  1. I enjoy watching some of these shows on YouTube.
  2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocative_case I think the most famous example of the use of the Vocative Case is the expression "Et tu Brute". +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Modern English lacks a formal (morphological) vocative case. English commonly uses the nominative case for vocative expressions but sets them off from the rest of the sentences with pauses as interjections, rendered in writing as commas. Two common examples of vocative expressions in English are the phrases "Mr. President" and "Madam Chairwoman". Some traditional texts use Jesu, the Latin vocative form of Jesus. One of the best-known examples is Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. Look up O#Particle in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Historically, and in poetic or rhetorical speech, vocative phrases in English were prefaced by the word O, as is often seen in the King James Version of the Bible: "O ye of little faith" (in Matthew 8:26). Another example is the recurrent use of the phrase "O (my) Best Beloved" by Rudyard Kipling in his Just So Stories. The use of O may be considered a form of clitic and should not be confused with the interjection Oh (The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, section 5.197). However, as the Oxford English Dictionary points out, "O" and "Oh" were originally used interchangeably. With the advent of "Oh" as a written interjection, however, "O" is the preferred modern spelling in vocative phrases.[citation needed] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Interesting about the "O". I had not made the connection before. I like it!
  3. But yet they will stick their tongues inside an ass.
  4. By now I think that he must be aware of it. I wonder why the models or the film crew don't do something about it? It's not every pairing but its absence (lack of tongue) make it noticeable. The models are put through training.

    Sirtaki

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirtaki I was reading about a gay club and the shows they put on. One was sirtaki. I was unfamiliar with the word but now that I looked it up I knew what it was.
  6. http://www.gayporntimes.com/hardnews/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Bel-Ami-Sebastian-Zaho-Ben-Benett-kiss.jpg I'm a big Belami fan but they usually do a poor job of kissing. No tongue. That picture is what I call a "gay porn kiss". One model only puts his lips around the other model's bottom lip.
  7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrote I was watching the current episode of the detective drama "Take Two". A person was murdered, strangled. One detective said by a garrote and the Medical Examiner said that it was first used by the Romans in the first century B.C.. The Wiki article confirms that. So often however I see tv shows where they make the simplest errors which just a little research could have corrected!
  8. There used to be an escort service in Philadelphia. They had visiting escorts. One was so popular that the other escorts hired him.
  9. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borobudur It was in an episode of "The Amazing Race". I was so impressed I bought a book on it. Here in the West I would like to see something akin to it but based upon Dante's Mountain of Purgatory.
  10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angkor_Wat I seem to remember one regime used three towers on their flag and another five towers. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Found it! https://www.crwflags.com/FOTW/FLAGS/kh_hstry.html#civilwar
  11. Though not on the list I would have liked the Roman Pantheon and the Palace of Versailles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon,_Rome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Versailles
  12. My mother was cremated and her urn was placed in the same plot as her father out of state. She was 15 when he died. My father remarried. My step-mother bought three burial plots side-by-side. She is to be buried in the middle. My father who was cremated is buried on one side. And her first husband - they were divorced - he is buried in the plot on the other side. My father said that he didn't care as he would be dead and I had no say. My paternal grandfather was cremated and his urn was placed in the same plot as his father. This is in another cemetery.
  13. Lesbians do nothing for me.
  14. That is the typical threesome. Three close together in the same year. The example I gave I heard mentioned on the radio.
  15. All died on that date but in different years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babe_Ruth 1948 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Presley 1977 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aretha_Franklin 2018
  16. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fajita The fajitas are a recent creation only dating back to the early 70s http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodmexican.html#fajitas
  17. Thanks! I was looking at the wrong page in the "TV Guide". There still is time then!
  18. https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-fajita-day-august-18/ Sorry I'm a day late; I just heard about it on the radio. Weekends they play alot of canned stuff.
  19. http://www.dinerlingo.com/quiz/ I wonder if in this day and age these expressions are actually used any more? I got 12 right out of 20.
  20. Wikipedia is my friend!
  21. When some hear "Dorothy" today they might think of "The Golden Girls".
  22. I get it!
