My good pal, Tanner sent me some pictures of Charlton Heston's basement. Check this fucker out... He could start World War III with this lot. Probably wanted to as he got older and fucking crazier. Still, like the Supreme Court just said, you have the right to defend yourself in case the Domino Pizza delivery guys goes postal 'cos you only tipped him 50 cents.
Yeah... That's a fucking flame thrower on the right wall!!!


I had to chuckle at The Onion's headline during the week of Mr Heston's death which read,"
Gun Taken from Charlton Heston's Cold Dead Fingers"
I bet they've been waiting to write that for ages...

C'mon, George, funny picture but stick to your knitting (you too, Bruce -- a shout out from our old Cravit days). The Cartoonist is right; this is an old web hoax and the photos are actually from the late Bruce Stern's mansion, who indeed had what seems to be more of an obsession than a collection. But while I never met Heston, my actor son did, and interviewed him at length on behalf of Northwestern theatre students; he was very gracious to my son and not at all loony.

Ralf...
You could be right... But I bet you don't have a fucking airplane in your front yard, like I do!

Guns don't kill. Criminals do....with guns.
Take them away from the NYC police while you're at it. How many innocent people have they killed over the years?

Hmmm ... a helicopter would be nice.

All that firepower and yet tremendously shitty hotel/office furniture.

whether it's Heston's basement or not doesn't matter. I couldn't have a room like that because I'd constantly need medical for chronic priapism.

“The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.”

Is that a Japanese thigh mortar above the flame thrower?

What are those couches for? I don't think I would be comfortable sitting in them knowing what is behind me.
Posted by: Stephen Tompkins | July 01, 2008 at 03:24 PM
Tony -- The mere fact that you know what a Japanese thigh mortar is scares the shit out of all of us.

I see that I'm quite late with my comment. My nephew loves the purple, 80s vintage office chairs. Where can I buy them or something similar? Even if this isn't really Heston's basement, I'm wondering if his family had a garage sale when he passed on.
