@Gotham: I assume nothing of you, except for what you’ve written here. I responded to your first comment and not the ones that later clarified. My assessment of the situation was that you were trying to prod Will in whatever way you felt appropriate. You just happened to use a stereotype (one that’s been abused by others) about Denver being a cowtown. I pointed out that people have used it in an unimaginative and inaccurate way. That’s what I was referring to–the use of the stereotype, by you and others–not you as a person. I don’t make ad hominem attacks on people. I was merely urging you to find something else…something funnier and perhaps less offensive. I never thought you were trying to be offensive.

Again, the cow thing was a joke. I thought it was funny. Denver + cows = ha ha? No? Oh well. I’m actually rather serious though about Will becoming a dairy farmer. Since I am from North Carolina Will could just as easily assume that I would become a tobbaco farmer, which I might do if not for the fact I don’t want to grow cancer. However, if I lived in florida Will might say “Helen, I bet your going to get a orange grove or make a amusement park.” Which I might very well do. The reason I can safely assume Will would have a dairy farm is because he once said “I might enjoy being shot” or something to that extent. Now, couple this with the fact that he already has list of jobs that really aren’t that related to each other (one minute he’s a personall trainer the next minute he’s in advertising?) it would only make sence that once moving to Denver he would try a occupation he had nver done before if for the no other reason then to see what it was like. This is also something cliche of writers.

I’m sure your a very nice girl, but you assume so much when you know me so little of me.

@Gotham: I got the joke…just didn’t think it was all that funny. But, then, I’m not one to peddle stereotypes. Dairy farming? That’s so Greeley. The only time I’ve ever seen a cow in Denver was during the Stock Show. Denver is a lot of things, but continually calling it a cow town is both ignorant and unimaginative.

I’m sure you’re a very nice girl, but don’t perpetuate ideas about an entire state in your attempt to poke fun at Will.

Nothing is wrong with dairy farming. For a long time a gallon of gas was cheaper then a gallon of milk so dairy farming can be quite lucrative. I simply meant it was a good bet because when I think of denver I think of farms. If you do fall in love with the place you will likely become a farmer to make your living.

As for the dream, again I meant the dream of making it in Hollywood as in “rich and famous.” You went to Hollywood with the plan of going to school as oppose to the people who belive their going to “make it” and don’t bother planning ahead. Now, if I havn’t made this clear enough just google it because I’m tired of explainging the subject of what was suppose to be a funny joke… which is now clearly dead.

Have fun in Denver with what ever you do.

What’s wrong with dairy farming.

And I think it depends on what “it” is. If the dream is to live well, and successfully, and write a whole hell of a lot and do some teaching, why couldn’t one go to Denver with that in mind?

I mean, hell, that’s precisely what I’m doing.

I was making a joke. You know, the steyotypical person goes to Hollywood without a real plan except a dream and the determination to “make it.” No one goes to denver with that in mind. Yeah, Will will be fine but I think you could bet money that at some point he will get involved in dairy farming.

I would say you can do better without a plan in Denver than in Hollywood. Hollywood is much more expensive in terms of living costs, and it’s also harder to find a decent job. Denver’s always been welcoming to explorers.

Your going to denver and you don’t know what your going to do? You have it backwards. You can go to Hollywood with just a dream and no real plan. You need a plan to survive in denver.

Also, I do not have a telepathic link with you so sadly I won’t know what you do when you do it but Carrot Top will so be carefull.

@Gotham: like me, you’ll know it when I do it.

It’s “You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.” That was one of the quotes I sent ya. I feel insulted that you did not say it right.

Their is a difference between where you are going and what you are going to do and though you can’t do one with out the other the question still remains; what are you going to do in Denver?
