And you all are lying about not bringing your porn collection. No one's gonna know and you're gonna be there an awfully long time. Hard drives crash.[/QUOTE]
Hahaha. In such a case, I had better bring along as luxury item not mere panties and bras, but rather a full plate armor. ;-)))
Since when playboy is porn? It's so like...mp3. ;-)) Ah! You share some porn in LOSSLESS quality and then we're talking. ;-)

As far as combustion goes, I'm sure it'd be effective. But such a distinctive and powerful soprano fart would probably kill all the fauna and flora of the region and leave me without food. Besides, I have a natural smell that, due to hormonal issues, isn't that similar, let's say, to a Channel No.5 fragrance. ;-)))
There can't be any net increase in stinkness; otherwise, the environment on which I depend for living would be seriously endangered.
So, you still have to help me sort it out, Joxer, you are the pirate! :-) I'd love to use the turtle skin, with the scales and all of that, though, to protect my skin from the sun. But would I have the courage to do anything bad to the turtle?
No! So I say: let's do some mining, get some coal or ore and get the power. Men do the mining. I do the whining. :-))
I'm thinking about all this very carefully, I don't go to a desert island without taking some precautions. :op

Hahaha. And I enjoy edamane, but I never experienced either the side or the miraculous effects. There's a friend who eats it as a coadjuvant treatment for depression, though most people here eat Jap food due to diet concerns. They don't even like it that much, it seems.
Hehe...well, it'd be great to meet you on the island. You'd hold my arms and teach me to fish, it'd get quite romantic. We might end up in a movie or something. :-))
Now, I'm really surprised that no one is taking Joseph Conrad's novels to a desert island. It's just the perfect author for the occasion! And it's such a great read.
Camus is a great read too, why don't you like it? As if there needed to be a reason. :op
Take care, my dear, and have a good day!

Casta Diva is one of those songs that I never knew that I did know, if you see what I mean. Great song. Maria Callas is a fabulous singer as well. Like Freddie is to us Queen fans, nobody can touch her. The nearest in my opinion is Angela Gheorghiu, a very good singer in her own right.
So thank you Barb for bringing the name of this fine song to me and for making me watch a good few clips of Maria on youtube!!
Cheers!!
Dave.

That's cool, Dave :) I visit YouTube a lot because I find so many versions of music I love.
Here is a beautiful live performance by Montserrat Caballé who is a very close second best Norma in my opinion - probably one should not even rate or compare these great artists.
Your right Barb, that is a very good second to Maria's version. You could almost see what Freddie saw in her singing talents in that clip. Her breathe control and the way she controlled the quietness of some of the notes and her power is phenomenal for me at least. Maybe I havent explained myself well. I wish I had dear Yara's way of explaining things at times lol!!
Thanks again Barb!!

You explained it perfectly! Montserrat Caballé's control of the pianissimo parts is unique. She sings like an angel.

I've been fortunate enough to hear her twice "live," First time at Blossom Music Center in Ohio. A solo recital. Fabulous. No one can touch her pianissimi.
Second time was actually at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Oddly enough, I had NO idea she was on the bill....and when she came out, WOW! She sang Turandot; the duet with the tenor. You may know that one; basically it comes down to "I can sing anything higher than you."
Love her.
(Whoops - I didn't answer the Desert Island Discs, question' sorry.)
