Kill Them Softly, Tarzan

Kill Them Softly, Tarzan

People break into two groups.  When people in group one hear the name Tarzan they think of the stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs, that strapping lad Johnny Weissmuller who played Tarzan in the movies, and that strange yodel. People in group number two think of Bo Derek‘s boobs.  In fact, for group two even a minor element of the stories - cannibalism, how to build a treehouse, English nobility - can evoke images of Bo and her firm ta-tas writhing … Continue reading »
