I’m picturing a suburban dog park full of neurotic pet owners. What do you think?

Why a dog park? I was picturing a gourmet restaurant.
It would be a big place underwater – maybe some kind of coral, where a lot of jellies live together. The jellies would be very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. When any of the jellies needed help, there would always be help at hand. Everyone would respect each other, regardless of the origin, the appearance or the personality. In short, that would be some kind of heaven!
That’s what I thought about this site. This is the best Q&A site (and probably social site) I’ve ever known
I am very NON-neurotic, nah..I see it more as a crazy sea of eccentric, brainiac, creative, geeky types. I’ll be in the wine garden doing stand up and if anyone comes near me in a Holiday sweater I shall fuck up your reindeer games on the spot. lol
Just like Tahiti. A magical place.
An extremely long park bench.
A steam or river downstream from a sewage treatment facility.
Hahaha! @Haleth Thank you so much for this Q and for your picture of fluther as a dog park. I needed a giggle this morning. :)
I picture a small town with lots of different gathering places. Coffee shops, restaurants, parks, and a big library. The center of town is within a mile of where everyone lives.
I’m picturing the town of Woodbury walking dead.
Mostly perfect to the human eye, but a whole lot of shit going on outside the gates and behind closed doors.
I wouldn’t be found in a dog park full of neurotic pet owners. Neurotic people annoy me.
I see Fluther as a college campus with mostly intelligent people, but otherwise fairly diverse.
I think it would be a funky coffee shop with a liquor license. There would be a fireplace and lots of brick and wood. The noise level would be pretty high.
Have you seen the movie, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”?
Pssst. I’m McMurphy.
^ I’ve likened this place to Cuckoo’s Nest many times, you seem more
Ike the chief to me, now gimme some juicy fruit!
^ actually, I nearly took Martini, the Danny Devito character. lol
I wonder which of our, ahem, fine ladies, would take the Nurse Rached role…hmmm
I believe we’d get moderated if we mentioned any names…let’s not go there!
Haha, they got you well trained, in record time too.
Not so much. I had about a dozen comments removed yesterday. I don’t really know the members here well enough to play that, anyway. Honestly.
Tons of posts have been removed lately, an exceptional amount, so you’re not alone in that regard.
I think the mods were caught unawares by the Askville influx that coincided with the huge spam attack and are trying to get everyone (esp. us newbies) lined out.
@ucme ” I wonder which of our, ahem, fine ladies, would take the Nurse Rachet roleā¦” If avatars are true reflections of their owners, we used to have our very own Nurse Rachet in days past, at some point along the line she changed her appearance.
No nursing for me, I’m all about humor, I could make enema jokes that would cleanse your colon though.
@Adagio We did? I can’t recall, unless it was before my time maybe.
Maybe a fantastic old book store with a liquor license. I’d say a library, but we’re way too noisy for that. ;)
I picture an environment like big love. People mostly love each other but they get into tiffs and hold grudges, share secrets, and other people over hear. Have very different goals and priorities.
But we all mind auggie in the end.
We have an open door policy and often walk in unannounced or uninvited.
Word gets around pretty quickly.
Some people have bigger roles and make more appearance then others, some stay behind the scenes and orchestrate, even more watch.
We rotate in and out of compounds fluidily.
We would be a Bravo reality show.
It’d be Hell. With not enough liquor.
BS @rangerr I’m here and I have a basement full of liquor.
A hipster debate and orgy club.
