Holy Grail?

Not a problem. Heck, I'll take whatever's going.

@jack-dodds, I fear that our precious Starla may be experiencing a chill!

Gosh I do see the mother-daughter resemblance now.  Starla's mother, stage name Milky Weigh, used to headline down at The Hungry Heifer Tavern; she subcontracted there under her company name Bent Pole Productions.  Sadly she was forced into retirement due to an unfortunate ceiling collapse.  Last I heard she was doing "before" ad pics for Jenny Craig.

And just a late follow-up to the Tesla painting topic (sorry, it took me a little time to put it together)

@jack-dodds Jack, you have me laughing out loud....Milky Weigh, Hungry Heifer Tavern, Bent Pole Productions, eh?

@graeme-ogg LOL !!!  OMG Graeme you nailed it!

Jack, glad you enjoyed it. Seems to have passed by un-noticed otherwise but I am slightly concerned that behind the scenes JK may be busy preparing legal proceedings regarding the unauthorised use and digital manipulation of a personal image for the purposes of character defamation.

I know you wield a good deal of influence in forum administrative circles and I was hoping you might want to pass on a quiet word on my behalf that no actual malice was intended. I was just taking the piss, basically, and litigation might be viewed as an over-reaction by peace-loving forumites. Thanks.

And say hello to Starla for me while you're there.

@graeme-ogg I have done some quiet digging on your behalf Graeme and am pleased to be able to alleviate your concerns.  JK is delighted with the Pepto Bismol-Bile 2-tone interior and his pictoral inclusion; to the point that he has been busy having posters, calendars, mugs and T-shirts made portraying it which, between you and I, he plans to autograph and market...a la Carroll Shelby.  Elon was going to be a co-signer but apparently isn't returning JK's calls after viewing the picture color samples.  I dropped by Starla's apartment but there was just a note tacked to her door; something about having gone on a romantic adventure abroad.

Oh, jolly good. Now I can relax. At least until Starla calls to be picked up from Heathrow and asking if a 10 foot long solid titanium pole and its half ton cast iron pedestal will fit in the back of my Vauxhall Corsa. I doubt it. May have to get out the horse-drawn Trabbi.

@graeme-ogg Far be it for me to advise you on an initial overture to best impress our Starla but I daresay the clip clop of hooves echoing through the rear half of a 1-HP Trabant SS Demi-Coupe, while shrouded in equine methane is an outstanding and unique ice breaker.  Either through this effect or as the result of hearing your smooth approach, the lass will be left misty-eyed.  Best of luck Graeme....you are a lucky man!

So 8675309 was ‘spread’ across two name tags ?

@100ford2003 There was a rumor some years ago that Tommy Tutone was Starla's father....I mean the sky was the limit with Milky Weigh back in her prime.
