Africa canada queen When I saw these three words, I immediately thought of the movie The African Queen, with Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn.
Wikipedia has a fairly thorough synopsis of the movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Africa...%28film%29
In a TL;DR version, the movie is about a boat captain giving a ride to a missionary woman during the WW1 era in East Africa. They have adventures before falling in love, skirting death, and eventually being captured by Germans and sentenced to death. They escape when the German ship blows up when it strikes some homemade bombs. Watch the movie, if you haven't seen it. It's outstanding.
Bogart played Charlie, a Canadian boat captain who delivers supplies and mail to Hepburn's character, Rose, and her brother who are missionaries in East Africa. The run had a couple other words that related to this movie: channel, river . It is essentially a war movie but focused on the two main characters and takes place pretty much on that boat and the river.
I have no idea why this movie came to mind but it feels important in some way.
Black eight raised brings to mind an eight ball in pool/billiards. "Behind the eight ball" is not a place anyone wants to be.
Then there's aliens, alien in the waning section. What's up with that? Is it reference to ET-kind of aliens or coming-over-the-border aliens?
Really a confusing run, at least for me.
