Too much Butterscotch Schnapps Oldfart?? :D :D ;)

[Master1012]

Too much time
Too horny
Let's do it
To help kill time...

[Oldfart]

Diva, there is no such thing as too much butterscotch Schnapps.

Like love and the sensation of a woman coming because of me,

nothing exceeds like excess.

A view to a kill.

Time

Never thought I'd ever be so lonely,
After such a long long time,
Time out of mind,
We made mad love, shadow love,
Random love, and abandoned love,
Accidentally Like a Martyr,
The hurt gets worse, & the heart gets harder

- Warren Zevon

[vampeyes]

love

Calling all dreamers
Every broken heart fool
Doing what I can but love is cruel
The highest mountains ain't high enough
I won't give up gonna take you
Prisoner of love
-Prisoner of Love ~ Foreigner

[Oldfart]

What a mountain man really enjoys is..

[Glyndwr]

WHAT

What smouldering senses in death's sick delay
Or seizure of malign vicissitude
Can rob this body of honour, or denude
This soul of wedding-raiment worn to-day?
For lo! even now my lady's lips did play
With these my lips such consonant interlude
As laurelled Orpheus longed for when he wooed
The half-drawn hungering face with that last lay.
I was a child beneath her touch, - a man
When breast to breast we clung, even I and she, -
A spirit when her spirit looked through me, -
A god when all our life-breath met to fan
Our life-blood, till love's emulous ardours ran,
Fire within fire, desire in deity.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti : The Kiss

Edwin McCain

[scotzoidman]

suicide

By day we sweated out on the streets of the runaway American Dream,
By night we rode thru mansions together in suicide machines,
Sprung from cages out on Hwy 9, chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and stepping out over the line,
Oh, baby, this town rips the bones from your back, it's a death trap, it's a suicide rap, we gotta get out while we're young,
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run

When you wish upon a star,

Anything your heart desires,

No request is too extreme,

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
It seems the natural thing to do
Tonight no one's gonna find us
We'll leave the world behind us

And hope that deep inside you'll feel it too
Tonight our spirits will be climbing
To a sky filled up with diamonds
When I make love to you, tonight

Oldfart---I just thought that you would like to know this little
"tidbit"of information.One of my son-in-laws is not prejudiced against hardly anything.For some reason;the only thing;that I know that he is prejudiced against is gays.I'm not sure about his
feelings about females(lesbian)but I'm sure about males(gay)He
was surfing the net;one day;and being a lover of anything to do
with the outdoors(hunting,fishing,camping,hiking,etc.);he came
accross a group called the mountain men.I know;that in my area;
there is a motorcycle gang called the Mountain Men or Mounted
Men;but this turned out to be a gay group.Needless to say;he was enormously embarrased and of course my other son-in-law
and I continually"break his balls";about it.Thought that I would let
you know;because earlier in this thread;you mentioned mountain
men! Irish
P.S.Before he found out;he started corresponding with them!

[Glyndwr]

gay

To him again. Tell him he wears the rose
Of youth upon him, from which the world should note
Something particular; his coin, ships, legions,
May be a coward’s, whose ministers would prevail
Under the service of a child as soon
As i’ the command of Cæsar: I dare him therefore
To lay his gay comparisons apart,
And answer me declin’d, sword against sword,
Ourselves alone.

Q: does the quote have to come from a well klnown author or can it be one of your own? :)

[Aqua]

Well the originator of this thread doesn't come here anymore, but I think her intent is for this to be quotes from authors, playwrights, songwriters, and such... although I think there may have been the occasional self quote thrown in once in a while. :D

subsided (s)

Her hardest hue to hold
Her early leaf's a flower
But only so an hour
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay

Each night I ask the stars up above..
Why must I be a teenager in love...
