly different ages, meaning unfamiliarity with favorite "real" shows, perhaps someone invents an overall scenario/locale, as well as a characters with basic descriptions of their character attributes, "real" people sign up to play those character in accord with their understanding of those attributes, and run with informing those attributes.
The only rule is you have to be the character you've signed up for.
Or is that (overall) what an RPG is?
omg
