Give me a hint, Frosti. Doc's place? Ralphs? Cobber House? I remember some pictures of you in your boxers with the long hair - seem to remember something about a chicken costume...

Psst. Those pictures are online Amie. Make him give you the URL.

Dude, she's batting her virtual,ahm, eyelashes at you! How can you resist?

(gentleman or no, I'd give 'em to her but I've forgotten it along with everything else that isn't completely useless)

Sorry folks, the public displays of my drunken youth have been taken down to make space for photos of my young'uns. Let's just say, there has been drunken nudity. And I am a recidivist.

Like any good dealer, the first one's on the house. After that, you gotta ante up...

Here, Frosti charms us with his rendition of "Feelings". :)

this is in "The Doc's Place" an apartment that we pretty much thoroughly thrashed by the time we all quit living in it. It was situated above a dentist's office. We had to be quiet during the day, which was fine with us because we were usually hungover and/or asleep then anyway...
It had a handicap accessible ramp for the dentist's patients, which was lovingly referred to by us degenerates as "the drunk ramp". Good times...

Very nice.

How tall are you, Frosti?

I hate to sound ungrateful but my drunken college daze pics are all in a federal storage facility. And uh. I'm not posting any half-naked pics to PF. Call me chicken if you must.

I think more negotiation is in order.

Wow. didn't picture you as the modest type either! :)
I don't think that I have any half-naked college pictures of me - Frosti has a couple that have me in them I think...

Anything else I can contribute to the negotiations, let me know.

It's an optical illusion caused by how trim you are. Once you get that beer belly going you'll seem much shorter.
Hoo ha.

optical illusion

Also helped by that particular photo being taken from a low angle. And in other photos, I surround myself with short people (my family) to continue the illusion.

The only other one I've seen of you, Frosti, is the one you posted to the CS. At least I think that's where I saw it. Seems like the pics you've posted of your family, either I didn't know which was you or you weren't in them.

Hmmm. I don't actually recall which one I may have posted to CS. And, when it comes to family pics, I'm the tall one. ;)

No beer goggles for women?

Sept 23, 2003 - A new study indicates that "beer goggles" may not work the same way for women as men. Research at the University of Vienna confirmed that the more men drink the more likely they are to find a woman attractive, but found the reverse is true for women.

This contradicts work by scientists in Scotland that indicates there is no difference in the beer goggles effect between men and women.

Psychologist Andreas Mittermair, who headed the Vienna research team, told a newspaper: "It has long been known that women do not have the same obsession with looks as men and are more interested in other qualities like personality.

"But it was interesting that alcohol makes a man seem even less attractive to a woman and contradicts popular belief that alcohol will encourage a romantic mood for both sexes."

The study took a set of both male and female volunteers and asked them to grade pictures of the opposite sex from good-looking to ugly while sober. Different volunteers were then given varying amounts of alcohol and asked to perform the same task.

"Without fail, drunken men rated girls several grades up the ladder in comparison with men who had graded the same pictures but had not been drinking," Mittermair said.

However, drunken women consistently gave pictures of men lower ratings than women who were sober. "We have to conclude that there is a significant connection between the alcohol level and the perception of beauty for men and women it just works the opposite way for both sexes," he said.

This sounds pretty sweet...

'KINDERGARTEN FOR MEN' INCLUDES BEER
German women can now leave their partners at a special kindergarten for men, offering beer and entertainment, while they go shopping. "The women are issued a receipt for their partners when they hand them in and can pick them up again when they return it to us later," Alexander Stein, manager of the Nox Bar in Hamburg said. The men are given a name badge on arrival and for 10 euros ($11.80) they get two beers, a hot meal, televised soccer and games. Stein said the idea for the Saturday afternoon "Maennergarten" came from a female customer who thought it would be a good way of getting away from her husband so she could shop in peace.

Not a bad pic at all. I should have known some of those would make their way on here somewhere. :p

Ugh.

Ok, I have time and privacy. My too much lube comment is more a situational than enjoyment issue. And for comfort's sake, let's make it hypothetical. Ahem.

When having anal sex with the woman on top (this would not be an issue for m/m sex natch) if the woman is extremelyexcited and wet, the contact when she comes down on her partner's belly and raises up again can cause a rather hilarious sucking/slurping sound.

I'm all for laughing in bed, of course. OTOH, a carefully placed towel or sheet will solve the issue. After one has laughed themselves silly, natch.

Oh, well, if it's *situational*, then of course... :)

thanks for, um, satisfying our curiosity amie. Hypothetically speaking of course. Laughter is all part of the fun I think - if you can't laugh then you have more serious problems. :)

On that note, think I will have another beer!

Which Fantasy/SciFi Character Are You?

Possessing a rare combination of wisdom and humility, while serenely dominating your environment you selflessly use your powers to care for others.

Hmm. I'm Galadriel too. I didn't even know that was who that was supposed to be until I took the quiz. Stupid movies, trying to mess with Tolkien anyway.

You don't like the movies, Sparky?

I admit I haven't slogged through the LOTR books in a while, but I've been thinking they do a pretty good job of a really impossible task. There's a lot of information in those books, and the biggest complaint I've heard from Tolkien fans is the parts that have been cut.

Mon, 11/03/2003 - 10:08 AM Permalink
Sparky

You could say that. :)

I have read the books (Silmarillion through Return of the King) many times - (30 would be conservative, I think) and cannot reconcile the vision in my head with the movies. I have heard from many fans that the movies are great. I hope they enjoy them, but as for me I will abstain. :) Not only do I think it would be impossible to translate them to film as you say, but they took some liberties with what are to me core themes in Tolkiens worldview - I would rather see things cut completely than changed in their essence.
