And I have been a member of PETA since the early 70s my own self. I have used the line "right to arm bears" myself as a joke line, but it really does fail as public policy. And despite my failure to be clear it was humor, try rereading what I posted again - the age of irony may be dead, but please, how could the weak and feeble and insufficient attempt at humor not at least hint itself?

That's actually pretty funny, Vince! As much as I loathe hunting, I can appreciate a good sick joke! > I am sure SugarCamouflagePants will make an appearance! Absolutely. I still have one camouflage uniform left from my old Air Force days. It hangs on the wall in my office, as a reminder of who I was, once. I have combat boots, too (although they are actually Mary's, from HER old days in the AF).

Joni Only people - I owe you an explanation perhaps - in the NJC world we have been discussing hunting at length so my first post here was coming from that thread, trying to make humor, but if you are Joni only you didn't read that read and thus my Joni Fest hunting proposal probably seemed stupid, out of the blue, incongrous, inapropriate, dumb, insensitve, idiotic, and whatever else. Sorry (including sorry that I am all of these things)! It should have been NJC because that is the only way it made sense. Again, my apologies.

I wonder if the food is any good and if they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner and are reasonably priced? What a thought... to meet her. I'm so initially shy around people, but maybe I wouldn't be shy around her. I don't feel like she is a stranger to me although I am to her. Nice thought.

I never thought I would say it either until someone sort of pushed the last CD on me, and wow, what a super talented musician. He makes me laugh out loud sometimes. He also pushes my buttons occasionally, but I love that he's out there pushing buttons instead of just singing about sex and booze like most of his competitors. The new CD is fantastic, love the new single about his daughter. David NP 1 Thing, Amerie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 19:36:50 -0500 (EST) From: "Gerald A.

My view on going to the grill is.......... I think you would find that if she showed up, almost every other person in the grill probably was there for the same reason. The food might be wonderful, the atmosphere brilliant and there may be tired waitresses and grumpy chefs and it might be a bit like living in an Edward Hopper painting.... and it might be tacky and it might be lovely... Whilst it would be an honour for any of us who really get her music (or even some of it) to meet her and get the chance to chat I doubt it would be an honour for her. What do we have in common? what is it about our lives that we think would be so rivetting for her to know? Do we assume that because she has touched our lives she needs to know about it? Over the years just how many other people will have done this? .........gone up to her in a peaceful moment to unload their Joni story? Imagine what that must feel like? There you are....in the local diner...........you are there having a quiet cup of coffee. You have spent the morning busy being about your life and its the way you like it.. not driven by the passions of the past, nor encumbered by contractural obligations. Even the worst moments of your young life are no longer a burden. You have achieved a comfortable balance of notoriety and anonymity. You can go about your life fairly comfortably and go for a cup of coffee in your local diner. It is maybe a sunny morning with slants of sunlight and slabs of fat on the thighs of the waitress and there are far too many pancakes on your plate......... you feel comfortable and in a wonderfully observational frame of mind. The sun is cut from your view by a person who clears their throat and its a sinking feeling that makes you grab your cup of coffed and stiffen your shoulders as you know you are about to hear......."Excuse me Miss Mitchell, or may I call you Joni... I feel I know you so well, you see............ your music has meant so much to me over the years ......... and you can barely manage a smile make your escape. I have had some fairly inside access to some pretty famous musicians via my last marriage and (by all reports) they "put up" with fans who come to gigs, and the ones who demand an autograph or a photo.... that is fair game. They have paid money for a show and getting to "be with" is a fair exchange (if they are quick and dont think you are a friend, or share any sort of bond because they have their photo taken). What was hated and feared was the "OH MY GOD!, YOU?, HERE?" sort of "chance encounter" which had been planned, and smacked of stalking. Cornering an object of such reverence in a place in which they thought they might be safe is, to me, just not on. WE all know how we feel when we get the telephone canvas as we are about to eat, the "have you read our version of the world" callers to our door.Those are random invasions and can be politely refused. To go to where you expect someone to be, in order to see them and maybe approach them, would make the person feel cornered and probably threatened. It is also really difficult for celebs to be rude (as we might be) in case its a press set up so that bad publicity results... So they are doomed to having to put up with us. I will not be part, ever of anyone's discomfort. I would never ever approach her... If her car broke down out side my house and she came to ask for help I might let on I knew her but only as she was driving away........ But then that is me...
