. . . of knowing what to say or how to say it. Melvin Kaminsky had it right when he had Mongo (Alex Karas) repeat the line: "Mongo only pawn in game of life." Of course, he also commented that "I'm Tired" was the dirtiest song he ever wrote. As of today, he is still alive, but I'm sure he's coming to grips with the reality which we all must face. God (if you b'leve) bless you, Mel Brooks.
And so, yeah. I work with this guy, name of Aleksander Karas, goes by the name of "Sander". Works in a similar group as me. I'm good with it all. One day I mention that I see a similarity twixt his name and Alex Karas/Mongo's name. He lays it on me that that was his uncle. Fuck me. Gives the phrase, "Candygram for Mongo" a whole new meaning; especially when Sander is pitching flammable particulate matter into the campfire.
Just sayin'
