Are Black Panthers and Tamil Tigers actually gorillas then?

Talking about Cubans: asked about the sexual symbolism of his smoking habit, Freud is reputed to have thought for a while before replying, 'Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.' Sanest words he ever said.

I was merely quoting The Goons, so I am afraid I can't help you there! However, I will agree with Freud!

Did I make it up or did the CIA really have plans to send Castro a box of exploding cigars?

The strangest part of that story is that someone credits the CIA with being able to organise such a thing that comes under the loose definition of a 'plan'.


Most of their activities would not be countenanced by an intellectually decrepit camel on hallucinogens.

As in Trivial Pursuit, the answer is always Winston Churchill.

It was an unsuccessful plan, a series of unsuccessful plans, so am quite willing to believe in involvement of CIA.

Wonders if intellectually decrepit camels on hallucinogens still make plans? Discovers answer is "Winston Churchill" and is none the wiser.

As much as I don't like dictators I applaud young Fidel and his crew for maintaining an existence independent of the US.

Cub astnds as an example of a nonUS cultural dominated place. I wish we had as much domestic cultural independence in OZ.
