Is that a submachine gun in your trunks or are you just pleased to see me?

This came in this morning and gave me a laugh. But would somebody please stick an apostrophe in the IM and send it back to me, because it’s making me agitated like that.
I’m looking at this picture and thinking, one of them is rotting in hell and the rest of us will pay good money not to see the other three in their trunks now.
That Karmenu Vella there is going to be the next EU Commissioner. I hope he saved those trunks for meetings. Sixty million dollars is a lot more bulgy than a budgie, which is why John Dalli wore shorts not Speedos.

Was Mintoff gay?
I thank Joseph for standing up for LGBT rights and creating a liberal country where we can ask such questions.
[Daphne – He was bi. He went after women, but he also liked young men who had that look about them that was really big in the 1970s. He would have thrown himself at Robert Plant, the 1974 version, for instance. John Attard Montalto had loads of hair and was quite smiley-cute back then compared to the rest of what was available.

“He asked me if I liked to swim and walk. The next day we went on our first swimming trip. On that occasion, he warned me that I had to be careful. If I were to become his friend, I would become a political target. “I’ve always wanted to be your friend,” I said. “I choose friendship.”
From that point, and for the next 16 years or so, I met him at least once a week (except during my 22-month stint as minister). We had a special rapport that, perhaps, can only exist when two men are almost 40 years apart in age and complete opposites in several respects.
He would often ask me to accompany him on trips abroad. I made him laugh, lent a non-judgmental ear to some of his confidential reminiscences, and he enjoyed grumbling that he had to take care of me when it should have been the opposite.”
I just thought I’d help my fellow countrymen come to terms with a gay despot.
[Daphne – H.P., hasn’t it clicked with you yet that most of the world’s dictators were homosexual or bisexual and going for the macho look?]
Gaddafi was also renowned for having boy sex slaves.
It has long clicked with me, Daphne. But I am not allowed to state that Mintoff was gay, because 1) either Malta’s libel laws will come down upon me like a ton of bricks or 2) no one will listen or 3) no one will publish the statement because the country’s media are sanitised to surgical standard.
Dictators are usually rather attached to their mothers.
Oh yes, let’s thank Joseph for “creating a liberal country”! Xejn ma jonqosna.
Dom Mintoff would have loved to meet the guitarists from the rock group Spinal Tap then.

[Daphne – No, that’s the wrong aesthetic. It’s the late 1960s/early 1970s look you want, not the late 1970s/1980s: girly look but straight and bad boy. http://pastdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/marc-bolan-resize-2.jpg Remind you of anyone in the photo up there?]
The man next to il-Guy looks tiny bit like Marc Bolan but if Dom liked budgies in Speedos then he would have loved the Spinal Tap guys with the legendary “armadillos in their trousers”.
Dom’s love would have been blues guitarist Robben Ford who happens to look a lot like John Attard Montalto.

[Daphne – He does, yes, but with straight hair. And he’s way too old.]
