Anne Rice and her silly tomes

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on June 29 2022 10:30 zulu

No... once again: I abhor Anne Rice's puerile vampire-penny-dreadfuls (the former Anne Rice, I recently discovered). The name 'Lestat de Lioncourt' was not her creation; rather, Anne Rice's French-illiterate larceny. She has no claim to the family name or the origin.

Writing openly, in adolescence I read her first book at the request of a classmate; yet the second release in her 'Vampire Chronicles'... unreadable. I did not finish. A novelized emetic. From a plot summary of the third release, continued mindless insensibility - which describes the author, as well... I could not tolerate the absence of creativity, or her risible (re)vision of the 'vampire'. My opinion, reader, used toilet paper offers a more compelling story.

 

I am a descendent of Guy de Lioncourt, French composer (1885-1961); and if our genetic resemblance is not obvious, well, perhaps consult your nearest ophthalmologist:

My informal explanation for communism's inexorable failure

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on August 19 2021 04:11 zulu

While sorting through archival files, rediscovered my informal explanation for communism's unalterable, inexorable failure. Cannot recall if I had posted this previously.

For whom I created this, I no longer recall; so, I will publish this for others' armament against the Socialist Simpletons & Communist Cuckolds.

... listening to David Sylvian's song "Ride" on repeat...

For Family Part 3 Updated Photograph Requested

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on May 23 2021 05:47 zulu

To all who know my age: tiguidou! et ouais, bien sûr, moi, j'continuais à vieillir comme tous les mecs - mais... comment l'écrire... juste un peu plus - plutôt plus que moins - lentement (sourire diabolique).

 

For Family Part 3: Updated Photograph Requested; so, Noelle provided this one - her criterion was, '... your eyes matched your shirt!' (um, exciting... yeah... just right-click, then 'save as'). As soon as I find a photograph Noelle does not seem to 'hate', I will upload one of her - she looks no different from those in Part II.

Again, only a twisted mind would have requested a 'close-up'; nonetheless, once saved to your PC, please do not zoom into this photograph to see my greying locks and flaws (...& they be many, both that is to write). Certainly, zoom-in and study the image; no filter enhancement or flaw-concealing technique was used . All my pores and epidermal hairlines are there.

 

As well, 4 out of 5 physicians agree that this photo may be used as a visual emetic - LNDL.

My Cursorily Written Thoughts on A.I.

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on September 06 2018 01:45 zulu

 

For over a decade, I have opposed the propaganda about A.I. My conclusions are evident in my Facebook respose, however cursorily written, from January 31st of this year (or a date close to that):
