White Woman Speak With Forked Tongue

    Hey, everyone. My grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. So, I consider myself an Indian, to a degree. the Indians used to say that the white man spoke with forked tongue, I.E. they lied. (Something about a barrel of whiskey and a bunch of land.)This was an allusion to their devious ways, like unto the snake. Well, today I saw a white woman who had a forked tongue and who also shed her skin like a snake.
     I saw her at the theater and she was french-kissing Hugh Jackman, alias The Wolverine. Her name was Viper. She was a tall, blonde woman; pretty darn hot for a sort-of snake. She, in the show, works for a Japanese business dude called Yashida. She is a Doctor with an agenda and she is helping keep the old man alive. Yashida is the richest guy in Japan, a veteran of World War 2 and an acquaintance of Logan/Wolverine. Logan saved his life when the U.S. dropped the big one on Nakasaki, back in the day.
     Since the old timer is dying, he sends for Logan, ostensibly to say goodbye. Logan has to leave a bear-related bar fight to go to Japan and he isn't too happy. He is less happy after Yashida's hot granddaughter, Mariko, snubs him and the maids scrub his white butt with a biggggg brush, in the bath. There were a few nervous titters from the young women in attendance at this point. I did not titter, nor was I nervous.
    Yashida's desire is to fix Logan's crazy body so that he will no longer heal, so that he can at last have the 'peace of death'. Logan turns him down, but Viper runs her incredible tongue down Logan's gullet and puts some sort of bug down there that takes away Logan's healing power. I nervously tittered at this point. "Wow," you say," bummer." Well, yeah. You would be correct.
     Meanwhile, the older Yashida has ceded control of his empire to Mariko, rather than his son. Is this guy thrilled that his own daughter is now CEO? Nah, not so much. The daughter is kidnapped and things really get frantic.
    I was very pleasantly surprised how terrific this show was. I love Hugh Jackman when he starts to ooze all that testosterone and starts to run those claws out like a cat that is P.O.'d. Hey, that sort of thing is great for a Japanese setting. I mean, the Japanese love all that shiny steel/ adamantium.
     The acting was very good, the story was wonderfully written, there was a nice combo of action, romance and character building. There was also a couple of major league surprises. Don't listen to critics. It's Saturday night. Grab that good-looking girl friend and go see it.

P.S. Svetlana Khodchenkova stars as the tonsil-loving Viper, Tao Okamoto as Mariko and Rila Fukishima as the cute little pixie who becomes Logan's self-appointed body guard.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

    Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up.     His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000.    It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...
