"My Captain My Captain....." RobinWilliams playing out the mesmerizing school teacher. His preppy "Dead poet’s society" taken out of their self indulgent superiority....their caste system, an insular fortress as Buckingham Palace.
"We’re all being tested, preppies."
"You’re toast," says the student, looking down at his ancestor’s Coney Island upbringings, turning back the clock, recapitulating the built in snobbishness, those students use to cover up their flaws.,their teacher casting aside his lesson plans ,aiming to get the kids out of their predestined natures, perpetuating their monied prep school proclivities of superiority and dogma..

A medicine man he was not. No way..... Burt Lancaster’s "Elmer Gantry" (inked by Sinclair Lewis). Didn’t he know why he was put on the "Dawn Patrol"?
Why tap into your Faustian soul to get these kids out of themselves. To think for themselves.
Play it cozy, Dude.
No skinny dipping in this reality scene. Hanging by yer thumbs. pal.
To get along, you play along.

Meanwhile at South Beach (Miami Heat) Pat Riley may hay been second guessing himself as Big Three basketball players: high school grad Lebron James? Marquete’s DwayneWade, and their Toronto gifted Chris Bosh were on the road to Bean Town.
Playing against the aging big three of the Celtics: the fountain of youth Keven Garnet, "the truth" Paul Pierce, U/Conn’s RayAllen and their point guard "Hondo" "no no Rondo" (Hondo John Havlichek reliving the Red Auerbach orchestrations)
"Ya gotta believe."

Bosh out with an abdominal paint, returned to the playoff wars in game five,seeing 14 minutes of action, the Celtics winning on the road. The Heat’s rotation and styming the "Truth" and 6'1`1" K.G (Kevin Garnet),a high school grad).. Rondo penetrating the paint, the Heat rotating ,doubling up, leaving K.G. in the painted area, at the rim, for his ageless dunks tip ins or rebounds.
Bosh during that crunch time still in the rust of the return, tte Heat losing by a blink of the "Truth’s" Inglewood,Ca killer eyes.., he hitting from downtown, James defending him,the shot clock ticking down.

"Mr. Chips goes to town" (Robert Donat) playing along with "the Dead Poet’s Society" the story line became surreal with Maggie Smith’s toure de force of "her own preppies on the distaff side.
"The prime of Miss Jean Brodie"
Surreal in this instance as her finishing school marm (Tulane University’s college for women),her pet student, giving her the Mata Hari (Margaretha Gertruide Zelle)ita shafterooney..
The teacher’s pet of a smiling snitching assassin, telling the head masters that Miss Brodie was "as incompetent as teats on a boar’s ass."

Meanwhile "crash the boards" was playing at Madison Square garden the injury plagued Willis reed, Captain of the Knicks, came thru the tunnel unto the floor, the fans not as vociferous as those in the small market of "OKC" ,holding their ear plugs, after they checked the big 3 of the San Anotnio Spurs,(Duncan, Parker, Genoble) the Alamo revisited by the up tempo hungrier younger legged Thunder.......
The emotion got to the faithful and Reed led the Knicks to a victory.
However in the dot com cosmos of the 21st century hoop wars, Chris Bosh wasm’t able to turn the clock back in those 14 minutos at South Beach,
Isn’t it all relative

Challenging the status quo and the sound bytes of playing it sale is no longer sine qua non.
Isn’t it all a gamble from the cradle to the grave, incombent on risk taking riding rough shod over mediocrity.
"In yer face", Prince Albert slipping his hush puppies under his wife’s bed in futuro. Queen Victoria’s diaries.

It begs the question whether or not finding one’s Holy Grail, is but a feather in the cap of basketball’s ultimate crowning.
"Heaven is on the way to it , June 7,2012?," cried the Duke, riding shotgun. John Ford’s "Stagecoach"

III
Meanwhile little did Jack and Jill know that the spectra of their doom was playing out around thethe bend..... on the road to Damascus.
A massacre not unlike Geronimo’s slaughter of "Custer’s last stand" ,( the Plainsman) with Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur. Their wagons circled by Geronimo’s "an eye for an eye" "a tooth for a tooth" reached epic proportions... a vengeful merciless aggression..
An expression of sadistic and masochistic murder

Was Fellini far off the mark in La Dolche Vide. Novella Rome’s bullying, hiding beyond the catacombs.
Isn’t that way kids flee their homes, running off to the circus. A foretaste of the

The Arab cosmos is in disarray, to say the least ...Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and now the Syria . The latter can no longer hold back "inevitability"

72 years since the Fuhrer was able to obliterate six million Jews,poisoning the birthrights of his storm troopers and their sycophant "yes men". Bullying dressed up becomes fashionable,doesn’t it?

"My life is with the Spurs," said Tim Duncan ("MacBeth") as Pops led his San Antonio Spurs to another riveting clinic of team basketball.... the astrophysics of the Space age playing out on a gym floor.
May the Diplomats in their "final solution"challenge "might makes right" Lend their aggresswsive energy in behalf of the weak and oppressed..
The lottery of "my life is with the Spurs."

Thirty aeons at Burbank’s Shangri-la, the Nebraskan native played out..good humor man bartender and wet nurse. A repartee of burlesque and barber hunor as he "lost himself to find himself"...."Fearless Fosdick strikes again."
Wasn’t the bonding and chemistry with Grodin’s psyche providential? The mustachio of a tramp wearing a derby, baggy pants, lumpy shoes, dangling a cane..(theVenice,Ca. roller skating rink) the other Charlie found his persona forever.
So much so that the man of a thousand faces offered a deal to Grodin so Carson could see a mirror of himself in Grodin’s own carousel of "up tight menches" and strung out nay sayers.
A bubbling champagne of kindred souls playing out their needs to tear off the masks of pretension that suffocate the minor planet we call Earth.. Thirty years since since Spielberg’s "ET"docked his space ship., the savior faire among us, suspending disbelief.

To be in that mix! The NBC ushers should charge admission. The Laurel&Hardy barbs not lost on Charles and Johnny in their hip improvisations.
