David Bowie. The Loon effect.

When I hear the word Art, I reach for my Luger...

It's a pity more people don't know that quote, and its context, because it's one I'm tempted to use in adapted form, from time to time. But it would pass right over most peoples' heads.

Like the Picasso bit earlier?

Speaking of which, I trust you have checked out Wikiquote on it:

When I hear the word culture, I reach for my Browning!

Variant: "When I hear the word culture, I reach for my revolver." Often attributed to Göring, who might have used such lines, these statements are derived from those in the play Schlageter by Hanns Johst: "Wenn ich Kultur höre … entsichere ich meinen Browning!" [Whenever I hear of culture... I release the safety-catch of my Browning!] (Act 1, Scene 1) The play was first performed in April 1933 for Hitler's birthday. Reported as a misattribution in Paul F. Boller, Jr., and John George, They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, & Misleading Attributions (1989), p. 36.

So Jim got it wrong?

I see Ralph Feinnes is set to play Michael Jackson in a new movie (or perhaps it was a series), and people are complaining that a white guy is a black guy. When you put their photos next to each other, Ralph is considerably darker than Jacko.

at last a role that inconsistent good for nothing might be suited for...

I got the name wrong. It's Joseph Feinnes. I think Ralphe was their Dad?

It's bound to happen once in a million posts, I suppose...
