JUNE JUANICO DESCRIBING HOW IT FELT TO BE KISSED BY ELVIS IN 1955/1956
They talked in the car for a while, and then he wanted to go for a walk. He took her hand, and there was just enough moonlight that she could watch for the cracks in the pierâs old boards so her high heels wouldnât get stuck. Suddenly, he stopped. He turned her around so he was behind her and slipped his hands around her waist and kissed her neck. She felt a shock of electricity, and squirmed, but he promised he wouldnât hurt her. He kissed her tenderly, first her forehead, and each eye, then her nose, and finally her lips. She kissed him back in a way that had a future in it. "Where did you learn to kiss?" he asked, surprised at her passion. "I was just getting ready to ask you the same thing!" she said, and she still remembers what it was like: "Soft, full lips. Nothing too sloppy. Oh! It was just marvelous, a little pecking here and there, a nibble, and then a serious bite. "It started small, and then got bigger, and then went little again before ending up with a lot of eye contact."
Excerpt from book "Baby, Let's Play House: Elvis Presley and the Women Who Loved Him" by Alanna Nash (2010). Chapter 7: "Biloxi Bliss"

Ganadora del Oscar a mejor banda sonora y premiada con un Goya a mejor pelĂcula europea, The Full Monty se ha ganado un puesto en las pelĂculas clĂĄsicas de comedia.
Recuerdo haberla visto de pequeña y las carcajadas de mi madre, esa risa que tiene tan contagiosa que hizo que disfrutara de la pelĂcula aunque ciertas cosas no las acababa de entender.
La semana pasada la volvĂ a ver, desde el siglo pasado que no la he vuelto a ver y la verdad es que su sencillez hace que pases un buen rato en el sofĂĄ. Tiene sus puntos cĂłmicos en una Ă©poca en que la crisis laboral y econĂłmica era el dĂa a dĂa.
Cada personaje tiene su pequeña historia y son tan distintos entre ellos, que juntos hacen un equipo excepcional. Muy divertida, entretenida, amena, sencilla y muy noble. Totalmente recomendada, ya que es de los gĂ©neros (o el que mĂĄs) mĂĄs difĂciles de producir porque hacer reĂr a la gente no es nada fĂĄcil.
Dadle una oportunidad.
The Full Monty (UK - USA, 1997)

i love everyone whos taking an interest to the sharks no matter what forces compelled yall <3 but also can i interest you in some of our guys that are older than 19 because i think the sharks truly excels at being the funniest collection of . guys, i guess
head coachs emotional support 2nd liner
last year (with david quinn) we had luke kunin as a second line center (hes a depth winger in teams that have more than five forwards and a dream). this year (with ryan warsofsky) we have jan rutta in second dpair . problem: they arent. good . theuy are CLOTH MOTHER!!!
we already have barclay goodrow at home
this is a quote from a tweet comparing kunin and goodrow but i CANT FIND IT...
i dont think we shoulda got barclay goodrow ill be real gang. i dont know what mike was doing here. anyways luke kunin is also our barclay goodrow at home (a bit of a goon, a bit of a leg weight) & we have barclay goodrow & warso loves sticking them together. & naturally theres some center with these two guys. (its currently will smith hockey)
the two old guys so to speak hook up
quoting this call from drew remenda regularly (~0:42 seconds in)
o captain my captain logan couture who has not touched ice since last season (but he played 6 beautiful games in our flop 23-24 season) && marc edouard vlasic (cousin of alex vlasic if you saw everyone getting pavlovian dog reactions every time they mentioned smaller pickle) who we last saw on ice last season...! theyre both out on injuries from the wear and tear of hockey and i honestly doubt we will see them again but i am incredibly fond of them.
heres some important things to know about marc edouard vlasic (pickles)! ^_^
divorced
yeah thats all i got for you
genuine question i have had for a while: how many of yall have never seen these guys on ice LOL
HOTEL CALIFORNIA!!!
oh my god we have SO many retired sharks that just. came back to work for the sharks. just off the top of my head:
mike grier (gm)
ryane clowe (assistant gm)
known landlords joe thornton (who is here for. vibes??? DOES HE GET PAID???) and patrick marleau (player dev coach)
tommy wingels (player dev coach)
mike ricci (player dev coach)
evgeni nabokov (goaltending dev coach) (not to be confused with goaltending dev coach thomas speer, known goalie whisperer)
mark smith (casting)
scott hannan (casting)
alex stalock (casting)
jason demers (casting)
david quinn has connections in the furry community (national hockey league) that could end your career in minutes
ex head coach dq (hes an assistant coach for the pens!) was really good at collecting guys from his prior teams, he used to be a coach for team usa in the olympics and for boston university . he knew gmmg (general manager mike grier) from bu! he also i know a guy'd his way to the pens!
funniest to me is henry thrun . dq WAMTED this guy . back in the college days ! see the thing is henry thrun we call him mr harvard. the one that got away NO LONGER...
swear to god theres another guy who dq ? i think ? loved SO much from his time with the rangers that he just kinda. snatched them with him to the sharks. BUT MY MEMORY IS BAD. I SWEAR IT HAPPENED. <- spent god knows how long paging through the shrimer
the san jose-new jersey highway
we keep collecting notable guys from new jersey... they arent even necessarily super notable IN jersey. mackenzie blackwood and vitek vanecek dont LOOK super good. i think both of them had insane injury records too?? and then we put them behind the sharks defense LMAOOOO
this post is written AFTER vitek vaneceks career record 49 save game BTW
ty equillibrium
did you know we traded away one ty (ty emberson) and also traded for one ty (ty dellandrea) . this is completely unrelated to anything .
the swedish mafia power struggle
we currently have five swedes: fabian zetterlnd, william eklund, alexander wennberg, carl grundstrom, and timothy liljegren ^_^
last season, it was a capital t thing that willyek was self appointing as head of the mafia with getting swedish meatballs at the rink (see previous link) and fabian zetterlund getting him coffee for his exit interview
alex wennberg as his senior IS challenging willyeks seating
riveting stuff. shout out to san jose shark media!
#san jose sharks#this ramble has been a nightmare for me and my ability to recall where i saw specific articles & the like#crackin this one outta the drafts ^_^

I believe to my core Mr. William Speer's portraits of Elvis Presley are THE BEST ONES ever. I highly appreciate all of Elvis' photographers, each one with their singular Elvis moments frozen in time, but those Speer portraits are GLORIOUS!
Mr. William Speer's eyes on Elvis look like God's vision to me. I imagine God molding a new creature from the scratch, out of clay and everything. At the end of the day, when admiring his masterpiece, that is what God must have seen once he was done creating Elvis Presley. I'll cherish those portraits forever.
July, 1955 - Elvis at the Speer Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Mr. Speer ran his Memphis studio, which was located across the street from Crump Stadium, at 1330 Linden Ave, for circa 30 years. That's where the Elvis pictures were taken. This photo shoot was arranged by Elvis' then manager, Bob Neal, so they could have more promotional pictures of him. Elvis himself choose the particular pictures he liked best - and no, he didn't like those shirtless ones. Haha. What a shy guy! In total, 11 wonderful pictures were taken at this photo session. 11 wonderful pictures was all it took. Mr. Speer was a master in his craft. Many other Hollywood stars slipped quietly into Memphis over the years to have their pictures taken by Mr. Speer.
Photographer William Speer was eventually inducted into the Tennessee Photographers Hall of Fame in 1990 and the International Photographers Hall of Fame in 2003. Those interviews with him speaking on Elvis' photo shoot and his long successful career are just priceless: â„

"The reason I got into this photography business wasn't the money, believe it or not. It was because I believed in giving people something that would be living with them forever... well, as long as they were living. And I've ran into people that I photographed, 50 years later, who said "I still have those pictures of yours up on the wall!" and that's the greatest compliment I can get. The money they gave me is gone, it's spent, and nobody knows where it went. But those pictures I still remember, and they do too." â William Speer, renowned Memphis, Tennessee, Photographer.
Mr. Speer recalled Elvis as "the most electric person" he'd ever photographed." âĄ
The most handsome man in the world
#â„#Rest In Peace Mr. Speer#those Speer's Elvis portraits are just... fucking GLORIOUS!#Mr. William Speer's eyes on Elvis look like God's vision to me.#masterpiece#Youtube#elvis photographers#photographers#original photographers#black and white photographers#portrait photography
