Here it is. It says: ‘From “The Secret Policeman’s Ball” 1979 benefit for Amnesty International.’
Atkinson is totally doing Mr. Bean. That is awesome.
(I looked it up, and apparently he’s been doing that character since he was studying for his master’s degree in electrical engineering, though he didn’t settle on the name “Mr. Bean” until performing the character at a 1987 Canadian comedy festival.)
Is there a real world reason for separating goats from sheep?
A bit from Quora that came back on the Google Search page:
I have to admit I had never before thought about this!
“I have needs!”
We might be on our way to a record number of concurrent posts that have nothing to do with the subject of the thread.
I am NOT complaining. Watching Rowan Atkinson confuse Peter Cook, instead of seeing Donald The Disgraced, means I’m a lot saner.
But no matter how far the thread strays, we will never run out of things about DJT that piss us off. It’s a constant, like the speed of light or the swallows returning to Capistrano.
Ooh, new tangent! When I was at Capistrano, all the “swallows” looked a lot like pigeons…
It takes more than one swallow to make a relationship Summer.

And so far, he’s been right.
Sure seems so, so far.
It turns out that he was not only tearing up presidential memos and the like (forcing staff to follow after him, gather up the pieces, and tape them back together, because of the Presidential Records Act requiring that all things written down must be saved) – in some cases he actually BURNED the papers. We may never know the worst of what he did
Blecccch.
See post 784 (Feb 1) above.
Hey, get off their case! They taped some of the stuff back together before sending to the National Archives-- that should count for something!
Oh, I knew about the “torn up and taped together” post. I was reporting on the ones that were burned. I hadn’t heard about that before. Kinda hard to tape back together a burned paper
(Although, as most mystery fans know, if the ashes haven’t been crumbled you can still get part of the message. See Hound of the Baskervilles, Murder on the Orient Express, one old Dick Tracy comic strip, etc.)
