MIKE J If you’ve got a spare day around the end of February, any February, and dedicate it to those poor souls who have to renew their passports. The hard, focussed face that the photographer produced has sent me mental. Not mental, spastic. Maybe I’ll go to Geelong instead. S U L K.

They don’t call it ‘pornography’, Big M, when it’s in the form of classical Greek sculpture… they call it ‘art’… I’m sure Voice is developing a real appreciation for art now, as a result of ato’s link (for want of a better phrase) – in between fainting spells, anyway… (although methinketh that the lady doth protest just a tad wee bit too much…)

Has anyone seen the film “Marty”? With Borgnine, playing the role of a butcher who’s taking too long to find a wife. Someone suggested he go to a particular dance hall because there are “lots of tomatoes there!”
Never hear that expression anywhere or anytime else!
LikeLike
Great film. Borgnine got an Oscar for his portrayal of Chayefsky’s shy butcher. You don’t see it so much these days, but I love it.
Did you ever see “Queen of The Stardust Ballroom”? Made for TV sometime in the mid seventies, it’s another of those wonderful gentle tails of late love. Maureen Stapleton and Charles Durning star and we get to see Durning’s terpsichorean chops. He was a hoofer back in the day and it shows as he assumes a grace at odds with his little barrel body.
The audio is pretty degraded but from about 2:30 you’ll see Durning dancing. It’s the best I could find quickly.
I suspect you too might be built that way Mou. Good low centre of gravity for stability, thighs like tree trunks for power and a bear hug for the ones you love.
Am I right, or am I right?

Not quite, Waz. Charlie is about twice my size. I used to do quite a bit of gym work (pumping iron and concrete) back in my salad days and so had built quite a musculature but then stopped until around a decade ago when I went back but little pumping stuff. Still, reasonably strong (but not fat) thighs and arms that can give a fairly… warm embrace! I’m fairly gentle with those I love – utterly damaging with those who hurt my love ones!
Just lift pots and pans these days!

Warrigal, ato, like other brave Piglets, has put up photos of himself here, VL is even doing a Morris dance, we know what Lehan, Shoe, H,Big M, Hung, Gez, Viv and Emmjay look like…
How are your thighs, like tree trunks or spindly branches ?
Just asking, fair crack of the whip 🙂

I’m going to be helping sew the flag for “Stay Inside Saturday” after being reminded by Louis Theroux last night regards what happens the night of the Lawyers and Policeman’s (sic) Ball.

The apostrophe is in the right place, shoes! It’s a lawyers’ party where they all get pissed and invade the… inner sanctum of one policeman! That’s the pommy sense of partying for ya. Hang your tail on a copper!

Can’t wait for “International Punch a Fuckwit Fortnight!”
I thought there was also a “Couldn’t Give a Shit Today,” day -usually on the triad, Friday, Saturday and Monday.
And then a “I’m not Horny Today, Piss Off,” day.

Y’r jokin’, mate.
