What a Respectable & FUN Chat about "A Respectable Woman"! In fact, the rankings will show it may have the highest all around average of any we've had. Our discussion had a (mostly) methodical examination of the relationship of Mrs. B, Mr. G and Mr. B. It became evident that there were different thinking machines at work here (Mars vs. Venus) - as opinions about the end of the story became so strong we took a vote. That additional vote is displayed below.

 

Stormy battled a laptop in a hotel room to stay with us during this chat - and we want to thank him again for choosing this great story. In fact, the women agreed - this is our first real Chick Story ! Fredia deserted us for a brief while to enjoy some birthday cake and was excused, because leaving the chat for food is completely understandable. We missed Logos and don't have an excuse yet.

 

The rankings were:

Entertainment Value: 5, 4, 4, 4.4, 5, 4 = AVG 4.4

Artistic Value: 4, 4.5, 4, 4, 4, 4 = AVG 4.08

Chat: 5, 5, 5, 4, 5, 4 = AVG 4.66

 

Here is the vote we decided to take after much discussion and debate:

Do Mrs. B & Mr. G have an affair on the second visit (after the end of the story?)

No - Result: Fredia, grip

Yes - Result: Star

Yes and its with Mr. B's consent/knowledge - Result: Stormy, Smiley, Koach

 

The log is attached. Read it to see why these comments were made:

<Stormy> lol Smiley you got icky on the brain

<Star> note to self: on 1-26, koach finally got it ...

<Smiley> well they had spent the party season in mild dissipation, what is mild dissipation as opposed to complete debauchery

<Koach> lol i never agree with the women, what was it you said anyway? lol

 

See you next Saturday !
