However today we will not be destroying religious artefacts and statuary (the literal definition of "Iconoclastic"). No, tonight we will be overturning a few stereotypes. With maybe a cute animal photo or two thrown in.

This sounds like a cheap Hammer film from the early 70's, a collection of bikers-'n'-boobs with gratuitous violence, smoking of eeevil dementia-inducing spliffs and a crap heavy metal band on the soundtrack purely because they were i) Cheap and ii) Mates of the sound engineer.

Les Dawson
Don't you dare say "Who?"! Google him if you do not recognise the name. Les was a stand-up comedian in his own right in addition to being host on "Blankety Blank" and other television programmes, and a funny chap he was, too. He had several stock characters - Ada Shufflebotham, the Crap Pianist - and his delivery was always lugubrious and dead-pan. Plus he could pull a wicked gurn -

Wrong!
Not only did he secretly write poetry on the sly, he published a serious novel in 1986 titled "A Time Before Genesis", and had written a romantic thriller under a female nom de plume - see Auntie Beeb for more detail here:

Ah, Les mate, I feel for you. They say inside every clown is a Hamlet waiting to come out, but it's a whole lot less common for the clown to have a Shakespeare waiting to come out.
Late Breaking News - Co-Incidence Strikes BOOJUM! Again.
Remember just yesterday? How it seems so far - no, sorry, that's a Beatles lyric that snuck in there somehow. I was banging on about "Flash Gordon" the film, and specifically mentioned "War Rocket Ajax" and how it couldn't really be considered a rocket? What do I see on my Twitter account?
"Listening to interview with our friends @DaveMarquez @Digitara @Archaia talking about their ground breaking 3D book http://warrocketajax."

Don't you dare say "Who?"! Google him if you do not recognise the name. Clint made his bones as a TV actor on the show "Rawhide", going on to star in a trilogy of Spaghetti westerns - "A Fistful Of Dollars", "For A Few Dollars More" and the epic and seminal "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly", before doing the Dirty Harry fillums, Two Mules For sister Sarah, The Gauntlet, The Unforgiven, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Kelly's Heroes, Missionary Ridge, in addition to directing and producing duties.
A one man killing-machine, eh?
Wrong!
Here's Clint saving someone's life

The newly-acquired only-just domesticated wolf, Edna, has two speeds - Flat Out and Dead Stop. This makes it tricky to take photos of her, as witness these:

| Dead Stop |
 |
| Accelerating from Dead Stop |
 |
| Flat Out. That, or Edna is a descendant of those huskies in "The Thing" |
Instead we have the Marmon-Herrington Armoured Car. Behold!
