That was very funny!

Get the GIMP. It's freeware, very powerful. I've used it for years.

Banana Republic metaphor... Just a guess.

Thanks for the tip Patton.

Sounds like a good job for an a-salt rifle. It's a small plastic 'rifle' gun that uses compressed air to shoot a small amount of table salt. You can shoot flying bugs right out of the sky with it. Fun toy for big kids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz7NtqlHZIQ

I was thinking The Expendables 2010. Not recent.

He worked with Arnold "Screw your Freedom" Schwarzenegger.

I would have a tough time verifying I am human. 'wink'

I'm in my early 60's, I never imagined such things. Color me naive.

This is scary stuff. 'How to Create a Psychopath' 1.01

With all due respect, is anyone surprised? This was a PR boondoggle from the start. I considered the money wasted immediately, it served no one.

Exactly. Pointing your finger and assigning blame is easy. We are better than that.

Well stated. Don't take the bait. We are one. Maintain your focus. Stay positive. Show respect, be a light, show the way.

My goodness www.theguardian.com is a poor excuse for journalism. British journalism is worse than USA.

I suspect he is highly leveraged.

This is a very good point.

Ouch

The TV told me he was a criminal; and a sleazy, dishonest con man. I just hate everything about him. I have no critical thinking skills. I believe everything I see on TV.

It is hard to justify the expense of returning this filth to its place of origin.

There is a movie called "the Beast Within" from 1982, which is about the cicada. Rob Zombie also wrote a song about the "Seventeen Year Locust" They are extremely loud. After they mate they leave behind a creepy carapace which can be found clinging to trees. We would carefully remove them and wear them on our sweaters when we were kids.

"Stananic"?
