...what we have here in fact is one of the ugliest sadomasochistic trips, with heavy homosexual overtones, that our thoroughly nasty movie age has yet produced. Indeed, if the film has any redeeming social value at all, it is to prove that you don't have to be a hairy-chested director of the Sam Peckinpah school to get your kicks on blood and gore. It may also indicate that there are some virtues in the straightforward approach of someone like Peckinpah to violent material. In Midnight Express one imagines the director peering through the viewfinder and murmuring, "Goyaesque...
...sturgeon, one of the biggest, ugliest and most primitive of all fish, would be only an evolutionary oddity were it not for the million little black globules nestled in the average female's ovaries. If Mama is called Acipenser huso and comes from the Black Sea or the Caspian, her eggs may wind up in the U.S. as Iranian or Russian beluga caviar worth $200 a pound.

In Lebanon, where Syrian peace-keeping troops have forbidden protest demonstrations, the ban was lifted during Sadat's trip...
...undertaker. The shmoos rolled over dead and oven ready for hungry hoomins. Hulking Hairless Joe and his faithful Indian sidekick, Lonesome Polecat, dispensed hair-curling batches of Kickapoo Joy Juice. Dogpatchers went calling on the snowbound citizens of Lower Slobbovia, home of Lena the Hyena, world's ugliest woman. Moonbeam McSwine wallowed happily in the mud and tried unsuccessfully to ensnare Abner with her buxom charms. As Capp once said of his curvaceous creations: "Anyone who likes small bosoms -let 'em read Orphan Annie...
