The extraordinary thing is that in the US and the UK the election laws and the mental health acts more or less abolishing the hospitalization of mentally ill people in asylums, have resulted in a situation where people are "Mentally incapable" can be barred from voting if it is decided by medical professionals that they are not capable of making a rational decision in their own best interests, those same people DO have the inalienable right to run for office and serve at any level up to and including head of state, unless convicted as *criminally* insane. IN other words you can become president but cannot actually vote for yourself. How many presidents were mentally ill? Eighteen (49%) Presidents met criteria suggesting psychiatric disorder: depression (24%), anxiety (8%), bipolar disorder (8%), and alcohol abuse/dependence (8%) were the most common. In 10 instances (27%), a disorder was evident during presidential office, which in most cases probably impaired job performance. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16462555/

The Wizard of Oz - Dorothy arrives in Munchkinland synchronized with PinkFloyd's "Money"

LenHazell53 comments on Nov 10, 2022:

L. Frank Baum' the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, is a satire on the American political exploitation of Nature, Industry and Agriculture at the expense of future generations. The Wizard of Oz, however, the 1939 Warner Bros musical is an altogether much more subversive animal, with only fundamental similarities to the the novel on which it is based. There are three credited writer for the script Noel Langley, Florence Ryerson and Edgar Allan Woolf, very little of their work made it in to the final screenplay (and most of that which did came from Langley who wrote teh initial adaptation retitling it "Apocalypse of Oz". He was also a mystic and hypnotist who practically invented regression therapy as a way of tracing people's past lives.) There were 16 other uncredited writers including Samuel Hoffenstein a horror writer, Thriller writer Herman J. Mankiewicz, Marx Brother's writer Robert Pirosh, and George Seaton who was notorious for paranormal films cleverly hidden under family entertainments. The resulting movie was under the direction of (officially) Victor Fleming until he was uncerimoniously fired and sent to save (Gone with the Wind) but mostly was a joint effort by George Cukor (My Fair Lady), Mervyn LeRoy (The Bad Seed), Norman Taurog (Elvis Presley's favourite director and later 1960's smut peddler), director of multiple Tarzan films Richard Thorpe and movie veteran King Vidor who did the black and white bits. It is liberally littered with drug references, invented the psychedelic aesthetic, turns Dorothy in to a manipulated serial killer who has no remorse for her actions at all as she is aimed like a gun and sent out as a political assassin, uses Tarot card images, pagan symbolism, and turns Oz more or less in to a paramilitary empire complete with waring power blocks, an air force, civilian bombings of small states such as the Munchkins who also have their own army The film also had Bert Lahr brilliantly turn the cowardly Lion in to an openly flaming homosexual, played as camp comedy.

Vovan and Lexus also called British home secretary Priti Patel. After this prank, on 26 March 2022, YouTube banned Vovan and Lexus, and on 22 March that year, the British Ministry of Defence had called for YouTube to remove all videos of calls by Vovan and Lexus"

LenHazell53 comments on Nov 10, 2022:

The death rate in the UK, and the average life expectancy have been rising and falling respectively since 2009. Many more UK men and women are dying in their early fifties, that is to say people who were born in the mid fifties to the mid sixties (1957 to 1967) from various causes but largely chest infections, pleurisy, pneumonia, lung disease and pulmonary cancer etc. IN other words people who were born at the height of the industrial revolution but also people born before the clean air act, ie. SMOG. People who grew up during the period when ***asbestos*** was being widely used in building of new homes, business premises and SCHOOLS. People who were children when the uptake in family cars was at its highest and catalytic converters had not been invented so all motor vehicles were spewing raw lead vapour in to the air at child shoulder height. And of course it was the golden age of the tobacco industry, every one smoked, in the home, in the car, in the cinemas, in the theater, in restaurants and on buses. My generation grew up in a poison cloud and are dieing choking deaths in their 50s, 60s and early 70s

Cherish what you have, for what little time you have it. We in Europe saw this happen in the 1920s and 1930s. Time, after time, after time, as one nation after another voluntarily fell to national socialism, enough so that we in the UK saw it coming to us and abandoned reason. In our only option for the survival of our democracy, we outright banned fascism, deported their leader Moseley and forced the fascist traitor king and his Hitler loving concubine out of the country too. That way we stopped Briton from sliding into becoming a Nazi oblast. Achieving this by preventing the election of antidemocratic elitists and twisted aristocrats in to government. Foiling Hitler and Edward the VIII's plan of a propaganda and false information deluge and the promise of a return to the false myth of Victorian rule “by our betters.” If you do not do this in the USA, clean house, arrest the traitors and let the truth flow. Then they, the traitors **will** do it to you. Redefining lies as truth, authoritarianism as democracy, theocracy as religious freedom and horror as utopia.

The way I heard "The Royal We" explained was that the ruling monarch as well as being an individual, is monarch of then three now four nations, head of the church and emperor of the commonwealth and empire and so when needs be, is speaking in all their roles as anything up to 7 people. The Tradition was mocked by WS Gilbert in the character of Pooh-Bar in the satire Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado (1885), said Pooh-Bar refers to himself as ***we*** since he holds EVERY role of authority in the city of Titipu and receives the wages for each role, with the sole exception of Lord High Executioner, as the incumbents are prone to assassination. He therefore only grants this role to criminal condemned under the death penalty. *Mikado: Were all members of the high council present at my arrival? Pooh-Bar: Yes your majesty, we counted them ourselves.*

LenHazell53 comments on Nov 5, 2022:

I love the works of Vittorio De Sica, and greatly admire him as an actor, performer and director , a true auteur when it suited him and jobbing film maker when it did not. My personal favourite, because it showcases his humour is the 1966 film "After the Fox" which he filmed twice back to back in English and Italian. He appears in the film as a narcissist version of himself being worship on set as he lords it over a cast and crew of applauding sycophants doing a remake of the Ten Commandments starring John Ford (De Sica again in a ridiculous false beard) before having his entire studio stolen by the eponymous Fox. Later in the film the crooks make a fake movie named "The Gold of Sevalio " a clear mockery of DiSeca's own film The Gold of Naples. And during the trial scene a stereotypical "art house" Critic praises the fake film as a neorealistic masterpiece. Di Seca wanted to play the fading and aging Hollywood movie star "Tony Powel" in the film himself, but the producers felt such a revered figure should not open himself to ridicule, so Di Seca hired veteran action star Victor Mature to play the part simply based on the fact that he and Mature were often mistaken for one another. Victor Mature actually does give the best and funniest performance of career in the film and steals it every scene he is in.

Koro is a Malay word for the action of a tortoise or turtle pulling its head back in to the carapace

This hilarious but in a reply to another I had to find what a group of Lemmings is called.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 30, 2022:

In 1958 the fledgling Disney studios made a wildlife documentary titled "White Wilderness". It featured many indigenous creatures but Walt himself gave the director James Algar orders that he was to film a Lemming mass suicide. The legend of the lemmings killing themselves had been around for a few years but no one had ever recorded it. Walt wanted his studio to be the first record of the phenomena. Agar eventually did succeed in finding a colony of migrating lemmings, but oddly they seemed to want to do nothing but eat mate and sleep and had no intention of leaping to their deaths. When Agar reported this to "uncle" Walt and gave him the financial costs of keeping a film crew on standby for weeks on end Mr. Disney almost blew a gasket, and gave an order that went down in the annals of Hollywood infamy. The next day many of the Canada living in the area where surprised to see a group of 15 Disney employees chasing the lemmings with yard brushes up to the top of a cliff and literally sweeping them off the precipice and in to Atlantic ocean as Disney cameramen tried desperately to film the suicide while keeping the murders off camera. White Wilderness won the Oscar for best documentary in 1959 and the horror story was not revealed until the CBC Television news magazine program The Fifth Estate broadcast a documentary about animal cruelty in Hollywood in 1982 called "the cruel camera," exposing Disney and other studios common practice of torturing and killing animal for "entertainment" purposes, leading to the "No animals were hurt" disclaimer being added to films from that point on. Disney tried to sue CBC but Walt was long since dead and many including Agar were willing to confirm that the lemming migration and suicide was indeed completely faked and was in fact mass murder.

Uranus is an odd planet with a funny name.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 30, 2022:

There are a number odd things about the planet Firstly it is the only one NOT named after a Roman god Uranus or Ouranos is an ancient primordial Greek Titan who holds up the dome of the sky, similar to that later Atlas or the Roman god Caelum. Its single ring orbits pole to pole rather than an equatorial orbit as they do around Saturn. It has 27 moon some of which orbit ridiculous close to the surface of the planet and again unlike almost every other moon in the solar system they are not named for ancient roman gods and deities but for Shakespeare characters and two for characters from the poems of Pope. Uranus is the 3rd largest planet in the solar system but is second lightest, indicating it is an ice giant, with a surface made of frozen gasses, mainly hydrogen and helium, making it the coldest planet in our system, far colder than even the recently demoted Pluto.

NAMBY-PAMBY.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 30, 2022:

It has for a while been my opinion that nambi-pambi is actually an early euphamisism for male homosexuality. It has become associated with Philip Ambrose, but I believe the fact Ambrose's is superficially similar to the amby in both words of the phrase is coincidental. Ambi- is a Latin prefix meaning both sides and this in turn comes from the Proto indo European ant-bhi meaning front and back. According to ancient legend Hermes and Aphrodite were so in love that they prayed never to be parted, but in a cruel joke the other gods combined them in to one being, female on the front male of the back, so that they could never see one another or ever make love, this abomination was given the name Hermaphrodite and sometimes the ambisexual Therefore in pigeon Latin/Greek Namby-Pambi is N-ambi Null ambi not either way (but) P-ambi (pan=)all ways He is Namby Pamby neither way and every way. Just a thought

Here's a good topic to pick apart IMO.

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 29, 2022:

Much of what people call intuition is no such thing, it is the workings of the unconscious drawing on memories and experience and extrapolating likely outcomes. Elsewise it is instinct, survival trait we are born with and which operate at a genetic level. It is the misinterpretation of these unconscious extrapolations and instincts that many people mistake for religious experience, miracles and faith promoting experiences. There need not be a paranormal explanation for anything the conscious mind finds inexplicable the human body and brain are capable of so much more than we realise at a waking level.

The actual story is of The Lambton Worm and originates from my home town of Stockton on Tees, where there is still a pub called the Lambton Castle, with shine board showing the "Wyrm". Bram Stoker wrote the tale while recuperating from syphilis and staying in Stockton, he later moved to Whitby 30 miles up the road and on the coast, where he wrote Dracula. Ken Russels film Lair of the White Worm, has little to do with Stoker's novella, and even less to do with his own script. The film was seized by Vestron studios, edited down by an hour and turned in to an incoherent mess ( for instance at one point Peter Capaldi produces a Mongoose from under his kilt with no explanation whatsoever to drive off a snake monster. Because an entire scene with a herpetologist was cut out to save time) There are rumours of a directors cut, but so far it has never surfaced and since Ken Russell died in 2011 it likely never will. Amanda Donohoe is beautiful though and carries the film.

Surely this would be the ideal moment for his arseholiness to call on his invisible sky daddy pal to prove he/she/it exists. Perhaps gawd could pop up at the UN and tell Mr Pootin, Mr. Trump et al that they are a bunch of spoiled brats who need to grow up, on penalty of a smacked bottom, an early bedtime and no supper! I wonder why he does not?

It is a fundamental misunderstanding of the idea of what freedom of speech and expression actually means. It does not mean that everyone has the right to say and do whatever the fuck they want to, it never has. It does not mean a citizen has all of the rights but none of the concomitant responsibilities that being a citizen entails. It does not mean a citizen is suddenly immune from the consequences of their speech and action, if fact it means exactly the opposite, one can say whatever one wants, but one will be responsible for such speech or action and for the ramifications resulting. A person who choses to use the right of free speech and expression to break existing laws or to slander another will be subject to that same law, but can be condemned for doing so, be arrested tried and punished for doing so as is their right too.

MELEE.

IN medieval England the Grande Mêlée was the climax of a day of jousting and tournaments and was basically a destruction derby for Knights. The contestants armed and armoured themselves went in to the arena and fought with blunted weapons until only one knight was left standing. It was common for contestants to die but this was seen as a good thing and a way of weeding out the old, the weak and the incompetent.

Here's something I find intriguing.

Why some words are commonly mispronounced. (Does this annoy you as much as it does me?

LenHazell53 comments on Oct 28, 2022:

I have beautiful leather bound pocket book published in 1913, entitled 1001 words commonly mispronounced. Its a good read and addresses exactly the problem raised here. I have an Uncle who lives the Cumbrian town of Sebergham, when he moved there some years ago his removal van got lost and could not get any help from locals who claimed never to have heard of Sebergham. How ever when it written down for them, people had no problem directing the removal van to "S'b-ram" A Norman name being read and pronounced as they see it correctly by Jute descended people. It is a result of the wide and various languages that make up English, from invaders, immigrants, dialects and the isolation of many towns from the est of the country for decades or even centuries.
