Friday 19th September
It warms the cockles of the heart to learn that "illusionist" David Blaine
is now considered on the Continent to be the proverbial horsefly in the
Port-o-Potty, the way we feel about the Rev. Al Sharpton, except without
the love. He has also begun to draw the murderous ire of Londoners since
my last diary entry on the subject, as they have tried to sever his water
pipe and shake him silly, abusing him roundly, and one does fear for the
environmental damage that would likely be done to the already limping
Thames should the natives bring things to the next logical step and take
over the controls of the crane that hold Blaine's Plexiglas box in the air
and cut him loose altogether. The amount of foecal waste, uric acid and
methane gas by-products currently kept in his box boggle the mind and it
wouldn't be a stretch to conclude that the endangered Thames catfish would
probably snuff it and go white-belly-up with a shocking finality within
twenty minutes of the splash. Probably the only safe way to lethally end
this carpetbagger's stay would be to fire a rocket-propelled grenade at
the suspended box. The resulting flame would scorch the bacteria and acids
and gases before it hit the water and everyone -- the environmentalists,
the affronted Brits -- would find it a win/win. I think that settles that.
