The Lost Blogs (22 page)

Hour 17: Back! I’m feeling refreshed and fully in control. There was a moment there where I think I was getting a little bit
stir-crazy from being alone for so long on my own In this can. I’ve checked my progress, and I am glad to say that the
Spirit of St. Louis
is now just over halfway through this amazing journey. Donald took over flying for a while and he’s still flying right now.
He’s an amazing pilot and a truly great friend. Oh wait, he’s saying something.

Hour 20: Charles has asked me to impart my design wisdom to those reading these entries. I am both honored and extremely pleased
to be assisting Mr. Lindbergh in such a way. Charles and I go way back if you must know, our histories intertwining like a
wall of ivy gripping the sides of a tall, brick two-story home. I would fancy a cup of tea at the moment but I’m afraid such
a thing isn’t possible.

Hour 21: No more… No more writing…

Hour 22: Hahahahahahahaha.

Hour 23: ad;ljkdafp82-fadkh;d. a;dfkjlds;LHJD ; ;ADSLKF9283(*Y&(*)7B AD;LKJHDLFKHAD.

Modern Films, Modern Times

There is a certain beauty to silence.

Peaceful. Quiet. Reflective. Two people, enveloped in such, will often find that their unspoken expressions speak louder than
any words they could possibly muster. Silence, in my opinion, is the loudest joy I have ever not heard.

Modern Times
arrives in movie houses this week—and it is the first film in which I utter a spoken phrase. Mind you, this is a silent film.
There are, yes, mechanized sounds that pipe through speakers during the film, but the actors (myself,
Paulette Goddard
,
Henry Bergman
,
Stanley Sandford
and
Chester Conklin
) never say a word. At the very end of the film, which you will have to sit through to see, I utter gibberish that can be
heard on the limited audio track — but contrary to popular belief this is not symbolic of Charlie Chaplin starting to make
“talkies.”

The talkies are nothing but a passing fad. I’m well aware of the awards and honors being given to films that have jumped on
the wagon of sound… But for “The Tramp” this is not the world for him. He communicates through actions. Through expressions.
Through body movement. When “The Tramp” embraces sound, and begins to talk, well—there is nothing left of the Tramp that the
public has loved. If the Tramp were to speak, he would have no reason to move. And without movement, there is no comedy.

So, yes — I will continue to make silent films as long as I can, and I believe that if I can continue to make films that I
am proud of, that so too will the public embrace such movies and abandon these loud, technological monsters that are the current
flavor of the month.

If you would like to be kept updated as to my next film, as well as finding information about
Modern Times
, please join the
Official Chaplin online club
and you’ll get a special gift sent to you at home (a replica shoe from
The Gold Rush
that is actually edible!).

And go see
Modern Times
so I can continue making films starring your favorite character, “The Tramp” (
Official Tramp Page
).

Holy Words

In God’s name, this holy place has been constructed—where God’s words can flow through me. This is His plan and I am but merely
a vessel for His blessed goals.

On His behalf, Saint Michael the Archangel appeared to me in a vision, telling me that I should communicate these holy words
with the people of France in such a place which was denoted as
www.joanofarc.fr
. It seems, unfortunately, that Saint Michael had been unaware that one had already secured such a name. Saint Catherine and
Saint Margaret came to me in a vision soon thereafter, suggesting that since
www.joanofarc.fr
was already taken, that
www.joanofarc-site.fr
would be more than acceptable to the Lord. Unfortunately, as God is my witness, one had already acquired
www.joanofarc-site.fr
and so I once again contacted Saint Michael the Archangel, who suggested
www.thejoanofarcultimatesite.fr
, which was also taken. In the end, the Lord provides—and as you are here you have seen that
www.joanofarc-site.org
was available to me.

And so, in God’s name, I acted. Seek, and ye shall find. Read, and thou shall understand. Act, and God will act. I act with
His words as my defense.

God has commanded me to drive the English out of France. This is my mission and I must communicate as such to the Dauphin.
This is, as it seems, a complicated request for a woman such as myself with only sixteen years behind her… Even more complicated,
as I must find an escort who will take me to his court at Chinon. This is something that seems, at first, to be an unreasonable
thing to ask of me. But if I am sent by God, the King of Heaven… to ensure that such events are carried out—there is no denying
the Almighty.

If you are a soldier or an individual who shares my dedication to the Lord and who would accept the mission of accompanying
me through Burgundian-controlled territory to the Dauphin’s court in Chinon—please contact me through a vision, or if e-mail
is easier:
[email protected]
.

I am not afraid, nor should you be. The lot of us have been chosen by God to drive the English out of France. By joining me
on this journey you will be fulfilling the plans of the Almighty—who hath predicted the events which I shall be involved with.

Pillow Talk

Pillow Talk
is now in theaters everywhere!!

It’s my first picture with Doris Day, and if I can be so bold—she is one extremely sexy lady! I mean, you can’t look at that
golden blond hair and that perfect smile and those long, long legs (watch out, fellas!) and tell me that she isn’t one of
the most beautiful actresses you’ve ever seen! God knows, I forgot some of my lines because I just couldn’t stop looking at
this adorable woman!

If you don’t know,
Pillow Talk
is a really great romantic comedy which tells the story of a man (me) and a woman (Doris) who find that they hate each other
after having to share a telephone line — but as you can imagine, we eventually fall in love! (Thank God, I’d hate to do a
movie where I didn’t end up getting the girl!)

Did you know that Doris started out as a dancer? Well, of course you did! I mean, dancers have a certain body type (ladies,
stop reading and join me and the boys at the end of this page) that, well, is fit for activity! And Doris, she is oh so hot!
A few days on the set I thought I was getting sick because I felt like I had a fever but you know what!? That wasn’t any fever,
boys—that was Doris making me feel that way. All weak-kneed and everything! All I can say is just… WOWWOWWOW!

Now don’t get me wrong—a lot of you are going to say, “But what about Elizabeth Taylor, Rock?” Well, you know that Elizabeth
is just one of the most beautiful women on the face of the earth (and maybe I had a little experience with her, wink wink),
but I just have to say that I am completely in love with Doris Day—she just makes me feel like I’ve never felt before! Now,
don’t get your gossip mills all up in a twist—we’re not IN LOVE in real life, but I’m just saying that a girl as beautiful
and sexy as Doris was just a huge pleasure to work with and, well, you go see the movie and you’ll agree with me, men. She
is, in a word, amazing!!

Before I head out to play some golf and visit a few of my lady friends (don’t tell Doris!), I wanna give a shout out to a
few blogs of some of my good, close friends: There’s
Billy
,
Frank
,
Emilio
,
Juan
,
George
,
James
,
Carl
and our close buddy we call
The Sombrero
. Ha! Don’t ask! Just visit their sites and tell ’em that the ol’ Rock said hello!

Ratta-tat Ratta-tat Ratta-tat

Der röte Kampfflieger strikes again! Oh, I am sorry to my poor sad readers who do not speak the superior German language.
Let me rephrase for you!

Hello, you Frenchmen! With your pitiful little flying planes that cannot outrun me or escape my bullets! To you, le Diable
Rouge is here to shoot you down! Oh, you are not French, but you are English!? Then it is not der röte Kampfflieger or le
Diable Rouge who keeps you awake at night! Instead, it is none other than the Red Baron!

Ratta tat, ratta tat, ratta tat! The sounds of my machine guns bore a hole in your dreams as you try try try to get away from
my ratta tat ratta tat ratta tat!

Welcome to my digital journal here on the web!! Glad all of you, no matter what country you are from, were able to find your
way here.

Of course, had you been FLYING in your mediocre machines to try and meet me, you would have little success as I would be hiding,
there in the clouds, with my ratta tat ratta tat ratta tat (my machine guns), which would do you in! Will you become my 45th
downed opponent!? Will you crawl home in defeat after meeting me face-to-face in the skies!? Know this, and know this well—der
röte Kampffleiger will defeat you with little effort and take your lives in the process!!

Be sure to visit the sites of all those who have fallen to me—I have a helpful link list there to the right so that it’s simple
and easy to peruse their sites (which are hardly ever updated, due to the fact that they’re DEAD!).—My doing, FYI.

I have, of course, provided this list to immortalize der röte Kampfflieger’s triumphs! With each downed plane, I will include
yet another link to their blogs! A way for you to see that each of my successes represents another’s failure! Ratta-tat ratta-tat
ratta-tat! (And because the supply of silver, which I used to use to create silver goblets memorializing each of my “kills,”
has recently been restricted here in Germany!)

But what does der röte Kampfflieger care about such trivial things! Do you see that list of forty-four links!? They have all
fallen to the superior skills of le Diable Rouge! The, as you say with wonder, Red Baron!

Hope you’ve had such a wonderful time here on my blog! I will hope to update this again soon with more links to those who
have fallen to my ratta-tat ratta-tat ratta-tat (machine guns)!!

Until then, you know who this is!

Scouting for Boys

Scrumptious, just simply scrumptious!

A jolly time was had in South Africa—if not the direct result of a successful campaign against the Zulus, but more importantly
due to the smiling, cheery faces and attitudes of my personal team of native boys! My own personal team of native boys! Oh.
how I love the sound of it. I immediately came back to the U.K., and rewrote my now best-selling book
Aids to Scouting
to incorporate all that I had learned by working so closely with my dark-skinned comrades!
