American author of one
of my favourite books-to-film:
'The Right Stuff'
(and Bonfire Of The Vanities,
The Kandy Kolored Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby,
Radical Chic & Mau Mauing The Flak Catchers)
Tom Wolfe, is a Southern Gentleman,The Kandy Kolored Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby,
Radical Chic & Mau Mauing The Flak Catchers)
and has always been a snappy dresser.
and he is clever too, I do declare.
Very nice. Very, very nice.
ReplyDeleteMy EDW will be late and short - but will appear before Thursday.
I loved the Bonfire of the Vanities, but have totally forgitten what it was about...oooo wah...oldtimer's disease
ReplyDeleteBloody hell, you said you were frightened of the tree last week. Was that the house with the car wreck in the drive? I told you I hate gum trees.
ReplyDeleteTom Wolfe also wrote The Right Stuff about the American Space Program, if I'm not mistaken. Philip Kaufman's 1983 film of that novel was terrific.
ReplyDeleteAs to your extreme weather travails BWCA, God speed. Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm.
Sorry about that, Chief. Thanks for not writing "Duh!" or "wtf can't you read?!?" Anyway, we both love that film.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are okay. Our old house was positively surrounded by really huge gum trees and it was a fool who went out on windy days...and the kids seldom played under tham on any day as the massive killer branches would just drop...all you would hear was a crack...Used to tell the kids to run to the trunk of the closest standing tree as it might offer a bit of protection if they didn't know where that "crack" came from...too bloody late to look up...I hated them being so close
ReplyDeleteReminds me a little of Colonel Sanders.
ReplyDeleteBon? please not after Bon Jovi?
ReplyDeleteIf you get a grandchild named "Ted", time to start worrying. "Angry" would be OK,though.
ReplyDeleteI've just updated the blogroll - it's kind of nice that your new blogname is in the same position as the old one!
ReplyDeleteI haven't copied your strapline in the alt.text just in case...

What a coquettish lass you are, but then a grandmama no less.
ReplyDeleteNice blog. Good to see you blogging.
ReplyDeleteEver considered running a Badly Dressed Sunday feature, where you post photographs of various non-entity celebrities suffering from hang overs, unshaven, ciggies hanging from the cracked lips, in their underwear and socks watching the soap operas? My first nomination would be for Lord Sedgwick, eyes like two under-poached eggs and the sort of 'Y' fronts that wombats could use as a hammock, following an all-night drinking binge of Pimms and winkles.
ReplyDeleteLovely choice BWCA

Ahhh... Not just a name and a game, Ann, but a therapy as well. Have you tried it? Does it work?
ReplyDeleteApologies to all Commentors above whose comments now make no sense as a result of me deleting my own (identifying) response comments. Have been 'outed elsewhere lately and am just covering arse from that cyberstalker who is about.
