The Whining Stranger's Song of the Day: 18 August 2006



"Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo" [i.e. "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"] by Ennio Morricone (1966)

I stare down the work on my desk like the Man with No Name. Were it not for the building's anti-smoking policy, I would stick stubby cigarillo in my mouth and emit meaningful plumes of nasty burnt tobacco smoke. I rub my hand over my unshaven cheek. I glare with squinty eyes. I remove sidearm from beneath poncho. And I emerge from this showdown untouched, leaving a fallen villain in the blood-soaked dust.
