O Belamo—

[mikemizanin729]

He left around the same time as I Am Noah after they had struck up a great friendship talking pish at each other in the splendour thread, maybe they've met up.

I remember Noah. He stopped posting.

 

[rareboy]

Yeah.

Too bad that I am Noah dropped out.

He was pretty intelligent without spewing bullshit all the time.

I recall it too, it was kind of weird of them...

O Belamo! If I wasn't "en train" I'd have uploaded the Picasso "Geurnica". It surely is the equivalent of "Aleppo". A place of horror then, but now, just down the road from your Mother's beach house.

Anyway, just as 95% of the world are now turning a blind eye away from the horror of "Aleppo" we can turn away from the Picasso-- though I did recall you saying that the blue-tinted tapestry would make an excellent wall decoration for your mother's wide sunny, living room or a mammoth shower-curtain. While I, in turn can turn away and rue my nephew's feeble performance on "X Factor" and that Gay Times photo-shoot.

Shouldn't this thread be moved to the fun and games forum?

Maybe they did meet up, the sex games went wrong and poor Belamo is now at the bottom of the med somewhere, what a way to go.

 

[pat grimshaw]

...the sex games went wrong and poor Belamo is now at the bottom of the med...

I can tell you are in some kind of fantastical Robert Louis Stevenson mode at the moment.

You might just as well say Belamo went to Tonga and was squeezed to death in the massive thighs of some Tongan man-mountain.

Or perhaps he overdosed on absinthe.

Or perhaps the wondrous Belamo unleashed his own Mr Hyde on the narrow-minded ordinary people of Europe.

All of the above are possibilities Pat.

Who knows what life has in store for any one of us, sadly i fear he was out selling his wares on Las Rambles, got into a fight with some younger, prettier whore and felt the end of his knife, and Belamo was no more.

 

[pat grimshaw]

Yeah, I've read Macbeth too. Long ago. Overrated. Totally. But. Still worth billions of books written before and after it...

O Belamo, did you get to the Macbeth party in Madrid?

I like the Four Witches

I just suspect he just expired from auto erotic asphyxiation.

I'm guessing Belly is the one doing the facepalm in the lower right.

 

[pat grimshaw]

Still nursing the unconquerable hope,
Still clutching the inviolable shade,

With a free, onward impulse brushing through,
By night, the silver'd branches of the glade—

Far on the forest-skirts, where none pursue,
On some mild pastoral slope

Emerge, and resting on the moonlit pales
Freshen thy flowers as in former years

With dew, or listen with enchanted ears,
From the dark tingles, to the nightingales!

 

[MrRochesterNY]

BTW, Patsy, I like your new avatar!

 

[pat grimshaw]

...

...

I wonder if that crown is from Welles or Richardson?

 

[pat grimshaw]

A March bouquet
in a ram's head vase
with a view of the sea
for Belamo

 

[pat grimshaw]

^ I guess that's Roses, Gerberas, Fuschsias and, perhaps, a Dianthus?

 

[Latimer]

Que intrigante!

One gold, one white and one tangerine

Serial Classic was a great show, and the Fondazione Prada exhibition space is superb.

 

[pat grimshaw]

I'm guessing you're moving into the warmer months.

While we're having our last swims as we enter the cooler months.

I think I see poppies instead of daisies. And a chrysanthemum?
