You on...<i>Brooksie claimed to have slept with Garbo,</i><br /><br />You only had to ask, you know. . . .<br /><br />of course I did, silly!<br /><br /><br />And you must have misunderstood my syntax -- when I said <i>I wouldn't toss her out of bed for drinking seltzer, I'll tell you!</i>, I wasn't speaking in the subjunctive.<br /><br />I meant that I wouldn't throw her out of bed for drinking seltzer, which she did. A lot, usually with some of the hard stuff.<br /><br />That was the only hard stuff in the room, believe you me.<br /><br /><i>No word though as to whether Garbo preferred seltzer to soda ...</i> Consider the inquiry over. And you heard it straight from the whore's mouth, as it wereMz.

I'd say that's close enough to promise that the next time I post a male pin-up shot, it'll be Errol Flynn.<br /><br />Maybe even tomorrow ...Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-73898176359504915242009-11-16T21:41:04.662-05:002009-11-16T21:41:04.662-05:00I like Errol Flynn.

Novarro was very memorable playing a Mexican police inspector. (<i>The Big Steal</i> also stars my favorite femme fatale, Jane Greer, who has nothing to do with this post, but I couldn't <i>not</i> mention her ...)Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-45830347287681669172009-11-16T16:00:15.490-05:002009-11-16T16:00:15.490-05:00Trashtastic is right.
