It's late and I need to go to sleep, but Nel dropped in for a chat tonight and we had a blast! Yes, it was fast and furious as the numbers rose from around 75 to about 125, but most there seemed more comfortable this time and we just had a great time laughing and cracking each other up. I think the laughter will be good medicine for our man as he soldiers on for the rest of the tour.

A few quick notes -- he again says he does not consider himself a rock star -- TRULY a humble guy. Also mentions how much he idolizes Ann Wilson and described himself as having only 1/4 of her talent. He's having a great time, and we are giving him lots of love and encouragement. Can't wait to see him again in Cleveland... and... SHORELINE!!!

RIP any chance that Arnel might sinG with Ann on the tour?

Just got the transcript up and posted, on another thread here on MR

For the sake of simplicity wouldn't it be easier to keep this to one thread?

i think this is a good idea, it would be easier (at least for me, he he) to follow all the chats in one thread ...

WOW!!! He sounds like he's in good spirits!! 8-9 hours sleep.. that's great!! Wait! where was I during this whole

thing?---waaaaa!!! I missed this one (shouldn't complain...i've talked to Arnel over there around 7x!!)

how 'bout making one sticky 'drew? well, its a tall order but others would have better suggestions.

I believe someone asked him about that, which started the conversation about her! Looks like the transcript is up, and I need to read it. I was hard at work acting a fool and wasn't paying as much attention... haha!

Rip, do you ever sleep?

I'm on my way to work, and I definitely plan to sleep there, so I'm good. Thanks!

pineda1 wrote:Rip, do you ever sleep?

Seriously!!! I got off of IM with Rip about 45 minutes before Arnel popped on. Dude, you're up like 19-20 hours a day. Get some fucking sleep, bro!!!

If I remember it right, I think old people need only 4-5 hours of sleep! (?) So, I guess Rip is in good shape!

Someone needs to create an "Arnel Chat 12-Step Recovery" for Rippy.
Dude... you're officially an Arneloon.

Ripper, your Man Crush on Arnel is fine. Hardly any of us are haunted by the thought of it. Hang tough brother.

They keep me well balanced over there. On one hand, all the new friends and laughs make me feel young, but then they guess that I look about 5 years older than I really am, so it all balances out!

Serious story -- this morning I wanted to listen to Revelation again, so when I left for work I ejected the CD from the drive to discover it was Steve Perry's Greatest Hits... I looked at it for a second with almost with the same feeling I'd get from stealing from my grandmother, and then put it back in the case and popped in Revelation. Is that a sign of addiction? Ich bin Arliner! I mean... Arneler... Oh, you know what I mean...

Does Don know you are cheating on him?

Yes. You made Steve Perry cry. Monster.

I'm seriously worried about you, bro. Even the Dokken references are decreasing in numbers in favor of all this Arnelsturbation. If Arnel starts appearing in your morning Frosted Flakes, I'll come down there myself and drive you to the clinic.

Is that who's crying now? Oh, thought it was Frig. Hm.

Don expects 100% faithfulness while he gets to do whatever he wants, and that just ain't gonna work for me anymore. Since you two are hooking up, I'm playing the field myself...

I FULLY intended on leaving Don here to entertain you peeps while I spent some time over there, but he followed me, and now they are all becoming Dokkaholics! Never my intention... But here, check out my page! http://arnelpineda.ning.com/profile/RipRokken

Between you and Rhi, there's a whole new vocabulary to be learned here.

Since you happen to mention it, yes, a few members of The Benevolent Order of Wombats (Ladies' Chapter) will be publishing their first book shortly. By popular demand, the vocabulary guide will be the first offered. No extra charge for autographed copies.

No, dude! Please keep it up! Some people just need to learn how to say "Thank you, Wech!" Haha....

Wech,

Your efforts are very much appreciated.

...now that I said it, can you get that balisong off my neck please? [/i]

Well I'm not picking up the toys...

Yeah, well color me over-sensitized.
My apologies to those taken aback, disturbed or apalled.

Every time I put up one of those, I take a shitload of nasty/whiny messages from outraged AP fans,
telling me off for how I allegedly misinterpreted this, or failed to mention that, as if i was out to
deliberately fuck Arnel over (with his own words), or to ruin these fans' "relationship" with him.

I can't win.
If I paraphrase from chat transcript, I'm maliciously twisting the truth.
If I repost from chat verbatim, then I'm not protecting Arnel from his own words.
...and now I have to mind where I post whatever I post?

Someone can just link to the transcripts that will inevitably pop up at the AP site, anyway.



This shit turns me off almost as much as an older problem that still rears its withered dick up from time to time:
If I have something nice to say about Arnel, I'm just some flag-waving Filipino.
If I have anything LESS than ringing praise for Arnel, I'm a traitor to my own countryman.

Pigfuckers.
