Too Much?

Just a quick question about Blog etiquette. Would it have been totally irresponsible for me to post a pic of Candidate Number one with her entry. I wouldn't have labelled it and no one would likely recognize her (though I guess they could cross check it against the website for The 10).

Would that have been too crass.

UPDATE
She (Candidate Numero Uno) just called me to reschedule getting together from Wednesday to some time early next week. Something about a client coming into town for this new-agey healing thing she does when she isnt acting.

I know myself, prolly wont reschedule. I get annoyed by that kind of thing. Maybe I will, but because Im a little on the fence about the whole thing anyway... She was very nice on the phone about it, so I don't think its subterfuge. I dont know.

Personally, I think it would be a little uncool to post her pic. She hasn't given you permission to post her pic (especially in connection with disclosing her flirting business) so I don't think it would be right.

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

But Jill, how else do I prove to you she's a hottie?

Jill said...

First of all, I trust that she's a hottie and even if I don't personally think she's hot, it shouldn't matter because beauty's in the eye of the beholder.

Second, are u serious about not rescheduling?? C'mon now. She contacted you to make a plan in the first place so clearly she's not trying to get out of it. Plus, she's contacting u on Monday to reschedule a plan for Wednesday. That's not a bail, that's a real time conflict. If she wanted to bail, she wouldn't be letting you know so far ahead of time. If you don't want to see her again, that's one thing but ditching her because of the plan change is unwarrated (in my opinion).

Grumpy has so many issues....

Posting a pic without permission: definite no-no in my opinion.

You said that YOU probably wouldn't call to reschedule, but I got the sense that SHE would be calling to reschedule. Or did I read that wrong?

Either way, if you don't feel it, you don't feel it.

This is funny, now we've switched to try to convince the other to give someone else a chance (or a third chance).

Anonymous- who is this, come on, no fair with this.

Jill said...

Well, to be honest, it's more for selfish reasons in that I would not want you to just give up on me if I had to reschedule a plan with you at some point. I figure a little preemptive training never hurt anyone. :)

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

Training? Like a dog? Hmm.

Jill said...

Boy, you weren't kidding when you said that you're sensitive. Training as in Olympics or something similarly exciting. Does that make you feel better??

Warmin up again in the bullpen -

Curly Jill -

Seriously, I think the play is for you to D-ust off and come to the game with a new uniform. Then you'll have a real chance (which granted, ultimately you may or may not want) with a real guy - who always tries to do things the right way (even if not always successful).

You got the nod.

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

Jill - was just kidding. Im sensitive, to be sure (ask my sis), but wasnt being there. I just wasn't successfully being funny. Right?

Gus - She's on the field. Definitely in a different uniform. And until she's a free agent, well, I don't wanna hear it from the commissioner's office for tampering.

Hi Greg!

VERY Bad form to post someone's picture without their permission. Especially someone you don't know very well.

Hi Jill!

He is a sensitive guy. Just comes off a little gruff sometimes with his sense of humor. Underneath it all, not so gruff.

Hi Dawn!

Nothing really to add, just wanted to say hi! :D

Oh, and hey Gus! Glad to see that you're helping keep my bro on the right track.

OH FFS you two. Grab the phone, rescheduling means there is time available and go enjoy a drink or two or even more/

ab said...

Hey Franky!

Grumpy, remember your first post when you wondered about stealing my readers?

Hmmm, about that :D

Def no pics without permission!!! That would be a serious no-no AND put you in a much weaker position if candidate #1 were to see the pic...

Grumpy/Jill - it's training like a dolphin- didn't you read that NYT article that was all over the news a couple of weeks ago?

Night Dawn!

Franky. I try not be premature. I think I'd be early on this one.

Heidi. What the hell are you talking about? Dolphins?

How come no one cared when E was up? She didnt know about the blog - admittedly she prolly wouldnt have liked it.

Jill, youve never posted someone without telling them?

Jill said...

Hi Heidi: I read the dolphin article and found it fascinating!

Grumpy: Never. Even my friends haven't been put on my blog unless I expressly obtained their permission.

Actually, wait, I retract that: When I first started my blog, I posted pics of pple. One of these girl's friends saw a pic of her on my blog and went nuts on me. I quickly took the pics down and never repeated that mistake again. It was a huge mistake, I felt awful about it and every other blogger was quick to inform me that you just don't do that.

ab said...

I didn't realize that E didn't know you posted her pic.

Bad form, dude.

just sayin ;)

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

I dont know the rules. Question is, then, do all the ppl u date know you have a blog? E never knew. I preferred it that way, since (1) she was material, and (2) it wasnt typically positive.

So if I wanna post a pic, i have to let her read the blog. Which defeats the whole purpose of being able to vent and talk about her (whoever the particular her is) without her knowing and getting upset.

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

Heidi Deidi, great friggin article. I have so many behaviors that need elimination though. BTW, what does Alex think of this? Which behaviors does he need eliminated?

And also, should I be apologizing for posting ur pic?

Grumpy,


nothing premature about going for a drink or am I wrong?
Sometimes I think people just think too much. Hey but who am I, I only allow myself since some years to do what I 'feel' like ;-)

Jill said...

Grumpy: Ideally, you don't tell the person you're dating that you have a blog. You write what you want about the relationship and you do your utmost to obscure the person's identity.

That's the way I would do it, at least.

Anonymous said...

Jill and Sir Grumps-a-lot - glad you both liked the article.

G -Alex needs all behaviors eliminated. I have tried to follow the article's advice, and much to my suprise, it seems to be slowly (veeeeerrrryyyy slowly) working :)

You never have to ask to post a pic of me, I think you know that :)

Unless, of course, the pic sucks - don't even THINK or say they all do :)

Jill said...

Dude: Can't you post something new?? I feel like I haven't flirted with you in HOURS and it's starting to get to me!! :(

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

OK. I'll get crackin. But i've been in the office all day, so I've only had sex with three actresses.

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

Heidi.
Jeff just called me from SanFran. He said your butt looks great in all the footage. Feel better?

Frank
Keep thinking. Just keep a glass of water handy to handle the occasional smoke. Thats what I do.

Anonymous said...

Were you asking Jeff about my butt??? Glad it looks "great" in the footage - guess all of those hours at the gym maybe paid off - just please don't post any pics of that :)

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

well i figured after the way you displayed it in the group photos by the car, you were trying to make it more prominent in the movie.

Anonymous said...

I did no such thing. Stop spreading these fallicies immediately!

Grumpy O. Selznick said...

now im definitely posting butt pics.
