blind-fitter Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Errrr...No. Obviously, I know what Morrissey looks like. But the world-wide audience may not. (How would I know? ) I just thought that depicting Ian Broudie, (frankly a bit of an eyesore), with Morrissey's name underneath, there was a risk of some confusion there...A nice pic of the handsome devil himself might have clarified matters and "evened things up" at a stroke. Fret not, 'twas of no import.
invisible_r Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 what about Jarvis? He's got the geeky thing going too with those massive glasses!
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 I am loving nerds, but then I always have...nerds and bad boys...and when you find one who has a little of both...yummy!!
daslied Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 I once beat a guy to death with my trusty abacus.
Tenacious_Peaches Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?
Jenny Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Das, you'd come off tougher if you'd beat him to death with your slide ruler.....but your still our favorite nerd
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Das...you know you are just getting more groupies when you talk that way!
Tenacious_Peaches Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Jane, he tries to act like he's a big dork, but das is really a smooth pimp daddy. He loves all this attention.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Peachy...I knew there was something more to the story...now the truth is out!
blind-fitter Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays? I believe Das calls it his abacus, because it's something he can always count on...
daslied Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Thanks - I had no clever retort. Other than "Sure, because sometimes it's Roman and sometimes it's Russian." But yours was better.
Ombre Vivante Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 You couldn't find a picture of Morrissey? In your shoes, I'd be more embarrassed at fancying Ian Broudie than Morrissey, who's quite remarkably handsome in comparison (as well as being witty, erudite, sensitive, etc.) I'd be a-shocked and a-shamed to discover how someone here doesn't know what Moz looks like Moz doesn't seem - to me - like an "odd" crush. That's how his whole spiel works: Aloof and morose is what gets the chicks Now, if she would've said Marc Almond from the early days of "Frustration" (or any day, actually), I'd be quite surprised at the odd choice of person AND music
Earth-Angel Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Marc Almond freaked me out when I was younger. I swear he had a song about "your fingers burn" and all I could think of was hotdog sausages overcooking and swelling the skins bursting and being all horrendous and bloody and awful
Uncle Joe Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 And how did that make you feel, Sue?
edna Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 I met Marc Almond in the early eighties and he´s just the same on stage than in real life. Maybe more exagerated in real life... He´s very nice but acted and looked like Boy George only smaller and without all that hair...
SoulGirl Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 On behalf of mutants everywhere, I say "Thank you, Jane". das, you clearly have a lot of experience fishing because you seem to have managed to get quite a few bites! you are such a pretend nerd!
Kevin Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 I think calling oneself a geek or nerd is the ' new cool ' as it's a win-win proposition : one is considered either self-depricating and humble , or a potential billionaire in the making - or both !

He´s very nice but acted and looked like Boy George only smaller and without all that hair... I think it's the other way around, Boy George acted and looked like Almond. Even though they both got their start around the same time, Marc Almond got there first. A bit of an admirable thing for a genre which changed stylistically from year to year. Also, Marc IS a scary fellow

Funny you say that about being a billionaire Kevin, the "geek" I went to after-prom with is now big time rich!! If I had only waited! I just found this out a couple of months ago from my high school friend, she said he has major bucks now. Damn!
Kevin Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Jane , 'our ' generation's values didn't flow gently into the next , apparently - damn these computers , anyway ! } Look at the shluckumshliesters ( yeah , I made it up - but you get the idea ! ) in 'Odd Crushes ' ...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Kevin...that word is great!! Love it!
johnnyguitar Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 Even now I am able to reduce dinner parties to either a stunned silence or hilarity when I 'confess' a certain adolescent regard for the form and function of Martina Navratilova. Even though she subsequently came out as batting for the other side (so to speak)I felt that she might have re-considered had she and I ever had the opportunity to meet convivially.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 johnny....you make me laugh and I so needed one at this moment!! Martina definately missed out!
