Yvonne Ditto about off the topic, but I dooooo love your new foto, such a wonderful orgasmic smile.

Yes, I remember those sheep in Times Square, but you forgot the fishnet stockings. When I turned one down, she replied "Baaaa shful!"

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Shep, of course I remember that. Gee, what a problem when one of those little rascals would cut under the subway steps. Once in a while one of 'em would sneak under the turnstile and go downtown on the D train. People at Columbus Circle would be amazed to see one of your flock coming up the steps there. I'm sure he was just itching to get into Central Park. Of course, I knew all along where it came from, but I never said a word. I just gave him 25 cents and sent him back uptown.

You guys are great. Of course they headed for Central Park. It never even occurred to me that they had a natural affinity for the Sheep Meadow. Billy thanx for laying out the fare. I never knew how they got back.

Yvonne and Spaldino, I had nothing to do with the stockings. My dad and I had this understanding. When he wanted to borrow the sheep, I was to ask no questions.

What the hell are you all talking about? Real sheep on the subways? Ditching the turnstiles, and Billy giving them 25 cents carfare? Am I missing something? Sounds kind of fishy to me. Or is this some kind of a code language you are using?

B-Shep, so it was your father who started the AIDS pandemic. Up until your confession it was believed that it was started by horny pygmies having their wicked way with the rare species, green monkeys. I have been told by Kiwis and Aussies that once you've had a sheep (ewe or ram) you can never go back.

As we learned in Latin class "De gustibus non disputandum est".

Marylynn, "fishy"? You mean "sheepy".
From what I can make out of all this is that Bronx Shepherd and Yvonne are running a boutique bordello which caters to an animal loving clientel. Live and let live, that's my motto.

It seems to me high time that Yvonne reentered this debate. Also it would be nice if BA acknowledged my apology for that culinary incident at the Paradise.


SWORD

Sword - I have just jet planed it out of Vegas again, and so I did not have time to read your apology. But, I accept it. Anytime someone has the courtesy and the decency to apologize, I look upon them with a smile, and admiration.

BA Are you still considering Kentucky? Why not join me in Guatemala?


SPALDINO

Spaldink dahlink, Guatamala? Not on your life, and how did you know about Kentucky?


Whatever. I am currently in beautiful Santa Barbara California. This is truly God's country.

Spaldink dahlink, Guatamala? Not on your life, and how did you know about Kentucky?

This is a no-brainer: you talked about it publically not so very long ago. And why fly to Santa B. It's not a long drive from Las Vegas. I knew Santa B in the 60's. It was overcrowded and overpriced then. I can imagine what it's like today.

SPALDINO

It's not overcrowded, but it is certainly expensive in every sense of the word.

Why drive, when you can fly straight into Santa Barbara airport? Huh, huh? It's a short flight, and with the price of gas, it's a bargain at 230.00.

You're right, I did mention the derby didn't I?

You're right, I did mention the derby didn't I?

Actually, you didn't mention the derby part of the drama. Do tell, leave nothing out, we're all ears. So, you have a stable of horses like PH. Maybe I'll leave Panajachel and join you.

Spaldino

PS You never mentioned your reaction to Sword's upchucked hero.

What can I say to such a brilliant piece of writing, not to mention your fantastic imagination, dahling.

Hey, BA, Spaldino's making me jealous. When you're finished with Hubby #?, give me a whistle. I'll have you know Spaldino nearly OD'd on Cialis while on sex tour of Manila.


SWORD

I don't think the Loew's Paradise could be moved to Kentucky, Guatamala or Manila, for that matter, even though I'm sure the people in those respective locales would greatly appreciate it. It's just too heavy and those delicate little cherubs adorning the scenery on the walls might fall down. They're only made of plaster, you know.

Cherubs,,, that's the word I was looking for, thanks Billy.

Did the Paradise have cherubs that pee'd water into a kinda bowl that had goldfish swimming in it, or am I dreaming again?

Or am I confusing it with the water feature in the entrance to the zoo?

Schwartzie & others are going to go bonkers over the recent shift away from the topic.

Speaking of Manila, VCRs and now DVD players have all but killed off movie theaters throughout the world. As a frequent visitor to Asia, I used to attend movies frequently. A/C movie houses were a rarity, and thus one had to share the movie with horse sized ****roaches and even larger rats. One learned quickly to do what the locals did and kept your feet on the chair in front of you to give the rats a free run when some fool dropped his/her popcorn or whatever. The sound of the racing gaggle of vermin sounded like the popping of popcorn.

Thus, do not allow the Paradise to be moved to a hot, humid climate.

SWORD

Yvonne, yes, there was a fountain with goldfish at the Paradise, it was right at the foot of the grand staircase. I don't remember a cherub being there, but there very well could have been some kind of peeing sculpture.

Sword, of course if they moved the Paradise to Manila it would have to be moved with the air conditioning intact. The electric bill would be horrendous, seeing as the climate is hot nearly all the time. I don't know what they'd do about the vermin. When it was finally put down on its new foundations, the New York roaches and rats that were already hiding inside the walls would merge with their Asian cousins.

Remind me not to go to the movies if I'm ever in Manila.

Billy N. Good thinking! But you overlooked at least one problem: would the vermin of Manila be able to cope with their Bronx cousins' accent? Or is that the vermin in today's Paradise only have Ebonic and Hispanic accents?

SWORD

Sword, I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect it would be a mess. I would imagine that there would have to be some kind of vermin translators on hand to bridge the communication gap. You could use universal symbols, but you'd have to post the signs very low down on the floor. That's the best I can come up with right now.
