I could not drag her away from the street performers in Covent Garden.

What is it about Bohemians? Is it their charm and wit? Do they appeal to the female mothering instinct?

I need to grow some facial hair and hopefully, some chest hair.

It's the buildup of male pheremones from having not had a bath in a few weeks. [Smile]

It's the presumption of self-confidence. That most Bohos are actually bundles of insecurity and neurosis isn't always immediately obvious; that they're comfortable standing on a corner and playing their hearts out for strangers in exchange for a buck fifty is.

What can I say... we bohemians are a sexy bunch.

*winks at Tom*
 
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
 
Hey... get off my street corner!
*puffs up*
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
*loudly sings Tango Maureen on own corner*

Take that, punk. I'm so much more Bohemian than you. [Razz]
 
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
 
Oh yah?!

*sings Chess Anthem on his corner*

We'll see who's more Bohemian.
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
*sings La Vie Boheme*

Yeah, what now?
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
Besides, I'm young and idealistic. I think that technically makes me automatically higher on the Bohemian hierarchy than you.

*scoffs* Bohemians.

*sets up his drum stand in the middle of the street and starts rocking* [Evil]

Well, they do have a pretty catchy rhapsody.
 
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
 
*sings Viva La More*

Bring it on...
 
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
 
Nothing is cooler than gothic bohemians...

mmmm...

*sings Faith & The Muse in his black robes, lace shirt, and facepaint*
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
Gothic Bohemians? Ha! Technically, all those who claim Gothiness fall under my power.

As some one who is actually of Gothic descent, wannabe Goths are automatically my lessers. [Razz]

Facepain? This some new goth makeup I'm as yet unfamilar with?
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
Yep. It's highly acidic makeup.

[ROFL]
Oops... missed the "t".
 
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
 
Wait a second... I'm the Dark Gothic Prince...who are you to claim the gothic noble line, eh? Is your facepaint some kind of seduction trick?
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
Not noble . . . simply real Goth.

And yes, I am seducing you. It's my sheer sexy, you know.
 
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
 
Oh my... *blush*

*cough*cough*

So... you are of German blood eh? Well so am I!
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
*sticks out tongue*

Well . . . mine's redder!

I used to travel to jobsites with a Bohemian computer programmer. He would often be late to the job on the first morning after arriving. "Had to drop so-and-so off." And it wasn't always the same girl.
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
We don't all do that. I, for instance, cannot drive.
 
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
 
Ah ha! Whatever strength of blood you have I beat you with seniority! [Smile]

*licks skillery for fun*
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
Well, I beat you with youth!

Or are we talking Hatrack seniority, in which case I can dig up my first screen name?
 
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
 
Gothic seniority... I'm a Goth Elder of 28 years.

(what was your first screen name?)
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
I used to be Black Mage, in tribute to my favorite 8-bit Theater character. Member number 5800, yo.

Well . . . I speak German and can read Anglo-Saxon. That's gotta give me something.

Almost to landmark!
 
Posted by Black Mage (Member # 5800) on :
 
Though if I combine these to my posts as Joldo, hey . . .

Oh wait, Skillery's male!
