Harrogate doesn't know whether mamma had it right, or whether it's Lieutenant Dan....

Whether we all have a destiny, or whether we're all just floating around random-like.

But. Harrogate thinks maybe it's----BOTH. Both, happening at the same time......

I still do not like Gump, mainly because it took away the well deserved Oscars of Morgan Freeman and the cast of The Shawshank Redemption, which was a far superior movie.

The Reverend John Todd said...

As I am a figure from the nineteenth century, my vision is not what it once was. That said, it appears that the beastly figure on the right--the P, as it were--has hairy pits.

As Solon and Reverent Todd eloquently point out, perhaps this is not an altogether acceptable or comfortable revision of the original photograph.

The Reverend John Todd said...

Actually, Oxymoron, given the observation in my comment above, I submit that any revision--save plucking the wooly P from the scene altogether-- will fall short of extinguishing the pain and discomfort that the photograph kindles in me. It will remain always vulgar.
