I’d have preferred it if they’d bothered to put an actual ending in it. Other than that, everything to say has already been said. Again and again and… Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem [bonk!] ---

The Moderators would like to apologize to the audience. Those responsible for sacking the OP, have been sacked. The thread has now been moderated in a completely different style, and at great expense. –Ralph, the Mexican Whooping LlamaMod ---

MP&HG was not just the first MP I saw. It was also the first HBO I was exposed to. In the late 70’s/early 80’s I was around 10 at my Great Uncles house at Fort Myer (possibly this was thanksgiving. Can’t remember) and sat in the back room watching it alone while everyone else did their thing. I’d never seen anything like it because there had never been anything like it. Fun fact: The city of Amiens, France is actually an Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune. ---
