The "I don't want to talk about AI" thread, and the new topic is: Raquel Welch, fur bikini optional

Different types of cats for the different pieces. Kittens for the pawns. Maine Coons for the rooks. A Siamese for the queen.

That's cheating. Getting the cats to move and stay where you want it half the challenge. The other half is adapting your game when they don't.

What about hairless? Can't believe you forgot hairless, it hasn't been that long, sheesh.

Bishops, to represent the tonsure.

I'm gonna irritate some people, but I have no f**king idea how people watch golf.

Easily. Stack two throw pillows at one end of the sofa, lie down, close eyes, and doze off to the ambient noises of outdoor activities and soothing tones of the restrained announcers.

But whoever started with this "In the hole!" shouting shit should be strung up by his... whatever. At least at The Masters they escort those a-holes off the course.

Someone needs to make a TikTok video of this immediately. It would go viral beyond imagination!!

Clearly this would be the King. A balding pussy who hides in the back and barely moves while everyone else does the hard work.

No, the king has to be one of those old, overweight tabbies. The kind that moves twice a day, and mostly just wants to sit in the sun.

That’s not the king, that’s the pillow princess

Anyone ever see the original 3 Musketeers movies made in the 70's? Playing chess with dogs as the pieces?

The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers? They were brilliant! Written by George Macdonald Fraser, who wrote the Flashman novels too.

The break dancing aussie and the mad dash to stifle all of the online videos of her afterwards, was the most ridiculous thing in "sports" that I can ever remember.
The NFL lost a third of their fans and viewers when they turned political about five years ago, and haven't recovered from it yet.
There are plenty of things about America that are very arrogant, same as every other Western country.
It used to be ok to root for your team or country, but somehow that became arrogant, in lieu of everyone deserving a trophy to spare their feelings.

Wow, this mumbling has gotten far too serious.

Manchester United!

Yep! Love those movies. Only ones faithful to the book. Great script, great cast.

I had a huge crush on Constance when I was about 10. Only discovered years later that she was played by Raquel Welch.

 

[iwatchus]

In the mid sixties, when I was a young 'un, I shared a bedroom for two years with my cousin, who was a high schooler. He had a thing for Raquel Welch and had, at least for a while, the poster of her in the cavewoman outfit up on a wall. She is forever burned into my psyche.

Ha! I bet. She was something else

The NFL lost a third of their fans and viewers

They didn't, though. 2015 hit an all-time high of 18.1 million viewers; it dropped to 14.9 million in 2017 and 2020, but that's a little under an 18% drop, nowhere near one-third. Source

when they turned political about five years ago, and haven't recovered from it yet.

Same source: "The NFL has recorded its highest television ratings in nine years, averaging 18.6 million viewers across its first three weeks of the 2024 season."

I can think of worse things.

So is Raquel Welch a kink or a fetish?

How dare you! Raquel is sweet and pure, as is our love for her.

Mena Suvari in The Musketeer was very interesting to young Z. At a time where I was probably not entirely certain why yet.

She was great in American Beauty too
