Welcome to the 40th Neshbe Thread

This is a thread about why we are happy that Christopher and Lorelai didn't end up together.

Our name Neshbe comes from NEver SHould BE because well you know, he had his chance and he blew it...

Our Motto:
The Chris hate will never die. Even when he's gone, we will still live on!


"Gone"
by Kelly Clarkson

What you see is not what you get
With you there's just no measurement
no way to tell what's real from what isn't there
Your eyes they sparkle
That's all changed into lies that dropped like acid rain
you washed away the best of me
you don't care

You know you did it
I'm gone
to find someone to live for in this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you could walk right through my door
That is just so
you coming back when I finally moved on
I'm already gone

Sometimes shattered
never opened
nothing matters
when you're broken
That was me whenever I was with you

Always ending, always over
back and forth, up and down like a roller coaster
I am breaking that habit today

You know you did it
I'm gone
to find someone to live for in this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you could walk right through my door
That is just so you coming back when I finally moved on
I'm already gone

There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn't cut it babe
Take the hit and walk away cause i'm gone
Doesn't matter what you do
It's what you did that's hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I'm gone
What you see is not what you get
What you see is not what you get

You know you did it
I'm gone
to find someone to live for in this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you could walk right through my door
That is just so you coming back when I finally moved on
I'm already gone
I'm already gone
I'm already gone


"Since U Been Gone"
by Kelly Clarkson

Here's the thing
We started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
You're dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long 'til I called you mine
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I picture me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you, now I get what I want
Since you been gone

How can I put it, you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
Guess you never felt that way

But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah, yeah
Thanks to you, now I get, I get what I want
Since you been gone

You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again

Since you been gone (since you been gone)
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get, I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know) that I get
I get what I want

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone

Christopher Drinking Game:
To cope with seeing Chris on our TVs this season, we will be playing a drinking game. Everytime Chris says any of these words or phrases, we will take a shot (coffee, pop, etc for the underage posters).

- Lor
- Kiddo
- the one
- rat me out
- meant to be
- Ror
- for real this time
- there for ... (insert: you, Rory, etc.)
- family (man, guy, real family, etc.)
- 'get it together'
- 'i've got money/job now'
- '....different this time'
- ‘make changes’
- marry me/married/marriage
- 'another chance'
- TPTDI (totally psyched to do it)

Thanks for the new thread Zut!

[lancer1993]

Yay new thread, thanks Zutfan05

[Shira81]

Thanks for the new thread Zut. I am excited for the drinking game.
I will have to base it on what I hear because I wont visually be seeing any of CL this season.

[JJ4Life]

Thanks for the new thread Zut!

[jediwands]

Thanks for the new thread!

Originally Posted by My Angelai I was inbetween on triangles and couples prior to Everwood and GG because on Friends Ross and Rachel didn't get together until the last minute which I hated and hope the same doesn't happen with LL. But I also watched Frasier where the soulmate couple did get their "middle" together. Everwood was frustrating at times, but I was nowhere as near stressed out about Ephram and Amy as I am about GG and LL. Nothing that horrible ever happened on Everwood luckily. I never lived through the Creek years and had to deal with that, which I'm happy about or it proably would have turned me into a major pessimist.

So with you on all of this minus Creek. I was heavily involved with this show as you know which almost drove me to the point of insanity LOL so I'm so glad you didn't have to experience this as well because, well, I like you so much. Thankfully you didn't waste 6 years like I did.

You hit it perfectly about Creek and being a "glass is half empty" thinker. I know that's where I get it from. Sad but true. I delayed watching so many shows like Everwood and Gilmore Girls because of Creek as well. I have a phobia of triangles because of that show, that's a fact! So strange how I allowed that show to mess with my head but there it is....

I do believe that some of my fears about LL directly relate to my Creek experience such as being afraid that I invested in LL for this entire series, believing that they were meant to be, only for CL to end up together. That would be horrible and yes, extremely unlikely, but it's a thought in my mind, nevertheless. Like I said, the chances of this happening are remote and yet it still exists in my mind and will stay there until I see how everything plays out in the end. Thanks Creek.

That will always be the most repulsive phrase ever uttered on TV IMO. Not only did Deadbeat have no problem saying it in front of his teenage daughter in the middle of her town, but he said it in front of a daughter he barely sees once a year. So grosssssss. ASP really painted Deadbeat as an immature idiot from the start and its only gotten worse with time.

With you... Never once has this idiot been painted in a good light, always dark and negative. That's why I'm convinced we've never been guided to root for CL ever, just the exact opposite. We should be cheering for Lorelai to finally be rid of that piece of trash once and for all.

[colorblind]

thanks for the new thread.
i'm of to bed.
bye guys! keep the dopey hate.

[UltimateFan]

Thanks for the new thread. Great title!

[go_clo]

Thanks for the new thread Zut, I like how the hate is still going!

[JJ4Life]

How could the hate ever die? lol

[go_clo]

lol good point!

[Shira81]

The hate will live on even after the show is over.
And the thread died.
