The Martin WooHoodStock Thread

[starlover]

Back at work now...only today and tomorrow left and then finally VACATION!

And since my project ended and I'm wrapping things up at the office...I feel the need to be on GW

Morning Woohoos!
My throat feels a little better. I can talk for some time without croaking. It doesn't hurt near as much as yesterday, but now, the back of my throat is itchy. :/

*hugs* My throat hurts as well...but that's from all the talking I did the last few days

Jann, good to have you back in Atlanta! I can't believe you're going home next Monday. Where has the time gone?

I have no idea...but it flew by. Can't wait to go back and see my family and friends again! My entire week is already booked

It should be completely gone by then I should think

I certainly do hope so!

Both my grandfathers fought during WWI, my father and five uncles fought in WWII. They all told us stories, some funny, some horrendous, and like I said I grew up with war films - so I guess I'm more used to it being shown and discussed openly. I know how awful it was, but I also know (and am very proud of) the spirit, grit and will that pushed people onwards and helped them to survive.

I agree, but in my family it was almost always a topic to not talk about...after grandpa died we got a few things from him during the war(his tags, a razor that kind of stuff) but in general he never talked about it.

Grandma on the other hand said later on that she thought the Germans weren't that bad. They were always nice when they came in the bakery of her parents....I got from her later on in life a little German dictionary that she used to understand the German soldiers.

It's just interesting to see how different people go about it. I'm just in general not a war-movie kind of person; I prefer peace and love.

But good to hear you always heard stories about it from your family.

I fully understand that not everyone has had the same experience, and that the scars of war can be passed down through the generations and colour people's views and feelings.

So true!

Indeed they did, but I do get what you mean *hugs*

*huggles back*

My fathers dad was in the Navy during WWII - he was stationed in the Pacific, but I really know very little about his time there mostly because he live in another state so we didn't see him often. He was a cook and he never really got used to cooking for small amounts of people, so there was always a ton of left overs when he made his chicken and noodles. My dad has his recipe book and it says stuff like 'Feeds 100' or something.

There was also mention that he was on one of the boats that came in after the battles on the islands and did the clean up and recovery. That could not have been fun.

My dad was also born the day before Hitler invaded Poland and started the whole thing (though in Europe, it was the day of - Sept 1, 1939) so he has always been a WWII buff. He was always watch WWII movies and documentaries, so it was just a normal thing for me growing up. I guess his fascination has rubbed off on me a tiny bit.

[llp]

All though I enjoy movies of any kind as long as they are written well....many people don't like to remember their experiences with the war (and it ended 66 years ago). My father would never talk about the war. He was in the Coast Guard and stations both off the Aleutian in Alaska and the Pacific. He was on a smaller boat that would go along side any boat that was damaged and remove injured sailers. Apparently he must have seen some pretty brutal stuff. About the only 3 things he ever said was everyone got a ration coupon for Coke and Beer. 1) He used to trade his beer coupon for someone with a Coke coupon. 2) They would rescue the beer and cokes before the sailers (think this was a joke????) and 3) Caesar Romero was also in the Coast Guard and stationed where ever my father was.
But as long as they don't show alot of blood and severed limbs.....I will watch. And I'll watch anything the Sanctuary people put out here.

Poor, poor woman... *shakes head* The things they make you do!

I have to agree. Especially about the adorable part.
She does that a lot! ;-)

I think we're about to start a WooHoo Ship Battle and I do blame Normandy for that. War is evil :-S :-P
Or... call it a WooHoo Ship Love Fest.

I just miss the old days of S/J Shipping, when people opposed to the Ship were just icky. :-P

''Nad kicked my paperwork''.
It's the new ''My dog ate my homework''

1. Yes. I suffer so...
2. Adorable indeed! Do you think she practices in front of a mirror?
3. War is only evil if people don't agree with your point of view. *blinks*
4. Yeah! We are way too polite on this thread. Where is the mudslinging? The temper tantrums? The walking out in a huff? The broken friendships? Come on people! Man up!
5. Dear Mario and Anna, Bree could not finish her paperwork yesterday because Nad kicked it so please excuse her tardiness. She will do the paperwork at a future date. Sincerely, Bree's Dad

Blame Amanda! We're just trying to live up to her 'hilarious' image of us ;-)

And you let us sympathize with you? :-D

Well make up your mind - do you want us to have time or be sober? I doubt you can have both ;-)

'Inadvertently' is about right. I didn't even see you do it

You only have to say the word 'Martinpicspam' and I'm there :-D It's like 'abracadabra' ;-)

1. *sighs dramatically* It's so hard to live life when you are placed on a pedestal.
2. At the time you were sympathizing I really was buried under a mountain of paperwork. Not my fault my boss forces me to drink.
3. have time or be sober? I will have to go for "have time"
4. We're sneaky like that. Converting people to our ship one WooHoo at a time.
5. Martinpicspam! I guess I will have to provide the Amanda Picspam. So little time so many demands.

I'm only here for a moment so I'm only going to comment

Jumble - a list? All you need it some money, (passport too I guess), a very large empty wine glass, a napkin (to wipe away cupcake crumbs), and some No DOZE!!!! (Oh and a few changes of underwear may be a good idea, but I do have a washing machine/dryer.) :-D

Wine_Buyer -SOBRIETY- really - Jumble and me.....not a problem!

And as for Amanda's red hair in Normandy.....come on..... no one knows why -
IT WAS TO HONOR HER 'RED HAIRED' GRANDMOTHER WHO LIVED THROUGH THE WAR!

Bye all! :-) :-) :-)

*jumps up and down* I knew about the hair! I knew about the hair!! She was soooooo cute!
Um yeah. No problem with you and Jumble being sober. I'll take that to the bank.

I loved the red wig too!
And I completly agree on the spoilers. I know she was going to

Spoiler:

speak French

but it didn't stop me from squeeing inwardly when I heard her! She was indeed adorable. ^^

It's all about the love! (And the Hair. ;-))

I knew it too and was looking forward to seeing her red. I was not disappointed.
Adorable just seems to fit in this episode.
Yes! It is always about the hair! Acting? Writing? Directing? Cinematography? Who cares about all that? It's the hair i tell you! The hair!

Apparently Nad's efforts to disperse the ash cloud have worked! They're now saying that there is very little ash left and if it should come back to the UK there are plans in place to allow the planes to fly below it :-)

Who knew she had that much puff? :-D

Er...... that's the breath type of puff, not the ......... other kind

I do find it interesting that it's the younger Europeans that weren't so keen on Normandy because of the WWII story. I guess I was brought up with war films (and westerns ) so it didn't phase me - just a shame John Wayne couldn't make an appearance

Jumble said Puff!
Jumble said Puff in relation to Nad!
*hee*

[MidwifeOnBoard]

Hm. It seems a lot of people have been suffering this year that never have before, or as in my case, haven't suffered for a very long time. I think the changing weather patterns have caused it *nods*. Hope the new thing helps

It seems I've also managed to catch the upper respiratory infection that's going around, too. Going for a personal record this year! Oy.

I hope you find something that works for you! I've had allergies since I was a kid, but this year? Nothing. o.o I'm not sure I understand why, but I'm not complaining!

The new Rx takes a week to 10 days to work, apparently, but I'm willing to try anything at this point. This looking like a sad clown thing has gone on long enough!

[josiane]

Evening all

On Normandy and WWII things... Pretty much what Laurie said a few posts back Except I seem to have failed to quote it

*huggles all*
*bounces for Jumble going away and Jann going home*

[Jumble]

Finished work....it's only 6:47 in the morning! http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/a...ple/neener.gif
US Dollars.... http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/a...happydance.gif - I got lots of those things. I need to pick up a little Canadian money for food! http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/a...e/happy093.gif

Oh! I didn't think about Canadian money I'll just have to let you pay

1. *sighs dramatically* It's so hard to live life when you are placed on a pedestal.
2. At the time you were sympathizing I really was buried under a mountain of paperwork. Not my fault my boss forces me to drink.
3. have time or be sober? I will have to go for "have time"
4. We're sneaky like that. Converting people to our ship one WooHoo at a time.
5. Martinpicspam! I guess I will have to provide the Amanda Picspam. So little time so many demands.

1. Yes, it's quite hard to keep one's balance up there

I know Martin's having a hard time getting used to it

3. Oh good, because I'm sure we won't have time to be sober

5. Come on then, where's the Amandapicspam???

*jumps up and down* I knew about the hair! I knew about the hair!! She was soooooo cute!
Um yeah. No problem with you and Jumble being sober. I'll take that to the bank.

I knew it too and was looking forward to seeing her red. I was not disappointed.
Adorable just seems to fit in this episode.

I knew the reason behind the red hair too, and I really expected it to be redder than that

Yes! It is always about the hair! Acting? Writing? Directing? Cinematography? Who cares about all that? It's the hair i tell you! The hair!

No, you've got it wrong - it's ALL about the directing

Jumble said Puff!
Jumble said Puff in relation to Nad!
*hee*

Oh FCOL! Is there anything I can safely say around here?

[starlover]

*bounces* The creative team in the department, including me, just got a lovely message from a higher up for all of the creative content we made for the conference. Yey!

And why is it memorial day on monday? Me no likey!

*bounces along with Jann* Well done you! Very well done

What a lovely way to end your stay

[DutchIndeed]

Ohhhh! I LOVED IT!

But you made a mistake at the end...

He moves closer, so does she
passioniate, smoothly, meant to be.
She's gorgeous, he's strong, worth the wait.
The Beast and the beauty,
John, Helen, it's fate.

Fate? wasn't that yet another Sanctuary ship?

]Isn't that what Sam/Shep is for? ;D

ROLF!

Nah. SamShep is just Lust. Pure lust. *nods*

Er...... that's the breath type of puff, not the ......... other kind

See? See? I made the cloud go away and I'm a big little WooHoo now!
So. [channel Tesla] You're welcome. [/channel Tesla]

I do find it interesting that it's the younger Europeans that weren't so keen on Normandy because of the WWII story. I guess I was brought up with war films (and westerns ) so it didn't phase me - just a shame John Wayne couldn't make an appearance

Like others, I too had grandparents who were deeply involved in the war and it scarred them. I love war movies when they're accurate, but I get a bit 'meh' when the war gets 'sci-fied'. It was very well done, but it just bugged me a little

2. Adorable indeed! Do you think she practices in front of a mirror?
3. War is only evil if people don't agree with your point of view. *blinks*
4. Yeah! We are way too polite on this thread. Where is the mudslinging? The temper tantrums? The walking out in a huff? The broken friendships? Come on people! Man up!
5. Dear Mario and Anna, Bree could not finish her paperwork yesterday because Nad kicked it so please excuse her tardiness. She will do the paperwork at a future date. Sincerely, Bree's Dad

Let's see if I can count...

2. She must. There's being adorable and being *adorable* and AT just does it too well.
I bet she takes notes.

3 & 4. That's... true. Peace lovers can start riots too. We could... throw pillows and make stinky broccoli bombs and tickle people.

5. That's the way! Let's all blame Nad.
*blinks*
It might not work for me, though.

''I couldn't finish my paperwork, because I kicked it. ''

]Jumble said Puff!
Jumble said Puff in relation to Nad!
*hee*

*blinks again*

[Estrela]

Jumble thank you for the Martinpicspam! Just what I needed to brighten my morning.

Where's Bree? Now I need that Amandapicspam to brighten my afternoon.

[Jumble]

Darnit! You went and said the magic word again............

"Poor Jumble! She's going to run out of pics at this rate.........."

Don't worry Martin, I've got quite a few to go before I run out

My biggest problem is getting PB to behave long enough for me to post them

[llp]

MINE - MINE - no not him the license plate fool!

[LadyGalaxyJ]

5. Martinpicspam! I guess I will have to provide the Amanda Picspam. So little time so many demands.

*taps foot and waits from Amandapicspam*

I knew the reason behind the red hair too, and I really expected it to be redder than that

Me too! But the desaturated colors made it go away. Depending on the lighting, I was able to reddened it again in some pictures. It looks great on her. ;D

Fate? wasn't that yet another Sanctuary ship?

*facepalm* Why did I know that was coming? I shoud have added an A/N at the end.

5. That's the way! Let's all blame Nad.
*blinks*
It might not work for me, though.

''I couldn't finish my paperwork, because I kicked it. ''

You could always blame me. Getting side-tracked by the multi-shipper, rewriting poems and all.

EDIT: Oh look! Martin! Lovely. It'll have to do while I wait for the other one. *stares*
