Things that make you go.......WTF? Part II

Post by **David** » Mon Feb 22, 2021 9:00 am

Had a dream last night that my partner had been letting our six-year-old son watch Game of Thrones (a show I've never actually seen myself but whose content I'm roughly familiar with). Describing my reaction as horrified would be putting it lightly.

I have a possum sleeping in a hanging pot on my front porch.

It's pretty small, potentially a young one booted out of home, got drunk, fell into the pot and decided to sleep there.

I had to move my small outdoor table where I normally eat Breakfast as it was right under the pot and I don't want to find out how possum piss goes with eggs.

I'll be watching how he gets out come dark, good luck climbing up, I reckon the swan dive into the rose bush below may be the thing.

Definitely can vouch possum piss will not go well will anything! I once had a possum piss on my head and went down my face onto my chest, bloody disgusting smell. Did make my workmates day though, they thought it was hilarious.

Hmmm I’m wondering what that dream means!!! The mind boggles!

I'm not 100% sure, but I remember a few days previously chatting to a father at school who casually mentioned that he'd shown his four-year-old son the "Mr Creosote" scene from The Meaning of Life. I understand that everyone has differing views on what's suitable to show their children, but man, that scene even disturbed me when I first saw it, and I was a teenager then! I recall reading that most of the group didn't even want to include it in the film because of how grotesque it was, until one of them pointed out that what was really funny about it was John Cleese's performance as the waiter. Anyway, I dunno, maybe it's harmless, but I guess it got my brain working in the background.

That kind of stuff is unfortunately typical.

When Ruby Rose was selected to be Batwoman on the CWTV, there was an outcry from certain parties that she "Wasn't gay enough" because she identified as something other than clear Lesbian. Batwoman was the first out Lesbian superhero in comics.

She bailed from social media, did season 1 and did it damn well, I loved her in the role, then didn't renew for season 2. I don't know but can only presume the reasons.

The whole concept of acting I thought was to be able to portray a character that wasn't you. If you need to be gay to play a gay on screen, does that preclude gays from straight or non-specified roles?

Ian Fleming wrote James Bond as the archetypal Englishman and the best ever Bond on screen was a burly Scot.

Background Briefing has a programme on him (more or less) which is gob smacking when exposing his behaviour.

It's a shocker of a story. But the elephant in the room here is: how can our prison system be so inhumane that anyone could be treated like this, guilty or innocent? It's not the $#%^ing dark ages. Reform is needed urgently.

Currently before the courts. Let’s hope the good Justice Vasta gets what’s coming to him. Was he auditioning for a role as judge in Louisiana in the 1930’s?
