honorable mention vol 1...

It has come to my attention that the actor Sam Bottoms has died. Bottoms was best known as Corporal Lance Johnson in the movie Apocalypse Now!--most notably in the air calvary scene along with Robert Duvall. I'm not going to link this scene for you because one of two things must be true in order for you to continue to follow this blog, you either:

1. Already have this scene playing in your mind as you read this.

2. Or you are consulting your copy, (any of the multiple versions will do), for the scene as you read this.

For the rest of you, you are dimissed...

As for you Lance Corporal Johnson, you too are dismissed, may you always surf the big wave...

You just lost 25 percent of your followers. And I never looked up Sonny Chiba either.

What is wrong with you guy? Are you American? "Charlie Don't Surf", "You either surf or fight!", "I love the smell of napalm inthe morning...", have you been watching "Dirty Dancing" too much?

Did I get on you about Sonny Chiba, and if so, how could you not look him up. I mean I single handedly got you into ska music, my track record should be pretty good.

All credit due there, you did get me into the ska. No argument against Apocalypse Now, it just somehow eluded me so far. One day I'll watch it pillar to post.

oh, and I'm drunk.

You used the term 'pillar to post' you didn't have to tell me you were drunk.

Wonder Showzen— until recently I had been without cable, I may have some catching up to do.

Oh, man, go out and get yourself a Wonder Showzen DVD yesterday. Beat Kids alone is worth the money.
