So I sit down at the computer this morning, and go to Sunday Scribblings to check out the topic.
Kissing.
Then I wrote this:
My first kiss was at twelve. I was walking towards Columbus Avenue, and a boy named Robert ran up to me, and kissed me hard right on the lips. Then he ran away. My cheeks must have been scarlet for hours.
Then I decided to hit the search engines, and came up with the following:
VirtualKiss.com
The online kissing resource – everything from an e-kissing booth to kissing gear
hugkiss.com
Where you can create and e-mail a “kiss off” letter.
kissonline.com
Official website of the band KISS
The Internet Movie Data Base lists three movies named Kiss:
Kiss (1963) directed by Andy Warhol
Kiss (2001) – a short film directed bu Julie Anne Wight
Kiss (2006) – a short film directed by Jason Neff
I found these bits of trivia:
The longest recorded kiss took place in New York City, USA, on December 5, 2001, between Louisa Almedovar and Rich Langley. It lasted 30 hours, 59 minutes and 27 seconds.
Kissing is the name of a town in Germany between Augsburg and Munich.
and this quote:
And this quote – guess Einstein had more than one theory **wink
Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves. ~ Albert Einstein
at Wikipedia
And then I thought of several film stars I would love to kiss:
Sean Connery – when he was 007
Roger Moore – when he was The Saint
Armand Assante – when he was a Mambo King
Johnny Depp – any time
Happy Scribbling!
Frances

I agree about Armanda Assante. And Pierce Brosnan would be a nice current choice. Or Antonio Banderas.
Fun facts! Great take on the prompt.

Depp – yes! I have to remind my middle school students he’s my age! That usually grosses them out a little. The Einstein quote is great, and I had to check out some of the web sites you linked. Thanks for a great post!

Awesome trivia! The people who had the longest kiss must have had very sore lips afterwards… I can’t imagine kissing for that many hours.
