I am having problems already with Blogger. This is making me late for my bath. This is not good.
Peter Maloney, I tried to leave a response to your comment like five times....the one where you talk about Ivan Milat mailing his finger to the High Court...I couldn't get it to take.
I signed off and back on and tried again. No good. I tried leaving the comment while not signed in and then signing in after. No good.
The comment just stays there in the comment box.
I cut and pasted. Here's what I was trying to say in the appropriate place, Peter.
Blogger is in a bad way. Seriously.
What a great compliment---saying my blog should perhaps be a controlled substance lol!
Thanks!
I did know about Ivan trying to post his finger.
I think that will sort of become legendary in that gruesome world.
And the press loved it, because it made great copy: "MILAT GIVES THE FINGER TO THE COURT."
I suppose the movie Wolf Creek was based loosely on him.
I only knew about the finger posting because I was Googling serial killers for material for my Birthday Book for Serial Killers (after Gertrude Stein). I only wrote January so far. I forget if I included him. I'm fairly sure I did, but I have no mind from day to day.
I think as with Bundy the desire for escape and to kill again is very strong with Milat.
The human mind is very flexible, as the Dalai Lama would tell him.
If he must be tortured by desire, you'd think he could at least substitute obsessions so that he became one of the world's most notorious hatmakers or Scrabble Players. If he became really, really good at some new hobby, he might eventually get the serial killer notoriety downgraded to just an asterisk on his name.
as in...
*Ivan Milat was also once an infamous serial killer (in the distant past).
or...
"Did you know that top-ranked Scrabble player Ivan Milat was once famous....as a serial killer?!? Amazing but true."
This is, after all, a life of second chances.
Well, if Ivan Milat didn't kill you it is.
