 		An original thought, please???
OK, geez.

We got:

Caretaker on the RK forum.
Game Care Taker on Hollywood Haunts
caretakerSPLATblackvault.com on Acheron

Are these three separate instances of the same 'cool' name, or are we all imploding in on ourselves again?? Confused

Nice to see that we're all so stoopid that we all need to be taken care of. Excuse me while I go look for a teet. Somebody hold my hand though, I'm skaird.

</sarcasm>

What I also see is a post attacking another poster and that is uncalled for. For being such an active member of this board, you should know better.

 		/me holds hands with everyone and sings "Kumbaya".

You know, all of us have bad days occasionally. None of us is immune from the occasional cranky virus which makes the rounds. But really, we're all friends here.

Right?

Right?

Hello?

Anyone?

Cool

 		just my two cents...

I like PM much better than caretaker. Caretaker sounds spooky and reminds me of graveyards. Wink

 		re: caretaker vs PM
I also don't like the caretaker reference... having been the caretaker for terminally ill family members and now broken back hubby it reminds me too much of reality.... aren't we looking for Alternative Reality?!?! Cool

Or it implies I'm sick and need caretaking.... me sick?!?! Oh! That's right a few times you folks have had to remind me to take my meds Shocked voices what voices?!?!? don't you see that picture behind the picture that I see?!?!? Embarassed

As for PM if they are manipulating anyone's strings I think it would be the in-game folks.... they have never pulled my strings.... yanked my chain a few times perhaps or is that the paranoia sneeking in?!?!? hmmmm which color pill do I take for that again? Confused

If you folks are done singing, could you pass the marshmellows and let's have a few somemores .... when out of meds chocolate works wonders! Laughing

 		I prefer "Evil Telepathic Social Engineer, Master Internet Spy, and All-Around Insidious Controller And Cruel Manipulator Of All Character And Game-Player Actions Moo Hah Hah", but I suppose the old standby, "CEO Of Disney", would work just as well.

 		Ya know ozy, after Eisner's comments after the Thunder Mountain accident a few days ago, I just may be coming around to your point of view.

Sounds more like someone's holding a grudge.

 		As long as the caretaker's name isn't Ingrahausen, I don't care what ARG they are a part of.

Now, if the Undertaker was a part of an ARG, I'd be scared. Those WWE wrestlers are a mean bunch!
