OPULENCE

 

He was opulence itself

With his lavish display

Of wealth and affluence

By means quite ample,

His riches clearly abundant

To put it another way

And to use the vernacular

He was totally Minted

WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY (5)

 

Who’s the daddy?

What we want is Watney's

When a stranger calls

Where eagles dare

Why not

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974)

 

“Young Frankenstein” is a comedy, written by Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder, based on characters from the novel “Frankenstein” by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and Directed by Mel Brooks.

A young neurosurgeon, Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) inherits the castle of his grandfather, the famous Dr. Victor von Frankenstein.

He has always tried to distance himself from his crazy grandfather and his insane obsession with reanimation, but he nonetheless leaves his fiancé Elizabeth (Madeline Kahn) and travels to Transylvania.

When he reaches the castle he finds a funny hunchback called Igor (Marty Feldman), a pretty lab assistant named Inga (Teri Garr) and the old housekeeper, Frau Blücher (Cloris Leachman).

Young Frankenstein also discovers the book where the mad doctor described his reanimation experiments, and he suddenly changes his mind about his grandfather and creates a monster (Peter Boyle).

A brilliant film, with Mel Books and Gene Wilder at their very best, shot in monochrome to capture the atmosphere of the classics of the horror genre, and with fine cameos from Kenneth Mars as Inspector Kemp, Richard Haydn as Herr Falkstein and Gene Hackman as the blind Hermit.

TRAFFIC COP – AVOID ANY REFERENCE

Sometimes you can talk

Your way out of a ticket

A little bit of charm

Is probably the safest bet

Humour can work as well

Providing you’re careful

And avoid any reference

WEST OF KINTYRE # 3

 

On the Mull of Kintyre

I stood atop the steep cliffs

On a day so crisp and clear

And looked out towards the west

Where it was possible to make out

The mice ran up the clock

The clock struck one

But the others escaped unscathed

ARE YOU WEARING DENIM?

 

Are you wearing denim?

I didn’t know you could still buy it

It’s just like I remember

And it still smells like shit
