Chess in the eleventh grade.
Venus In Furs
from The Velvet Underground & Nico
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl child in the dark
Comes and goes, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl child in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells
Please don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
This link explains the song lyrics.

MooseCruel, you bitch. :0)
Take that.
Climbing can never be a companion, only your mistress or master.
DON'T CONTADICT ME, WORM!

T Hocking, answering your question from the other thread about the Tioga upgrade.
I don't need no steenkin' upgrade and my apartment don't neither.
Here, take a look, but first lemme 'splain the plan here. No apartments get renovated until the tenants move out. Then, they get around to it, depending. Some empties get fixed up quick, others are left with stains, ehem, reminiscent of the stalls on yer CD.
In my place the carpet and tile are new as of 2012, and the same for the AC/heater. The carpet soesn't match the drapes because I have only a Venusian Blind Fly Trap in the window. The paint...meh.
I visited Feaver today in the Star Bar and went to his place around the corner. I like mine bettr by far, as it's homier by far, but I work at it while he sits in the Star Bar, has a monster TV at home, and is happy living over Bobby Staring's garage..,So WTF.

Dingus, briefly, the wall started with the print-outs of various spires, then worked its way to the OK Corral fixation, then to the banner year of SF sports, tag-teaming with men's mags and mom's kitsch.
There will be pix in plenty. U betcha.
Springtime means n00bish green things.

Thanks from the deep down bottom of my heart, for the ride, the ticket, and the camping. And the fun without the sun!
I happened to be shooting in the Indian Village next to the Yosemite Museum, when along came this giant gnome, another one-time denizen of the vicinity of North Merced County, like Delhi, being exposed to country ways, see. Then he had to become a "town kid," and that was followed eventually by an apprenticeship under that Batso dude with that whole posse. This old plaster of Paris map is just a foot taller than Glenn, probably weighs a lot more, too.

A Fire Down Below
An exclusive for The Flames thread, from L. Mouse de la Merced.
For Sterling Johnson and the Cast and Crew of Through the Eyes of a Buffalo Soldier, it was a huge night...(continued on pagina Quatro)....oops, ran out of copy.
I would have stuck around for the whole film, except for my embarrassing coughing fit.

And this was the Premiere, after all.
I loved what I saw, pertaining to Freedom, especially.
The Alternative Filmic Pride Prize, the Oscar the Grouch Award.Oscar de la Groucho, stat and director of Without Wages in Sinaloa, co-produced by Oscar de la Hoya, Karl-Oscar of Minnesota (rich bacelor farmer), and by the new film, Oscar is Always Right On, coming to Drive-In Theaters only, due to recent adwances in Smella-vision techniques.
It's my inner paparazzo, friends--he just won't let go.

It is time to Trip Report.
The lollygags are off. The punch lines are coming to a theater near you.
I liked camping in Upper Pines this week. It had distinct advantages over Camp 4, according to Mrs. Carolyn Daley, camping enthusiast and Martha of the Outdoors in my eyes. She's from Newman, near Hilmar, which does nothing to explain her talents, but let's say she is organized like Old Charlie Wooster from Rawhide. Not to mention that she's much better to look at.
We rolled into camp, Derek and I, at around ten p.m. on Friday. How long Carolyn had been there, I am not sure, but since the early morning, for sure. She elected to take a site in the Upper Pines Camp when she figured that walking in to Camp 4 with 3 canopies & two tents was just TOO INTENSE an experience. So we had the best site, in the first loop, near the main road and the toilet, each only requiring a slight jog to the shuttle stop or the turlett. And it was set up and still dry, as well.
It was cold, though, and boring, for her, having to wait for us, but she made do. If there were a bible quote you might like about faithful and dutiful wives, otay, this is the place for it.
I prefer this one shot of many wives.All the pix of camp are blurred, the autofocus thing again...
More, later today. Why rush good things?

MOMs sure know how to say it, don't they...
good kind advice, sticks with us, for years...
they may THINK it goes in-and-out our ears...
but in the 'long run' it's a hip-hip ha'ray!
