Vladimir Nabokov: Lolita

Thank You, I wanted something to contrast more with the surrounding and prevailing dun and browns. :) Turns out most of my pics are on the brownish level, so this at least contrasts, and who can resist Vladimir. :D

Thanks, I usually don't care for that shade of mint green, but in this case I made an exception. ;) :eek:
 
Ditto to what the others have said, Pontalba (oft seen inside 'a Nab plot', hehe, sorry, just so proud of that, you chose that name on purpose, didn't you? ;) ), great avatar! And signature. I want Laughter in the Dark. Must have, must have!
 
LOL Steffee! Would that I had realized that! One of life's pleasurable ironies. :D :cool: Can't believe you sussed that out!
I know you will enjoy Laughter its amazing how many of the same story threads VN used over again.
 
Gem!
Great contribution, and pretty too!
I certainly hope you'll at least come back and join the Discussion. And we are all about puzzles here, so many many thanks! Gives us another one to chew on. And you too.
And now that you are not such a stranger, come on in and be a friend.
Do you like tea or coffee? Cream? Sugar? Pastry? :)

A friend of a Friend brought up Nabokov at dinner the other day. He mentioned the possibility of a riddle in Lolita and Nabokovs own childhood experience with his uncle. So of course while i sat and pretended to listen I was really thinking 'hhmmm..I wonder if Peder, Steffee, StillIlearn and Pontalba have come across this yet, and what must they think of it?' :rolleyes:
 
Well, by we hadn't come across it here, so thank you so much for finding it for us. I'm laughing! Gem, you have now joined the thousands of 'bokovians who get that funny glazed look in their eyes whenever Lolita is mentioned.

I wonder how many times we are thinking of our own cyber friends while talking to our 'real life' friends and if they aren't also often thinking about theirs? :D
 
this is an experiment..... :rolleyes:

Really! What woman could resist That? :eek: :D
 
Mmmm, do I want to answer that. I wonder if them young 'uns out there would share that opinion. He is rather dashing and distinguished. I always enjoyed his voice too.:D
 
Wait a moment, come a little closer. Just a little bit closer.........now let me just reach for my walking stick,...........WHAM!

Now what was that you were saying??
Need some help?

Paramedics!! :D
 
:mad:

:p


Ah you poor thing - you've even got a walking stick.

And never mind swinging that thing again - I'm a ducking and a diving.
 
Diving? Yeah. :D :D
Ah well, one of the trials of getting older is having to deal with you young whippersnappers.......:p

:D
