† RIP Renfield #526 -  all FALL down (leaves) †
November 14, 2009

———————-

ABOUT TIME…
I’m acknowledge-ing AUTUMN (or Fall if you prefer)
with a seasonal banner… (tish does not disappoint)
IT’S TAKEN A LONG TIME TO FINALLY GET AROUND
TO THE CURRENT SEASON,
BUT THOSE ‘TISH’ BANNERS MUST BE SEEN…

ONE COMMENT BEFORE THE SHOW STARTS….

I was very happy to see that MY added comments last week
(sometimes a ‘fuck you’ is taken the wrong way)
about our veterans, and treatment of them,
struck a chord with many readers,
who chose to agree (strongly) with me…
(Are YOU willing to put your life on hold for the greater good ?)

GOD  BLESS  THEM, AMERICA, & US ALL  !!!

The RIP Renfield death tribute this week
is taken from an actor in a masterful (comedic) horror role…
originally played on Broadway by Boris Karloff…
Un-available Karloff was ‘imitated’ & made part of the joke…

FROM… ARSENIC & OLD LACE…
(a must see… even if you’ve seen it before)
Jonathan Brewster as played by…

R.I.P
RAYMOND  MASSEY

TOO MUCH A GIANT
TO SUMMARIZE HERE…
(you can always google or imdb him)

I’ll leave you with his most famouse role
and an anecdote instead…

There was a great outcry when a Canadian was cast as an
American president, on Broadway in Abe Lincoln in Illinois, and again in the
1940 film version (Oscar nomination for Best Actor).
Massey again portrayed Lincoln in the 1956 production of
The Day Lincoln Was Shot on Ford Star Jubilee, & (a wordless appearance)
in 1962’s How the West Was Won.
(A fellow actor remarked that Massey wouldn’t be satisfied
with his Lincoln impersonation until someone assassinated him.)

the FORT HOOD, Tx SHOOTINGS ?

Let me get this straight…

A muslim, arabic officer in the army,
who is EXTREMELY vocal about his dislike
of the army and the war…
and is argumentative with classmates & peers…
quick to lecture about HIS beiefs…
…”justified suicide bombing” and spewed
“anti-American propaganda” as he argued the
war on terror was “a war against Islam.”
Alarming an Islamic community leader
from whom he sought counsel !!!
Wanting badly to get out of his deployment
to Afghanisatan… (lawyers involved)…
and against his will, being sent anyway…

AND THAT’S PROBABLY
JUST SCRATCHING THE SURFACE !!!

ANYWAY…
Both on news reports & official statements…

They’re going to  ‘INVESTIGATE HIS MOTIVES’ ???

DUH…
Another example of a PC world gone amok !!!
(no need to start THAT investigation at all)

SOMETIMES IT IS EXACTLY
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE !!!

If this was 20 years ago…
No one would have been bending over backwards,
ignoring the signs, so as not to look racist, or, god forbid,
profiling, a probable, dangerous, ‘loose-cannon’ !!!

WHAT WILL IT TAKE UNTIL WE AGAIN
ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION ?

I ran out of space last week…

but I still want to wish all of you a belated…

HAPPY  GUY  FAWKES  DAY

(my son Michael is behind the fist)

_______________

HEADLINE…

FORT HOOD SHOOTER’S (killer’s) ATTORNEY
CALLS FOR A FAIR TRIAL…

WHAT IS FAIR?
PUT HIM IN A SCOTTISH PRISON FOR A ‘FEW’ YEARS ?

FAIR – following the ‘rules’ of jurisprudence,
and using the over-whelming evidence
to convict & execute that cock-sucker !

I was never a believer that I should ’suffer’
because someone else has emotional problems…
(go kill YOUR family members, not mine)

Like when my young son came home from school crying
because the school bully was working-him-over regularly…
The school tried to explain to me that the OTHER kid had ‘problems’ !

MY ANSWER TO THE SCHOOL ?
Don’t make it MY problem, because you won’t know what hit YOU,
when I make it YOUR problem !!!

AFTER THAT ?
SOMEHOW THE SCHOOL ‘ADJUSTED’ THE OTHER KID,
INSTEAD OF ASKING MINE TO GET USED-TO THE BEATINGS…

____________________

a wonderful way to show
the world our commitment to aiding HIV sufferers ?

President Barack Obama overturned a 22-year-old
travel & immigration ban against people with HIV
who wish to come to the USA…

I’M JUST WONDERING…
Will this require our already strained medical system
to absorb even MORE patients who can’t pay ?

PERHAPS LET THEM VISIT… BUT STAY ?
Shouldn’t priority be given to immigrants
who can contribute rather than ‘take’ ?

(I’m never on the receiving end, they make me pay)

____________________

REAL medical advice ?
CUT TO THE CHASE !!!

I disagree with my psychiatrist’s assertion that I’m depressed
because I have a serotonin imbalance.
I’m pretty sure the real reason is that my life sucks.

I don’t know why it came to mind…
but I can’t think of the last time I saw
SUGAR  CUBES
I think my mother had them in the house
when I was a kid…
but I never liked the time it took for them to dissolve !
I remember the ‘cutesy’ sugar cube (on ribbons) corsages
the girls wore in grammar school (high school?)…
DO THEY STILL USE THEM THAT WAY ?

BUT… AN ACTUAL SUGARE CUBE ?
ONE-LUMP-OR-TWO ?



I had to google search it to find that
you can find them in most any large grocery store !
(look on the top shelf in the sugar aisle)

I’ve been working from packets-of-powder for so long…
they could have stopped making them decades ago
without me notice-ing !!!

RELAX…

GET INTO YOUR WALKING-AROUND-THE-HOUSE
WITH-THE-CURTAINS-OPEN OUTFIT…

_______________________________

Okay… with all the ‘great’ tv shows on…
I’ve been watching alot of re-runs…
(like LAW & ORDER)

Just saw a re-run where the super-cute,high-school teacher
is ‘banging’ a student (and his father and her husband) !
A great up-skirt, leg shot of her when the cops
bust in the back door of a steamed-up parked car !!!

Because of their great similarity of look…
I thought the ‘teacher’ was the ‘audition’
for a future Asst. District Attorney… CASEY NOVAK
(they re-use alot of their actors)

TURNS OUT THEY ARE 2 DIFFERENT WOMEN !!!
(I would have never known)

ONE IS NAMED       —  ANNE DUDEK
THE OTHER IS NAMED —    DIANE NEAL

SEE IF YOU CAN PICK OUT WHO’S WHO ?
(not the best examples… see the show)

ONLY the first one is the Asst. District Attorney
The other THREE are the horny ‘teacher’ !!!

_______________________

I’m watching  LAW AND ORDER: SVU (special victims)
and the Captain is congratulating the detective
for his courage in apprehending an HIV ‘dripping’ perp…
If the detective caught HIV… I guess it’s a work related issue…

BUT, I WAS THINKING…
COULDN’T A COP GET HIV FROM ANOTHER GUY
IN A SOCIAL SETTING (or parade)
and then get bloodied from some arrest…
AND MAKE THE HIV CLAIM FOR CITY BENEFITS ?
(and get benefits he’s NOT entitled to?)

IT COULD HAPPEN !!!
YOU KNOW HOW THOSE COPS LIKE TO PARTY !!!
(keepin’ it on the down-low of course)

(the last item inspired by a certain RIP writer who got a ticket)

____________________

BEATING The MAURY POVICH SHOW to death…
(is that a bad thing?)

I get fired-up about this every once-in-a-while…
(sorry)

I’m starting work later these days…
so I get to see the opening of MAURY POVICH…
and if it’s a PATERNITY show… I record it for later…

These women come on the show… with attitude…
to prove some guy is their baby-daddy !
THEY DON’T KNOW THAT THEY’RE A CIRCUS SIDE-SHOW !!!
THEY THINK THEY ARE THERE ON GOD’S WORK !
The window for getting pregnant if only a few days…
so coming on the show and being proved wrong
about the guy you ‘picked’ to be daddy…
says quite a bit about YOU !!!
You’re either sleeping with mulitiple partners,
or relatives (brothers, cousins, or dads),
cheating on your boyfriend, spouse..
sleeping with a married (or spoken for) man…
or guys with multiple kids they aren’t supporting !

HOW DO THESE WOMEN COME OFF
CLAIMING THE MORAL HIGH GROUND ?
(they should be ashamed)

Why do they decide to take the pregnancies to term?
ABORTION IS LEGAL (free if you need it to be)
I don’t see them objecting to abortion on moral grounds…
THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE MORALITY WHEN IT COMES TO SEX !
Want to do the ‘RIGHT thing’ ? … USE A CONDOM !!!

AND IF THEY WERE ALL THAT MORAL…
They’d be on the show PROVING in great percentages
that the jerk there on the stage with them   IS THE DAD !!!

The children may be victims…
but the victimizer is the less-than-moral mom,
who’s hungry for cock, with as many men as she can
and as much variety as she can handle…
and damn the consequences !

Sticking a guy by claiming the kid is his
might seem to be the woman’s only out…
but is she wants to know how the ‘jerk’ feels…
IT MIGHT BE KINDA LIKE…
The hospital calling you after 12 years
to say the baby SHE took home wasn’t hers…
HER BLOOD, HER FLESH-OF-HER-FLESH
(having lived with another family)
versus
THE 12 YEAR OLD SHE RAISED FROM A BABY !!!
(who gets taken from her and returned)

If ‘extremely’ sexually active with multiple partners,
and not wanting to go the abortion route…
We need new rules…
GIVE THE PATERNITY TEST AT BIRTH ALREADY !!!
(or make a cheap, home testing kit)

_______________________

speaking of   LAW & ORDER (the regular one)

They just did an episode mirror-ing the story
of the drunken-pot lady, driving the wrong way on a highway,
who killed a bunch of kids.
The disclaimer reminded that the tv story is fictional…
but…
fer chrissakes… this only happened this past JULY !!!
and the husband is still argue-ing for another autopsy,
and claiming his wife wasn’t a drinker !!!
He’s gone so far as to get an ambulance-chasing attorney
(face time on tv?)…  and his lame, improbable defense is very
disprespectful to the already fragile families of the victims !

I THINK IT WAY TOO SOON… WAY TOO RAW
FOR THE SUBJECT TO BE MADE TV ENTERTAINMENT !!!

The rule should be to at least have the story it’s based on
to run it’s course in the courts…
(or when fictionalizing a case.. make sure it’s ’set-in-stone’)
With the idiot jurors out there (you only need one of 12),
who may have seen this alternate ‘theory’(?),
it could taint the jury pool !!!

PLUS… the bodies are barely cold,
this episode was probably very hard on families of the dead…
THEY’RE NOWHERE NEAR FINISHED MOURNING !!!

Re:  OTHER MUST-WATCH TV…

PRIORITIES…

I was in a trivia chat room the other nite…
and someone ’steered’ the few of us
to TRU-TV (court tv) to watch a forensic crime show…
THERE ARE MURDERED PEOPLE !!!
KILLERS AT LARGE !!!
A BIG POLICE INVESTIGATION !!!
and all of us in the room were conenctrating
on the poor tree they cut down to retrieve a bullet !
THEY COULDN’T JUST DIG OUT THE BULLET !!!
THEY CUT DOWN A MAMMOTH-SIZED TREE
SO THE COULD CUT OUT THE TINY SECTION
WHERE THE BULLET WAS LODGED !!!

Not sure if they got the evidence to arrest or convict…
THE TREE AND THE WACKY REASON & WAY
THEY CUT IT DOWN WAS THE STORY !!!

NEXT  WEEK ?
WATCHING  CEMENT  DRY  !!!

________________________

The economy must be HORRIBLE still !!!
SOME BIG RETAILERS
ARE IGNORING POLITICAL CORRECTNESS !!!

TV ads for CHRISTMAS shopping,
yes, CHRISTMAS, not HOLIDAY shopping !!!
On TV, Macy’s even invites drop-off of
LETTERS TO SANTA
(they donate to ‘make-a-wish’ for each letter)
Wow… not that they didn’t do it in the past…
but to acknowledge CHRISTMAS on-air ?

WHO’DA EVER THUNK RETAIL OUTLETS
WOULD ACTUALLY GO AFTER CHRISTMAS BUSINESS
AS OPPOSED TO WORRYING ABOUT
INSULTING THE NON-XMAS, HOLIDAY PEOPLE !!!

MANGERS NEXT ?

My view?
Santa was never taught in any church I ever went to…
So CHRISTMAS really has transcended religion & become
a holiday for anyone and everyone…
while it remains a HOLY day to ones who wish…
(AND THEY AIN’T PRAYIN’ TO SANTA)

AND IF YOU WANT TO BE A STICKLER…

If you have a problem with CHRISTMAS,
please stop celebrating
SAINT Valentine’s Day too !!!
(yes, it IS the same thing…  you should be consistant)

I JUST MIGHT TAKE MY OWN ADVICE…
gays? get pro-active? not re-active?
Me? I think I can see myself supporting (buying from)
retailers that OPENLY advertise Christmas to make a point !
