Real World Address
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished
Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.
— Van der Leun

Remember the portable hole the black spy vs spy used to use?
When the white spy was after him he pulled the flexible hole out of his trench coat and slap it on a wall then jump through it then reach out and pull the hole in with him effectively disappearing. White spy would stand there scratching his head wondering where black spy went. Black spy also threw the flexible hole down on the ground behind him when white spy was chasing him. White spy fell down in the hole and black spy picked up the hole and took off trapping white spy in the ether.
It’s a mad, Mad, MAD world out there!
LOL I didn’t expect that.
Ghostsniper, Spy v Spy was a favorite. I hadn’t thought about the portable hole in a while. Now a co-worker wonders what I’m chuckling about.
I’ve seen a couple of articles about sidewalk illusionists.
This is one with some explanation of why it “works.”

That is a good old picture.
How did the spelling get to be “doozie”?
I thought it was “Duesy,” short for Duesenberg, the best of the best.
