Where in the World is Alf? (Part XI)
Following Part X
April 8-13, 2003
Reader L. Mawkley of Cedar Rapids, Iowa writes:
"Could we have something a little more wholesome for a change? Gratuitous 'crotch shots' are not something that is welcome in our Methodist household."
And from a youthful reader ... Master J. Parsons of Davie, Florida asks:
"Where is Susan?"
For the Mawkley family: we at THOCBDC are happy to bring you a shot or two of Watcharee shopping for HolsumTM branded products. [see * and **, below]
Turning to Davie's Middle Schooler, we can give him a wide-to-telescopic 'poke' at Susan's place.
* It should be noted that webmaster P.F. of Washington state was raised in a Tastee BreadTM family. Further, A.E. and his immediate flock had a vested interest in Quality Bakers of America offerings (little Miss Sunbeam stuff).
** All three of these bakery brands, along with the popular "we build strong bodies twelve ways" Wonder Bread, were (are) largely composed of air. 'Squishability' was the desired goal of their makers ... taste, of course, was totally immaterial, provided it was not absolutely offensive. To carry this a bit further (and, for example): after the crust was removed from a slice of bread the then 'albinic' product could be rolled between the thumb and forefinger and reduced to a small ball of gelatinous stuff ... and, if laden with consumer generated finger-dirt, it then achieved user-enhanced status.
Res Ipsa!

Reader Andy Page (a Brit) sent the following sad news ... but before we go to the disturbing text let's relive THOCBDC's last flight on the Concorde: when 4 or 5 of us were forced to Concorde it to Europe to link up with CBI.
Concorde to retire by end of 2003
Concorde has been ravaged by safety problems
British Airways will confirm on Thursday that it is retiring its supersonic Concorde service, the BBC has learned. Passenger numbers have never recovered since the crash near Paris in 2000 and the aircraft no longer makes a profit.
Concorde is expected to cease flying in the autumn, probably when BA's summer timetable ends on the last weekend of October, BBC transport correspondent Simon Montague said.
Air France has made no comment on whether it is also close to pulling its Concorde service.
There were reports it would retire the service by 2007.
Concorde has been blighted by a rash of problems.
Three years ago 113 people were killed in the Paris crash.
Engine failure
At the end of last year it emerged engine failure forced one New York-bound plane to turn back to London and another flight was forced to cut its speed when cracks appeared in a window.
In January this year, an Air France Concorde covering the Paris to New York route was forced to return to Charles de Gaul airport when the plane's nose cone was unable to move into position for supersonic speed.
Past incidents
In November 2002, part of the rudder on a British Airways Concorde fell off as the plane was flying between London and New York.
And earlier that month passengers flying on an Air France Concorde had a scare as the pilot was forced to make the plane rapidly descend 8,000 metres (27,000 feet) after one of its jet engines failed.
An investigation concluded that the July 2000 disaster happened after a piece of metal lying on the runway burst one of plane's tyres.
Currently, BA's Concordes are certified to fly until 2009.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) and the Civil Aviation Authority both say Concorde remains safe to fly.
Both Air France and BA Concorde services have been badly affected in recent months by the American economic downturn and the Iraqi conflict.
The plane, born out a joint Anglo-French project, and developed by engineers at Filton, near Bristol, operates daily out of London Heathrow and Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport to North America.
It cruises at around 1350 mph at an altitude of up to 60,000ft (11 miles) meaning a crossing from Europe to New York takes less than three and a half hours.
Reader S. Beamish of Waterloo, Iowa writes (asks):
"Now that the war is over, any chance of showing us some Hollywood 'cheesecake'?
Sure, and can you guess who they are?
And, can you guess who they are? Big hint: Sarajevo, 1984. Small hint: THOCBDC's visit to The Plaza Hotel and Greenwich Village in New York City. Use the 'password' and the 'user' name to find out more.
Caption: "Elena and Oleg are each others first and only partners after switching to pairs late in their careers at ages 15 and 18, respectively."
Reader T. Wine-Queeb of Baltimore, Maryland writes:
"Celebrities, super-models ... that's all you write about! What about the common folks ... the salt of the earth? Hey, man, sprinkle some of them around. Otherwise get fucked."
You got it, Queeb!

Yesterday THOCBDC brought you the 'wanted'. But, reader Y. Hindyke of Vancouver, BC, Canada writes:
"One of the characters in the novel CHOKE says that sex is best with girls who are behind bars. Ah ... actually, I think the guy says that if you know that the girl is going to be safely in the slammer for the rest of the night ... I mean after you are through ... well, you don't have to worry about who is on your pillow in the morning. How about showing us some of these? Huh?"
OK! [These ladies are from PrisonPenPals©.]

Finally... I've put my words and thoughts together. My name is Raylene, I'm 31 years old, and of African and Native American descent. I've been incarcerated since I was 17 years old, and now that I'm getting close to going home (Los Angeles, CA) I just felt like doing something different. I'm seeking a male pen-pal (possible mate) between 35-55 that has a sense of humor, a good heart, and is ready to start living-"you love what you find time to do..." What you do in time finds you ... make time for love." I'm hoping to connect with someone close to myself or delightfully opposite. I enjoy reading, writing, dancing, and most outdoor sports. I am a big Rams fan and also a lover of music. I've never been married, and I have no children. However I do adore them. Kids are fine but a wife is definitely not optional. I know what I want, do you? Maybe we should discuss it... Raylene Brooks # W-40103 |
