*Pfft* Do you mean Col Fitzwilliam? Nah, cannot see the fascination levelled at him on these hallowed boards, I'm a Darcy girl through and through. Oh-o - PC problems seem to be contagious, now PC keeps freezing and disconnecting internet *boo* so this may be my last post until tomorrow...

No never accuse me of that I mean the Fitzwilliam! yes this is my 3rd reconnection so I'll go before I throw it out of the window.

My fave: On foot?

Karen: Took me a while, but didn't IBM stand for Ideal Breeding Material? But can't for the life of me remember the pic... am obviously not functioning on all gears :-( You are right. It is Ideal Breeding Material and I like the name very much indeed ;-)

Isn't this gorgeous? Takes my breath away! Thank you Xian.

*GLUP* thanks Xian, I have a big 'ole puddle of drool around my PC after viewing that lovely pic. ...he's just so freaken cute!

Thanks for the pix ladies. Love that expression in the IBM picture. Is this guy cute or what? (Judy)OH GOD yes that neck yummy I would love a nibble Yes, yes, yes. I love neck view when he's writing the letter to Lizzy. He's all disheveled with his shirt open and then leans back in the chair. My teeth are always aching to take a little nip!

Gail keep your teeth to yourself the necks mine:-) You know Gail I've never noticed a mans neck before CF,you look at their face,bum, whether they fill their pants out properly but not their neck!so why do I always look at his.That scene you mentioned always gets me too it needs a good lick & nibble,it definitely brings out the Vamp-ire in me

Thanks Karen, you have an impressive memory even when not on full gears! Freakin cute is right! Thanks for pics Evelyn & Xian. My its hot in here. What a second Gail & Judy: I might be late in posting, but you will have to wrastle for the neck! (Gail) Yes, yes, yes. I love neck view when he's writing the letter to Lizzy. He's all disheveled with his shirt open and then leans back in the chair. My teeth are always aching to take a little nip! Well, I'm a little 'all unnecessary' myself at the moment Tracy. LOL! Gail, you've expressed my feelings & the scene so well! Sure hope there's a similar delectable moment in What Matters Most . Yes, another hint! Vamp-ire. LOL Judy!

Thank you for this pic, Sadie, I've been hunting for it because that's my favourite. Unlike you, Judy, I do tend to look at men's necks... and wrists, if you please! ;-) They can be most erotic, I assure you...

Hmmm, pic was there and now has disappeared? Anyone know why that would be? I am down to some last drooling hours before computer gets disconnected!

(SadieR)I am down to some last drooling hours before computer gets disconnected! This sounds ominous! What happens after that?

Sadie you wicked woman thats my neck you're showing to all & sundry! Gi thanks for the tips on man watching it just goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks. I'm taking your advice and looking at a pic of CF showing his hands & wrists in all their glory.Must admit to already having a thing about his hands especially those lovely long fingers-very erotic.

Nothing ominous Gi. Just moving to new apartment soon. (Judy) Must admit to already having a thing about his hands especially those lovely long fingers-very erotic. Yes, nice hands are v. importante!

Oh Sadie, I am in heaven with that picture!! Ummmmmmmmm ....nibble....nibble.....nibble.....nibble. I think it affects me so much because for most of the movie he is so covered up that any view of skin is intensely erotic. Sure hope there's a similar delectable moment in What Matters Most. No promises but you've certainly given me food for thought. Ummmmmmmmm ....nibble....nibble.....nibble.....nibble.

Back by one request-you know who you are. I have a love/ hate relationship with the first proposal scene.When I first read the book I wanted toget this part over & done with,I really felt for Darcy To this day this is a scene I find difficult to watch,asa child I used to hide my head behind a cushion or hide behind the sofa if there was anything on TV I didn't want to watch ,although I didn't quite do this when I saw Colin act this part out it was a close run thing:-D It was Darcy as we know & love him arrogantbut cute & I wanted to kiss him better,I would have made my move & took him in my arms when he went outside,the look on his face & later when he returned to Rosings was a real stomach churner. Another fave for me was "Do not you feel a great inclination,Miss Bennet,to seize such an opportunity of dancing a reel?" She smiled,but made no answer.He repeated the question,with some surprise at her silence. 'Oh !' said she,'I heard you before:but I could not immediately determine what to say in reply.You wantedme,I know,to say "Yes," & I will but only if you will change into your kilt first,sir!

Another fave for me was "Do not you feel a great inclination,Miss Bennet,to seize such an opportunity of dancing a reel?"....You wanted me,I know,to say "Yes," & I will but only if you will change into your kilt first,sir! Damn, I knew you Brits had a better version that what we were shown on these shores. ;-) As for the first proposal scene, I can't hide my eyes at this; rather, I quite like it. But for scenes with Darcy in that I dislike watching it's when Lizzy tells Darcy at the Inn in Lambton about Wickham running off with Lydia. Colin gives a little shudder when Lizzy says, "You know him too well to doubt the rest." That shudder is so hokey! C'mon, Colin you can show distaste better than that.

(Heide)That shudder is so hokey! its his only mistake & the little hand stroke is a winner for me. I like the proposal scene its that he does it so well & he evokes the feelings I had at 14 reading it for the first time that I revert back to feeling embarrassed for him .

LOL Judy, the kilt was in Austen's private unpublished version. How did you get your hands on it (the manuscript I mean)! Thanks and thanks again for starting this off!! I must confess, I love the first proposal scene. Such a great battle. You know, I can't remember my feelings from the first time I read it. I know I was just as shocked as Elizabeth to learn how unfair she'd been about Wickham. But still, Darcy was so sexy I couldn't help hoping for him all along, even though I didn't know how he stood a chance. I find the line "you have said quite enough Madam" to be very sexy. He'll never be a wuss, even when he's feeling shot down. Ever notice that in most of their exchanges, Lizzy attacks but Darcy eventually calls a halt to it and has the final word. I agree, Colin did overact with that shudder. On other hand, he was able to say :"Are you certain, absolutely certain?" in just the right way. I always stumbled over that when reading it. Could never hear it in my head without Darcy's voice rising unpleasantly. *sigh* such a wonderful voice there now. I love Darcy's reply to Lizzy re: dancing the reel. "Indeed I do not dare." Can just picture the amused and smouldering look.

(Sadie)How did you get your hands on it(the manuscript I mean) you were right first time I did needed both hands. I love the way he says abhorrence it gives me delicious shivers. (Sadie)Ever notice that in most of their exchanges, Lizzy attacks but Darcy eventually calls a halt to it and has the final word . There goes our pretence at being modern independent women but yes I have & yes I do love his masterfulness but maybe Lizzy does it on purpose because she gets a thrill out of it as well.She'll do it even more when they're married if she knows whats good for her "you have said quite enough madam,now to bed!" *sigh*shiver*sigh*sigh*sly smile*

needed=need

Now Heide, where'd you go? Hope you come back soon, haven't bumped into you drooling for awhile. (Judy)I love the way he says abhorrence it gives me delicious shivers. And he says it twice! I love the way he looks while at the Collinses when he says "Yes, I call it a very easy distance." Such a nice profile! And "but you would not always wish to be a Longbourn I think". And of course the way he scrambles for self-control and arrogantly takes his leave.

(Judy)There goes our pretence at being modern independent women but yes I have & yes I do love his masterfulness but maybe Lizzy does it on purpose because she gets a thrill out of it as well. Yeah, it's Lizzy who stops arguing and lets him have the last word --- such a good girl, really. But then, I figure she knows that she's already stepped out of line by going on the attack. I think she does get a thrill out of pre-empting him. He's a worthy opponent, but she can only make war so far because the rules of politeness (and of being a good girl) demand that she stops when he makes it clear he's had enough harrassment. I think I find his masterfulness acceptable because Darcy is no bully. It just happens to be damned sexy too! A little risk, a worthy opponent, but no real threat. Honestly though, a little fight in a man means that I wouldn't have to run the relationship all by myself. For me, the Darcy fantasy means someone whose equally strong and not going to turn into a little boy when I lose my temper. "you have said quite enough madam,now to bed!" *sigh*shiver*sigh*sigh*sly smile* LOL Judy! I've always imagined that Darcy knew how to settle disputes.

(Sadie) such a nice profile! yummy, plus his hands ooh I'm doing a Tracy and going all unnecessary!! 'And of course the way he scrambles for self control' Its the thought of him losing that self control that I fantasize about ' 'For me the Darcy fantasy means someone who's equally strong and not going to turn into a little boy when I lose my temper' If you find another man capable of that then let me know in the meantime at least with Darcy there's always the advantage of looking at his breeches to make sure Okay time for another fave moment-Darcy gazing longingly at her as the carriage drives away at Pemberley & what about the witch turning back to look at him?

(Judy) Its the thought of him losing that self control that I fantasize about Bingo! i never realized it before, but you're perfectly right :-)

LOL! Include me in that thought.

(Judy)Darcy gazing longingly at her as the carriage drives away at Pemberley & what about the witch turning back to look at him? Do you really think Lizzy is being a witch here? I thought she was finaly realizing that she had feelings for him and was reluctant to leave. I do agree this is a great scene. It's one of those thin places on my tape. Don't you just want to take that boy in your arms and made it all better?

(Gail) Do you really think Lizzy is being a witch here?I do & I don't. She knows what he feels for her & sheknows what he thinks her feelings for him are so I do just a teeny bit in that respect & that look on his face is a real heart tugger & then again I agree with your view about her realizing her true feelings at lastand maybe thats her way of showing encouragement in a restricted society.And of course who couldn't resist another look at that face,that bod,that still damp hair & as for making it all better I'd go for good old fashioned kissing,neck nibbling & stroking to ease all the pain away . One of my 'thin tape' parts is when he's just got out of the bath & is watching her at play,I can imagine just whats going through his mind probably because I'm thinking the same thing about him.Plus you see his neck in all its glory. *yummy*

Do I hear my name being taken in vain again?? ;-D This part of the tape is a bit care worn for me too...and though I wouldn't go so far as label her a witch, don't you think you can see those tell-tale pund/dollar signs in Lizzy's eyes as she glances back?? Don't do it Darcy..she only wants you for your dosh! Whereas we adore your "other qualities" ;-o~~~

Okay I'll amend it then -a greedy witch:-D

I interpreted that look to be "he's not as proud and disagreeable as I first thought AND he owns this magnificent place" ;-) My tape is worn is several places but one main part is where Mr Darcy and Bingley walk down the stairs together (Mr Darcy is off to London) and Mr Darcy says "utterly and completely". I swoon.

(Cathey) My tape is worn is several places but one main part is where Mr Darcy and Bingley walk down the stairs together (Mr Darcy is off to London) and Mr Darcy says "utterly and completely". I swoon. I agree that is a swoonable moment, but I always have a hard time keeping my eyes focused on Mr. Darcy's eyes where they belong. For some reason they keep drifing downward ;-).

Yes no matter how thin the tape is worn there's always a bulge in certain places & Jana has obviously spotted one :-) My top bulge moment is, erm let me think a minute there's so many of them,what about in London searching for Lydia,definitely a ripe moment.

Well, I must agree with most comments "utterly and completely" myself. On subject of Darcy losing control: There are certain ways I fantasize about that, and certain ways not. It's fun to imagine post-wedding 'cause we know how susceptible he is. After all, he's already lost the battle with his will to his passion. What more will follow? By extension, we get to enjoy Lizzy's power over Darcy and I'm just mean enough to feel a certain enjoyment in his self-torturing along the way to love too. BTW, IMHO, his best breeches are the tan ones he's wearing while atop his horse (used in all the promotions). Have nearly suffered whiplash, travelling between that fine profile (can anyone wear a tophat better, I ask you?) and those thighs...etc.

(Sadie) BTW, IMHO, his best breeches are the tan ones he's wearing while atop his horse Hmmm, lovely, lovely. I've said this many times before but my favorite are the light brown breeches he's wearing as he walks up the steps at Pemberley to escort Lizzie to the carriage. And you're right about that top hat. How does he manage to look gorgeous in it instead of silly? (Judy) My top bulge moment is, erm let me think a minute there's so many of them,what about in London searching for Lydia,definitely a ripe moment. LOL, ripe indeed. But do you think his slightly bunched up shirt tail is adding to the ahem, effect just a bit in that scene? Somehow the proportions seem a little off ;-). Another lovely scene for ripeness though is the second proposal - that is until that #$*@*& camera pans up anyway ;-).

(Sadie) BTW, IMHO, his best breeches are the tan ones he's wearing while atop his horse *sigh* i quite agree, in fact I have a pic of that as my wallpaper. makes starting the morning sitting at a computer alittle more tolerable. (Jana) Another lovely scene for ripeness though is the second proposal - that is until that #$*@*& camera pans up anyway ;-). *double sigh* Oh yeah - camera man was obviously a)male and b)jealous -cause a lady (*cough* perhaps i should say female) would have kept that lovely bit of ripeness in view. ;-0~~~~

I have to agree that he does wear a top hat well (certainly much better than Bingley - sorry Crispin lovers) but I much prefer him without it. That curl that always seems to make its way across his forehead drives me wild. And I long to dig my fingers into that beautiful hair. I have always wished he wasn't wearing a hat for the second proposal scene. How about those silly Napoleon hats they wore at the Meryton assembly? Even ODB couldn't pull that one off. Although again he did look much better than Bingley and Hurst (who wouldn't look better than Hurst?). I also have my favorite bulge moments (in fact I wrote a story about some of them for fanfic) but I hadn't noticed the two mentioned above. I'll have to take another look-see!

Gail - what story was this? i dont remember it, was it recently?

(Jana)But do you think his slightly bunched up shirt tail is adding to the ahem, effect just a bit in that scene? I could cry! but at least it gives me a reason for checking especially if I'm measuring his proportions when my hubby walks in Ladies & Sadie *running to avoid thwack* You can argue as much as you like about which breeches you prefer but as far as I'm concerned the best are the ones you're pulling down at the time. His wedding breeches were strange but if they're going to be ripped off you don't wear your best. (Sadie) atop his horse ooh I wish I was his horse giddy up!! Yes Gail which story

(GailW)How about those silly Napoleon hats they wore at the Meryton assembly? Even ODB couldn't pull that one off. Wot! You mean you didn't like the incroyable bicorne? Take care, it is a much prized keepsake of a highly respected drooler! ;-)

Ladies, I have contributed but little here... (but I lurk most constantly!) However, I must add my share in the conversation! Darcy swings his prominence in Lizzy's face (she's sitting and he's standing) several times... my favorite is when they first meet up again at Hunsford Parsonage and he stands in front of her while she's talking to the Colonel, then he walks away to look out the window... *sigh* ah yes, IT made it's impression on me... FOREVER! And finally, I agree with Judy. I don't know how many times I wished I was his horse! *snicker* Naaaaaaaay!

It sounds like you really know how to start the day Esbee! (JanaJH)I've said this many times before but my favorite are the light brown breeches he's wearing as he walks up the steps at Pemberley to escort Lizzie to the carriage Those are my second choice. I was going to say, forgive me for raising such a delicate subject, but Danielle beat me to it: The parsonage, as he's walking to the window. Now there is a scene that stands out in my mind! No shirttail there, I can tell you. The man himself is in motion. And isn't he wearing those light brown/beige breeches? (GailW)How about those silly Napoleon hats they wore at the Meryton assembly? Even ODB couldn't pull that one off. (Gi)Wot! You mean you didn't like the incroyable bicorne? Take care, it is a much prized keepsake of a highly respected drooler! ;-) The Napoleon hat definitely does something for me too! I say he looks extremely sexy in it, in an arrogant sort of way, as opposed to the top hot (I mean hat, hat!)where he looks extremely sexy in a macho sort of way (the duster coat helps too). Have to agree with you about the hair Gail....It's v. hot all of a sudden in here, what with breeches and hats and bulges and curls, and fine profiles and sensitive hands. Oh my! So Danielle, do please list all the scenes where Darcy is a swinger.

Judy and Danielle, regarding this horse business. Don't forget the scene in Hotpig for a clearer taste of what you're missing!! BTW Judy, filly or brood mare? (*ducking*) Did I mention that the way he uses his riding crop really turns me on?

ps. I wouldn't need to be his horse to enjoy such equestrian skill! *loud whinney-like cackle*

(Sadie) Did I mention that the way he uses his riding crop really turns me on? ROTFLMAO! I'm sure I never noticed it... at all! (Sadie) So Danielle, do please list all the scenes where Darcy is a swinger. I know I have them catalogued somewhere... you must excuse me, while I tear up my room!

I know I have them catalogued somewhere... you must excuse me, while I tear up my room! ROTFLOL *cackle* Too funny Danielle. But tear up your whole house if you need to!

This is a repost from 1997 and Topic 68 BRIEF LIST Since I don't have the aptitude for writing fiction, I applied my analytical and data-gathering abilities to the PP2 tape. As you can see from the data presented below, I was interested in whether there was a common thread (e.g., color of pants, long vs. short, flap vs. flapless). However, I could find only one. With dark pants, you do not get egg roll. Anyway, I had a "hard" time decyphering my scrawls, but here they are for your amusement and/or edification: Meryton Assembly: D: dark pants, 99% waist-up shots, concentrating on face B: light pants; left but not that bouncing in a couple of scenes ("I must have you dance") after MA, Back at Netherfield: D: full length shots ("I would not have you so") but can't tell Lucas Lodge: D: long dark pants, nada B: light, but hardly in scenes, except in background talking to Jane Lizzy at Netherfield: D: tan pants; waist up; at lunch - barely; full shot as he walks to window with coffee - nothing B: light green or grey; definite crumpleness/stuffing as he gets up from table when EB enters room (Billiard Room - nothing) (Parlor - seated at cards or writing) Mrs. Bennet Over to N: D: light pants B: grey pants; a little lump on his left Netherfield Ball: D: dark breeches - nada B: light breeches - no Hunsford - First Visit: D: grey pants; no flap; in middle Rosings (Piano): D: long dark slacks Hunsford - Second Visit: D: light slacks; no flap; can't tell First Proposal: D: long, dark, nothing Gives Letter: D: light slacks with flap; definite left (long strides to catch her) Fencing: D: light slacks with flap; nothing Pemberley: Riding to pond - light pants with flap; definitely on left Sitting down getting undressed - yes, same Wet walk - shirt not long enough for nappie; certainly clingy but nada Dry clothes - camel pants with flap; on left Inn at Lambton: D: light slacks with flap; nothing B: can't tell; coat Pemberley - Piano: D: dark slacks B: light breeches; looks stuffed on both sides Inn - Letter re: Lydia: D: camel slacks, flap, nada What?? Scene: B: looks very stuffed on both sides (talking to Georgianna by piano) London: Drinking leaving Inn - light pants, definitely left Walking streets for Mrs. Yeunge - light pants, on right; very large (something in there) When finds Wickham's place - same Visiting Longbourn: D: camel pants; nada B: his left (as he sits down); flap gapping as he talks to Mrs. B Netherfield Stairs: D: light pants; right; something else there B: camel pants; kind of looks stuffed, but so briefly (see proposal scene - same outfit) Second Proposal: D: light pants with flap; definitely left Wedding: D: light slacks; on right B: light grey

ROTFLOL!! V.v. funny and clever Karen. Bloody brilliant analytic skills! Generally speaking then, you would say he's a lefty, although with signs of being ampisexdrous?

Glad you liked. Was submitted in partial fulfillment for degree in crotchology.

And *that* was when I found Drool! Left-versus-right discussion was raging on :-) 1997, was it? And we're still at it? What a tenacious gang :-)

Not that we're still at it, but that it keeps coming up. :-)

(Gi)And *that* was when I found Drool! Left-versus-right discussion was raging on :-) 1997, was it? And we're still at it? What a tenacious gang :-) There are some things that are just too good to let go of. The story I wrote in fanfic was called 'The Stage Direction' Just a silly piece of nonsense dealing with crotchology. I had never noticed the direction however(ampisexdrous indeed!)so I do thank you Karen for that edification. I will have to watch P&P2 again with your list in hand. It makes it more fun to watch (for the 32nd time) with a clear goal in mind!

LOL! The Art of crotchology features heavily in the Stanislauski (SP) acting method.;-)

Gi)And *that* was when I found Drool! Left-versus-right discussion was raging on :-)1997, was it? LOL...Spring of "97..Feb.? March? Has it been that long? Several of us signed on at that time. Die-hard Droolers;-)

(Danielle) Darcy swings his prominence in Lizzy's face.LOL I'm having palpitations just thinking about it, in fact its hypnotic & I have now taken over Lizzy's body,leaning closer,closer... (Sadie) BTW Judy,filly or brood mare? (*ducking*) LOL but that leaves you as the old nag *galloping away* (Sadie) Did I mention that the way he uses his riding crop really turns me on? are we talking S&M again:-) ampisexdrous-LOL thats some dictionary you're using Karen loved the definitive crotch collection maybe you could publish it with illustrations:-)

Karen! Loved the list... must keep notes and rewind tapes to fill-in missing catalogue! (Sadie) ampisexdrous... A new word! I love this board! (Karen) Was submitted in partial fulfillment for degree in crotchology. ROTFLMAO! I'm sure you passed with flying colors!

(Gail)The story I wrote in fanfic was called 'The Stage Direction' Just a silly piece of nonsense dealing with crotchology. Not silly. Is part of Drool legend now. (Moon)LOL! The Art of crotchology features heavily in the Stanislauski (SP) acting method.;-) Which involves visualizing exercises such as "be the ball"? (Judy)LOL but that leaves you as the old nag *galloping away* LOL! The art of dressage. This nag can't compete. (Judy)are we talking S&M again:-) Got to keep breaking free of those Habits and into some habits. BTW, you haven't given me back my outfit yet! Yes Karen, maybe you could illustrate with snappies? (Any excuse for a cheap thrill ;-P)

Karen - that list!!!! ROTFLOL! OH I love it and i add my vote for snappies :-)

I raise my hand for the snappies as well!

(Danielle)I raise my hand for the snappies as well! LOL! I bet that's not all you're raising your hand for! ('Cause you're a smart woman.) Stand in line sister. BTW, another kilt war should be breaking out any day now, if Judy ever shows up at the same time I'm here...

What did I say Sadie nag.nag,nag no you can't have it back a girl needs a riding habit afterall. Kilt war right I'll meet you outside :-D Amazon Queen!

While we're at it I'll be needing that whip as well, you've had plenty of practice by now. Do you remember that nursery rhyme ride a cock horse

a girl needs a riding habit afterall LOL! We already know what your fave riding habit is too! And no, I never learned a lot of nursery rhymes but that one sounds promising. I'll be needing that whip as well Too bad, it matches my leather boots! I may lend you a chain though. But first, there's the small matter of THE SECOND KILT WAR.

You didn't tell me about the leather boots.A sex shop in Manchester has been robbed this week Know anything about It? The chain though I'd be grateful for anything. Why don't you just admit defeat over the kilt I am determined to have it

I was nowhere near that continent! No chain until War or Peace. (That's a really short novella 'cause everyone chooses Peace at the getgo.) Regarding kilts,you've already got one, remember? Besides, I thought this time you'd go for the prize and not just the package. But if not...

(Sadie) I find the line "you have said quite enough Madam" to be very sexy. "Are you certain, absolutely certain?" "but you would not always wish to be a Longbourn I think" (Judy) I love the way he says "abhorrence" (Cathey) Mr Darcy says "utterly and completely". I swoon. Good lines, ladies, and I quite agree. There are so many delectibles to choose from. I quite like: "You know not how those words have tortured me." Ach, just that little inflection on "torture" says it all! And then Lizzy responds in such an adorable way: "I had not the smallest idea of their ever being taken in such a way." Almost flirtatious. This woman's gonna drive this man wild. Love also when Darcy's waiting for Lizzy at the Inn with Georgiana. She comes in the room - he stands up - (any prominence there? nah, not with his sister in the room). Lizzy says she hopes he has not been waiting long and Darcy replies, "not at all". Pause as he drinks her in. Oops! Suddenly remembers the "real" reason he's there and introduces his sister. (Danielle) my favorite is when they first meet up again at Hunsford Parsonage and he stands in front of her while she's talking to the Colonel, then he walks away to look out the window... LOL! Yeah, it is kind of IN YOUR FACE. Get a kick also in that scene how absolutely everyone else turns to watch Darcy at the window. Notice how Maria's jaw just drops. Hey new girls! You've brought out a few long-time droolers here. Yeah, we may have said it all before but it's simply a lot of fun to refresh oneself at the from time to time and remember what brought us here in the first place.

(Sadie) Besides,I thought this time you'd go for the prize and not just the package.AAGH you tricked me again & got away with the booty! (Heide) Ach,just that little inflection on "torture" saysit all.Mmmm yes a member of Sadies S&M club. (Heide) any prominence there?nah,not wuth his sister in the room.LOL I love this scene as well he's sooo delectable. Karen I'll have to join the placard brigade we want snappies! we want snappies!

With blow-ups.

(Heide) Notice how Maria's jaw just drops. ROTFLMAOAPIMP!!! Whenever I watch that scene, I'm always saying to myself... Nah, she's too young to understand! Plus the fact that I have a whipped, er, warped mind when it comes to Darcybulgitis... hee hee! Thanks for clearing that up!

(Heide)Love also when Darcy's waiting for Lizzy at the Inn...Lizzy says she hopes he has not been waiting long and Darcy replies, "not at all". Pause as he drinks her in. Oops! Suddenly remembers the "real" reason he's there and introduces his sister. Yes, I adore this scene too & the way he says "not at all" --- thanks for reminder of this. (Heide)"You know not how those words have tortured me." Ach, just that little inflection on "torture" says it all! (Judy)Mmmm yes a member of Sadies S&M club. LOL! My club has some distinguished members! (Danielle)Plus the fact that I have a whipped, er, warped mind when it comes to Darcybulgitis... hee hee! Another Drool term! But come now Danielle, you started with "whipped". Finish the thought!! Does it have anything to do with scenes that swing, hmmm?

LOL Danielle -Darcybulgitis-highly contagious Agree with Sadie finish the thought 'whipped' are we talking flagellation here? brings to mind that song whip me with your rhythm stick,whip me ,whip me.

Sadiemasochism...? Enough, madam, enough, I beg you!

Truthful factual reply to Judy's Outrageous Ficticious Stories about Sadie (carried over from Fan-Fic Board) some people say I talk a load of balls but thats another story NAYYY! (as in Nag) that's not story, that's biography -D she understands perfectly afterall she is a Bollock Sister She speaks the truth. I've got my habit to prove it. Sadie I've been trying to get hold of a copy of The Crying Game ever since you started involving me in it LOL! I completely missed the earlier reference to "has bells on". It would kinda fit here. *clue to puzzle* Psst, "DIY DOGGIE" Doggie? As in earlier discussion about being his horse?Remember? It was on this very board only days ago. DIY and DOGGIE: Both at same time are quite an achievement, although hopefully redundant.

Sadie Thats biography-please clarify :-D 1 Sadie's a nag 2 I talk a load of balls 3 both 'I've got the habit to prove it' & what a dirty habit it is!! All these references to The Crying Game should I be worried or feel flattered? DIY DOGGIE DIY=master of own feelings =one handed typer DOGGIE =bitch on heat =kilt Darcy/Colin=cause of DIY DOGGIE Kilt=on heat=master of own feelings =one handed typer Its a humbling moment having to explain my jokes!!

(Sadie) Does it have anything to do with scenes that swing, hmmm? (Judy) 'whipped' are we talking flagellation here? I no longer count sheep jumping a fence when trying to sleep... Is that vague enough for you? (Judy) brings to mind that song whip me with your rhythm stick,whip me ,whip me. ROTFLOL! Who sang this? I must have it, I must!

Oh... Judy and Sadie, you two are too much!

All this talk of bulges reminds me of the hilarious scene in 'The Bar Sinister' when Lydia comes back to Longbourn shortly before Lizzy and Jane's wedding and takes it upon herself to explain what they should expect on their wedding night. She does this after dinner one night and when the gentlemen rejoin the ladies, Lizzy "studiously inspected her shoes, quite determined that her gaze would not alight upon that explicit bulge in the fork of his unhintables." And poor Jane was so spooked she could not speak to her fiance. Lizzy "would have liked to reassure Jane. For she was certain that, regardless of what Lydia told them, Bingley's privates were unlikely (especially in company in the parlour) to burst from his inexpressibles as if an enraged squirrel." Lizzy's discomfort continued when Darcy sat next to her on the sofa "undoubtedly bringing his easily agitated male member with him." "It was now impossible for her to think of anything but Mr. Darcy's tights and what they contained." Join the club Lizzy!

All in the style of mid-Victorian erotica, a good half-century too late. Georgian society was much better informed on the subject, but then it would not give "the Sinister authoress" an excuse to be so frivolous.

LOL Gail, I have not read The Bar Sinister yet. Sounds like a hoot! (Danielle)(previous comment)I know I have them catalogued somewhere... you must excuse me, while I tear up my room! (then)I no longer count sheep jumping a fence when trying to sleep... Is that vague enough for you? Gang-ho! So you found that list, or was it Karen's that you memorized? But what a tease, vagueness is not what we were hinting at!...crotchology as meditation?

Judy The answer is both or neither! & what a dirty habit it is!! It's from all that kneeling (practicing my religion). All these references to The Crying Game should I be worried or feel flattered? Flattered, have you seen him in a basque? DIY=master of own feelings =one handed typer Agreed! DOGGIE =bitch on heat =kilt Got it! But, you did say you'd like to be his horse, so naturally I assumed...

Sadie, 'The Bar Sinister' has gotten a lot of negative reviews but I found it a really fun, sexy book. There is a lot to hate - poor to nonexistent editing, incorrect spelling, wrong names given to people, etc. Fine literature it is not but I think the author wrote it with tongue firmly in cheek and the first section especially is very humorous. It does get serious later, too serious in my opinion, but all in all I liked the book. I loved the characterization of Darcy as sexy, romantic, and heroic - just as I always imagined he would be. I keep the book by my bed and anytime I want a sexy Darcy fix I pick it up and browse my favorite sections.

The Bar Sinister sounds my kind of book-yet another one for my reading list.Can you please let me know the author? (Sadie)The answer is both or neither! oops I've forgot the question:-D ' Its from all that kneeling' - ha its all the stains you mean! 'flattered,have you seen him in a basque ?' HIM? aagh (Gail) Darcy as sexy,romantic,and heroic *big,big sigh*

Re The Bar Sinister, Pride & Prejudice Continues (to give it its full title).. it's by Linda Berdoll and Amazon.co.uk have it for �11.32. Haven't read it myself ..but agree with you, definitely one for my bed-time reading list!

Gail, I hated 'The Bar Sinister' except for that scene with Lydia (hilarious); the one with L&D in her bed chambers at Netherfield when comes back before the wedding (I soooooo wanted them to get it on!), and the 'you're so small/you're too large' wedding night brouhaha (ROTF)! Sadie, it was Karen's list, plus some others I imagined when he was sitting down and staring at her - you know - Darcy crossing his legs and all to keep it down... But I still can't find my list! Agonies!

(Gail)anytime I want a sexy Darcy fix I pick it up and browse my favorite sections LOL! It's important to be a discriminating reader. (Gail) Darcy as sexy,romantic,and heroic (Judy) *big,big sigh* DITTO (Danielle)Sadie, it was Karen's list, plus some others I imagined when he was sitting down and staring at her - you know - Darcy crossing his legs and all to keep it down *cackle*

Just been rechecking a few of my fave moments & now have the urge to Darcy drool! 1 leaving Hunsford after first proposal,the look on his face as he struggles to control his feelings makesme fill up as well. 2 while writing the letter he leans back in the chair exposing his neck in all its glory.Now IMO there are 2 courses of action here-either sink my teeth in or let that apple bob up and down in my mouth. 3 he swills his face after writing letter (I like to think that he is cooling down after what I've just done to him) & his shirt is open & hanging off just begging to be ripped off completely exposing even more of his flesh *slurp,slurp* 4 In the fencing scene he is slightly out of breath & sweating the obvious effect of all that thrusting am now imagining same scenario in the bedroom *panting* 5 His return to Longbourn after Lady C chat,only shortscene but his eyes are so intense that I even forgot to look at his breeches I'm afraid thats all I could take in one session as I'm having hot flushes forming damp patches

*Sigh* All very yummy indeed Judy! Hmm... espically number 4 - that may have some fanfic potential... Darcy teaching Lizzy how to fence. When he taught her how to play billards she ended up bent over the table, and there was serious thrusting involved Must meditate on this for awhile.... ;-P~~~~~~

Judy what about when Darcy enters Longbourn before the second proposal? That look he gives her makes me swoon.

Go for it Esbee! (Moon Dreams) Judy what about when Darcy enters Longbourn before the second proposal? That look he gives her makes me swoon. Yup, yup! uh huh! that's the one... I just start creaming right then and there! uh huh! yup! that's the one...

(Esbee) that may have some fanfic potential,oh yes please the more thrust the better 'When he taught her how to play billards she ended up bent over the table' Oh wow woof woof:-D I'm adding that to my ambition list! BTW whats the story called? Moon,Danielle that was the scene I was talking about in no.5 obviously my mind was more agreeably engaged to be able to explain myself properly-P (Sadiedo you like?) (Danielle) creaming LOL *mock shock* & me a shy girl! BTW where are you self-creamer? I've been at it again today so here goes. 1 On his way back from London to P. he's galloping along & stops.The look on his face at this point is a real tummy tugger ,this guy really needs comforting! 2 Okay that dip scene where he starts stripping off-It got me thinking that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife who could undress him-she would have done the job properly & took his breeches off as well 3 The clinging damp shirt should have had a warning because no matter how many times I see it I'm not prepared for it and come undone! Just wish those breeches were see-through as well (I can't tell you how many times I've retraced his path just imagining him *feeling sheepish*) I didn't get any further because kept having to rew/ffwd to check I didn't get anything wrong

1 On his way back from London to P. he's galloping along & stops.The look on his face at this point is a real tummy tugger ,this guy really needs comforting! I thought he looked a bit plump round the jowls and needed a slimming diet. Or maybe not, who cared. 2 Okay that dip scene where he starts stripping off-It got me thinking that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife... And I thought he was going to drown himself. Seriously. (Never read the book before then.) But all that was shortly before I sort of stepped on the road to Damascus. Yes, it's true: I didn't really like him at all at first - would you credit it? And then, suddenly, wham, 180 degrees on a sixpence...

Judy, the story where Lizzy ends up bent over the billards table is called Mr. Darcy, in the Billards Room, with a Candlestick. :-) enjoy!!

Judy, I like, I like! *Ding, ding, ding* *New sweepstakes spot-the-P&P Reference Winner* Must agree with all scenes people have mentioned. V. sexy. Cannot forget the nice hand as he helps Lizzy into the carriage. I must add the scenes where he's selecting his jacket and then riding off to court Lizzy in Lambton. (Yes, riding crop in hand.) I also love the close-up of him in his sports-carriage as he's heading to London. (Me and profiles) Must also add his posing moments: the way he stands when dealing with George Wickham and then comforting Georgianna at Ramsgate; the way he stands and removes his gloves after dismounting at the pond,and his pose when Lizzy turns round in the carriage as she's leaving Pemberley. Also, his walk up the stairs just previously. Nice thighs! You know, my favourite part of the Pond scene is actually when he's sitting down, removing his neckcloth. Not only for the neck, but because of the contrast between his rugged good looks and the portrait (which does not do him justice, IMO) (Esbee)that may have some fanfic potential... Darcy teaching Lizzy how to fence. When he taught her how to play billards she ended up bent over the table, and there was serious thrusting involved Must meditate on this for awhile You have unerring instincts! Don't just meditate, please perform writing act. Judy, you can find the billiards game story in fan-fic archives. It's by Esbee, entitled: Mr Darcy in the Billiards Room, With a Candlestick. I seem to recall more than one story involving the billiards room. Check out Lisa's The Darcy Diary and The Experiment too (the two go together).

Oops, crossed postings with you Esbee.

(Judy) 3 The clinging damp shirt should have had a warning because no matter how many times I see it I'm not prepared for it and come undone! Just wish those breeches were see-through as well (I can't tell you how many times I've retraced his path just imagining him *feeling sheepish*) Sometimes I actually bend down to see if I can see under his shirt! *bah, baaaaah* (Sadie) Must also add his posing moments: ... then comforting Georgianna at Ramsgate; ... Oh yes! just to hear him say... 'Come...' *slurp* (Sadie again) ... and his pose when Lizzy turns round in the carriage as she's leaving Pemberley. Also, his walk up the stairs just previously. Nice thighs! Thank goodness I have napkins by the keyboard at the ready! drooling can be very dangerous around wirings and such!

Sorry I left the italics on!

ACK! I did it again!

seems better now... I hope!

YES! hee hee!
