Jeez, dee, I thought you were going to tell us you carried his love child. Seriously. I happen to think old Enge is a bit of a characterture of himself, but if you like his music, so what? I happen to like the Rolling Stones, but do I go insane when someone inevitably calls them the ugliest band in music history? Do I get incensed when some teen asks, “The Rolling who?” Of course not. It’s an exercise in silliness. So silly, in fact, I’m still not convinced you aren’t putting us on. Cheers… and try out the ‘Frequency Modulated’ channels some time. ---

Hell, you know what saved me from my first big bout with depression? Star Wars novels. Lots of them. Reading Star Wars until my eyes hurt, and my back was sore from sitting in one position, but it kept me going, it kept me from dwelling on it. Yet, if someone comes up to me, and says, “STAR WARS SUCKS, IT’S STUPID!” I don’t flip out on them! I don’t hold George Lucas up to be a god or something like that. Shit. And no, I’m not making fun of you-just suggesting you stop taking it so personally that we don’t like Humperdinck. I’m sure there are a lot of artists I like that you can’t stand. I don’t care. That’s life, babe. ---

I still have a 78 rpm record of Bing Crosby singing “The Iowa Indian Song”. It changed my life. "Just throw that golden seed down Right down on Iowa ground Before it ever gets there That seed will grow in midair That’s _poetry_. Thank you for letting me share. ---

But it involved the night…the icy winds blowing unfettered across the frozen Iowa tundra…and ten watts of glorious power. ---

I’m a fool; that’s probably what I am now, and I shouldn’t kick this door open again …BUT…I want to say: I thought you could connect the dots. I see you haven’t been able to do that yet. Tip:- I used the word “touch”. I didn’t mean this in just a psychological sense. But in the physical sense also. That should help. What do I have to do , anyway, feed you the whole jar of jam? Honestly! Thanks for all your kindhearted understanding. ---

C’mon Dee, are you going to connect the dotty-bits for us? While you might think that playing the enigmatic coquette is cute, I really am dying and I mean DYING to know what you and Engie-baby got up to. You are being a spoil-sport! (Gee, sorry for being so nasty and rude) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by essvee \* > \*\*am i the only one who thinks deeward and flamsterette were separated at birth? \*\* Oh, and just what is **that** supposed to mean? Is that a reference to my “drama queen” thread of the other day? Or indeed a reference to the “Lynn Bodoni” thread? For the record, I have never met **deeward** , and don’t think that we could possibly have been separated at birth. She’s far more dramatic about Englebert Humperdinck than I could be about that other subject. Sheesh, you guys… [sub]There, not one exclamation point… **now** are you happy?[/sub] ---

**deeward** is _much_ more fun, in her own little way. (No offence, **Flamster** , it’s pretty stiff competition). I have to admit, the comparison does make me laugh. Now, I really want to know if **deeward** and Hump did the horizontal polka! Sort of gives “Please Release Me” whole new meaning, doesn’t it? ---

Dee-Ward! Dee-Wad! Dee-WARD! What? No fucking encore? Well THAT’S been a lousy performance! I WANT MY MONEY BACK… He/she put-out just so far and then cried ‘rape’ about his/her treatment by the board. (puh-leeze don’t get into a PC flaming rave about THIS incident…my complaint is justified, just read the thread). Are you going to give us the gory details of your ‘affair’ or not? If not, then beware the flame that will befall you!!! ---

**kambuckta** , I am growing to love you, but I have to disagree…the performance so far has been _stellar_ - the most fun I have had in a long time. I still want the details - yes, thats right, I want to be fed the whole jar of jam! Also, I would like to know the following: 1. Why does **Deeward** continue to use such weird phrases and metaphors? Jar of jam, toothpick-sucking sense of humor, etc. I don’t get it. 2. Why does **Deeward** continue to use punctuation like this :- It drives me batty. 3. Is **Deeward** a troll? If so, is she the most long-lasting troll, or the weirdest? 4. Did she really make it with Englebert? Ewwwww. I see in her profile that she has children - do you think they have sideburns, and talk in smooth, sultry voices (Mother, it is always a joy to spend time with you…). Even the girls (assuming there are any)? Okay, thats it. Seeing as it has become obvious that **deeward** will not answer me, I am soliciting answers from anyone who happens by this thread - hereafter know as The Thread That Wouldn’t Die[sub]TM[/sub]. ---

I’m not gay but I would fuck Engelbert if I had the chance. On the other hand, it’s a foregone conclusion that Engelbert wouldn’t even fuck **deeward** with Wayne Newton’s dick.
