That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 14, 2021

The temptation to blackmail was strong for the Nurse, but she overcame it.

Yah burnt! Her mom caught you in the daughters bedroom.

Open window rooms were a boon for “swingers” to get away from the meddling mamas back in the day.

“Don’t mind me, I’ll just stand over here and pick my nose.”

“It’s horrible, Robert! I think I might end up looking like that cone when I get older.” “You mean your mother?”

As Elizabeth stood, enveloped in her lover’s arms, a tiny voice in the back of her head kept says. “One little push. What could it hurt?”

“I’d love to take you with me babe, but I might lose my grip, and we’d plunge to our deaths. We should stick to the script and die slower, more agonizing deaths.”

You can tell I love you! My breath is coming out like my outfit, in short pants! If I stay it would be divine but if I leave it will be the vine…

The further amorous adventures of Lord Greystoke.

“Don’t get me wrong, Rapunzel, I love your new hairstyle, but if you do it up like that, I have to use a rope!”

I see not the slightest hope/ of their ever descending the rope./ His arms are like strings ! / He’ll have to sprout wings/ if ever they try to elope.

‘one last smooch, my darling, before i bungee jump…’

Tarzan decided to try a different look to get a girl, though many of them didn’t mind the loin cloth..

Can I come in? My legs have gone white with the cold

Is this the cord for the blinds? That sun is strong.

When Mother Gertrude came in, with the whole convent in tow , Geoffrey realised that this bell rope , as convenient as it was, may not have been the cleverest way to get access to Sister Marianne room.

“Better hurry Romeo, that rope is tied to the bell tower.”

Going to work will be so much easier after we install stairs

Still with a plait of Rapunzel’s hair in hand, the handsome Prince stops in mid-climb to cadge a kiss from her sister.

G: Oh yes, we’ll keep him in here, obviously. But if he had to leave, and we went with him…F: no, wait, just keep him in here,G: Until you or anyone elseF: No, not anyone else, just meG: Just you….

Given that this is the moment of departure, not the moment of arrival, we are to understand that Romeo and Juliet spent their night of love on a Savonarola chair? Yes, they’re young, probably athletic, but that beggars belief!

“Don’t mind me here in the shadows… I like to watch.”

“He’s the gardener, I think we can take a Chance with him”

“Come back when you’re old enough for big boy pants”

I’ve been reading this book about a fellow named Tarzan…

Thanks for the game of chess last night, Anya. I fell for the Queen’s Gambit again. BTW: Maybe you could just get a regular sized chessboard…?

Nothin’ could be hotter than to watch him make her holler in the mor-or-ning!

Too bad. It’s the real “sport of Kings”.

Sorry, I’m late! Some women in black cut the rope. I had to find another. I think I pulled my middle muscle!!

“Don’t be too upset, Juliet. No one will know that I’m Romona, not Romeo. It will be our little secret!”

Looks like we’ve got a floater.

comment’s title URL which says its another roughly jumbo envelope size oil on panel (not watercolor) painting.

I was thinking more of the grappling hook from the 1960’s Batman television series.

Romeo taking drivers training from Tarzan.

“I must go now, but I will always remember the fond way you wiped your nose on my lapel!”

Romeo said, I came here ready for sex and you are still fully dressed.he didn’t know she had a fast change dress , sorry Romeo

“Ihr” can be singular. You address royal personages as “Ihr Hoheit “ (your highness), for example. “Ur” suggests extreme antiquity. “Uralt” simply means “ancient”. I read “urgross” as really great. I’ll take it!
