Welcome to a new series.

Please feel free to post yourselves(but remember you may need more stamps than you expect!!).

Seriously, the theme is simply well-known people, or indeed ordinary people, doing the unexpected.

Here to start is a video link of the King of Rock N Roll(No, not Wilfred Ing!!) using his guitar-pluckin' hand for something else:-

Steve M

And here's a still, for publicity purposes.











Presume the still was for Elvis & not Janus!!


Jane Maxwell was the name of the lucky actress who's clearly enjoying every moment of her big break & Elvis delivers 14 spanks on screen. Wonder if he delivered a PROPER Good ole-fashioned spankin' after the day's shooting!


Steve M

As Steve has given us a guitar player doing some spanking I had hoped to respond with a spanking Headmaster doing some guitar playing.

Sadly I don't think the Alan Witham who diligent users of Google Images will discover doing just that on Flickr¹ is the same Mr Alan Witham currently featuring in the 'St. John's & St. Clement's School' thread here!

Note 1: I haven't linked the image in question least the owner of the Flickr account take exception to a mass of hits from this estimable Forum.

St John's and St Clements School in South London was not the proper thread for this post. This is taken from that post and somewhat modified.

Re: St. John's & St. Clement's School February 25 2009, 2:35 AM

We're getting a bit off topic here. Maybe this should be under the Moonlightin' thread. But now that is has started I'm following through. The first link is the photo that made it in time for publication in their local paper and the second is a direct link to the clip in English and the third is a bare bottom reference from a comment from the fourth posters, Robert J Maxwells, movie review. Im not sure if it was bare bottom but Im virtually certain she wasnt fully clothed. He did begin to lift the dress and that can be seen in both the video and the picture and the twelve of the best didnt sound muffled to me. The expression on the onlookers faces made it seem like it wasnt a spanking with her fully clothed. I think if there was nudity or partial nudity involved, Morel wouldn't want someone older than himself and less likely to raise eyebrows to spank Madame Orsini. A grown woman shouldn't be making such a fuss so protected over a spanking. I don't know what was more shameful!

I should have started with this entry with a photo link that wasn't on the tan her hide site. Caveat, I hope this doesn't open the flood gates to references to adult sites unworthy of this esteem Forum.

Trevor Howard, played a part of an anti-elephant hunting zealot (Morel) in French Equatorial Africa in a 1958 movie, Roots of Heaven. He reads off a sentence to spank a snobby boastful and very tall white huntress, Jacqueline Fogt (Madame Orsini). She gets thoroughly spanked on her bare bottom for having killed so many elephants. Although the spanking is mostly off screen, the purpose of the punishment was to humiliate her and to publish a picture of her spanking in the local paper. Trevor Howard said that in order to avoid misunderstanding he would call upon the oldest among them to administer the sentence, none other than veteran actor Friederic von Ledebur had the honors. He was thorough and she was just bragging about her expertise as a big game huntress. She got her comeuppance. She was screaming like a banshee and looking for an intervention but to no avail because they were armed with rifles. The two men with Juliette Greco are seen in this long link. John Huston was the director and a few years later he directed Donovan's Reef, a film that also featured a spanking. He used both scenes to put a little humor into his films.

Here we are at London Transport's Trolleybus maintenance depot in 1947. Well, at its' staff canteen.

A rare opportunity to see the Rodent Control Chief Exec moonlighting as Catering Supervisor and not inflicting extreme CP on rodents. And he's put a smile on for the camera, too!





Where was 'Elf & Safety in 1947??


Steve M

What a splendid photograph Steve! I love the way the ladies at the table and the cat are all staring intently at the photographer, but you can just sense that the cat is the only one who'd like to eat him! Inside every domestic cat there's a tiger trying to get out - but then I guess you already know that!

Blimey! I remember the 660 trolleybus, used to run from North Finchley to Hammersmith. But if one broke down, you had to wait for ages until a man came along with a pole to take the current-collecting trolley off the wires, so that the others behind could pass.

And it was a man, too: not sure what all those women are doing maintaining trolleybuses in 1947. Or maybe they're the canteen ladies?

ALAN

According to the book's text, the Trolleybus maintenance staff were nearly all women & that's some of them in the canteen.

The canteen staff were all women too & that is remarked on as more unusual than the maintenance staff.

From my other transport books (hundreds!) a quick scoot round last night suggests trolleys were fairly low maintenance and the engines weren't over-complicated, either, so it may be skilled mechanics weren't as essential in maintaining them as with Routemaster buses etc.

As long as the women weren't required to reverse them in confined spaces, we may have been OK-and there weren't too many supermarkets then, either!

I can only remember going through East Ham way on family holidays in the 1950's & very early 60's and being fascinated by the overhead catenary. However,during my first two years at MGS they still had trolleys & I used to catch one up to school from the Maidstone & District garage after my 3-mile bus journey from Aylesford.

Unfortunately, in 3N, I discovered smoking & the Bastard took over as Head, so I then started walking up via the backstreets slowly in the mornings.

A_L

Yes, we have one or two that must have THEIR photo taken at all costs. I just love the way that cat's hogged the picture, as only a cat can.


Steve M

This Rodent Control moonlighter didn't live up to expectation and suffered the consequence

KETTA

That's what I call a purr-vert!

For God's sake don't let Teacherswhopaddle see it!


Steve M

This purr-version (thank you Steve) is obviously very wide-spread. Putting 'cat spanking' into YouTube search gives 422 hits as of tonight.

However, anyone tempted to try it on their pet should read the cautionary comment by J4N15 on the video posted by Ketta. I can't repeat it here as larry1951 will object, but let's just say the cat expressed its annoyance!

Steve M, "For God sake don't let teacherswhopaddle see this." The four elementary school teachers asked for comments from this esteem Forum. They could have just ignored this site so if you have something to say I suggest you read their February 21st post where they review their guidelines for feedback. Wouldn't it be better if you granted their request and address them directly rather than through this forum? They are more than capable of handling themselves and don't need me to come to their defense so read what they wrote about BE NICE, like Rodney King said, can't we all just get along? For God sake walk a mile in their shoes.

Be NICE.

We understand that the issue of paddling in school bring out a strong emotional response and bad feelings in people. But we are NOT ogres! Remember: We have feelings too. We all have families and live routine, normal (But sometimes hectic) lives with the normal ups and downs like everyone else. The only difference is that our jobs revolve around 7 to 11 year olds eight hours a day with only a 25 minute lunch break -when not also monitoring the cafeteria! And the last thing we think about is using the paddle -Which is a last resort for us!

American Way, I fear that you and the British sense of humour do not co-exist very easily!

The bottom link leads you to a rare color photo of a famous Elvis spanking scene that was shot in Hawaii in 1961 where and when Barack Obama was born, what an unspoiled island it was back then. Maybe someone can post the picture like the black and white one. I still have trouble doing it when it seems like I'm blocked. She looks like she is laughing in the color one so maybe that was one that didn't make it. Getting some three dozen hard slaps from the King of Rock she must have been hirting, no wonder she was sitting on a pillow the next morning. She got wet but she got just the opposite of a head cold. It must have made for a hard horseback ride if you recall.

In a press interview with Jennie Maxwell (the actress, who played the spoiled Ellie Corbett in Blue Hawaii before she was tragically shot to death along with her husband just before she celebrated her 40th birthday in a robbery) said in a press interview that Elvis spanked her three times for this shoot. She recalled her dress was wet because of her character having tried to have drowned herself when Presley took her over his knee. She also mentioned that because of the wet clothing, it was like being spanked without clothes. She mentioned her bottom was very red and sore for hours following the spanking -- each take involved ten to twelve hard swats to her bottom. She was 19 at the time and got along with Presley during the filming of "Blue Hawaii"; she had no desire to endure another spanking from Presley. Jenny and her husband were gunned down during a robbery in June, 1981. She was barely 40 years old.

Does she look like she is laughing? Maybe it was only the first take? Scroll to the right and it's scan 27.

Another_Lurker,

Could you possibly send again the link to the large colour picture? I am having difficulty embedding it.

Maybe this may prove helpful?



http://fesseur.blogspot.com/2009/03/blue-hawaii.html

Thank you. My colleague, Goggle Box, who seems to know about these things, tells me that it is a publicity still.

Addendum. A woman friend of mine is an Elvis collector and I downloaded a print of the small photo because it was less obscured by the logo. Unless my French failed me. Je soupçonne chez ce dernier une bonne dose de mauvaise foi et sûrement une passion cachée pour imposer à la jeune Jenny (20 ans) six fessées consécutives. It said 6 times and not 3 times and implied that it was not for authenticity sake but that Elvis liked it that way because he enjoyed it, not surprisingly surmised given the nature of the adult content site. Given the plot, Elvis should be smiling because she was a thorn in his side and she did need her comeuppance for acting like a spoled brat. I'm sure they would say she enjoyed it too, which I sincerely doubt given by her expression in the movie. The color photo of her smiling came from a Yahoo group, so it could have been a posed publicity photo taken prior to the spanking or a post spanking photo, presumably, if after six takes, some time later. It could indeed be just a painful expression that looks like she's laughing which is why I asked the question in the first place.

Research Assistant 2, please accept my apologies. I realised in the small hours that you wouldn't be able to move my post from the 'Those Honorary Life Members...' thread to this thread because the link was embedded. Thank you for making the effort. Sadly this is the earliest I've been able to get back on the machine to put matters right.

I can't use the link American Way has given you above. My security software says the site contains harmful content and won't let me open the link. I originally found the picture via an image search, and although it appears to be on the same site I can link directly to the picture without any complaints from my system. Here is the direct link in case anyone else has the same problem.

A_L

Thanks-it's pleasant to see 2 dedicated young professionals warming to the task at hand!

And enjoying themselves at work!


Steve M

Hi Steve. Good to see you back, I was a little concerned that you weren't going to be here for April 1st! As regards the picture, I agree entirely with your sentiments. Had I realised that that sort of thing went on in films I might have made an effort to widen my cinema attendance. There certainly wasn't anything like that in 'Touching The Void' which was the last film I saw!

Everyone. Sorry, my mistake, my link to the 'Blue Hawaii' colour picture above isn't on the same site as the American Way link, which is presumably why I can link to it without my security software protesting. I don't know if it is the same image but it appears to correspond with what American Way is discussing.

Interesting that the picture is reversed from the b&w shot Steve has provided above. Elvis appears to be concentrating on the job in hand in both shots, and who wouldn't with an assignment like that! However in the b&w shot I'd say the young lady, either by acting ability or by real reaction, has the facial expression to be expected of one being soundly spanked. This suggests to me that it may be a screen grab from the film, if indeed, as American Way says, she really was spanked. In the colour shot I've linked she is, I would say, most certainly smiling. This could be because it is a posed publicity shot as Research Assistant 2 suggests. Alternatively she may have started to enjoy the spanking!

A_L

Have had another look at the clip with which I started the thread. It looks suspiciously like one long take from the same camera after Elvis decides on his course of action.

No guarantee, but I suspect if that's the case, American_Way is right & it was for real. It may just be that the director told them it would have to be that way, simply because that movie, like any other Elvis film, was shot on the cheap, so there could only be one take.

No wonder they both enjoyed it-Jenny isn't exactly putting up much of a fight on screen anyway! Well, it's a difficult job, and someone had to do it, and Elvis did it well.

As I was only 9 at the time, I don't think I could have done as well as I later found I could. And definitely not in one take, even in my prime-suspect I might have fluffed my "lines" 3 or 4 times!

And, I'd better be honest, I remember seeing it when it came out. And that's the only scene that's stayed in the memory bank for 48 years.

Wonder why?


Steve M

Hi Steve. I can't watch the video, more's the pity. It needs the Adobe Flash browser plug-in which I daren't risk on my systems. It's far too buggy and prone to exploits and attacks. I've got easy and safe ways around that for several video sites, but not yet for SevenLoad where that video is.

You've got me wanting to see it now though so when I've got time I'll have a look behind the scenes there and see if I can lift the video by some other means.

Would it help seeing the video on this site, I even think it's clearer.

http://fesseur.blogspot.com/2009/03/blue-hawaii.html

Hi American Way. Thank you for trying to help, but as I said in my post above at 20:03 on 31 March, my security software says that site contains harmful content and won't let me open the link. Probably absolutely nothing, false positives are the bane of security systems, but I can't afford to take the risk. Stuff off my computer goes to several people and I wouldn't be very popular if I passed any malware on.

This site as was my February 25th link is a veritable mine as it was for the Trevor Howard posting. Here is the scene in both English and German and like the other movie there is a good photo and plot summary as well. I hope this, unlike the other blog site, will work. Sorry, if I wasn't helpful.

Oh dear.

From the US cover for the single release from Blue Hawaii:-








Doesn't look it was all fun & games after all! Maybe Elvis was wistful about not following through with young Jenny Maxwell apres-shoot! Or was it just the pineapple daquiris were made with sour cream?

Cheer up, mate-only another 3 films & you'll be playing the most unconvincing Mexican fisherman ever, missing out on Stella Steven's golden globes, and STILL finding the time to regale us with the masterpieces "Thanks To The Rolling Sea", "We're Coming In Loaded" AND the immortal "Song of The Shrimp".


Steve M

I's hijacked this thread briefly.

'E been bombarded with requests for it(so 'E says!), so here's the King & Song of The Shrimp!!

Personally, I loikes eatin' 'em, not singin' about 'em! But then, Stella Stevens don't distract me as I do so!



Louis Cat-Ors

Elizabeth Allen, in the below link, was too young to be John Waynes fiancé so her spanking was a comedic diversion unlike the Maureen OHara and John Wayne scene in McClintock that had no innuendos, Donovans Reef ill became two legends, some say John Ford was in his dotage and soon Wayne perished from lung cancer. 46 years ago a cinema spanking could be considered an innocent comedic diversion but alas no longer. Maybe some readers from this estimable Forum remember this scene from their youth, like the Roots of Heaven clip it is in German and English here is Donovan's Reef.

http://tanherhide.blogspot.com/2008/11/cinema-friday-donovans-reef-1963.html



The review below said it best: If we just write this one off as Ford and Wayne looking for an excuse to drink rum in the South Seas and waste celluloid with Paramount's money, then the whole thing makes much more sense.

The couple had been married for barely two years when Dyan Cannon filed for divorce. In a packed courtroom she testified that Grant frequently criticized her, spanked her, and even went so far as to lock her in her room. (In a fit of anger Grant once told a friend, ''I'm going to break her like a pony.'')

There is a picture of happier times with their baby daughter Jennifer, a star of her own right in prime time television. Last August Jennifer, the baby in the photo, at 43, had a baby boy named Cary Benjamin Grant.

Boy, does that make me feel old!!! I remember that from my school days.

I broke up the links to maintain the standard width of the screen. The bottom link is from a column published in May by a renowned humorists Art Buchwald in May of 1968 that I thought, although off topic, may be of interests to some. He was just trying to break her like a pony the American Way.

Simply Google: Linseed vs. Linseed ruling of 1949 judge and ignore the last two line link and voila. Cary Grant's lawyer argued from a 1949 precedent that he could legally spank her for certain reason and in a certain manner. LMAO.



Jennifer looks a lot like her Mom in two line penultimate link. Cary Grant's lawyer argued from a 1949 precedent that he could legally spank her for certain reason and in a certain manner. LMAO.

I hope this makes it easier to enjoy.

Strange things are happening tonight. Not only have I got bold text where I didn't intend it in another posting but I thought I posted a note to American Way in this thread asking him to have a look in Computing Corner, where I've had another go at trying to solve his long link problem evident above. I also thought that I was logged in at the time I posted in this thread 'cos I seem to remember deleting my email address before pressing the 'Respond!' button!

There is of course a possibility that I imagined both the logging in and the posting, but if I only imagined the former, and the original post turns up later, my apologies for any duplication.

Circumvented as mentioned in Computer corner, Jennifer does look like their daughter doesn't she? Google: "ruling linseed vs linseed 1949 judge" and think the way they did in 1949, then the way people began to think around the time of their divorce in 1968 and look what we have now. Change isn't always for the better.

Pardon the repeat.

I did the Garfield posting as instructed and this is what came up. Bedtime for Bonzo.

American Way, you've oh so very nearly made me a very happy man! Your new-style links above would have worked but for one teeny little problem. Please see the 'Computing Corner' thread one more time and you'll have the answer to links 10,000+ characters long, if you should ever need to post one!

Apropos to the Clark vs. Cannon divorce, sixty years ago during the Linseed vs. Linseed 1949 ruling spanking a wife wasn't as charged with sexual significance to judge by this national Chase & Sanborn Coffee and Van Heusen shirt advertisement in 1960 then came National Lampoon 1975 Cover and now look how politically correct we are? What a change in ethos? I'm not sure if I'm pushing the envelope of the guardians of this esteem Forum. However familiar this drawing is I want to abide by the rules. Forgive me I am getting a bit off topic unless someone was spanked by a slide ruler.

Amazing, it is indeed a slide rule! I must dig mine out, it's somewhat heavier than the one in the picture!

For the benefit of some readers across the pond National Lampoon was a popular parody magazine. The September 1975 cover is enshrined in a museum and is now deemed worthy to be enshrined in our archives.

For the benefit of our younger readers the slide ruler is like a hand held calculator but is of little avail when grading on the sliding scale. The tweedy professor had little use for scaling according to gender and in that he sense was on the cutting edge.

Off topic, but my thanks to American Way for the slide rule links. Amazing as it may seem to younger readers, I, and doubtless some other visitors here, didn't own an electronic calculator until I was in my 30's. Right through school and tertiary education it was slide rules for any personal calculations too heavy for mental arithmetic and too urgent to wade through logarithm tables. Even when I started work on mainframe computers with one of the UK's largest organisations the only 'personal' calculators provided by my employer were huge mechanical PLus Adders which had keyboards that only went up to 5! With a little ingenuity it was possible to do multiplication and division on them, though I'm blowed if I can remember how!

classroom thrashing

Forgive my sophomoric humor but this is somewhat unique. Synopsis under oldest spanking.

Does anyone remember Uschi Glas over there? I enjoyed this clip from 1968? It brings back James Bond days. You have to put the previous video (class thrashing) in context to understand and appreciate the times.
