The DA Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Bye bye, Baby. That's a shame though. Always had a sneaking liking for the BCR. (And a pair of white trousers with tartan trim.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much underrated film I think, small touches like having a dartboard with the Queen Mother's head on it when Charlie has to go and 'light a match' is genius. Right at the end of this clip. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is the tour guide at Alcatraz. The late Phil Hartman (Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz among others) is the tour guide. " In this particular cell-block, Machine Gun Kelly had what we call in the prison system, a "bitch". And one night in a jealous rage Kelly took a make-shift knife or "shiv", and cut out the bitch's eyes. And as if this wasn't enough retribution for Kelly, the next day he and four other inmates took turns pissing into the bitch's ocular cavities.." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Week 17 update One death this week, former U.S. Vice President Walter Mondale: Walter Mondale obituary | US news | The Guardian Quote Though his long political career did not warrant such a disaster, Walter Mondale, who has died aged 93, gained an unwelcome place in American political history. In 1984, challenging the incumbent president, Ronald Reagan, he won only 13 of the nation’s 538 electoral college votes, the worst defeat ever suffered by a Democratic presidential candidate. Only Alfred Landon had put in a worse performance: his 1936 Republican campaign against Franklin Roosevelt foundered with a mere eight of 531 electoral votes. Reagan’s performance in his televised debates with Mondale had revealed early signs of the former actor’s growing mental confusion, but he romped into his second term with 59% of the popular ballot and 525 electoral votes. Had Mondale not scraped a razor’s edge victory in his home state of Minnesota he would have become the nation’s all-time loser, winning only the three electoral votes of the irrepressibly Democratic District of Columbia. It's weird reading about American politicians who were actually politicians, but at least there's some relevance to the modern day in there. The whole thing is on youtube, but here's a highlight: Simpler times. Also relevant: Mondale died at 93, so he's worth 32 Base Points for @Aim Here, @choirbairn, @Curmudgeon and @psv_killie.

He was a Solo Shot for @Aim Here for an extra 50 and a total of 82 points. I'm shooting myself in the foot here, but Walter Mondale was only a solo shot for me in 2019 and 2020. This year, an unholy trio of @choirbairn, @psv_killie and @Curmudgeon all got on the 'A bit like Jimmy Carter but much more chance of a solo shot bonus' bandwagon, spoiling it for those of us who were there first.
