SilentStrider said it first, but I said it best.


OOOOOOOH!

Barracuda.

I can't pronounce "bacaruda."

Wanted for questioning:

SilentStrider: oooooooooooh barracuda.

Heart trifecta in play.

Neruda wrote this after Stalin died.


To be men! That is the Stalinist law! . . .
We must learn from Stalin
his sincere intensity
his concrete clarity. . . .
Stalin is the noon,
the maturity of man and the peoples.
Stalinists, Let us bear this title with pride. . . .
Stalinist workers, clerks, women take care of this day!
The light has not vanished.
The fire has not disappeared,
There is only the growth of
Light, bread, fire and hope
In Stalin's invincible time! . . .
In recent years the dove,
Peace, the wandering persecuted rose,
Found herself on his shoulders
And Stalin, the giant,
Carried her at the heights of his forehead. . . .
A wave beats against the stones of the shore.
But Malenkov will continue his work.

When he was in the Spanish Civil War in the 30s he also acted as the anti-Schindler. A Canadian grain ship was contracted to evacuate the rebels and he went through the evacuees with a list and had revolutionaries whose communist purity was in doubt removed and left behind.

He was also instrumental in the arranging of the assassination of Leon Trotsky in Mexico City.

So he can rot in hell and the only problem with any poisoning was that it didn't happen 40 years earlier.

abhorrent1: RIP

Almost died laughing. One of the better forms of that meme I've seen in a while.



/+1 internets to you too subby

He wrote great stuff. My son discovered him while doing research for a lit paper and I was hooked.

Always thought his death was a tad suspicious. Will be interesting to find out whether it is or not.

SilentStrider: oooooooooooh barracuda.


Unavailable for comment, so who will you run to now?

skate919: I can't pronounce "bacaruda."

It's easy. It rhymes with "Pablo Neruda."

Since the exit of Pinochet, Chile has built a stable country with an economy that is arguably the envy of Latin America. But human beings can never leave the past buried......

Well some people try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and
So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole

The death of ol' Pablo Neruda
was something not well understooda.
Some claim it was trauma
brought on by the drama;
something something barracuda.

OK that sucked
