cunningham flies again
503 Answers
(This is a rerun of a question I asked a while back in the main category. Didn't get any replies there - could it be that the real buffs dwell in subcategories only? Sorry to be such a pain in the proverbial but I really want that poster - if indeed it exists.)
I used to own a black-and-white photo postcard from a Martha Graham production where dancer Merce Cunningham comes flying through the air in one giant leap. A woman (Graham?) sits at her desk in a jaded pose studying his flight toward her as if she were assessing his flying techniques rather than anticipating his company. Cunningham's body is cram full with energy, he's like a spring just released; looking at the picture you feel he must surely bounce once he lands.
I'd love to have this photo on my wall as a poster but haven't been able to find it. I'm good at advanced googling but search engines do provide different results in different countries - so if you're in the mood for some googling and you don't live in Sweden...

bonsoir...ooh, deep joyload, a new gizmo for 'enhancing' your lovely pics - I'll look into that when I've been upgraded. If they're all whooshed away in the change over I'll insist you send them all again, so don't think you'll be off the hook.
oh crikey, I hope I don't have to come back with an alias...I won't be a sweti or a muggy, that's for sure....more like nippyninia
I see the results of the RSPB birdcount are in....
mmm, says that numbers of sh1tehawks in Biddyfordshire have vastly increased thanks to the generous yokels....oops sorry, locals, feeding them on <gasp>scones sent from Derby!....charmin', that's the last lot he gets...he likes his toast burnt, so I presumed....
Hope you've had a lovely day B00....I haven't got a single slice of cake in my house.... :o(

Evening all ..I see we are wrestling now instead of dancing ..I remember it well ..Kent Walton.."Greetings grapple fans "
My dad used practically wrestle with the armchair and the air used to be blue !
Do not panico Neti I doubt any one will lunge at you ,they just check for nodules and goitres and such like and chat about your symptoms and general health ..Hopefully they will give you some medication now they know your levels to calm it down for you .Hope it all goes well..please report back to me .
I can't be doing with Gizmos ..I've got freezing pages as it is and any Gizmos would probably make the whole caboodle grind to a halt
.Nice to see you Boo ..I hope you've enjoyed your birthday today ..... Where's that cheesecake gone out of my fridge .............

Morning. I've had a doctor jump up and grab me too, Neti - it's shocking! In my case it was a gynaecologist. We were both getting into position as it were - which of course includes me being half naked and about to do the straddle split - when she suddenly leeeeaaaaps at my arm and grabs it and holds it with a clawhand so I thought and stares hard at me saying what's this - it was just an ordinary bruise goddammit! And hardly what I was there for!
The other day when Robinia was turning us into apes (me pre-haircut and all of us more fuzzy than B00) I remembered seeing a documentary about the Planet Of The Ape-films where one of the actors was speaking about how our usual way of establishing social hierarchies was apparent even when the actors were in costume and having their lunch: Chimpanzees sat with chimpanzees, orangutans stuck with their fellow orangutans, and so on. It made a great impression on me, I thought it was sad and interesting both. But many years later I heard another actor from the same set talk about the same phenomenon from a totally different angle:
He said the costumes - faces and lips in particular - were so inflexible that it was really very difficult to eat, and actors tended to prefer lunching with their own kind so that they could use each other as visual feedback on how to handle the food. So much for sociology...
My computer hasn't got what it takes to open your take your pick-file Vinny but I think I've got a rough idea of the game...?

I can't believe some of the stuff I've kept on this puta..... I've found a strategy game here

Mine's got the mad cow disease, Robi. Did you see this, stick woman (someone posted it in CB.)
Eeuuggh - thanks Kit

Evening. I've just been watching The Gathering Storm on the telly, a BBC drama from 2002 with Albert Finney as Winston Churchill, perhaps y'all remember it. Clemmie threw her dinner plate at him and stormed out of the room, and as the maid arrived he pointed her in the direction of the mess on the floor, saying "The sprouts misbehaved" - ha ha, I thought about you, Vinny. Good riddance to that lotto ticket, you'll always have your lucky number to fall back on ;-) What a particularly nice Beatles clip, by the way.
Have you ever tried constructing a crossword, Shaney? That should keep you busy! And have you looked for online crosswords, I think there are lots of them about.
Well jno disappeared again quickly enough! Jno! We want photos!
moo I was looking for The Tyger by William Blake, and found that. Awesome.

That's a brilliant drama Kit I've seen it a couple of times .Albert Finney is great in it . Have you read the books on Churchill by Michael Dobbs ..You might like them . You had a curry Vinny ? I think I'll stay downwind ...mind you the child cooked himself a chilli here this evening and put a whole jar of Jalapeno peppers in it and lots of mixed beans and stuff . It was that hot you could sit round it and keep warm . Needless to say I didn't have any. I can't eat a lot of spicy food .I am sitting well away from him !
I couldn't construct a crossword to save my life Kit !
I only do The Spectator from on line ones ,the rest are all from the papers and a book I subscribe to . I like cryptic ones best ..A girl can never have too many crosswords you know !
Well .....there's bgr all on tele !

As we are in a dance thread, see if you can make this girl turn around
I did have a Churchill biography Shaney but lost it when I was evacuated a couple of years ago; don't remember if it was by Dobbs - how many are there by him? If I read only one (mustn't strain the old eyes) which one should I choose? / I'm disappointed, I thought there was always some great drama on the telly in the UK...
Blimey Shaney..you must be well Ed-je-cay-dddd ed.....
