    A great lady! I love the story of how she fell and her husband rescued her, stole a plane and flew her to have surgery. Later, he became disabled and she cared for him...
    She fell off a motor cycle she was riding in 2000...what a woman!

    Sorry to wrench this thread away from fascinating redheads.

    Parker! a bottle of Champagne to Mr Trott at Lords please, the first double century by an England player (ok he's Irish really) since Petersen in 2006 (who's South African, but still.)
    And in the tradition of fair play and respecting one's opponent a bottle for Mr Shahadat for his 5 wickets.

    He sent a magnum, I understand.

    Quite right.

    A bottle of ginger ale in deference to his religion.*









    *Parker's religion, that is - saving money

    Any way back to the Redheads, does any one remember the gorgeous Susan Heyward?

    The way she would rake her experienced eyes over the romantic lead with a mixture of invitation and disdain. Like she was saying "So you think you're man enough do you?" Then her mouth - a half smile playing over her luscious lips, a little bit challengeing, a little bit sluttish, for the right man that is - a Yorkshire farmer for example.

    It is hard to resist that look in her eyes, she looks so inviting yet so confident.

    Have Parker send me a bottle of both, one to occupy myself during the games and one to settle my stomach afterwards....

    I am sure a Yorkshire farmer would be just the thing. Good old Susan, that was back in the day when a redhead was a redhead and not just a mousy blonde in disguise....

    Though, I still have a bit of a prejudice against redheads, owing to the fact that both Mr Sounds found them far superior to the average brunette...

    So, do men like confident women on the screen; or do they like them in the home as well Mr Sounds 1 thought my confidence was, at times, annoying; while Mr Sounds 2 found it just plain scary ; he always managed to disappear just as I was complaining to the carpet man, "Yes, it looks very nice; but I insist on having my front door put back on"

    I find confidence very attractive in women, too emotional women are the most annoying, as you really have to watch what you say and I do not find that attractive at all. Did someone pull your door down?

    Yes, the second Mr Sounds was a Navy fellow...a guy's guy...and I usually left him to swap stories with the repair men; I usually showed up a few minutes before to compliment them both, hand them a drink and a tip.
    On this particular day, I noticed that while the carpet looked magnificent; both the inner and outer doors were still laying in a pile. I insisted the fellow needed to rehang the doors and Mr Sounds said, "Oh, it's nothing, I can do it; just got to shave a little off the bottoms".
    I reminded Mr Sounds that, in Florida, inside doors were hollow. Mr Sounds looked alittle taken a back but still insisted we pay the fellow and give him a tip. We slept, that night, with a board nailed over the front door and the following day, it took Mr Sounds all day to refit and rehang the front door.

    It has been 25 years, and there are still no closet doors hanging

    Well... its Memorial Day weekend... I have three days off followed by a mere 7 more days of work before summer vacation. This is the one time of the year when I think, "Oh yeah... teaching's not a bad gig after all."

    I just completed my latest painting after a long day in the HOT studio and so now I'm sitting back... just finished steaks on the grill... and I'm listening to Kind of Blue with my second Young's Double Chocolate in hand... I have a Three Philosopher's Belgian Ale and a couple of Sam Smith Imperial Stouts waiting in the wings... along with the Rolling Stones on the disc changer. It's gonna be one of those nights.

    It looks like I have missed a weekend of unadulterated debauchery. Half naked women, glorious redheads, sailors, swinging doors and cricket. Life would have been so much better had we followed the words of the immortal Dryden.

    In pious times, ere priest-craft did begin,
    Before polygamy was made a sin;
    When man, on many, multipli,d his kind,
    Ere one to one was cursedly confined
    Promiscuous use of cocubine and bride;
    Then Israel's monarch, after Heaven's own heart,
    His vigorous warmth did variously impart
    To wives and slaves: and wide his command,
    Scattered his makers image through the land.

    This post was vetted and approved by Mrs Jocky.

    hey hey - StLukes !!
    Sounds like a great evening, savor the moment!!

    Whoa! I just noticed a slight spike on the Blokes thread intellectual meter. Must be the combination of StLukes presence and your quoting Dryden.
    Ahhh, too bad...looks like I pegged it back to "0".

    In the meantime, StLukes,I will enjoy a Spaten "Optimator" and deal with the Opossum's in the creek:




    I just took that photo about an hour ago. The old fella had our dogs in a fit of agitation.
    He is clamping down on a stick that I was attempting to use to carry him further away.

    The wife joined me on our slow slip sliddin' into inebriation (she with a lovely raspberry lambic) so I've post-poned the Stones and we're listening to some mellow Brubeck (the classic Take Five album).

    Well I broke out my bottle of Three Philosopher's Belgian Ale (10% alcohol!) Nietzsche is peachy... but nothing beats the three philosophers: Larry, Curly, and Moe... with the Stone blarin'!

    Rape! Murder! It's just a shout away!

    Gimme Shelter!



    Oh yeah... this one will do you in. (Thank God for spell check!) The only thing better is the hard stuff: Jack Daniels or Three Worm Tequila.

    "I'll stick my knife right down your throat, baby, and that hurts..."

    "I'm a monke..............y!!!"
