And the one with the torch? She’s going to give the phrase “carrying a torch for someone” a new meaning as she parks it where the sun don’t shine because she thinks you are a flaming orifice.
Oh the memories. In the seventies, my brother had a lot of girlfriends, all named Linda, Melinda or Melissa. He just called them all Sunshine. He also gave them all the same bracelet with the same engraving. My brother and sister were in the same senior class. Sis grabbed his adress book and just invited all the girls he had starred. When they got there, and saw the bracelets, they began to talk.Brother had to head for the high timber to avoid a scene like this one!
Candles burning, glasses are chilled and soon she’ll be byHope and pray she’ll say that she’s willing to give us another tryAnd if all those plans I made don’t melt the lady’s heartI’ll put on the old 45’sAnd maybe the old songs will bring back the old timesMaybe the old lines will sound newMaybe she’ll lay her head on my shoulderMaybe old feelings will come throughMaybe we’ll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked awayMaybe the old songs will bring back the old timesAnd make her want to stayIt’s been too long since I’ve seen her face light up when I come homeIt’s been too many hours I’ve wasted staring at the phoneSweet old songs I’m counting on you to bring her back to meI’m tired of listening aloneAnd maybe the old songs will bring back the old timesMaybe the old lines will sound newMaybe she’ll lay her head on my shoulderMaybe old feelings will come throughMaybe we’ll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked awayMaybe the old songs will bring back the old timesAnd make her want to stayAnd make her want to stay, want to stayMaybe we’ll start to cry and wonder why we ever walked awayMaybe the old songs will bring back the old timesAnd make her want to stay

“Orpheus had abstained from the love of women, either because things ended badly for him, or because he had sworn to do so. Yet, many felt a desire to be joined with the poet, and many grieved at rejection. Indeed, he was the first of the Thracian people to transfer his affection to young boys and enjoy their brief springtime, and early flowering this side of manhood.”
So Maenads react badly when they find out you’re into boys!
Sappho, the poetess from the Isle of Lesbos, had a coterie of women from whom she tried to conceal her love for Phaon. When they discovered him in her company, their visceral reaction was to slay him. Rather than risk their wrath by admitting that the assignation was one of mutual desires, she raced from the scene, came to a cliff and leapt high in the air, pledging to fly or die.Her secret search for male fulfillment was to die with her, in the roiling waters beyond the cliffedge.
