Couches aren't just for potatoes...

I'm sure that I heard the first reference to a couch potato on British t.v. thanks to Clive James, and I'm also sure that the word 'potato' is utterly gratuitous in that phrase - it might as well have been couch wiener, couch tomato or couch ocelot for all the seeming relevance that potato has...

Really glad we bought the cat that scratching post. It's something nice for him to look at while he digs his claws into my fucking sofa.

@chribhibble D'you still like fucking on the sofa, then (given the choice not to)? Probably what the cat's trying to say offends him !

@theagentapsley Ha! You might be right.

@chribhibble Gotcha is the word, I think !:)

Which proves that Donald Sutherland (and Fellini) knew more about Casanova than we suspected...

(Incidentally, how did we end up with Casanova (2005) twice - was it 190 years since his last conquest or summat ?)

Complex?

'They've got it all wrong,
About the Don'
(So says he):

'They're the ones who demand -
They want him'
(Such his view)

'They truly stand in need -
They want him'
(Thus he observes)


At the same time,
In a basement in Amsterdam,
He cannot deny:
The desire to inseminate,
To make pregnant,
To give her one!

Priapic, his lust
For intercourse
Defies Leporello's notes,
Numbers, logic,
Save the logic
Of genetic lines

Rutting in the glade,
Seducing another's wife,
All about passing it on,
Passing on the impulse
To pass it on,
And on again
