"Cut his ears off and send them to the marshall..." (Robert Duvall in Broken Trail trying to be funny? His nephew had just shot Big Ears Bywaters, thus preventing Big Ears from nailing Duvall's nuts to a plank!) (Daily quote.)

Ed the Editor's personal blog corner

Broken Trail is an epic almost humorless Western that riveted me to my seat for 4 hours and made me glad to be alive in the softly softly 21st century.

Having missed great chunks of Hollywood history, due to itinerant behavior and lack of TV facilities for years at a time, I am no film critic, but I can spot a good flick. Just can't remember all the details, let alone the titles.

Of the films I do recall, there aren't too many that fit in the "Great" category. Rocky, Police Academy. Mission Impossible. Just wow!

Oh, did I say great films, I meant Crate.

Rocky blew the magic with way too many re-runs on the streets of Philadelphia, Police Academy had as many sequels as cops eat doughnuts, and Mission Impossible became Impossible for Tom Cruise not to prove he is the most vain man in Holywood (sic).

Seriously, Broken Trail is fantastic drama from really cool actors living and dying in the most stunning settings. And the Chinese slaves thread was a great twist.

As a kid, "How could you remember a friend farting in assembly six months back, but not a word your teacher said yesterday?" (Daily quote.)

Memories of childhood come flooding back after reading that funny quote from Mr Rant.

I guess number one on my list of childhood memories was the need to avoid cracks in the pavement, in case a bear jumped out and ate me. What are parents like? No wonder I bit my nails. Having said that, had I grown up in Philaldelphia, I would have been neurotic in a week. Avoiding cracks in that great city require the ability to float or jump great distances, neither of which I was ever very skilled at.

Had I grown up in Bordeaux, a city that sounds romantic, I would have developed a permanent stoop, and walked with head bowed. Not because of a fear of predatory bears or lack of self worth - but to avoid the dog shit that litters every other pavement slab in that city.

I don't remember farting in class, but I do recall dumping in my trousers whilst in a sweet shop. Too scared to run out while asking for chocolate, I stood there pooping. The shopkeeper dropped the change in my hand and suggested i get home fast. I don't think I gave a toss about avoiding the cracks in pavements that day.

...while war crimes had been committed, there had been no intent to commit genocide!" (An unbelievable rather than funny UN stance on atrocities in Sudan) (Daily quote.)

Ed the Editor's personal blog corner

That quote was about as unfunny as they get. What tends to happen in bad times, though, is that humor comes flooding out of the darkness.

Back in school, we read Candide, an eternal optimist who, several hunderd years ago, traveled the globe in the company of a female chaperone, the one-buttocked Cunégonde. He witnessed the auto da fe burnings and tortures. And the lunacy of Rules of War. He tried to see the positive in it all. Can't recall what, but he did make us laugh.

Catch 22 was a modern example of the lunacy that man gets entrapped in during war time. Can't fly if you are mad, but if you ask not to fly because it is making you mad, then you can't be totally crazy else how would you know you were mad.

I guess the quote from the UN was a mish mash of rules of war. By definition there needs to be a concerted effort to warrant a crime as "genocide", but until systematic wanton murder gets to massive figures, it stays as murder. That is alright then. As long as we know the nuances of death, we can all sleep well at night.

And you thought you had heard all the diaper and poo jokes since the weirdo astronaut episode!

It was quite disturbing to learn that the personnel department for the world's elite astronauts could have let such a psycho space cadet slip through their vetting process. Apparently it isn't unusual to expect your candidates at a job interview to stretch the truth a little to suit the occasion, but the interviewers must feel a little dumb that their profiling missed such major character flaws.

Related to full disclosure at job interviews, or lack of it, I remember a bloke who forgot to tell his prospective boss that he had just come out of prison. It was quite sad though, because he did a good job for the few months that he managed to keep it under his belt. But one day he got himself an instant dismissal when he mentioned doing time.

Unlike the shamed astronaut, nobody cared to splash the name of a builder ashamed of his past across the world's press. No chance for him to write his life story for money when the brouhaha blew over. Funny old world.

It is the Year of the Rat, so I guess that quote is quite appropriate!

My gran had a saying for every occasion, and when I was a kid I bragged that one day I was going to write them all down and make a book. Sadly she died before I was old enough and another million dollar idea went down the tubes. I needed her help to explain stuff, because no way could I ever work out what she meant by sayings like, "A nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse."

Later on in life I worked with this old builder and he was a bit of a perfectionist. Whenever he found something I had done that didn't meet his approval, he would give me a look, and I would ask what was wrong. His reply was something like "That might look great to a blind man on a galloping horse on a dark night, but it looks like shit to me, do it again!"
