The Halse version

[Monty]

Oooh errr. Looking forward to reading your magnum opus, Simon.

I've see many posts from Simon making the claim Jack as a sole killer is a myth, he never exsisted yet I have not seen one with supporting evidence.

As Scroobious Pip once said "Throw enough $hit at the wall and some of it will stick but make no mistake your walls still covered in $hit".

I'd wait with baited breath if it wasn't for the fact I'd pass out.

Hi Lynn,

Yep, even though Snidely Whiplash wore a cloak and top hat, like Doc Ripper.

Dudley Do-Right, handsome defender of justice, would have solved the WM in a heartbeat.

Regards,

Simon

Dudley Do-Right came within a (horse) hair of catching Jack, but his horse "Horse" was startled by the bloodshed, interupting Jack, who made good his escape. This was revealed in a long-lost episode of the cartoon, in which Dudley went undercover for the Home Office.

Hello Caroline. I forgive you; George Carlin forgives you.

Hello Simon. You mean he even eclipses Snidely Whiplash? Drat.

Jack is the greatest fictional villain of all time.

Oooh errr. Looking forward to reading your magnum opus, Simon.

Hi Caz,

The fictional Jack had nothing to do with the factual five.

And therein lies the real mystery behind the Whitechapel murders.

All the rest is fantasy.

Regards,

Simon

I thought that was a myth put about by Brits that some people - Americans are the men who are usually blamed - actually believe Sherlock Holmes was a real detective and Jack the Ripper a fictional murderer.

If only all these damned women, with their annoying cut throats and ripped up innards, were not so real, and could be filed under fiction themselves, it would be so much easier to spirit away the real man who went out with a knife sharpened for the purpose of murdering and mutilating them.

Sorry about all the dirty words I've just chalked on this wall.

Love,

Caz

Hello David. Although I eschew the title, I think one MUST be interested in fiction to pursue "Jack."

"Can fictional characters write?" So, for example, could Dickens' notorious villain, Squeers, write?

Beware, Lynn, you're becoming a fictional ripperologist.

Hello David.

"I'm observing the modern deconstruction of the double event . . . "

Hope you have a front row seat. And there's no charge.

"The Whitechapel murderer seems to exist only when slashing a victim - just for minutes, on 4 nights."

You are generous. I'd say "Not at all."

"He didn't choose the location of the Stride murder."

Well, SOMEONE did. Jack? No such character.

"He didn't cry "Lipski"."

As you may recall, the paper ("Star"?) began to doubt that story. Rightly, I'd say.

"He couldn't write."

Here's an interesting metaphysical question, "Can fictional characters write?" So, for example, could Dickens' notorious villain, Squeers, write?

"He threw the apron . . . "

Hmm, I'd say within a few feet of the body. So, how did it end up where it did? Makes no sense.

". . . near to the most bizarre graffito ever, written at an equally bizarre height."

Not bizarre if you feel cheated. Bizarre? Well, who WAS Kilroy anyway? Height? What about Quilp?

"I'm about to open a thread called: 'Did Jack go the toilet?'"

I'm sure it would make a good bit more sense than many threads I have visited.

" . . . as to make sure some think he did not."

Well, did Quilp use the bathroom? As I recall, Dickens had him EAT eggshells, not walk on them. Eggshells must eventually exit.

Cheers.

I'm observing the modern deconstruction of the double event with extreme stupefaction.
The Whitechapel murderer seems to exist only when slashing a victim - just for minutes, on 4 nights.
He didn't choose the location of the Stride's murder.
He didn't cry "Lipski".
He couldn't write.
He threw the apron just by chance near to the most bizarre graffito ever, written at an equally bizarre height.

I'm about to open a thread called : "Did Jack go the toilet ?", as to make sure some think he did not.

Hello David. Well, I have been looking for answers. Here I seek an opinion.

Hello Jon. Then its proximity to the bloody apron piece was mere coincidence?

Cheers.

Trevor has explained it all, Lynn. Where have you been ?
