Well, Phil Hall's book on Lost Films, and Pauline Tabor's Pauline's, are "in transit, but since I'm going out of town to work at my job tomorrow, I won't be able to pick them up at the public library. I won't mention that place S----- L----, and its madam, which has so annoyed some of you other ZAQBers, and am keeping my thoughts to myself. I do hope, that since Pauline's book does contain some "explicit" descriptions of things that went on in her house, that those descriptions might be of interest to at least some of you other ZAQBers. Also, Pauline, like Forry Ackerman, had some very firm moral principles, which I think some or even many of you other ZAQBers might appreciate. So, I'll start a special thead on Pauline's house on Clay Street, and hope for better success than I've had with discussing that piddly little brothel outside of Georgetown, SC, and its "uglier than sin" madam, (altho I'm not agreeing with that description unless I see a photo that confirms it). I don't think I ever did start a special thread on Pauline's Memoirs of the Madam on Clay Street, or did I? And, if I did would anyone enjoy reading such juicy stories as Pauline not hiring lesbian couples to work in her brothel, after the two girls in one lesbian couple got into a catfight, one threatening to pull the vagina of the other out by its roots?

Erm... These do not sound like happy people Billy A. AndersonAlso, a surprising lack of knowing basic human anatomy seems to be in play, here...

Drummer, give Webmaster Deeky a Barump Bump!
In her wisdom as a Madam, Pauline thought that dealing with man and woman sex was enough of a problem, (johns falling in love with her sporting ladies, and, sporting ladies falling in love with the Johns, altho it often was a one sided case of Unrequited Love, and having lesbian sporting ladies who might become attracted to the other prostitutes in her brothel, and therefore jealousy between the lesbians, she was very wary anytime that two women would show up at her house asking to work for her, and she would contact the madams at the houses where they had previously worked, to see if they were lesbian couples. Pauline admitted that, in some cases, when two women showed up asking for work, she could have unfairly turned down sporting ladies who were not lesbians, but, from her experience with that one lesbian couple, she preferred to err on the side of caution.

Quick observation: I've never engaged the services of a 'sporting lady', but I have known a few folks who made ends meet --for better or worse-- as sex workers at various points in their lives. Even for the heterosexual folks, falling in love with anybody they got to know in a business context was so far out of the picture it might as well have been orbiting the moon.
Appropriately-behaved clients might become repeat clients, and "friends" in a pretty low-depth kind of way, but that was IT. Of course, nothing is impossible. But "falling in love" seems pretty damn improbable.

But "falling in love" seems pretty damn improbable. Lemmy, since I have never been the Madam of a sporting house, so I just have to take Pauline Tabor's word as being what she saw in her experience. She said that one Sporting Lady became a favorite of a Christian Evangelist who spent two weeks in whichever town she had her house in at the time, and this lady that was the favorite of the evangelist, and he repeatedly asked for parties with, did fall in love with the evangelist. Pauline said she had to sit the sporting lady down and give her a talking to, and told her that the evangelist coudl not possibly return her love, and looked at prostitutes as some kind of lower form of life, which upset the pooor girl very much, so she snapped out of her love for the evangelist. Pauline also told of a college professor who repeatedly asked for parties with the same girl, and he fell in love with her, but she did not feel any love for him. Pauline said that is was extremely rare, and she had known of only one case where a sporting lady and one of her tricks who fell in love did have a successful marriage, and that every other time when it happened, the marriages eneded in disaster. I forget exactly when Pauline started in The Business, maybe the early 1930s and she finally retired in 1969, saying her house fell victim to urban renewal, and that other business owners who had to sell out before Pauline did, felt she was given preferential treatment by the Powers that Be in Bowling Green, Kentucky. 1969 was also the year that Miss Hazel Weisse of Sunset Lodge retired, asking the Georgetown County Sheriff for an order to close, so that she and her sporting ladies would not be arrested and prosecuted in court, and of course the Sheriff was very gracioyus in allowing her two months to finalize all of her business arrangements before serving the order to close on her.

Right now, I want the early Flying Saucer era books, the Coming of the Saucers, by Kenneth Arnold and Ray Palmer, and They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers, forget the name of that author of that one.
Flying Saucers Are Hostile by Brad Steiger and Joan Writenhour was low priced enough for me to afford.
But, the other two are very expnsive in hard copy even paperback.
I think one or both of them are available as Kindle,which I think we have discussed before.
As I understnad it, Kindle does require purchasing some software, doesn't it?

You either need a Kindle or the Kindle software on your device.

I found both of those books on Intenet Archive, and they weren't all that interesting,altough I will continue to skim over them but am not expecting much.

Hurrah! The first issue of my Fortean Times subscription finally appeared! Bonnastole and Barumpbump from the drummer. It's 2 am and coast to coast am has been on the air for 45 mins, but I've been so preoccupied with other projects that I have not had time to listen. I probably checked the schedule but have forgotten what tonights show features. Did I mention that Whitley Streeber was on last nigth's show? I'm sure I did, but not sure which thread. I would say that Internet Archive is one fantastic web page, with so many goodies, that I am going to give them a (small) donation. Getting all of that good stuff for free, I'm glad to help them out. It has really brought me all kinds of stuff I never thought I'd see. Is it CBD that is the new rage? I feel very comforted by the voice of George Noory, but I know he is just doing a shtick when he does the commercials for CBD, which sounds to me like a cure all wonder drug akin to Lydia Pinkham Vegetable Compound. Has anybody tried CBD, the Nostrum that cures whatever ails you? I'm pretty cynical and skeptical about everything in this insane world we live in, and as much as I like feeling reassured by the voice of George Noory I know he's just going thru the motions of what he has to do as host of the show,as so many others have done. Sorry to say I'm old enough to remember it, but I remember Lawrence Welk doing the commercials for Sominex sleeping aid, and my mother, who was a fan of that TV show, said it was so obvious that Mr. Welk was just reading his shtick from cue cards. No, with my not all that high IQ, I didn't catch on, just like it never occurred to me that the ole Tom Green Lookin Thing I saw on late night TV telling people about his bathroom emergency probably was Tom Green Himself. I suppose, to quote some Bobby Goldsboro song lyrics, I'm kinda dumb, and kinda smart.

PS to Dr. Kobb from the last one.
I think the foreteanna message board is very good, but I don't get there very often. I spend a lot of time thiking about things to post there, but only occassionally get around to doing it.
I must say that it is one Great message board, however.
Dr. Kobb, if you ever do visit, I'd like to see if you could tell what my character is on that board.

Hey Billy! Mighty glad to finally see my subscription begin. Not planning on visiting the Fortean Times message board, but if I ever do, I'll see if I can ID you.
As far as CBD: I ingest it the old fashioned way (smoking). Haven't tried it as an oil or other nostrum. I do find that marijuana does seem to have at least some small pain relief capabilities. Didn't notice this as much in my early years, but do indeed feel the difference when I get home from a hard day at work.
