What a bizarre story. [link] I don't remember hearing about that at the time.
Tim has me trying to remember the motives behind the assassinations/attempts. I'm thinking probably 1/2 are loonies with little or no political reason.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What is even happening?
You're all crazy, and I am earwormed with the theme song from The Banana Splitz.
There is probably some mystical sect that believes in a drunken Creator. It would explain a lot.
Well, not a creator, but there are the Dionysus/Bacchus/Liber adherents.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.
Creepy link, Aurelia. I don't remember that story getting much attention at the time either, though I suspect that the tin foil hat crowd probably have files on it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'd like to point out that Betsy missed a prime opportunity to quote "Assassins."

My favorite Banana Splits had one of the girls (they were some kind of gang, weren't they?)
Yep, The Sour Grape Bunch. We had a piece on them in the book.
Paul Winchell and the artificial heart is as oddly pleasing as Hedy Lamarr and the radiotelemetry/sonar doohickey.
The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is the cardiocyber parts
The tops are made of the rubber
the bottom is spring loaded hearts

If I only had a brain...
Yeah, I was off watching *The Amazing Race* during prime assassin-discussing time. Sob!

I'm just not sure how much bouncing you'd want to do with an artificial heart.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't you get an artificial heart to enable bouncing?

I thought you got one to enable (continued) breathing.
