The thing you do to avoid housework, should have just gone to the pub!

Oh the horror of that series. I actually managed to see two episodes, both in French, but they just didn't make any sense at all.

My dear, always choose the pub :D

I saw the parrot clip of that on youtube, it was hilarious, would have liked to have seen more.
 
The parrot clip was in English, it was complete nonsense, but I was highly amused. I've still got it bookmarked and watch it every now and then.
 
So how is Shasta McNasty? I never watched the show when it was on, though I still remember the promos on UPN. I thought the name was stupid, but memorable. :lol: Is it any good?

McNasty was indeed a very inspired title. If I were you, I would trust the poor unhappy souls that got to see it and stay away from it as much as human possible.

To those that don't like MY nickname for Carmine, so what!

I'm surprised that one word in a whole sentence, one word in a whole post can affect people so much. I can see why so many have left since I've been here, that's three years this year. I post every now and then, since NY isn't on here in Aus, there's not much point in me leaving comments, so I only post about Carmine, and what he's up to.

Top - can't say I remember being told several times to stop, I only vaguely remember once where you may have said you didn't like it and could I not do it again, several years ago. Considering I only ocassionally call him that, and that it's my nickname for him, there's been times I've used it, even recently, and no one has said anything. It's not hurting anyone by me calling him that. I'm showing my affection for him in my way. I'm surprised there's a big thing about it now.

Jolein - It's hardly an insult to him, I adore Carmine, and if I want to ocassionally call him Carmie then I will. It's also not disrespectful in any way shape or form. You're the only one that I've seen whinge about it. If you don't like it, tough! Get over yourself.

This thread/forum is for showing our love for the actors we most adore. For me, that's Carmine, that's my nickname for him, and in no way do I disrespect, accuse, insult, or am rude to him. Unlike some of the past sexual innuendos that have gone on that could be seen as insulting, and have gone unnoticed, and unmentioned.

There are many times that posts have pissed me off or annoyed me, and I've been disgusted by some of the crap that goes on between people in the past, but I don't bother with it and move on. If a simple nickname gets you angry then I say that says more about you than anything else.

Get a life people. If someone's nickname for an actor annoys you, get over it. We're all here to shower love and adoration on our favourite actors, so a nickname is hardly an offence to get you knickers in a knot over.

For God's sake people! It's ONLY a nickname!

tiara, nicknaming someone you don't know isn't appropriate and is frankly juvenile. You want to do it elsewhere, fine. But you're being asked now in no uncertain terms to knock it off here.

As for your attitude towards others who don't like it, telling people to "get a life" and "get over yourself" isn't appropriate. If you post in this manner again, you'll get an official warning.

Let's get back on topic, folks. Thanks.

Hi first post just dropping in because I DO know carmine and although I don't nickname (nor do I hang out with him constantly we are NOT best friends, just casually acquainted) I find this whole thing funny and so would carmine. I don't think there is anything inappropriate about nicknaming a person you don't know. And trust me hon, carmine would not have a problem with it. He would actually find it funny that people are putting him on such a high pedastol (sp) as to even make it a point to get heated about. Personally all the things that people say about the different actors on this site (NONE of whom I have met by the way, I'm not trying to come off as some hollywood insider) I'm surprised the person warned was warned for something so trivial and people actually got their panties in a bunch. Carmine is not the type that likes to be put on a pedastol. It's uncomfortable for him. So adoration is nice but he likes to feel like a real person not a worshipped thing.

No I can't give you a ton of proof that I know him because private pics are just that PRIVATE (get your mind out of the gutter I don't have THOSE kinds of pics, as I've said before I don't know him in that way). So believe me or not just go with your gut instinct and remember he's a regular guy and not some holy statue.

Case In Point. I originally got this account I don't know how long ago specifically to post something to bust his balls and have him read it. I couldn't figure out something funny enough that didn't have too many inside jokes as to have people scratching their heads and wondering what's up with the weird post. So I've never posted and probably won't again. But I do read the board from time to time and just HAD to comment on this silliness. Take care and God Bless.

P.S. Carmine took it in perfect stride when I kept slipping up and calling him Carmen when I first got to know him. He didn't get all bent out of shape and neither should you.
 
BeautifulSong,
Thank you kindly for your response but I do think you are missing the point here.
I do believe you when you say he wouldn`t mind but the point is that most people who post here don`t know him personally and there for it is inappropriate to give him a nickname or shorten his name.
It is called respect to someone.
I doubt that anyone here puts him on a pedestal or holy statue either.
Most of us respect the guy for what he does and yes,sometimes are very shallow but all in good fun and with respect.

Miss Blue,that is evil but funny:lol:
 
I wasn't going to post on this, as it's really none of my business, but have found myself thinking of this a few times since it happened. The girl who originally posted "Carmie" is Australian and she did point out that this was normal practice where she comes from. Every Australian that came to train with my company called me "Frannie" which I hated with a passion, but I didn't say anything as it was done in an endearing way and is just part of their culture.

It is of course acceptable to say that as this is a US site, we should all adhere to US values while we're here. I thought it was (unintentionally, of course) culturally insensive to suggest it was silly, childish or juvenile, when it is something even a 90 year old Aussie would do. Being a middle-aged British woman, I find it weird that we all call the actors, who we don't know, by their first name, rather than give them their full title. It seems overpersonal, but I'm starting to get used to it. Of course younger people here are no longer so old-fashioned and will find it normal practice.

No offence meant to anyone, I do find it facinating how different people from different cultures view things and how each culture can take differing conclusions when watching the same scenes in this or any other programme. That's why the blue flu discussion was so interesting to me.
 
Maybe it is a cultural saying but if it gets to the point were it is annoying and people have asked to stop it,then it has nothing to do with culture.
And that is what happend in this case with the nickname.

But I`ll leave it to the mods to step in futher before it gets out of hand and that is not what this discussion thread is about.

So,to get back on topic.
What is a role you would love to see him in,movie,serie or theatre.

Personally,I would like to see him a theatre role or as a musical fan a musical role.
Maybe something like Rent.
 
Not sure, I've never really thought about it, it's the character Danny that interested me rather than the actor. The only other thing I've seen him in that I liked was the film 'In Enemy Hands' and he had the same qualities in that, sensitive and insecure. In this show I prefer him being a cop, with Flack, so maybe more of a police procedural, though I'm sure he wouldn't want to be typecast and would probably avoid a similar show.

It's not about putting Carmine on a pedestal, it's about maintaining some decorum here. And the official warning comment stemmed from tiara's comment to jolein, not her use of the silly nickname.

Can we drop the issue now? Thanks.

Back on topic...

So what was so bad about Shasta McNasty?

It's not so bad, I have managed to download a couple of episodes (in English this time) and I quite like it. The humour is somewhat juvenille and laddish but thats fine with me :lol:.
