Sexy Cohen?

Yep. English is a mysterious language. Especially in the 'slang' or 'expression' departments. You can be 'hot' in the summer when the sun is 'hot'. In terms of the body, hot often takes on another meaning. Burning workd also. From the passion standpoint. I think you get my meaning. You just want to see me squirm, don't you?

See you later,
Linda.

One day I will post and look at my post and see no typos whatsoever. This is a wish of mine.

No-no. Not at all. I wonder sometimes if there is subliminal images that pass on the screen of forums because it is frequent those mistakes of interpretation.

Or if the filter is in the eyes of the lector. Or maybe it is the fantasy I take with langages/languages that are seen as absolutly not politically correct, not decent? Tchocking/Shocking? No intention here, in any case. Take care.

Gotchya Tchoc! I think we discovered long ago that the probability of becoming involved in some kind of misinterpretation or misunderstanding is somewhat higher than that of winning the lottery.

See you later!

The miracle is to be 100% (OK I stay realistic, anything over 93% is OK) understood sometimes how do we feel good then

Even with good will from all the parties it is not so evident.

I just read that the North European countries, let say Scandinavia, are top of the world in term of social equality between men and women (and I stress social - this means political, professional, economical fields). Maybe this is why Stina could joke "like a man" without injuries of any sorts from her fellow (I have a soft spot for this word, yes

) Scandinavian (and others, thanks G_d) people.

Canada is in 7th position. (Go Canada Go go go)

I heard a joke on Sunday about Margaret Tatcher, I just don't remimber who had done it, but it was from France by a Frenchman, it goes "Do you think that MT could wear a mini skirt? Oh! no she could not, her balls would overhang out of it."

I dream of the day social power will be equal between men and women everywhere in the world.

In some low rated (in term of this study) countries, they still do not have the right to vote.

If anyone hears of this repeating on Biorgaphy Channel in Canada please let us know. I can order it through my digital cable.

I have seen it before where a female interviewer has tried to make Leonard defensive about his reputation. I relaize that I do not know him personally, but he appears to be very honest about his love for women. There is nothing wrong with this, there is nothing better than a lover who absolutely loves women, they are the best.

Some men and women are not into long term monogamy...... He is a monk now, right?

A friend told me a quote he had heard from Leonard "some men have been rained on but I have been drenched to the bone"

"All great lovers are articulate, and verbal seduction is the surest road to actual seduction"

Sorry to interrupt, folks, but, Tchoco, I just had to

re: the MT joke. Not 'politically correct', I know, I know. But...

- I think Margaret Thatcher would laugh also.

Linda.

After having heard this joke, I laughed until I went to sleep at night. I was laughing while writing it here. And I laughed while reading your post, Linda. But like we said here "It is not because we are laughing that this is funny". If you know what I mean. But Rome was not built in one day, patience, in the meantine, lets laugh again, that provides stamina.

Tri-Me I'm sure some good samaritan could get it off his/her hat right now for you. This and that.

Yes, laughter does build stamina. I have to hand it to Maggie, though. She played in the Political arena with the Big Boys, who judge one another by the size of their balls, and she did very well during difficult times.

You'll be laughing all the way to the polls should our Government collapse, won't you Tchoco? I will.

Linda.

No. Political turmoils mean economical turmoils which means many small and great annoying events that I could live much better without. Not that I am for the statu quo in order to stay quiet at any price (he! he! he!). But. Better to keep it as low as possible, turmoil, while doing any necessary changes. At some point I heard they want to send someone fetch Ed Broadbent who is a man that I respect. That would not have been bad. But I do not have faith in Conservative Party. If turmoils should have been, I would choose another road. Here there is a brand new party, the very left wing of politic - based on ecology and equity, a party based on human values. I would go for it, firts. Have a nice day Linda.

Thanks Tchoco, you have a nice day too. As you probably know, B.C. fell to the liberals again (natch), but with a great increase in NDP seats. 2 in the last election, 35 yesterday. So, I, like many others, wait for the budget. I can't get behind Harper either. Not just Harper, the Conservatives. We've had enough trouble with those guys over the years. I guess the best we can hope for is a minority Liberal Government. The NDP doesn't seem to making as much headway out east as in the west. Ah, it's all just politics. See you.

Linda.

Hi Tri-me,

Well, Leonard went to Mt. Baldy as you know, took his vows and technically became a monk. However, I, personally, don't know how 'monkish' he is these days. He certainly does seem to be a true lover of women (in my view at least). Did you attribute both the above quotes to Leonard? I think I read the bottom one just recently and it wasn't Leonard. I could be wrong.

In Tom's trading corner there's all sorts of info on interviews, etc. The CBC archives have quite a bit that you can view or listen to. And there's Tom's trading corner, of course.

If someone becomes aware of a telecast, they usually post it. I don't watch much TV, so I'm not good at keeping track of what's on the tube.

See you later,
Linda.

"All great lovers are articulate, and verbal seduction is the surest road to actual seduction". Sorry this is not a Leonard Cohen quote I will qualify my quotes.

During the interview he did with Lori Brown, after he recieved his order of Canada, he said "Door hinge rhymes with orange". This interview is in the CBC archives. My Archaya told me that he heard that Leonard said "some men have been rained on, I have been drenched to the bone" this is a second hand quote so I am did not read or hear him say it, but it sounds gfffffb oooops go kitten. It is hard to write with a kitten.

As long as a man is honest, truly honest, not making a show or saying what he "thinks" I want to hear, he is sincere about what is going on, I am fine with that.

Monkish lol!!!

A friend introduced me to the CD by Vanessa Daou called Zipless, she sings poems the poems of Erica Jong, I LOVE THIS CD. This is a copy of the poem it has been changed on the CD, but the same idea is there.

Becoming a Nun
For Jennifer Josephy

On cold days
it is easy to be reasonable,
to button the mouth against kisses,
dust the breasts
with talcum powder
& forget
the red pulp meat
of the heart.

chourus
comming, comming, comming becomming a nun

On those days
it beats
like a digital clock--
not a beat at all
but a steady whirring
chilly as green neon,
luminous as numerals in the dark,
cool as electricity.

chourus
comming, comming, comming becomming a nun

& I think:
I can live without it all--
love with its blood pump,
sex with its messy hungers,
men with their peacock strutting,
their silly sexual baggage,
their wet tongues in my ear
& their words like little sugar suckers
with sour centers.

On such days
I am zipped in my body suit,
I am wearing seven league red suede boots,
I am marching over the cobblestones
as if they were the heads of men,

& I am happy
as a seven-year-old virgin
holding Daddy's hand.

Don't touch.
Don't try to tempt me with your ripe persimmons.
Don't threaten me with your volcano.
The sky is clearer when I'm not in heat,
& the poems
are colder.

© Erica Mann Jong

to Tri-Me: I am very surprised to read this poem by Erica Mann, daughter of the great word magician Thomas Mann ! I like it a lot - I would love to have a copy of this CD.

to Chocolatl: I love your location - if only you could love my avatar.

I love this poem, too.....does the cd sound as good as the poem reads?

Is your avatar the latest upgrade in DVDs, Henning

?

you made me smile here, Lizzy (I don't use a smiley cause I think that I don't look that good on smileys) !

I have only had three passions in my life:

BVB (http://www.borussia-dortmund.de), Leonard Cohen and John Cleese.

People think I am nuts because of this combination. To most of them it was almost impossible to deal with such a profile.
