Fooled by the Joker?

'Joker, Joker, the Devil!' (A take on the old game show: The Joker's Wild)

Together, preferring it to any Stallone film, my good friend, Jamie (Deadman) invited the Red Skull and I to the new Joker film. Jamie's (Zombie's) treat. As usual, the three stooges had an excellent evening.

 I am not a comic scholar, I do not care about the lives of fictional characters, and all the different versions in different worlds. But I know enough about the Joker, that in likely any fictional world presented, he will be a criminal that finds intense humour in intense human suffering and pain. 

The Joker makes, Dr. Doom, Dracula and the Red Skull seem like gentlemen.

When the Joker's humour and violence predictably occurred within the film, many in the theatre seemed agasped. I heard people behind me telling a child, apparently, that is was okay to watch the screen again. 

Many in the theatre seemed shocked when the film ended. (???)

I have one Joker comic book, above, originally from my childhood collection and the cover from 43 years ago provides context for what should have been expected by moviegoers. 

Illuminated enough by the 'DC comics and film realms', Zombie and Red Skull were laughing at the most violent parts of the film, while many patrons were shocked. Sigh, some people need to do a little research. One should have an idea of what he/she and especially one's children are going to view, in a public, paid, theatre.

Opinion: I would  not be shocked if a sequel is made with the Joker as the protagonist and Batman as the antagonist. 

Is red meat good for you? (Thanks, Chuck)

My dietitian, that is a vegetarian, admitted very recently (paraphrased) via email newsletter, that as science progresses, contradictory data will be in existence in regards to the positives and negatives of certain foods, including concerning red meat. She wrote that it might be fine to have a weekly steak. Well-stated.

Personally, I have found that increasing water intake (Perrier in my case), significantly decreasing sugar intake and maintaining a high fibre diet, is quite helpful for the health. Basically, I mainly leave significant sugar and junk food intake for social eating at restaurants and for social invites. These events are rare compared to eating at home. But, still, we all die in this realm, eventually (Genesis 1-3). I will keep looking like a 'kingpin' and not a beach model.

Chuckles may have at least three secret motives for sharing this article on Facebook:

1. Chuck hopes that the bizarre eschatological bible study from the 1990's, is still in existence and that he therefore has an excuse to hang out at that Vancouver, Burger King. At the Burger King he hopes to secretly listen into strange theories and conspiracies while chomping on burgers. He may sneak A&W food into Burger King to do so...

2. Chucky hopes that continued intake of red meat will assist in his stylish dome staying red in the spring/summer and that he can further maintain his nickname of the Red Skull. Sunscreen? Who needs it? Dummkopf, do not question Skull! 

3. Chuckles hopes that people keep buying red meat, so he can deliver it...

Blunt honesty: Special discount?

Vintage American Home

Today, I was chauffeuring a person that wanted to purchase a new desk chair at Staples.

This person was interested in the floor model which both this person and myself tested. It was quite comfortable.

The kindly Staples person stated (paraphrased):

Two reasons we will not sell you the floor model, although you can make a request via management...

1) He might have damaged the chair when he used the crane to move it into the store.

2) People have farted in the chair.

I appreciated the honesty and assistance, but thoughts came to mind of visiting a high-end antiques store or auction house, perhaps in Europe or in a major city in North America, and asking for a discount on an antique chair because decades of people have farted on it. and in it....

Special note attached with price tag: This antique chair has been farted on for decades (centuries, when required)

The identical chair, boxed, was purchased.

Impressive 7 @ 2 for Bayern Munich on the road

Impressive UEFA Champions League comeback as Bayern Munich was down 1 to nill, early. Still enjoying the DAZN coverage. Interesting post game show with no announcers. I did not mind it at all, just viewing the Bayern players celebrate after defeating last year's UEFA Champions League finalists, 7-2, at their home stadium in London.
