He never looked great. Was he laughing? Billy laughed all the time.

Sorry, Steve McQueen died in 1980. I was thinking the same thing.

Well, Billy has had a lot of botox treatments; therefore, he can’t laugh that much anymore. It is his dermatologist who is laughing for him all the time.
To: Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)
Stiff upper lip? Well, he can still curdle the blood with just one squint-eyed glance, can't he?

Did they ever get that business about Billy the Kid straightened out? No, but the Governor of the New Mexico Terroritories during the Lincoln County Wars who dealt with Billy The Kid, Civil War hero General Lew Wallace, did write a tidy little best seller during his time in Santa Fe. A minor little tome called Ben Hur.
Actually, it was the single best selling book in America during the 19th century.

Fortune came with the publication of "Papillon", after which he bankrolled a flop film -- The Queen of Diamonds with Claudia Cardinale -- moved to Spain, wrote the follow-up "Banco", and died of throat cancer in 1973.I ask you: how could a movie starring Claudia Cardinale POSSIBLY flop??? No, Charrier's story does not add up...

Well, Billy had just had cataract surgery and eye lid lifts and was looking like a cross between Nancy Pelosi and the Witch, so I couldn’t tell.

Devil's Island...
Don't suppose it could be leased and close Gitmo?? Certainly would be a wonderful location.

Well, whatever ~ what I'd like to know and maybe this guy can tell us is where they got the idea for the "butt plug"?
That was really farsighted ~ eventually we are going to carry all our electronic gear in there, of course, but how could these guys figure all that out so long ago.

Oh yes, he also had that look of that runaway bride-to-be. Yes, it was really scary now that I'm thinking about it.

Bump for later reference.

No. I think we should clear out the Hawaiian island of Oahu. There they can drink Mai Tais all day and night and surf 24/7.
To: Bubba
They can also relax at "Robin's Nest" in Oahu.
To: Bubba
The islands, where both dangerous and political prisoners were held, now houses luxury hotel accomodations. The coast now is largely the Arianne launch complex around Kourou.

Yep - McQueen died in 1980. Henri Charriere died in 1973 of throat cancer.
