Stupid Transformer!

It’s Saturday morning.  I’m dragging my feet to the living room, after another non-restful night.  (Ramadan is having it’s toll on me.

"You Remarkable Pig!"

It’s 2:06 am on Saturday and I’m flipping through the channels, having my sohoor.  I stumble upon the old classic Mutiny on The Bounty with Marlon Brando as the naval officer Fletcher Christian, who starts the mutiny against the tyrannical captain Bly.
