*grin* (was wondering the same thing...)

Welcome Carol. You've come to the right place. Art and English major, mmm, congratulations on your upcoming graduation. I was trained as an artist, and ended up in advertising. Go figure.

Carol!!! And I'm heartily ashamed of the way I'm behaving. You're behaving perfectly normal. No one is too old to appreciate a fine performance by an incredibly fine actor and want to watch it over and over again. And, since your friends won't watch it with you, no one will even raise an eyebrow when you slip such phrases as "shelves in the closet" or "pair of fine eyes" into your conversation. ;-) Stick around and unburden yourself. I too am a fan of the toss-off line during the Pemberley ball scene with the eyeroll. It's right behind the "on foot" look.

THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

You're behaving perfectly normal. No one is too old to appreciate a fine performance by an incredibly fine actor Blessed Karen, the guardian of our sanity. Yeah!

In fact, if a person doesn't act in the manner you've described, Carol, I'd take their pulse, check for signs of stroke or whip out the CPR instructions, and start dialing the paramedics. ;-) So, you like the dark pants, huh? They lack certain, er, textural qualities, but they'll do in a pinch. I'm rather partial myself to the outfit he dons at Pemberley after his dip. Those fawn trousers... they lack for nothing. And btw, meant to say Netherfield ball before.... Oh where are my thoughts??

Welcome back Nan!!! You've been very much missed! I have a confession to make....I've been dying to drool again, but all I seem to talk about these days is the direness of the British Film Industry or the idiocy of BBC scheduling...(s-o-o terribly boring!)...not the Man Himself! But that little sideways grin in DQ, the way he leaps out of the bus, arms swinging, the scene in SLOW when he tells Nimi he's frightened because he needs her....mmmmm, he's still got it! And of course there's no-one to beat Mr Darcy, Wot! (Look forward to hearing Mark Darcy say "what?". "Don't what me Mark Darcy"). Hello Carol!

Unburden yourself here, Caroline. The only people who get funny looks from us are those who can't understand the reasoning for all our tremblings and flutterings. Poor sods, I feel sorry for anybody whose pulse doesn't quicken from watching Darcy watching Elizabeth from the window after his bath. THat perfectly tapered waist, those artfully arranged damp curls, that moist lip, those soulful eyes...;-) We could go on and on like this and never question each other's sanity.

Caroline, as they say: been there, done that, have the T-shirt to prove it. Each time we falter and dry up a little, another Firthian with fresh Drool staggers into our conference and we are all renewed by her eagerness, her way with words, and her ability to bring on fresh flooding for the ones of us who have been at this for years! Aloha and Welcome!

Thank you all - I do feel so welcomed! If I don't post for the next 4 days it would be because my bf is arriving tonite from Boston for a visit. He is too curious about my internet haunts and I don't want him to read my messages! ha ha ha oh the nerve of me! -- I couldn't think of a password so I'm actually using my bf's name as a password to get into a forum for Colin Firth's besotted women. I would also have to delete my huge desktop wallpaper of Darcy sitting-astride-a-black-horse. karenR - hahahah I don't blush easily but lordy! "Textural qualities"??!! He does look so fine in those black pants and jacket. What a beautiful man. Hate to wax lyrical but I am reminded of Hamlet's words. What a piece of work is a man ... well in this case it should be "What a piece of work is this man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! in form and moving, how espress and admirable! in action, how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god!..." And I AM beginning to use phrases from P&P! How did you you know? Fortunately, my friends have always heard me with a slight British accent (Malaysia was a British colony) so I might just get away with saying "Wot" -- oh I love the way he looks the moment before he says "wot" to Caroline Bingley ( URGH... are there no good decent Carolines in literature? Byron's wife was a Caroline and she was reputed to have bad manners, unhygenic and ulgy to boot) I think I shall be inspired by all you ladies. I think I'm having it bad right now because I'm watched this version of P&P only 1 week ago. And I've watched it only 5 times ( counting today). Thank you once again for making me feel so welcome. It's wonderful to be understood!

Now you must visit Drool 113 and get yourself a keepsake!

Caroline: are there no good decent Carolines in literature? Byron's wife was a Caroline ... Worse still, I'm afraid Lady Caroline Lamb was only Byron's mistress ("mad, bad and dangerous to know". You could find a more sympathetic Caroline in Charlotte Bronte's Shirley, or in the film A Thousand Acres, in which I believe there is another attraction also (the girls will say more)... Welcome, Caroline

Caroline, uppity Cook girl who started all the trouble? No, I don't think so. ;-)

Whoops, sorry! Clearly I haven't seen the film, but I keep seeing Caroline being described as the Cordelia character.

True, she's the dutiful daughter but she's not portrayed in a very favorable light. Could it be that Goneril and Regan co-produced the film? A shot in the dark.

Caroline, Y�ur waxing lyrical brings it all back. Let me add another poetic line which Darcy brings to mind:: "O brave new world that hath such people in it!"

Mym my me reading this again set me off. I have recently watched SLOW and lo and behold I am besotted again! Then you talking about the dance, the meeting in the gardens, the bath and I shall never be cured, 1995 and still counting!!

Oh my, oh my, oh my..... it's so lovely to see some new activity for our dear boy, Darcy. I haven't drooled over the boy for awhile and you all are reminding me what I've been missing. Nan, so good to see you back and thanks for priming the Drool pump :-). Welcome, Caroline. It's great to see a new face here. (Karen) I'm rather partial myself to the outfit he dons at Pemberley after his dip. Those fawn trousers... they lack for nothing. Oh, absolutely. While I do like the long black trousers favored by Caroline, there is something special about those fawn breeches as he's walking up the steps with Lizzy. They display the form to perfection, don't you know :-).

there is something special about those fawn breeches as he's walking up the steps with Lizzy. Maybe it has something to do with those oh-so-sexy riding boots he wears with them. Do you ever wonder what possessed him to take the extra seconds to drag those boots back on again when he was in such a hurry to catch Lizzy? Could it be he knew what kind of killer impression he made in those breeches and boots? ;-) (No, I didn't expect him to go barefoot either.)

Carol, I think Byron's wife was named Annabella. She was Anne Isabella Milbanke, a cousin of William Melbourne, who was Lady Caroline Lamb's husband. You mentioned there not being very many sympathetic Carolines in literature. One I can think of is in a children's book titled "Caddie Woodlawn" by Carol Ryrie Brink. She is the title character, Caroline Agusta Woodlawn, known as Caddie. From what I remember, Caddie is a very spirited and spunky tom-boy growing up in Wisconsin in the 19th century. She was someone who would rather gallop her horse across a frozen lake than do something like knitting. She is a headstrong girl who befriends the local Native Americans. The character was based on the author's grandmother.

Thanks for clearing things up Cheryl and Mark. I kinda knew I made a mistake right after submitting the post. It would be fun to check out the books you mentioned. I have to return the 6 tapes of P&P tomorrow and I've made a promise to myself that I won't borrow the series until I've finished my term papers. I would have to visit this board frequently to for "sustenance" heh heh...

Hey drooly chickies! I�m baaaack� It�s over. I�m done. Time to get a job :-/ But first�some slurpin'... We were so crazy with final projects and graduation that we didn�t get to the final tape until just a couple of days ago. We had very different reactions that night. I was sprawled on the sofa, head propped on a throw cushion with a big grin on my face the whole time. The roommate was sprawled on the other sofa, with both amusement and derision all over his face. I think that last episode was a little too sappy for him. He�s lived here long enough to know what happens when he makes fun of P&P, so he wisely kept his mouth shut. But as soon as he saw the final kiss and the music swelled, he popped off the sofa like his butt was on fire. Other than that insulting action, he liked it rather well. For someone like him, that�s pretty amazing. However, he has taken to walking throughout the house saying, "BING-ley", a la Mrs. Bennet. Wiseass. So, even though it wasn�t a total success, I refused to concentrate on that as my mind was more agreeably engaged ;-) It�s been a long time since I watched that tape and I�d forgotten how high it is on the droolability scale. I love the stifled anger of Lydia�s wedding: ...and thought of Arami when I saw it, as I know it is one of her favorite moments. Such sullen beauty! Such revulsion! Whoa baby! I was (yet again) reminded of how expressive his eyes can be. Just looky here, now... ...in the "I must have it" scene. Those big chocolate orbs are just brimming over with remorse. Yoo-hoo, Coooolin�I forgive you... ;-p Awww, look how happy he is now that he�s made amends. Isn�t he just darling? Don�t you just want to squish his face? Go to it... And, of course, the scene that even I couldn�t help giggling over� At this point the roommate said, "Well, could they slap you over the head with it a little more?" My response was, "I should be so lucky" He's not the only one who can be a wiseass. ;-} There were, of course, many other moments during which I made happy noises (much to the disgust of the roomie): The first visit to Longbourne, where Mrs. Bennet makes a total ass of herself. I always squirm during that scene. I�m not sure if it�s thinking of poor mortified Lizzy or...other things ;-p Probably both. And the second visit, where he looks freshly bathed (woo-hoo!) and squeaky clean with those wide, velvety sideburns (which no one could carry off half so well). The frightened expression he wears while he says, "You are too generous to trifle with me..." Poor, desperate fellow! Come here and let mommy make it better ;-p Of course I had Snappies of all these scenes, but they were lost in the great Nan computer crash of 1998 (sigh). 300 Snappies gone. I still haven�t recuperated from the tragedy of it all :-/ So, ladies...I�ve started the ball rolling. Who wants to play with me? ;-D Nan (still luststruck after all these years) Also, sorry if these photos take a little time to load. I can�t seem to get my Spring password to work so they are uploading from another server...

Welcome back, Nan. A woman after my own heart!

Nan, the best part of Mrs. B. at Longbourne was his slow and all-encompassing study of Lizzie's fine form. That was the most over he ever was in his animal appreciation of her - like a candid moment caught on film. I usually watch this part with the sound OFF. Um...couldn't you manage to print a Huger image of him with it ALL there?! I need to be slapped over the head with it again...badly!

That's the ticker and dangler picture for sure =)....

Hi Nan...good to have your ole lusty self back... Yeah...the tickler and dangler is always a charger. Really should be Drool's logo:-)

Swat! Swat! Grrrrr..... Welcome back, Nan. Congrats on being school-free. Time to unleash all that pent-up drool. (Mr Acia) Um...couldn't you manage to print a Huger image of him with it ALL there?! I need to be slapped over the head with it again...badly! Nice to see you back at drool too, Marcia dear!

That's the ticker and dangler picture for sure Wow, your roomie noticed it too! ;-) It is great to have you back, Nan. I hope you will be working on getting more snappies. Have you seen the last smile in MLSF? My favorite Darcy visit to Longbourn is his last when he is decided to ask her and he enter the room with that passionate look. That split second takes my breath away.

Oh yes! It takes her breath away, as well. Her knees buckle ever so slightly, and ours a great deal. I think if I were ever gazed upon so intensely by someone I loved, I would incinerate in a blaze of glory!

(Moon)My favorite Darcy visit to Longbourn is his last when he is decided to ask her and he enter the room with that passionate look (Marcia)Oh yes! It takes her breath away, as well. Her knees buckle ever so slightly Her lower lip quivers...A very erotic moment...hey, they want to tear each other's clothes off...!

But they didn't! Which may well make it all the more erotic.

No, they didn't, but how many Droolians did?! Not asking for a show of hands or whatever, of course - this is private stuff *giggle*

Yup, I agree entirely, clad is much more erotic than letting it all hang out no matter how much we wish we could see it...

(Evelyn) Her lower lip quivers (Marcia) Not asking for a show of hands or whatever, of course - this is private stuff *giggle* Uh-oh, here we go again with the lowers and uppers :-))))

I think, to be physilogically correct, it should be stated that women have six lips. Two upper and four lower. (I've done medical illustration, trust me on this.) Anyway, whatever you can imagine is sexier, at least to you personally, than what can be put on the screen, be it tv or movie screen. Imagination is very sexy.

Hey, what's this? Am I late for the party? A huge welcome back to our returning lost sheep... erm... I mean, lost Deer! Hooray! Things will soon be back to normal... erm... abnormal... um... enormous... well... yes! thought of Arami when I saw it, as I know it is one of her favorite moments. Such sullen beauty! Such revulsion! Bless you! You remembered well. Don�t you just want to squish his face? His face and all the rest of him... At this point the roommate said, "Well, could they slap you over the head with it a little more? LOL! The guy was evidently jealous! those wide, velvety sideburns (which no one could carry off half so well) That's because they were his very own, lovingly grown and beautifully tended on his lovely, shapely, manly jowls! Come here and let mommy make it better ;-p Aha! Now we know why he married an Italian ragazza ;-P! still luststruck after all these years You're still not alone... I can�t seem to get my Spring password to work Have you heard about the great Spring migration to another server? that's the ticker and dangler picture for sure There are at least two more. What a talent! they want to tear each other's clothes off...! Imagination is very sexy. Seriously, in plain historical terms, their passion would be much more subtle. Really romantic. Not raw and animal. (Well... maybe later... ;-))

*sighing blissfully* Now I remember what it was which kept me in Drool all those years before I ventured out of the Silken tower to see what else was around... Thank you ladies - I have not breathed this deeply in a very long time and I missed it! *wiping the keyboard and monitor*

Just a thought, but isn't that what old topic 34 and now one-hundred-something was for? Various forms of disrobing and the inevitable result thereof?!

There's a subtle difference: we don't do fan fiction here, Marcia. This is fan reality. ;-)

*whew* I thought I was the only one! It is nice to be amongst those who understand...

(Arami)... in plain historical terms, their passion would be much more subtle. Really romantic. Not raw and animal Think so?I dunno...don't think Andrew Davies is so caught up on the historical aspect of lovemaking...I sorta' think he'd go for the 'raw and animal'....:-)

Has mankind really changed? Our external display has become more subdued due to society's demands, but I think the most primordeal of them all has remained just that - but within the confines of the bedroom.

(Evelyn) Yeah...the tickler and dangler is always a charger. Really should be Drool's logo:-) Oooh...an excellent idea. That gave me a vision, honey. Unfortunately, I don�t think I could draw that without being even more tasteless than I normally am ;-p (Eileen) Welcome back, Nan. Congrats on being school-free. Time to unleash all that pent-up drool. Thank you, m�dear. Good to be back. And you�re right...I�m positively brimming over with naughty thoughts� (Marcia) Um...couldn't you manage to print a Huger image of him with it ALL there?! I need to be slapped over the head with it again...badly! Okay then. I know Marcia is with me ;-) I would have loved to slap ya with a big one, babe...but not only did I lose my old photo collection, but I can�t seem to get my Snappy to work at all now. I�m most seriously displeased! (Moon) Wow, your roomie noticed it too! ;-) Well, it�s pretty hard to miss--no pun intended. ;-p Have you seen the last smile in MLSF? I haven�t seen any Colin films more recent than SIL. Isn�t that sad? And isn�t that great? I�m looking forward to a lazy Saturday with a bunch of movie rentals, a bag of Cheetos and a 4 pack of Guinness ;-p That split second takes my breath away. Oh, I know just what you mean. As I mentioned, not only is he looking squeaky clean (always a plus for me), but he�s looking especially dark and luscious. As a general rule, I prefer a man with lighter coloring (I think it�s a residual effect from the Kevin Costner days). But when I see Colin, all done up in that costume which suits him so well, and his big, dusky eyes fringed with black lashes...to quote Marcia, I get the �squinges� ;-)~~~ (Donna) Uh-oh, here we go again with the lowers and uppers :-)))) Damn! That sounds like a juicy conversation. Drat that school! What did I miss? (Cheryl) I think, to be physilogically correct, it should be stated that women have six lips. Two upper and four lower. (I've done medical illustration, trust me on this.) Okay. Got it. You can scratch that last question. ;-) (Arami) Hey, what's this? Am I late for the party? Hi honey. Never too late. Jump on in... normal... erm... abnormal... um... enormous... well... yes! LOL! I particularly like the �enormous�...as you knew I would ;-D (Nan) At this point the roommate said, "Well, could they slap you over the head with it a little more? (Arami) LOL! The guy was evidently jealous! Indeed! And I'm not ashamed to say that I took great pleasure in seeing him feel inadequate ;-p Aha! Now we know why he married an Italian ragazza ;-P! Yes, yes...we are a very maternal brood ;-) (Nan) I can�t seem to get my Spring password to work (Arami) Have you heard about the great Spring migration to another server? I vaguely remember seeing that somewhere. I suppose that could be the problem. I�ll check into it. that's the ticker and dangler picture for sure There are at least two more. What a talent! LOL! You are killing me here ;-D (Arami) their passion would be much more subtle. Really romantic. Not raw and animal. (Evelyn) Andrew Davies...I sorta' think he'd go for the 'raw and animal'....:-) Historically, I don't know. But in this adaptation I think it's both. P&P is really successful in subtly expressing sexual desire. There are scenes, innocuous in and of themselves, where you can't help but feel the underlying sexual tension. All that staring and verbal fencing always seems like foreplay to me and is therefore, far more erotic than blatant scenes would be. Look how much time we've all spent analyzing every Darcy nuance. Both Colin and Jennifer are so good at it, too...bless them. On the other hand, there are times when subtlety is overrated and some primal, noise-makin' is all a gal needs ;-p And I get the feeling it wouldn't take much for Darcy and Lizzy (of this adaptation, anyway) to go to it with a right good will ;-) Come to think of it...they did. I'm jealous :-/

Here you go, ladies, knock yourselves out... ;-)

What a nice vision to wake up too. Thanks, Karen! (Nan)), I haven�t seen any Colin films more recent than SIL. You have three, Nan. MLSF, DQ and SLOW. The last two you will have to get from one of us.

Bless you Karen! Of course you know I swiped that photo in a hot second ;-)

Thank you, m�dear. Good to be back. And you�re right...I�m positively brimming over with naughty thoughts� Does everyone here know that Nan is now 'The Big Kahuna' of upscale Virtual Views on Pemberley? We're proud of you..ole buddie...but don't forget your ole 'trailer park droolies'.

(MarciaH)Yup, I agree entirely, clad is much more erotic than letting it all hang out no matter how much we wish we could see it... In this case, I doubt it would hang out... Probably stand up, or out, whatever, no? ;-)

Gi! I don't believe I'm reading this ;-P... I mean... you're beating me at my own game here... ;-D

I bow to you, Arami :-) but my mind also works like this... sometimes... :-P

*Whew* Knock me down and bail out the living room, I am about to be overwhelmed by my own Drool.......and it feels so Good Thank you, Karen, m'dear!

Woah woah... I MISSED THAT -- Her lower lip quivers when he enters Longbourne at the last part??? Now I would have to borrow the tape again. And Karen and Nan.... Thanks for the pictures. I am going to be the minority here and say that I don't like those fawn colored pants/pantaloon..whatever. Ladies! He looks absolutely positively beautiful oh-be-still mybeatinghart gorgeous in black pants. Now if only I could get a picture.

Auuuuuuuugh!! Why are my eyes only riveted to a particular spot in that picture??

Do not miss the forest for the trees, Caroline... however tall!

(Gi) Do not miss the forest for the trees, Caroline... however tall! *snicker* Caroline, those are not the fawn pants. He tosses those on after the pond dunk in order to run after Lizzie. Let's see if I have a pic of those around...

Karen, please translate "snicker" for me :-)

Whew! i disappear for a few weeks and this topic positively explodes with drool. Well, i'm ready to jump right in. I, ah, dont suppose anybody has a snappie of Colin's feet handy? ;-) Nan, well back! :-) and Gi, *hee hee* you're being so nauty! I love it!! pray continue -while i dig out my water wings.

I see you're a foot woman, then? :-) Personally I don't really relish the sight of bare human feet. Not even Colin's. I wonder whether there's a deeper significance in this... I was rather disappointed that they managed to persuade him to pose for photographs sans socks (except the photo on the beach which made some sense), but I suppose it's to do with trends in modern images for publicity. And, btw, does anyone know what is the female equivalent of a breast man? (Gi might - she's our medically qualified expert here... ;-)) (Not really a Darcy subject, I grant you, but where can a girl air kinky ideas these days? ;-))

does anyone know what is the female equivalent of a breast man? I don't believe it requires a medical degree; however, the equivalent for females is an emphasis a tight tush.

Thank you, nurse :-) - so what is a female equivalent of the bottom man? (You see? It's like a vicious circle, really...)

a chest woman

Oh, I give up. Ran out of suitable body parts. Time for someone else to provide entertainment!

This conversation is getting on my tit(s). This is a Colin quote.;-))) (excuse my firthiology)

Sheesh! I get busy in Geo for a moment and the discussion deteriorates do deliciously that no one missed a beat. Hmmm, checking the anatomy at hand in in the other room, I guess it is a female with a chest hair fixation. It is about the only thing the normal male has going or not going for him in that area. I'll go check the resident hairy-chest-beater and let you know if I discover anything further...*grin* What I won't do for the sake of Drool...*sigh*

Maybe in your clime, Marcia, chest hair is on more prominent display. If it shows around here in unsuitable situations (i.e., not at beach or similar), then I'd probably react with a "yuck"--button it up, you sleaze bag! ;-)

There are always those individuals who are furry to the max (such as a personal favorite of mine) and I think there is no way that he can help but share a little peek with the rest of the world. Yeah, here what you got mostly hangs out or dangles or whatever without much thought. Not me, of course. I am the original inhibited lady...but I am NOT blind ;)

Marcia inhibited - nevah.

(Marcia) Yeah, here what you got mostly hangs out or dangles or whatever without much thought. Where I live, what hangs out or dangles is usually somebody's potbelly hanging over the waistline, with the crack in the back peeking out :-)

Same here, on the other side of the pond. I guess we call it civilization.

...or as civilized as it gets these days of loose clothing, loose lips and looser morals. Geez, sounds like I just got out my soapbox !!!

Whoa! I go off to solve a little thesis problem and whap! The drool is flying all over the place in here ;-p Excellent! (Caroline) Auuuuuuuugh!! Why are my eyes only riveted to a particular spot in that picture?? Wicked, naughty woman! I am in complete sympathy...I can�t seem to take my eyes off it either. (Arami) Personally I don't really relish the sight of bare human feet. Not even Colin's. I wonder whether there's a deeper significance in this... LOL! No surprisingly, I don�t get the foot thing either ;-) I�m very anti-feet. Don�t like to look at �em, certainly don�t wanna get near them and I absolutely cannot have a pedicure--makes my skin crawl. I�m sure this has some kind of bizarre psychological meaning, but whatEVER...;-p (Arami) And, btw, does anyone know what is the female equivalent of a breast man? (Karen) ...the equivalent for females is an emphasis a tight tush. (Arami) so what is a female equivalent of the bottom man? (Karen) a chest woman Hmmm...I would imagine the bottom thing goes for both sexes (though it holds little interest for me). I think that all men and women are fascinated by each other's unique protrusions. Therefore, the equivalent of a breast man would be a crotch woman (now THAT interests me greatly ;-p). (Karen)chest hair�If it shows around here in unsuitable situations (i.e., not at beach or similar), then I'd probably react with a "yuck"--button it up, you sleaze bag! ;-) I agree. ICK! Well, I�m not opposed to a normal amount, but anything that peeks out of the neckline of a t-shirt has got to go ;-D

The things we learn on the Spring - and they said the Internet was not educational...*scoff* I'll take the guy I love furry all over if that is the way God made him...! Now. back to that protrusion which goes straight from the eye to the libido without stopping at the brain...*sigh* Why IS that?! (Never mind!) Nan, you ARE allowed, encouraged, begged, even to post in Geo. Coitainly you have something to say about Poils?!

I guess we're all terribly refined in the UK...a renent survey asked women to list the five most attractive parts in a man. Winners (in winning order)..eyes, smile, nice butt/ass, hands and GSOH. Wot! No feet!

What is GSOH?

Good sense of humour!

Thanks for asking, Rupert. I rather thought it was inside-out for GOSH and astonishment...sometimes shorthand can impede progress on these responses...or have I lost touch. In Geo I have enough problems making the stuff I post sound good - and unmysterious. Guess I got out of touch with abbreviations...

(Marcia) Nan, you ARE allowed, encouraged, begged, even to post in Geo. I will do just that, m'dear. I warn you, my knowledge of all things Geo is minimal at best. I saw the topic on "Vulcanism" and wondered why you were all talking about Mr. Spock ;-p Coitainly you have something to say about Poils?! Oh honey...every girl has something to say about poils...or at least they should. And Bethan is here! It's like old home week. How are you, honey?

Ah Vulcanism...My Cfadm for the day (month, year, and on....)wanted to work Vulcan in somewhere so I came up with that. I wondered how many Spock fans we disappointed by so doing. (Actually, it is a token homage to the UH Hilo Vulcans - our local college's teams' names) Don't worry about the intellectual content there...discussion of tango lessons broke out in the Bioregions topic, and other frivolity abounds - just as elsewhere on Spring!

(Marcia)...discussion of tango lessons broke out in the Bioregions topic... Hehe... You won't forget that one, will you, Marcia? :-)

It was hilarious. Come back home, Elena, Gi and Alexander! At the time I was dispairing of the topic's ever being normal again, a certain wise gentleman suggested I fire the band! *lol*

...I think levity is off for the time being! How I miss it. Perhaps with Nan's timely arrival we might have fun once again!

On the subject of those "furry" men, I could never love a man who had hair growing out of his back. I'm sorry, it's infantile on my part, but I cannot be attracted to someone who looks as though he needs to evolve a bit more. I don't get the foot attraction either. I can't stand the thought of getting a pedicure, much less giving one. Gross! They couldn't pay me enough. Hands, for me are another story. I notice mens' hands. It would seem the body part I notice on all men whether I'm attracted to them or not/

Foot attraction: I guess it depends on the foot. Most people have ugly feet, congenitally or because of wearing the wrong shoes all their lives. but there are some pretty feet around there too :-)

I had a dream about CF last night. He was himself and I was a gushy, silly, mute. V. embarrassing. Thought it meant I better start talkin and a'droolin. You know, as therapy, to unsilence myself. Hehehe. Some one (Heide? Love your stories btw!) wanted a picture of his feet. Hope this direct link works. If not, you can find the pic under Friends of Firth, under the off-screen images category, where there are lots of thumbnails. This particular thumbnail is at the bottom of the page. You just need to click on it, to get the enlarged version.

Oops, that didn't work! Where'd my link go? Here is the URL at least: http://www.grin.net/~meluchie/anna5.jpg And here's the URL for the offscreen images page at FOF (sort of like SOS, eh?) http://www.grin.net/~meluchie/offscreen.html

Hmmm. That worked as active links, no html required. Neat!

Oh my, Sadie! It took forever to load but it was worth it. Thank you!<-D

Glad you enjoyed Gi. So tell me, what makes for sexy feet, versus not so great, in your opinion? What do you think of CF's feet? -- just as an illustration of your foot theory of course. :-) I know what does it for me regarding men's hands, but I haven't much considered the foot-thing before. Except I find dirty feet a real turn-off. That is to say, grimy unwashed feet...dirty is another matter... Also, I know that size doesn't matter, but how come this board prints such teeny responses? Oh my poor eyes!-D

And of course, I say that wise-ass size remark, and it all prints as a regular size!

Sadie: The size of the font (viewing and printing) is determined by your own PC, not this website. Check font preferences. BTW, you guys are all nuts. A pedicure is the ultimate luxury, especially when they massage your tootsies. ;-)

Karen, I didn't alter my font preferences, and all the other boards looked normal, while this one did not. Well it looks normal now, but I swear I did nothing! V. weird!

Better than a pedicure is reflexology. It is the ultimate! ;-) Sadie, I believe in our past here we have discussed the relative size of hands to the incroyable. Remember ladies? :-D

One of our more scintillating discussions to be sure, Moon. I know it exceeded my expectations but then Colin/Darcy always does. ;-) Hmmm, Sadie, it wasn't me who wanted another peek of Colin's tootsies though I certainly don't mind sneaking a look myself. Thanks.

I also remember that discussion about relative sizes. Very educational :-) I do not find feet especially sexy in themselves, Sadie, but I like good-looking, clean, callus-free, proportionate feet as much as any other part of the human anatomy... Only they are harder to find, probably because people tend to not care for them properly...

Oy! I step away and the feet have taken over ;-p (Karen) BTW, you guys are all nuts. A pedicure is the ultimate luxury, especially when they massage your tootsies. ;-) Oh, ick! My sister agrees with you, Karen and always tries to talk me into joining her when she goes for a pedicure. I don't think I could bear it. I had my little toes fixed a few years ago and the pain was nothing compared to the torture of enduring the surgeon's hands on my feet ;-p Where did this conversation come from? Was it barefoot Colin on the stairs or barefoot Colin on the beach?

Beats me, but I never actually knew he had feet. I just assumed.....*silly me!*

Myh eyes always travel as far as the calves then travel upward again then downward then.......*sigh*

(Nan) Was it barefoot Colin on the stairs or barefoot Colin on the beach? On the beach. Ahhh ... One of my favorite pics of him because it shows clearly his proportions. Also a couple of nicely-shaped tootsies to go along with the rest of his nicely-shaped physique. **Sigh** (Even if he does look like he was assembled by a committee...)(**Heehee**) ;-)

Ooops!! On the stairs!! On the stairs!! Shows to go you how tired I am this time of night...I MEANT on the *Stairs*
