"Drinking" with "friends" in the abandoned ballroom, eh?

Dear God! what is that stench? Please don't tell me Phil Spector cut the cheese.

He might be hiding some cheese in that hair-do.

Unless he comes in a truck filled with fish and with a shirt which says "Punish me", this won't be a fair trial.
Who? Phil Spector? Now that would be interesting.

I have e-mails from him. :rolleyes:

That reminds me ... I had a neighbor who used to get TV and reality mixed up. Everytime she saw me she would call me Rachel. I never could figure out why she did that until one day she asked me how Ross was doing.
That's too funny. :biggrin:

Can you believe I have never seen The Shining?
I live a sheltered life. I have never seen any of The Godfather movies either.

Hahaha... :smile::smile: I didn't know such things actually happen..

After seeing a picture of him, I definitely agree. Maybe he and Red Rum should come together. :-p

Wow. :bugeye:

If it's any consolation, I had to google who Phil Spector is.

I haven't really been very enamored of Stephen King's movies, but have never read any of his books to know if I'd like that version better (usually books are way better than movie versions of them). The Godfather is definitely worth watching, especially the original one. The third one was pretty crappy; you could live just fine without ever seeing that one.

You people should be strapped into a cinema and forced to look at all the good movies out there. And yes, I'd pour a truck load of pop-corn on you, too. :devil: :-p

Yay! Free popcorn! Of course, I would be drowning in it.
What year was The Shining anyway?

I'll take the popcorn, but it wouldn't take long to watch all the good movies out since there are so few of them anymore. :-p

Probably before you were born. :rolleyes: 1980. (I don't know how old you are, but based on you having never heard of the movie, I'm assuming that was before you were born.)

Hi everyone

Hi everyone. Sorry I missed the party, cause I could have used a few of those margaritas. Thanks for all the fish. When Evo thought me up she gave me some excellent , fascinating and slightly quirky personality traits. If anyone ever wants to know anything about anything fermented, including stinky cheeses, but excluding cadavers, I'm your man.
 
  • #103
I've known who Phil Spector was since the Beattles era, and I have a VHS movie staring Lana Clarkson (or, more accurately, parts of her :redface:). I never realized, until the above-posted photo appeared, how much he resembles a dandilion gone to seed.
I will readily admit that I've never seen any of the movies in question, and have no desire to. 'The Godfather' parts I-III came on TV last weekend, in a marathon. I switched to Discovery Channel. Sorry, just not my sort of entertainment. (On the other hand, I absolutely loved the new FF movie.)

Wow, I didn't realize Evo had such an active imagination that she could even make it post! :biggrin:

Welcome to PF, at long last! :smile:

As for fermentation, I prefer sticking with those of the beer and wine variety. :wink:

Me too. Evo made me a brewer. It probably fulfills some fundamental need.

You're here!

I hope to see you around here. You'd be a plus in biology, although your specialty only rarely comes up. :biggrin:

Yes, I thought a brewer would come in handy.

Hey, didn't you tend cattle at one time? Moonbear does sheep.

Moonbear does sheep.

:rolleyes: Care to rephrase that? :rolleyes:

If he's studied cattle fermentation, he'll have something in common with Iansmith too. (Um, fermentation BY cattle, not OF cattle. :rolleyes: :biggrin:)

Welcome, Red Rum! :smile:

(Btw, if Evo's mind can really "make it write", I wonder how many users here on PF are actually real people? :confused: :-p)

He "does" sheep? I have practiced AI, but I can never say I have done a cow or any other beast. Even during those long lonely nights in the saudi desert I was never tempted. Even though the camels were hobbled.

Thanks, Radou. And yes, she really is very talented.
 
  • #112
Wow! So he's real not imaginary!:cool:

Red Rum said:

See, now that comment even has you confused on my gender. I'm a "she." :smile: All of Evo's chocolate deliveries will be forwarded to my mailbox for that. :-p

I have practiced AI,
That's okay, keep practicing and you'll eventually get good at it. :biggrin:

As for my involvement with sheep, I guess you could say I take their brains apart to figure out how AI works (or more importantly, what goes wrong when it doesn't work). :wink:

Moonbear is a she. She lures sheep into thinking they're about to get some nooky, then she cuts their brains open. :cry:

And well done whoever googled Red Rum, identified the horse and also made the link with murder. This link first came to public prominence when the IRA bombed Ascot during what I think was Red Rum's third victory. The British press had a field day.

:smile: :smile: Not even tempted? Now, that's an iron will.

And she obviously likes to flatter to herself in different ways. :-p

Indeed I guessed she was a she and was inclined to take that into account in my reply, but decided to throw caution to the wind. Evo, why are you making me say these things. They'll think I'm insane.

Flatter, flagellate, what's the difference?

He was almost a priest. All of my imaginary friends have very intersting life stories.

And she obviously likes to flatter to herself in different ways. :-p
You betcha.
