I think Gordon may have been a bit dim, because you know, the puppet gene pool didn't stretch that far in the Thunderbirds... but GWB2 got the part
well now it's funny you say that because David Hartnell told me that Gordon was the love child of Flash Gordon and Barbara Bush. Apparently it was Barbara who pulled the strings. They also childed Lady Penelope who in turn had an illicit affair with Joe 90, from whence Paris was born (although she was abandoned as a child in some hotel apparently because she was just too plastic and they figured she'd damage the show's credibility).
Starting to add up now?BarkinBoyChops surely is a good moniker, but don't dematerialize just yet m, it'll be ok. have a cocoa and an early night.

merc,
But we got invited to a real party, with other people, it was joy! I didn't even stuff up, no incidents, though I see some people still blanch at the blue arm (Hunter S and Ralph Steadman, The Curse of Lono).
BTW, I don't like where you're taking this Hartnell stuff, really, I like Paris, and poor Joe, you know, they left bits off him, it's not his fault.
And the good thing, no matter how silly we get on this thread we will never be topped by, you know the nameless from that other thread. I like the way the THEATRE thing is shaping up though, we shall get the Grant, my precious. -
So the affair between Sam Loover and Lady Penelope was just a rumour ?
-
merc,
To some, Lady Penelope is beyond reproach, indeed anyone with a pink car is. I used to know a person with a pink GTR XU1, and then a Capri (German). She had them both painted hot pink. Respect.

I see some people still blanch at the blue arm
what, they had you unblocking toilets? that doesn't sound incident-free.
So the affair between Sam Loover and Lady Penelope was just a rumour
yeah, that was just a smoke screen for the Joe 90 thing, which as merc alludes to, was not without its difficulties.
Lady Penelope is beyond reproach
i agree, although while i think a six wheeled Roller (or was it a Daimler) looks good in pink i'm not so sure about that colour on an XU1.

the nameless
Hobby Hose Enthusiast or Dud4Jaundice?

merc,
Clean as you go we say. Pink XU1, perfect for Newmarket in 1978, such a strange car (un-drivable at speed), such strange times. I wear pink boardshorts on occasion, in a manly way, you know.
The nameless are so, because as you know a name is sacred and can evoke things, so they remain. -
Clean as you go
yes but that really is going to extremes, it's like Reverse Howard Hughs Syndrome.
yeah those XU1s were pretty and fast but drove and ran like crap.
i wore a grey and baby pink shirt in the early 80s. i'm afraid it was not remotely manly.a name is sacred and can evoke things
true. and from hence Old Nick and Jeepers Creepers.
Bruce Chatwin's Songlines made for a nice study of the point. -
merc,
There is no syndrome I have left unturned. XU1's pretty? At least you can mention the shirt, I had a baby pink sweatshirt for a time, it hurts to remember that.
I read Songlines, I like The Dreamtime. Bruce had a kind of sad life and end.
Eric Newby's Travellers Tales is pretty good. I'm currently reading Kathleen Raines epic tomes on Blake, he was tried for sedition once. This is the wrong thread. -
remembering that shirt does hurt.
i liked Utz best of all chatwin's novels, but then i knew one of the characters, which made it more interesting i guess. Haven't read Newby but i hear it is good so i might try that soon. you're right, this is the wrong thread. the fabric of PAworld may unravel. -
merc,
Heh, PAworld is un-unravellable. I used to drive a ute, best cars ever, a red one, we called it The Red Baron, my brother had a blue one, I'm not saying we were good ol boys or anything, I have lived many syndromes.
Bruce kept it quiet that he was gay and dying of Aids, it was a shame really, but novellists, especially travel writers, are a strange breed. There was a very moving epitaph written of Bruce's last moments and life by a friend of his.
The Utz American Indian tribe never surrendered, neither did Tuhoe I believe. -

Very droll, but not really the level we aspire to here....

I'm going to take that as a compliment.

I see Whaleoil has published his own amended version.

Mmmmmm does saying it to their face with a bag over my head count ?
-
Yes it does. Airtight New World variety preferred of course. Let's see how you talk your way out of that one.
-
Haven't you seen the nice new paper ones....that you have to pay for ?
Otherwise when you talk as much s**t as I do it should be of no surprise that I can breathe from my A**E

Sorry folks I think the use of the preview button would have helped here.

that's quite funny.
but yes you're right deborah, a moment's weakness on my behalf. well, obviously i have them all the time but that one just coincided with hitting the Post button.it does make me laugh how readily some of the rightwing hate sites are so wildly sensitive to to their own medicine, and at the drop of a nastiness scream (madly and nastily) about how unfair and nasty their opponents can be. ho hum. so it goes.

merc,
It is the work of the evil Brujo, Juan Mateus.

about how unfair and nasty their opponents can be.
The dreaded "ad hominem" defense.
