Let's party!

Hello! Welcome to the sixth thread which is dedicated to the appreciation the character of Ephram Brown on Everwood and the person who plays him, Gregory Smith.

So, a lot of things have happened from the third and fourth thread. "Like what?" you may ask. Well, for one thing, our name! Yes, it's true, Ephram Brown fans and Gregory Smith supporters are henceforth officially known as The Patriots . The Patriot, being of course, the amazing Revolutionary movie that Gregory Smith starred in. And though he is not a native American, that movie will remain our namesake.

For another thing, we have our Declaration signed! The Declaration of Ephramdependence is our manifesto, our thesis in all things beautiful and pure. Namely, Gregory Smith and Ephram Brown.

It reads:

To all who are concerned:

We, the undersigned Patriots as citizens of the kingdom that shall be known henceforth as the Rogue Nation of Ephram, pledge our undying allegiance to the fictional entity that is Ephram Brown and the person who portrays him on The WB's "Everwood", Gregory Smith. We are called Patriots simply for the fact that we are so loyal to Him as well as the point that Gregory Smith starred in a movie called "The Patriot". No matter what they do to Him, nothing will steer us away from our path of seeking happiness with the only Ephram Brown. We merely begging some more smack from Him and we will do whatever it takes to get that. When we are devoted to someone like Him, we don't have to go very far to just prove we care. While it may be unconsciously now, we know that He knows. We know that He feels it.

And whatever He feels, we feel as a ripple effect. He is the center from which all ripples come forth. When his father, Doctor Andrew Brown, transplanted Him from New York City to Everwood, we too felt saddened and angry. But we, like Him, have to come to realize that Everwood is his home now.

He will remain immortal for all time and in our hearts forever. Even if the show is cancelled (which we pray will never be), He will still be with us. We will never ever find someone as good as Him and we will be lucky to find someone real who is half as good as He is on the show. We will cherish Him always and dream of something more.

The reasons listed below after our signatures (which signify our lifelong devotion to Him) are just some of the millions of reasons why He is our Saviour.

In addition to our Declaration, Gaby (me) has some great reasons on why we love him so much:

425 Reasons For Appreciating Ephram Brown

1. 'Cause we like his purple hair.

4. 'Cause he's so intense and complicated.
5. 'Cause he's our very own Professor Plum and he would lose his coolness if packed down into travel-size.
6. 'Cause you can't say he's not prepared.
7. 'Cause he's Ham and we're not talking about the deli meat.
8. 'Cause damn, that jacket in the telephone scene for "Till Death Do Us Part" made him look so incredibly hot.
9. 'Cause please, he's rugged and we'll shoot anyone who says he isn't.
10. 'Cause comics were never this hot before.
11. 'Cause he totally had an in with that Gwen Stefani chick back in NYC.
12. 'Cause he doesn't speak dumb-@$$ or @$$-hole.

17. 'Cause he finds it best when dealing with any unfamiliar bully, striking early with sarcasm makes them wonder if he has some butt-kicking prowess that they're unable to detect.
18. 'Cause he has had several make-out songs. We can only hope there's at least one for each one of us.
19. 'Cause if we had him in our possession and were listening to "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green, we'd want to take off all his clothes and do it with him in front of everybody. (Why not?)
20. 'Cause meeting Colin was on his "things to do" list. Right inbetween picking up his dry cleaning and chopping off his hand.
21. 'Cause today we found out we're in love with a guy who's in love with a girl who's in love with ComaBoy. Other than that, it was pretty standard.
22. 'Cause one of the greatest atrocities in the world of board games is that CLUE doesn't come in travel size. On the other hand, Professor Plum would lose his coolness if he was packed down into travel-size.
23. 'Cause he's our Everwood home so we wish we were his home.

36. 'Cause we know he was a total mama's boy at heart.
37. 'Cause "Ephram, you're gonna be late again!"
38. 'Cause he set aside his romantic feelings for Amy Abbott so that she could be with ComaBoy on the night County High's Sadie Hawkins dance. How incredibly sweet is that.

44. 'Cause IronicBoy and his friends choreograph the bathroom stall exit and Ephram's the loser? You better think again.

55. 'Cause he figured the Brown family should have meatloaf flavored meatloaf for a change.
56. 'Cause Kayla, he was aware that only girls can give the pine cones.
57. 'Cause if we went to Peak County High, Ephram's locker would have been completely covered during the night before the Fall Dance was mentioned to him by Wendell so that there would be no more room for the IronicBoy's little childish pranks.

69. 'Cause if he was a junkie (and we're not saying he is), we wish we were the object that he was a junkie over.

72. 'Cause he's up for going to the Thaw Fest so long as Doctor Brown promises to take up surgery again and lobotomize him first.
73. 'Cause the cabbie's not working tonight!? That's just great. It took him TWENTY MINUTES just to track the number for the cabbie down!

83. 'Cause he's not gonna let young Bambi be killed by Elmer and his brother.

85. 'Cause he didn't bring new boots on the camping trip.
86. 'Cause why does he look like he's about to vomit on Doc Abbott? 'Cause he might.
87. 'Cause I guess, he should be glad he made it six hours before Doc Brown tried to turn the "Returning Young Bambi to the Wild" trip into some kind of bond fest.
88. 'Cause his mom's not the only one who can call his dad on wanting to be in charge all the time. He can too.
89. 'Cause he got his dad and himself to the reserve, though it was not what they expected.
90. 'Cause at least when it sucks, you know you’re alive. I guess, what we're trying to say is, it’s okay when everything sucks. It means you’re somewhere.

295. 'Cause we kinda wanna have a history of being cautious with his feelings.
296. 'Cause New York has just about everything except him. (And the really good snow)
297. 'Cause Everwood has everything because they have him. And really good snow.
298. 'Cause Everwood having really good snow is Amy's pitch?

306. 'Cause he doesn't suck for leaving because he's not.
307. 'Cause he's not leaving since he embarrassed himself in front of all his and Amy's friends and family. And told off some of the larger football players.

320. 'Cause whatever he and Akumo have going on isn't gonna work itself out.

328. 'Cause how come he's so smart?

344. 'Cause making pancakes? GO TO H*LL!

346. 'Cause "them not being around." That's what you feel when you've lost a parent.

349. 'Cause he's cool. Way cool.
350. 'Cause dropping his books? That doesn't disqualify him for being cool.
351. 'Cause he is forever overwhelmed by Her B*tchness's natural beauty.
352. 'Cause for the first time, I am near failure at school (getting D's) and all because of him. His hotness distracts me so damn bad. But it's worth it. So worth it. Well, it was just one class.

355. 'Cause he was a punk.
356. 'Cause the way Daniel Maxwell descended into madness sounds like one of Ephram's comic books.

358. 'Cause yes, he does have to make Thanksgiving. For Delia. For he's the world best brother.
359. 'Cause he doesn't know the difference between condensed milk and evaporated. H*ll, while we're on the topic of milk, why don't we ask the eternal question of "What's the difference between fat-free and non-fat?"
360. 'Cause it's cool that he's doing Thanksgiving for his sister.
361. 'Cause he's about scientifically prove that Thanksgiving in itself can be kind of a disaster.

373. 'Cause it wasn't his technique that was off.
374. 'Cause he would neither let the car drive him or drive the car.

387. 'Cause not everything has to do with his deceased mom, alright?
388. 'Cause he didn't know his dad sent Amy an invitation to the Everwodo recital.
389. 'Cause he appreciates Amy trying to act like everything's normal, you know, with that whole Colin thing, but we all know it's not, and he thinks it's best if they just, you know, keep their distance for a little while. I mean, don't you?
390. 'Cause he never noticed Kate before.
391. 'Cause he likes to know when he's in the presence of greatness.
392. 'Cause he got the finale.
393. 'Cause he had us scared when he went out on that boat.
394. 'Cause he's eating in his room, if it's OK with the good doctor.
395. 'Cause Ephram five months ago wasn't unpleasant at all. That's when we fell in love with him.
396. 'Cause he did the Kaddish.

398. 'Cause his mom knows he's handsome.
399. 'Cause he's an unbelievably gifted musician.

413. 'Cause we wish he'd send himself to us.
414. 'Cause his dad was surprised he got a date.
415. 'Cause he doesn't skate. (Which is good for the Patriot President because she doesn't do any kind of sport that's even remotely connected to the water element which is kinda ironic because she's a Cancer.)
416. 'Cause in his opinion, sometimes it's nicer to just hang out with a girl if you get the opportunity. But of course we'd do so much more if we got the opportunity to hang with him.
417. 'Cause we've met the right person.
418. 'Cause he was already expending an infinite amount.
419. 'Cause he's not falling.

422. 'Cause you can't deny how hot he is.
423. 'Cause it's not just his physical attractiveness that attracts us to him. No matter what CelebMatch.com says to the Patriot President.
424. 'Cause we would never be Gemma Maxwell's cousin.
425. 'Cause Ephram and I are in the bible. Just like the mountain in reason #91.

46. 'Cause the WB teen heartthrob label is just weird.
47. 'Cause he watches over us as we sleep.
48. 'Cause it would have been totally kickin' to see it when one of Greg's buttons popped off. You know, get a glance at the chest we're dying to see. Since he grew into the world of hot guys, I mean.
49. 'Cause his contacts better be there to help him see because those beautiful eyes must belong to him.
50. 'Cause he's not hot in the Josh Harnett way, but in the way that guy at the back of your English class grabs your attention.

And now...I present to you...
the Patriot Anthem!

Kelly Clarkson
Beautiful Disaster

He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He's as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain't right
It just ain't right

Oh when I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

His magical myth
As strong as with I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
And do I try to change him
So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight
Hold on tight

Oh cuz I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm waiting for some kind of miracle
Waited so long
So long

He's soft to the touch
But afraid at the end he breaks
He's never enough
And still leaves more than I can take
Oh cuz I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

He's beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
