A sad day

17 years ago today, the world lost one of the greats, a man named Alan Napier. Who is this Alan Napier the you may ask? You know him by another name: Alfred the butler, from the Batman TV series of the 60s. He tirelessly carried the show from its inception in 1965 to its cancellation in 1968. Sure, the credit usually goes to the insipid avian Burt Ward or that slow.....talking.....ham Adam West, but who was that stayed home to watch the mansion? Who gave the show its legitimate adult face? (Here's a clue, it wasn't the guy who put on tights and danced the Batusi). But alas, like many heroes of our time, he went unsung into the great halls above. Well, some still remember you Mr. Napier, I raise my cup for you.

Also, I'm officially part of ZBL. All you who would dare ruin our fun, you should quail in fear. Quail I say!

Addendum: I have now started my campaign to have Army of Darkness included in the curriculum at my school. Who wants some?

God bless you Mr.Napier, your butlerly ways will be spoken of for generations to come.
