Notes -
Still plowing through Errol Flynn's autobiography. It's good, even gripping, I juat don't have a lot of time lately.
Since I last wrote of it he has :
frolicked with a farmers"s daughter and gotten chased off the land. That was probably good though because it was a sheep farmer and Flynn's job involved "dagging the hogget." Actually he didn't dag the hogget (I'll let you look that up), he was the next guy, meaning he took the sheep and bit off its testicles. Yes you read that correctly. Makes me sentimental for the pre -title reel of that Indian video linked by Kulak. Anyway look up dagging the hogget. It's a crazy world, folks. Nuts, really, and then you must apparently bite them off.
continued running with the stolen jewels he stole, only to be himself relieved of them while in an unsuspecting drunken stupor.
been involved in cockfights where he and his coeval poisoned the bird's beak so it would autowin. Got caught. Had to haul ass. Yes there is a pattern here.
made it with a Japanese wife of a Swedish man on a boat while at sea, who eventually catches them. Running occurs At least one shot is fired, though where .the bullet ended up is anybody's guess.
been eviscerated, almost, by an angry untipped rickshaw driver. I think this was India.
been to many a whorehouse. Brothel, if you prefer. He speaks highly of brothels and the women who work in them.
I am now up to the chapter where I think he is about to start acting.
Will post again next week.
