Another fish out of water moment for Blackthorne, having to do the morning after walk with the whore in front of the whole village.

Posted by theGarnetWay on 3/28/24 at 12:18 pm
The author clearly is sympathetic to illegal immigration, but no where in the excerpts you posted did the author say the bridge collapse was racist or targeted. If it did, please include that in your post.

Yeah, there wasn’t a whole lot of local support - just the opposite in fact - and none of the real, important details ever seemed to be ironed out. It came off as a rushed, generic concept of “Hey, why not over here?” Which, again, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ted expected this. When this was announce...

I was born after this movie was released so I had ever seen it on TV. For years I believed the “Eat my shorts” line was a tv edit for “Eat my shite,” until I watched it on a streaming service and realized it wasn’t.

I initially laughed at this number too thinking surely anyone that sees this will realize how ridiculous this all is. But then maybe it’s that ingenious tactic of asking for a number so high that Boston just settles and goes “Okay, okay, can’t do $15 billion, how about $...

The next one (Tai-Pan) deals with the opium trade in China and has nothing, other than remote geography, to do with Shogun. I would only read King Rat and maybe Tai-Pan in the James Clavell "Asian saga" in addit...

[quote]was common practice in England to let the bird rot for a few days to "tenderize" and "season" it. In the book there are many times where it is shown that although Blackthorne sees his culture as being more civilized and advanced, it is quite the opposite he truly is the "barbarian"[/quote]
