Text of the page (random words):
his castle it seems that there are no castles in the united states with only a couple of exceptions citizen kane had his xanadu walt disney had his cinderella s castle for the rest of us no castle that s why the fella who said that must have been a european they have castles in europe in lieu of a castle we americans bought houses at least till recently when we got flipped into bankruptcy the movie mr blandings builds his dream house 1948 follows a poor schmuck in the late forties it is a post world war ii world that millions of veterans returned to and started to transform america into that bastion of capitalism ronald reagan so much believed in these ex g i s had so much energy they were unstoppable they had beaten hitler into a pulp and they were indeed ready to perform miracles which they did the poor schmuck is cary grant and he is an advertising executive cary was so good at the job he got to reprise it in north by northwest he was a mad man before anybody ever thought of mad men as a side thought why is it that a lot of movies especially comedies about successful american men have the main character as an advertising executive in addition to cary grant here s a few of the other actors who played advertising executives matthew mcconaughey how to lose a guy in ten days steve martin planes trains automobiles adam sandler jack jill kevin spacey american beauty dudley moore crazy people fred mcmurray take a letter darling tom hanks nothing in common tony randall will success spoil rock hunter i looked for women in this role and couldn t find any that were the main character seems that advertising executive is a role that only men can take on at least as far as hollywood is concerned wonder what that says about the advertising game anyway cary grant our hero decides his new york city apartment is just too too small for his family of four while cary plays the out there character it s myrna loy who keeps his feet on the ground unfortunately her good common sense does not win out when cary steps into deep doo doo they head up to connecticut and find a run down two hundred year old farmhouse it s revolutionary war era and it looks like it lost the war to the british it s the old hackett place of course poor mr blandings he hasn t got a prayer rate this share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on facebook opens in new window

mystery romance leave a reply the rediscovery of sex posted on july 26 2026 by don royster reply i was watching an old 1930s movie recently a couple got married they never had a honeymoon the husband carried his blushing bride over the threshold dropped her in the living room then went off to work the wife went shopping in the one scene in the bedroom there were twin beds both husband and wife wore pajamas they gave each other a good night smooch then each crawled into their twin bed and went off to zzzz land no time in the movie did the couple even hint at the s word since movies are a very good reflection of real life none of the thirties romances had sexual activity if couples were having sex they kept it on the q t guess that was why it was called the great depression it got me thinking how did they avoid sex i mean these days sex is everywhere it s on magazine covers it s in the ads it s in the movies it s on tv it s in the music it s even on the evening news we can t seem to get enough of it so just how did our forefolks avoid sex why would they want to anyway why did it take a world war to bring back sex big questions recently uncle bardie came across an ancient tome called the real kinsey report that explained much that has been hidden from history lord byron was one of the last two people in england in the nineteenth century to enjoy a ménage à duet his female partner à duet being the other people as the famed lord was making a strategic withdrawal queen victoria and prince albert were engaged in hanky panky on the hms queen mary the thing is there was more hanky than panky vickie and bertie were off on their honeymoon of course you do know that the origin of the word honeymoon was anglo saxon for tiddlywinks as soon as bertie showed his blushing bride his tiddly and she showed him her winkie they both realized this would never do she said ewwww and she meant it he said yech and he meant it that was the end of sex as our forefathers and foremothers knew it the end of foreplay and afterplay too they returned to buckingham palace and declared that there was to be no more sex in the land to make sure that their command was obeyed they proclaimed a proclamation and they decreed a decree every female over the age of twelve not only had to wear a girdle she had to wear a corset even when she went to bed especially when she went to bed unlike prohibition the new regime of non coitus dilecti was widely popular the germans loved it the russians loved it the chinese loved it the greeks loved it the americans loved it the italians not so much only the french resisted and the canadians who were half french anyway the canadians just shook their heads and thought are they crazy how are we to keep warm eh late in the century the french came around we all know the details it was the albert dufus affair seems that a d was messing around with the can can needless to say it was uncanny how candid the can can can the can adians never came around oh sure they too had a coitus interruptus with the yukon gold rush it was a brief run why have all that gold and not have anything to spend it on so it was soon back to the business of coitus ing all over the place like they say nobody can the way a can adian can can canada what a country since men and women didn t make whoopee during the great sex out they didn t need to smell good either so no one took a bath talk about weather changes and global warming for almost one hundred years earth was bathed in a certain smell scientists blamed it on the industrial revolution the truth is it came from the lack of bathing the smell almost destroyed the ozone layer the planet was carbon dioxiding all over the place for ten years after the anti fornication act of 1840 there were no babies born why no babies the victorians queried everybody liked babies oh sure there was the poop good thing the babies outgrew that not the pooping changing the diapers they pooped in the victorians did not equate pregnancy with sex they believed babies were delivered by storks but there wasn t a shortage of storks so why no bambinos it just wasn t natural before they could say we re really screwed a solution appeared on the horizon it came from a most unusual source the north pole and it was not santa claus who presented a solution everybody presumed it was dr livingston but dr livingston was deep in the heart of africa presuming it seems that the sir rutherford rutherford returned from his great balloon exploration into wild blue yonders of the outer atmosphere with an amazing artifact you ve heard of the ipod he brought back an epod a what yes you heard me right i said an extraterrestrial pod known as an epod extraterrestrials were born from epods and it had been going on for centuries when epods were first introduced to the rest of the planet people were very skeptical some even afraid here is some footage taken at one of the first royal society meetings soon the victorians calmed down and realized this was the answer to a prayer no sex and beaucoup babies before you knew it most families were raising a crop of epods in their backyards there were those who resisted like abraham lincoln fourscore and seven years ago was not about the declaration of independence abe was talking about the wild sexcapades our forefolks had back in the olden days the boston tea party was a protest not over a tax on tea but a tax on condoms i bet you thought manifest destiny was about increasing the size of the united states westward it was not it was about spreading the epod gospel custer and his cavalry were taking a wagonload of epods into indian country sitting bull had seen the future and he wanted none of it it was every indian s right to have babies the organic way none of that genetically modified babies for the sioux despite the resistance the epods became the way children came into this world by the beginning of the twentieth century oh sure there were rebels without a cause like d h lawrence and his lady chatterley fdr was rumored to have said to eleanor on their first night as a married couple we have nothing to fear but fear itself this was the way of things until world war ii the war destroyed most of the epods when the japanese bombed pearl harbor on december 7 1941 they wiped out the epod supply of the entire united states fdr wasn t kidding when he spoke before congress and said this is a day that will live in infamy he really meant it by the end of the war the atom bomb radiated the few epods left for the next few years the world was in despair what to do what to do the korean war was fought because the allies believed the north koreans were hoarding epods they weren t so the allies lost interest and declared a truce no one seemed to know what to do then burt lancaster and deborah kerr parted the waters burt and debbie showed us the way sex was back and this time it was here to stay at least till another epod outbreak rate this share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on facebook opens in new window facebook more share on x opens in new window x like loading posted in history
