Sharknado

[girlsmiley]

No no! You guys are giving the thread the proper Sharknado feel!

Internet bully!

 

[Laurel]

It's Shark. Ms. Nado if you're nasty.

Just because it was trending on twitter doesn't mean it was any cheesier or cooler than thousands of other B-movies.

Twitter is so fucking bizarre.

I know thats why Lorelie "says" she dug the movie.

For heaven's sake, my name is 7 letters long and you get it wrong every single time.

 

[Laurel]

I get PMs and emails to "Laura" every single day. The PMs are the most mystifying because they clearly had to write "Laurel" in the "To" field to get it to me, yet still start the PM with "Hey Laura".

This made me laugh. Audibly.

 

[KingOrfeo]

But do the tornado sharks have frickin' laser beams mounted on their heads?! Huh?! Do they?!

 

[Laurel]

That's not one but two possible potential Sharknadoes in this thread that spun themselves out into Guppynadoes.

Come on, people. Pick up the pace! Drama doesn't make itself!

 

[spacekowboy]

Are they ill tempered?

 

[Laurel]

Are they ill tempered?

Guppies or Sharknadoes?

Looooooolllll

The man who runs the International Shark Attack File at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the University of Florida campus says a new disaster movie about sharks and extreme weather is "total bulls#!t."

Asked this evening about the made-for-TV movie Sharknado that garnered much attention on Twitter tonight, George H. Burgess dismissed the possibility of the film's premise: that massive tornados could create water spouts in the Pacific ocean, suck up carnivorous sharks and dump them all over Los Angeles where they could attack humans and wreck general havoc.

"Total bulls#!t," he told Free Times via email. "Quote me."

Burgess teaches marine biology and researches shark attacks. He's working on an outreach project on shark awareness.​

Laura is hotter.

 

[Laurel]

Someone should PM her. And call her "Laurel". Just to even things a little.

 

[girlsmiley]

You're naughty, kitty mama.

 

[Laurel]

That's my one of my middle names! Laurel Shark Nado Naughty Who Killed Laura Ingles Not Very Wilder Literotica!

 

[Garnate]

Laurel is stirring the drama llama pot on the back of the Sharknado? Sounds like Thunder has the premise for his sequel! Still excited to see that one.

What's trending right now: "I made more money today than most of these people to in six months." #thingsloserssaytoboosttheirselfesteem

No. Trending now is I made more money today in four hours than you do in a week and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

This doesn't really belong here, but I'm going to put it here because it's Sharknado territory.

A day or two ago, a guy friend of mine told me he was scared because that his girlfriend "went crazy" because he forgot her two-year anniversary. Further discussion revealed that "crazy" meant crying, arguing, hanging up the phone, and refusing to answer texts for a whole night. You know, really crazy stuff.

And it got me to thinking. The vast majority of murders - committed by dudes. Violent bar fights - usually dudes. Arguments between strangers that end in a death - most often dudes (as both victims and perps). Gang rapes - dudes.

Yet if a woman cries or yells because she's upset - look out, that chick is craaaaaazyy.

I'm not saying all men are rapists and murderers. And there are plenty of mentally ill women (and men) in the world who do fucked up things in relationships, or do weird shit when they're angry/sad/etc.

What I'm saying is that simply having feelings does not make you "crazy". It makes you "human". And telling a friend or lover that they pissed you off is a healthy act.

But I think there are some dudes in the world who for various reasons aren't comfortable with expressed emotion, and they hang the "crazy" thing over women's collective heads. No woman wants to be That Crazy Bitch, so we just stuff our feelings down and stew in our unhappiness, feeling completely powerless.

And I think this is pretty fucked up.

I'll admit, I did it for years. And when I finally got fed up and started telling people, "Hey, that really hurt my feelings when you did that," the people who loved me were happy for me finally standing up for myself. And I was/am happier. And that's what's important.

And for fucks sake, if you miss an anniversary or event important to your girlfriend, take your figurative (not literal, because violence is wrong etc) lumps and move on. You may think her crying response is disproportionate, but she's the one who gets to decide her feelings - not you. And she can't decide yours.

 

[Adre]

Ya know, you're pretty damn smart.

 

[Laurel]

No way! I'm craaaazy... *roll eyes in opposite directions, makes squeaking noises, flaps arms like a chicken*

You're right. Substitute childish for crazy and bingo bongo bango you're done.

My feelings are valid too.

Luckily, being single I avoid the childish. 'Cept for my own ishness. Unavoidable.

I think some men just like use the term 'crazy' on women.

It's an easy escape for men who are lazy and pissed off with a chick.

Truth is, some of the most brilliant people were declared nuts by complete nut cases.

It says a lot, really. I just hope one day people really understand and apply the word accordingly.

Exactly! Childish, bratty, bitchy, demanding, selfish, whatever, sure. But that's different from "crazy". He could've told her he felt she was being a selfish bitch because that's what he felt. But telling her she's crazy, unstable, mentally ill - that's not cool. That's not how he feels. That's just an attempt to shut her down.

And it works brilliantly. Because if you call anyone "crazy" or say things implying they're unbalanced, then it pisses them off and they get more emotional - so you can then say, "See! You're crazy!" Or they're forced to shut up to disprove you. Either way, the accuser gets to disregard they accused's complaints completely. It's dirty fighting.

Women understand, chick. I'm telling you.

You're not alone.
