8.1.9.6
A return visit from Guinevere Areola Fandango. She has daddy issues since she’s been mostly raised by her two sisters Alice and Agnes.
A girl with daddy issues has found a boyfriend that seems to have those same daddy issues. Mid 50’s Hugh Jackman seems to be their latest absent father fantasy.
Good luck to them on their mutual search.
As a side note, Hugh Jackman had an interesting age gap marriage.
Guinevere Areola Fandango and Don Racinator Swanson never married. Don was drafted (post Korea, pre Vietnam) and as a college educated athletic type was almost immediately sent to Officer Candidate School (OCS).
Sadly, Major Swanson’s army career ended after he was blinded in a live fire training accident. His story was fictionalized (distorted beyond recognition) and made into the screenplay for the movie ‘Scent of a Woman’.
The screenplay was written by his second (of 5) wife Lola Gina Brigette, the woman he’d dumped when he and Guinevere hooked up. The character of Donna in ‘Scent’ as played by the actress Gabrielle Anwar was loosely based on Guinevere. After some legal action, Guinevere did get a line in the move credits as a consultant.
Side Note: The source for this was Lola Brigette herself, an adjunct professor at the UCLA School of Theater Film and Television. Her most puissant advice was “Just make that shit up!” Something I’ve taken to heart ever since.
Ah, the stories Lola could tell. Some research showed that none of them were really true but not exactly made out of whole cloth either. A very interesting class full of practical writing advice if you could sort it out through the haze of too much coffee, too much booze, and too much experience with experimental drugs.
Once again my wife has reviewed my writing. Rather than urge me to give up early morning drinking she merely sighed in resignation.
I tell her I just drink in order to wrap my head around Richard Brautigan’s poetry.

I don’t know where to pose this question. Here seems best:
What has become of last-kiss.de? It no longer responds.
Yikes. You’re right. It looks like it’s gone. Drat!
Frankly, it’s been years since I’ve been in contact with Gerd, the fellow who ran the site and did all those translations. I wrote to him a couple of times via his private e-mail and never heard back. I should’ve tried harder.
Gerd is German and a professional translator for Disney’s German comic’s licensee. But he was just translating Last Kiss for fun. Despite my last name–which is my real name, not a pen name–I don’t know more than a few words of German myself. But I always thought the site was pretty cool. I’m sorry to see it go.
If the site’s still down by the end of the week, I’ll take my link to it down. Thanks for asking and letting me know, Govi!
Thank you! I’m sad that it’s gone. It was fun… sometimes the jokes were different, but in the neighborhood. It helped me keep pushing my German skills and educated me on things German that don’t get taught anywhere I know. It was a nice run!
“Are you pondering what I’m pondering?”
“I think so Brain. But is my permanent record long playing or mp3?”
Zort!!
Which, as everyone knows, is “Troz!”, but backwards!
Huge Ackman? Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time…
