The above was for educational purposes only. Now that I've got your attention, we will now proceed to an examination of feminine sensuality as depicted by the German artist Franz von Stuck:

It's amazing what she could project... WHAMO!

More Betty Page The Real Thing, and definitely not for Metrosexuals...

no cheesecake like old cheesecake: it never gets stale. Betty Page, often imitated, never equalled...

and a star is born: johnnyboyzumba!

like a breath of...well, fresh air!

Ken, a wise man once said: "Remember it's not whether you win or lose, but how you place the blame!" No blame. And at least we've managed to put everyone to sleep... "Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like bananas." --Groucho Marx (1890-1977) No flies on us. By the way, the question (and answer) is an old Groucho Marx routine back in the days when he was hosting his own quiz show.

+ Mrs. Grant.

Q: Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?

I hears ya, Dutchy. Closure, I guess...

I see the point you're trying to make, Dutchy, and I agree - except that i have the impression that Gran has explained the situation about 38 times now. Aside from answering questions as to his choice of user-name, what he had for lunch this afternoon or his whereabouts on June 5th, 2005, I really don't see the point of dragging this out much further. If there are some members who are not happy with the situation, well, that's life. Eddie Lee is definitely not sending me his newest Breguet as a gift either, but I think I can get over it. Maybe it's time to get on with being the great group of people we really are and let bygones be bygones....

it would be nice if we all could turn this thread around and end it once and for all on a positive note - both for ourselves and for our friend Gran...

Are you giving them away for free, Andrew? In that case, I'll take one of each, please. Same goes for EL.

Beginning to grow on you, DT? I AM you. Now come to your senses or else I'll become Ken and ban me..er..you from posting such nonsense.

Laugh if you want, but it's a real chick magnet

Baghdad Bob sends you a big wet kiss, R11co: "R11co definitely has the best rep watch I've ever seen; there is no rep watch on this board better than his!"

I am really Pugwash, Edge, Dani and Gran! I would also like to be Nanuq, but I can't stand the cold. I am also an untold many other members, but the time has not yet arrived to reveal this. Anyway, be careful what you say around here, 'cause you're usually saying it to me...

noob :-)

It's good to see you back, Gran!

Lovely pieces, especially the IWC 6498 But I can't seem to find the prices Am I looking in the wrong sub-forum?

Wowsers! Sounds like a cross between M.A.D. and The Lord of the Rings: WHOOOOO! The Dark Riders from RWG1 are coming! Hide your watches and women! (in that order) The Enforcer has absconded, leaving a Corrupted Waste Ground! The Key! The Key! My Precioussssss..... WOOOOOOOOOOOO! You should write books, r11co.

I was told that there is something odd about this auction. I was told to beware of people insisting on WU, certified check or bank transfer payments. I was told that the strap looks 'artfully' aged. I was told that the seller's other auctions involved more or less worthless bric-a-brac. I was told that the seller seems in no way a watch specialist. I was told that the line "I would like everyone in the world a chance to win this watch in this auction" sounds surprisingly like a paraphrase of the pimp's monologue in Martin Scorcese's 'Taxi Driver.' Finally, I was told that the passive form 'I was told' is a watered-down, wimped-out way of saying, 'Somebody told me.' The 'somebody' could be JetMid or the seller's dog... It's also a handy phrase in the event that the watch turns out to be other than genuine, as in, 'Well, I was told that it was a genuine item!' Want to know more? Sorry. As the seller says, 'I have no other information on this.' Good luck bidding! edit/update: if someone had the time and patience, it would be interesting to try and get the seller to agree to open the back to see (i.e., photograph) what's really in there. Given the price and lack of any objective info 'I was told' that any reputable seller would agree to do this. As a matter of fact, does anyone know how to ask the seller this type of question and have it appear on the bottom of the page (rather than having it sent directly as a PM or an email?)

For a guy whose dog looks like he believes in Santa Claus, that makes perfect sense, Realloth.
