Is this place dead, or what?

My needs are simple: A 20 year old blonde knockout who is a cross between a Sunday school teacher and $100 an hour hooker... the winning Powerball numbers...An incredibly large ship that will accommodate thousands of the sanctimonious and politically correct... and a submarine to torpedo that ship when it's reaches the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

My needs include a naval escort force to launch helicopters to depth-charge the submarine and send it to to the bottom where it belongs.

To GluCome on now Mark, no way
I clearly hold title

Well my submarine has stealth technology and your helicopter pilot is so inept that he depth charged the ship with all the bleeding heart liberals on it and I didn't have to use any torpedoes.

I bet that 20 years old is the youngest you thought you could go before people think you're a pervert. It says a lot, a twenty year old is vulnerable, still too young to even buy alcohol where you are, it would be very easy to dominate, coerce, threaten, abuse and terrify such a person.

How does your fantasy start, with you pulling her over for a dodgy tail light? Is that how her nightmare begins?

It means I'm still good looking enough to attract those college girls... why the hell would I want some old crone... the ones you have to settle for. And by the way, she wouldn't need any alcohol...while you may need to get them drunk, I alone would be enough to rock her world... It's great to be me...Must suck to be you!🖕

You really do live in a fantasy world. That's what sexual predators do, it's stops them having to deal with what they are.

Yeah but I get more ass than a toilet seat... Sucks to be you huh?

Maybe if you were to visit American dentist you might be more attractive to the girls.😁

That must be true otherwise why would you feel the need to boast about it online.

You're even sadder than I thought.

When ya got, flaunt it.

That's the end of this entertaining exchange?

Wm, you obviously post to forward togetherness and promote entertainment.

The stuff going on is real.

I remain hopeful that Olivier gets back on all this stuff.

Yeah, I think he's had enough.

Happy new year everyone!

We celebrated it in style: with excellent, excessive food, and then throwing firecrakers from the window at those passing by our street...

Now for the dishes... :-/

I won't comment on individual posters on this thread. As I see it, almost everyone on A2K is trying to annoy everybody else. Passive aggressiveness is frequently used here as a form of flame bait or tease. Some are better than others at it, but many do it so why single out anyone?

Happy New Year! Excessive food sounds good.

A Happy New Year to you too, Jo!

How to put this.. are you folks still living in the place you once described as being noisy on holidays? if so, have you gotten used to it? Nosy of me, but remembering that makes me grin and worry.

I live in the opposite, in a place that is rather weird for me given my earlier detestation of many (not quite all) housing tracts. I'm a city person, mostly, in contrast to suburban. I designed entire tract landscapes back in my heyday; we worked with a major US tract construction company as a key client. Luckily, we had some more-fun projects. Anyway, my little townhouse tract is right up to the Petroglyphs' base, very quiet, except for the once in a while speeders driving on the fast road behind our tract.

My immediate neighbor has a large snowman balloon-like thing that is weighted at the bottom so it doesn't blow away.. but does bounce around. Every year at this time comes the wreath on the door and the snowman balloon.

We're still living in the same place, hence the pure JOY derived from throwing firecrackers at the people strowling down our street at midnight. It's like getting even for once... and it's a Roman tradition. In Rome, do as Romans do.

We're getting used to the noise. It's only bad in weekends. It's also factored in the price we pay for this gorgeous place. This apartment we live in is unique. If we leave it, we will never have again the opportunity to live in such a beautiful place. It'll be hard to settle for a random place after this one.

So we pay the price for this apartment in noise also. The good thing is i'm turning deaf. ;-)

Can't you throw firecrackers at the inflatable snowman to shoot it down?

Fire crackers scare me - has to do with my vision, I think - but I'm fine if I'm not right in the middle of the scene. Once, though, our gallery/studio caught on fire when a ship in the bay set off what were giant fire crackers and hit the building next door to us, at something like 1 a.m. Big scene but we were in our homes and didn't know about it until later. Had to shut down for a few days to fix the roof and get rid of the smell (we had insurance, luckily) and clean our library of landscape books.. grrrrrr. The place next door had to be rebuilt. Luck? I can hardly bear to think even now about what could have been loss of the gallery's paintings shown that month, and our design files. Whew!
Anyway, your roman fire crackers are likely not similar to those on that ship..

I'm what we call "hard of hearing". Sometimes that's a good thing.
