"no biggie. If I can survive losing her clothes in the north Georgia woods, I'm far beyond blushing. I'm just putting Thag on."

Did I fit????

[bootless]

Clogs for guys? Only if they're surgeons.

[peacebaby]

Did you fit when I put you on?

All except where those discos of yours go....I had a little crotch problem there...

[Alkhin]

Yes! Zarin! He was GREAT! I had such a thrill watching him. And he has me bug-eyed worried...tells you how caught up I am by the new stuff.

I like the female Starbuck because she is exactly as I would imagine the character would be, female OR male. I dont get the feminist vibe off her, and she doesnt get prissy over being a female pilot. She owns the part, you know? Unlike Natalie Portman/Amidala who is supposed to be a fighter-queen, but looks like she'd rather turn the gun into a purse and her boots into Manolo Blahniks. Carrie Fisher/Princess Leia was so cool because she was no-holds barred even if she was wearing senatorial robes. Portman/Amidala looked like she would crumble and whimper into her Blahniks if you so much as barked at her. Fisher/Leia would not only bark back but BITE.

I like female characters like that, especially if they are supposed to be in occupations/situations where that sort of thing helps them survive.

Foster Brooks?

"Did I fit????"

You have to ask? Is it really that BIG? Enough about your sex life, before the mods spank me.

I feel this uncanny desire to drop in and have a beer with this crowd...maybe even buy a round. Too bad it's a virtual community.

Well, here's a virtual beer.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

I think you are right about Amidala. Too prissy.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Thanks for the beer, I needed that.

[Dashing Dasher]

too much head..

[Oberon]

too much head...

This is the sound of me not saying the first thing that popped into my mind, so as to not get the Admin on my case.

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

He's a very, very unattractive man, but I love his music.

[thag]

"too much head.."

No such thing....

Thag go home now......bye!!!!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

"too much head.."

You are talking to a man, to them there is NEVER too much head.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

I think I said it for you.

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

Yes, "One Tin Soldier" was a real song by a group called Coven. My mother had that album.

[RightOnline]

No offense........but never heard of 'em. More of a local band made up of guys in formerly 'big' groups??

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Bye thag, be good or at least be good at it!

[peacebaby]

slurp!

Hey, JerseyRepublicanBikerChick, did you notice the head on that one? (sorr, admin, I couldn't resist.)

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

I loved all of those songs, but I was only 11 at the time so I'll blame it on the ignorance of youth.
