As they said in the movie Night Shift, the preferred term is "love broker."

Ah, I see your research is well under way! ;)

I seem to be at a pivotal age: It's a toss-up whether I'm more interested in the business opportunity or the merchandise.

I was born in Queens.

Are you the King of Queens then? :D BTW, for what it's worth (not much probably), I stayed in Queens while I was visiting New York!

I'm at best a knight errant.  I haven't been to Queens since I was 4 except to go to a few awesome concerts at the old tennis stadium and to see my favorite baseball team.

NP: Kate Bush - The Dreaming

because it came on next, and I'm not capable of rejecting Kate after several Guinnesses.

Genesis - Abacab.

Hard to argue with Genesis, even in their waning years, but I've got Kate.   ;D

Careful with that keyboard, Eugene! ;D

Well, face it.  I own Abacab too, and I like a good bit of it, but it's surely not close to their best.   Why the hell haven't you folks made Kate queen yet again?

I was thinking more of what a rogue 'k' might do to the quoted phrase...

Either I'm being dim (certainly possible) or we've got a case of non-compatible slang going on.  In any case, if Kate's interested, feel free to give her my address.

Blimey, I'd be virtually unable to complete a sentence if I didn't have w*nk or w*nking in my vocabulary!

At least one (and most likely both) of us is/are confused.  I know what the above means, but I can't see where slipping in a 'k' would insert it into my statement.   And yes, I realize (realise in English) that 'insert' begs to be pounced upon.  Kate's being a tad weird right now, but I still love her.

Edit: I get it.  "waning" converts to "wanking," although I must point out that you left that part out of the quote.   ;D

Edit of Edit: OK, you did quote it, just not in the post, where you said "the quoted phrase."  Shall we shake hands and call it a draw?

Not if it's your waning hand ;)

I know it's a MySpace friend of mine and I remember their tracks sounded great when I checked them out. But you get so many friend requests on MySpace and there are so many great bands, can't buy all the music  ;). You find them recommendable?

Hmm not sure yet.
I seem to remember that i've got a friend-request of theirs too in the past but like you say, you get so many from time to time and to be honest, i hardly ever use Myspace, i use hyves more.

It's not bad. But on the other hand it's not my thing either.

;D Okay, thanks for the info. Just read what you wrote in the 'purchases' thread. Gothic-alike music doesn't have my interest either. I have a few Within Temptation albums, but I don't find myself playing them often  :-\.
