Random Tuesday Thoughts

Peter O'Toole.
Need I say more?

§§§

Leslie Nielsen.
No Shirley jokes, please. Ever see him in Forbidden Planet? Or the Poseidon Adventure? As the Swamp Fox? Tammy and The Bachelor? He was great. Even before Airplane! But oh, so funny after that.

§§§

I wish my toenails grew faster. And my nose hair slower.

§§§

I have a very realistic looking fake foot in my closet. It was used as an anatomical model for teaching nurses how to check for neuropathy, but I keep it just to freak people out when they come to visit my house. You now have a heads up on that.

§§§

Oh, and Peter O'Toole isn't dead yet. Eventually he will be, but not at the time of this writing. 

§§§

If you've never been to Centralia, Pennsylvania (and why the hell would you have been?), you should put it on your list of creepy places to visit, or even on your list of regular places to visit. However, it is not regular. It is a ghost town. I love going there, especially in winter.

  1. PETER O' TOOLE. Give the man a freaking Oscar already. Lion in Winter with Katherine, How to Steal a Million with Audrey. So charming. And the man is still working his ass off.

    I didn't know about your surgery, but gallstones terrify me. So does surgery, in fact. Glad you're back at 'em. And LOVE the 2nd picture.

  2. I'm packing my bags for Centralia! Even the name sounds made up. Underground mine fires? Where else can you get that kind of excitement?

    Glad you're alive and blogging. Those pictures are artsy to the max.

    Happy RTT

  3. Peter O'Toole: You must see him in "Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell". Even when you want to be totally disgusted with him, you can't take your eyes off of him.

    Centralia: Watching the gases drift up out of the ground from everywhere, and especially from the cemetery, makes you shudder involuntarily. Truly amazing to experience a modern day ghost town.

  4. I have a very cheesy unrealistic fake arm in my closet at work. It too is quite handy. Huh.
