Yul Brynner is not only dead but he starred in a t.v.commercial to adertise the fact. A long way from the heady days of being a wild west samurai who came to the rescue of a depressed peasant village that was being taunted by an evil warlord with only Steve mcQueen and five other pistol-flashing rogues for assistance (scenes only beaten in their compelling nature by those featured in the 'Three Amigos'), Yul dyed a cancer ridden alcoholic who had spent several years drinking, smoking and being shagged to death. This we know because he subsequently starred posthumously in an government warning campaign scripted something like this: "Hello, My name is Yul Brynner and I am dead. I am dead because I smoked cigarettes. I am dead because I drank and smoked and was shagged senseless day in day out by playboy bunnies. Don't do it or you might die too." The above is said with an ironic smile of absolute arrogance and extacy which says, 'Like you wouldn't do it too if you got half the chance!!!' +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
