Terry: >>I sure you remember the ending to this one:
>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boy_and_His_Dog One of my favorites. I heard from the media back in around 1980 that J. Falwell was a really bad guy. No internet back then. He had a rally at the state capitol here and I lived nearby, so I went down to watch him. Do you remember from the movie the "Michaels" - androids with smiles stuck on their faces? Falwell had several Michaels, and there was a scene almost out of the movie when Falwell called someone out of the crowd he had previously met to come up onto the stage, a slightly built Filipino man. The Michaels apparently didn't get the memo, and as he climbed up the stairs to the stage one of them picked the poor little guy up in the air and looked he was about to give him some sort of "farm accident" (pop his head like a zit) with Falwell struggling from behind to get the Michael's attention and release his victim. Through the whole thing the sanctimonious smile on the Michael's face never changed! In the movie the Dear Leader asked his security guy or engineer to see about getting those smiles fixed, and so it seems he never did. Although the incident was funny and amazing at the time, I believe that movie was made some years before Falwell arose to notoriety but the similarities between Falwell and the crazy religious dictator with his killer robots were horrifying. I left the rally that day with the same feeling in my stomach I got swimming in dark water near a harbor entrance and seeing a fin cutting water towards me that was so big at first I mistook it for a submarine conning tower. Glad it all worked out: the giant shark just wanted the fish guts washed off deck by a returning sampan, and Falwell has since diminished to nothing. And ... wait for it...at least the shark had good taste!* R. (*Spoiler alert: paraphrasing the last line from the movie)
