Let me just think about that for a minute .....
Well for a start, I teach young males, too. And I'm pretty certain they have fantasies.
"Judiciously spent."....you amaze me, Francis.
Incidentally, fantasy is more like myths or fairy tales. I prefer, and always have preferred, imagination.
I looked at the Golden Globe awards briefly, because I had hoped that Joaquin Phoenix would win something. When Brokeback Mountain swept the show, I finally realized what suppressed or repressed values Americans have had, and how that trend can be harmful or helpful, whichever applies given the setting event.
If most women were truthful, I think we would all agree that what we want most is strength from the male animal, then other things fall into line.
The puritan ethic almost destroyed truth. Pity, that!
Oh, alright, got ahead and get a pink "Scratch and Sniff" tee shirt, but the costume will always be incomplete without a pair of cateye glasses.
Well, Roger just defused a deep and serious discussion. Love it!

If anyone's fantasies are being displayed, it is not, I think, those of the boys in the girls' actual milieu, it is those of the fashion/pop/ etc folk who somehow decree what is cool this week.
How THEY get their ideas one has no idea....
But they certainly, I think, end up being part of the girls' fantasies about their presentation.
"milieu" neat word, is it french?
You're cruisyn' for a bruisyn?
well, I have heard "covey of quail" as well as "gaggle of geese" but never heard "milieu of girls"
Milieu in most contexts in English means a medium or atmosphere, which is how it was used by the Cunning Coney. It can be used in the same way in French, but usually just means the middle, or the average. That's the origin of its use in English--in the middle of something.
Very few things happen in Albuquerque....
Well, Francis. Dys refers to it as albaturkey, so you're probably right.
Setanta, milieu, I thought, was the equivalent of bailiwick. I never knew it literally meant in the middle, but I can see the implications.
Ok, Msolga. We can go back to shakin' it now. <smile>
Sounds like someone there learned sumthin' today, though.
A bailiwick refers to the wickerwork gate in the entrance tower to a castle, which was known as the bailey. The keeper of the gate in the entrance tower was the bailiff, and he was the only one allowed to open the wicker gate--the bailiwick. Therefore, trying to get someone else to open the gate would get a response to the effect of: "Oh no, i ain'ta gonna open it, that's Thomas Bailey's bailiwick, and i ain'ta gonna touch it ! ! !"

He told me Albaturkey belongs to him...
His phrase was " Albaturkey is a state of mine"...
I'd give him a "c" or even a "b" . . . it was mildly funny . . .
