In Tir, or anywhere in fact!

I am !! I am !!

Prove it Lacie!
I demand testimonials.

Orin, that would require my .. ummm ... friends to be un-Gentlemanly. To 'kiss-and-tell' is not the behaviour of a Gentleman!!!!

I'm not sure if I am or not. Would anyone like to try me then brief the gang? These are free samples .......... he he he he

There ya go Orin. I think ya got a taker *L*

If the girl says she's a good kisser, she's a good kisser

Lacie, point taken.
Your word is testiment enough of course.
The confidence you exude in your kissableness, is also an accurate enough indicator I think.

My earlier remark regarding proof was strictly tongue in cheek.

pardon the 'tongue in cheek' pun, Orin?

(I have written about 5 continuums to this .. and each one has lead to the 'delete' button!! No matter how wicked I am .. there are just SOME things I can't say to be left on the board for ever .. and ever ...)

Tell us, Orin, why the original question? I found it a breath of fresh air, actually.

Well I don't believe Lacie. If she thinks she's a better kisser than I, she'll just have to prove it to me. *puckers up* C'mon Lace, whatta ya say lass, let's you and I find out who's the better kisser? Ladies first, then my turn! ;)

Its got to be an accolade everyone feels they deserve surely, got to be!
Who hasn't planted a smacker and left the recipient in a state of blissful chaotic abandon.
Hopefully it's a non-contentious issue as well, though that’s not really the motivation.
I've nothing against people exorcising their inner demons.

I could do with your restraint at times Lacie. I have a fatal attraction to the 'Post this message' button.
But enough! I digress.

Where have all the kissy people gone?
xxx

Perhaps you should install a 'kissing booth' Orin. In the name a charity, of course!

I am sure Fionn would be a willing stall volunteer.

(Orin, you have NO idea the battle I wage against the 'post this message' button! *L* .. do it!, I say.)

Judging by the response we need a kissing tutor!
My god! is there no passion left in this place?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hmmmmm .. I think the question REALLY is - who are you seeking passion from, Orin?

You posed your question. You had response from myself and Fionn (I agree, not necessarily overly stimulating). You avoided answering 'why' the original question was posed. You responded to posts BUT continued to ask about 'kissy people'. Seems to this Agatha, you have had a secret motive all this time.

So, Sir, tell whom, tell why, tell ALL !!

AND since I have been an innocent player in your rouse, I DEMAND a response!! *s*

I'm shocked, Lacie!
No ruse, trickery, shananigans.

'Who's the best Kisser' doesn't need analysing.
Its a lighthearted forum for all to tell of their smooching credentials. No secret agenda.

In fact Lacie and fionn are the only pretenders to the throne so far. Nothing to do with me, no no , I just posted a title.

I think we'll hang on to the Blarney Stone. Can't see it doin much trade outside our shores.

I'm impressed I still retain the ability to shock *wg*, even though I can not prove my prowess in smooching.

I do believe the early 'forced and free immigrants' from Ireland managed to bring a slither of Blarney with them. I think we make fine use of it 'down under'.

Pray, Sir, do not take offence at my tickling. *smoooch*

I think it should be a nomination thing *G* Vote for your favourite kisser *chuckles*

hmmm .. Sorcha, that would require kissing someone who belongs to the community of Tir, so they can nominate/vote. That's tough for most, sorcha .. even tougher for us!! *L* I guess it is you and me, kiddo!! ROTFLMAO

I volunteer to avail myself to any gal that would like a soft dreamy kiss. You know.......
The excitement of that certain eye contact knowing what may happen? All of a sudden you move close enough to feel each others breath then you back off only to render that approving smile and inch back to each other again. A warm embrace comes easy as you caress each other before moving in for the real kiss. This is the kind of moment that lingers on...... for years........ somewhere between my dreams and heaven..............HHhhmm...... any takers?
;)

now now...i personaly think i am the best kisser.. or i have the best kisser...

Sorry Lacie, I'll have to vote for LR this time :)

Does anyone remember the most exciting kiss(s) we NEVER saw in the lift when Helen Mirren got a proposal from one of her husbands criminal henchmen in The Long Good friday?

Extra points if you name her husband and the words he used........................

I'd like to vote for LR but I haven't had the pleasure yet...... he he he he. I'M HORRIBLE AREN'T I ???

Yeah, you sure are Derm, now behave yourself

Wait a flippin second here ......... who's Dave? I don't know any Dave. How do you know my name??
HHhhmm........ Shaunery's Dave? YES?

That's OK, Gwydion, we have never kissed. *g*

Someone should shake Fionn to wake him from his 'certain eye contact between dreams and heaven'. Then again .... let him keep dreaming.

3 tips for a perfect kiss

The art of the perfect kiss is a slow progression of escalating involvement. Each stage is its own destination. It’s not a sporting match to progress to the next base; perfect kisses go slowly.

Kissing should be gentle and easy. Maybe a warm embrace and caressing his/her face and arms. Even the gentle pressure of the hug accentuates the kiss.

kissing gently and slowly, so light that his lips barely feel like they’re there. Then he runs his hand down the side of my face, touches my cheek and holds it while kissing me. That’s the best.

7 ways to wreck a kiss

Wet, slobbery kisses that leave you drying your lips with your sleeve
The insensitive mouth-masher who almost smothers your air supply
Chapped, lizard lips
Too much tongue and too much tongue too soon
Bad breath
Passionless peckers
Loud, smacking sounds
What's the secret to the perfect kiss?
The secret to the perfect kiss is more than technique; it’s more than the simple act of two lips coming together. The perfect kiss is all about matching the art of kissing with perfect timing. It’s about being with the right person at the right time and fueling your perfect chemistry together.

Couldn't resist posting that little article...lol

*Runs in and steals a kiss from Bri*

Briana darlin, I could not have said it better. YOU HAVE MY VOTE!! Now may I have a kiss please? ;)

MMMmmm..... the foreplay before the kiss. It's wonderful when it's right! As a personal preference I like to inhale a womans breath. It tickles going in, me thinks.

Love the article, Briana!! I THINK I remember some of that kind of action!! LOL

A kiss should be unexpected, and yet afterwards such that neither person could possibly imagine anything else to have happened. It should be filled with passion, and involve the entire body.

Two people joining together, first at the lips and arms, and pulling each other gently into an embrace that brings their entire bodies into unison with each other. Chills run up and down the spines, as the hands explore their partner's body, and the lips taste the divine, in the form of the lips of their Love.

It climaxes with a feeling of the Earth moving underneath the two, and melts into a dream like state of euphoria...

Raven, that was nice BUT Briana still has my vote!

I'd hope so, since Briana is a woman and I am not. Otherwise, people would talk.

I am not in the running, I just wanted to express my opinion about what a perfect kiss should be.

To paraphrase the famous words of someone long since dead: "If nominated I shall not run, if elected I shall not serve." Well that's taking it a bit too far now that I think about it, but I shall at least not toss my own hat in the ring.

Raven? OHhhh........ *blushes* Sorry about that man!! There was a gal who used to be a Reg in Tir about 5 years ago from the Pacific Northwest named Raven. I thought you and her were the same. My humble apologies.

OHMEGOD .. now ya kissing the blokes, Derm?? Jaysus, Mary and Joseph, man!!

ROTFLMAO

by the way ... where be you about now, Orin?

Watch out boys!

I NEVER KISSED Raven, I just thought this Raven was the old Raven. We gOTS tA KeEp dA FaCtS StRaIgHt HeRE mOn.

Whatever you say man. No need to get defensive *LOL*

Fat,braces to hold pants up,balding . Tmf not a chance bro,you look old enough to be my drandad.
yuck,im off to huey in the w.c.

Oh Jaysus!!! *Covers eyes* This has the look of something that could get ugly. *Peeks through squinted eyes*

I dunno.

There are deeper questions than "Who's the best kisser".
F'rinstance -
I haven't watched the X-Files in ages.
BUT -
I just happened to notice that the listing for tonight is "A series of deaths seems to be linked to a man obsessed with the TV series The Brady Bunch."

Hello! Like - men are from Marsha? And women are from ....
And then I do a Google - and I find that there is a Venus connection with the BB!!

SO
Nevermind this virtual kisser question.
I mean, get in the flesh! Should one watch this particular episode of the X-Files? Is some cosmic secret about to be revealed? Is it better to travel in hope than to arrive? Why are we here? Is there life before death? Where the hell is the remote?

OMIGAWD!
Trust no-one , not even Google.
In the search for truth and the meaning of everything, Google hints that I should look at:

Well, typical cover-up!

Latest update
Didn't watch X-Files - Quelle surprise?
But I did see "Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels" - which would be the kind of movie that wouldn't survive Hollywood focus groups - which would be an indication that it would be worth watching.
Then I watched - not for the first time - the early part of Schindler's List.

I've been here before.
More times than I want to know about.

It's very simple.
In Tir, when you see the bastards coming at you, the best thing to do is to ignore them.
In real life, when you see the bastards coming at you, the best thing to do is to get out of the way.

If the bastards still keep coming after you in real life, the best thing to do is to take as many of them with you as possible.


PS:
"with you" could be interpreted as being defeatist.
The real 'best thing' is to be alive afterwards.



Sheeeeesh! (* he said - re-reading the above *)
Next thing we know, we're going to have a "Tir and tolerance" thread - or has that been done already?

Acc, I'm sorry to have to tell you this my good pal BUT ....... I think you've been at sea too long. Now getting back to the real issues plaguing peoplekind, I have to share this with you. Last nightwhile wrapping my head in aluminum foil (you get better reception that way) I had an epiphany. Yeah that's right, just as I had finished the wrap and downed my twelfth shot of Jamie it came totally clear to me (whiskey can have that effect). I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time. But as I raised my arm to grab some potatoe chips I lost reception so I couldn't see the rest of the master plan. I'm tellin ya man, you just can't make this stuff up. For Real!!
Awww shucks... what time is it? I'm thinkin I need to start getting a bit more realistic about things. Where's the flippin Tequila?

lets put some vasaline on the lens, lets talk or lets roll, Accasbel should rent signs but as the words are leaving my lips a noise comes from behind

Bang bang Maxwell Silver hammer came down upon your head...

*In sympathy Gwydion leaves The Mighty Fionn a bottle of Jose Cuervo Gold*

First the mighty one wants to kiss me, then then Innkeeper, Acc himself wants to confuse me, Then we have a guest who is either a vasoline salesman or a sign maker, I'm not sure which.

Isn't this supposed to be about kissing? Who here can say they've made the head first plunge to kiss the Blarney stone? (Who will admit to it anyway?)

Raven,
Interested to know more about ye. Where are ye from?

Raven and Dakota sittin in a tree......
K I S S I N G
;)
Kewl Beans

Soz Lacie!
I was away practicing.

I am from where the wind comes from, and I am heading wherever it goes. So far I've lived on three continents, Perhaps I'll settle down once I've seen them all.

I am filled with wanderlust, I love seeing things new and ancient, and enjoy being with friends new and old.

I HAVE A GREAT IDEA!!! Forget about who is the best kisser. Let's have an All Tir Beauty Pageant??!!?? All women should update their profiles with a PHOTO. Preferably a swimsuit photo. All the guys place their votes with Acc and he tallies up the winner. Whichever gal wins gets a free trip to the next Tir Gathering. air fare and hotel only. Just think of the hum that'll take place around here. REMEMBER THAT GUY A FEW YEARS BACK THAT WANTED TO PICK US ALL UP IN HIS PLANE AND TAKE US TO IRELAND? we can have him provide the tarnsportation!! What the heck was his name....... Well anyway, you guys get the idea. Who's in?

Groans and shakes head* so much for liberation.

Well Sorcha - Look on the bright side.
It appears that you'd be allowed to wear something in the photo. :)

Plus you'd be in no danger of putting on weight, since with the cheapskate prize * ;) *, you'd have to walk from the airport and starve yourself for the duration.

Plus if "THAT GUY A FEW YEARS BACK" is doing the transportation, you'll be able to wear a bandana (in addition to the swimsuit and burqah) and sniff for white powder on the plane.

Why only the Ladies?? Surely the blokes could manage to get a picture of yourselves in an appropriately scanty thong and join in the parade.

*shakes head a any parade to judge people on their looks alone*

Awww C'mon ladies, it'd all be in good fun! Everyone, I mean everyone on this planet appreciates a physically attractive person. ACC, has the next Tir Gathering been decided yet? I mean we could choose some exotic place like the Caribean to make it worthwhile couldn't we?

The Carribean sound great to me!

maybe we could have it at the mighty fionn's house

*grin* I agree with the MightyFionn...we need more updated photos!!! Well, I've voted for LaurelRose....I won't say why, as I am a Southron Gentleman who never kisses and tells, and secondly votes for Lupe, as a chat pen pal (even though barely of age, but has a great pic); so Chani, it's only fair that you post your pic if you are going to get a vote *grin*

What do you say, TMfionn, or am I the only honest, lecherous old man on the Tir ???? Lacie get's the third vote for sheer personality! And I'm not going to volunteer to kiss Raven, even though, when beardless, I'm often compared to Elton John, ROTFLMAO!!!!

Don't shave Gwydion *L*

As a 'Guest' posted wisely: "Oh Jaysus!!! *Covers eyes* This has the look of something that could get ugly. *Peeks through squinted eyes* "

And Lo! it came to pass. An Lo! it came to be deleted.

Remember that it takes two to get ugly.

So - Please all remember that it's about Kissin' and not about Cussin'

I submit the photo I have posted on my profile.
OK,OK, I'll admit it's a bit old and out of date...*G

"Tir na nOg, the Land of Youth,
the Land of Laughs, and the Land of Truth.
Let's keep the Mirth and shun the derth,
A place left to celebrate the land of our birth.
A place to muse, rest, grin and repose
away from the battles, forays and foes.
A place to nurture, or all the fun we will miss...
A place for comfort, or perhaps steal a kiss" :)


By the way, Celt, I think the contest should be 18+ to enter, not that the photograph has been in the albumn 18+ years *grin*

well said, bearded gwydion! LOL @ the celt comment!

though, I am not pleased at coming third 'due to my personality' ... "yeah, she has a friend, with a great personality" ... thanks!

heavy on the plus side of 18 for sure...

Okay...Let's change the perspective of the main subject at hand! What about the best "on-screen kiss"? (...and I don't mean attachin' yer lips to your 'puter monitor, either!!! *LOL*)

Here's some suggestions from a magazine I wuz readin' at the dental surgery last week. Thought provoking!...*G*

"From Here to Eternity"....The beach kiss (oh so divine!)

"Gone with the Wind"...Clark and Vivien burn! Yes I agree whole-heartedly!

"Ghost" (yeah...this has to be one of my FAVOURITES!)...that sensuous pottery scene...MMMmmmmm! *eyes glaze over*

"Lady and the Tramp"...Those cartoon doggies sharing their meatballs...(yep...I go along with this one too!)

"To Catch a Thief"....Cary sets fire to Grace Kelly and leaves her smouldering...*L*

So...anybody got some more to add to the Smootch list?... :))))

We're doin ok!

To tell you the truth I didn't expect as many vivid accounts of abandoned self control.

Isn't a competition, more of a platform.
I'm impressed anyway.

xox

*grin* Moves Lacie to #1 :)

Jaysus! From kissing to a beauty pageant... I'm with you Lacie, lets see some of the men parading around in a thong... *This could get scary* *L*
Accasbel, I wouldn't dare ask you to be the judge for the men, after all, I don't want to get banned from Tir. *LOL* Lacie and I can do the judging. So guy's get those pic up on the profiles!

You're right Briana. I wouldn't like to be rethponsible for thelecting the winner of a thong conthest.

I guess I'll have to admit for Lacie and Briana that turn about is fair play and we men should update our profiles as well. Ahem, however, and I can only speak for myself, but a thong in my case would only be hidden by a beer belly...in gaelic, would that be a Guinness gut???
*makes plans to buy a treadmill :)*

Briana,
I've got way too much body hair to be displaying my body in Tir. After all I even wear a t-shirt when swimming at the beach!! So if you don't mind, I'll just refer to the photo already posted. Thongs? HHhhmm.... aren't those the things you put on your feet as beach footwear?

ah you're dating yerself Fionn...they used to be footwear, but today they're called flip-flops I think...

Dating himself? Wow, maybe he should date somebody else? Seems kinda personal Celt. *LOL*

*Passes the mighty one a bottle of nair*
Now ya can throw away those t-shirts. No more excuses!

*Turns treadmill on high and makes a run for the door*

*frantically reaches for the bottle of Guinness tied to a stick in front of the treadmill...as the contraption explodes, flinging Gwydion, stick, and bottle into the next room*

he kisses blokes and dates himself. *shakes head* My darlin' fionn, you are a worry.

Now ... swimming t-shirts is normal here, as is wearing thongs OR a thong. The Australian culture REALLY must be experienced to believe!! *L*

Gwy .. good call. You guys should do something better with the pics on the profiles. My own pic, actually, is 2 years old .. a good thing that is too. The last couple of years have been less than kind!! LOL

UPDATE / PUT PICS UP I say!!

Orin ... by the way ... this is ALL YOUR FAULT!!

I have a pic up!!!!
I'm not proud!!!

Very artistic, Orin! A bit like doing a jigsaw. No thong, though *sigh*

I'd put my photo up but I dont think my noggin would fit into that small frame...anyway its posted at my website where there's more room *g

s'ok, celt ... i have seen you in a thong *wink*

oops, sorry about that gyw.....lol

*grin* *installs safety harness onto treadmill*

*Cuts straps* *G*

Thongs for feet? really what next fionn? I suppose "old spice" is still popular with you.

I think the girls won!
The blokes in general were rubbish really.

Of course the girls won, what the feck do you think? Everything I know about kissin, I learned from girls. Jaysus, was there ever a doubt? *L*
Thy will be done...
The girls are all goddesses for cryin out loud!!

i'm absolutely shocked, utterly gob-smacked, that i didn't get a mention as the best kisser. come on now ladies, you know who you are, start tellin' your stories. (thinks he just crucified himself somehow)

Oh My Dear Curoi ... you fancy the anthill thaaaaang? *grins in a very, very wicked manner*

If I tell stories .. means you go onto the anthill. Cruicified!!

Choose ... *Wicked Witchy Laugh*

if your the one crucifying me lacie, consider me saved then...
