"The End of the World Is Officially Here"

The Rapture has finally arrived, and only one person managed to be taken from the Earth - seems he forgot to inform everyone else of the impending Rapture.

Oh well.

I blame Estee and her new Kindle.

Whenever I save money for something frivolous, the universe seems to notice. And then it conspires to take that money away from me.

Rest in peace, Peter O'Toole (81).

Rest in peace, Tom Laughlin (82).

Joan's older sister Olivia DeHavilland, with whom she didn't speak for a gazillion years, is still with us. I guess Olivia won the feud?

Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgment day
On the bloody morning afterrrrrrr...
One tin soldier rides away

-- The Legend of Billy Jack, starring Tom Laughlin. God, I hated that song.

Olivia de Havilland has spoken out about her sister's passing:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2013/12/16/in-rare-comment-de-havilland-mourns-fontaine/4045941/

For some reason, I had thought that de Havilland was no longer with us. I think Olivia and Joan are the only siblings to have each won an Oscar for a lead role, no?


ETA: Indeed, the feud between the two lasted right to the very end. Joan reportedly said earlier this year, “I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, she’ll undoubtedly be livid because I beat her to it!” Oof.

It is a pretty wretched song, but the movie Billy Jack is still watchable (though hopelessly dated.) The first movie in the series, Born Losers, is actually the best, a fairly standard drive-in action flick dealing with the themes of cultural conflict and corruption. The other films in the series are just hopelessly unwatchable.

Questions, questions:
Who is going to let us know when to expect the unexpected now that he's gone? Is anyone taking responsibility? Anyone seen Ice Cat lately?

Who is likely to be next on Dabo's list?

Fooner.

DB Cooper.

They both end in "er".

The both have the double "o" in their assumed names.

DB was paid in 20s, Fooner spends 20s.

They both have squinty eyes.

Eh? Eh? Think we wouldn't notice?

Probably able to fashion a decent parachute and survive a few days outdoors, too. Hmmmmm.

And now Hal has been granted companionship in the afterlife, Al Goldstein has died at 77. Goldstein, whose only regret in life was becoming an angry old Jew -- he much prefered being an angry young Jew -- per his last wishes will have as his monument a statue of himself taking a dump.

Hey, everybody, let's have some fun
You only live but once
And when you're dead you're done, so
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll

We should have known this would happen as soon as a few states made marijuana legal.

Sheldon. Like Dr. Sheldon. Dr. Sheldon Cooper? Cooper!

Curiouser and curiouser

Sheldon is going to tell us when the world is going to end now or is he going to steal and jump?

But what Dr. Cooper does is not important. At least not so far. With the possible exception of "Fun With Flags." JSDE held worthwhile jobs, made significant contributions, even participated in notable events. Take, for example, this note:

It was January 20, 1953, when it became my time to take part in the ceremonies of turning the office of the Presidency over to Dwight D. Eisenhower. Washington, on that day, was cold and clear but not uncomfortable. The President-elect and I were sitting in the room of the sergeant-at-arms in the Capitol, waiting to go out through the Rotunda to the Inaugural platform.

Suddenly General Eisenhower turned to me and said: "I wonder who is responsible for my son John being ordered to Washington from Korea? I wonder who is trying to embarrass me?"

I answered: "The President of the United States ordered your son to attend your Inaugural. The President thought it was right and proper for your son to witness the swearing-in of his father to the Presidency. If you think somebody was trying to embarrass you by this order then the President assumes full resposibility."

I thought this was a curious reaction by a father to the presence of his son on an occasion so historic for himself and his family. I could only account for it on the grounds that this was a manifestation of hostility towards me.

At this moment, the sergeant-at-arms indicated it was time for us to go out to the platform. Ten minutes later, Dwight D. Eisenhower, standing on the Inaugural platform before Chief Justice Fred D. Vinson, took the oath of office as our new President and commander-in-chief, so swift and complete was the shift of authority and responsibility.

And so ended my authority over Major John Eisenhower and all other authority as well.

from "Mr. Citizen" by Harry S. Truman
