The Paris Olympics began in earnest on Friday, 26 July with a grand opening ceremony at the river Seine in Paris. The ceremony included artists and singers from across the globe and the programme was hosted by Kelly Clarkson. One of the acts of the ceremony witnessed a rider on a pale horse parading along the river Seine which captured the eyes of many at the event and beyond. In a post on X, a user posted the picture of the rider on the pale horse which soon was associated with Death itself at the Olympics.

Pale horse of death

Coming very soon...

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

The foundations for bridges over the River Seine came from the blocks of the Bastille. ;)

From my understanding pale in this sense is a color description, kind of a cross between piss yellow and puke green. Anyone who has seen a boil erupt will know the color and its reek of death.

Your definition is better than the one in Strong's Concordance...

Pale horse of death

Clint Eastwood did a film, Pale Rider, in 1985 which was based on that part of Revelations to which you referred.

It was the highest grossing western of the 1980s. ;)

But that movie was filmed in 1976, not in the 80s. ;)

I worked at Mary Ann Bakery in Chicago in the 70s. A lot of the help there was Greeks. That is where I learned to swear in Greek.

They had high hopes for me because I could speak English. It was a slave shop, though.

I helped out at the ovens for a while. A black guy named Freddy was in charge there. Everyone would kid him about watermelons. He had a good work ethic and was not into drugs like so many other blacks.

When the CHA high rises were torn down, all the blacks were moved into Section 8 housing in the suburbs. My sister told me she knew a woman who was a cop out there. She told my sister, "Things are not the way they used to be."

Many blacks were into petty theft and drugs. Where the drug consumers are, the drug dealers follow. :-/

There was a band named DETH that performed at Medusa's in Chicago. It was on Sheffield about a mile south of Wrigley Field.

It was on 2nd floor and was a long flight of stairs down to the street. If you had to throw someone out, you couldn't get them out of there if they were out of control.

One show I grabbed this guy for trying to get onstage. He was pretty wild going out with his arms raised up.

I got him out the door at top of stairs. I tried to take his legs out. It didn't work. So I slipped him into a Half-Nelson with my left arm, grabbed his free arm and moved him over five or six feet and thumped his head on the corner of the wall by entrance to ladies' room.

That brought him down a few notches.

Al was sitting there taking tickets. He told me, "He was a big boy. You really manhandled him."

As soon as I cussed, the boss came running up the stairs. Just before he closed the door to the concert hall, I looked and my ex-partner was in there. He gave me the "thumbs up"

You know what that guy whose head I thumped on the wall said to our guy at the bottom of the stairs? "Where is the nearest liquor store?"

That would have been Brown Derby a block south.

Do you think maybe he needed it to kill the pain? ROTFLMAO!

Come dance with me on Pac's front hill. Lopez is supplying the music from across the street. I know you like that.

Remember that 30 year prison sentence I served for flipping off Walter Mondale?

Miss Judy, she was moody
Ran a sweaty farm in old Alabam'
I was just eighteen, crude and mean
And all I needed was to get my own way
Get out of my way
Miss Judy she could have me
Any hour of the working day
She'd send me in the corn field mid-afternoon
Said son it's all part of your job
Miss Judy had a cross-eyed poodle
That I would kick if I was given the chance
Never wasn't amused by the kindness I used
I was whipped in the barn until dawn
It hurt me
Last summer we was restless
Were gonna make a stand and burn down your farm
But it was all in the head
'Cause out in the yard
Miss Judy had the National Guard
We was beaten
Before we started
Miss Judy, she was moody
But she always didn't get her own way
We'll state the facts, get it right
Kick her when she's down

What the fuck is a 10 foot slope? They're usually short little fellas.

Loddy liked her overbite. I kinda do to, come to think of it.

Stupid Spics across the street were playing their Boompita crap at like 1:30AM last night. I casually walked into their front yard, they didn't even notice until I screamed at the the top of my lungs, "Hey, It's 1:30 in the morning, would you mind turning it down?"

And of course they acted like I was the bad guy...

Ask nicely and they just blow you off..act homicidal and they'll laugh at you for a minute but take their shit inside.
