Hmmm... a compelling argument, I admit. Though my vote didn't go to Batman and Robin, 'cause Robin annoys me. And I'm still king of waffling on the Ren and Stimpy pairing ... lol

Ha! I broke the tie... I'm just all kinds of powerful right now. :)

I am saddened that I must now leave my Hadji & Jonny campaign in order to get homework done.Remember a vote for Jonny & Hadji is a vote for freedom and equality for all while a vote for the caped crusaders is a vote for unlawful vigilante justice.

Well there is always Hot For Boys: The Sexy Adventures Of Rogue :-)

Yep. I see why Anil. Nice horse and lots of pretty women. Did I leave out some other aspect you find interesting? What did I miss?
You don't mean you actually watch those two half naked musclebound guys who are all slicked up with oil and sort of wresting with each other very sensually?
No. Of course not. Must be just be the pretty lady singing the song that has you addicted to the video.

I hate to admit that you are absolutely right, Lucas. Why should I watch a guy sliding his hand into the other guy's kispet (that's how their trunk called)?
re: Hot for Boys by ZackRegretfully I have already read it. Loved it. But I still love the Bike Boy comics more. Give me Bike Boy over Rogue (not that I'd kick Rogue out of bed for eating crackers).

I want to complain about this, because this hospital can't do that what will what would heterosexual not say if they were imprisoned and denied access to visit their loved ones, this is disrespectful and rude to treat someone in this way. This is scary that they allow a hospital to do something like that, everyone knows that it helps healing that your loved one can visit and be there for one to hospital.

Lucas wrote: "Yep. I see why Anil.

Ironicly I am also wearing a t-shirt today that says: Fear is the mind killer (consider yourself awarded a COOL POINT if you know where that quotes from).

After all everyone needs a village to make them happy. And I certainly do not want to take Robin away from Batman, but Jonny & Hadji need to be recognized for who they are. Batman & Robin get recognition all the time. Ernie & Bert get recognized all the time. Jonny & Hadji - not so much.
Vote: Jonny & Hadji!

And Lost in Space too. But I also grew up on Jonny Quest and as kid of 7 or 8 was completely enraptured with the relationship between Jonny & Hadji.
Vote: Jonny & Hadji!

I regretfully can't speak for Anil and his video, but I was taken over by Jonny & Hadji decades ago. And there's nothing evil about them.

Zack (aka the legendary artist Oliver Frey) is a member of this group but he is so busy right now doing his artwork (www.zack-art.com) he hasn't time to reply but in our "What I hate about M/M Romance" topic Oli's partner Roger Kean wrote:

I am angry with Germany and its stupid restrictions. Goesta, you can make a search on YouTube and find the same video uploaded by another person. It is Here I Am by Sertab Erener.
I'm complaining again because now I feel stupid! I clicked Anils link before and somehow I got a clip for scary movie ( how?) instead of the oiled,muscled, leather panted, butt grabbing hunks of Turkish delight! NOW I see why our lovely Anil keeps going back again and again ... Unless it was for the lovely white horse! Ignore My other stupid comment DUH! *head thud *

I am a deep admirer of his work and am patiently awaiting whatever gets made next. My only regret is that he doesn't have the time to produce all the wonderful projects that his mind can envision. Perhaps in a perfect world... where ever that is.

I must complain, once again, about having to leave - this time in order to tutor Astronomy. In the mean time I expect to see lots of new votes for Hadji & Jonny being made before I return.
Remember to vote for Jonny Quest & Hadji in Poll #3!

I'm angry with my brother who has been complaining that his fave football (soccer) team isn't playing well in this evening's game. At least the other team haven't scored, yet, either.

Well, that's no fun Goesta. Through no fault of your own, you're having to miss out on a gorgeous white horse running in the sand. Just wonderful to watch.
Ugh! I hate that the other team have just scored. My brother (21 y.o) has been cursing.
I'm disturbed that keep missing all the good discussions because I'm busy reading for another group's challenge. I somehow missed that it was a little over 1400 pages long! *sigh* I've also been busy getting ready for my sister in-laws visit. (Love how I was just told she is coming and she keeps changing the dates all without talking to me and hubby. *HEAVY sarcasm*) And fighting with hubby who is talking of moving out of bedroom (cat fur is bothering him) and said I could sleep with him "if I want to". Oh, yeah, just want anyone wants to hear!

In-laws? Haven't there been enough in-law problems here. I think we have filled the quota. Tell her Lucas can' t deal with more in-law issues until next month and she will have to wait. She should a least wait until you figure out who is sleeping with whom and where. And what about the cat?

In laws, oh how we love to complain about them. Lucas, once you are married you will have them as well, I am surmising we might hear about them more frequently from you....
I'm going to complain that the youth of today are just too impatient!!!Fearing that his book would get rejected again, Tyler has gone and published it on Smashwords. It's only .99 cents but if you use the coupon WR87N it's free for a month.
Maybe if people like it enough, he'll write more and get a real publisher! Here's the link: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
Just for Fun
Coupon what coupon? Don't have no coupon. 99c is what I have. Left after Zack. Just. For the petuous youth.
Goesta wrote: "Coupon what coupon? Don't have no coupon. 99c is what I have. Left after Zack. Just. For the petuous youth."Coupon Code: WR87N It's actually on the page too.
I went ahead and bought the book outright though.
I just bought it too! .99 what a bargain!! :)
I was all ready to unload another tirade in my never-ending campaign to see Hadji & Jonny reclaim their rightful position after having delicious Thai food with friends (alas not my personal superhero this time) and low and behold they have already reclaimed that coveted position of Alpha Male(s). So, I feel I have nothing to complain about ... wait ... that can't be right...I want to gripe about having a waitress at my favorite restaurant who was new enough that she didn't know me, but not new enough that she thought she knew me from somewhere else. Anyway, she forgot to bring hot tea with the appetizers and then somehow I got undercharged by over half of what I should have been charged. And how honest am I? I told them and had them correct the bill! If I didn't love this restaurant as much as I do... grrr. Well, she knows who I am now and the other waitresses laughed at/with her about not recognizing me - which was totally unfair since she's never waiting on me before. At least I didn't get charged for the hot tea that she never brought.
And everyone who has been so gracious to vote for my lads, Jonny & Hadji, well thank you, and consider yourself all COOL POINT ed!

I would love to see myself as a puppet."I must bewail the fact that I had no idea what Spitting Image was (is?) and had to look it up. Now I wish I was in such a cool place and England so I could have seen these things. All we get here in the Colonies are reruns of Monty Python and old episodes of Doctor Who but only up through the Tom Baker years, because American television companies are too cheap to support (meaning give money to) the BBC. At least we got reruns of UFO, Space: 1999 and other Gerry Anderson shows. Wait, I think I'm stuck in the 1980s, let me reset my er... I mean TARDIS ... ah, yes that's better ... now I'm only a couple of episodes behind on the latest series of Doctor Who featuring Matt Smith. But all this still doesn't help me in knowing anything about Spitting Image! $#%^!
I'm frustrated with hubby and his car. He has been upgrading it and it is getting on my nerves. It is all he tells about. Unfortunately today his car mat caught the gas petal and the engine's RPM's pegged. It threw a rod:( Yup new engine:( Dang car!All right Rick you win I will go change my vote. Man you are persistent!

You may have encountered Spitting Image in this Genesis video: Land of Confusion.

I'm annoyed that I was never told they were non fiction. I didn't know they were true stories until I used that link and saw the bookstore sign above Bike Boy, Bike Boy Rides Again and Hot For Boys: The Sexy Adventures Of Rogue that said Gay and Lesbian Non Fiction. Also in that Non Fiction section I saw Boys of Vice City, Boys of Disco City and Boys of Two Cities.
Oh I am so upset! Kevin was right! They're autobiographical.
Lucas wrote: "Oh I am so upset! Kevin was right! They're autobiographical."GRR! I am so upset that Lucas figured out how to say that before I did!
I noticed that in the picture but was so hurried with stuff on campus that I forgot all about the fact those wonderful books appear in the "Non Fiction" section. Now we just have to figure out who's who don't we.
ARGH!!!!!!!! I had a lovely post I was writing to Lori about Doctor Who and the #$%@ing campus computer system just hiccupped and ate it. Now I have to re-create it from scratch! Wait, I have something new to complain about! YES! That makes me SOOOOOO happy. :)
Well, that inhales to the extreme ... I look forward to seeing your post!
Lori wrote: "You may have encountered Spitting Image in this Genesis video: Land of Confusion."I am appalled that I had forgotten all about that video when I love Genesis and that song. That's what I get for not, as yet, updating my Geneis albums from vinyl to CD... er ... MP3s.

I am understandably saddened that you have never heard of the ephemeral Batman & Robin they are, after all, little known icons of the comic book universe. Not something that any intellectual person would read. But you do not want to vote for them anyway, even if you knew who they were. On the other hand Jonny & Hadji are the extremely well-known lads whose bromance was chronicled in the 1960s on an animated television show that was broadcast on all three networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) in the United States, although not simultaneously. There was an ill-conceived attempt to revamp their adventures in the 90s and in those dark, homophobic days another cast member was introduced that only cheapened the lads relationship. They had a wonderful comic book series in the 80s that garnered critical as well popular accolades. Now Hadji & Jonny have an opportunity to beat out those has-been defenders of Gotham City.
VOTE Jonny Quest & Hadji!
