V. funny, in that case the only thing I do have is the silver muffin tray from Earnest. I have tons and tons of credits and it no one took it, I want Jack's tatoo. (That's not a body part just attached to one.) Or if I'm going to get vetoed, can I change? ;)

Annnnnnnnnnnddddddddd...... "If" there's a towel scene in HP (a la the book), I want the towel.

Darn it, I'm only halfway through my first cup of coffee, you KNOW I mean HS.

(Lisa)(That's not a body part just attached to one.) LOL, I asked for the cheek that the tatoo was on--way back when, before I knew body parts weren't allowed. I hope you have better luck with the tatoo.

(Lisa)"If" there's a towel scene in HP (a la the book), I want the towel. Hey wait a minute, are we allowd keepsakes from a book before we see the film? HS, that is.

(Linda) Hey wait a minute, are we allowd keepsakes from a book before we see the film? Or at least the trailer? Or production stills? Or something? I wondered about that too. (Moon) Originally we would have to write a liitle story or poem to go with what we would do with the keepsake, but no one is doing it anymore. That sounds like a challenge! Okay, I commit to writing a story about the mirror (though not tonight - my brain is fried).

(Moon) Originally we would have to write a liitle story or poem to go with what we would do with the keepsake, but no one is doing it anymore. How on earth (using my Ken Scott voice) is a newbie or whatever you call someone like me, going to get a keepsake. I do understand about the story or poemwriting - but what am I to write about? It seems, there is nothing left. Does anyone have an opdated list? Perhaps, if I go all the way back to AMITC - has anyone claimed the apples, he gets in the bellfree? I think I recall reading, that the rose is taken.

Sorry - it seems I haven't gotten the italics right just yet. I hope, it works this time.

Okay, I think it'll work this time. Otherwise I might have to fall back in disgrace for messing up this board.......

I usually don't swear at all, but this is one of the situations, where all my FP quotes pop up: shit, bollocks, f***** - you all know them, I,m sure.

Annette..... Hi and Welcome. I'm getting all italics here. Try going out of the topic completely and into another. Then come back and see if you have close them.

Yep they're gone from my view.

Hi Lisa - I still just se all italics. I have wondered around other topics, hoping someone would have correctet my mistakes, when I came back. But - alas - it was not to be.

Yes - yes - yes, doing a banana-song look-a-like. The italics have gone and I'm off to bed.

Does the blue comforter (sisters and seasons conversation) in FP belong to anyone? I would long for it, this blue comforter would set me up for life.

I'm grabbing the white tie and tails from WAGW for Lora for her Hanukkah gift... and I'm giving up my rights for the black leather pants to .... The Shake, Shake Girl, herself...Da Boss!

Must have white shirt from Instyle magazine. Sorry ladies. Have not asked before. Will lend with good references and send with Brinks guard. Must claim my treasure and andale away.

The white shirt is nothing, but those jeans - ooh baby - I'll take them anyday.

Getting in here fast! Please, please, please, I want the earring(s) from WAGW! I said I wanted the scarf in an earlier post but it was the wrong wrong topic so I'm changing my mind. Could wear that round the clock without attracting suspicion.

Have not seen HS yet, but I'd like to claim Mandy's scarf. According to Emma, you can't believe what he does with it. So, I'm claiming it sight unseen.

As I said before, if we don't have a Keepmistress to create and maintain the lists, then nothing can be claimed.

Uhm..what does being mistress of keepsakes exactly entail? Is it just writing down and sorting everything? If so, and since I'm still stay-at-home until little one goes off to school, I'll volunteer to try.

Whew! I was this { }close to doing it myself but with much trepidation since time is a big factor. If there's anything I can do... like to help scoping old posts.. *right, I'll do it!*. now can I have that earring? In my other life I nevah grovel.

Grrrr. I came so close to claiming the earring when I noticed it the other day. Well, my fault for procrastinating.

I can certainly help out Ada. Karen please let us know what we need to do. I'm sure we're going to have a lot interested with all the films ready to come our way.

I'd like to claim the white bath towel that adorns his beautiful body in HS. I know that's a little unfair on the majority of you who haven't seen this movie yet, but what the hell, it's my only chance!

Since everyone's eagerly snatching up all these lovely keepsakes, may i please request that we at least make an attempt to follow the orignal rules/guidelines/suggestions/whatever, which required the keepsakees to write a short poem or essay in praise of their keepsake? It's been several years since we did this with any regularity -and it's one of the best parts of the whole keepsake tradition (IMHO) :-) in the meantime, i'm going to be choosing my WAGW keepsake tomorrow, when i get to see the movie *happy dance* ... i cant wait!!! (and yes, i'll write a little something in it's honor ;-) )

Esbee, I'm working on the rules right now and hopefully will be able to post them sometime today. As far as any WAGW keepsakes, I'll list what I have so far. If there is anyone who claimed something that I missed, or if I have anything wrong, please let me know. WHAT A GIRL WANTS 1. Beedee - earring from the 80's 2. Lora - White tie and tails 3. KarenR - Black leather pants 4. MoonDreams - Blue Shirt/Rolls 5. Rika - Mirror Also, if you do want to claim something, please post it here so I won't have to go searching all over....I'm very lazy ;-)!

(AdaVW) Also, if you do want to claim something, please post it here so I won't have to go searching all over....I'm very lazy ;-)! You're not lazy! You're our accountant! And thank you for doing this!! I would like the tennis ball...(you know the one...) if no one else has possession. ;-)

We can only pick one thing?

Don't be greedy, Dorine. Remember that a lot of people don't get to the preview and it would be a shame if we early birds stole all the goodies. For my pick, I want the lovely white shirt he wears in the desert scenes because he looks so sexy and un-stuffy in it.

I won't see it til Tues, so there may not be anything left. ;-) I could pick something now, but change my mind or want to add after I see it.

Of course, something must be left for our friends around the world who have to wait a while to see it, too.

I'd like the white formal shirt, the one he wears unbuttoned into Daphne's room after she's gone.

Will get out the rules today, had a houseful of kids yesterday and couldn't do it....and I will put up a new list so everyone is current. Also, as keeps-mistress I am claiming for myself his sheik (wedding)outfit. (heh..this job has it's perks!) I'll attempt a story when I can think of one :-)

Wot..no one wants the camel?;-)

Evelyn, I was just trying to cook up a poem for that one ;-) One little question: Can you pick a keepsake from every movie or just one in total?

Okay, here it is (pathetic, I know, but you can only come up with so much under pressure): There was a young woman from far out who wantet a keepsake so much. A camel, she thought, would suit her just fine though riding it might cause pain to her spine. Nevertheless, that's the one she chose, 'cause ODB had been riding one of those ;-) Now, can I please have my camel?

Annette, as far as I'm concerned, you can have the camel. Nasty creatures, they spit when they're pissed off, which is a lot of the time.

Wonderful Annette! :-D Now, i would like to claim his Henna Tatoo (*fingers crossed* that Evelyn doesnt scold) ;-P failing that, i'd like to claim is trousers from the Father/Daughter Day. Will post my essay after permission is granted :-)

(Esbee)Now, i would like to claim his Henna Tatoo (*fingers crossed* that Evelyn doesnt scold) ;-P ROTF. Uncross fingers Esbee...why should I care what you claim?;-) "Go to it":-D

*happy dance*

(Esbee?)Now, i would like to claim his Henna Tatoo Well, in case you should miss it, you could allways try to get lucky here: http://www.channel3000.com/shopping/2072542/detail.html I would love to have the Italian Leather Photoalbum, but alas and alack, it is only for US residents ;-)

(Evelyn) Uncross fingers Esbee...why should I care what you claim?;-) LOL -remember Mark Darcy's sideburns?????? hmmm...and since you dont care, i'm going to trade in my BJD keepsake and replace it with said sideburns *rubbing hands together with glee* :-D Thanks for the link Annette! (wonder if Henna Artist could do a decent CF tattoo????)

You're launching into body parts and you only want "sideburns?"

Evelyn! What ever do you mean?!? I think we need to consult the rules here--are body parts eligible for the taking???? I wouldn't want some antivivisection group after us!

(Evelyn) You're launching into body parts and you only want "sideburns?" (Kate) are body parts eligible for the taking???? LOLing....dying on the floor....I want...OMG, what do I want?..(I feel like a kid in a candy shop!) A dimple...and you unimaginative folks can have the upper body ones...I'm thinking HOTPig for mine...but there has to be an essay or whatever...must go get some inspiration!

I think we need to consult the rules here LOL! Okay, okay, I get it, y'all want the rules...and I am two days late with them. Sorry but the hubby had a case study he had to type up (always blame the DH, much easier that way;-)!) THE RULES! 1. Everyone will be allowed to "own" one and only one item per film. - no trading or giving back items from other movies to claim 2 from the new film in question. 2. Newcomers may claim "unclaimed" items only. 3. Body parts (including hair) is forbidden. If you can prove CF wore a wig in the role, that you may claim. (Sorry ladies, there's only so much of CF to give out, we have to share :-).) Guideline (not a rule, as guidelines are not enforceable) Claimants should write a poem, essay or other creative expression of their regard for said claimed items. While this guideline cannot be enforced, following it is desirable as (a) these creative submissions will be used to resolve any cases of dispute and (b) your Keepmistress wants to read them and you know how important it is to stay on the good side of your Keepmistress. ;-) That's about it. Thanks to Marcia for posting them way way back and thanks to Karen for all her help in the past week. Esbee, as far as your tattoo is concerned...hmmm, not too sure about that. It isn't a body part but it is on his body. Gonna have to think about it. Maybe a great story will sway my mind ;-).

(AdaVW) Sorry ladies, there's only so much of CF to give out, we have to share :-) LOL! Thank you, oh, noble Keepmistress. Am off to work on my "tribute" to the shirt.

(Ada) Esbee, as far as your tattoo is concerned...hmmm, not too sure about that. It isn't a body part but it is on his body. Gonna have to think about it. Maybe a great story will sway my mind ;-). off to pen the greatest, juiciest epic ever written (or a lymric at the very least) ;-) (Evelyn) You're launching into body parts and you only want "sideburns?" LOL, i was going for a 'matched set'. i have Fitzwilliam's curl (the one that rests so oft upon his noble brow) and i thought if i had Mark's sideburns -it would be a lovely Darcy set. But, i'll abide by the rules -just know i'm pouting like a spoiled little princess (heehee!) ;-D (Ada)(always blame the DH, much easier that way;-)!) LOL, talk about "The Rules"!! -that's one i can really get behind ;-P Am off to work on my "tribute" to the shirt Can't wait to read it Kate!!

Okay, a while back (before I saw WAGW) I claimed the tennis ball...well, that will 'learn me'! The lovely TB from the promo photo of ODB sitting in the swing next to 'Daphne' did not appear in the movie! The scene was shot in close-up so there is no view of my beloved ball. Since that is probably against the rules, I will have to pick something else and will do so later...after I have had time to 'shop' during another WAGW viewing....and I was getting reading to come up with some great Haiku incorporating toes and a fuzzy ball....gah! (sorry)!

Oh, Tress, Haiku! I�m impressed. The only poetry I can write is limericks. So in lieu of a poem, my offering is a short story. (BTW, Tress, I think there is one long shot in which you can see the tennis ball. But you don't see him touching it.) Kate Claims the Shirt The scene: a desert in Morocco Newly hired temp production go-fer Kate stood off to one side of the action, holding the clapper board for the clapper guy. She watched as the camera operator checked the focus on the man beside the Jeep. The director called �Places!� and Kelly gamely flopped down in the sand, taking the place of her stand-in. Kate held her breath as HE walked over to the Jeep, nodded to his stand-in, and took his position. �Wait! Glasses!� called Continutity. �Right, right,� muttered Colin as he dug in a pocket and retrieved the glasses. Kate watched in fascination as her heart throbbed wildly. How could he look so cool in the desert sun? Surely no man could look so cool and so hot at the same time. What is it about this man and a white shirt? Hmm, white shirt� Kate�s thoughts began to drift, but she was brought back to reality when the clapper guy grabbed the clapper board out of her hands. The director was still talking to his star when an inspired Kate ran to the caterer�s tent. Thank goodness the caterer was well prepared for this environment! The clapper guy clapped the clapper board. The director called �Action!� Kelly shrieked as if she had just tumbled down a sand dune. Colin turned, removed the glasses and ran toward her, then SPLASH! Where did that water come from?!? �Cut!� the director hollered. Colin and Kelly looked around dazedly. Then they saw Kate, eyes glazed over, heart still throbbing, a trickle of drool escaping from the corner of her mouth. She held an empty bucket. �Who are you?� asked Colin. �Um, er, um, ah�� He wanted to be angry, but she looked at him so adoringly that he smiled. Ever the gentleman, he said, �Well, that was, erm, refreshing.� �Get her out of here!� cried the director. Then he turned to Kate. �Do you work here? Because if you did, you�re fired! Get out. Wardrobe! Makeup!� Colin�s dresser arrived with a fresh shirt. As she was being hauled away, Kate called, �If you�re not going to wear that shirt again, may I have it?� Alas, she was not allowed to have the garment in question, which is why she is claiming it as a Keepsake.

(Naughty Kate) Alas, she was not allowed to have the garment in question, which is why she is claiming it as a Keepsake. Oh what a bad girl you've been...clever ...but bad. The only problem is, at my house that would count as positive reinforcement of negative behavior. But conversely, you were creative, prepared, resourceful and considerate (I'm sure he was pleasantly cooled!) so I say go for it!

The clapper guy clapped the clapper board. ROTF...this cracked me up! Hope no one got the clap! Colin turned, removed the glasses and ran toward her, then SPLASH! Where did that water come from?!? It came from the pond at Pemberley, perhaps? Bravo Kate!! Very funny!! BTW, Tress, I think there is one long shot in which you can see the tennis ball. But you don't see him touching it. I saw it too...all buried in the sand (as if someone's toes had been very busy getting it all sandy). But, like you said, he wasn't touching it (and it was on screen for probably about a nano-second).

(Annette) There was a young woman from far out Annette, Wonderful limerick! Very cute and not pathetic at all. Much better than I could ever do. The camel is yours. Don't forget to feed and water him every couple of days, he might get grumpy and start spitting ;-). (Kate)Kate Claims the Shirt Very funny and very sly :-)! No one saw you with that bucket? The shirt (wet or dry)is yours to keep. The keepsakes claimed for WAGW are as follows: Beedee - Earring from 80's Lora - White tie/tails KarenR - Black leather pants Moondreams - Blue Shirt/Rolls (I'm letting Moon have the Rolls, even though I said only one item, because she claimed it so long ago, but for the next movie....sorry darlin!) Rika - mirror KateF - Desert Shirt from 80's Annette - Camel Esbee - Tattoo Ada - Sheik outfit Linda, I haven't listed your shirt because Evelyn gave Lora the white tie/tails and I think the shirt he's wearing is from that outfit. Can someone else remember because I just kept staring at his face(it does give me another reason to go see the movie though :-))!

Yes, white tie and tails, but not the shirt as far as I know. So I'd still like to claim it if I may

I would like the Desert shirt at the end, in the present time, please. :-D

(Kate's limerick)What is it about this man and a white shirt? Hmm, white shirt� Kate�s thoughts began to drift, Well, who's doesn't after this wonderful appetizer. Well done! And thank you for the camel. I'll be shure to treat him kind. He won't have any reason to spit (unless some of you want to hire him for that exact purpose? ;-))

Unless I hallucinated it, WAGW is the bathrobe from the kitchen scene when he says, "Sweet Dreams."

Joyce, excuse me, but hunh?

(Joyce) WAGW is the bathrobe from the kitchen scene when he says, "Sweet Dreams." (Ada) Joyce, excuse me, but hunh? LOL...I think Joyce is saying ODB is a hottie in that bathrobe and she wants it. Good call, BTW! (if I'm wrong I apologize). Okay, I gave up the tennis ball as it didn't have any screen time in the film....I would now like to ask for ODB's trash (that's right)! I would like to claim the plane ticket and other stuff he takes out of his jacket pocket at the end....as he fumbles to tell Daphne he loves her...

(Tress) I would now like to ask for ODB's trash (that's right)! I would like to claim the plane ticket and other stuff he takes out of his jacket pocket at the end....as he fumbles to tell Daphne he loves her... OMG! This is too good--what good stuff! I *might* argue though this is more than one thing! (running and ducking!) How do you call this, oh Keeper of the Keepsakes? (I feel so deeply for that poor tennis ball that was left on the cutting room floor...)

(Tress)I would now like to ask for ODB's trash (that's right)! I would like to claim the plane ticket and other stuff he takes out of his jacket pocket at the end.... Great, Tress. I haven't heard back yet if I can have the formal white shirt, the one from Daphne's party. I don't want the tie and tails, I know they have been claimed. Need to know, so I can quick claim something else;-)

I haven't heard back yet if I can have the formal white shirt Linda, I was waiting to see if Lora wanted the shirt(when I think tie/tails I think the whole tux) but since she hasn't said anything, I'm assuming she's happy with the tuxedo itself so the tux shirt is yours :-)! (BarbS) I *might* argue though this is more than one thing! (running and ducking!) How do you call this, oh Keeper of the Keepsakes? Thank you so much Barb, giving me such a dilemma on my first movie:-P!Technically it is more than one piece of paper, Tress, but since you called it trash (stretching it I know)I'll let you have it. (especially since the tennis ball is a no-show and we know you loved that ball!)I think to help your cause more, you might want to write down something in your admiration of said trash. (Joyce) Unless I hallucinated it, WAGW is the bathrobe from the kitchen scene when he says, "Sweet Dreams." (Tress)I think Joyce is saying ODB is a hottie in that bathrobe and she wants it Joyce, if Tress is right, and you do want the bathrobe, it's tagged for your closet. Okay, let me update the list again: Beedee - earring from the 80's Lora - white tie/tails KarenR - black leather pants MoonD - blue shirt/Rolls Rika - mirror KateF - desert shirt from the 80's Annette - camel Ada - sheik outfit LindaK - tuxedo shirt Esbee - tattoo (still waiting for that ditty;-)!) Dorine - desert shirt from present (good call!) Joyce - bathrobe Tress - "trash" (plane ticket, papers)

(Linda) I haven't heard back yet if I can have the formal white shirt, the one from Daphne's party. I don't want the tie and tails, I know they have been claimed. I see Ada just posted, but usually when someone claims an outfit (white tie and tails) it cannot be broken up into pieces. It means the whole thing. Presumably, the pants he wore with the white tie/tails haven't been claimed. An outfit like that is an outfit.

(Ada) Technically it is more than one piece of paper, Tress, but since you called it trash (stretching it I know) I'll let you have it. (especially since the tennis ball is a no-show and we know you loved that ball!) LOL....I think of that ball often with a tear in my eye. To end up on the cutting room floor like that! Such a pity! (and thank you for allowing me to have Henry's trash!) (Ada) I think to help your cause more, you might want to write down something in your admiration of said trash. I'll promise something worthy of the dusbin in honor of my beloved trash!! ;-)

Petition to the Great and Powerful Keep Mistress for the WAGW White Terry Bathrobe by Joyce Should I be granted, the robe white and terry. I'd swing chandelier style, and be very merry. I'd have a housecoat, that'd make me go loco. And I'd have a wrap, when I eat pops de cocoa. It's loopy thick fabric, is better than silk. It'd keep me quite cozy, when I poured on the milk. I'd prop up my feet, and I'd stop my bitchin'. while wearing that man's gown, when I'm in my kitchen. Yes, I'd stop my fussin, I'd stop my bawlin'. If I could just once smell, the scent of that Colin. I'd lean back and send myself, out of my gourd. As I remembered, Henry Dashwood - the Lord. I go off to Bedfordshire, wrapped up in mirth. Remembering two hours, that I spent with Firth. There's no other way now, And so it seems. That only my keepsake, will give me Sweet Dreams.

Well done, Joyce! Give this woman a bathrobe! the scent of that Colin. Reminds me of the debate about the auctioning of the reindeer sweater, and whether it had been washed or drycleaned.

And I'd have a wrap, when I eat pops de cocoa. Excellent! Well done. Brava!

while wearing that man's gown, when I'm in my kitchen. Wouw, Joyce. There is something about that man and kitchen-scenes. It will surely provide me with sweet dreams (though the bathrobe will be with it's original owner for this one). Great poem, your bathrobe is well deserved!!

Can't decide whether to claim the navy blue "Vote-for- Dashwood" suit, (I have the look-a-like navy suit at the dinner table in MLSF) or the kaftan. If I take the latter, can I have the bedouin hat to go with it...it's an outfit. (I'll skip the hippie wig, thank you;-))

Having been privileged to see it a 2nd time, I think I want to claim the black muscle tee he was wearing for his mirror-dance. I am working on a tribute...

(Joyce) WAGW White Terry Bathrobe Brava Joyce! Wonderful poem. The robe is forever yours :-)! (Evelyn) Can't decide whether to claim the navy blue "Vote-for- Dashwood" suit, or the kaftan. If I take the latter, can I have the bedouin hat to go with it...it's an outfit Oh Evelyn, I'm sorry, the kaftan is the outfit I claimed. I called it the sheik outfit because I didn't know what else to call it. But if you really want it I have no problem giving it up. I pretty sure I can find something else. (KJ)I think I want to claim the black muscle tee he was wearing for his mirror-dance Actually, that is still up for grabs, so I will await your tribute with bated breath. He must have worked up a sweat for that scene :-P!

Thanks Ada.No. "Claimers , Keepers". I'll take the navy suit....I always do. That seems to be his uniform when he plays a "repressed" Englishman. Although the gray pin-stripe is sorta cute too.

O.K., I am verrry slow to catch on... Just realized I was missing out over here. Please be gentle, I have not the talent(or the time today!)..yada yada (I'm going to cringe when I hit send)... The watch, I must confess, its true I would forever treasure My spirits would delight anew With thoughts of him at leisure A stab of guilt? His watch less hand No, my conscience is quite clear For in this crystal, stem and band His time was spent so near The owner is the sort of man That makes the clock stand still And I the sheepish sort of fan, With a bottom the size of Brazil? (oh come on! You would have done it too!!) So please I beg for this one piece Of Henry�s neat possessions I do not care if it is Suisse As long as it soothes my obsessions�

(MariaT)With a bottom the size of Brazil? (oh come on! You would have done it too!!) LOL, right - only in my case it happens to be true ;-) No need to cringe at all - v.v.g.

(Maria) His time was spent so near The owner is the sort of man That makes the clock stand still Very nice. Definitely a Keepsake worthy poem. Thanks Maria. I must apologize. I want the bathrobe from the kitchen scene but it may not be white. I'll need another trip to the theater to verify. Somebody has to do it. ;) There were two kitchen scenes? One when he finds her (dark blue robe?)and the other when she surprises him and he hits his head. Please give me until Friday to verify, unless someone can do it sooner. : )

(joyce)I want the bathrobe from the kitchen scene but it may not be white. I thought it was navy. I only remember the kitchen scene where he hits his head, and then almost at the end when he's remembering her, after she's gone. I thought he may not have had a robe on in that last one. I think it was a blue shirt, the same one when his mother comes into the study and talks about his heart.(Just after that last kitchen scene)

(Joyce)I want the bathrobe from the kitchen scene but it may not be white. (Linda) I thought it was navy. I'm pretty sure it is navy and it has white spots (very small...part of a pattern). (Linda) I thought he may not have had a robe on in that last one. I think it was a blue shirt, the same one when his mother comes into the study and talks about his heart. The blue Coco Pops shirt!! That's the 'sweat shirt' Notice when he lifts his arm to pour the pops!! ODB is sweatin'! I almost claimed that instead of my trash!

My spirits would delight anew With thoughts of him at leisure Happy thought indeed!!

(Maria) I do not care if it is Suisse As long as it soothes my obsessions� You are a poet(tess) and now we Know it! This is a line we all can relate to, too!

Great poem, Maria. Enjoy the watch!

Joyce!!! Loved the bathrobe poem and Maria -that was great! silly girl to be so nervous. i'm still grining over the 'bottom the size of Brazil' bit (Annette) LOL, right - only in my case it happens to be true ;-) that makes two of us chica! ;-) (Ada)Esbee - tattoo (still waiting for that ditty;-)!) Gah! *blushing in shame* i'm still working on it. A line here, a line there... will make serious attempt to finish off this weekend :-)

(Joyce)I'd have a housecoat, that'd make me go loco. And I'd have a wrap, when I eat pops de cocoa. I'd lean back and send myself, out of my gourd. As I remembered, Henry Dashwood - the Lord. Joyce, as I sat in the theatre last night waiting for viewing #4 to begin, the pops de cocoa and HD the Lord bit came back to me and I sat there with a silly grin staring at the screen waiting...classic...

Ladies, I am so sorry I've been remiss in keeping up with the keeps. It's been a tad hectic here lately. We had guests over the weekend and more are coming this weekend. We've been trying to grow some sort of grass for our very bare yard and suffice to say it's going very slowly. Now it's spring break week and I'm having a lovely time keeping up with these two scamps of mine. I need a calgon moment thats for sure. Heh..okay, I'm done complaining. On with the list!! BTW, I've been having such fun reading all your submissions and am thrilled that you're taking part in this. Hopefully you are all having a great time too. Maria, your poem was wonderful. Hopefully your obsession gets soothed a little with Henry's watch...but not too soothed, that's what makes obsessions so much fun ;-)! Evelyn, if you're sure about the blue suit, then it's yours, darlin'. But, you are right that grey striped suit is very very nice. Then, there are those tan pants with the strange bulge in the back pocket...those are still free. And that blue shirt when he's pouring the cocoa pops, and the present day earring, and his tan jacket from Morocco and his pajamas under that blue robe....hmmmmm, my, oh, my, it's getting rather hot in here, and I'm too young for hot flashes yet ;-)! Got to go get some water. Will have the new list up today sometime.

This is errata for the bathrobe poem. It is navy and dotted with a small pattern. Please grant me poetic license to call it a blue dotted robe. Looks like it is woven fabric and so I shall also call it nubby which means having nubbles. I will treasure the robe and every nubble. Petition to the Great and Powerful Keep Mistress for the WAGW Bathrobe by Joyce Should I be granted, the robe blue and dotted. I'd swing chandelier style, and be quite besotted. I'd have a housecoat, that'd make me go loco. And I'd have a wrap, when I eat pops de cocoa. It's nubby blue fabric, is much better than silk. It'd keep me quite cozy, when I poured on the milk. I'd prop up my feet, and I'd stop my bitchin'. while wearing that man's gown, when I'm in my kitchen. Yes, I'd stop my fussin, I'd stop my bawlin'. If I could just once smell, the scent of that Colin. I'd lean back and send myself, out of my gourd. As I remembered, Henry Dashwood - the Lord. I�d go off to Bedfordshire, wrapped up in mirth. Remembering two hours, that I spent with Firth. There's no other way now, And so it seems. That only my keepsake, will give me Sweet Dreams. Thank you Ada. I can't even think about the pajamas. Could we call it a bedroom ensemble?

So how come no one has picked the Eddie Bauer blue plaid shirt he wears while reading the parting letter from Libby;-)) (*holding nose*Euuuuuu

(Evelyn)So how come no one has picked the Eddie Bauer blue plaid shirt he wears while reading the parting letter from Libby;-)) (*holding nose*Euuuuuu It could be worse Evelyn...He could be wearing the plaid shirt and sporting a mullet...;-)) (Saw just such a sight about 6 weeks ago outside my office window...I wish the mother ship would return soon and take me back to my galaxy...)

First time in this topic... let me do a quick request before going for my 6th viewing tonight. How about that "Pops de Cocoa" box for me (droolable as touched by Lord Henry Dashwood (insert bow) yet sensible as can be used in a pinch -- Julian talk). That would set me up forever.... Will think of a poem later (that would be my first in the English language). Thanks AdaVW for taking up this keepstress task! (now say that 6 times faster :) )

Ok could not wait any longer with fingers just crossed (H-1 to HD on the big screen again). So here is a small offering - a first verse in French (syllable counts are off towards the end but they get lost in translation anyway): Ce ne sont que des c�r�ales Qui, bien qu�un r�gal, Ne pourraient, dans d�autres mains, Que traduire un besoin bien humain. Mais que d��motions vous trahissez Pendant que vous et votre fille d�jeunez... Lord Dashwood ne croyez pas Que votre contrebande soit hors-la-loi Elle n�est que juste compensation Pour partager votre palais Avec une parfaite abomination - Une descendante de Caroline Bingley! English translation: These are only cereal Which even though a tasty treat, Would, in other hands, Only translate a very human need. But what emotions you betray As you and your daughter are eating... Lord Dashwood do not believe That your contraband is out-of-law It is only a just compensation For sharing your palace With a perfect abomination - A descendant from Caroline Bingley!

Joyce - Should I be granted, the robe blue and dotted. I'd swing chandelier style, and be quite besotted. Joyce, I loved your poem before, now I'm completely jealous that I let you keep it ;-)! (Evelyn) So how come no one has picked the Eddie Bauer blue plaid shirt he wears while reading the parting letter from Libby;-)) (Maria) He could be wearing the plaid shirt and sporting a mullet...;-)) Heh..could even be more worse than that...he could be wearing the flannel, a mullet with dirty old boots AND a can of chew in his back pocket. (and yes, I do know people that still dress this way..unfortunately some are related to me ;-)!) Odile, your offering is wonderful either in french or english. Since it's been way too many years to remember my high school french correctly, please forgive me if I screw this up. Le "pops de cocoa" sont pour vous a demain et demain et demain (which in my very bad way means forever :-)) Okay, updated list: Beedee - earring from 80's Lora - white tie/tails KarenR - black leather pants MoonD - blue shirt/Rolls Rika - mirror KateF - 80's desert shirt Annette - camel Ada - Moroccan wedding outfit LindaK - tux shirt Esbee - tattoo Dorine - present day desert shirt Joyce - blue nubby bathrobe Tress - plane ticket/trash KJArt - black t-shirt Evelyn - blue suit or grey stripe suit - whichever ;-) MariaT - watch Odile - "pops de cocoa" box

(Ada)Lora - white tie/tails Love the white tie/tails, but I wasn't the one who requested them. Maybe it was Laura? Wouldn't want to take anybody's keepsake. So whoever claimed these they're still yours! I haven't asked for a keepsake yet, but maybe this will get me looking for one at my next viewing... Ada, thanks for putting the list together. I'll let you know when I decide. I guess I'll need to be poetic too, huh? Have been eyeing the spoon he uses when eating pops de cocoa in the kitchen. Loves the way he grabs it with agility with the same hand that's holding the bowl.

(Lora)Have been eyeing the spoon he uses when eating pops de cocoa in the kitchen. Loves the way he grabs it with agility with the same hand that's holding the bowl. Go for it. I always love the way he grabs the bowl and spoon together. He does it again when he's thinking of her and walks into the kitchen a second time.

(Ada)Lora - white tie/tails (Lora)Love the white tie/tails, but I wasn't the one who requested them. It wuz me!!...*I* gave them to you either for your birthday or Hannukah. I think it was the latter. 'Cause I gave the boss the black leather pants then I originally claimed. I felt she should have the numero uno item in this film. (*violins in the background*..Awwww) But should you prefer the coco puffs spoon, you can exchange it . 'won't hurt my feelings:-))) BTW. pl. I want the navy blue suit.It's the 'same suit';-) he wore at the dinner table in MLSF and to Bridget's b'day party.

(Evelyn)BTW. pl. I want the navy blue suit.It's the 'same suit';-) he wore at the dinner table in MLSF and to Bridget's b'day party. OH, I loved that suit in MLSF...lucky girl.

(Evelyn to Lora)But should you prefer the coco puffs spoon, you can exchange it . very pp as in whispering: If the white tie/tails get "released" is it possible to exchange your keepsake? I'm afraid I was a bit quick to claim the camel. I'm having trouble making room for him. As for the white tie/tails I have just the right place to keep them :-) Your poems and limericks are great, ladies. (Big applause!!) (Linda)OH, I loved that suit in MLSF...lucky girl. Loved the suit, the man, the hair...................

(Evelyn) BTW. pl. I want the navy blue suit.It's the 'same suit';-) he wore at the dinner table in MLSF and to Bridget's b'day party. I'd hate to open your closet. A bunch of dark blue suits. Tres boring. ;-) But to each, her own. *sniffing leather pants*

Might I have the cell phone? If so, I'll produce a poem later.

(KathyF) Might I have the cell phone? If so, I'll produce a poem later. Ohhhh....good call (pun intended)! We all know where that cell phone usually resides! And the added bonus of probably having Glyniss' number in memory so you can crank call her! ;-)

(Evelyn)It wuz me!!...*I* gave them to you either for your birthday or Hannukah. Oh, Evelyn, where have I been that I didn't realize that you had given the white tie/tails to me? I'm so sorry I didn't know! If it was for Hannukah that would have been the end of November when I was not on line a lot. I feel terrible that I didn't know and never properly thanked you for such a ravishing present. There's nothing like white tie and tails to light up my Menorah! Thanks so much, Evelyn! So it would seem that the white tie/tails are mine! How perfectly delightful! Feel like cinderella at the ball! Thank you, thank you, Evelyn! Annette, so sorry. You can have the spoon if you want :-/. Like Linda says, he scoops it up twice while masterfully still holding his bowl in the same hand. Sort of like how he keeps the diary in his hands while still using those hands to cover Bridget up in his coat (BJD) ;-). Now I must find a specal place in my closet for white tie and tails. Oh Henry! And thanks again, Evelyn!
