It has been done all over the globe, time and again; each time to great success for the very concept is so unlike any other mere on-stage performance...And now it is has been adapted into <a href="http://www.proteacher.org/c/874_family_literacy_nights.html">all languages</a>, <a href="http://redtri.com/san-francisco/literary-pajama-party/">all cultures</a>, and to benefit <a href="http://www.booksinc.net/event/pajama-party-literary-mamas-books-inc-laurel-village">all sorts</a> of worthwhile causes too. <br />
<br />
Take, for instance, the example of this one that we've attended recently, on a still-cold-as-hell night of February: held at a venue known as the <a href="http://www.cabaretliondor.com/liondor/fr/index.asp?page=11&evenement=2511&AnneeMoisJour=2014-02-07">Lion D'Or</a>...<br />
<br />
That old-style, on the smallish side, ''traditional'' cabaret which tries, through its variety of staged shows and events, to keep the tradition of the classic cabarets of auld alive and well - <i>well</i> into the twenty-first century...! This ''Golden Lion'' here is achieving just that and, along with other lions to be found on this northern islet of all manners of urban pollution (and they are the <a href="http://cafehumblelion.com/">Humble Lion</a>, the one found on <a href="https://vimeo.com/75235841">Mount-Royal</a> and <a href="http://www.clg.qc.ca/">Lion</a>el-Groulx college...) it is, overall, somewhat changing my opinion and views of the old <i>Mont-Réal </i>borough (in the British sense; all about certain special rights, eh)...!<br />
But that's another story...<br />
<br />
Of course, it's all in French (or Franglais - on occasion. But truth be told, this is <i>à cent mille lieues de Sugar Sammy</i>; fear not)<br />
<br />
A wide selection of authors and selected quotes are read to the few, the proud, the elite that showed up on that cold night as on other such nights before: it is all fine and dandy whenever it is about local scribes' words, read in a decidedly-<i>québécois </i>tone. However, when it comes to the fine citations of what few truly illustrious authors such as <a href="http://pensador.uol.com.br/autor/fernando_pessoa/">Fernando Pessoa</a> that were selected for this night, one wishes one could read the original text all by ourselves, without the ''help'' of these readers... It doesn't matter that you don't know Portuguese...! <br />
For <b>I </b>do... ;-)<br />
But that's another story...<br />
<br />
And speaking (figuratively, quite evidently - duh!) of which, it irks the pundits in the crowd (oh, my; there were so few of us there!) when they overpronounce the vowels in a name: it's <i>Pessoa (Pessoo-a, with a barely audible ''a'' at the end; and don't anybody dare jokingly infer there's ''pissou'' in there or I... não sei o que é vou fazer...!) </i>not <i>Pess-ô-ah</i>... <i>mas que porra mesmo</i>! Desculpa... And speaking of <i>that - </i>overindulging in Oscar Wilde quotes that have nothing to do with the theme of the evening, just to keep the crowd awake, interested, stimulated (...) or simply excite it (!) seems to, well, cheapen the overall purpose of the exercise (which was to <a href="http://www.aubergeletournant.org/">generate funds for an organization</a> that specializes in helping out the despaired and derelict on the islet in question - six months at a time. Six months/one evening; seems like not even remotely close to being enough in order to deal with the calamity of a ''nation'' plagued by one of the world's highest suicide rate amongst young males anywhere; but, as we'll repeat further down in this piece, it is certifiably better than doing absolutely nothing at all.)<br />
<br />
The readers, perhaps molded after or handpicked according to previous models of the sort found <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095511/">here</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0976051/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_11">there</a> in<i> la Francophonie</i> and beyond, are adequate, nothing more - alas, not spectacular. One had hoped to hear something far more lively than the old <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Nuit_de_la_po%C3%A9sie_27_mars_1970">Nuits de Poésie</a> recitals... Not so. Perhaps it has a little something to do with that <i>Québécois </i>accent of theirs...? To be honest, they all have it but two: Winston McQuade, it is a testament to him, bears no accent at all (not even an English one, which one might think would be the case due to his name and ancestry) while Kim Thuy also an adopted national, quite obviously, has, somehow, an <i>International French </i>stance that is much in-sync with my very own...! The rest of the ''reading cast'' (see the ''official'' menu below this dew - it is all <u><a href="http://youtu.be/68ugkg9RePc">blue</a></u>! You can't miss it: though it misses the name of one <a href="http://www.davidgoudreault.org/">David Goudreault</a>, slam poetry specialist <i>made in Quebec</i> and last-minute addition...) is obviously all ''Québécois Pure Laine'' - and if, outside of the area or, even, simply off the islet, no one has any idea who Winston is (former TV host and cultural aficionado) or Kim (an author) it goes at least ten-fold for the rest of them, from Claudia to the one credited with ''the idea'' here, Alain... The former has been known for her love of books for the longest time; she even authors them, too. She doubles as a journalist who frequently involves herself in <a href="http://www.guidemtlnord.com/Vie-de-quartier/Changeons-le-monde/2012-09-06/article-3069467/Treizieme-edition-de-la-campagne-nourrir-un-enfant/1">good deeds</a> of the sort. The latter (with a name such as <i>Labonté </i>- for goodness' sake!) is a <a href="http://www.hebdosregionaux.ca/centre-du-quebec/2013/04/29/en-10-questions-2">philanthropist</a> and <a href="http://www.labontecommunications.ca/fr/services/index.html">entrepreneur</a>, who loves to write too. Laudable, all around, absolutely (which entirely legitimizes the simulpost here as well as, originally, on <a href="http://literatiluminosi.blogspot.ca/2014/02/the-lpp-will-let-it-be.html">THAT blog</a> over there!) but, oftentimes, such efforts go completely ignored - just as the notoriety of each reaches a negligible percentage of the masses out there...<br />
<br />
They do say that <i>nul n'est prophète dans son pays,</i> however...<br />
<br />
They still gathered all together for a good cause, which is so honorable indeed; with the entire exercise judiciously ornamented, also, by musical pauses inserted exactly at the right time - which is, basically, whenever a succession of odd quotes has been read out loud leaving the inquiring minds in the audience wondering ''why in blue heavens did they choose <i>that </i>over, well, millions of other possibilities, really...?'' But that's another story - yet again.<br />
<br />
Instead of a rather mindless quote from either one of them reformed ''vagrants'' or well-known sources of witticisms in writ (Oscar Wilde, Bernard Pivot, Socrates himself) it would have perfectly been suitable here to have included actual poetry, true lyricism from former homeless men who have been ''discovered'' for their way with words and given the chance to exploit their God-given talents, at long last. One or two very famous examples come to mind: most notably, this one <a href="http://www.lifebuzz.com/homeless-man/">right here</a> who rose from his ashes like the proverbial phoenix after a long descent into purgatory ended when he was salvaged from it by a mere passerby: maybe the name will ring a bell? It is Raimundo Arruda Sobrinho. The passerby, Shalla Monteiro, did much more than help him out for a maximum of six months as those <i>''intervenant(e)s'' du Tournant </i>do; she set up <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ocondicionado">a Facebook page</a> for the man so that his poetry would get to be read not just for one night either and not only one or two lines of it, but all of it, all the time. Even the peeps behind <a href="http://www.facebookstories.com/10">facebookstories.com</a> were so impressed (they have to be happy to see such kind of free publicity arise virtually out of nowhere: what a comforting thought to learn that social media, especially their brand of social media, can be used to attain such heights, change someone's life, all for the very best?) and the amazing story has been circulated around ever since. I cannot believe that Kim, Alain and the rest did not find a single quote from Raimundo's writings to be <i>''percutant''</i> here, and they'd rather quote Plume Latraverse and Woody Allen - three times! It is probably true, too, that the customer-base of that Tournant place is not as literally-gifted as Sr Sobrinho<b>;</b> they have other talents that need nurturing and, within a six-month timeframe, it needs to be done FAST... There are follow-ups though; but that might be hardly enough. Oh well; it is not our focus of attention here today...<br />
<br />
It is difficult to choose which siren was the most well-suited or a joy to listen to with this event, as far as the accompanying singing voices go: <a href="http://youtu.be/X-eMQKm6EbI">Coral Egan</a>'s voice is clearly the better one, however <a href="http://youtu.be/4PXr57UFZ0M">Mara Tremblay</a>'s lyrics seemed to fit the bill on another level - and not just because they were in French either. A guitarist was on hand just to play along as the readers were doing their thing: that helped immensely, at times (again, the choice of quotes was not always so judicious... Music salvaged the moment... But we're repeating ourselves now, are we not? That's a definite no-no for an LPP...!)<br />
<br />
And so <b>LP</b> left the <b>LPP</b> a tad disillusioned with such events overall: for they are but a drop in the ocean of sorrows that they are trying to sponge out. It is, of course, better than doing nothing at all. We departed the Lion D'Or voicing our concern and wish that other, age-old charitable organizations could be so... inventive themselves. One comes to mind immediately: the KofC. Ah, if only they were so enthused to combine arts and chivalry, charity and literary wit, what a wonderful, wondrous fundraiser it could be...? But that's another story - one last ''other one'' yes! Thanks to Marie-Noelle for making us know about this soirée and listening intently, at the end of it - and to Isabelle, for pretending to listen for the littlest of whiles, too! (More on that - in the comments section!)<br />

<span style="background-color: blue;"><strong> </strong>Le <strong>vendredi 7 février 2014</strong> à<strong> 21h </strong>au<strong> Lion d’Or </strong>à <strong>Montréal</strong> aura lieu un événement inédit : <em><strong>PARTY PYJAMA LITTÉRAIRE</strong></em> avec les auteurs <strong>Kim Thuy, Claudia Larochelle </strong>et <strong>Alain Labonté. </strong>À cette occasion, <strong>Winston McQuade</strong>, la poète <strong>Janick Belleau, </strong><strong> </strong> et les chanteuses <strong><a href="http://youtu.be/IoXRJLZ30xg">Coral Egan</a></strong> et <strong>Mara Tremblay </strong>s’ajouteront à la distribution. <strong>Céline Lamontagne</strong> assurera la mise en scène.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: blue;">Dans une formule cabaret et une ambiance chaleureuse, ce <em><strong>PARTY PYJAMA LITTÉRAIRE </strong></em>sera<em><strong> </strong></em>un moment unique où la littérature sera à l’honneur. Vêtu d’un pyjama, un verre à la main, le public n’aura qu’à se laisser bercer. Dans des textes tantôt connus tantôt inédits, chacun se verra transporter dans <em><strong>l'univers de la jeunesse</strong>, <strong>de l'utopie de la différence et de la proposition de vivre autrement</strong>. </em>Plusieurs segments littéraires seront<em> </em> enrobés par des chansons qui nous plongeront au cœur des thèmes proposés.<em></em></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: blue;"><em>*Cette idée un peu folle de passer une soirée en pyjama, à découvrir des textes et de nouveaux auteurs, nous est venue il y a environ une année. Et quand on a une idée dans la tête! Laisser la voix porter les mots jusqu’à soi : N’est -ce pas apaisant et magique? </em> de dire Kim.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: blue;">*Et puisque les gens ont l’habitude de lire avant de se mettre au lit, cette fois-ci, nous nous chargerons de leur faire la lecture et de les conduire aux portes de certaines réalités qui touchent chacun de nous, très près ou de loin. Les sujets abordés les emporteront assurément dans des images émouvantes* de souligner Claudia.</span></div>

Kudos to Catherine for going out of her way to ferret out new and most candid interview objects: er, subjects, I mean to type (one has got to be careful what one types lest the NOT-SO-GLAAD ONES will come down on our cases with false accusations here...!) - it is laudable, most certainly (unless it wouldn't be featured here - duh!) <b>but still...</b><br />

A proud CPC presentation - not CBC! But the French equivalent of it, actually! And, actually, there is no CPC; not in broadcasting, anyways! ''CPC'' here stands for ''Catherine Perrin Complet'' of course: which means to say that our hostess here, Mrs. Perrin, has no more room left for any additional ''friends'' on FACEBOOK. Maybe she'll clear some room for new ones now... HMM?<br />

<br />
After all, we have all heard about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Malachy">St. Malachy's prophecies</a> on this subject: haven't we?<br />
They've been back in the news lately, of course - and so, from <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/holy-smoke-is-this-final-pope-before-jesus/">mainstream</a> <a href="http://www.catholic.org/international/international_story.php?id=49727">news</a> to the <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Global-Issues/2013/0313/Habemus-Papam-No.-In-the-meantime-more-papal-speculation">usual</a> <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/pope-francis-historys-final-pontiff/">suspects</a>, everyone is suddenly interested all over again in what an Irish monk envisioned some 900 years ago. And a Belgian Jesuit theologian and academic revisited some 60 years ago. And some others have sounded the warning <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/bestselling-author-predicted-popes-resignation-4-95-today-only/">horn</a> about, since then...! But we're getting too far ahead of ourselves here!<br />
<br />
This one should therefore be the final pope - the one that will try to hold it all together as everything falls apart around him and the Holy See: the one who will see the Seven Hills in flames, as a certain Nero had wanted and certain other interpretations of St. Malachy's words lead to believe. Only, this time, it will burn to a crisp beyond repair: and the only one who can repair it all is the Awe-Full Judge Himself. Luckily, the tumultuous papacy of this last pope of all will lead straight to just that: the return of Christ and the Final Judgment. So, those bastards who will burn us Christians up, this time, won't wait too long to pay for it - <b>really hard</b> and for all eternity! Say <i>amen! </i><br />
<br />
There were so many candidates for this prophetized very last pope: as the conclave's voting dragged on (although ''dragging on'' is a gross exaggeration when we're merely talking about <b>two</b> sessions that resulted in an inconclusive vote tally and the dreaded sign of that: black smoke coming out of the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel! It's not like it was taking weeks and months, as some decisions in a court of law -but never-justice-or-almost-never-because-we-should-never-say-never--right?- can easily take; if not <b>years</b>! But we are digressing again...) and so the list of ''top five most probable papable (not to be confused with palatable) candidates'' got extended to ten... twelve... fifteen... twenty! And there were only 115 cardinals to choose from...! My faves even got mentions, as it dragged on (Boston's own, <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/content/search?SearchText=Sean+O%27Malley">Cardinal Sean O'Malley</a>. But then, New York's <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Timothy+Dolan">Cardinal Timothy Dolan</a> got a nod, too. Italian candidates are many, as usual, but Cardinal Angelo Scola had to be my pick for most original: what, with his latest book on feminism and the theory he elaborated in it - just priceless. Brazil's Cardinal Odilo Pedro Scherer has got to be on top of my list, too; falamos Português, o que é que queres? Deus É Português! OK - vamos ver... But where are the Portuguese Cardinals in all this, then? A nation that has had privileged contact with the Virgin Mary Herself <b>has got to have someone worthier-than-worthy to access the papacy! </b>Same goes for the French - alas. However, the same does not apply for their derivatives: Marc Ouellet, of Quebec City, was only a red herring in this conclave, really... And, quite frankly, so were every other candidate named ''Peter'' in one way or another - meaning first name or second, and in whatever variant too. Never mind that St.Malachy named the last pope ''Peter The Roman'' - when he reached the last one, he ran out of ideas, that's it! And besides, when you end something, you want to go <i>back to basics</i> - right? )<br />
<br />
But, actually, this elitist method of electing a pope is extremely restrictive and, if the Church (as it wants to be represented, with the capital C marking that it is THE one and only true church founded by Jesus-Christ Himself; the one He built upon his ''rock,'' Peter or Peter's tomb really... More digression upon this later on, maybe...! If the Roman Catholic Church, hence...) wants to survive, it has to break the dusty-old mold and embrace the faithful masses it has left. Renewal through this way implies, ironically enough, going back to proven archaic methods: and, no, we do not mean exorcism rituals, inquisitions leading to burnings at the stake or further inaugurations of good old-fashioned witch hunting seasons again! No, rather, we mean the voting process - a democratic voting process: and, imagine that, in the good old days, ANYBODY COULD BE ELECTED AS THE NEXT POPE! It was sort of like the same criteria for being let into the Knights of Columbus, basically: you're a professed Catholic? You're in! Whether you practice or don't practice, it doesn't really matter anymore nowadays: all that matters is that you have been baptized as one such! Hence, in the proceedings that are of interest to us here these days, opening up the vote ballots so that ANY AND ALL CANDIDACIES for the pole position of ''His Holiness'' CAN AND WOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION is the democratizing way to go <b>if</b> you want to get the rest of the masses interested, too: that is, the non-practising Roman Catholics by birth, those who seldom visit a church anymore, the curious, maybe even the agnostic and, ultimately, the wretched atheist, too! We wouldn't even have to stop there: while we're at it, we could welcome back the anathema, blasphemers and all the rest of the damnable but not quite beyond salvation (as long as there's life, there is hope - right?) alphabet, compendium and lot!<br />
<br />
Basing ourselves upon workable governmental models right here in North America (we give you two choices: Canada's or the USA's! What - you wanted the European model? Not a good idea these days!) the Vatican could have done this right there, the moment old Ben (Benedict XVI) resigned! Candidates are announced - and they are a whole lot more than what we had (see picture below) and we follow this with INTERNET VOTES BEING CAST FROM ALL FOUR CORNERS OF THE WORLD - THE ENTIRE CHRISTIAN WORLD (pardon - Catholic world!) GIVING THEIR OPINION ON WHO THEY WANT AS AN INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN THEM AND THE ALL-MIGHTY CREATOR AND GOD OF THE UNIVERSE! After one round, those candidates with enough votes move on to the second round of votes and so on - until the final round, with the cardinals - the Conclave - acting as a House of Representatives, a Senate or both and putting the final stamp of approval on THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE! <br />
<br />
After all, what the People wants is what God Wants - right, er, people?<br />
It has to be - otherwise, God Would not have allowed us to multiply like rabbits and get to the point where we are reaching, overall, the mind-staggering number of seven billion souls now...!<br />
And God ALL-MIGHTY Would not have given us FREE WILL either!<br />
If God Had not wanted us to reach this point, He Would Have Sent His Angels down to smite the sinners, annihilate those that blaspheme His Name, not to mention those who commit untold evil quite secretly, ever-so sneakily, and all in <i>the other guy's name</i>...!<br />
<i>À Bon Entendeur... salut! Et va au diable, tant qu'à y être...!</i><br />
<br />
Oh - wait a second - that is exactly all that is to come - after the election of this <b>Final Pope</b>!<br />
Every evil dude there is left - and even those who have long croaked in their own vomit and/or feces - will get theirs BIG TIME - and then some! <b>For the Day of Reckoning is approaching! </b><br />
And, quite frankly, it had been approaching with each and every Conclave... each and every knave, moving on the chessboard of Life... each and every sinner moving inexorably towards his or her own predestined fate! Pre-destined by Whom? My, but by the Creator, of course! You can only blame yourselves though: you had Free Reign and Freedom of Choice: but He Knew what choice you were going to make before you even thought of making it...! But we are digressing once more - HUGE TIME.<br />

Or do we have another one left? Judging from the last ten we've had, it really could be anything, anyone's guess before we find out that this election is the prophesied one or not. And that means it could take anything between 33 days to 26 and 1/2 years!<br />
But we have it on good authority that this is the FINAL ANSWER... er, Papa! Papam? Whatever language you choose to say it in: this is it, yeah! <br />
With Saint Malachy as the chief source, it has been the subject of many theorems that <u>all</u> fit in perfectly with endtime prophecy, the Book of Revelation and even what the Jehovah's Witnesses believe! We're not kidding you, folks: <b>this is the big one! The Pope to end all popes! </b>And he hails from... Argentina? Who could have imagined...<br />

That Belgian Jesuit theologian and academic that we mentioned before? His name is <a href="http://endoftheage.blogspot.ca/2013/03/jesuit-priest-predicted-end-of.html">René</a> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/JesusToMankind/posts/290684897674615">Thibault</a> (erroneously reported as ''RENE'' without the accent on the last É - typical of American press, in print or digital, it will never change! Get new keyboards, you lazy bumrats! But we are digressing - <b>again</b>.) and the particularity of his work is that he calculated how long it would take for us to reach this point, this last pope, and he estimated the lengths of papacies being what they are (even though John-Paul The 1st was extremely short, at 33 days! The exception - that reaffirmed the rule. John-Paul The 2nd made up for that, with a very long papacy, so...) and so Thibault concluded that we'd have the last pope by... 2012. <i>How's that for precise doom and gloom, uh?</i> Close enough by any rate!<br />

More modern scribes, such as Tom Horn and Cris Putnam, have tried to piece it all together and come up with surefire prophecy - with names, dates and irrefutable evidence that this really is it. Unfortunately for them, their ''short list'' of ''surefire'' candidates from which THE last pope would surely be picked was just a tad too wide-ranging indeed<span style="background-color: blue;"> (here it is, <b>shrouded to boot</b>: the top three were Peter Turkson of Ghana, Angelo Scola of Italia, Tarcisio Pietro Evasio Bertone, born in Romano, Italia (!) and they were followed by</span><span style="background-color: blue;"> </span><span style="color: white;"><b><span style="font-family: Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="background-color: blue;"> Francis Arinze of Nigeria; Gianfranco R</span><span style="background-color: blue;">avasi of Italy, the president of the pontifical council for culture; Leonardo Sandri of Argentina, the prefect of the congregation for the oriental churches; Ennio Antonelli of Italy, retired president of the pontifical council for the family; Jean-Louis Tauran of France, president of the pontifical council for inter-religious dialogue; Christoph Schönborn of Vienna; and Marc Ouellet of Quebec, president of the pontifical commission for Latin America. </span></span><span style="background-color: blue; font-family: Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Read more at</span><span style="background-color: blue; font-family: Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span><a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/holy-smoke-is-this-final-pope-before-jesus/#x4pvbSefSdRkQSvK.99" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgb(252, 215, 0); background-color: blue; font-family: Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/holy-smoke-is-this-final-pope-before-jesus/#x4pvbSefSdRkQSvK.99</a><span style="background-color: blue; font-family: Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> - wow, WND is good; it makes sure we go back to its site whenever we copy and paste!

WND.com (never heard of them before <b>today</b>- what does W-N-D stand for? Any ideas?) also had an interesting poll about all this, just as they were trying to push that <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/bestselling-author-predicted-popes-resignation-4-95-today-only/">PETRUS ROMANUS - THE FINAL POPE IS HERE!</a> book (paperback edition, nothing less; when I thought it might have been the e-book going) for only $4.95 - but only for today, folks! It's a Habemus Pablum special... Er... Hab-e-mum Papam... er... Habemus Papam special, of course! My question is - why didn't anyone this side of Lusitania try to peddle THE LAST POPE thriller for the occasion, too - heck, why hasn't there been a movie about this one, starring Tom Hanks, Audrey PouPouPitou Tautou, albinos, Doc Ock and Ian Mc... sorry, Sir Ian McKellen!? <br />
Anyway...<br />
<br />
Here is the poll - and have a good apocalypse everyone!<br />
It will be one bumpy ride!<br />

But STILL...What do you do when dozens of wild animals go on the loose and citizens aplenty, ill-equipped to deal with such an unexpected threat, are endangered? You apparently do as the sheriff in Zanesville, Ohio did - you put them all down. The two tragedies are not comparable, of course, but after Newtown, Connecticut, this, in Zanesville, Ohio... No comparison possible except in one aspect: both times, it was man's inept, inadequate legislature that allowed for this to happen at all. And who pays with their lives but innocents. Both times. If gun control wasn't what it is, maybe unstable people (or their mothers) wouldn't have access to multiple firearms - and the Newtown tragedy is avoided. Maybe if the state of Ohio didn't allow loons to own wild animals on top of firearms - maybe he doesn't commit suicide quite the same way and maybe this Zanesville massacre of wildlife is avoided, too.<br />
<br />
Not sure what happened in Zanesville, Ohio, exactly? Here is that trustworthy (for decades) news anchor with the most sex appeal (for decades too) of all, Diane Sawyer, to tell you all about it...<br />

These animals had no shot at life at all - if their delusional owner thought he was setting them free as one final act of goodness before blowing his brains out (which, we assume, is the way he went about it) well - he was totally out of his mind. Tigers and lions simply do not belong in Ohio. Not even the bears; in fact, none of those wild ''pets'' were prepared to live in the wild, having been fed all their lives in an enclosure, by a human caretaker. They were not going to feast on everything that moved either - but they would have listened to their natural instincts sooner than later... Other (more urban shall we say) pets would have been hunted down, then... As a matter of fact, one of the 50, a monkey, is assumed to have been devoured by one of the big cats upon their release by their deranged owner... What an animal lover he turned out to be - for, even the most deluded mind could have predicted how this ''release'' would end up, since it is most definitely not a release back into the wild but into a populated area, one that has an All-American, gun-toting, trigger-happy sheriff and all... </div>

And the ensuing carnage gave way to this most horrible of scenes, a short time after that: </div>

Animal-lovers, such as Scott Hanna, will feel this loss forevermore. Again, one does not even attempt to compare this to the loss suffered by 30-odd families just before Christmas time, further up north from there - but, in this day and age, that both of these tragedies could not be avoided simply boggles the mind. Alas, in this case, even Hanna, a true connaisseur, admits that what was done had to be done. Tranquilizer guns could not be used for so many targets - there was simply no time. Plus, the use of a tranquilizer is a tricky thing, according once again to the expert Hanna: </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></div>

"I'm sorry to say, but what the sheriff did had to be done," Hanna said. "Otherwise, we would have had carnage out here in Zanesville, Ohio. "Tragedy-wise for me," he added, "[it's] probably the worst thing in 45 years of history of working with animals. ... I've seen poachers kill in the wild. I've seen animals killed right in front of me with their horns cut off. I've seen a lot of things happen in my career, but nothing like this have I ever witnessed." Hanna said tranquilizing wild animals is not as easy as many people believe. "I've been out all over the world tranquilizing animals," he said. "Can you imagine trying to tranquilize an animal in the dark. Fine, we have a spotlight. We hit it. You don't know exactly: Did you hit a muscle? Did you hit a bone? If you hit the bone, the plunger might not work and put the medicine in. So what do we do? Then we send a veterinarian or the sheriff up there to see if the animal is down, right? What's gonna happen if the animal is just sitting there not even asleep? You're dead.""</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These animals had done nothing wrong yet, though - their only guilt was being born with wild instincts; and having been raised in some farm by an unstable, unreliable and in the end suicidal man. </div>

But we were not meant to encourage lame-o performances not even worthy of Karaoke Night At The Corner Pub, here, today... Noooooo...!<br />
<br />
Actually, when we set out to update this most laudable blog of all, we were indeed going to focus on the Memorial part of it - try and distinguish it from its Remembrance cousin - <b>and </b>praise the initiative, as we always do, but then take a step back and say something like "but... hehhhh... it still needs work!"<br />
<br />
Without further ado, hence, <i><u>let's do just that!!!</u></i><br />
<i><u><br /></u></i>
We shall do it with the unwitting assistance (but they are always up for the free publicity it gives them) of our buddies over at <a href="http://www.superherostuff.com/specials/new-merchandise.html">SHS.COM</a> - so, guys? You don't have to thank me for this, you know...<br />
<br />
Who better to embody the sheer oomph of Memorial Day other than... Kanyon?<br />
Excuse the obscure wrestling reference... Other things on my mind here...<br />
Whoo (Whooooo? Wooooo? Who) better, then, than... Captain America!<br />

Captain America - perhaps the single most patriotic of ALL super-heroes (along with the Americommando, U.S.Agent, General Glory, Major Victory, Corporal Kirchner, Sargent Slaughter, Rex, Stars And S.T.R.I.P.E.S., Guardian, Miss America, Lady Liberty, Silent Majority, Mayflower, Sparkler, Bucky, John Wayne, All-American Winner and, of course, the Ugly American!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Captain America - once the lone most effective propaganda tool to ever be devised! For nothing - absolutely <i><b>nothing</b></i> - can ever hope to be as persuasive than cheap comic-bookie fare when comes time to shape the public's mind on something and mobilize all the sheep for <b>WAR!</b> Hey - it worked in 1941; why not now, heh? Some U.S. bonds with that? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Why the unluckiest and unlikeliest of numbers for the rebate percentage that is offered there, though, bros? I am damn sure Cappo would have been more generous than that - even if he is no Uncle Sam or anything close to Santa Claus either...! But we are digressing now... </div>

Happy Birthday, Star Wars! Wow - I still remember when Artoo (or should I say, er, type R2-D2 as it should be?) was nothing but a novelty piece of hardware...! Or a walking-not-quite-talking (more like beeping) trash can...? Whatever description fits the most here...!</div>

<i><u>What a headache that Golden Age costume always was </u></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><u>- just ask <a href="http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Kingdom_Come">Alex Ross</a> about THAT -</u></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><u>and now we know the WHY of it...! </u></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><u>It was gay fashion sense all along: </u></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><u>Green Lantern Alan Scott was not only a member </u></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><u>of the Justice Society of America - </u></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><u>he was also an honorary member of </u></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><u>the Sewing Circle...</u></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Captain America and Green Lantern could have been battling Nazis together, say, in the summer of 1941 - now, with the changes planned by a certain Didiot, they could have been exchanging other things instead, say, in a revisionist's version of those tales... Because the powers-that-be at that company called a DC (...) decided that it was time to show the world how open-minded they all are: so they must have a "prominently gay hero" out there, er, flying around...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rumours are that it will be the original Green Lantern, pictured above and resurrected from the dead (either that or mothballs) just for the occasion... Hmm... If memory serves me right, Martin Nodell and Bill Finger never meant for their heroic figure to inspire anything other than the troops: but, in 2012 and beyond, DC intends it to inspire nothing less than gay pride. Various factors make him a surefire candidate for this <i>job </i>and they include rejuvenation/eternal youth, Adonis-looks, wood and a flame about this high. Don't ask for details now... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They do say that there is something undeniably gay about super-heroes overall: that tights like those that most of them wear, metrosexual nature of many of them and four-colour fashion (or lack of) sense prevalent for the majority of the characters in this genre makes them all suspects of being either gay or lesbian fools living out and fleshing out a homo-erotic <a href="http://youtu.be/9_eeH6dOswE">fantasy...</a> Suspected of this over the years have been a number of compelling characters, including Power Girl, The Huntress, Fire & Ice, Batwoman, Black Orchid, Silver Scarab, Obsidian, Rawhide Kid, Two-Gun Kid (maybe that one was bi?) and several others. Marvel went ahead and officially declared a certain Northstar gay, followed by Rawhide Kid (despite the protests of Clint Eastwood). The moment DC announced that there would be "an iconic character going gay" on their turf (the term iconic being very loosely used, yet again - but that is another story) all the old jokes about Batman being one of those resurfaced again, along with the lesbian Wonder Woman theory (hey, she <u>is</u> an Amazon - what else could or should she be?!?) and queer Hawkman, Elongated Man, Plastic Man, Hitman and X-Men as well...! But wait: the ex's are Marvel property and, besides, they already have their resident gay character there... It just had to be the (practically lone) Canadian on their roster, or rather in their X-tended family, too! (No - NOT Wolverine, do not worry!!!) So... Blame Canada...?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I seriously cannot believe these comic-book dweebs! They'd rather <a href="http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/05/20/dc-comics-to-switch-established-characters-sexual-orientation-soon/">spread the gay gene all over comic-bookies</a> everywhere and then they turn around and <a href="http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/05/28/when-the-topless-bodypaint-superheroines-were-banned-from-comic-con/">ban topless bodypainted SuperHeroines?!?</a> It makes no sense!!! One can influence towards a lifestyle of pariah depths and woes, while the other does not even titillate on the spot (or afterwards) one iota...! Devoid of any sort of consistency like that, you cannot hope to be taken seriously - do you realize that? What is it with you dweebs now...? Of course, <i>what it is</i> is that they are desperate to keep their very sub-business <b>alive </b>and thriving (no <i>throbbing</i> jokes now - please) and will go to any lengths to gather the sympathy, support and eventually devoted (they hope) following for this sort of effort, reaching out to the "untapped potential clientele" out there, fulfilling the need, for there is purported to be a "demand" for this, and so here is the offer... And almost every other gang in this fictitious business is following suit now. (Blame it on Canada indeed: that shot-in-Toronto-and/or-Vancouver TV show, <i>Queer As Folk</i>, which used to be broadcast over and over again on prominent cable network Showcase, featured one of its gays as the owner of a comic-book store! You couldn't tune into Showcase <b>for years</b>, during prime-time or, with greater reason, later on at night, and not be bombarded with commercials for this crap - and that <b>female </b>off-screen voice repeating ad nauseam that this was to be viewed ''<i>only on Showcase!</i>'' Showcase, like Showtime, was available to American viewers, too... And this, more than anything, probably influenced the dweebs at DC and MARVEL to further this trend and tap into this potential customer-base that is just waiting there, with plenty of money to spend, apparently - and this, in turn, made the dweebs that make up the powers-that-be at DC and MARVEL finally realize that spandex tights on a largely male assembly does look terribly gay!!! But we're getting side-tracked very badly now...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hopefully none of this puts any kind of damper on the Star Wars birthday bash; and, hopefully, it will not inspire anyone, either at LucasFilm or in the <i><u>fan fic</u></i> crowd, to (further) investigate the sexual orientations of any denizens of Tatooine, the Death Star or Endor...! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For no one will ever want to see a gay Wookie, gay Ewok, gay Emperor, gay Jabba, gay Jar-Jar Binks, gay Sand People, gay Jawa, gay Sith, gay Storm Troopers - or, Heaven Forbid, a gay Jedi...!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let the only gay character on Star Wars remain C3PO...! Please.</div>

A clique of German officers plotted to kill Adolf Hitler and stage a daring coup. Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg left a briefcase concealing a time bomb at Hitler's feet during a military conference. The bomb killed 4 people, but an oak table shielded Hitler. In Berlin, conspirators led by Colonel Von Keirnheim took over army headquarters, believing Hitler was dead. By midnight, they and von Stauffenberg had been shot. An enraged Hitler paralyzed in the right arm, swore vengeance. More than 5,000 people were summarily sentenced and strangled on meat hooks. The plotters believed Hitler would not surrender in the face of obvious defeat and would bring unparallelled destruction upon Germany. They were right.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">And so they gave it their best shot, what can I say?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">It still does not explain howcome there was a lookalike dead Hitler outside of the bunker after D-Day - but that strange occurrence came to a few elite souls' attention only after the "unparalleled destruction" hit Germany and most especially Berlin, of course.<br /><br />For more - watch the History Channel or something!</span></center>

So here we have, from 1973 the main theme from JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR...<br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IvVr2uks0C8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Andrew Llyod Webber and Carl Anderson may yet burn in hell for this one - or they have nothing to fear at all! It can really go either way; and we're not even mentioning all those showgirls either...! <br /><br />It is really not up to any one of us to pass judgment on that anyways - JESUS, the Real JESUS (not Ted Neeley) shall do just that. And, actually, there are far greater sins to be judged and condemned than these, ultimately, facetious transgressions... <br />AND JESUS WILL GET TO THOSE FIRST; you can Believe <span style="font-style:italic;">that</span>!<br /><br />On that note... <br />Remember that He Died For <b>you</b>.<br /><br />Happy Easter, brethren!<br /><br />+++Luminous (\ô/) Luciano™http://www.blogger.com/profile/00795506117364763784noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804763739118463978.post-23390533506600737962010-12-10T13:04:00.003-08:002018-07-12T19:05:01.590-07:00A Bruin's GrowlThere are so many videos out there to spur on my team to *just do it* - but, perhaps, it is not the proper motivation at all... For these vids have been around for quite some time now: and yet, the team has yet to fulfill its potential and go all the way (at blogging time, they haven't, anyways! Nothing new there: they haven't been so fortunate with Cam Neely leading them in the early 90s - Glen Murray leading them in the early "00s" - or Ray Bourque in the 80s! Not since Bobby Orr in the 70s indeed...)<br />
<br />
Motivational compilations, alligning good plays and great hits with just the right music, are nothing new: in fact, even such a thing could not make the team, though a powerhouse as it was, roll all over their most hated rivals on two distinct occasions, some thirty years apart. The compilations rolling out only the positives, editing out any negatives and, therefore, any doubts that there could be on anyone's mind, players or fans alike, have rarely inspired this team or <span style="font-style: italic;">any team</span> to exceed expectations and overachieve...<br />
<br />
Such videos are truly laudable efforts though: as they testify of their authors' true faith in their team, their unyielding allegiance to it and their neverending <span style="font-weight: bold;">hope</span> to see it reach the pinnacle in its field - asap! They can inspire through sheer <span style="font-style: italic;">epicness</span> - or through humour, in some rare cases...<br />
<br />
Such videos can be creative gems too - as they can also be quite amusing, too! <br />
<br />
Let's just have a look right now and judge by ourselves, shall we...<br />

<br />
<br />
The videos are of two other categories as well: made by the fans or made... by the corporation that owns the team! As we can see here:<br />

<br />
Just a coincidence, I am sure, that that last guy just happens to bear (pun truly, fully, absolutely intended) an uncanny resemblance to former Bruin and former Oiler <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_MacTavish">Craig MacTavish</a>...<br />
But that is another story...<br />
<br />
All laudable indeed - but can they inspire <span style="font-weight: bold;">victory</span>, complete victory, one day<span style="font-size: large;"> soon</span>?<br />

<br />
(Such a beauty pageant should have always been, I say...!)<br />
<br />
And the lucky winner was... E i/pi +1 = 0 or e^{i \pi} +1 = 0 \<br />
<br />
(Okay - to be truthful, tis not the "M.A.M." at all but the <a href="http://www.maa.org/">"M.A.A"</a> - but you can understand why we'd much rather prefer to go with "MAMs" here; a man can go gaga over mammaries all his life but one who cries "MAaaaaaaa" all the time, well, that's a different problem...! But that is another story entirely... A Mathematical American Monthly magazine does exist - although it is really called the American Mathematical Monthly; <a href="http://www.cs.amherst.edu/~djv/monthly/">A.M.M.</a> thus. See: "M.A.M." remains always the better choice! We may also precise, since we've gotten to this point already, that it was really the M.I. - the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Intelligencer">Mathematical Intelligencer</a> - that conceived of such a pageantry and voted the above formula as "the most beautiful ever" - way back in 1988. The lucky equation -though not a luminous equation; that is my own creation and mine alone! ;)- is found to be a logical progression of previous algorithms found in the works of such illuminaries as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonhard_Euler">Leonhard Euler</a> and was called "the most remarkable formula in mathematics" by one <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman">Richard Feynman</a>, "for its single uses of the notions of addition, multiplication, exponentiation, and equality, and the single uses of the important constants 0, 1, e, i and π".<br />
Me, I am still thinking of the word "intelligencer" here; who are these mathematical minds who think that they can make up such words using what should be anathema to them, eh: letters! The nerve... But I am digressing once more, eh...)<br />
<br />
<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/20/Mathematical_Intelligencer.jpg/200px-Mathematical_Intelligencer.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Anyway... All this to say that the inane, insipid (not to mention incomplete - hey, THE THREE "I"S!) non-equation (antiequation?) "=3" reminded me so much of the winning, remarkable and oh-so "beautiful" E i/pi +1 = 0 - as its extreme, diametrically opposed... er... opposite, yeah! Such luminous connections can only be made on the TLB Prime Network - you know it, dudes! <br />
<br />
And so - what is that "=3" thing, anyway - you ask? <br />
<br />
Well, let us put this way: it will never win approval from the A.M.A. or M.M.A. or M.A.M. or M.A.A. or even M.I. myself and I! It may have gained an endorsement of sorts from the old A.W.A. or, more recently, ECW mind you - but either one does not exist anymore, so forget that! In short, "=3" is something meant for the masses and made by some proud representative(s) of the masses in question - and as such, it will never raise the bar above anything other than basic addition, really! Far from being on the level of our own *luminous connections* (see TLB Prime aka The Luminous Blog for more of those!) and our venerable Luminous Equation, "=3" contents itself to tickle the funny bone of its viewers by showcasing and commenting on three different videos uploaded by third parties (how <i>à propos</i> is that...!) and trying, <i>tant bien que mal</i>, to find something that ties it all up together, somehow...! And oftentimes -frighteningly so- in a very, very crude way (especially those comments he publishes to a dancing cat coolcat tune - ugh!) <br />
<br />
Here are, therefore, three (!) examples of that - appropriately enough:<br />
<br />
<object height="390" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ag8F26lANOI&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param>

<br />

<br />
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/so1l8wcx2dI?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/so1l8wcx2dI?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object><br />
<br />
RayWilliamJohnson, KushaNdRosaydotcom or <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/RayWilliamJohnson#p/u/1/so1l8wcx2dI">RayWJ</a> - three times a news pimp, we say..!<br />
<br />
And, just like the beautiful equation issued by a beautiful mind -we're sure- and that equals, in the end, ZERO; "=3" reflects absolutely nothing, ultimately... <br />
<br />
Nothing but fluff - in a reputedly cool package, sure.<br />
<br />
Laudable effort, but...<br />
<br />

<b>On May 10th, 2010, the Boston Bruins organization (one of the classiest in all of professional sports) honored their greatest player ever (sorry, Eddie Shore fans - or Cam Neely fans!) when they unveiled a magnificent statue depicting him in his famous "Orr Soars" pose of May 1970, when he clinched the Stanley Cup for Boston after a 29-year drought. Yes, the player is Bobby Orr - of course. And yes - the piece of art depicting him is a tremendous tour de force of craftsmanship, succeeding in rendering the dynamics of a superb athlete as he is in fact celebrating his accomplishment in mid-air. In comparison, all the pieces of art depicting Montreal Canadiens are boring, run-of-the-mill humdrum pieces of granite merely delineating a humanoid in apair of skates - nothing dynamic about it, nothing kinetic, nothing extraordinary. The Hub of Hockey's legendary number 4, Bobby Orr, in that defining moment of his career is, also, the single most defining moment in all of hockey's history - and it isn't just me saying it either! "Hockey's most famous image," stated Wayne Scanlan of Canwest News service renown. Harry Weber's bronze art is a masterpiece defying the laws of gravity themselves - and that nobody can deny! Bobby Orr is also a jolly good fellow too - but that is another story... (Only a jolly good-natured fellow would brush off the seeming annoyance of goaltender Glenn Hall at being always associated to "The Goal" as, evidently, the guy who let it into his net! But let us not digress at this time, here...!)<br /><br />Aye - number 4's moment of glory is THE defining moment in all of hockey's fabled imagery - and no amounts of titles, records or other achievements by various "great ones" could ever match it, in this or any other era!<br /><br />All the more cruel, indeed, that on the very same day that they honored their number 4, the Boston Bruins did not win by four but instead lost by four in a game that could have seen them clinch their berth in the Eastern Conference Finals - and possibly be on their way to another drought-snapping Stanley Cup Championship! <br /><br />Alas, that is exactly what happened: the Boston Bruins reverted back to a punchless formation for that one game which could have honored Orr like not even Harry Weber's bronzed moment in time does; alas, they could not score a single goal that night. They were met by a desperate opponent that did not want to be eliminated - that is why...<br /><br />Fact is, throughout the 2009-2010 season, the Boston Bruins had somewhat been labeled as a team that lacked offensive power. They had scored less goals than many of the top contenders - and even less than some pretenders too! This was attributed to the loss of offensive star Phil Kessel in the off-season; that and many injuries had turned the offensive juggernaut Bruins into a more defensive-minded team, perhaps... But then the playoffs started and the Bruins started scoring like the previous season, when they were indeed the best team in the East - and likely in the league (sorry Sharks!)<br /><br />This continued in the series versus Philadelphia - with the return of Marc Savard and resurgence of David Krejci and Michael Ryder, to name but two. But then Krejci got injured, Marco Sturm as well, Ryder got into another cold streak... just as Philadelphia got two offensive stars back. All was set for that debacle on May 10th - what terrible timing, for Orr's sake! <br /><br />Still - defense is what wins games and series; and Tuukka Rask is the one who can make the difference in a deciding game six!<br /><br />Plus: let's not forget that, in this year of being deemed to have a lacklustre offense, again, the Boston Bruins actually accomplished what no offensive-minded club could EVER do: not the mighty Oilers of the 80's, not the Penguins of the 90's, not the league-leading Washington Capitals of this year (that went nowhere fast - but that is another story also) not the Bruins of the glory years either and not even the Canadiens of serial cups ever did THIS: </b><br />

<b>And to think that the Boston Bruins who scored three shorthanded goals on the same penalty kill were Daniel Paillé... Blake Wheeler... and Steve Bégin! (In a "redemption game" if you will - for it was a postseason berth clinching victory against the team that ruined their high aspirations of last year's playoff run - only to go absolutely nowhere after that and miss the playoffs entirely this year! Now why didn't the pathetic Hurricanes give up three goals in the span of two minutes in game seven of their series against Boston last year, instead - huh?!? </b><br />
<b>Another digression - mea culpa!)<br /><br />The Boston Bruins have plenty of secret weapons that can strike at any given time and that is what has to be retained here and now - they just didn't do it for Bobby Orr and Harry Weber, that's all!</b><br />

<i>Wouldn't you agree that the way this so-called "angel" grabs this damsel in obvious emotional distress is eeriely similar to the way famed Universal Monsters' own Gillman (aka the Creature from the Black Lagoon) was all over Julia Adams way back then... huh?!?<br />
I mean - what's the diff, eh?!?<br />
