Going to Bohemian Grove to fuck an owl with Henry Kissinger is just gross - like partying with your parents.

I'd rather fuck an owl than Henry Kissinger tbh

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that.

Going to Bohemian Grove - ok
to fuck an owl - yes
with Henry Kissinger - no

but don't be sad, cause two out of three ain't bad

Let the record show that I am NOT into sex with Henry Kissinger as an idea. However, it's way more likely to be consensual than sex with an owl.

Kissinger may be a monster in historical terms, but let's not drag innocent nocturnal birds into the discussion.

"Well, my dear boy, let's discuss the terms of this concupiscence..."

Okay I will make an exception for fictional anthropomorphized cartoon owls

That's more Bolsonaro's bag.

Don't we've mentioned actress-singer Georgia Holt, Cher's Mom:

Holt was the subject of the 2013 Lifetime documentary Dear Mom, Love Cher, which was executive produced by her daughter, Cher. The same year, Holt also released her album Honky Tonk Woman, which was recorded in 1982 with Elvis Presley's band. It was Holt's discovery of the tapes which led to the documentary project.[1] The album includes a duet with Cher titled "I'm Just Your Yesterday".[7]

dang, you coulda put "cher's mom" in the list of people I had no idea were still alive thread

Ali Ahmed Aslam was my landlord in the early 90s (my then flat had once been part of his restaurant but they downsized a bit). He'd give me a chicken tikka masala every time i paid the rent. i knew it had allegedly been invented at the Shish Mahal but it is only now that he has died I realise he was the actual inventor of it. Glasgow hero!

Wow!

I've certainly had worse landlords!

We've lost the Doner Kebab and Tikka Masala inventor in the last couple of years, takeaway game's gone tbh

Maxi Jazz, 65

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/dec/24/maxi-jazz-lead-singer-of-faithless-dies-aged-65

way too young

shit - he was a tremendous intriguing presence on those early Faithless hits

RIP!

I saw Faithless three times before they went stadium sized, and they really were a fantastic live act back then, actually my favourite band for a couple of years. They got a good deal less interesting very quickly after that, but perhaps it’s time to reconnect with those first two albums and their attendant singles, as the later stuff has rather clouded my memories of when they were properly slamming.
