quote:
I remember Jernigan AKA "The most Interesting Man in the World who does not drink Dos Equiis but drinks Rioja" told a tale of some thinly veiled society ladies in a club in Morocco- and given enough time I'll find the connections between Antonio Torres, strawberry blonds, Titian the painter and the Zapruder film. There is an old, traditional western (cowboy) song entitled "The Strawberry Roan," that might account for the confusion regarding strawberry blonds, and if the Zapruder film is part of the mix, can the "grassy knoll" be far behind? General Douglas MacArthur's final speech at West Point, delivered not long before he passed away, contains the famous line that no one on the plain that day will ever forget: "Today marks my final roll call with you. But I want you to know that when I cross the river my last conscious thoughts will be of the Corps, and the Corps, and the Corps. I bid you farewell." The same sentiments might be expressed by anyone who has spent time at the Emperador in Madrid: "When I cross the river my last conscious thoughts will be of the Emperador, and the Emperador, and the Emperador, thinly veiled to me now as it is." All of the above, of course, spans a direct link between Antonio de Torres and the thinly veiled society ladies in Morocco. Cheers, Bill
