07-24 19:57Mike n Rachel in DC: Bowanide?
07-24 19:57Rush: No….
07-24 19:58Angel Santiago Saltamontes: BUY ANYTHING? Here’s the quick Story Behind The Story: not long after i (and the bank) bought my home, in NC, a sister of mine who isn’t NAMED Karen posted something on Facebook about the Horrible South, &:in her screed (we both do that, but she’s a humorless would-be academic) she japed at “hicks who [redacted] at the Piggly Wiggly.”. Within an hour i’d drafted a friend to come over and made him.shoot 5vor 6 frames till we got my big head exactly between the words. I posted the pic in a Reply to her calumny, to no immediate reaction but months later she told me she would never visit my manse because [redacted]. I’m a Piggly boy!!
07-24 19:58Rush: OXYZONE!
07-24 19:58Rich Maine: of course…..precursor to tetragene
07-24 19:58mda19083:
07-24 19:58hounder: oxyzone must not be too deadly. they’re all alive
07-24 19:59Mike n Rachel in DC: excellent scrabble word
07-24 19:59Angel Santiago Saltamontes: Rich, thanks for noting that. We must be vigilant.
07-24 19:59Rush: Great tale related, Angel!
07-24 19:59Matt: Back to normal…..lol
07-24 19:59Rich Maine: but notice its not flammable
07-24 19:59Dona: Oh my gosh Angel
07-24 19:59Rush: She can learn much from the South!
07-24 19:59Angel Santiago Saltamontes: You’re ALL RIGHT. Whatever THAT is!
07-24 19:59Rush: IF she wanted to!
07-24 20:00Mike n Rachel in DC: You are always remarkably centered, Angel. Kudos for the camera work…and for some NC love.
07-24 20:00Nothere: Fortunatly for the killer he was dealing with the Cha who skipped chemistry class.
07-24 20:00Dona: agreed Rush
07-24 20:00Rush: “Dog cannot chase three rabbits at same time.”
07-24 20:00Angel Santiago Saltamontes: Fellows & friends, thank YOU so much! YOU are of course as always invited!
07-24 20:01Rush: We just MAY do so….
07-24 20:01Mike n Rachel in DC: lived in Durham for about 20 years.
07-24 20:01Rush: One never knows….
07-24 20:01Nothere: Sadly must disagree. Have alwauys found Angel off center, and kilter, and rocker.
07-24 20:01Rush: At this point, BB is still not “officially” a member of the Chan “team.”
07-24 20:01hounder: angel, what would she do with a grocery store called hogglw woggly? and yes, there was at least 1 named that.
07-24 20:02Rush: NT, that’s exactly why we love him!
07-24 20:02Mike n Rachel in DC: It all depends on WHICH center one is contemplating, NT
07-24 20:02Angel Santiago Saltamontes: Rush, think the world could use an a capella rendition of “Hound Dog” (“you ain’t never caught a rabbit) by a trio?
07-24 20:02Rush: AH!
07-24 20:02Dona: That’s true Rush. When I retire I plan to make a very long car trip and go visit everyone I can think of. So all of you beware.
07-24 20:02Rich Maine: and the cats in the closet….
07-24 20:02Rush: BB meets Carolina!
07-24 20:03hounder: bb never misses a chance to make time, just like the chan boys.
07-24 20:03Rush: THAT is SOME rock!
07-24 20:03Angel Santiago Saltamontes: Hounder et al. (not al gore!), there’s dozens, maybe hundreds of PigWigs!! All over the Horrible, Beautiful South!
07-24 20:03Rush: Now the “fun” REALLY begins!
07-24 20:04Rich Maine: yes rush, the funhouse is the best
07-24 20:04Mike n Rachel in DC: BB + fun house…can’t miss entertainment
07-24 20:04Rush: A machine to teach how to count to 6.

07-24 20:05Angel Santiago Saltamontes: What fools these mortals be.
07-24 20:06Rush: YES!Tommy!
07-24 20:06Rich Maine: poor tommy
07-24 20:07Angel Santiago Saltamontes: The war is the cameo guest star of all these great, great early ’40s Chans.
07-24 20:07Rush: Tommy takes a beating for his Pop.
07-24 20:07Nothere: Many movies the killer aims at Chan, but I think this is the third film he was taken prisioner.
07-24 20:07Rush: True, Angel!VERY much so!”Tasted like RAT!”
07-24 20:07Angel Santiago Saltamontes: Let’s try Fourth Degree.
07-24 20:07Mike n Rachel in DC: here we go
07-24 20:08Rush: (Cough)Fun house mirror.
07-24 20:08Rich Maine: I take the fifth!
07-24 20:08Nothere: Stop fooling around. Use sisxth degree.
07-24 20:08Rush:
07-24 20:08Angel Santiago Saltamontes: Right behind you, Rich! Sixth!
07-24 20:08Rush: A jitterbuggin’ skeleton!”
07-24 20:08Angel Santiago Saltamontes: SEVENTH, then!
07-24 20:09Rush: Tommy is in a BAD way!We see CC’s love of Tommy.
07-24 20:10Rush: His put-downs, though sounding harsh, are actually in good nature!
07-24 20:10Angel Santiago Saltamontes: Saints preserve us from any CGI or AI runs at these films. These scenes would only be wrecked by tech, say me & the kwikbrown Foxx here.
07-24 20:11Mike n Rachel in DC: heavy fur moment
07-24 20:11Angel Santiago Saltamontes: YOW!
07-24 20:11Nothere: Got to hand it to BB. Even being shot at he gets his hat first.
07-24 20:11Rush: True again, Angel.
07-24 20:11Dona: Agreed Angel
07-24 20:11Rush: There goes this week’s gimmick!

07-24 20:14Rush: An adlib.
07-24 20:14tenman: Surprise party continue!! lol
07-24 20:14Angel Santiago Saltamontes: Rush, has anybody ever culled to isolate, then compiled, MUSIC from the films?
07-24 20:14Rush: Not that I know of, Angel.But it would be a fun project!”Monogram Stock Music…and more…”
07-24 20:15Mike n Rachel in DC: there is a lot of recycled music from film to film and with other films…the same licks keep coming back
07-24 20:15tenman: Tommy to the rescue!
07-24 20:15Rush: Karl Karzos.

07-24 20:17Nothere: And so we end with good reading, and a promise of exciting visit by august persononage of Donna.
07-24 20:17Mike n Rachel in DC: Webster was short for George?
