Dear Woufwouf (does that sounds like a German Sheppard?)
I am sorry to say so, but we were already getting some attention of the SAP. Let me describe the pieces of the puzzle, you might want to put them together.
...On this forum, back in 2002...our friend goretzki mentioned in his contribution the coded phrase: "Anything by Memphis"
...ever since the word Memphis has been regularly used on this forum, most of the contributors pretended that they were writing about an bunch of Italian designers?
...according to his own testimony in the "Tribune de Genève" Christian X...alias Sayyid infiltrates the Islamic centre of Geneva directed by Hani Ramadan as a spy! This operation of the SAP is called "Memphis"
...coincidence?....really?
Olive...
It only stands to reason that you would prefer originals to reproductions regardless of scale. You are a person of exquisite taste blessed with a keen sense of proportion, scale, massing and elegance of line, texture, color and form in the function of service. 🙂
Vive la difference!
Koen...
What you suggest about Switzerland caused me to Google:
Which country in the world has the most sexually satisfied women and which has the least? I found this.
By The Associated Press, Apr. 19, 2006
The top five and bottom five nations on scale of rates of sexual satisfaction reported to University of Chicago researchers:
Most Satisfied:
1. Austria: 71.4 percent satisfied with their sex lives.
2. Spain: 69 percent.
3. Canada: 66.1 percent.
4. Belgium: 64.6 percent.
5. United States: 64.2 percent.
Least Satisfied:
25. Thailand: 35.9 percent.
26. China: 34.8 percent.
27. Indonesia: 33.9 percent.
28. Taiwan: 28.6 percent.
29. Japan: 25.7 percent.
Freud may have thrown up his hands trying figure out what women want, but his fellow Austrians persisted and seem to have made some progress. 🙂
Dear DC...
I am still searching for the reason you found in my contribution to google the published results...you must have had other and better reasons?but I am pleased that Belgium and Canada are so close. In other words in these pre-Olympic days, I can not be blamed for taking the Canadian average down...I also know why Austria would be this high on the list. It has nothing to do with the length of the lederhosen and the ease with which the average Austrian can get out of them. Anybody that has visited Austria knows the legendary comfort of their beds (in keeping with the subject of this forum: design)Not only are they soft, the softness caresses your resting body while a warm cloud-like cover hovers over you in gravity defiant lightness. A slight odour of fresh cut cedar competes for your attention with a diminuendo last movement of a Mozart symphony in some remote rococo mountain chapel?.who needs a partner for whom you are just another feather in his hat?
Olive and Rikki...
Rest assured that I was thinking only of Olive's admirably open appreciation for the original...and its massing. 🙂
Truly sensuous and erotic women are so rare and so desirable that men who love to love them quickly learn that weight--high, low, or in the middle--is irrelevant.
Besides, haven't you noticed? Everyone, including one's self, looks 20 pounds lighter and ten years younger after an orgasm.
Ah, romance and sex! They are the only things I will really miss, when I leave this mortal coil.
Koen...
Your suggestion that the Swiss authorities might frown on deft and timely clitoral stimulation made me think how pitifully unhappy a country's women would be were they made to make due only with minarets, real, or synthetic. 🙂
So I did what any gentleman devoted to opening doors for women would. I googled which countries of women were being erotically short-changed by the instiutions and conventions of their cultures and contemplated visiting...as a kind of ambassador, if you will.
Travel, as Sinclair Lewis once wrote, can be so broadening. 🙂

We were browsing the 18,000 old threads on the forum this morning, for technical reasons, and we came across this one. We thought it would be interesting to place it at the top of the list for the new members who have not read it.
And you? If you have some favorite old threads in your bookmarks, it could be fun to give a bump to some of them.

No, the chair is still in my landlord's garden and I refrained from a life of crime. I eventually became friends with my landlords and now I can't bring myself to steal their chair. Besides, the gardener uses it from time to time to have his lunch.
So funny to read this old thread when I didn't speak a lick of French and thought I was moving back to the US after 3 years. The best laid plans . . .
Thanks for resurrecting this thread--it was nice to read the comments from old friends!
