Well- some (need to) see them as straight.
For straight married cowboys they sure ride real well.

Hi Toggle
You liked my use of the term "ratbags"
Ratbag is an old Australian expression, the Macquarie Australian Dictonary defines it as "Colloquial, 1. a rascal, a rogue. 2. someone of eccentric or nonconforming ideas or behaviour."
It is a pretty gentle term, often used when expressing a mixture of disapproval and affection for a person. Sort of a "lovable rogue."

Sorry, frigilux! I didn't mean to spoil it for you.
Well, since you know the ending, why don't you go see the revival of Citizen Kane instead? One of the best movies ever made, bar none, and Rosebud is the sled.
(Oh, pooh pooh. Or poohpah. I'm already going to hell, so I might as well have some fun.)

*Vacuum Cleaner*
Steve,
Do us vacuum cleaner folk really have to take it to our own back yard? Robert invited us to use this site as a temporary hotel until we could have him develop a new and improved site for us.
So many of us not only like vacuums but all kinds of appliances--do we have to be ostracized here too? Talk about having a complex from "fear of abandonment". Can't we please stay if we play nicely?

Well you all do have display the nicest hoses, and crevice tools.

I, for one, welcome the vacuum folk with open arms! While I'm not a vac enthusiast or collector, I really enjoy learning more about them and seeing all the photos.
Yesterday on the radio I heard a fun discussion of Brokeback Mountain. It was pretty tongue-in-cheek and was suggesting that the fact that the "cowboys" weren't herding cows at all but sheep had some deeper significance - that it would have been too controversial to have had two 'real' cowboys in love.
This link gives you a choice of windows media player or real media formats, select the appropriate link for Friday Jan 27.
Don't click on the heading "movie review", it just gives a very short description of the segment, to hear it you need to click on windows media or real media.
The download is for a half hour radio segment, called "The Deep End".

Oh, yes; I'm sure that's it, Tog. Wink.
Speaking of sheep...
A New Zealander walks into his bedroom with a sheep under his arm, and says, "Darling, this is the pig I've been having sex with whenever you have a headache."
His girlfriend, lying on the bed, says, "I think you'll find that's a sheep under your arm, not a pig."
The New Zealander responds, "And I think you'll find that I was talking to the sheep, not you."
Apparently this is a very popular joke in Australia

Play nicely?
Come on Charlie------
I happen to like vacuum cleaners as well as other appliances too.
I simply stated my opinion. This is Robert's website---he will do what he wishes---as he well should.
Robert also had to delete a number of explicit posts on a thread a few weeks ago. I am not the only one who saw them (and who posted them) BEFORE they were deleted.
Yeah, you play nicely, and I hope we can all play nicely from here on out. This whole website has been a wonderful form of entertainment for so many of us.

I would like to thank you all for turning me on to BroBackMount. Torturously busy at work, even missing lunch, i was completely out of the loop and first heard of Broback las' Satiddy rot he-uh (right here) on the warshin' channel. Me and Maddog--the high school chum who gave me his momma's quick cycle '77 GE Filter-Flo With MIni-basket, replacing it with a glorious Frigidaire Front-loader-- went right out and saw it. Because of all you wonderful generous men, I had the cinematic experience of a lifetime. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.
About gayitude: About five years ago or so, I was at a rather large party and a woman was saying, with some volume: "Being gay is a choice. Anyone can choose to be gay or straight. And if you make that choice, blah blah blah." And I'm thinking: so if you wanna be gay, you gotta pay. I wanted to run over and throttle her; instead, with equal volume, the Holy Spirit came unto me and delivered this:
A choice? We choose our sexuality? Then go find Bill Clinton. Tell him that he CHOSE to be attracted to Monica Lewinski, that he could just as easily HAVE CHOSEN to be attracted to George Stephanopolis. Tell him that and I bet he'll laugh and howl all the way to the next Mac Donald's.
You all know that our sexuality is hard-wired into our personity. A few fine priests, Jesuits in fact, members of the Society of JEEEEsus, are speaking up against this nonsense, this witch hunt coming from the new Reichfuhrer Pope Benedict--have you seen any of his curtsy-like bows and gesture? Is that just European or is it Gayyyyyyyyyy? These priests are demoralized to hear that although they have been celibate and faithful their whole priestly lifes , since their nature is gay, they are therefore disordered. Do you believe that ? That is the term Rome uses, DISORDERED. Little wonder people are still staying away in droves, and churches are closing.
By the way, God made me and God made me gay, and I'm okay. I did not chose it, just like I would not chose to be a midget. JUST KIDDING. JUST KIDDING. PLEASE !NO OFFENSE ! I'M VERY VERY VERY SHORT. OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I love being gay and I love short people. Wait till you see my pics when I get a digital.
Later, Dudes, I gotta go tend the warsh horse.

I meant to say digital rectal examination to determine prostate health after a near abduction by an alien spacecraft. The very fear of it shriveled me.

Is anyone finding that the movie is staying with you? It seems the farther I get from it, the closer it is, so to speak.
'Course, it doesn't help that I read the "book" and listened to the soundtrack yesterday. Last cut sent me over the edge.

Sorry, but while that may be an opinion, it's my opinion that statement is inappropriate. It's the same kind of absolutist philosophy that Bush expounded and led to our ill-fated occupation of Iraq.
I do agree that this web site is Robert's choice, and he's the final arbiter on what's acceptable and what's not acceptable. I'm glad he's allowing a wide leeway of conversations here, including talk of not only laundry/dishwashing related topics, but also of vacuums, stoves, microwaves, irons, mixers, etc.
Obscene or offensive posts are clearly not in the same class as posts about non-laundry related appliances. Robert does a great job of managing this forum appropriately.

I can't stop thinking about the movie either, Veg. My partner and I grew up on ranches in rural Eastern Idaho. The scenery and they type of work those guys did brought back lots of memories. I met my partner while he was breaking and training a horse while I was practicing trick (NPI) riding for an upcoming local rodeo. 31 years later, we're still together riding, elk hunting, fishing, doing general guy junk, etc. I keep thinking about what would have happened if we had made the choices Ennis and Jack did.
