11-06 19:35
tenman:
Ah.
11-06 19:35
Rush:
Whoever holds the name of the winning horse…wins this year’s coin:
11-06 19:36
Nothere:
I’ll have to double check , but you might have forgot me. Let me check
11-06 19:36
Friend and Foxx:
Notty, AVALANCHE is not the one acting up. But somebody seems bipolar.
11-06 19:36
Rush:
A 1936 silver half-dollar in honor of Charlie Chan’s 50-cent wager on Avalanche!
11-06 19:36
Nightwolf:
Nice lost mine I won one time. Due to moving.
11-06 19:36
Rush:
NT….you have KALAPOUR
11-06 19:36
Friend and Foxx:
Rush, we looked & don’t see us logged for SERPENTINE. Did we miss it?
11-06 19:37
tenman:
Does anyone know if Charlie ever wore a sweater in these movies?
11-06 19:37
Nightwolf:
Good question ten
11-06 19:37
Rush:
Serpentine may come up in the next round of draws!
11-06 19:37
Friend and Foxx:
11-06 19:38
Mike in DC:
Hm…Charlie even wore a shirt and tie to go fishing
11-06 19:38
Rush:
Do we see the movie reflecting in your glasses?
11-06 19:38
Nightwolf:
Who is that?
11-06 19:38
Rush:
“Friend and Foxx”
11-06 19:38
Friend and Foxx:

Friend and Foxx:
Camera came up by happy accident.
So Sally. Chopchop.
11-06 19:39
Rush:
As there are TEN of you here thus far, the second round will take us to 20 of 23 horses.
11-06 19:39
Nightwolf:
Nice
11-06 19:40
Friend and Foxx:
As we won in 2017, we defer to others.
11-06 19:40
Rush:
I am saving three for any lat arrivals. If there is no late arrival, I will draw names at random to hand out the last three!
11-06 19:40
Nightwolf:
Nice fr
11-06 19:40
Rush:
That is nice of you, sir!
11-06 19:40

11-06 19:41
Nothere:
Sorry for the delay. I somehow scrolled back to the halloween party. No honorable Rush didn’t forget. Ishamefully missed Kalapour being my horse. I will now kik a horseshoe in penance.
11-06 19:41
Friend and Foxx:
Rush, you are the icon (and, at night, beacon) of rectitude.
11-06 19:41
Rush:
CC borrows a cigarette in order to gain a possible clue.
11-06 19:41
Nightwolf:
LOL at not here
11-06 19:42
hounder:

11-06 19:42
Nightwolf:

Mike in DC:
Mysterious notes proliferate!
11-06 19:44
Nightwolf:
Yes they do Mike
11-06 19:44
Rush:
That brings us to 11 so that will be 22 out of 23 horses.
11-06 19:44
Friend and Foxx:
So OBVIOUSLY an inside job!
11-06 19:44
Rush:
One extra will be held till later for a late arrival, perhaps.
11-06 19:44
Nightwolf:
Good idea Rush
11-06 19:44
Rush:
11-06 19:44
Rich_Maine:
Aha the eyeglass clue
11-06 19:45
Nothere:

11-06 19:48
Mike in DC:
London was the film I hinted at, Dona
11-06 19:48
Rush:
Yes, “London”…but there’s another.
11-06 19:49
Nothere:
Turn in your gaurd card. He didn’t even fall for the old thrown rock trick.
11-06 19:49
Nightwolf:
I refusing to come off my tongue
11-06 19:49
Rush:
Another HINT: The first FOX “Charlie Chan” movie.
11-06 19:49
Nightwolf:
It is rather not coming off my tongue
Charlie Chan at the Olympics

11-06 19:51
Rush:
“Maybe YOU….have answer?’
11-06 19:51
Mike in DC:
all I kept thinknig was “CC Carries On” but that one is lost
11-06 19:51
Nothere:
All those crooks who try to get him and Charlie gets shot by accident.
11-06 19:51
Nightwolf:
Yes go figure not there
11-06 19:51
Rush:
Nice trick of words by CC…and he will use that again! Any takers?
11-06 19:52
Nightwolf:
Let’s say I’m pondering Rush
11-06 19:52
Rush:
“Maybe YOU….” trick.
NW:
11-06 19:52
Mike in DC:
Maybe YOU? (acting as a bartender)…in…
11-06 19:52
hounder:

11-06 19:52
Nightwolf:
Reno
11-06 19:52
Mike in DC:
11-06 19:53
Rush:
Hmmmm. I will need to look into Reno….
11-06 19:53
Mike in DC:
It’s the scene in the bar…just before the fight, Rush
11-06 19:53
johnr:
A favorite of mine!
11-06 19:53
Nothere:
I didn’t know the Scottish were famous for glue.
11-06 19:53
Rush:
But here is another that is nearly EXACTLY the same at the trick he used in this movie!
11-06 19:53
Nightwolf:
Things that make me go ponder
11-06 19:53
Rush:
Happens aboard a train…. (HINT)
11-06 19:54
Nightwolf:
Olympics
11-06 19:54

11-06 19:54
Mike in DC:
Just before they get shot at
11-06 19:54
Rush:
Yes!
CLUE here!
11-06 19:55
Mike in DC:
Easy, boy. Streamline emphasizes clue for the viewing audience. Now Chan explains…
11-06 19:55
Nightwolf:
Yeah not it was a switch not
11-06 19:55
tenman:
Charlie appreciates the importance of a good nap!
11-06 19:55
Nothere:
Ah yes. The cunning take nap plot.
11-06 19:55
Nightwolf:
Bagley sucks at playing dumb
11-06 19:56
Nightwolf:
Yes not there
11-06 19:56
Rush:
Dona….you now have…DAQIANSWEET JUNIOR…
11-06 19:56
Mike in DC:
Someone should tell him that it’s very unhealthy to point out a crook in a Chan movie…things usually happen to them…
11-06 19:56
Rich_Maine:
A GOOD rest
11-06 19:56
Nightwolf:
So true Mike
11-06 19:56
Nothere:
Take Collins for a ride. Maybe get him some new shoes.
11-06 19:57
Rush:
“Let’s go, Collins…”
“Goodbye, Collins!”
11-06 19:57
Mike in DC:
Take Collins for a ride. Take the canolli, leave the gun.

These horses’ names seem especially quirky this year, Rush
11-06 19:58
Godwinshelley:

Mike in DC:
NT. Whatever Serpentine says, DON’T EAT ANY APPLES
11-06 20:04
Rush:

11-06 20:08
Rush:
Yes.
11-06 20:08
Nightwolf:
Agreed hounder
11-06 20:08
Dona:
i agree hounder
11-06 20:08
Rush:
I think that added to my “dragginess” today!
11-06 20:08
Nothere:
O.k. somebody put their hat on riht.
11-06 20:09
Mike in DC:
Eddie to the rescue!
11-06 20:09
Rich_Maine:
Eddie needs a specialist to make him taller
11-06 20:09
hounder:
wish they’d pick 1 and stick with it. Don’t even care which 1.
11-06 20:09
Rush:
Lee knows something is up!
11-06 20:09
Rich_Maine:
YES Hounder!
11-06 20:09
Nothere:
Gee wilikers I’ll do my best.
11-06 20:10
Nothere:
Was that chop sockey?
11-06 20:10
Mike in DC:
Lee must have learned to drive from his father…
11-06 20:11
Mike in DC:
zippy marches in this movie
11-06 20:11
Nightwolf:
I think Lee did
11-06 20:11
Rush:
Looks like they got an actual laundry truck for this scene. They painted over the name on the sides!
11-06 20:11
Nightwolf:
Now that’s a lot of 🎆
11-06 20:12
Rush:
Now…THIS would really SPOOK the race horses!
11-06 20:12
Rich_Maine:
yes Rush
11-06 20:12
Nightwolf:
Indeed
11-06 20:12
Nothere:
Show them your badge Charlie.
11-06 20:12
Rich_Maine:
1 punch CC
11-06 20:12
tenman:
Charlie has a mean right
11-06 20:12
Rush:
I would demand a later start of this race to make sure the horses are okay!
11-06 20:13
Nothere:
Charlie Chan action star.
11-06 20:13
Nightwolf:
Yes he does tenman
11-06 20:13
Mike in DC:
That seems like a pretty shaky way to ID the horses…just by what blanket is on them?
11-06 20:13
Rush:
Yes, Mike!
There should be a team of support crew for each horse I would imagine!
11-06 20:14
Nothere:
Got to wonder about the officals at this track if the spot is that easy to remove.
11-06 20:14
Rush:
We see that in the other stables.
11-06 20:14
Nothere:
And as Honorable Mike points out the blankets.
11-06 20:14
Rush:
Several people with each horse.
BUSTED!
11-06 20:15
Nightwolf:
You lose before race starts
11-06 20:15
Mike in DC:
Don’t you just HATE when that happens?
11-06 20:15
Rush:
Yes!
11-06 20:15
Nightwolf:
Definitely
11-06 20:15
Rush:
Never a good thing.
11-06 20:15
Nightwolf:
Nope
11-06 20:15
Nothere:
Gambling ring? No were..phone repairmen in training.
11-06 20:15
Rush:
Yes!
11-06 20:16
Rich_Maine:
she wears a horse blanket coat
11-06 20:16
Rush:
I think an air rifle would be a better choise.
11-06 20:16
Mike in DC:
Go Lastotoschka!
11-06 20:16
Nightwolf:
Agreed rush
11-06 20:16
Rush:
As always, I turn away at the finish line trip line scene….
11-06 20:16
Mike in DC:
Not a very good plan overall, but the dart thing is particularly daft
11-06 20:17
Nothere:
So she marries whoever wins the race. Do the ockeys know about this?
11-06 20:17
Mike in DC:
Ouch!
11-06 20:17
Rush:
Yes….
I am not so sure the tripped horse did well as a result.
11-06 20:17
Mike in DC:
Go Avalanche!
11-06 20:17
Nothere:
Depends on which way you dart Mike.
11-06 20:18
Mike in DC:
Poor horse
11-06 20:18
Rich_Maine:
Tip Collins sleeps with the fishes
11-06 20:18
Nightwolf:
Yes she does rich
11-06 20:18
Rush:
Later, Chan let’s us, the audience, know that Avalanche is “hunky-dory” to make us feel better.
11-06 20:18
Nothere:
It was a stunt horse.
11-06 20:19
Rush:
Yes, Rich…
Yes, it was.
11-06 20:19
Nothere:
Why does the track managers office have so many handcuffs on the wall?
11-06 20:19
Rush:
Okay…Rachel gets….ASHRUN….
11-06 20:20
Mike in DC:
Maybe they’re stirrups?
11-06 20:20
hounder:
brb dog walk
11-06 20:20
Mike in DC:
OK. Thanks, Rush!
11-06 20:20

Rush:

11-06 20:20
Godwinshelley:
I’m not sure why my fellons are hiding at the lagoon – but it gives me a good feeling about the race tomorrow
11-06 20:21
Nightwolf:
Rush how do you let us know who won
11-06 20:21
Nothere:
