Hahahaha sheesh that had me in hysterics. What's funny, is I actually liked Rick Mayall and the Young Ones. I remember TV was pretty banal in the 80's and this was pretty refreshing stuff. I thought he was superb as B'stard as well Jan. In saying that I do think Spike is the king and in his later years I did find Mayall a little tedious. Indeed, I found Ben Elton writing bloody tedious as well, I mean 'Maybe Baby' what a horrific piece of shit that was. CD got me thinking with his fart comment. I mean we actually have a cast of characters for a comedy show....Fetzer, Cinque, Nelson, Cahalan, Hankey have been creating some awful stuff over the past few years. I mean we couldn't call it 'Full House' but 'Full of Shit' might work.

Jim DiEugenio asked Larry Hancock when the photo was taken. Larry's reply at http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=19144&#entry253825

Jim, the photo was taken during the Kennedy campaign, it was a national security brief for Johnson as the VP candidate. The stock photo was later used prior to the Texas trip as an example of VIP visitors to the LBJ ranch and that caused many folks to wrongly think it was circa 63.

I questioned the date of the photo, for the visit of Allen Dulles to LBJ on his ranch in 1960 was known, and there was a photo at that time. There was a photo also printed in 1963, and indeed captioned "former director of CIA"--however, it seems the photo was not taken in 1963.

I don't think the photo is necessary to Dulles in Dallas close to the big dance.

And his referring to Ruth Paine as Oswald's landlady is precious, as vintage Dulles as his referring to the murdered president with, "That little Kennedy. . .he thought he was a god."

Landlady. No, Ruth is a treasure to the Hieronymus Bosch corpse of CIA, beneath the 17,000 worker bees, in the creepy innards with the spiders and the millipedes.

In the sense that Colonel Rosa Klegg was a cleaning lady, yes, then Ruth Paine was Marina's "landlady."

Phil,

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

And Colonel Rosa Klegg - who is she? Off topic here, but I'd like to know.

Thanks.

Adele.
