Theresahollyinyourmind · 24/12/2010 17:22

Getting in the spirit, you might say Xmas Grin

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 24/12/2010 17:31

Wot are you on abaht, Oyster?

Interested in this thread?

Then you might like threads about this subject:

PrairieOyster · 24/12/2010 17:35

About this of course! He he!

MrsLucasNorthPole · 24/12/2010 17:36

Saw the message (scroll down Missy for festive tidings from the man himself!). V.sweet.

Looks like Hobbit beard is a distinct possibility...

Oyster is using Dwarf-speak, Missy.

Theresahollyinyourmind · 24/12/2010 17:38

Maybe we need a new drink in the common room

And he quotes dear, dear Oscar.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Theresahollyinyourmind · 24/12/2010 17:48

What constellation is that one, then, Missy? Aquila?

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 24/12/2010 17:58

It's a configuration of heavenly bodies, Holly. Surely that is plain to see?

PrairieOyster · 24/12/2010 18:01

Or perhaps of one heavenly body...

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 24/12/2010 18:03

I like to think that each represents a separate sidereal moment and thus is a stellar body in it own right, Oyster. Holly has previously explained all about the elasticity and discontinuity of time.

Theresahollyinyourmind · 24/12/2010 18:07

O, bright star! as the poet has it.

MrsLucasNorthPole · 24/12/2010 18:10

If we're quoting Wildest, I like this one...

One's real life is so often the life that one does not lead.

...and this...

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it...I can resist everything but temptation.

Theresahollyinyourmind · 24/12/2010 18:21

So true, MrsLNP, on both counts. That first one reminds me of the Lennon quote.

Er, are you going to be able to tell us a story, later on?

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 24/12/2010 18:28

My second favourite quote from dear, dear Oscar is

I put all my genius into my life; I put only my talent into my works.

PrairieOyster · 24/12/2010 18:28

Star light, star bright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

PrairieOyster · 24/12/2010 18:30

I'd settle for a dream

PrairieOyster · 24/12/2010 18:33

By the way - Merry Christmas one and all!!

MrsLucasNorthPole · 24/12/2010 18:37

Me too Oyster. Three months of lusting and not a single measly smutty dream - s'not fair!

How about this quote from Wilde...

There is nothing so difficult to marry as a large nose

Hands up who'd be willing to give it a try (present dh's notwithstanding) Xmas Grin

OP posts:
Theresahollyinyourmind · 24/12/2010 18:44

Oh yes, of course, Merry Christmas, everyone.
As one who has had a dream come true, so may all of yours.
Hopefully yours will be a bit less mundane than my one, which was just to locate a supply of a favourite food here in Limpopoland

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 24/12/2010 18:50
PrairieOyster · 24/12/2010 18:55

Thanks Missy

asmallbunchofmistletoe · 24/12/2010 18:59

I found . Something here to cater for almost any taste, I hope.

Theresahollyinyourmind · 24/12/2010 19:00

That was fun! Thanks Missy from me too
