I don't know if this is unusual or not, but I like women who are strong-willed and self-assured. I like them that way not just in conversation, but in their actions, carriage and demeanor. Women who look you right in the eye when they tell you they want to jump your bones (or that they don't want to - ever). If you want to turn me on, look me directly ion the eye while you're talking to me and don't be twiddling your hair, or fidgeting while you speak, or even while you are listening to me reply. Blushing, however, is perfectly acceptable.

I have never run into anything, that once explained in terms I could understand, was beyond my comprehension.
That said, however, I have never had string theory explained to me in terms that I could understand. (If you assay to explain it to me, please bear in mind that although I am a licensed professional engineer, I have never studied either differential or integral calculus, and I am self-taught in trigonometry, spherical and analytical geometry. That means that although I understand them, and can solve problems using them, I probably lack what my professors would have called profound knowledge of them.)

(Puts down his coffe cup and the evening paper he was reading, and takes off his glasses) HEY! WAIT A MINUTE!!!
(shor pause, while he scratches his head)
Is this some sort of April Fool's joke or something? I mean, really. Com'on now.
(Scratches his head again, and gathers his brow in a perplexed frown)
I don't understand. Why on God's earth would I want to ban someone I LIKED?

For facial hair I use either an electric razor (Norelco triple head) or Crabtree and Evelyn sandlewood shaving soap and a Bic Soliel razor. (I used to use a Gillette adjustable razor, until one day I was out of blades, and borrowed my wife's - I haven't gone back to Wilkenson double-edged blades since)
Other parts get a trim with scissors and CAREFUL shaving with the Soliel.
When I dress in drag, particularly if I'm slutty, like for playing Cabaret, I just use the Soliel all over. But toes, ankles, knees and hands are really hard to do, so I sometimes use cream depilatories on them.

WHen my mother died in 2011, she had a pre-arranged agreement to donate her body to an organ bank. They handled that end of it, and left us with the cremated remains, for which we had to pay $25.00. The attorney's fees and county filing fees ran about another $1500. We quietly interred the remains in the same grave with dad. That cost$75.00. Having the back side of his stone cut with her name, birth and death dates was $500.00. So all told, we did the entire thing for about $2000.00, but I supect that is highly unusual.

To which version of The Producers are you referring? The 1968 (and definitive) version was an original film and not based on previous works. Mel Brooks even won the best original screenplay Oscar for his script. The Broadway musical was based upon that film, with the 2005 film based upon the Broadway musical.
At times, showbiz can be far too incestuous!
I was referring to the version starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, which is I believe, the film remake of the Broadway version of the Mel Brooks original film.

In no particular order:
The MUsic Box -1931 - Stanley Laurel and Oliver Hardy
Arsenic and Old Lace
Monty Python & The Holy Grail
Romance With A Double Bass
A Fish Called Wanda
Blazing Saddles
M.A.S.H.
Putney Swope
The Producers
The Lavender Hill Mob
Edit:
Since The Producers is really a movie remake of a Broadway musical, here's another of my favorites: School For Scoundrels -1960 version, wih Terry Thomas (and no, that is NOT a typo - School For Scandal was second rate schlock)

I'm with the person above who wants to, I believe the term in her time would have been "roger", Queen Elizabeth I. But I too, should like to have a way to avoid the Tower.
Other historical figures who I think would be nothing short of incredible are Simone de Beauvoir, and Anias Nin.
I'm partial to strong-willed women who know what they want, and who aren't afraid to express themselves.

We had a similiar discussion among my fellow pit musicians today. As is often the case when a bunch of musicians join, who have not worked together before, we were discussing our "day" jobs. I am a licensed professional civil engineer. One of the others is a rocket scientist (she works for NASA, and was a project manager for the Hubble launch). Another is a neurosurgeon who works for National Institute of Health. A fourth member is a mathemetician at Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, and two others are attorneys. Yet we all are, (a) being paid, and (b) pretty darned good at playing the parts placed before us. So far as I know, I am the only one who was a musician in the US military service. So the question was, are we musicians? What constitutes a musician? We decided it is not level of achievement, nor is it being paid to perform, though those two things surely enter into it. ("Being paid for a service is prima facie evidence that one is a provider of that service," said one of the attorneys.)
But our conclusion was, it is our serious attitude toward the music and toward performance that made us musicians. I would respectfully suggest the same is true of writing, or for that matter, any other creative art form.
EDIT:
I like what someone here said about a writer being someone who couldn't NOT write. Under that criterion I am definitely a musician, but, although I have quite a few written pieces on here and on the sister "blue" site, I am not a writer. If I had to stop writing tomorrow, I would miss it, but it would not be the end of my world.
If I had to stop playing music ... Well, when that day comes, I hope to die immediatly. With any luck at all, I will play a performance (or a rehearsal) go home and to bed, and have a stroke and die in my sleep that night.

I'm more interested in the origin of the expression. I can hardly see some camouflaged soldier knife in hand and creeping towards some German radar installation during the 1940's being without his ''drawers cellulose soldiers for the use of.''
The first time I recall hearing it was in the late 60's. Friends of mine who returned from 'Nam used the phrase. They told me that in the jungle, even boxers tended to lead to excessive perspiration,which in turn led to "crotch rot", a popular term for epidural fungal infection. My father told me they discarded their underwear in the Solomons when he was there during WW II, but didn't, so far as he knew, invent a term to describe it. (Incidentally, he came home with a case of both jungle rot and ringworm, that he didn't fully recover from for several years. I can recall him putting ointment on his ringworm when I was in second grade. That would have been six years after his return from the Pacific Theater.)

What about the great standard, Strunk & White's "Elements of Style"?
Strunk and White is my"go to" book when I am unsure about punctuation. (which is not often, unless I am doing technical writing and have to reference my work)
Another reference I find useful, and interesting bedtime reading, is The Dictionary Of American Slang by Robert Chapman.

I believe that, in Bartleby, Melville is far ahead of his time; it is an existential story, and reminds one of the writings of Sartre, de Beauvoir, and others of that phlosophic bent.
But, because it is existential, I think it DOES have a ending. In the story, Melville establishes his premise that life is pointless. Bartleby's death confirms that premise.

I just re-read She Has A What? and felt the need to vent about inconsistencies. In the advertisement the statement is "Unfurnished". But there is a TV and couch in the living room;and a desk, a chair and a queen-sized bed in the bed room which is to be his. That made me stop reading and go back up to the top of the story, to see if I had mis-read the ad. So much for being able to engross myself in the story. From that point onward, my radar was on, searching for other inconsistencies. But overall, I thought it was a good story, and fun.
I had a little fun with a similar subject when I wrote Charlie-Charlene. I will say this. I thought linking Roger Williams' courage of his convictions was a masterful touch. (Having descended from a bunch of Massachusetts and Connecticut Calvinists I have a more than passing interest in New England history, and am of course, very familiar with Roger Williams' banishment.) As I read that, I wished I had thought of it when I was writing my Futa story. But I was too busy trying to keep it light and humorous while still trying to maintain the love concept, so, although I did all right at describing the love between the three of them, I neglected the philosophic implications.

Quote by LiquidMatthew
Just wanted to point out that "whom" is incorrect here. "Who" is used for the nominative case, that is, the subject of a clause or sentence, which it is here, since it's the girls who don't like the activity. "Whom" is used for all other cases, such as direct and indirect objects, and when after a preposition. For example, if the title were, "Do you offer a spit bucket for girls whom your irrumate?" then "whom" would be correct, because it's the direct object there. "Whose," of course, is genitive and uses for possession, but people very rarely get that one wrong.
Remember: "whom" is not just a classier "who!"
^this^
One would think, Lush Stories being a reader's and writer's site, grammar would be correct throughout the site.

The shifts in spelling and/or meaning are just proof that Englsh, unlike Latin for example, is a "living language". I did notice, though, the spellcheck warning thingamajiggy didn't like contractions. It clipped every contraction at the apostrophe, and told me I had spelling errors such as "wern", "wasn" and "aren". It wasn't (see what I did there?)
a big deal, though; I merely looked at them, figured out what the checker was getting all weirded out about, and hit "continue".

I usually use either asterisks or full stops. And, unlike some people on here who shall remain nameless, but whose initials are AbigailThornton, I ALWAYS check to make certain I used the same number each time.
(You realize I just couldn't resist that, Ms T. Well, that's not strictly true; I COULD have resisted, but I chose not to.)
