Pic of the Day: “Now you’re the first Black man in the history of the ring who’s ever had a crack at the heavyweight title. Now white folks, of course, are behind Brady. He’s the redeemer of the race and so on. But you, Jack Jefferson, are you the Black hope?” “Well, I’m Black and I’m hopin’.” “Answer him straight, Jack.” “Hey, look, man, I ain’t fighting for no race, I ain’t redeeming nobody. My mama told me Mr. Lincoln done that. Ain’t that why you shot him?” (55th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: ♫ “Flash! A-ah! / Saviour of the Universe / Flash! A-ah! / He’ll save every one of us / Flash! A-ah! / He’s a miracle / Flash! A-ah! / King of the impossible / He’s for every one of us / Stand for every one of us / He saves with a mighty hand / Every man, every woman / Every child, it’s the mighty flash.” ♫ (45th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Josse, there’s an election with three candidates, so who do you vote for? No. 1: He is partially paralyzed from polio. He has hypertension. He’s anemic and suffers from an array of serious illnesses. He lies if it suits his purpose and consults astrologists on his politics. He cheats on his wife, chain-smokes, and drinks too many martinis. No. 2: He’s overweight, and he’s already lost three elections. He suffers from depression and has had two heart attacks. He’s impossible to work with and smokes cigars non-stop. And every night when he goes to bed, he drinks incredible amounts of champagne, cognac, port, whiskey, and adds two sleeping pills before dozing off. The last one, No. 3: He’s a highly decorated war hero. He treats women with respect. He loves animals, never smokes, and only has a beer on rare occasions. Josse, who do you vote for?” “The last one.” “The last one, No. 3? And the rest of you?” “Yes, No. 3.” “Oh boy! You just discarded Franklin D. Roosevelt… Winston L. Churchill… and thankfully you elected this guy.” “Hitler?” “Focus! It’s funny, but there’s a point to this, which is important and which I hope you’ll understand someday: the world is never as you expect.” (5th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Will there be no room for Hobbits in this new age of Man?” “I think so. For of us all, Hobbits are the closest to Man, the most human. And one day they will be as Men are. Look you; Frodo is a bit larger than Bilbo, just as you are larger than Frodo. And younger still have you, and larger are Merry and Pippin. And, if you keep the book of the Hobbits as Frodo asked, ages from now when your stories are still told, there will be those humans who might well wonder, ‘Is there Hobbit in me?'” 45th Anniversary)
