Events... seems more like an activity to me.. :)I mean... everything that costs energy is an activity. And from what I understand from the post is that people will be very active there!So I move that the post should be under ACTIVITIES
Arnovd, Jun 23, 2009 @ 22:16

I like what he said though. Single guys dont have a chance to get in. I saw that advertised in a club event here as well. I dont remember which but the poster said than men are only allowed in if they are accompanied by a woman.



Life is not fair sometimes ;)

Good point. Plus, if I understand the concept of an Eyes Wide Shut party correctly, a lot of the focus will be on members.
hayes, Jun 24, 2009 @ 00:18

@ Arno..

When last did you watch the movie? If memory serves, and yes...it does on occasion fail...there are quite a few who do not actively participate. So...no exerted energy = no activity = event. Yes?

"Want to mingle with like-minded people in the secure feeling of a masked party where all is possible but nothing is mandatory? "
 

Perhaps this should be listed under both activity and event? :cool: That of course could turn into a logistical nightmare for the organiser..those you sign up through the activity would be expected to actively participate and those who go through the event post would be the spectators and frankly should be expected to pay for the show! :w00t:

And of course, those you have paid should believe they will get their monies worth in entertainment, so expect to exert a lot of energy :D

Another option would be to sign up through both activity and event...pay nothing, as you'll be very busy but have the option of resting when necessary.  :hehe:
Lannah, Jun 24, 2009 @ 05:31

@Lannah



Good analysis!! I wonder how many people will pay for such an event though...
Maria_, Jun 24, 2009 @ 05:42

Don't recall seing any fee involved?



BDW did anyone note the email featured at end of post?





@bedrock : I wonder if you are not the organizer though? After all priests often make the worst deviants... must be something with constrained pulsions lol :P

Considering out of the 30,000 people on the site we only have a few forum contributors , in fact mostly those in this thread , then can we assume the same will happen at the "event/activity ", that most will be there to just watch and let others entertain?

It's the duty of Geneva's premier love-Czar to show them all where they are going wrong. Plus, it's an idea so ridiculous how could I not attend?
hayes, Jun 24, 2009 @ 12:29

Although in reality, what will probably happen is that some crazy, pissed-up, female spectator will come out of the crowd, call me an arrogant misogynistic ****(+), and tip her beer all over me.



(+) ironically, the word masked by asterisks is in it's literal form pretty demeaning to women, so why she would use it in conjunction with misogynistic would be anyone's guess. so yeah, while she would probably be too drunk and/or stupid to realise, the last laugh would have been with me. it's important to have that feeling of self security when your standing there squeezing Feldschlossen out of your shirt.

avoid that subject of coaching, for we do not want to form another lynch mob do we ? [/quote]



And FY and everybody else's I: there was never anything close to a lynch mob.



There was someone advertising a silly thing. I and a few others, including a moderator, pointed out that it was about making money and said that was a bit silly.. Then there was a really fun, random, and diverse thread in which people made and effort and thought in bizarre and funny ways. There was even some meat added to the original bones and then it took its contrary way again. Then there was the statement "I think this thread should be locked now" that came without even a "because...". No reason or anything. Then there was an "I agree" and that was it. Thread over.



Locked was tolerable. It was a fair bit later that it was callously erased from history, taking with it everybody's efforts and all the bizarre and amusing trains of thought. Gone. Pity.
hayes, Jun 24, 2009 @ 16:04

I wonder how long it'll take for this thread to be locked and deleted?? Bets anyone?  :D
Lannah, Jun 24, 2009 @ 16:21

@lannah -- just don't.



@isa413 -- like i said before, it wasn't.
hayes, Jun 24, 2009 @ 16:32

Well if we take into account the fact that when it was posted as an activity it disappeared the same day and that this thread is already two days old i give it lets say... a couple of days more?



Mind you i could be wrong.. this is actually quite fun!
Maria_, Jun 24, 2009 @ 16:36

I dont think there is a fee involved in this. Anyway i offer to check the appropriateness of the men involved. Where is the whip?
Maria_, Jun 24, 2009 @ 16:48

I don't know why I'm posting on this thread. I haven't even seen Eyes Wide Shut. It's got Cruise in it, hasn't it? Cruise is an irredeemable, grade-A spong.
hayes, Jun 24, 2009 @ 16:52

some sacrifice indeed :P
Maria_, Jun 24, 2009 @ 17:03

Maria...as your friend, I feel it is my duty to voice my concern. I could not possibly let you go to this alone! I know you are a strong and capable women however, there is safety in numbers...so...I will accompany you and ensure no harm comes your way.

After all, what are friends for, if not to help and protect you. :)
Lannah, Jun 24, 2009 @ 17:27

Lannah.. Im so glad you offered. I know it is very difficult but lets be strong. Together we can do it!!!
Maria_, Jun 24, 2009 @ 17:31

@lannah & maria : you mean you are enrolling for Eyes Wide Shut Party? coooool :D did you write to the master of ceremony?
swisskiss, Jun 24, 2009 @ 17:34

No!! We mean that we offer to undertake the difficult task of selecting appropriate men for the event! All wannabe participants must sent a picture and cv and wait :P
Maria_, Jun 24, 2009 @ 17:36

@Heyes .... do you mind if a talent screening for suitable men is held at your party, and perhaps even a rehearsal for the ultimate party? we'll ask bedrock to play the part of Frollo...
swisskiss, Jun 24, 2009 @ 17:38

For those with Sky TV (Like me) . The film is on the Movie Channel next week , 1st July 9pm ..



Now shall I post this as an event or an activity? :D
britabroad, Jun 24, 2009 @ 17:39

Swisskiss..as a faithful contributor to this thread, we promise to put your application to the top of the pile. :P

I don't care what happens. But this post may demonstrate that I can be pretty harsh judge when it comes to men. And a pretty lenient one when it comes to women.

hayes, Jun 24, 2009 @ 17:49

oh Hayes please don't be so harsh on yourself :P surely you are drinkable after a couple of beers

hmmmm.... maybe I missed a part of the moviewhile getting a cold beer or something..... but I didn't see the women on a wing there?!?!?!

Will this this activity be slightly different from the movie?

In that case the organiser is not giving an accurate impression of how the activity will be and what will happen there!!!

@ Lannah/Maria: You need some extra eyes (opened) to watch your back? I think I won't have any problem when I sign up as a single lady... it's all very discreet and masked, right? He will never notice :D

may I? .... I suggest Pink Panther with a little "spot" amendment to the costume...
swisskiss, Jun 24, 2009 @ 18:34

Got it Casuistik - SWINGERS :)[/quote]



Literally, yes, but not in the common usage.
hayes, Jun 24, 2009 @ 19:03

That's pity that the swingers are not for common usage! I was expecting a lot of swingers, bring the whole family to the party and have fun. Children first dressed up as pirates or fairy by Swisskiss, our official costume designer, and then heading for the plaground with the swingers. Parents can go then to a "different" sort of playground.

Lets call it the "adults playground"... prohibited for children.

Of course big BBQ afterwards because actvities make you hungry :D
Arnovd, Jun 24, 2009 @ 19:47

ROFL fairy... some would perhaps need some magic to keep things up :P





bdw I was asked what's a swisskiss? a wild guess anyone? I had this as a nick on my licence-plates in the US and kept being stopped for explanation...
swisskiss, Jun 24, 2009 @ 19:57

It's a kiss with 4 tongues.

Oh Marina! Cats are for stroking, not killing! To answer your inquiry no, nobody even in PMs came even close.. tsk tsk girls sometimes I wonder if your wild imagination only serves you to fool a GPS :P



Soooo how about alleviating your unfathomable curiosity then? A little riddle then:

1) What's a French Kiss?

2) What's in Swiss Cheese?
