Ray’s Thought for the Day - Dead Man Walking
As everyone with a lick of sense knows, Crumby, my bosom companion, and I, like to do movie reviews on rare occasions. So far, we have combined on two or three in depth movie reviews, maybe, Red River, fer sure.
Many may recall that in a movie similar to Red River, starring Glen Ford and Jack Lemon, all the hands are poverty stricken due to hard times, just like in Red River. Yet, even during hard times and relentless drudgery, the hands have plenty of energy and leisure time to play with a poisonous serpent. Naturally, the poisonous serpent bites one of the skylarking hands in the neck That hand then dies a horrible, miserable death. That’s why all the safety programs on all the jobs warn you hands against playing goosey goose and grab ass at work.
Now remember. It is hard times. So naturally a surviving hand takes the boots off the dead hand’s feet. But he left the socks. After that, the hand that got those boots, was, metaphorically speaking, a dead man walking.
I enjoy shopping the shoe and boot aisles at the Goodwill. Not only does shopping at Goodwill make me feel smart, I also get to speculate on which pair of shoes and boots might confer the status, dead man walking, on me. But forget all that.
We have a scenario developing just like in the various cowboy movies. Consider, John Wayne versus Montgomery Cliff, Glen Ford versus Jack Lemon, John McCain versus Barack Obama. It is a classic scenario. This scenario is even more classic than mere old cowboy movies indicate. The scenario is actually ancient.
OK. Do not forget about the dead man walking. Remember the dead man walking. McCain is old. He could easily pass on at any moment. Hopefully, he shall pass on at a location convenient to someone finding him in a hurry. But the question is, by then, will times be so hard, that whoever finds him shall swipe his shoes or boots. Consider. What would such a pair of McCain’s footgear fetch on EBAY?
