I was just watching the movie One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest just before I read this thread and some others on the same tantrum.
And it just occurred to me that N1LAF is the Randall McMurphy of Ham Island and AD4MG is sort of the Nurse Ratched of the Forum.
I'm just waiting to see who is going to take the role of the Chief character . . . .
This is why I occassionally donate to the site - it's at least as good entertainment as cable TV and costs a lot less.
I meant to comment earlier...

Yeah, I'm a cold, heartless tyrant and N1LAF is a hero with a tremendous sense of humor. You nailed it, big guy.
QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

You got it backwards. You've never read the book, I take it. That's OK. It's common for people who watched the movie as kids years ago to mistake McMurphy for a hero and Nurse for a "heartless tyrant".
McMurphy is an immature idiot trouble maker. McMurphy ends up lobotomized then dead. That's not a good thing.
Nurse Rached tries to keep the loonies under control. Nurse Rached wins in the end.
Chief is the hero.

I give you credit for calling that one! I never had the pleasure of reading the book. Huge mistake on my part. And, it has been many years since I watched the movie, which came out just about the time I graduated (1974), that I do recall. A quick check on IMDB reveals the film debuted in 1975.
I will set aside the cold, winter nights this year for reading that book, and get back to you on my impressions of the characters. Yours is an interesting perspective.

Only in the Bizzaro World of LAF....

Oh.Vintery, mintery, cutery, corn,
Apple seed and apple thorn,
Wire, briar, limber lock
Three geese in a flock
One flew East
One flew West
And one flew over the cuckoo's nest
:roll:
Insinuating that Luke is the Embodiment of the Combine? I don't think so. Fergawdsakes.
Maybe I'll rip my computer from it's place, throw it out the window, and run away.
Damn right, I read the book. And many others.

Chief kills McMurphy after the lobotomy. I also recall the kid with the stutter killing himself after the nurse browbeat him following the incident with the hooker. It's a disturbing movie, I guess the book is similarly disturbing?

I didn't think you would.
As you often do, you read way too much into things. Don't take it literally.
