Bonnie + Clyde X 4

If you’re worried about sitting around the ol’ homestead this weekend with nothing to do, fear no more. Grab the kids, gas up the station wagon and head on over to Gibsland, La.

What for? For festivities noting the 75th anniversary of the ambush that wiped out Bonnie and Clyde, that’s what.

And it sounds like fun with a capital F!

For starters there will be not one but four — count ’em, four — re-enactments of the police ambush that sent Bonnie and Clyde from this world into the next.

Now, I’ve seen a re-enactment or two in my day, and usually the re-enactors are satisfied with one take. How did Bonnie and Clyde rate four?

Will they all be the same? Will there be fake blood each time? That's a lot of costume changes. (Well, four, I guess.)

And how about dramatic dying by the Bonnie and Clyde characters? Can they do it in different ways each time, perhaps uttering different last lines, like, “Bonnie, I love you!” or, "Clyde, our love was never meant to be," or “Damn, these machine gun bullets really hurt!”

Seems like a lot of excitement. If I go I’ll just focus on the pancake breakfast. Pancakes never let you down.
