Svenska's a poet.

I suck on the memory of my friend mistaking my dad for a Turk, as if the memory had been a piece of candy.

Flicka, that is a wonderful literary image. If I weren't your pal I'd steal it, but I'm telling you here so no one else does. You must fit it into a story (not necessarily about your dad, but use the basic simile.)

Thanks, P. It's based on a Swedish metaphor. "To suck on something" means to remember something or think about something, mostly as a means of enjoying a nice thought, but sometimes as a way of considering a new, not overly pleasant fact.

You MAY steal it if you want. You have my permission.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Ooooooh, I shouldn't have used that kissy-smiley! I'm still sick. I hope it's not contagious!

 

[Guest]

Flicka, thank you, how generous. If I get sick I'll let you know big time though.

I recall yet another fave line about a Sh're character, Jacques in "As You Like It". Actually, Gauche calls him to mind often for me (that is not meant offensively in the least, I appreciate the character.).

He says of himself, "I can suck melancholy out of a song, as a weasel sucks eggs."

Re: Re: Re: Welsh heredity

It took a couple of hours and the whole family had to be present because except for the last name(s) the children and grandchildren shared all of it.

You can imagine that the extended family reciting in from memory with a resounding Welsh lilt was an impressive exercise.

Tommy Thrice wasn't unusual. In rural Wales that sort of ritual was common until the 1950s - for every family. It was an affirmation of the family identity and their Welshness.

Any English or Scots settling in Wales would never become Welsh. They didn't have the right ancestry. However if there was a Welsh ancestor somewhere in your past then you could become accepted once the precise position of your relationship had been worked out. That would give you a new Welsh name that sounded odd e.g.

Brian ap Michael ap James ap William who married Bronwen the second daughter of Thomas the miller of Llanfair ap ...

Weird, the Welsh.

Og (who could be part of the Welsh Olympic team because he was born in Wales but could never be Welsh because he hasn't any Welsh ancestors)

A truly impressive thing. It also goes a long way to explain why the Welsh are so possessive of their nationality, and often shun outsiders setting up home in their midst. I never got why, until now. Thanks for sharing that, Og.

My boyfriends mom recently got interested in her heritage. Her roots come from Switzerland. She traced back her family and found out that her great-grandfather had had a brother who fell out of touch. For some reason or another he split when the family reached America. My boyfriends mom started looking for him, and found him actually only a couple hours away from where she lives. So, she got to go meet this guy.

My boyfriend's a Brazilian-born-American-mutt with Swiss roots??

Wicked > my grandmother claims Heinz as her ancestry, too!

As for the other components, I've got English, German, and Prussian.

Isn't Heinz a German name?

 

[ffreak]

Hmm... wonder what Hitchcock means - it's English. Normally people got their surname based on where they were from or what they did to make a living. Somehow this conjures up a bondage picture in my mind.

sorry - never know what is going to escape from my mind.

I just meant Heinz sounds like a German name. Like Ernst Von Heinz, Adolf Heinz, Otto Heinz, Fritz Heinz or maybe Wolf Heinrich Graf Von Heinz. No?

"...you just fuck ONE measly sheep..."

 

[ffreak]

Now see, that's what I was wondering about. Somewhere in the past some poor guy got an eyeful just as he was tightening his horse's saddle. The next time he probably tried it with clothing on.

We even have a street named after our family down in Brazil.

Is it paved?

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Suppose so. Never been there myself.

 

[oggbashan]

There is a town in Canada, a street in London and a now closed school in the UK's Midlands named after my RL family name (and a medical condition which I haven't got yet I think because it can only be diagnosed posthumously).

A hitch is a kind of stitch, dread to think where the cock came into it.

[oggbashan]

A hitch is a knot and as a verb can be used to mean to tie that knot "hitching post" or "to haul up" e.g. hitch up your trousers.

So perhaps Hitchcock means that the person cannot achieve an erection without artificial aids. Viagra should be prescribed.

Perhaps he had a rooster fetish, and enjoyed practising bandage on it?

practising bandage

Love it! A new fetish. People being sexually aroused by the use of bandages. Hmm... so do the subs have a bandaid over their mouths? Gauze around their wrists?

Maybe the Egyptians were a little more adventurous than we thought before.

I always hear things out of context. It's so much more fun.

I think that duct tape and saran wrap are more usual although I have seen a pic with a bandaid-ed pussy. Mummification is a mainstream fetish.

Ha ha! One little typo and look what happens?

I didn't even realise I'd typed 'bandage' until I checked back. I read your post and thought: WTF is he going on about?

I always thought The Mummy was a horror flick. Who would have guessed it was really a bandage flick!

And, The Invisible Man must have been one, too. But, what a let down. After the bandages come off, you can't see the prize.

But, I bet you could still feel it!

 

[ffreak]

Too much fun!

Gives a whole new meaning to "Mummy, dear".

 

[gauchecritic]

There is a fetish for mummification.

Can't see how having your insides removed and your brains plucked through your nose then being literally filled with various liquids can be at all arousing but then I'm not sold on being beaten about the thighs with a kipper either.

Both situations do have their own distinctive smell, don't they.
