Bachelor
BACHELOR, n. A man whom women are still sampling.
2010 Update: A man whose sobriquet is more flattering than his compliments.
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller He got hair down to his knee Got to be a joker he just do what he please ... .
Something women love, but somehow are not satisfied to leave in its natural state.
(I'm sure we did this word before, and that I wrote something about it being a man who comes to work each day from a different direction. But now I don't know who I was quoting.)
state of mind!!!!! as quoted a few blocks up ,i think i know a few, either they are or they are not! same would be said of bachelorette some prefer to have the STATE/CHURCH decide their status then there can be little to no personal responsibility if one so chooses
Inwards have their own life, and when they go crazy, you'd better find another body to jump in, or a train to jump under. :)
"American Psycho" -- The film focuses on Wall Street yuppie Patrick Bateman (Bale), whose mental instability and blood lust leads him to **serial killing**.
Karen, sometimes even a radar can only see so far.
Nessa, you can't be slippery unless you're also smooth.
TLP, we're a little like fresh snow. And speaking of unmarked, I thought I must have done this word before but couldn't find any sign.
Ariel, it certainly makes sense in a John Lennon sort of way. And you're right about the other thing. I've known women who could be frightened by plastic toys but not scared away by the hosts of hell.
Karen, he was only a politician for that minute, I imagine.
Bear, marriage seems just like government in that regard.
Thom, we bring our own shackles. (I realized just in time not to end that sentence with "balls and chains.")
Actonbell, it's easy to be a bachelor when you have a python.
Cooper, we all call your name but most do it in respectful silence. Call me what you like. If I don't respond, try a stick.
Karen, you have noticed, I imagine, that you're talking to people who aren't here. As for the Heat, I'm giving up the last of my lingering LeBron love.
"The song's [Come Together] history began when Lennon was inspired by the Timothy Leary's failed gubernatorial campaign for governor of California titled "Come together, join the party" against Ronald Reagan, which promptly ended when Leary was sent to prison for possession of marijuana."
Jimmy Boy (former sobriquet) has not been a bachelor for 37 years thanks to a kind, loving, and generous Mrs. Jim.

I think i know a few bachelors. I wonder what their nicknames are? Their compliments are usually pretty damn good.
ReplyDeleteSomething women love, but somehow are not satisfied to leave in its natural state.
ReplyDelete(I'm sure we did this word before, and that I wrote something about it being a man who comes to work each day from a different direction. But now I don't know who I was quoting.)
Google search shows that I was using a Sholom Aleichem quote.
ReplyDeleteBut it also shows that I like Phyllis Diller's "A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once." much better.
Karen, some people think that song is about Yoko Ono. Does make sense in an odd way, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteBachelor, an artist of scaring women off. (Which is not as easy as it sounds!)
The lyrics of "Come Together" were originally written as a campaign song for Timothy Leary.
ReplyDeleteThis American politician was running against Reagan for the job of governor of California ...

state of mind!!!!!
ReplyDeleteas quoted a few blocks up
,i think i know a few,

STATE/CHURCH

can be little
to no
personal responsibility
if one so chooses

BACHELOR, n Aw the joys of not being tied down to a ball and chain
ReplyDeleteHello Cooper.
ReplyDelete<<<<----..
So I can't call you my pretty pup any more?
ReplyDeleteKaren I'm a little unclear? Were you waiting for me, summoning me or what?

Actonbell, I googled Burmese python, are you sure those are not frozen puppies? :-P
ReplyDelete"Karen, some people think that song is about Yoko Ono. Does make sense in an odd way, don't you think?"
ReplyDelete-- No, it makes no sense whatsoever.

Jim, sometimes the dark lord himself must smile.

Ariel, that's going too far!
Double negative, Karen.

Do they still exist?
ReplyDeleteMy Best friend bets they are extinct.
Maybe that counts only for Germany :)
Thanks, Karen.
ReplyDeleteNicole, there's still Thom and I, although that's not a breeding pair, so they may be extinct soon.
Maybe you guys should meet her ,.... :P
