Sirrah: As to your first point: an obvious example of the presence of a
Reticularian influence.
As to the second point: I heard a pretty smart feller say, rather defiantly,
"Wellsir," he said, "I may be a Gringo, but at least I don't believe in
magic!" Skepticus

>I just got this dish thing and it came with three months of movies. There

>A pal's Mom told a great story about the three wise men. It would get the
>Pentecostals up in arms.

>The wise guys saw a star; and took off to see where it was pointing. That
>is the weak part of the story but in those days there wasn't much ambient
>light. These wise guys were from India and they got there late, by two or
>three years and they showed up at Herod's house. Mistake? Well he was the
>king, right? Oh and their names are never really recorded unless herod has
>a record of the visitors?
>
>They spilled the beans and good Ole Herod decided that all the boy childs
>should be offed. The wise guys split and poked around until they found old
>Jesse and his dad and then what? What happened to all that stuff they
>brought, that Myrrh and Francense and the gold? Mary and Joe used it to set
>up a business? Carpenter shop making groovy furniture?
>
>Now I read somewhere else that Joseph, of where ever it was, was a "techt"
>which means he designed buildings and was quite wealthy. He got to stay in
>the special apartment over the stable. He had to pay his taxes of which he
>had a bunch and that was why he showed up. Mary in this research (?) was
>from Ireland and came by boat to Palestine.
>
>So as a good Episcopalian, I am doomed to hell, for thinking that this
>stuff might actually be on the money. And who were these Mathew, John, Mark
>and Luke? They were on the scene? No, they were Jesse's guys later and
>heard the story. They needed some good tale to tell and so they worked on
>it, waited for awhile and wrote all the stuff down. And as usual no one got
>the story straight just sort of. They embellished it of course to wow the
>natives.
>
>And Dec. 25th, is an arbitrary day chosen by the Roman emperor in
>Constantinople. He just said it is, and it was. "Make it so Mr. Scott."

>I really like the "Dia de Virgin Guadalupe." it is actually very nice and
>oh so religious.The Mexicans and Latinos have it correct. Religion is
>wonderful when it is practiced for the religion and the feeling of grace
>that it imparts on the participants. One gets a union from all the people
>who are worshipping together and there is a power that comes from it that
>enters your body, your soul, your spirit. A feeling that is so hard to get
>from the gringos. They don't seem to get it. A lot of them are just there
>for the being there and being seen.

>Our society has a large missing element. That of the mystic. The magic that
>once was. I saw in a film awhile back, a long while back; Merlin telling
>Arthur that there used to be Dragons but people started to forget and
>started no believing in them so they all died. An interesting idea.

>>It was an incredible performance. He was....for a while...truly gifted.
>>Then...boing...something went wrong. Especially around the time of the

>>Meanwhile, I still crave...........Fred Allen, Jack Benny, Shelly Berman,
>>Bob Newhart, Jonathon Winters, Buddy Hackett, Sid Ceasar (sp?) and the

>> Secondly, I believe that there were no "special effects" in The Mask.
