"Erudition?"So you think there was a special edition for Europe, Cole? I'll have to check on that. You're in the right ball park with those titles.But around 1964 it just seemed that there was one good stage show after another.The 60s seemed to be full of them all seeking to share their insight into the meaning of everything.I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the number of good shows in that era numbered around the 42 mark.I accidentally heard the line the other day when I was playing the DVD of the movie.I suppose I had heard it before, but it seemed to be more relevant, more needed, than ever before.So I posted it here for a bit of fun and a tease when I found that Google didn't reference it.All shall be revealed tomorrow.In the mean time, sweet dreams unless you find that impossible.Des:I think you think we're all a lot more literary than we are. A lot more in touch with the Arts. That our erudition more closely matches your own than it really does.1964. I think that's about when Hello, Dolly came out. And Fiddler on the Roof. And Funny Girl. And probably several other less notable ones.But I don't know any of them well enough to know that line.Which I guess means I don't get to not sleep with you.C -
No Hylas, Googling won't help. I tried to do that without a reference coming up. LOLNo not Sweeney Todd. It is spoken by the leading character in a 1964 musical stage play that was made into a movie later.I think you are all pretending to not know the answer. LOL

Packet?I thought you said package for moment.There's enough for everyone...How big is your packet, Des? -
Again? You want to sleep with me again?Now if you told the truth then I can't give you the prize of not sleeping with mebecause your answer would be correct, but if I say you didn't say it, then according to what you sayI have told a lie, in fact no matter what I say I have lied, so I cannot even agree that you said it.Therefore you cannot have the prize, but I suspect this is all just a ploy to prove you said it, so you can stop me from giving the prize to someone else, so I will keep the prize for myself. However that doesn't mean I have to sleep alone, because I would be lying if I said that too.After this I think I better give a Second prize of a half a packet of Tylenol, I am keeping half the packet for myself.Ummm, I said it...and that's my story no matter what lies Des makes up.JasonWill you sleep with me? I had the balls to tell the truth. -
Rad I would like nothing better than to have the wit to make up the quote, but I didn't and neither to the best of my knowledge did little Willy Shakespeare. Keep guessing.Hint: Think: Musical stage play.

LOLHow about the Feline Union.......FU naughty DesdownunderCat Liberation Army of the WorldCLAW :P -
Are you faking not knowing the answer Hylas?No fair cheating you know!erm...Sigmund Freud?Friedrich Nietzsche?Lewis Carroll?o lord o lord...Got to find the answer or... *gives out a muffled scream* -
All in good time Maddy.Aaaah, shiz! I wanna say I know this... and in fact I've had some internal conflict whilst pondering this idea...Dickens comes to mind for some reason, as does Shakespeare... and Hamlet (Shakespeare's work). Only because I'm sure I heard this from a teacher when we were reading these two authors, of course.I wanna know. Tell me!Maddy (: -
No prizes for insane answers like that one. LOLDoes this imply you will sleep with anyone providing the wrong answer?In that case, I guess Margaret Thatcher.C -
Not yet!You did? -
Jason I can't sleep either and I have to be at work in 4 hours.Jason while the boys squabble about who is your reader, why don't you and I go put a bun in the oven, or something similar. I just love baking and cooking up a treat."We could bake a sugar cake for you to take to workfor all the boys to see."(from the movie, Tea for Two)

If you supplement the milk with a magnesium supplement you will decrease the chance of a kidney stone.Not too much magnesium though. I read the calcium to magnesium ratio should be about 2:1 in favour of the calcium.Milk can be deficient in magnesium depending on the area in which the cows feed.I now return you to your winery.

It would worth the price of the plane ticket just to get the b/f educated in some kind of technique. I didn't say that...PS: Des...if you wish a phone that offers that particular feature...send the price of one plane ticket to me and I'll gladly bring a model that can demonstrate that function. And if you wish, I could show the BF the same technique. -

camera phones suck.They do?Trust me to get a phone that didn't have the one extra feature I would have used.

Magic beans, hmmm, I wonder what sort of pun I could make about "Jack'n the bean stalk."Nope can't think of one.Ooh, I'm magical! But am I magically delicious? Hahaha! I'll spare you all the "magician's wand" jokes. Dear Des, I am glad to see the enchanted check arrived. I hope you have better luck than that farm boy with the magic beans.... -
Vent away Camy, we will accept your venting with pleasure. We might even take the opportunity and vent too.After all that's what friends are for.

Camy, 4 years ago I thought I could do better at writing some of the stories I was seeing (I won't admit to reading them) at Nifty. So I set to and over 18 months (I was working full time then) I wrote some 40,000 words of an outstanding Gay novel that I am even embarrassed to admit I thought was good, now. It was just so episodic and obvious. I guess you could say it was bad enough to be a university thesis. Yes some parts of it will sneak into some of my future efforts, but you see I discovered AwesomeDude and Codey'sWorld and realised I was trying too hard. I was attempting too much too soon. So I jotted out a few poems, then a couple of short stories. I am about to post a small 7 chapter story as soon as it is edited. It's a bit silly but I hope amusing. (More details soon, watch for it at a Codey's World site near you.)I hope yours is posted soon Trab. I always enjoy your stories.Anyway what I an trying to say is that the progression from short story to longer efforts will come, but only if you keep writing.Personally, Camy and Trab, your own stories along with many of our authors at AD and CW have inspired to write more.My new story is little more than a short story with toilet breaks, but it is a start towards that longer novel I know is lurking around me somewhere. Okay How is that? Is that verbose enough?"fecund" what a great word. I'm sure if my mom had heard me use it, she would have washed my mouth out with soap.

The sponge is gone Thanks Trab

You could always have asked for her credit card number. Let me know if she has more than one handsome young brother.We could double date.Des, you had me laughing helplessly. Then the rest of you added to it. This was fantastic.Oh, and Jason's nefarious shadowed plans... I'd say more, but my screen went strangely dark and a voice claimed archly that it would control my horizontal and my vertical. Oh my! (My what? We can discuss that later, at the secret lair....)-----The other day, a very nice young woman with an exotic accent called, very concerned for my welfare. She was offering me a credit card. Imagine that, free credit, such a kind woman. However, I had to decline her kind offer, as I already have a credit card, and a bill to match. Still, she was persistent. It's so nice to find someone so eager to be helpful. Alas, when I said I had one already and really didn't want one, we were somehow disconnected. Doubtless, she will pine away for me, but alas, it will be an unrequited love, for I could not in good conscience lead her astray. Perhaps she has a handsome young brother who'd like to give me more than some silly old plastic card? Ah well, I feel sure she will go about her way, offering such riches to other deserving strangers, until she meets an exotic young man to share her plastic affections. -
Thanks guys,and a special thanks to Blue for his insight into the national characteristics of Sodom and Gom... I mean Australia, the UK, US and Canadian bacon.I was a little afraid he was going to tell us about all the old fogies in odd stately castles in Olde England, but he restrained himself quite nicely, actually. We should open a restaurant. We could serve Vegemite and cucumber sandwiches with a side serve of Canadian Bacon, followed by American Apple Pie of course. All washed down with Earl Grey tea. Loverly. I don't think we can serve brains if they have gone out of date. Well I have to get back to cleaning up all the pillars of salt at the airport. I so wish the tourists wouldn't look back at Sydney's Sodomites as they get on the plane to go home.

Okay, okay, I yield.I should never have asked. I was just trying to be funny. I should know better. At least I know now why my bf occasionally reads my work, (when I tie him up and force him to, with a magnifying glass tied to his head with barbed wire) always says, "It's good! What else can I say?"I love it, of course when he gives an honest appraisal by saying, "You wrote that instead of cleaning the house?"Your replies all had me laughing so much, I am lost for words. Thanks guys. I guess I was having a needy moment.

Did anyone read my blog besides Jason? :allalone[1]:Oh well, at least Jason's popular.Is this what you had in mind Hylas?

Camy, you are just being a perfectionist.As for Trab's SAD, he is right. However if you are in front of the monitor or exposed to a lot of fluorescent lighting you should increase your vitamin A. A good multivitamin pill will take care of that for you.Broken Heart is outstanding.
