Charlton Heston inducted into The Wuxi China Expat Hall of Fame
Landis cited two great accomplishments of Heston during the induction announcement: Heston's longtime and strong advocacy for gun rights for Wuxi China Expatdom residents, and Heston's role in the Exodus from the Ayatollah of Mordor where the waters of Taihu were parted.
Said Landis about Charlton Heston‘s time as WCERA president:
"One of the first things the Ayatollah of Mordor did during his tyrannical period as the King of Wuxi was to seize all the guns from the free Wuxi China Expatdomites. The WCERA was forced to go underground -- building secret shooting ranges; concealing firearms in their undershorts, and printing gun rights pamphlets that never failed to inflame the Mordorian regime. I would say that next to Gorzo the Mighty, it was my friend Chuck Heston who sounded loudest, the clarions of freedom during the dark times of the reign of the former King of Wuxi. Chuck was imprisoned several times and forced to watch grade "b" science fiction and horror films with the Ayatollah of Mordor because of his firm and never-wavering support for Wuxi Expat gun rights!
Heston, as we all know, as an infant was found floating in a basket floating down the Grand Canal by a Wuxi China Expatdom princess who decided to adopt him against the firm desires of the Ayatollah of Mordor who wanted all the original Wuxi China Expadomites to be expelled from the Expatdom and replaced by Mordorian Orcs and Grade "B" Science Fiction Fans. Heston found himself forced to live with people, who had they known who he was, would have wanted him gone and unfree. As it was, he was a slave, forced by the Ayatollah to think like a brain-dead Liberal Democrat.
But, Heston could not live the lie that his life had become. One day, as he was watching Starship Troopers on DVD, the player burned and he saw the image of Gorzo the Mighty speaking to him. Heston learned that the Ayatollah of Mordor was not his father. Heston also learned of his destiny to lead the Wuxi China Expatdomites away from the Expatdom towards Ma Shan to live in exile till the Ayatollah of Mordor was deposed.
After many bouts of prison and forced grade "b" science fiction watchings, Heston gathered the Expadomites to the shores of Taihu. They were going to catch the #88 bus to get to Ma Shan, but the Ayatollah of Mordor somehow found out about their plans. The Ayatollah sent his meanest ruffians, dressed as Klingons and Chocolate Caramel Balls, to subdue the fleeing Wuxi China Expatdomites. With the #88 bus nowhere to be seen, the fleeing Expatdomites had no choice but to ask Charlton Heston to reprise his role as Moses in the Ten Commandments, and part the waters of Taihu. Praying to Gorzo, Heston was able to do just that. And as a bonus, a special sidewalk was built so the Expadomites didn't get their shoes muddy. They got to Ma Shan in no time and, of course, the forces of the Ayatollah were drowned as they got halfway across the lake. Thus, was the great story of the parting of Taihu added to the annals of Expatdom history.
And of course, the promised land of the Wuxi China Expatdom was returned to its freedom loving Expatdomites! All Wuxi Expats owe a enormous debt of gratitude to Charlton Heston!"

Roller Derby is coming to the Wuxi China Expatdom!
Duston Short Refuses Lucky Strikes; Undergoing Brain Treatment
When offered a (reduced-price) Lucky Strike by owner Fred Minkleman, the Ontarion Expat Short, declined. He said that he'd been a Marlboro-man since the age of six months, and that he'd neither fight nor switch -ever.
Bar patrons reacted by expressing their amazement, shock, dismay, incredulity,
disbelief, bewilderment, confusion, and flabbergastedness.
Fearful for Duston Short's health, sanity, and wellbeing, Fred Minkleman
instantly arranged for Short to be transported to the Expatdom's Skull And Brain Examination Clinic.
There, the specialist medical staff wasted no time in assessing Duston Short, and
investigating his astonishing failure to accept a Lucky Strike.
Senior clinician Dr Martin Boorman urgently ordered that Duston's head be X-rayed. Using 5 million radioactive rontgens, the X-rays failed to reveal any trace of gray matter.
Proceeding to a CAT-scan, Dr Boorman, gripping the struggling tomcat tightly,
rubbed the reluctant mouse-catcher all over Duston Short's cranium, but again nothing
was found inside.
Dr Boorman said that thus there were two options. Cranial surgery could be performed on Duston Short, and two dozen Lucky Strikes, - lit, dropped into Short's
empty cavity, as a means of inducing an insatiable craving for Lucky Strikes.
Dr Boorman said that the other option was to arrange for a brain transplant.
He said "there are dozens of available brains being carried around the Expatdom by their owners, many wastefully ossifying through total mental inactivity. We must have an unused donor-brain for this procedure, so we'll need to be very choosy".
"Let's think of someone suitable", he said.
Consulting his medical thesaurus, Dr Boorman paused in silent reflection, genuflection, concentration and meditation for several moments, then turned to his colleagues and asked if Harry Moore might be located in the vicinity.

Wuxi China Expatdom builds world's biggest 9/11 memorial
WCE Trio Searching for Some Bee-Bop-A-Lula
brain-storming sessions, in their Gambays' backstage dressing rooms.
The trio, Neils Bohr - flute; Kennesaw "Hui Shan" Landis - piano and bagpiper,
and Hans Klinger - harp, have been playing to dimished audiences (sometimes nobody),
and feel that it's time that they re-form themselves and search-out new musical styles.
Hans Klinger said: "Even our title is uninspiring. And we could start by
re-naming ourselves to something funky".
Landis wants the Trio expanded. "We need some percussion. A drummer
would give us something to set the beat. I've been improvising the drum sounds, and it tires me out. I have to voice those 'ta-sish' cymbals, make lots of rat-tat-tat-tats, and also the deep 'whoomp-ka-BOOMS' of the bass drum".
Neils Bohr said "we need to post advertisements all over the Expatdom, like "strummers, drummers, and groovy tromb-bones players wanted".
Hans wants the Trio to look for a different image. "We need to look like
a band. ZZ-Top look sophisticated. The Stones wear genital-squeezer jeans. Maybe we could try wearing some outrageous gear?".
Neils agreed, and suggested that they wear loon-pants, or skirts, and thus project a transgender image.
But the trio can't decide which musical genre might bring the packed-house crowds back. They've considered Tex-Mex, rock-a-billygoat rock, folk, blues,calypso, and various other styles.
The WCE Trio have been given one week to revamp themselves. PM Mango said that suggestions are needed from Expats. Personally, Mango believes that a
142-piece Glenn Miller-type big band would bring back the swing.

Wuxi Red Guards outlast New Orleans Saints 42-34 in NFL Opener.
"It was amazing," Rabbi Goldson said. "The feeling of being in Lambeau Field and just having all of the Red Guards around me coming off of the Super Duper Bowl and just trying to do anything I can to contribute, and I certainly tried to make the most of my opportunities."
Blech, Goldson, and the rest of the Red Guards would not say what NFL team they would disguise themselves as in week two of the NFL season. They offered no comment to rumours that they may disguise themselves as Australia or New Zealand in the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

Lawrence Misses Andis Kaulins' Induction But Begins Celebrating Anyway
Major T.E. Lawrence: "Why, why? Why is it that I had to go riding-off
into the desert, and so I wasn't here for the
ceremony! Wahhhhhh!
Colonel Harry Brighton: "Now look here, Lawrence, old chap, no need
for getting yourself all worked-up. You're back here in
Gambays now, so cheer up!"
Lawrence: "No! Andis will never ever-ever-ever forgive me!".
Brighton: "It's all perfectly understandable. And, The Ceremony was filmed
by 28 Super Panavision 70s. It will begin screening next week at the
Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, so you can see every second of it!. Harry
Moore, and Sir David, are just putting the finishing-touches to the
editing, right at this moment!".
Lawrence: "Great! In that case, I'll have two more lemonades, please, Fred, with
lots of ice! And, I'm desperate for a smoke - has anyone here
got some Camels?".

Wuxi China Expatdom's Australian Expats First To Begin Celebrating Andis Kaulins' Induction
Harry Moore said that none of the three people shown here are him.
"No", Harry said, "I abstain completely from alcohol. But I'm delirious that Andis has taken his place in the Hall of Fame. I'm feeling intoxicated just thinking about that!". "I am breaking my teetotal commitment on this occasion, and have bought several cases of soda water."
"And I've just spoken to Kevin Rudd. A five-day holiday has been declared in Australia - Andis Kaulins Week. Also, in deference to this historic event, all of Australia's brown snakes and white pointer sharks have agreed not to bite anyone anymore.
Harry Moore added: "If the Wuxi China Expatdom should last for a thousand years, people will say, 'This was it's finest hour'."
Harry has rushed-out to buy 446 copies of the three-disc Special Edition Blu-Ray DVD, "Woman Walks Her Dog - The Andis Cut". And he is adding another 127 gold-framed portraits of Andis to the walls of his apartment, to complement the 226,000 Andis (in 3D) pictures he already has.

Wuxi China Expat has the world's most effulgent hair
Andis Kaulins Inducted Into Wuxi China Expatdom Hall Of Fame
media representatives have been making their way into the central
district of the Wuxi China Expatdom, - and today the moment they'd been waiting for arrived.
Some 40 billion people (somehow) gathered at the corner of
Zhongshan and Xuegian, to witness the Induction Ceremony of Andis Kaulins into the
Hall of Fame.
There was high-drama before the ceremony began. WCHOF curator, Kennesaw
"Hui Shan" Landis, staggered under the weight of the Andis Kaulins Induction Speech,
526,780 pages, and was unable to scale atop the towering scaffolding that had been
erected as the address-podium.
Harry Moore rushed to Landis' aid, and together they carried the 28 bound-volume speech to the top of the tower.
A visibly-emotional and breathless Landis said "I just don't know where to begin in narrating the Andis Kaulins biography." However, after being pumped with several cylinders of oxygen and amphetamines, Landis at last began the speech.
"Andis Kaulins is a towering figure in the WCE. He has been here from the time when Wuxi was a mere village, and has played a monumental role in building the Expatdom into the biggest, most-advanced Expatdom there ever was, and is likely to ever be, anywhere.
"Andis began his life on the prairies of Manitoba. A prodigy, he advanced directly from primary school Year 3 to the University of Winnipeg. In his sophomore year, Andis showed his flair for macro-economic theory by revising every written work of Milton Friedman - converting Friedman into an apostle of the laissez-faire.
Andis graduated, magna cum laude, as both a Doctor of Economics, AND Emeritus Professor of Advanced Linguistics.
"At his Alma mater, during one mid-semester break, Andis learnt that the Montreal Olympics was about to begin, so he ran all the way from Winnipeg to Montreal, thereby winning Gold in the men's marathon in the process.
"In Montreal, Andis went on to garner a record 226 Gold medals, un-matched to this day. He out-swam Mark Spitz. He out-decathloned Bruce Jenner. He
out-skated Torvill and Dean. He KO'd Sugar Ray Leonard 3-seconds into the first round. And he out-ran Princess Anne - on her horse.
"At that time, Andis singlehandedly played a part in re-writing the
history of modern Canada. Infuriated by the Fabianistical ethos of the tyrant,
Pierre Trudeau, Andis sneaked, unnoticed, into a grand reception for visiting
Headless of State Nicolaue Ceauseskew. Covertly, Andis slipped a whoopee-cushion on Pierre Trudeau's chair. "Merde!", shrieked a humiliated Trudeau, outraging the Canadian populace, and from that day forth, Trudeau began his inexorable slide into public-life oblivion.
"Arriving as the first English teacher in the Expatdom, Andis initially held an influential position as Lord Chamberlain to the former KoW.
But then, he was instrumental in the eventual dethroning of the criminal sovereign, exposing him as the Ayatollah of Mordor. Andis said "At first I never suspected that the Emperor had no clothes. But when he unexpectedly appeared at my front door, nude, well, I saw his true colours, and shortcomings."
"In the Expatdom", Landis continued, "Andis' accomplishments
are far too numerous to read-out here. But, here are but a few:"
- author; photographer; triple-Grammy vocalist; and of course,
an auteur whose films have been viewed by more people than can even be estimated!
, 'Th
"Andis began his cinema-photographic career early, as Second Unit
Director on the set of "Top Hat - The Remake", and few people know that it was in fact Andis' winged-feet, filmed in close-up, that appear in that movie.
"Here in the Expatdom, in 2007, Andis filmed the blockbuster "Woman Walks Her Dog", hailed by Otto Preminger, William Wyler, David Selznik, and
David Lean as, quote, 'The landmark of all cinema of all time'.
"Andis' other accomplishments here include an un-matched triple
Grand-Prix wins (electric scooter) on the tortuous Jiefang street-circuit, earning him the accolade "Colossus of Roads".
"His other sporting-triumphs, to list just a few, include:
- out-batting DiMaggio, nailing 3,376 homers;
- out-hockeying Bobby Orr; prior to leaving Manitoba, Andis
made 257,000 appearances in NHL regular season with 28 million
goals, 12 million assists and 98,515 points.
"Of course, Andis is also recognised as the finest English teacher
in all Expatdoms, anywhere, in the history of the language.
Harry Moore, the Boswell to Andis Kaulins, recalls: "One day I was sitting down with Andis (I was proud to be his whiteboard-wiper), and said to him: "Andis, you are the greatest teacher who ever lived, a film-maker, author, singer, advisor to Gorzo the Mighty - tell me, how do you DO all these things?!".
"Superbly", Andis replied.
Harry Moore told of the day when a female student said to him: "Harry, you're a teacher of some class!". "No, no, not all, I scoffed, laughingly, (pointing to Andis) "I stood on the shoulder of a giant!". My student, Harry continued, spontaneously emoted, of Andis: "I did but see him passing by, but I will love him until I die." Harry Moore then broke-down and wept unashamedly.
"So will I!", sobbed Harry.
Landis then lavished praise on Andis' seminal book, the complete
guide to teaching English. "Even the title of Andis' 14-volume text is pure-poetry: "From The Halls To Monty's Zoomer; From Balta To Malta (To Hell With Yalta), and From The Kama To Sutra".
Before Landis could deliver the induction-pronouncement (superfluous), on a pre-arranged secret signal, the crowd of 40 billion placed
on their top hats, put on their white ties, and their tails, and carried Andis, on their shoulders all the way to Taihu, in an unprecedented scene redolent of a
Roman triumph. The celebration partying is expected to continue for at least three months.
