On Alfred Spezzo

On Alfred Spezzo

"Did you see that film last night?"

No. No I did not see that film last night, for I was hard at work, posting crap onto Twitter.

"Which one?" I ask of my fragrant wife.

"You know – ITV, late night. Had him in it."

Oh, HIM.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You know – nice bloke. He was in that film."

Lost me, completely.

"Which film? You're talking gibberish now."

"That scary one. Silence of the Lambs."

"Aaaaah – got you. Anto…"

"Alfred something. Alfred Spezzo."

"You are – my dear – completely wrong. I can tell you with a high degree of confidence that it is NOT Alfred Spezzo."

"Oh, right – you're SO sure with your high-fallutin' accent telling me Alfred Spezzo wasn't in Silence of the Lambs, The Mask of Zorro and that other film with Aflred Spezzo in."

"Yes. Yes I am. Also: Your mum."

"Oh yeah? Spacker."

"It's SIR Alfred Spezzo, as ane fule kno."

She looks triumphant. I like a triumphant look on a woman.

"There you are, then. It also had Anthony Hopkins in it."

"AAAAARGH!"

So, in a fit of pique I fired up my laptop and - "Ah ha! Just as I thought!" - there is NO Sir Alfred Spezzo in the IMDB database.

I stormed out to the safety of my shed and my priceless collection of wall fixings, pausing only to bowk rich brown vomit into a hedge. That'll learn her.

where did you learn to bowk?

OK! Dust = no fat.

Being Alfred Spezzo may create a new career arc for Sir Anthony. But first you'll have to teach him about being sick inna hedge.

Misty: have you turned into Mr T? Do you pity the foo'?

I got lost in the hesaid/shesaid, right before the "SIR".

I figured out who was sick-inna-hedge, tho.

Is it time to go home yet?

I have a co-worker that I only ever called by her first name. I just found out her last name is "Bowker". I find it hard to keep a straight face around her now...

Dear Sirs

I was too in Silence of the Lambs and I was an extra.

So there.

Ner.

Yours faithfully,
A.Spezzo

Oh, and Mr Si: I am not turning into Mr T, but despite that, please don't try to get me into an areoplane, akay?
