Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

Time for something completely different. I wonder what Machiavelli, Hobbes and the rest of the gang would have made of this:

"Just beacuse some watery tart threw a sword at you..." - I use that line around the pool side or when I'm taking a bath.

Something along the same lines (?) :

That blonde in the front is starting to set my trip wire.


I'm getting caught up:

Looney Tunes were the among the best and to think that one person, Mel Blanc, was the voice behind so many of those characters. Fog Horn Leg Horn was perhaps my favorite.

Here is another favorite of mine:

My paternal grandfather worked in the oil fields of norther Oklahoma. Here is a picture of the connecting crew taken in the early 1920's. He is the one directly above the "C" in "Connecting":

If I were to list those who had the greatest influence on my childhood, and therefore my entire life, I guess my Mum and Dad would take the top two slots, but vying for the number three position would be, amongst very few others, Fred Quimby.

However, it's not going to be much of a thread if I suggest we all put forward our favourite producer of short cartoons, so instead we'll go for our favourite cartoon characters.

It's a tough choice, actually. But, until I change my mind, I'll nominate this one ...




A metal image of Daffy hangs from my keyring, in just this pose. I really ought to be embarrassed about that, I suppose.

Great idea, Mark. I learned my first concepts of the dating world from Popeye, Olive and Brutis...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CXcm...eature=related

I've just bought a DVD of Porky Pig cartoons to watch woth the niece who''s coming next week. I hope to be able to master Porky's stutter in that time. th eh-th-th-eh-th-th-eh that's all folks.

What a fantastic opportunity to annoy the family - especially if it's an inadequate version- which it will be.

Oh, can you get someone to record that, I want to see it haha

I loved Marvin the Martian too:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A4He...eature=related

Well you see, its difficult, I think Daffy is one of the greatest ever characters in any discipline in the entire history of The Arts.

However, I grew up with these two - who just make me laugh.




They were a Fred Quimby I think.

Yeah, Daffy was the greatest; particularly, when he was put with Bugs. I don't remember much with Tom and Jerry; they were a bit after my cartoon days.

[QUOTE=jocky;1055682]These are all impressive but this guy was the daddy:

I remember mom bringing this slimy canned spinach out of the can and trying to tell me that Popeye got his stregnth from that; I always thought popeye was a bit scrawny though.

I also wanted to upload some flowers from ages ago. Yes - I bought a micro SD card converter from the pound shop again. I'm sorry they're late. they were good this year though - the roses.

Your flowers are gorgeous, I never had any full blooms like that.

That's an interesting question - who was the greatest influence - and you started me trying to figure out who it was. My parents were old alcoholics by the time I came along and the last of my siblings had left home by the time I was 9.

I always tell people I brought myself up, which isn't far from the truth.

Yes, great win! Even better to see England actually holding form.

Nothing like bad role models to haunt our dreams for the rest of our lives, make us change all of our parenting concepts only to later make the same mistakes our parents did.

That line, "Help! Help! I'm being repressed", became our school day mantra in the 5th form.

Also when asked any question at all by the repressive regime we would answer with the same question eg, "Is that the African value of PI or the European one? We were dithspicable, as Daffy might've said.

Loved the Three Stoogies vid which I have never seen before and the photo of your Grandad's rig outfit, he looks a man of character. Given the heatwave you are experiencing I thought you and Soundo might appreciate this from the Captain and given Mark's Zappa poster he might enjoy this as well:

That's a great picture Gilliatt.

We're rather bereft of pics in our family. There are some of when we were kids, but hardly any of the family other than my parents. I don't suppose they were'nt great photo takers.

Sounds like me - there are few photos of me anywhere, and I'm pretty sure none at all from the ages of 12-17.

People valued cameras in those days.

Jocky, I bow in your general direction.
That is one for the wall of shame and to think of the time and energy wasted on pondering the question of whether Lennon was a genius or who was the better poet; Morrison or Dylan? We know who the genius is!

Delightful!

Don't look now fellas, but looks like someone may have gotten lost on their way to the coffee shop.
Welcome Varenne !
Parker will get you fixed up in short order.

Thanks Paul and you're right Atheist, we have hoards of photographs from the family past.
I'll see if I can get a couple more to share, perhaps my maternal grandfather. He's the one who inspired my fetish for the smell of old books ...and reading.

Feels like the 60s or a interview with John Lennon

Did the little broad with the glasses pull at her bloomers, or was I imagining things. I seem to recall building up alot of static when I was a young thing.

Okay gents, speaking of Daffy, I am confused about something, Why don't Shakespearean actors spit anymore. Remember, they used to spit all the way through King Lear and Hamlet

Delightful!

Who's the hot broad...welcome, fellow sexy woman...

I'm sure there were alot of pictures taken of you, it's just that like mums eyes at the time, they were out of focus. I think my mom took alot of pictures of her thumb about that time

[Varenne Rodin]

Who's the hot broad...welcome, fellow sexy woman...

Well, aren't you a peach? Thanks, dollface.

[Buh4Bee]

Well, there is nothing wrong with being a strong confident woman. You go Sugardoll!

What's happening? we're knee deep in women! Have you been auditioning pole dancers again Parker?

What's happening? we're knee deep in women! Have you been auditioning pole dancers again Parker?

Intriguingly specific estimation of depth, that.

[DocHeart]

How many Greeks does it take to customize a software application?

None. They all go for default.

Nah, he's just interviewing them. He wants private lessons.
