Earlier today DailyMail.com posted a news story about Iranian president Ebrahim Raisis's helicopter crashing, and the speculation that he might have died. (As I write this there's no confirmation, but that is besides the point.)
The story tells us that it was Raisis who ordered the massive drone and rocket barrage on Israel last month, which did little damage, but was likened to kicking a sleeping tiger.
Evidently there is some animosity in the UK toward Iran...my point is not to delve into that, but into the subtext that exploded in the comments section, which over a period of a few hours went from 112 to 4,600.
The comments, about Raisis's probably demise go like this. The subtext is some of the best I've ever read, and could, no...SHOULD be the dialogue in a GodFather IV script.

Thought I'd already had an amazing weekend walking in the sunshine - amazing countryside, nice pub lunch with golden pint of cider. But this just put the cherry on the cake.

Fresh Scottish salmon on the BBQ resting on a cedar board for supper, with new spuds dripping in butter with peas. A beer is already in hand with chilled Australian Red Wing with the fish. Yep, it's a good evening.

I just had Scottish salmon with a crisp Caesar salad and cherry tomatoes...so I agree a good evening.

Oh, I love lemon cheesecake! A lovely day for it, too.
And so it went. Great subtext is worth memorializing.
