Years ago in Paris I bought a pen decorated with nubile young ladies whose bikinis were removed when the pen was upturned. A priapic youth who worked with me was constantly picking it up; in the end I gave it to him.

I am always getting my pens stollen by workmates; I can't even imagine what it would be like to try and hold on to that pen...do you ever wish you had it back?
Mr Sounds received a coffee mug that undressed when you poured hot coffee in it; he absolutely refused to use it...I wish someone would have given to me instead:mad:

Wow...okay, I'll start without you:p

Went to the hospital with my wife's old Uncle yesterday - flow speed empty tank efficiency check on the old bladder. It's a huge place, (the hospital, not his bladder) - new and clean, (the old hospital was horrible). He's 87 and still going - strong-ish and still uncomplaining and cheerful.

Despite being new and clean and busy - the hospital is still incredibly boring. Magnolia walls - though fairly relaxing are boring. Hopefully by the time I'm going for a flow speed empty tank efficiency check we'll have incredible palm computers that link us into a 3-d virtual internet arena where we can still partake in martial games which have feelistic - though not painful - quality to them.... hopefully...

Either that or we just film ourselves at home and they'll do splash calculations on such flow. You never know...

Well I suspect that it has long run out of ink, which is not as bad as not having enough lead in your pencil.

Please excuse my brief diversion from the current topic, but I wanted to bring this important bit of infomation to your attention.
As you well know, one of my responsibilities as a card carrying bloke, is to periodically check in on the TBRC.
I am happy to report the 10th annual Texas Bigfoot Conference will take place October 30th in Tyler Texas.

http://www.texasbigfoot.org/

Unfortunately, I am stuck here in Illinois, so I will not be able to attend.
However, I will follow up this weekend and try to get my hands on a copy of the meeting minutes.

In the meantime, perhaps I can locate a similar organization up here in Illinois.
Regardless of location, we are all "brothers in feet".

The only think I like about my hospital is that they have a Starbucks coffee stand, a few free computers, soft chairs and some of the individual clinics have good televisions...unfortunately, that doesn't make up for the amount of people coughing on you, the waiting time...it takes about 3 hours to get your medication if everything goes well...and the drive to and fro...

I try never to have any of those tests on my favorite parts; if they aren't bothering me, I'm sure not blowing water up them, starving for 2 days and taking dozens of enemas, swallowing something that turns to rock in my bowels....:eek6:

I used to work for a doctor that had one of those astronaut pens (writes in any direction); one day, someone took his pen, as a joke, he locked himself in his office and refused to see patients until they found his pen.

Hell yes!

I am a respected member at Bigfoot Forums!

I'd love to go to a bigfoot syposium. As long as those goons from the 2008 hoax weren't there. Most 'footers I know are fine people.

Just a leetle bit eccentric, but in a place like The Blokes' Club, a little eccentricity doesn't go amiss.

:D

Where the hell do bigfeet hide in Texas? Behind oil wells? In Dallas?

Boots, plaster of Paris, directional microphone & recorder, movie camera, trowel, rifle, hiking gear [strike]bigfoot costume[/strike] ....

Piece of cake. Shall we hire some local porters and go in style? A sedan chair, perhaps?

I could just see us being carried around the wilds in chairs, sipping martini/kahlua. Travel in style!

By the time we get there, we'll be seeing bigfeet everywhere.

Sounds like a great trip. What about an elephant with one of those chairs on the top? Or a balloon. Or a Zeppelin type. Always fancied a go on one of those - the ones with inert gases inside.

If we are to employ beasts of burden, then species selection is critical depending on where the expedition takes place.
Gigantopithecus (Bigfoot, Yeti, Snanaik, Abominable snowman, Timber Giants, Splintercat, Sasquatch, et al), have a keen sense of smell.
If we were to enter a particular bigfoot habitat with a species of pack animal not native to that habitat, the pheromones emanating from said pack animals will result in one of two actions.

One – The Bigfoot mob will be spooked at the alien scent and simply disperse.
(by the way a group of three or more Bigfeet are known as a “mob”)

Or

The Bigfeet will become aroused and attack the caravan having their way with you.
I don’t know about you Paul, but having a randy Bigfoot on my heels is not my idea of research.

Research? And here was me thinking it was going to be one big picnic. Better get the old army trousers on. I'll follow your lead in not provoking our hairy-assed friend - bigfoot I mean.

Looking at some old posts on the former Music Appreciation sub forum, I came across this comment about performances of opera in modern dress.
Given some of the ribald comments on this thread, I thought that contributors might be interested.

Now, I may be one of those 'old geezers' but I often hate modern scenery and costume. I sometimes get the feeling that the old piece must be modernized by hook or by crook. So we find Nazi officers in uniform in an 18th century opera, there are naked people or whores where they do not belong. A friend of mine saw an opera in Dresden at the Semperoper (!) with half the choir naked. One of the men had an erection on stage - he couldn't help it and seemed to be very much ashamed.

I have a clear childhood memory of seeing Bigfoot in the Upper Calder Valley. I was sat on my Mums knee in the front seat of the Landrover, we were driving down through some woods and I saw a large hairy ape-like creature keeping pace with us about 30 yards away among the trees. It was the size of a large man, and was jumping along like a kangeroo. Although I was only three at the time it is a clear memory. I admit, I had put it down to a three year olds imagination, untill Gilliat's scholarly treatise on the subject.

It may have been a South Pennine sub-species of the more famous Texan Bigfoot or perhaps, like the Grey Squirrel, an introduced alien.

Is it time we had a Yorkshire branch of the TBRC?

[QUOTE=Paulclem;972069]Sounds like a great trip. What about an elephant with one of those chairs on the top?

I have a photo of me in one of them.

From Auckland Zoo, circa 1962, when that kind of thing was considered ok.

Well, precisely. They're not just shy, they're as cunning as humanoids.

This is why yeti-hunting is a lot easier - you can use yaks as beasts of burden.

Soundo on the elephant, me in the sedan chair carried by six strapping Samoan sheilas, Paul astride the trained lion... Not as though we'd make much noise either!

I have it!

We'll borrow Santa's sleigh and use moose instead of reindeer.

No, that's definitely a Bunyip.

Obviously, one of those rich Pommies had one in his private zoo that escaped.

I doubt it's still alive or free now, the tiger would have killed it for sure.

In the original photo, I went to the shop, the photographer asked me to remove my top in a room that I was sure had a few cameras...he asked me to say "cheese" for some of the photos; then look the other way and say "sex"...the "sex" photos came out best:lol:
For this photo, I went to a dingy little shop that advertised passport photos for $6.00; a hunchbacked fellow with coke-bottled glasses said "just stand there and don't move"....all considered, it didn't come out half bad..:nod:

Well thats 31 years of marriage (to the same woman) as of today. What happened to that young thrusting couple of yesteryear, who laughed so confidently at life's great adventure? who together rode the troughs and heights of fortune with naive relish.?

The last two years have been the most demanding, because the kids have all left home and so we have to start talking to each other again. Its difficult to pick up a conversation 30 years after being rudely interrupted by the arrival of offspring.

I'm thinking of starting a "Perfect Dad" blog, mainly because I found the perfect opening for it:

I think that's a great idea. Of course the ladies would have the perfect mum thread just like our cold ale/ coffe threads. They'd probably make comments about multi-tasking and organisational superiority, whilst we'd regale each other with tales of winging it that went well.

I presume all turned out ok. The shower's quite a good place for a swill down. Better than all over the carpet/ rug/ tiger skin etc. :D
