Scattelogical ramblings and desultory humor - It's spring!

He might be Polish. (Something about ending in ...ski)

Ouch!!

You didn't Cher ish that one?

Oops!
My mis-tookey!

I'm watching the Red Sox/Athletics opening season game. It's exciting! The Sox just went ahead in the 10th, 6 - 4.

WC - were you thinking of Absinthe?

Sox just won 6-5.

I saw a memorable film on TCM last night. The actors were all dogs.

There was a big black poodle with an Afro and who had a bone in his nose.

One segment was about the Afri Cur. (Africa Corps?)

There were the laughing hyenas ... just mutts from the local pound but they sure were laughing!

What was the movie named?

Yes pirl the flavoring is wormwood,... ☺

Just heard a program about that on Sunday, WC.

So they were absinthe-minded artists?

Oh no! Poor Victor. It's gone to his head.

Seems the trend started early... I hope Da Vinci and Michaelangelo were more level headed, I really like their work. I'd hate to think all my icons were on 'cloud nine'☺

Mmmmm, love Da Vinci and Michaelangelo... drool, drool..

my kinda conversation.

Da Vinci liked to wear women's clothes. Michaelangelo painted as a front. He was mafia.

O.K. I looked up this information. Ive seen these dogs in a film before and then I lost the information. The last one was a "wedding" and a romantic story all performed by dogs.

Last night, Mar. 24 the feature film on TCM was "Trader Horn" with Harry Carey filmed in 1931. The dog movie was a 15 minute short film called "Trader Hound" and it was also filmed in 1931. Obviously made to go with the film "Trader Horn". There are a very large group of dogs, and the main group walk around on 2 legs. There was also a monkey and a "giraffe", but the giraffe was obviously a costume supported by human actors. The remainder of the cast was entirely dogs.

I laughed so hard I could hardly follow the story.

Michaelangelo. I suppose he spent all that time on the ceiling of the Cistene Chappel 'hiding' out from the other mafioso.

And how do YOU know so much about the mafia, Mr. Pitchfork Man?

Half Italian. (and half nelson)

DaVinci had curly hair, too, Victor.

On his chest, I've heard.

Actually I never saw his chest.

So then Da Vinci wore the style that was called 'A Macaroni'. ☺

Trader Hound from 1931! Sounds great Gloria!

And he invented the macarena!

Miami would dispute that... ☺

I'll say!

Da Vinci invented everything.

EXCEPT the Macarena.

Don't be so sure. He even did break-dancing - while in women's clothes.

He played the harp, too.

In women's clothes?

Well you know what they say... 'A man is only as old as the woman he feels' . ☺

Groucho?

Groucho. ☺

I dunno about Da Vinci, but Michaelangelo used all male models, even for the female images. He'd dress them in women's clothes.

Da Vinci most likely used himself as the model for Mona Lisa.

Victor that is such an old rumor.

Ever see the 'morph' of the faces? Pretty funny since they start with an old Da Vinci.
