No Peter, its the one where George Peppard crashes his WWI prototype, monoplane, fighter onto a railroad flat car and is shot at by Eli Wallach until the train derails and he's rescued at the last minute by Mr.T and then left for dead in a burned out forest where he watches Audrey Hepburn give Richard Dreyfuss a haircut.

How could you tell George Peppard left for dead from George Peppard left for alive?

Did he "get some"-thing more when she gave him the haircut? Y'know, like in the Song Challenge!? Watch Mr.Holland get his organ played...

I haven't been of dating age for forty years, and I was sort of long in the tooth for it then (33 years old at the time), so I can only say that I know it has experience a sea change since my misspent youth.

Back in those dear, dead days beyond recall young ladies (yes, they still used that term) were supposed to be passive, or at least to seem so. I'm reminded of an advice-to-young-ladies song I wrote about forty-five years ago, which went (to a sort of calypso beat) like this:

Come all you young ladies and listen
And gain some instruction from me.
Be modest, demure and retiring
And chase not the bachelor so free!

Oh, do not act bold, free, and brazen;
Be modest, retiring, and shy.
Men flee from the woman who chases
And the brazen young lady pass by!

[instrumental or whistling break]

But the modest girl catches a husband
As doubtless you have been aware
For the modest girl does not chase bachelors
As the beartrap does not chase the bear!

Some few of you have heard me sing this on HearMe.

Mrrzy,

I spose I rate being a foreigner and I dated an Amercian Lady for 8 months or so after my divorce, it was fab. The main downer was the 8000 mile round trip to see each other. Apart from the obvious physical stuff I was introduced to a lot of activities I had not tried before so it was a great time in more ways than one. For those with a depraved mind (spaw) the other activiteis included Skiing, both water and snow, baseball and more music than I could shake a hairy stick at.

Since the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta has said that people who meet partners on the Internet are more at risk from sexually transmitted diseases the NYCFTTS has decided to discontinue the free trial of its introduction agency and must ask Cap'n K to return the two ex-cheerleaders unused.

Mrrzy, I've been a foreigner all my life in one way or another. I have always felt as if I were on the outside looking in; that there were things about the dating rituals that only a privileged few were allowed to know. But after years of experimentation I finally came to understand that the women I dated didn't know the rules either. In general you make them up as you go along.

The safe way to play is to ask your date about the rules - especially if you think you might be about to break one. "How do you feel about having someone open doors for you?" "Would you prefer to pay your own way or should we decide who is 'treating' who on a per-event basis?" "Would it bother you if I were to pop my pimples at the dinner table?" Questions like these can open doors to much broader discussions. They also let your date know that you are making an effort to be considerate of their preferences.

I made you a list you can choose from
To let me know what you want from me
All you have to do is to choose one
It's as simple as ABC:

I could be:
A)Lover
B)True
C)No one else but you
And if those choices aren't enough
I could be:
D)evoted
E)ternally to your love

Or how about all of the above?

Any choice you make is the right one
But if indecision has got you stressed
I think I would go for the last one
'Cause that one covers your bases best

I could be:
A)Lover
B)True
C)No one else but you

And if those choices aren't enough
I could be:
D)evoted
E)ternally to your love

Or how about all of the above?

This is the one time
No matter how you choose
Darling, you can't lose

I am reminded of an alphabet song:

A you're adorable, B you're so beautiful, C you're a cutie full of charm
D you're a darling and E you're exciting and F you're a feather in my arms.
G you look good to me, H you're so heavenly, I you're the one I idolize
J we're like Jack and Jill, K you're so kiss-abil, L is the lovelight in your eyes.
M, N, O, P, I could go on all day, Q R S T alphabetically speaking, you're OK
And U make my life complete, V you're so very sweet, W X Y Z
It's fun to wander through the alphabet with you, to tell you what you mean to me!
(repeat)
(then there is something that ends) I M N love with U!

Kendall......We need to talk. Skiff asked that the Cheerleaders be returned unused and you indicated that you had already used them. Well, I fear we'll have to charge you as they returned to the Center today in a completely used-up and now unusable condition!

WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM???

I mean, upon inspection, they appear to be physically fine and in pristine condition......well, at least as pristine as an ex-cheerleader can be..........but their mental state is serious. BOTH are completely catatonic!!! My gawd Kendall, you can hardly tell them from Nancy Reagan! One of the attending staff got the only reactions we have seen out of them when he mentioned that perhaps we should bring you out to the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed to aid in their treatment. Both jumped up and ran screaming into the kitchen facilities and plunged their heads into an oven. It took our food service workers over an hour to free them! After that, both returned to the catatonic state and are now beginning long treatment in our west wing which houses the James Taylor Rehab Clinic for the Catatonically Bland.

You will be billed and I hope that in the future you will take the necessary precautions to stop the spread of OAB---Orally Administered Boredom.

Doug,
Please confine those messages to the Breast Thread. Now look at what you've done. Mrrzy was looking for advice on dating and you've ended up with all the dates. That makes you the ultimate Thread Creep! The least you can do to make up for this is to offer to take her out for dinner. (You owe me one, Mrrzy).
