Yup. A pouf is a squishy bit of shapeless nonsense that people put their backs out trying to sit in properly. A poof is short for poofter.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Yeah, thre's lots of versions of that. I still lurve "cold enough to freeze the bollocks off a brass monkey" best, though. Which is why, when the weather turns uncommon cold? It's "brass monkeys" out there.

Yup, the "brass monkeys" is a very UK riff. The cockneys use it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I love days like this, when there are so damn many damn good stories/drabbles/parts of stories posted. Great Jobs ita, Dana, Connie, Elena, Theodosia, and Plei (I hope I didn't forget anyone)
