4 letter indeed - thats how i spelt it. maybe it was some moment of overwhelming spirituality

I mispelt my name the other day - how special do you have to be to miss spell your own five letter name.

Thats what i always call you in my head...

eyeowna there is nothing remotely bunnyish about you.

insist i do well, it was either going to go to you or petra someone has to take it send me your silly fake address then child because i cba to go and find it.

i have seen about 10 seconds of both now may we please stop defacing this thread with conversationalism of stalking and copropilia?

2 girls 1 cup? i think i am misreading this situation....

if by rotten you mean tastey and by pantry you mean tummy - then yes, yes i most certainly do!

Ha ha, does that mean we have to provide cookies to make the look more official?

omg they actually have one? ha ha

about time - so, want it?

Baniqua are you being a pain in the arse?

Im not entirely sure i want to see FD from all angles. Im pretty sure a few of them would damage my mental health.

Both equally! I'm just going to sit in the corner and be indecisive for a bit - don't mind me.

A seasonal bump for all you hermits out there. Happy New Year MFC!

Aye well i havent listed it on ebay until she returned. Just popped in to check if i had any takers and wish all my lovely stalker folk a happy new year if i havent already. x

Im still not sure.....

Hey Guys, Right, in the spirit of all that is christmasy and seasonal. I have a present for someone. The other week i received a Limited Edition t-shirt from The Kooks. Its a promotional one for the single 'Sway' and is a women's size medium. All new and sealed, its white with Konk-font lettering in red and black. Im offering it free of charge to any of my thread stalkers who are interested because even though i won it, its not my size (as depressing as that is). Let me know.

Mac1718 you don't necessarily need a camera, some people take pictures with their phones, others just contribute by documenting what they did with Humphrey on the usb's blog section. Or, for example, if you took him to a local monument or place you love, and couldnt take a picture, you could google it and post one of those pictures instead so people get a general idea. As for addresses, the person before you in the list (so in this case, SkullyRox) would message you to ask for it once they are ready to send him on

Then again, as far as we know, Noddy is parentless. Mentorships and adoptions arent as risque then you think about it. And yes, the gollywog was removed. But i also love the old versions of the fairy tales - much darker and less sanitised and definately tales to scare the family (not just the kids). However, I always thought it was a method of discussing and analysing these subjects in a 'safe' environment. In a way we have similar ideas today with horror films about cannibalism and incest etc etc - a way to think and promote discussion without having to actually go through these things ourselves. horror movies are not always putting people off doing the horror stuff. However, is this because of the mostly visual nature whereas fairy tales were mostly written or told, so the horror you experience from them is from your own imagination anyway? Also, I still think most of us won't go out and recreate the types of things we seen on the screen! We (most of us) like a good scare to consider how we would manage in these situations. Also, life was much more diffulcult in those days and women did die in childbirth more readily which is where there are there evil step mother figures, child abuse and paedophiles have always been there and kids need to learn to be careful. Another thing is i think in the really old tales the females were a lot more powerful and in control of their own destiny than the sanitised versions would have us think. I agree that there are probably a lot of sexualised themes in the stories but surely this was because they were not just for children?

Have you ever noticed the level of darker movites, or sexual suggestion for example, in fairy tales? As people (or parents) we would have all at some point in our lives been read fairy tales, or read them to others. Little Red Riddinghood, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel and so on. There are numerous. But as a literature student, and daughter of a childminder, i have started noticing the odd insinuation when reading them. As a result, i have decided to write a thesis of sorts on the topic, and so, for once i am creating a thread for.....ready?......serious discussion When discussing it with others ive worked out that you have to have a bit of a weird mind or viewpoint to be able to see any of this, and ofcourse the mfc and its vast level of sanity came to mind Obviously there is something very wrong with teaching sexuality for example at a young age - no matter what medium it comes by. But there are lots of little things, and i suppose they can only really be seen if you are looking for them, but for some examples: - The parents always seem to need to be absent for the adventure to begin - The parents leave their children at risk through their own fecklessness or obsession with their own gratification - Red riddinghood's going in the path of the wolves with goodies - Snow white with proposed polygamy and alongside sleeping beauty with 'true love's first kiss' and thus arranged marriage - Beauty and the Beast has an abundance of symbolism in the 'deflowering' rose for starters - Rumplestiltskin maybe - Roald Dahl has been manipulating the genre and making parental fecklessness a bit more explicit in the way in which he mocks reality making it less dark And lets not forget The Brothers Grimm... Just subtexts really. The way out of terror is through the male solution, the problem often created by women. Metaphors for female sexual awakening and discovering bodies, corruption, etc. And i am talking about the originals, or as far back as they can be traced as the majority of fairy tales were created when printing presses didnt exist ofcourse. With a large percentage of their audience being illiterate, these stories were passed by word of mouth and their depiction changes with the teller. But i am also looking at how the originals differ from the more modern version due to the subject matter and political/moral correctness these days. By sexual references i am not limiting to purely intercourse itself but anything related as well as general oddities not necessarily related to 'the act'; such as parental irresponsibility, cannibalism, bestiality, violence etc. What ever seems inappropriate to be educating children with. Again, contrasting what was socially acceptable during the era, to what is now and following the timeline of codification and amendment in relation to this. Oh and I am not calling snow white i polygamist, it was just a suggestion brought up when discussing it earlier today as something which would not happen in this day and age, and if it did, it would not be so public. I am also not suggesting that the BFG visits children in beds for any illicit reason, that all parents sacrifice their children to beasts and so on and I don't have a dirty mind, i am just very intrigued by subplots and subtexts in stories. What interests me most is the degree of change over the time in which these stories have been passed on. I chose the word 'sexual' is it is the subtext most people can 'see' in these stories, specifically red riddinghood. I don't know, what do you think? Discuss!

Humohrey's State-side tour is coming to and end? Bless! Well, atleast he got to experience Thanksgiving!

How is my little Humph these days?

I leave this thread for one minute and you are already disgracing my name FD - typical! Oh and thanks to whoever tagged this as being 'holly's home'

Just about. Its now even shorter lol. Not that that first 'yikes what a difference' shower yet - realisation always dawns the first time you brush it and the first shower/bath.
