I am sure this opens the door to many authors on the blog creating a similar version!! Please try, it is great fun. I tried to complete a full logical sentence using the whole alfabet from A-Z, but perhaps it is up to a fellow writer on the blog to exceed the first one here.

Is there a possibility that anybody of our members could identify these pair of Errol's trousers? Western Costume Co. Hollywood does not provide a service of identification, which is a great pity, but I thought I'll give it a try with all of you – maybe somebody has a good idea? Thank you in advance for your help!

Here's a link to the best arts blog on the web and today it features a great little feature on Flynn's friend Sadakichi Hartmann. If this link doesn't work you can find it on the right hand column of my blog under its title THE BLUE LANTERN: thebluelantern.blogspot.com…

Today I would like to commemorate the birthday of Errol's most valued adversary. I speak of none other than “Captain Levasseur”, “Sir Guy of Gisbourne” and the seemingly heartless commander of the “Dawn Patrol”. Someone who always gave Errol a good workout. So let's all raise a cask of ale to a fellow Gemini of Errol's (born June 13, 1892), Sir Basil Rathbone! [TCM is also paying tribute today to Sir Basil.]
