The viewer may also axe, how could the Real Killers pass Blake twice on the way to and from the restaurant? The answer is amazingly simple and O.J. Simpsons recent history of searching golf courses for the Real Killers provides a clue. While Blake was walking, and a 68 year old male can't walk very fast in the LA smog, the Real Killers rode a golf cart.
"This is what James Bond carries. Robert Blake must see himself as a cross between Baretta and James Bond."
I know nobody likes a pedant, but it's actually ".380," or 9mm Kurz(short)
In modern usage, unless otherwise specified, .38 is used to refer to the .38 Special revolver cartrdige.
sorry, sorry, sorry...nobody likes a nitpicker...
Blake has said he returned to the Italian restaurant to retrieve a gun he left behind and which he used to protect himself and his wife. He told cops that when he returned to his car, he found his wife shot.
Help me with this one, because the moronic media doesn't seem to be asking this question, at least I don't think so, so maybe you can answer this:
If Blake said he went back to the restaurant to get his gun, where is it? Did he present it to the police? Was it tested? Is it just a deranged story?
Axe = Axsk???
You might find this link interesting. It is Blakes app for conceal and carry permit. It list three weapons he is permitted to carry.
Yes, of course. Thanks for axsking (I don't resemble your remark like some would.) In the meantime, I checked my Dictionary of Difficult Words to verify - no wonder most people spell it phonetically, "axe"!
Had no idea such a thing existed. I was just having a bit of fun "correcting" you on something stupid like axe! You will never have to worry about me seriously correcting spelling here. That drives me nuts.
I am forwarding your findings to Harland Braun, the feckless defense attorney for Barretta. As a reward for your startling apercu, I am also earmarking two tickets for my planned Short Guys Film Festival to be held at the Elks Lodge in Livermore Falls. We will review the films of Alan Ladd, William Conrad, and Robert Blake, and any other star shorter than Dustin Hoffman.
It will take place shortly.
Tell us everything you know, Shermy. Enquiring minds want to know. Any facts you turn up could be crucial to Revolting Cat's continuing investigation of this bizarre crime, which dwarfs 9/11, The Intifada, and Major League Baseball, and could seriously impact on my planning of the long-awaited Short Guys Film Festival.
It does exist (although it doesn't contain "ask" or axe". That can be found in the Ebonics Dictionary of Difficult Words) I picked it up at Borders for a buck. 292 pages, soft cover, full title "QPB Dictionary of Difficult Words", originally published in 1994 in the UK under the title "The Hutchison Dictionary of Difficult Words" by Helicon Publishing Ltd.
