FREDERICK BAZILLE

 

In the woodlands of burgundy

A bright light of impressionism

Was cut down by Prussian rifles

In the name of French imperialism

 

His corpse left decaying in a ditch

Found by his father under burgundy skies

A founder member of a movement

Unnamed until long after his demise

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS (1957)

 

“The Spirit of St. Louis” is a biographical drama, based on the book by Charles A. Lindbergh adapted by Charles Lederer and Directed by Billy Wilder.

The film is a Biography of Charles “Slim” Lindburgh’s life, covering the period from his days on the precarious mail runs in aviation's infancy with his friend Bud Gurney (Murray Hamilton) to his solo transatlantic crossing from Roosevelt Field on New York's Long Island to Le Bourget Airport in Paris.

But he was more than a pilot because Charles Augustus 'Slim' Lindbergh (James Stewart) co-financed the Spirit of St. Louis, a fabric-covered, single-seat, single-engine “Ryan NYP” high-wing monoplane which he jointly designed with Ryan's chief engineer Donald A. Hall (Arthur Space).

But the drama of the story comes once he is airborne and alone in the empty skies with only the open ocean below him.

WHATS IN A NAME (26)

 

Does anyone know if Alfred Sung?

Does anyone think is Sean Young?

Does anyone know is Koo Stark?

Would anyone know was Yvonne Darke?

THE LYNX EFFECT

 

I bought some new Aftershave,

You should try it

It smells of sunflower seeds

The birds really love it

DIVORCE IS..... # 1

 

Divorce is…

Cathartic, purification

Therapeutically purgative

Like colonic irrigation

TUNNEL OF SELF LOVE

 

When a narcissist’s riding of

The tunnel of love is planned

He’ll want to sit alone in a car

So, he can hold his own hand

BASILDON BIMBETTE

 

Bimbette had to fill out a form

A task she found hard to perform

Finally, she only had one box to go

Where it said “sign here” she wrote Leo
