Nicky, you should check out the short cartoon "Feast" before Disney's "Big Hero 6": it's about a Boston Terrier named Winston.

Cool, I didn't know that. I'll check it out.

Default Overdue Intro.

This is not a bio but just a bit of background info about myself.

I chose the handle "eisenwurst" as a tribute to the "working girls" of all nations who gave their menfolk something to look forward to whilst on leave, and did a lot to raise morale.

For quite a number of years I lived in the Red Light district of Sydney-Australia, Kings Cross and before being made infamous by the "underbelly" series of books and tv shows, it was a GREAT place to live. Initially it was quite flattering to be propositioned a half dozen times while going to and from work. But did get annoying with time. Anyway with familiarity I "became a local" and free from harassment.

With time I got to know all the locals and met some truly interesting people. We all ate at the same café the "Astoria", it truly had the best food I've tasted anywhere - no exaggeration. It's long gone now.

Anyway the "Cross" is situated up the hill just a stones throw from a big ( for Australia ) Naval base, and had lots of good stripclubs where you could always catch a good show when there was nothing on telly worth watching. This was before girls started having tattoos and piercings, and also before drugs became such a huge problem everywhere.

"The Pink Pussycat", "Stripperrama", are just 2 that come to mind. The shows weren't big production numbers by any means but they were fun. Hence my interest in nightclub type music videos featuring beautiful women.

Anyway at the "Astoria" I struck up a friendship with an old Merchant Marine sailor who'd been retired a long time and he told me a lot of his adventures. And he told of his visits to a bordello on the Repperbahn in Hamburg, and how sad he was to hear that it disappeared in 1943 during the great firestorm and a lot of the "girls" that worked there also died under terrible conditions. Whole city blocks were turned to ash.

The establishment was called "Eisenwurst" and I believe there's a reference to it in one of the more obscure versions of the "Repperbahn Song".

It's good that good old "Aces of the Deep" had a nightclub feature with lovely Elise- sweetheart of the U boats, and also that GWX has a nightclub feature.

I gotta go now, I'm still not quite 100% and need a lot of rest.

Arnold eisenwurst.

Eisenwurst

Doesn't that translate into ''iron sausage''

Good name for a house of pleasure

Default Defibrillator.

Defibrillator not required as second brain ( the one that did all the thinking ) is well and truly retired.

Looking good Steve! It's been about 1.5 since I got a buzzcut myself - I might be due for one pretty soon

I don't know, George. When I was 23 I started letting mine grow, and by the time I was 25 it was almost to my waist. I only cut it then because my wife insisted. Her hair was extremely curly and would get thicker and thicker as it grew, but never got much further than halfway down her back. So she made me cut mine to not be longer than hers.

Hehe, I know exactly what you mean! I was actually going to keep my hair short, but I grew it out at the insistence of my girlfriend who liked it better that way. Right now she seems to be 50/50 between keeping it growing or cutting it short. It's kind of at a point where it's getting at least as long as hers, so maybe that's what will do it in the end too

The things we do (to our hair) for women
