I feel the need to add to this one (why, I don’t know) Obsession for Men cologne. Cops Firemen (those are a long story) hard bodies clean cut guys motorcycles leather jackets A flirt Also, someone mentioned baseball caps- I get hit on constantly when I wear my long hair in a ponytail with a baseball hat (and drive my truck). I always think that’s a strange turn on, but lots of guys love that look, I guess. Zette * * * A friend is someone who likes you even though you’re as ugly as a hat full of assholes.

> [@](#): > > Me too! But not sunglasses; just regular ol’ eyewear (curse the contact lens and laser surgery movements! ) Yeah. There’s nothing more disappointing than a good looking bespecticaled gal who suddenly switches to contacts. ☹ A few more that I failed to mention: Mismatched eyes - one blue, one green; one green, one brown; etc. That’s just so … Mmmm.

Translation of Coldfire’s last statement (I don’t have a dictionary for the words I don’t know off hand). “Fiche-moi la paix, salaud ! J’en ai ras-le-cul maintenant ! C’est vachement la germe !” Get off my back (in French this is suppose to be offensive), bastard (or equivelant)! I don’t suck butt now! (not a literal translation) It’s bloody (in the sense that the English say “bloody”) germy. To put it more succinctly, get off my back, bastard! I don’t felch, now! It’s disgusting. Nothing there did I find offensive. If you wanted to say something offensive I would have said something like “va te faire foutre en ta cul morpion deprave!” or something such as that. 🙂 But of course, Coldfire knows all of this since he speaks French, Dutch, English and various other languages. This is in no way meant as a flame. 🙂 ## HUGS! Sqrl Gasoline: As an accompaniement to cereal it made a refreshing change. Glen Baxter ---

Glasses. Bathrobes. Guys who quote Robert Herrick. (Hey, MadPoet, over here!) Being kissed on the neck and / or lower back. Good red wine. Guys who can actually follow my conversation after a few glasses of wine. Gentleness, intelligence, and a quick wit. Having my hair stroked. Flannel sheets. * * * “The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.” - Bill Watterson ---

Thanks a lot Sqrl, I had just finished convincing the TM in various threads that in fact I am NOT obsessed with Felching 😉 “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me RIGHT… BACK… IN… !!” OK now, I’m sure the connotations will vary per location (so, bear with me Quebecians 😉 ), but in the French Argot (‘slang’) the actual translation is something as follows. “Fiche-moi la paix, salaud ! J’en ai ras-le-cul maintenant ! C’est vachement la germe !” Fiche-moi la paix: it is in fact more along the lines of ‘Fuck off’. Salaud: Bastard is OK, though Pervert is closer. J’en ai ras-le-cul maintenant: Now I’ve had enough of it. But then more like: Now I’m fuckin’ sick and goddamn tired of it 🙂 C’est vachement la germe: more like ‘This fuckin’ sucks !’ ## And I do apologize for all the uncalled for profanity in this post - but since inquiring minds must know, what can I do… Coldfire * * * “You know how complex women are” - Neil Peart, Rush (1993) ---
