"Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays!"
But this gives me a chance to make a comment about the use of the word 'homo' in my earlier post. Some might regard it as pejorative, but I don't. Homosexual men regularly refer to themselves as 'queer', which, to my ears, sounds quite negative. On the other hand, I deplore the use of the word 'gay' as an adjective describing a homosexual; 'gay' has had its original meaning completely displaced by politically correct style mandarins. I wonder what young people think nowadays when they first hear about 'The Gay Nineties' (if they do) or notice that Nietzsche wrote a book entitled The Gay Science (if they do)?
In any case, my earlier post was offered as a small amusement at the slight (but good-natured) expense of a certain segment of humanity. If there ever comes a time when the offense police suppress all such amusements, humor will have breathed its last.
P.S. to Frank: that Cool Hand Luke line is a great one, indeed. Here's the absolutely precise rendering of it:
"What we have here...is failure...to communicate."
For a long time, I thought there was an 'a' before 'failure', but there isn't. Another great Strother Martin line reading...
"What we have here...is failure...to communicate."
I have only seen this movie about 20 times so I may be wrong. Is there not a fabulous play on the word "here" so that it sounds to the ear as "hee-ya"?
The scene with Strother Martin playing the horse auctioneer to Mattie Ross (Kim Darby) in "True Grit" is also great. The dialog of that movie is one of kind. It also delivers another great quote:
"That's bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!"
==Robert Duvall (Ned Pepper) to Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne).
The rejoinder by Rooster is doubly memorable.
And there is John Wayne's monologue about his wife and son while he is intoxicated. Ahhh!
