Thank you, neebee, once again you've given me inspiration for Flames content.
I was thinking of Flip Flop as I wrote this, partly.
He is a fluent Spanish speaker.
Things we find out by meetin' in person.
Things that just happen with no rehearsin'
Things we can't know unless we talk turkey
Do you like salsa? I'm partial to jerky.
aka zoris, go-aheads, sandals, shower shoes
My first wife was Dolores, meaning sorrow, and her Spanish was poor.

My second wife was Elizabeth, meaning God's gift, and who practiced her Spanish daily in the ER.
Another coincidence, not meaning much except to me, of course. Just sharin'.
Actual Flames content here/
The young Elvis, a matinee idol (and from the looks of the video a good rider) starred in Flaming Star with Miss Del Rio in support.
[Click to View YouTube Video]
Flaming Star (1960)
Director--Don Siegel
Elvis Presley, Barbara Eden, Steve Forrest, Dolores Del Rio, John McIntire.
Elvis is excellent as a half-breed Indian who must change sides when his mother's people go on the warpath. No songs after the first ten minutes, but lots of action; arguably Elvis' best performance. Cinemascope.
--L. Maltin's Classic Movies Guide
Arguably - ˈärɡy(əw)əblē
Fair warning: do not use this word on this thread. Bad vibes will ensue. This word is possibly one of the least effective words because it assumes antipathy and willingness to argue; the lack of a willingness to discuss or bandy about or kick an idea around; lack of directness, as well, weakening one's own side.
Word imagery often depends upon immediate impact. What one writes, especially, says what it says, set in stone for all to see, and the effects are immediate. With speech, this seems to be different, at least to me. Words can be taken back just as soon as they are heard if communication is not happening.
But if you're Strother Martin, say, and the warden or 'Boss,' then you can say what you damn well please and if the shat hits the fin, you can blame it on a lack of communication or whatever else seems handy.
"He was a born loser, that one."
"Feckin' eedjut, 'e was."
How many of you read what Gnome just posted? I scanned it, that's all, there was nothing to which to react, really. Just a vacuum, nada.
Please try harder, bud. Muchas gracias. :0(
To lighten things up, to help start your day...
the poetic Mouse has come to play an old tune from the past,
Inagaddadaplanada.
Drivin' my Granada through La Canada
I saw this hot tamale
said her name was Jolly Polly
But everyone in Planada
Calls her Maria Salvador Dolores Ordonez-Enchilada
Told her I was from Taco Town
She axed me did I know zBrown?
That sealed the deal
We had a meal
Only beans and rice
But it was really nice
For us it did suffice
We're now two happy mice
MFM this morning already after one or two cups of ginseng coffee
Vlip Vlop is right, we are VAT as hell and won't take it any more!
And as a sop to my friend Gnome, whose contributions give this place some spice, here ya go.

Yes Nada,( no less nada than unsecured pictures of small rocks )
Times trice, I tried
And tried and came back again.
I was up and reading that page, then
and went back to find
What was it ? ( other than the pre iced need to add Flames to the game )heat!
Let me see ?
it was Nahooo that I followed 'round to find a thread that , you mfm,
were the last to post to;
5.16a who and when. . . . .i bumped it saying nada - eida
The history of early ascents therein was then the very climb I took.
I climbed high till 5:40,
to come back and find that on the top , front page
all the subjects were to me scary, sad and banal
That was all that was to be had,
stalled out
So you call me out
call me for trying ?
That right in line with how I feel
Planting bushes has this climbers dreams
 well it is still a just a squeeze of lemon to
My lemonade. The drink I recommend
Mort, morn , warning thin ice,
I have alwAys jumped rite,
Right in and out
Burger, bugger, balls
I'm blocked

Then now, I just went back - that is a fifth thyme
And seeing this I was again inspired
The other two climbs that were pictured ? One I've been on, but,
I'll defer, & not post . . . . to acknowledge filed complaints,
That I cut & Paste. . .
Of corse, if the course you take is to flick me off ( now that would be corse )
I am that flake
Time to fold the laundry

I'm calling you a sweater.
You can block a sweater,
But writers don't block.
It's a convenient word, I admit.
But is that what really happens?
I'm inclined to think that you cannot stay focused.
It's in line with my sassessment of you from speaking on the phone.
I have a better idea of your personality.
Let me say that our friendship is based on climbing, numero uno, but the love of wirdplay is a parent to us both.
There is the audience. We are speaking to them. They need to be led by the nose, pushed around, shocked, reviled, even.
The writing clinic is over. Time's up. It's time for art class.
The artist formerly known as Moab Hode Scuz Jokes tells me it is a third part to a tribute to Alfred Wegener, who was the scientist who proposed the Continental Drift Theory in the early twentieth century. Simply put, his hypothesis proposed that the continents had once been joined, and over time had drifted apart.
Well, that explains it, Lucy.
Larry also has another work called The Perfect One or some such, but he has cleverly placed little turds of clay behind him, because no one is perfect.
I say, "Define perfection for yourself & don't expect others to follow your lead." It's a compliment when that following happens. Gnome, I'm trying to be gracious here, and I'm sure that you understand.
Thanks and your remarks are....remarkable. :0)

Yup? Or nada?
It is the curse
Yes addled a or some such,
" you are a strange one" some very well papered Dr's
And a panel too have called me,
( strange Duck, I never tried to explain to jstan, what it is about Ducks ,smokin'
Aflac, or what, strange)
Um
I have been given me a diagnoses same as you have given me,
And so I suffer from a medically controllable condition
A D H D man auto correct won't spell it nada ,
the prescription for a fake / maybe not malady ?
Well sure I'll take . . . . . what have ya got Doc?
SPEED? Yahoo yo, that is what I need !
Okay not to be so flip,
The idea was to get me through puberty
That was it.
So knowing this,
that I was not getting all that ( a life long addiction to psycho-tropic drugs - too)
since I knew the throw away was due,
since neither Law or Med school was in my future,
A degree in the humanities? What was that good for?
Instead,
I went to Cookng school
and just
Climbed
Climbed
Climbed
Zzz's share not with standing
love 'em otters
FOCUS, Damn it . . . It is true. .madd falling to it too,
I skew head N jury but mostly an act, that is, mostly meant to
Dis-arm, ( hard to climb like that )Crazy is what some in society calls us
(Me)
seeing what we do; climbing, sleeping in the dirt & lovin'it,
(And I do, and miss it more than I should,)
( it only seems romantic if there is a warm bed & shower in the light at the end of the tunnel).
Now what?
Ritalin, Tegretol & a zine!
a 'zine for those who have no idea what I'm talkin' about,
is from the pharmaceutical branch of drugs, that cause Calm. .,.
used to help folks who may have a bad trip goin' down.
See if the Docs can get you, can convince one that one is better calm & still, happier!
They will kill you with the stuff of dreams if you're are into climbing in your mind.
But to be turned dependent on those pills in a cocktail, leads to
No joy , no highs ( so no lows to)
This is a very personal share ,
and to be fair, I rarely suffer, from the Big, Do MySelf, Blues.
If I resit the beers and the Dew I'm fine thank you.
If I get the med in vogue I'm a happy camper
Nes pa?
Sorry this needs punctuation
Or
I need to be punched, to be laid out for runout sentancezz

Hadn't these dumb Finlanders otter be speakin' English by now.

Supply your own captions, but be forewarned, animal porn is frowned on in Finland.

BTW in Finland we called them thongs. Then some dumb American or Brazillian stuck 'em in women's butts and it was all over but the shoutin'. If you know what I mean?
I can't confirm these are the same ones, but Prince used to wear them on Sunset Blvd.
These are definitely the ones he wore at the gym. I got them (autograhed no less), in my closet.
I believe that is an infinite elephant ring there on Michele's toe. Again, I receive no royalties here.

Drive on my friend. ONHWY61 is my license plate.
It might have been Drive, He Said.
Don't lie
Don't Cheat
Don't be afraid
Directed by Jack Nicholson no less. Who is rumoured to know his way around the court (and even some of the Forum tunnels), if you know what I mean.
Remember when he beat the sheeit out of some guys car with a golf club. Rumour is that he was a bit "frustrated" that day, if you know what I mean.
Jack directed this classic.

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years
--Traffic, Mr. Fantasy
The New Age is upon us again. Talk to the machine.

Gourmet Doin's at the Sunset Inn
Why waste it, brother?
It's like I've always said.
Eat that big old bugger
Fresh and hot from your head.
Haven't got one? GET ONE!
Ask your neighbors, boy.
Dig it out with your dildo
Or some other toy.
Once it's on your finger
In the light of day
Look to see who's lookin',
Then glance the other way.
When no one' is lookin',
Here's what you do, son,
Place it like a wad of chew,
Twixt your cheek and gum.
Good old Willie Nelson,
Jerry Seinfeld, too,
They both hold there's none better'n
A good hardd booger chew.
God bless the dry air
At elevations high.
If you've run out of food
Then you ain't a-gonna die.
If someone catches you
With a finger up your nose,
Reach down, grab some jam,
From between your toes.
Or you could do like Millis did
When he went out to eat,
Puke at will on their car's hood,
You'll find it's really neat.
I learned my sh#t from the best.
Rest assured, old Millis, that your spirit lives.
Jeff Stubbs photo
Millis taught me that slogan, Throwpie.
But it goes like this: "You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose."
Glad you picked that shot, bud.
Thanks for posting that one instead of some more gross pic.

Try this in your thong while wearing a thong and singin' a song.
It won't be long, ere you're gonna die!
[Click to View YouTube Video]
[Click to View YouTube Video]Is your heart filled with pain?
Is there too much slack in your chain?
Darling, I'm lonesome tonight.
I've lived, my life is full,
Traveled each and every highway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times
I'm sure your knew,
When I found I'd lost a shoe,
But through it all when there was doubt,
I've lost my lunch and spit it out,
But didn't fall and I stood tall
And did it anyway.
In memory of Dean S. Potter (April 14, 1972 – May 16, 2015).

Let's give a moment to think of Richie Copeland, as well.
"Rich was a throwback form from the 70's only he appeared in a more recent time.
A real true hardman to the form we've all seen and dreamed how one would be.
He told us his previous life on the Ford motor company assembly line as we listened in awe.
A true pure bred blue collar dude, every mans working stiff we all so easily could relate to and admire.
You'll be truly missed by us lifer tribe you so loved also.
You're already missed dearly.
Goodbye our good friend until we meet again......"

'He smiled understandingly -- much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in your life. It faced -- or seemed to face -- the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey."

I have such interesting phone talks with my sister lennypenny.
Today it is poo,
Tomorrow could be bread.
I love Lenna Lou
When it's all done and said.
At least she didn't step in it.
