Nobody rules over me other than the tax man and the grim reaper, they are two people I have to obey and look out for, lol and obviously I criticize anyone who criticizes me....although ignoring those types is probably best.

@ Cristy: I never met Pamela, but her blog looks like a good read:
Purely Pamela
I've been to Kitchener-Waterloo. It reminds me of a cop at a crime scene: "There's nothing to see here, people, move on...". btw, Kitchener was formerly know as "Berlin" Ontario, until after the outcome of World War I was decided.
I haven't been there since the mid 1980's. I do recall that they had "Octoberfest money", actual minted coins that were legal tender at almost any business, during Octoberfest. I don't know if selected merchants would redeem them after that, or if they did that every year, or if you could use previous years' coins in another year. It's the same idea as when the post office makes a commemorative stamp design; they cost the same amount as regular stamps, but they don't expect people to actually use them.
I don't know Pamela, so she might or might not consider it funny, if a guy tried to pay for a date with Octoberfest coins. I would think an Escort might consider it funny if a guy did that momentarily, with a straight face, then said "just kidding", and gave her an envelope with large denomination bills.

@ Cristy: I picked up an unopened copy of the 1983 Fanny Hill DVD at the 'flea market' yesterday, for two bucks. This link may be of interest to you, for erotic romance films you may not have seen:
Category:Erotic romance films - Wikipedia
I use a list like that to 'narrow down the suspects", when I've seen a film, but can't remember what it's name was. It's not uncommon that an actress never makes another film, after being in one of those!
They're usually fairly difficult to find, on DVD. Lots of stores don't carry them, and lots of people want to see them, but they don't want to admit it, or they don't want to own a copy, or their house guests will 'borrow' them, without asking, then try to slip them back in place, on a subsequent visit.
In a married man's home, his wife might not 'let' him have a DVD like that in the house, especially if they have young kids, or some house guests would just gossip about them, if they were nosey about what DVDs their hosts had. I like to own hard copies.
I don't usually have that kind of problem, because I don't invite 'stuck up' people into my home, or if they try to impose their values on me, I show them the door. I consider that to be 'addition by subtraction'.
I recall "The Lover" was a pretty hot film. Jane March 'turned eighteen shortly after filming began.', according to Wikipedia.
This is one of those 'grey area European films', that some people would consider 'kiddy porn', only because the character Jane plays is under 16, but the actress is, (barely), of legal age. It's not 'smut', however, it's an erotic 'coming of age' film, set in 1929 French IndoChina. It's an 'adult film' in the sense that it's for an adult mind, as opposed to a 'porn film', which is aimed at anyone over eighteen years of age, who wants to see people having sex.

Yeah, I was wondering if that was from the Sonny & Cher Show? I remember watching that when I was a kid, I'm now well into my middle ages. That horse she was riding on, it was so still, I thought maybe it was a prop, then I saw it's head moving. Super tame horse.
Yeah, Greg Allman just died, one of her previous husbands. The other previous husband, Sonny Bono, died way back in what 1988, in a skiing accident?

@ blackram: Sonny was a politician in California when he died. If I recall correctly, he was skiing on a 'bunny trail', somebody recognized him, he turned his head to smile and wave, and crashed head first into a tree because he wasn't watching where he was going, so definitely a 'Darwin Award' death!
Like many people at the time, (early 70's), I watched the Sonny and Cher Show for a few reasons:
1) There were only a few channels of original material on the VHF 2-13 range that we could get with the 'rabbit ears' at the cottage in the summer.
2) We only had one TV.
3) That's what the other people wanted to watch. The alternative was to not watch TV, and do something else, like read a book. There wasn't much for a kid to do outside at night at a cottage in the early 70's, other than bump into trees, or get eaten alive by mosquitoes. You could read a book, listed to baseball on the radio, or 'rub one out'. If you were reading the right book, you could do all three simultaneously, and no one would be the wiser.
4) Cher wore next to nothing, much of the time.
The 'comedy-variety' format, especially in the summer time, promoted quite a few careers in the early to mid 70's. Jim Stafford, Tony Orlando and Dawn, The Captain and Tenille... they were similar to a cross between late night talk shows and 'The Carol Burnett Show' in format, with a monologue, top 40 songs mimed in music video-like segments, musical guest performers, and comedy sketches. I didn't watch those other shows much, because no one on them looked or dressed like Cher, and the comedy writing was lame.
Cher had her own solo show with the same format around 1975-76, but it didn't have the same 'family appeal', after her divorce with Sonny. They were no longer married for the last season of the show; effectively she 'outgrew him', from a career perspective, years earlier. I think he held her career back, in the late 60's.
The Sonny and Cher Show lasted several seasons, because they were a popular couple, even though Sonny wasn't selling any solo records anymore, by then. Sonny himself only sold about 25 records without her, and most of those were at a lawn sale, and were recorded by someone else.
In hindsight, Cher was likely offended by the on-air 'nose jokes' Sonny used to make, whenever he was losing an arguement, which is probably why she had rhinoplasty shortly after they divorced. During the show's run, she just 'grinned and beared it', and that why the young guys with stones were watching. She had definite 'MILF Appeal' to guys around puberty, even though she was only about 25-30 at the time; Sonny 'took her under his wing' at a very young age, and 'rode her coat tails' for much of her early career. Madonna patterned her career on Cher's, and much later, Lady Gaga decided to be a cross between Madonna and 'Ziggy Stardust era' David Bowie.
She was married to Greg Allman for about ten minutes; they had a kid together, Elijah Blue, mid 70's. This was around the time that Greg was 'persona non grata' in the music industry, because he ratted out some roadie who was distributing drugs, to save his own ass from going to jail.
Greg's brother Duane, dead at 24 in a motorcycle accident in '71, appeared on hundreds if not thousands of recording sessions, unaccredited. He'd just show up at the Muscle Shoals studios when he had nothing better to do, and 'sit in' with whomever was recording there that day. Sometimes he'd just add a few notes or guitar licks here and there, and other times, he'd improvise something that was prominent in the final mix, most notably on Wilson Pickett's version of "Hey Jude".
He's uncredited on those recordings, because the producer would just pay him in drugs, under the table, so "officially" he wasn't there; maybe it was a union thing, or perhaps it was contractual; (he may not have been legally allowed to record for labels to which he was not personally signed), but all parties involved had a handshake agreement to not make legal beefs about it.
Other than in the Allman Bros. Band, Duane was best known for his work with Eric Clapton in "Derek and the Dominoes"; the two of them play lead guitar on the classic rock song "Layla". Guitar aficionados can tell which parts are played by Eric, and which parts are Duane.
One of Cher's best solo singles is her cover of Mark Cohn's "Walking in Memphis'. It was used in an episode of "The X-Files", (the 'black and white' episode, with the 'Frankenstein's monster' kid), but it didn't sell well, perhaps because it had a gawdawful music video, with Cher dressed like an Elvis impersonator.
Another great song that tanked in the charts because the video was so bad: Jennifer Rush's original version of "The Power of Love", around 1985. It was a #1 hit in the UK, but hardly moved any units in North America. Perhaps it was just an unfortunate case of bad timing; Within about an eighteen month stretch, Jennifer Rush, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and Huey Lewis and the News all released hit songs called "The Power of Love", and all three songs were completely different. Without a good video for MTV, most DJs probably just naturally assumed that Jennifer's version, (which she co-wrote), was a cover version of one of the other two. An inferior cover version recorded by Celine Dion was a huge 'Adult Contemporary' hit, many years later, but Jennifer's original version is much better. She was a much bigger star in Europe, and very hot, at the time. The video of that song was some detective story, that had nothing to do with the song itself.
That was the age when shitty songs could be huge hits, if they had a great music video to shill it on MTV. Video had killed the radio star a few years earlier.

@ blackram: I like to read reference books on the toilet. I can chose a random page, and find something of note. Contrary to frequently expressed opinions, I don't 'get my information from Wikipedia'. I use it to 'learn more' about a subject I already know about.
Something most people don't know about Wikipedia: It's not meant to be an online encyclopedia. It's just a repository for fact based information that can be cross referenced with other reputable online sources. Independent research is not accepted for publication, nor are eyewitness accounts. For example: If someone wrote 'I saw Ozzy Osborne bite the head off of a bat at the Fillmore West, January 17, 1970, second set, during "War Pigs", They wouldn't care less, unless there was a youtube video documenting it, with link.
I've had a few additions published, such as an addition to the Filmography of Cynthia 'Cindi' Wood, Playboy Playmate of the Month for February, 1973, and Playmate of the Year for 1973. The wiki page neglected to mention that she also played the role of "Playmate of the Year" in "Apocalype Now". That's her, with the cowboy hat, and six guns. She has a larger role in the "Redux" version. That was confirmed by a cross reference link to imdb.com, and the page was updated.
On another board, a question went unresolved. I thought Mark Hamill had an uncredited cameo in "Star Wars - Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace", at the pod races on Tatoine:
And there was some debate as to whether that was his eldest son Nathan, or Warwick Dunn. I'm not a Star Wars geek, I just notice things like that, and make a screen capture from a digital source. I just notice small details like that, retain them, and look for evidence to confirm that I didn't imagine that.
I write content on boards. 'Small talk' doesn't interest me. I'd rather do that in person, than with people I haven't met 'in the flesh'. I don't require a lot of sleep, so I write stuff when I'm not doing something else. I tend to write for an to a narrow demographic on any board, about subjects that interest me. What people in that demographic have to say interests me. What most other people have to say does not. I can't read and write things simultaneously.

In light of the controversial comment made by Maher, his next episode should be an interesting one, as he's having IceCube as a guest. If anyone can or will make him understand that usage of the "n" word in anyway is wrong, Cube will

Okay, so it looks like we've totally run past topic of this thread, and we're now kicking it in the head.:blush2:
I think if you want to post more random stuff, you should use this preexisting thread:
