Years ago, one of my son's coaches was incredibly "truly" handsome. He was tall, fit, chiseled jaw, cleft chin, gorgeous eyes, polite, intelligent, well dressed, impeccably groomed, very successful, drove a Porche and would pull up in that car and step out looking like a celebrity.

The first time I had to speak to him I couldn't even concentrate. What made it worse was he was so polite, didn't act like he knew he was attractive, and genuinely seemed to care about my kid. If he were a jerk, it would have been easy to not like the guy. But he was very likeable on top of being super attractive and successful by conventional standards.

I remember you too! I gave up my Porsches, though.

quote:
Even if I were attracted to that type, I wouldn't want to be with a man that has a trail of panties dropping behind him wherever he goes. I don't know how his wife dealt with it. Fending off other women all of the time has got to get old.

As I mentioned before, for some of us at least it was more about quality rather than quantity. The ability to be very selective allows for a history of a few O-T 9s rather than OP's 250 body count of potential crazy stalkers.

The winner of the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest was

Bangaranga - Bulgaria's first winner ever, posted above.

Second place was Israel, whose participation was protested by five countries which boycotted the contest, including Spain. Do you think political issues should influence international music contests, or sports like the Olympics or World Cup?

I generally don't post much of anything. Those observations were triggered by the prior poster's comment.

And finally, one for the O-Ters who may wander into this board, by an O-T 9. Cute song, though I don't care for feminist anthems generally.

There is actually an amusing musical composition for orchestra featuring typewriter percussion by Leroy Anderson.

Claim primae noctis, though you undoubtedly would not be her first.

Here is Audrey Hepburn, who aspired to be a prima ballerina, and whose birthday was not suitably noted here a few days ago.

Edited to delete the amusing comment and not offend anyone's imagination.

Not going to inflict all the '26 entries on the board, but maybe a couple entertaining ones from first visit back in '21. Cute singer, Stefania Liberakakis, was 17 back then so completely legal in all countries now. Greek, but also Dutch I think, since she had another song on her channel I liked, "Swipe".

Australia has a nice entry, so why does the U.S. not participate?

My favorite is receiving criticism as glorifying deviant sex, but it is a really good rocker.

It appears that the finals livestream began already. Who you got?

Seems that France is considered one of the favorites, although in French.

I think today is the 70th Anniversary finals. I first stumbled upon the channel on Youtube in 2021 and was entertained, although I knew that Abba was first noticed for their entry of Waterloo back in the 70s. Looks as though being there for the live final performances would be a blast. It seems too prejudiced towards electronic dance music, but also songs performed in English apparently have greater appeal than German for instance.

Have seen a few performances that I would prefer for the Superbowl over what we've been getting.

And hilarious now, if you knew the story. I didn't catch that one back in the day.

Actress/singer Claudine Longet has died. Ex-wife of Andy Williams. There are a few women who I suspect could kill a man, but she actually could and did.

Heck, nearly all of my photos are spontaneous, unplanned and without concern for composition. I'm a master as much as he is. Somewhere around here I also have pics of people actually posing with mannequins as though they are also displays.

I certainly understand your premise. I was often asked out by women, and became very cautious as to who I allowed myself to have any relationship with, out of fear of not being able to get rid of them without a resulting Fatal Attraction scenario.
