Bail bondsman? For that gargoyle? Reminds me however of the second of two (only two) Tarantino movies I really like - Jackie Brown Pam Grier ... Jackie Brown Samuel L. Jackson Samuel L. Jackson ... Ordell Robbie Robert Forster Robert Forster ... Max Cherry Bridget Fonda Bridget Fonda ... Melanie Ralston Michael Keaton Michael Keaton ... Ray Nicolette Robert De Niro Robert De Niro ... Louis Gara
Quite a list of stars. I'd be Max Cherry doing the collecting, coz that cheapskate would be sure to do a runner. I cannot remember Keaton in it.
@merc I always do better with women than with men! Good thing, that, aintit! When I go to the local RSL club on occasion, I see the punters, male of course, casting dark glares when I dare to chat with a female! That's as bad as wearing a hat (or a bicycle helmet) inside.
Lame rhymes are coming thick and fast. Your feeble humour is largely wasted you'd do much better if you copy-pasted! this I assure you Is the very last I'll respond no more to jibes or ribbing however ribald to complete the couplet (it's almost true) Please don't suggest I try bald
How about the Japanese eyebrows (hikimayu) of the Heian era? Not to mention the blackened teeth.
Hikimayu was the practice of removing the natural eyebrows and painting smudge-like eyebrows on the forehead in pre-modern Japan. Women also started painting their teeth black, which is known as ohaguro.
and to @ysabel greetings too - I had to search for Christmas Island, because it obviously is not Australia's Christmas island, and not many would speak tagalog there for sure. So kiribas, thereabouts?
7:30, the first blue-sky day for two weeks, sodden lawn but clothes hung out to dry at last. Oh but the crickets have never stopped and now the kookaburras call their last evening post.
@merc nowhere near what it used to be ... just had to submit my passport photo, and I see it expired in Aug 2020 - just like my China visa expired Mar 2020. But even if it were still valid, could I go anywhere?
A few, not so many more, would be good. 1. Block member (or classified group) from thread. 2. Make said member invisible to you locally or globally. 2. Filter OUT select topics rather than filter BY eg filter out threads which are locked or exclude reply. Filter out GOD and not GOD. Filter out VHK or epirb or willie or Fargofan! Filter out kitchen cabinet makers!
So you sheet this case down to current POTUS do you? And the massage parlour murders? How about the Chch massacre? Who's the culprit there? And the Las Vegas Massacre? hmmm? try the Kunming station Uighur knife attacks, to remove the common gun feature. Or the road vehicle attacks? Where does your waggly finger point? Seems somewhat selective and self-serving, wouldn't you admit if you could reflect a little?
How to chastise Shopping cart dumpers (without getting beaten up or shot) so that it makes a difference and your street is not littered with abandoned carts.
@miclee you thought 'Get Smart' was memorable? Well, need we say more? There used to be a show 'Leave it to Beaver' and my mind is likewise blank in this regard, apart from the title. As a teenager I fancied Shari Lewis and recall Annette Funicello! But as for their show content - nada!
@crypt and @hpy When malicious people spread malevolent lies based on bias and religious dementia (such as the author of this thread appears to do), they must be addressed and halted. Defenders of such people are scarcely better. Rather than attack one who defends probable fact against total fiction, you two would do well to consider, reflect, and try some rationality.
@ysabel I have rarely if ever met people of whom my initial judgement was wrong (for me). But of course of many I made no initial judgement. I have never met anyone for whom I later received some history that made any difference. Whilst I can imagine such a thing happening, and being affected by such word, it just hasn't happened. What then is behind your question?
@ed Lent originally was perhaps a pagan festival, hence the rutting bunnies and egg symbology. So was Christmas. The Church absorbed pagan festivals being undesirably associated with ... well you know
RE: Songs I don't get tired of hearing...
Speaking of Brecht, nothing of his ever tires or fades ... listen to the rrrrrrrrrrrrr in these songs also in Italian
