1) Question:
2) Question: Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun. Birthdays are good for you: the more you have the longer you live. How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on. I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jollier Than the people who have to wait for them. If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy? If Walmart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing in the store is free yet? You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person. Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once. Don't cry because its over; smile because it happened. We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors ....but they all have to learn to live in the same box. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by US Air Force pilots and the replies from the maintenance crews. "Squawks" are problem listings that pilots generally leave for maintenance crews.
Problem: "Left inside main tire almost needs replacement."
Problem: "Test flight OK, except auto land very rough."
Problem #1: "#2 Propeller seeping prop fluid."
Problem: "The autopilot doesn't."
Problem: "Something loose in cockpit."
Problem: "Evidence of hydraulic leak on right main landing gear."
Problem: "DME volume unbelievably loud."
Problem: "Dead bugs on windshield."
Problem: "Autopilot in altitude hold mode produces a 200 fpm descent."
Problem: "IFF inoperative."
Problem: "Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick."
Problem: "Number three engine missing." Degrees (Fahrenheit)
* 65F Hawaiians declare a two-blanket night Subject: "Women in Love"
Hello all... As I write, I have the Sundance Channel on with a screening of his film "Women In Love." Needless to say, I am waiting for the infamous naked wrestling scene between (the late) Oliver Reed and Alan Bates. It takes me back to a bittersweet memory. I rented the film on video several years ago for the first time. I had heard about the mentioned scene and was very intrigued (sp?). Back then, I was just beginning to deal with the fact that I might actually be, heaven forbid, gay. I remember watching the scene the first time and enjoying it very much. I also remember trying very hard to deny the fact that I felt such pleasure at the idea of sex between two men that wrestling represented. So, here I am tonight, older (40 yrs that is, wiser (or so I would hope) and gayer (but still fighting all that old guilt and fear). I have chosen to "unload" all of this on you as my own peculiar way of saying thanks. Through my internet connections with you all, I have found a place where I am home. Thank you for being there. Thank for understanding.
peace and happiness to all,
ps....and so, as a naked Alan Bates and Oliver Reed
prepare to grace my tv screen, i must say that I wish
they had grown a little older along with me. if i may
be so lustful, i must say that i would love to hear
from any silverfoxes out there that would enjoy
recreating the famous wrestling scene..only with a
little more love and tenderness. Welcome home, Bobby... Thanks for sharing with us; I hope you will continue to do so.

hello i like sumo
This is the first I've heard and I, too, am intrigued. I think the late
Oliver Reed is one of the SEXIEST men ever. I discovered him in his last
film
"Gladiator" as the extremely masculine Proximo and have been a fan ever
since.
Something about silver men in ancient Roman garb...
Thanks to Bob White for reminding us of this wonderful film. I wonder if there are others who, like me, thought the scene after the wrestling, with Alan Bates running nude through a field at dawn, was even more erotic.

The screenplay for Women In Love was written by Larry
Kramer, founder of GMHC and Act-Up.
Is this the movie that I would have seen long ago, maybe in the middle
70's? I didn't know that Larry Kramer was doing screenplays then. I didn't
meet him until the middle 80's.
Women In Love was released in 1969. I'm glad you also know Larry, he's fascinating. we once chatted about the problems he had with the wrestling scene.
Love, Hi Ben: I have been a member of this list for maybe 5 months, I have enjoy it very much, and I can honestly say that I have never received anything so good as this list, and so important for actually nothing. I have never realized how much worked was involved with it, and Ben you are doing a really important work. I do not think you realized how much your work has influenced my life and I'm sure many others around the world. So from the bottom off my heart, thank you very much......... please keep that special touch and please take care.
Calle Hard Congratulations Ben!!!, not many people know the amount of work and dedication it takes to run a mailing list and a web site. I am sure that e-mails like the one from Mr Hard, make it easier to keep plugging along. I always said your website is the best one out there. Great job!!

what happened after that." End of silverfoxesclub-digest V1 #166
