"Puno ng palos ang aking hoberkrap"
Mentioning that you have a hovercraft, whether or not full of eels, in Manila would probably win you a few fiends as having one would make it easy to get around the many islands of the Phiiippines.

Have you ever wondered...whether it is because light travels faster than sound that some people appear bright until you hear them speak?
What They Said - There can be only one...Highlander opening monologue
From the dawn of time we came...moving silently down through the centuries. Living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the gathering, when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you.....until now.

What They Said - The Opening Monologue to Monkey - 70s TV Classic
In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order. But the phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown. The four worlds formed again and yet again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time and the pure essences of Heaven, the moisture of the Earth, the powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a certain rock, old as creation. And it became magically fertile. That first egg was named 'Thought'. Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha, said, 'With our thoughts, we make the World'. Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it then came a stone monkey. The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!

Theda Bara - How do we love thee let us count the ways.
Theda Bara is not a name familiar to most in the 21st Century but had you been around in the 1920s her name was inescapable particularly if you were a fan of the movies.
Theda Bara was a movie star in every sense of the word. She was a scandal, a sensation and one of the most bankable stars of the silent era.

More on Yvonne De Carlo
Technically it's actually a little less than in most of the shots in my previous post on the subject of Ms De Carlo but never mind. Still It had to be shared. Oh Yeah!
Clearly Photochopped but well worth the trouble.

Yvonne De Carlo - How do we love thee let us count the ways.
Yvonne De Carlo had a career in film and television spanning six decades. She was the recipient of not one but two stars on the Hollywood Boulevard walk of fame one for her contribution to the film industry and the second for her contribution to television.
De Carlo was reputedly an intimate of Howard Hughes and played opposite some of the most desirable and bankable leading men in the Hollywood of the 1940s and 50s including But Lancaster and Charlton Heston. She was a glamorous pin up girl who helped raise the morale of troops in the second world war but to most people she will forever be remembered as Lilly Munster in the 1960s monster comedy series.
All of these achievements, appearances and accolades, however fail to underscore the most obvious attribute Yvonne De Carlo possessed in abundance and that is that in her prime, which lasted quite a while, she was smoking hot.

"Huufarkarafkayga waxaa ka buuxa eels"When storlling through the streets of down town Mogadishu you might mention to a local that your hovercraft is full of eels to which the response is likely to be the Somali equivalent of "Full of what?" given that there is no word in Somali for eel.

Rescue divers searching the stricken cruise ship, Costa Concordia, have found two survivors within the wreckage of the stricken cruise liner.
The two men from Glasgow, Scotland, were found alive and well in one of the bars aboard the ship.
However, when approached by the rescue divers they told their rescuers to “Fuck Off!” and leave them alone as they had pre-paid for their drinks for the entire voyage.

Jayne Mansfield - how do we love thee let us count the ways.
Jayne Mansfield was a member of the 'Blonde Bombshell' posse of the 1950s and 1960s who, on her own admission, rose to fame on the captivating magnetism of her curvaceous figure and prodigious cleavage.Like so many others of her generation of movie stars,sex symbols and 'beautiful people' her flame burned ever so brightly and ever so briefly only to be tragically snuffed out prematurely.
A contemporary of Marilyn Monroe Jayne did not go by her own hand as Marilyn did but instead fell victim to a tragic motor vehicle accident leaving behind her young family. She was 34 years old when she died.
Jayne Mansfield's legacy has, however, lived on. Her daughter Mariska Hargitay, who was a passenger in the accident that claimed her mother's life, has gone on to make her own way in tinsel town and doing so on the strength of her father's name and not Mansfield.

If you should tell a Frenchman that your hovercraft is in fact full of eels he may well ask you where it is parked and invite you round for supper on the proviso that you bring some of the eels with you so that he can introduce you to the culinary classic Matelote d'Anguille or in English - Eel stew.
Betty White - How do we love thee let us count the ways.
You just gotta love Betty White. She is a grand damme of the showbiz industry and still comes out swinging most recently in a chocolate bar commercial where she's not affraid to take the piss out of herself. Also she's been around for ever! She was doing glam photoshoots back in the 40s and 50s and has always shown a very liberal attitude towards things such as sex and nudity.
She also has a really healthy perspective on things and a wicked sense of humour.
Prime example is one of my favourite Betty White quotes...
Also back in the day she was pretty damn fine...
