Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[soundofmusic]

Who's that?

Whoever it is, I think that that's too abrupt a transition from flora to fauna, so here's a picture to get us there more smoothly.

Looks like you just rescued her from the 7 dwarfs, Mark. I've always wondered if the prince carried mouth wash, I really wouldn't want to kiss someone who had been sleeping that long.

Sanity has been restored at last by farmer Mick and the man who started it all in the first place Mark Bastable.

If you look very closely at Steffi's breasts with the aid of a damn fine magnifying glass you will clearly see a minute imbalance between the left and right breast. It is well for a chap to notice these details.

Now you see, it's comments like this and Jockeys incredible literature range tht has sometimes had me thinking Mrs. J has taken over his identity.

In your dreams Bastable! (mine too)






Jocky: Could be, but its all about the legs with Steffi.

Oh, my poor lads, I see I've left you too long and you are again fantasizing about the boobless wonder...I must admit, those are great stilts though.

What a woman!

She is one of the reasons I hate Andre Agassi so much, Imagine a bloke who married her and Brooke Shields. Ok, she's crazy, but....

Okay, what is the attraction of Agassi, money or a long tongue

[QUOTE=MarkBastable;1053536]Alright - I have another idea for a thread. Like the flowers thing, it has a slightly non-hairy-arsed element, but I think there's enough swinging dickery about it to be worth a shot.

So - women in representational art whom you would oblige.

Nudes are obviously allowed, but I'll start off with an ethereal floaty hippy one.



The model for this was Jane Morris. She and the other great pre-Raphaelite muse - Lizzie Siddall - were both total knockouts, if the pictures they sat for - and contemporary accounts - are anything to go by. They certainly appeal to the adolescent bit of me that will forever regret having been born a bit too late for Woodstock and the Stones in Hyde Park.

And while I'm at it...

Heineken don't make late Victorian outdoor jacuzzis, but if they did, they'd probably be the best late Victorian outdoor jacuzzis in the world...

Love the nymphs, never noticed Sidal had such a big neck, I wonder if she had an adams apple too

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.

I think as far as cartoon movies go....

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.

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.

[jocky]

These are all impressive but this guy was the daddy:

[DocHeart]

So cool. So collected.

The best ones were, yes. The later ones were Hanna-Barbera, and they were crap, and the early ones hadn't found the right balance.

I have to say I never found Popeye in the least funny. Same goes for the Disney stable. My feeling it is that, at a push, I could separate the people I like from the people I dislike along a Daffy-Donald axis.

I may have mentioned this before but it's written into my will that as my body is committed to the flames, the accompanying music must be the sting from Warner Brother cartoons, timed so that as the furnace doors close on my coffin the mourners are advised that 'Tha-tha-der-der-that's all, folks!"

Here's where I start (or should that be continue) boring everyone on here by mentioning the test series against India. Great win for England today, but I would like the little God to get another 100.

[Paulclem]

Tom and Jerry were brill - you're right Mark. The later ones were crap.

Do you remember Arthur The King of Camelot? I always got a profound sense of disappointment watching it.



But I did like the Hair Bear Bunch.



I also thought you'd like to know that i got the kids a little treat tday. We're a long way from Christmas, and so I thought I'd bring a little cheer into their lives.



They are just like the chicken ones except you do get a flavour of stuffing... and then noodles in an indeterminate sauce, but hey - they were only £1.20 for 3.

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.

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.

You spoil them kids Paul.

I know - there were no Pot Noodles when I were a lad. It were a vesta meal.

Yeah - nightmare job. the thing was you couldn't get a job down there even if you were mad enough to want one. You had to have family in the "business" to get a look in. Talk about inverted snobbery.

My relatives were - amongst others - cow herders from County Durham. My Grandad left and became a shepherd. My other Grandad was a sailor from WW1 to just before WW2. My Great Great Grandad was a miner.

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