LOTV thanks for that account you provided, I would have found it infuriating to have light shining in my eyes all the time, but there we are, I suppose none of us were there to see how the situation erupted.

Lee, here's a question. I asked Thor previously about whether Freddie ever talked 'deep' or shared his philosophy on life. I'm wondering if he ever did with you.

I don't really have a question for this thread, just popping in to say "Hi." I'm new-ish to the Queen fandom and I'm enjoying all the lovely stories you guys have about Freddie :)

Hi Obsidian Willow!

Welcome Obsidian Willow...after a while, you will not be able to resist asking a question or two! :)

Blenkolove... I study everyone's teeth. I'll bet you do, too. :) I will rewind and / or pause programs for that reason. Only a fellow "toothie", like you, would understand. I do like character, as you mentioned before, and agree it is sad Freddie was embarrassed about his teeth sometimes. He was beautiful as he was. I remember what the old Prosthodontist said to the denture patient who wanted the straightest, whitest ones. He asked, "Do you want people to think you have nice teeth or nice dentures?"

Yikes...I was browsing through up until the 'Noorie's uncle' debate and then skipped forward to see how long the thread was. Things seem to have taken a turn for the worse...

Hi Thor and Lee,

Did you ever hear a phrase or line from any song that Freddie wrote that you thought might be taken from an experience with Freddie that you were part of or witness to? Maybe one where other people would find the phrase/line obscure, but you guys understood the origin and would grin at being "on the inside"? It could be something as simple as a comment Freddie made that he later incorporated into a song.

Lee & Thor... What, typically, did Freddie wear for a night on the town? Also, did he use fragrance? I seem to have read somewhere that he did.
S
Thor... any thoughts to add to Lee's recollections regarding my question on page 23 (just before the 'F' bomb)?

Hi - I'm reading "Freddie Mercury: An Intimate Memoir by the Man who Knew Him Best" by Peter Freestone and wanted to share this quote with you.

"August 17: Indianapolis, Indiana 18-19th (we stayed in NewYork) It was during this stay in New York that Freddie met up with his own personal Viking. Thor Arnold is blond and big and beautiful and we met him in one of our usual haunts, whether The Spike or The Eagle or The Anvil or wherever is immaterial. Thor is a genuine, all-American boy."

lol aww Phoebe thought you were beautiful! <3 hehe

A challenge does not have to be nasty and belittling. The occasional curse word is fine...but not directed toward another. TIT for TAT
blow-up arguments with all the previous quotes is a pain to read and exhausting. I believe it was LOTV and Dustin who went through
3 or 4 pages of nasty comment throwing on the old site. ONCE AGAIN...please use the PM function to argue on and on. Really nobody
wants to read it in the way it is presented on this thread.
T
And with that I'll try to answer some of the questions on the last 4 pages...but tomorrow.

Amen Thor!!! ....if I wanna experience That kinda rage.....i'll just get in my truck n head for some traffic congestion!!lol.
And Thor...you are quite stunning!!! How's ur teeth??lmao ;)

Just checked back...it was Dustin, LOTV and someone named day dop.
