This site will be going dark

I’ve had a variety of web sites since the mid-90s, at least. I’m tired of it all. I’m not interested in keeping the subdomains going any longer. I’m not interested in creating new posts. I haven’t been for quite some time, actually, if anyone noticed. Insta is a drag. Tikky-tokky is a bore. Whatever comes along to replace them will be worse.

So long. It’s been good to know you all – some more than others.

U.S. would wipe out Canada if it conducted a Hamas-like attack, Kathy Hochul says

Now why would Canada ever invade Buffalo? For the Chip? Oh, wait, that’s Sturgis. For the medical care no American except people like Ms Hochul can afford? Ya, shure, I guess. For the oil and gas? Bwaaaahahahaha. To stay in one of Trumppo’s proppities of which  he will have to divest? Bwaaaahahahaha. Oh, I know! I know! *waves a frantic arm in the air and hopes Ms Hochul doesn’t see it as aggressive behaviour* To see Niagara Falls! No, that’s not it because anyone with half a brain knows the view is so much better from the Canadian side.

Oh, and Ms Hochul. You might pay more attention to your southern border and the hordes of people invading your nether regions.

JFC but some of those people come up with the stupidest things on the face of the earth. The country deserves Donald Trump, and I really, truly hope and dream that they will get their wish for a second term.

*sings*

Bye bye American pie…

They’re here*!

* Well, okay, they’re not really here. They’re up there. *points*

There’s even a widdle house for them to live in while they do repairs.  Who says Georgio is full of it now? Huh? Huh? Where is Q-anon when you need them? MTG and her Jewish space lasers be damned. THIS IS NEWS!

He Ran All the Way (1951)

* * * SPOILER ALERT * * *

Nervous nellie rod-man Nick/John Garfield holds up a payroll and kills a copper. To avoid the police, he takes the plunge, where he swims into Peg/Shelley Winters. Having never seen or touched a woman before, Nick almost blows it. Needy Peg relents and allows the incel to take her home, where Nick continues his charm campaign by confessing to committing the robbery while holding Peg’s family hostage. Sweaty paranoia ensues.

If you haven’t seen it, The Postman Always Rings Twice is classic Garfield. He co-starred with Lana Turner. The lipstick rolling on the floor introduces the pair. Only in film noir should they never have met.

John Garfield died too young at 39. Blacklisting and HUAC threats probably didn’t help.

Holiday Affair (1949)

Tis the season.

* * * SPOILER ALERT * * *

I was thoroughly enjoying this Christmas extravaganza until young Timmie, the wonderful little boy and star of the movie, stuck his finger into a lightbulb socket and electrocuted himself. Barely able to contain themselves, the remaining acting professionals were soon able to brush the tragedy off and carry on, regardless. R.I.P. Timmie and the fucking train set.

I hasten to add that what the purveyors of the Hayes Code forced on the producers and Janet Leigh’s breasts was horrendous. Her breasts were spread so far apart to minimize them that she couldn’t cross her arms in front of her.

Riding farther, seeing more
