IF ...burst

Michael Clarke Duncan burst into national prominence with his portrayal of the disarming and tragic John Coffey in the 1999 film, The Green Mile. His stature (6'5") and healing prowess made him seem ready to burst at the seams and out of the screen ~right into our laps.

Sadly, Mr. Duncan passed away of a heart attack two weeks ago; he'll surely be missed.

IF ...identical

Essentially mirror images of themselves, Tweedledum and Tweedledee agreed not to disagree even when consenting to have a battle with each other. This identical frame of mind served their uniform dispositions equally...

Phthalo Moons ~blue

BLUE MOON

It would appear that today's full moon is a Blue moon, being the 2nd full moon in the month of August... But the original definition of a Blue moon is the 3rd full moon in any seasonal quarter, and since our next full moon is on Spet 30 (after the vernal equinox), this 2nd full moon of August is the last full moon of the Summer season... by this definition the next true Blue moon is on August 21, 2013. -and todays full moon has no name of its own.

that's enough to make any moon sing the blues...

IF ...tall

Edith Piaf stood 4 foot 8 inches.

What she lacked in height, she more than made up for in stature; France's most internationally renown chanteuse lived a life that paralleled her tragic ballads.

IF ...teacher

Easily the most fascinating character in the Harry Potter series, Professor Severus Snape taught Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts and along the way, character development and pacing. Alan Rickman's reading of Snape sits along with the classics.

IF ...freeze

He put the freeze on the heads of the other 4 families, he also put the freeze on Sollozzo, McCluskey, Johnny Ola, Hyman Roth, Carlo Rizzi, Sal Tessio and Moe Greene. He even put his own brother on ice. Al Pacino's portrayal of Michael Corleone was tightly wound, frigid and icy.

I know it was you Fredo.
