If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I agree that the litter bearer--without the Fu Manchu mustache--resembles a Japanese townsfolk.

I'm starting to get the shakes.  After an unruly mob on Playmoboard clamored for ninjas--hundreds, thousands--and I vociferously defended the honor of medieval Japan, I now find myself sandwiched by a war on two fronts.

No Fu Manchu beards!  And no ninjas!
(Samurai appear to have favored clean shaves or long beards in old age.  To my knowledge, prior to 1920s American detective noire, no Asian, living or dead, suffered a Fu Manch mustache!!!!

[If humorous intent isn't self-evident in this email, let it be so made clear.  But seriously, if PM makes a another Japanese ninja with fu manchu beard, I'd like to remind PM that a popular American stereotype of Germans is a bunch of guys running around in Prussian grays, with monicles, clicking their heels, and being outsmarted by Hogan's heroes).

Hello, Timmy ...

American stereotype of ...

Because we are American, it is probably easier for us remember the various stereotypes that Americans have used to categorize the people of the world. However, it is very doubtful that we Americans have an exclusive on stereotyping, I'm sure that the people of every nation on earth look at everyone else through their own stereotypical eyes.

It really doesn't matter why we all do it. We just do. That doesn't mean that we should do it. We just do. It also doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to stop doing it. We just don't. Maybe, some day, we will.

Maybe some day we will all become more patient, more tolerant and more understanding. We may act different. We may even look different. However, we all have our hopes, our fears and our dreams. In this commonality we are one. And, it is in the knowledge of our oneness that we can share the prospect that we might one day appreciate the strength and beauty of our diversity.

It is an honorable and righteous battle that you wage, Timmy!

Stay the fight ... it's worth it!

All the best,
Richard

Only you, my eagle-eyed friend (with the memory of an elephant), would have noticed.
Yes, Ralf admitted that he had "bent his rules" and told us, "Yes, everything is original with a bit of gold paint on only two parts."

Thanks and all the best,
Richard
