It's actually very important (to me, possibly to some others too). Not important like a masterpiece but quite important nonetheless. It's just one of those things I suppose we do as we get older, "ah that..good, there it is... I'll just put it here until I figure out what to do with it".

Then completely forget about it.
manhood. testicles. reason to live. waking up one morning and saying i think i'll move to canada written on a piece of paper to be opened only in case of emergency.

I'm still trying to work out why the vim in on top of the fridge, and what does that have to do with naked women.

Or maybe it was the boasting, or the karma, or the whoring that reminded him of the vim.

No to all the above.

If anyone can actually guess it right..and there are clues... the prize will be a good one and a one deserved by the winner

Absolutely right I was there in the Louvre, in the middle of April . , I am short in stature and any time I tried to get any where close I was elbowed just as I tried to take a pic., or actually pushed out of the way. The Mona Lisa was protected by barriers as well as, I think, by a glass enclosure, ( I could be wrong).

The last time I was there, over 37 years ago, there were no barriers, and one could actually be within a foot , or so of the actual painting..

If I knew how to post pics. on here , I would show you what I mean now, and then.

By the way, I am neither clumsy, nor uninterested

I know canadian medical techniques are said to be a bit behind UK ones, but surely they have an Xray machine to take the pictures by now, and shouldnt have to resort to the technologist having to sketch the injured party in odd poses?

Graduation photo? Degree certificate or professional qualification? Marriage certificate? Birth certificate? Letter confirming Canadian citizenship?

Actually is it a naked baby picture? (Having suddenly remember that what started this thread was a drawing of a naked lady)

What should I branch into?

It's hard to find models you know. A group of us had to pay a woman to take her clothes off. Next week it's a naked man.

Still need more karma please.
