A few years ago I found a letter written to my grandmother by a women. The letter stated that my grandmother was married to the woman’s husband. The Mexican divorce that he had (attempted) to obtain was not valid. <br /><br />I don’t know why, after the annulment, he didn’t obtain a valid divorce and remarry my grandmother. My grandmother never talked about him. My mother liked him and I have pictures of my mother with him (she was about 5 then). I know that polygamy was an issue in Arizona in the past. <br /><br />There is a little family soap opera of which I will never learn the details. readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646435624758228925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-15232744316609560492019-12-24T11:01:33.568-06:002019-12-24T11:01:33.568-06:00Althouse

You may have read of the remarkable explorations of a Norwegian named Sigerson, but I am sure that it never occurred to you that you were receiving news of your friend. I then passed through Persia, looked in at Mecca, and paid a short but interesting visit to the Khalifa at Khartoum, the results of which I have communicated to the Foreign Office. Returning to France I spent some months in a research into the coal-tar derivatives, which I conducted in a laboratory at Montpelier, in the South of France. tcrossehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13861315905142017219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-31253744981420103992019-12-24T09:44:47.562-06:002019-12-24T09:44:47.562-06:00That photo looks like Floyd the barber and Helen C...That photo looks like Floyd the barber and Helen Crump from some sort of noir stage adaptation of the Andy Griffith Show.Tom T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09539041295879675002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-13681120442831061042019-12-24T09:18:51.178-06:002019-12-24T09:18:51.178-06:00I saw that movie!

He wasn't convicted but he was raped in prison and lost his scholarship so he had to drop out of school.<br /><br />I can't remember if he was actually guilty of the rape he was charged with originally, but there's your #MeToo/college Title IX sex crime prosecution angle (as well as a school-to-prison pipeline one, a prison violence creating worse criminals instead of rehabilitating people one, etc).HoodlumDoodlumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591221162603652473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-23913107316581025152019-12-24T09:16:09.350-06:002019-12-24T09:16:09.350-06:00@ khematite

I didn't know it was him (and I'm still not 100% sure - it seems so unbelievable). But it's just as well. At that age, I would really have made a fool of myself if I met a celebrity, so instead of kicking myself now for not recognizing him and saying something, I would be kicking myself for not being able to keep my big mouth shut.Lurker21https://www.blogger.com/profile/05692740653467688670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-49331676185828129222019-12-24T08:52:38.205-06:002019-12-24T08:52:38.205-06:00Alligators get a bad rap.

Not all one sentence, though:<br /><br />PLAYBOY: Mistake or not, what made you decide to go the rock-'n'-roll route?<br /><br />DYLAN: Carelessness. I lost my one true love. I started drinking. The first thing I know, I'm in a card game. Then I'm in a crap game. I wake up in a pool hall. Then this big Mexican lady drags me off the table, takes me to Philadelphia. She leaves me alone in her house, and it burns down. I wind up in Phoenix. I get a job as a Chinaman. I start working in a dime store, and move in with a 13-year-old girl. Then this big Mexican lady from Philadelphia comes in and burns the house down. I go down to Dallas. I get a job as a "before" in a Charles Atlas "before and after" ad. I move in with a delivery boy who can cook fantastic chili and hot dogs. Then this 13-year-old girl from Phoenix comes and burns the house down. The delivery boy - he ain't so mild: He gives her the knife, and the next thing I know I'm in Omaha. It's so cold there, by this time I'm robbing my own bicycles and frying my own fish. I stumble onto some luck and get a job as a carburetor out at the hot-rod races every Thursday night. I move in with a high school teacher who also does a little plumbing on the side, who ain't much to look at, but who's built a special kind of refrigerator that can turn newspaper into lettuce. Everything's going good until that delivery boy shows up and tries to knife me. Needless to say, he burned the house down, and I hit the road. The first guy that picked me up asked me if I wanted to be a star. What could I say?<br /><br />PLAYBOY: And that's how you became a rock-'n'-roll singer?<br /><br />DYLAN: No, that's how I got tuberculosis.khematitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703448582263018409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-66094106610947200322019-12-24T07:56:09.312-06:002019-12-24T07:56:09.312-06:00If I recall correctly, there's an 'Apocaly...If I recall correctly, there's an 'Apocalypse Now' outtake where, on set, a muttering Brando is fed up with a motormouth Hopper and throws a piece of fruit at him.<br /><br />Two Method-acting Marx brothers, perhaps.<br /><br />I am Laslo.Laslo Spatulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723170304227216635noreply@blogger.com
