	Harold "Dickie" Bird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harold Dennis Bird, MBE, commonly known as "Dickie" Bird (born in Barnsley, Yorkshire on April 19, 1933) is a retired international cricket umpire.
		Bird's attention to detail turned nasty at the centenary Test at Lord's in 1980, between England and Australia.
		Although the Saturday of this particular match had mostly pleasant sunshine, Bird and his fellow umpire refused to let play start because of the previous night's rain; parts of the outfield were still waterlogged too much for comfort, according to the officials.

	The Neighborly Thing to Do
		This, Harold felt, was exactly up the middle of his alley and would give him a good excuse to help set a few things in their proper position at his neighbor's home.
		Harold waved his hand weakly in Smith's direction, his other hand grabbing a fistful of his sweater vest in a manful attempt to hold in the laughter.
		Harold took a deep breath, ran through several ideas and settled on the one that did not involve the infliction of grievous bodily harm.

		Harold had always thought that life was just not worth living without the fear that, at any moment, the world could be destroyed six times over.
		He discovered that the male birds of this time-line were unnaturally virile - and, to be scientific, horny.
		It was the first day of Harold's "fucking bird bombs" being employed - which is why he was shaking in his lab-coat; he was trying to restrain his excitement.

	Queer As Folk Addiction \| Gale Harold \| Sweet Bird of Youth
		Sweet Bird of Youth is a 1959 Tennessee Williams play which tells the story of a vigorous but aging movie star trying to recapture her youth, and a driven yet somewhat unscrupulous young man who is seeking stardom and true love.
		The play, which has its lyric and lurid moments at the same time, is about the end of many things, and therein lies the dramatic cliff Tennessee constructs for the viewer: all of the characters are on their last chance.
		The form of Sweet Bird of Youth is poetic and the characters in it are larger than life.

		True, this place is spotless, and there’s no bulletproof barrier separating the patrons from their birds, but some of the brightest and busiest shacks sling the most manky, discouraging poultry outside of a crab trap.
		On a recent visit there was a distinctly dispiriting vibe as jukebox slow jams echoed over the dim dining room, empty but for a pair of bejeweled and extremely well-fed young ladies who grazed the buffet while their older male escort remained in his booth conspicuously counting a large stack of bills through his sunglasses.

		The hero (always a relative term in noir) is Harold Dodge, who falls hard for a babe in spike heels who's been hoodwinked on an automobile transaction and wants him to "unwind the deal" for her.
		Harold, a quirky but loveable, bear of a man, with fifty in his rear view mirror, can't say no to a beautiful woman.
		Note on irritating speech mannerisms mentioned in previous review: Harold's the only character in the book who peppers his conversation with "i.e." I've known people with at least equally irritating tics, and my impression was that that's all it is: i.e., characterization.
