Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[Paulclem]

Canadian women athletes are like the best of both worlds, female bodies that even other women gawk at; but the thought process of a bloke...ya gotta love it I only wish I was there with a camera for the party after the drinking of champagne and smoking of cigars


Gosh, I traveled some distance with Edward, didn't I; well, I was only about 200 years off on the time Jocky, you are being modest, your depth of knowledge could not possibly all be gleened from the bits and pieces on google...
I read some fictional stories which are thinly veiled historical accounts; like Fitzgeralds novels, the Captains and Kings seem to parallel the Kennedys, there was an anonymous movie and book that was most likely Bill Clinton...sometimes they take me to all that hidden gossip (like labotomized children; sometimes they take me to Charleton and Elcid
Oh, In one of the stories, they made Hugh a Scottsman...


Yes, Charletons natural persnickityness was very effective in Planet of the apes; and I loved Roddy MacDowell. I never quite liked Charleton in other movies; his gayness was always bleeding through in the love scenes...
Gosh, is he still around, or are they strapping his corpse to a NRA sign

Apparently he's gone according to Satan. I wasn't sure. Perhaps the corpse strapping is where I've seen him.

I remember reading the Roddy spent time with the chimps at the zoo. It was in one of our trashier papers though, and the film was coming out.

[Satan]

He might though Satan - I though you would have been able to enlighten us there.

I read the reviews and didn't bother. Farrell is good in In Bruges though.

I would send him back in action if only to smite the anti-gun lobby.

In Bruges is one of my favorite movies. Brits never disappoint me with their uncanny dark humor and witty dialogs. They just can't make movies like Sexy Beast in Hollywood.

You are all getting way too clever for old Jocky, ninety percent of this stuff is way over my head anyway. We have even got the Devil on the premises now, should I report him to the committee Atheist? Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Floods, Englishmen, Yanks, nearly intelligent women....will it ever end? I remember when this used to be a repectable thread, back in the day when we used to discuss Jane Austen and her contribution to.......can anyone remind me?

Aaah, now I am with you Soundo. You are thinking of Hugh the Dispenser who is the pharmacist who supplies me with my hit in the local chemist every giro day. I lie on my bare mattress on the wooden floor and dream of Scott Fitzgerald and how many drinks he managed, in between writing The Great Gatsby. Chuck would have managed the role extremely better than the insipid Redford and the silken Mia Farroway. It is back to the heroine for me.

Jocky,
I understand what you are driving at, but I'm not sure I can offer a whole lot to console you.
Let me see...I'm digging through my bag of overused props. Here's the Wild Turkey-no, we've had enough of that. Marfa Lights, Jackalopes...no, no. Ah hah, here we go; we haven't checked in on the Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy. Let's see what these blokes are up to:

Gee, not a whole lot going on there other than a little ditty by the National Geograhic titled Bigfoot's Big Foot.

Gilly, I knew you would come through for me. Me and you have been through a lot together, despite all the doubters. This may come as a shock but my favourite band were named Little Feet, I hope I have not put my bigfoot in it again. Let them scoff, what do they know? Keep away from that Mick, he does not believe in Marfa lights, jackalopes and great big feet. It is obviously a cultural thing.

[prendrelemick]

If Gilly says its true, thats good enough for me. On a more blokey subject, was anyone else transfixed by the Womens Slalom?- All that skin tight lycra and swaying Gluteus Maximuses. Its what wide-screen was invented for.

Actually after much research I discovered a hitherto unknown direct correlation between the shapeliness of said muscleature and the position on the leader board. * My wife who has no respect for scientific enquiry was heard to mutter "Pervert" on being informed of my discovery.


* see the german girls in the Super G.

[gbrekken]

In need of a bit of humor? You can always count on this thread. don't know if Heston is still alive, but public works/speaking are rarer now that dementia has reclaimed him. Men's hockey gold starts in ten minutes. Guess what I'll be doing. Cross country ski ladies have admirable gluts as well, though I'm not scientific.

Good luck with that one GB, go get the Canucks and remember the Blokes Thread always supports our own.

Ouch! that was a sore one Gbrekken. Miller was outstanding but he could not win it on his own. Two Canadian referees, what was that all about? Welcome to the losers club, I will meet you in the Dreary Beery and we can sit upon the ground and tell tales of what might have been. In the meantime pour yourself a large scotch, kick the cat and ignore your Missus completely.

[jocky]

I have had a complete sense of humour failure. Mrs Jocky said the words that no man ever wants to hear," Jocky the hoose needs redecorated ", excuse the vernacular. Well it was down to the cellar to collect the instruments of torture, boiler suit, step ladder, pasting table, paint brushes and turpentine. Guys you know where I am coming from, the annual divorce. " are you sure that wallpaper is on correctly, it looks bubbly to me? "
Yes darling, just wait until it dries. " That roof looks very patchy ". It is okay cuddles I just need to give it a second coat. " Hmmm, I am not so sure about the wallpaper, and the paint is not exactly what I imagined " The brushes go flying out the window and the stepladder gets badly roughed up . " Well if you are going to be like that I am gong back to my mothers. "

[The Atheist]

...back in the day when we used to discuss Jane Austen and her contribution to.......can anyone remind me?

George Orwell liked her.

Goes to show that even the greats can have poor taste.

The only woman author worth the name was Enid Blyton.

If Gilly says its true, thats good enough for me. On a more blokey subject, was anyone else transfixed by the Womens Slalom?- All that skin tight lycra and swaying Gluteus Maximuses. Its what wide-screen was invented for.

The class of the athletes has been a major discussion point.

We should have winter Olympics every year!

I will send flowers.

It is after the watershed Atheist, did you ever hear about her and the famous five ? Enoch Blyton more like it, a racist who deserved the label and should have never have been served up to our kids.

(five laughing smilies)

Tight lycra is truly an impressive material. I'm particularly amazed in the elastcicity of the material and how the iridescent synthetic fibers manipulate light reflecting off the snow.
Reminds me of the old saying; "no two lycras are alyc"

No need to excuse the vernacular.
Your vernacular is our vernacular, but I must ask; why would you want to redecorate a garden hoose?

Oh yeah, Hugh the Dispenser of fire water and funny grass
You know, I haven't really seen a fitzgerald book that has come together well as a movie; even DeNiro in The Last Tycoon didn't quite get it.
I think Timothy Dalton would have made a good Gatsby...he does misery well.

Apparently he's gone according to Satan. I wasn't sure. Perhaps the corpse strapping is where I've seen him.
I remember reading the Roddy spent time with the chimps at the zoo. It was in one of our trashier papers though, and the film was coming out.

I can see Roddy doing that. I am racking my brain trying to remember a story about a famous actor that was stolen from the funeral parlor for one last joy ride with his friends...any ideas.

No sir, those are bums we can all appreciate.

You have my sympathy. Sounds like you still have the oil based paints...at least they last for 20 years. I didn't mind painting the house when it was newer; now that the outside wood is all beaten up, it is a nightmare. We use latex based paints here and the stores can match a scarf or picture, they place a bit of paint on cardboard and blow dry it. The only thing they can't predict is what color it turns over your existing paint of a concrete wall
I wallpapered my kitchen 30 years ago, I recently tried to remove the paper; the glue is still tough as ever to remove

Ah Jocky, you tell only half the tale. ( I know you are trying to protect us from the full horror.)

Its the psychological torture of the design process, in which your opinions are constantly sought yet always ignored.
Where days are spent looking at pattern books, that make a Jane Austin seem like a page turner.
Where trips to Hell (Dunelm's soft furnishings.)are constantly taken.
Words like "Swatch books" and "colour co-ordination" are thrown at you unexpectedly.

Whats wrong with whitewash, I'd like to know.
