Rush: Hi Louise!
Rush: Good evening to you!
Rush: How was your week?
Rush: Did you have a good Thanksgiving?
Louise: I have not gotten around to scanning that stuff yet. My hand is finally recovering from the surgery so I will get to it soon.
Rush: I am happy to hear of your healing.
Louise: Thanksgiving was travelling too much. I sat in the back of the car for hours!!!
Louise: So I am off to make dinner and will be back at 8.
Rush: When I do that, I usually catch some sleep between reading!
Rush: Okay.
Rush: See you then!
Matt1 has joined this room
Rush: Good evening, Matt!
Matt1: Hello Rush!
Rush: How are you this evening…and welcome back!
Mike n Rachel in DC has joined this room
Matt1: Just got back to town today…..A bit tired and I may be coming down with a cold
Rush: Mike/Rachel!
Matt1: Hello M & R!
Rush: WELCOME!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Good evening all!
Rush: Are you recovered after the trip, Matt?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Matt–hope you shake the impending bug!
Matt1: The trip was amazing, but it was long
Rush: AH! I missed your post above, matt!
Rush: Takes a little time to recover from relaxation!
Matt1: Yes!
Rush: 🙂
Rush: How was the Canal?
Matt1: Did you get the pic I sent you from Panama?
Rush: Did you stop off at Manolo’s Cabaret?
Rush: I saw “Chan-Chan”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hope you didn’t run into Reiner!
Matt1: lol, No did a partial transit in a ferry and then a full transit in our ship…..full days
Matt1: Yes, I had to laugh
Rush: Be right back….
Mike n Rachel in DC: How long does it take to sail through the canal?
Matt1: Typically 6-7 hours, but ours was close to 11 due to heavy traffic in canal
Mike n Rachel in DC: Wow. Bring a good book…
Matt1: Never have I felt humidity like I have there
Mike n Rachel in DC: Wait. Aren’t you from Florida?
Matt1: On a cruise ship, so plenty to do…..with great view!
Matt1: YES!
Mike n Rachel in DC: And you thought Panama was humid? Merciful Jesus…
Rush: Okay…I am back.
Matt1: Panama and Columbia were like wet rags…..horrible humidity
Rush: Panama is more humid than Florida?
Matt1: Yep
Rush: YOW!
Matt1: I was drenched with in 30 minutes outside
Rush: The worst humidity I ever felt was in mobile Bay a long time ago. It was so thick I actually got sick.
Mike n Rachel in DC: We were just remarking on the same thing. Not at all like the dry, cool climate of DC. /s
Rush: Right!
Matt1: The avg high is 88 and the avg low 84
Rush: And it does not vary much I am sure.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Is that temperature or humidity?
Rush: 🙂
Matt1: I’d never go back, but an amazing trip…..bucket list
Rush: Yes.
Matt1: Humidity gets near 97% frequently
Rush: The ship was climate controlled, though, of course.
Matt1: That’s crazy
Matt1: Yes, but ferry is not and a/c isn’t there in Panama or Columbia…..We’re spoiled
Rush: I guess in that humidity, you drink the air more than breathe it!
Matt1: lol, yes
Rush: AH!
Rush: Well, whenever we watch “CC in Panama,” you can have something to relate to!
Rush: You will “feel” the humidity!
Matt1: I’m a cyclist here in FL, so I deal with it, but not prepared for it at that level there
Rush: No.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Next time we watch “Panama,” we can hop in the sauna to get the authentic feel.
Rush: Also, the low latitude makes the sun much more of a factor.
Rush: Yes, mike!
Matt1: I remember they were wiping sweat a lot in movie
Rush: Yes.

Len Freeman: commercial break music
Mike n Rachel in DC: So, folks, don’t forget Groves Bromo-Quinine tablets. Take them at the first sight of a cold!
Len Freeman: with 3-4 mins of music, clearly kept their script writing duties down to a minimum!
Mike n Rachel in DC: You don’t have time to waste being sick with a cold. You need SERIOUS medicine…
Rush: Back!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Lots of filler music.
Len Freeman: What we had was good though

Rush: Do they get driven out to the roads?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Deer taste better, CD.
Matt1: Ready here
LibraryJim: My wife and I went for a hike in the state forest Saturday, my son chided us for not wearing orange. Totally forgot it was hunting season, but we didn’t see another person on the trek.

Rush: “The Golden Eye”
LibraryJim: cued to title screen
godwinshelley2: It’s cowboy time

Mike n Rachel in DC: All set!
Rush: As always…OPENING TITLE
godwinshelley2: My husband insisted I get an orange kayak – in case it flipped over it would be seen
Cdirus: You may not see the hunters especially if they’re in a tree stand
LibraryJim: I put a few orange hats and bandanas in the trunk for next time, so they will be there
hounder: really need the orange during humting season.
Cdirus: Good idea GS
hounder: true cd

Cdirus: I fish
godwinshelley2: But I’m not up on this bow-hunting
LibraryJim: oh, boy! I missed this. but lately I’ve been exhausted on Monday nights. After a long holiday weekend, I’m feeling pretty good.

Rush: Yes…
Rush: We are in Chinatown…
Louise: Hey Rush, have you ever looked into these directors to see what else they have done?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Tailing a suspect…
LibraryJim: not doing a good job of it….
Rush: Not too much, Louise…but a fun idea.
angel & fox: Louise–i think the PROSECUTORS ran down that path ALREADY.

Mike n Rachel in DC: A precursor of the Chan Family?
angel & fox: Imp [bullet hole] rts
Rush: Of course!
Rush: 🙂
hounder: if you knew ou were being followed would you really linger in front of a big window?
Louise: “Bang!”
Rush: Gunshot!
Louise: True, hounder
LibraryJim: good thing he didn’t break any of the curios
angel & fox: MnR: My dad was a precursor! His language was ASTONISHING, like when he smacked his thumb with a hammer while trying to archive cell phones!
godwinshelley2: Weren’t there organizations for Chinese to belong to that were organized around familys – some of which may have been considered Tongs?
angel & fox: LJ: Gawd protect the CURIOS!!
Louise: Hitler reference
Rush: Yes, GS.
Rush: And, yes, Louise.
angel & fox: gs2: And probably USED tongs!
Rush: “Recent unpleasantness with Mr. Hitler.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Lazy-Y Dude Ranch!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Three Stooges gag
angel & fox: I LOVE this bit!!!!!!!!!
LibraryJim: can’t believe he did that.
Rush: (BOING!)
Rush: Lt. Mike.
godwinshelley2: Louise when you walk through SF Chinatown now, you still see the names of the benevolent societys on many doors along the smaller streets and allies
LibraryJim: shh, he’s incognito1
angel & fox: He reminds me of the Jerry Colonna “character”. NOBODY could REALLY have been that obnoxious, not EVEN Jerry Colonna
Mike n Rachel in DC: Posing as the lovable drunk
Rush: Angel: 🙂
angel & fox: He’s in COGNITO? He’s in THE POOL!
Rush: Bathing cap.
Louise: GS, that is cool. I was just studying benevolent societies in Los Angeles
Rush: Yes Louise?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Isn’t cognito Spanish for “pool?”
angel & fox: “Driscoll” looks like Jimmy Hoffa.
Rush: Mike: 🙂
Mike n Rachel in DC: Esta en cognito
angel & fox: Louise: any BENEFICENCE in Los Angeles?
godwinshelley2: If you look at the walking tour, I think there is at least one photo of a society off Waverly street.
Rush: Chan and company arrive.
angel & fox: SAFARI suit looks like precursor of LEISURE SUIT.
Mike n Rachel in DC: The dudes arrive…
Rush: Yes, Angel!
LibraryJim: I bet “POP” told them to ditch the outfits.
angel & fox: “SAFARI” was Chinese for “leisure”?
Rush: probably right, LJ!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Sa Fa-ri
Cdirus: Drunk guy reminds me of Mr Howell from Gilligan’s Island
Mike n Rachel in DC: Oh yeah…that’s right, CD
angel & fox: YES, cd!! THAT’S who i was trying to think of!!
hounder: yes cd
Cdirus: I think he wore a similar outfit
angel & fox: Lieutenant O’Brien’s Wardrobe by Harry Truman
Mike n Rachel in DC: The buck stops there
Rush: “Aren’t you going in the water?”

angel & fox: (cue “Jaws” theme)
Rush: Yes, Angel!
Mike n Rachel in DC: H2O
Rush: SPLASH!!!
angel & fox: Mr. Hoffa will Soon Be Seen in the trunk of a Mercury
Mike n Rachel in DC: Ah…just saw the shark
angel & fox: What’s the “time”? I’m at 15:00
Rush: If so, Angel, you have solved a great mystery.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Isn’t he buried under the Meadowlands stadium?
Rush: At least Lt. Mike got the finger prints!
angel & fox: Rush, i’ve looked at a lotta Mercurys.
Rush: You may just look into that right one!
angel & fox: BTW, Rush: i HOPE you weren’t offended by my reference to you in my Message Board post yesterday, as a “dictator”…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Oh Lord.
angel & fox: I KNOW i should have spoken of you as a GREAT dictator!
angel & fox: I wanna be sent to San Francisco for identification.
angel & fox: MORE CURIOS!!!!!!!!!!
Rush: Angel…there would be no argument on that score for my elder daughter!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Curios-er and curios-er
angel & fox: MnR:
Louise: angel, be careful or you will be sent to the corner…
Rush: As I noted earlier, HonoluluLOU is looking for material for this year’s CCF compilation!
angel & fox: Louise, my present remarks are datelined The Corner…
Louise: Tight clothes on that cowboy
Rush: Feel free to write on anything of interest relating to Charlie Chan or our Family!
Louise:
Rush: I need to really get going on mine!
angel & fox: Rush: i’m sure your daughter regards you as so many of some years still regard Stalin!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Imhotep!
Louise: I should do that Rush. What is the deadline?
angel & fox: Amenhotep to you too!
Rush: Angel…sometimes that is definitely so!
Mike n Rachel in DC: A benevolent dictator, I’m sure, Rush.
Rush: Chan works under cover.
Rush: He did so in “Panama.”
Rush: Also in “Charlie Chan’s Courage.”
angel & fox: Could our creative staff launch a new script (in response to OVERWHELMING poll result)—perhaps Charlie Chan Goes To The Kremlin…
angel & fox: Mmmmmmmm, OPIATES!
angel & fox: Looks like Bud Collyer.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Sounds like fun.
Rush: Definitely in the news of our time.
LibraryJim: Morphene? More? I haven’t had any phene yet.
angel & fox: Chair upholstered with fabric from loudly-coated ingenue in other recent film.
LibraryJim: cover blown
angel & fox: LJ—i’m ringing for the valet. Catherwood? CATHERWOOD!
Mike n Rachel in DC: That didn’t take long…
angel & fox: Ore? Or what?
angel & fox: Morphine gives Sudden Service.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Is being shot an an “accident?”
Rush: So, this gentleman played on the same high school baseball team as Lee.
Louise: The gold mine is a money laundromat?
angel & fox: It was with steel baseballs.
Rush: Good for building muscles, Angel!
Rush: Hard on bats, though!
angel & fox: “He’s still unconscious”: she’s so described her father to attractive boys since she was 12.
Louise: I want a pony!
Rush: “Talbot Bartlett”
angel & fox: SteeeeeeeeeeRIKE!—CLONG!
Rush: yes, Louise!
hounder: ….
LibraryJim: boy, can he keep a secret? Nope!
angel & fox: Spelled backward: tteltraB toblaT. Hmm. Sounds Russian.
Louise: I wanted to be a cowgirl when I was growing up. Penn on Sky King was my model.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Or satanic, Angel
Louise: Penny
angel & fox: Three Petes to the wind.
Rush: Angel…I cannot keep up with you tonight!
angel & fox: A clean—OOF! A LADY is present!
LibraryJim: The old prospector. Staple of Hollywood westerns.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Nice burro
Rush: As BB stated earlier: “You GONE!”
Louise: Donkey
angel & fox: I’m a little juked, i do believe! Think i’ll creep over on the paws that refreshes, to the concessions. Maybe concede!
Rush: In 1948, I believe gold was valued at $35 per ounce.
LibraryJim: Make a clean breast of it. How about Miss Manning over there? Nope, her breasts stay covered.
LibraryJim: oops, is that too risqué?
LibraryJim: .
Mike n Rachel in DC: Rachel is laughing.
LibraryJim:
Mike n Rachel in DC: But we might lose our G rating…
Rush: If Rachel is laughing…we can let it pass…!
Mike n Rachel in DC: BB needs to get back into his pinata costume.
Rush: 🙂
LibraryJim: I guess I’ve been hanging out with the wrong crowds.
LibraryJim:
Rush: 😉
Mike n Rachel in DC: No worries, LJ. The Chan clan will save you.
Rush: Yes.
Rush: Nice logic by BB.
Mike n Rachel in DC: He ain’t goin’ nowhere
Rush: Good indication of “disceacement.”
Louise: ECHO ECHO!
Rush: Did we get a can?
Matt1:
Rush: That is SOME echo!
Rush: TYSM, Matt…
Louise: That’s a tiny or quiet can, Matt
Matt1:
Mike n Rachel in DC: …
Rush: The prospector.
Rush: An echo even for the can!
Mike n Rachel in DC: First-rate effects department here…
Rush: 🙂
LibraryJim: lol
angel & fox: i’d WONDERED about the FONT SIZEindicator!
angel & fox: NOBODY was stigmatized, in those wild & woolly days!
Mike n Rachel in DC: If he wants to hide behind that tree, he’ll have to lose 20 lbs.
Rush: Did Lt. Mike think to make his breath smell of alcohol?
Rush: True, Mike!
angel & fox: RUSH, you were READING MY MIND!
angel & fox: NOT, i hope, checking my BREATH!
Rush: Please consider investing in a set of “The New Adventures of Charlie Chan” for future showings!
angel & fox: Actually Fox & me are teetotalers.
Rush: There are some really nice episodes that rarely if ever show up online.
angel & fox: She’s got a balcony you could do CHECKERS on.
angel & fox: That CHAIR speaks mutely of the MYSTERIOUSLY NO-LONGER-PRESENT Ingenue.
Rush: And, the online availability is always in question, anyway!
Rush: I believe that some of us have the series already.
angel & fox: Even for PLAID CHAIRS?
Mike n Rachel in DC: The coverlet has its own sinister story to tell as well…
LibraryJim has left this room
Rush: Yes, Angel!
Rush: Actually, it looked a lot like a table cloth!
angel & fox: Hello, Amazon? I want to order a plaid chair. A hundred plaid chairs. My secretary is—missing.
Rush: 🙂
LibraryJim has joined this room
angel & fox: I’d rather pay a visit to the Curio room.
Rush: WB, LJ!
angel & fox: Welcome back, cd!!
LibraryJim: I forgot about the time-out in the room
Mike n Rachel in DC: I think there’s an upcharge for that, Angel
Rush: Yes, LJ.
angel & fox: There’s an upcharge for EVERYTHING, innit?
Cdirus: I don’t think I went anywhere angel?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Curse of the Mummy
Rush: 🙂
angel & fox: Since i first saw this, i wait every moment for “Sister” Theresa to pull her gat.
angel & fox: Was Mother Theresa REALLY her mother?
angel & fox: Maybe those were HER shoes.
Rush: Chan will have nun of that.
Louise: Opiates!
LibraryJim: high heels on a nun? Hope she doesn’t make a habit out of that.
Rush: (Sorry, Angel!)
Louise: Nice shoes for a nun
Rush: (Could not resist!)
angel & fox: LJ
Mike n Rachel in DC: High heels on nun. And sedating someone in a coma?
Rush: Sylish nun.
angel & fox: Nun better!
Rush: 🙂
angel & fox: I wouldn’t wanna be in her shoes.
Rush: OUCH! But funny….
Louise: Pun city tonight
Mike n Rachel in DC: Careful, Lt. Mike
Rush: Indeed!
godwinshelley2: The quilt on the bed when Mike first walked in looks rather raggedly sewn
angel & fox: John Lindsay ran for President saying “New York Is Pun City”.
Rush: That prospector was pretty obvious leaving a ladder going from the shack into the mine!
Rush: And, it seems to be a pretty shallow mine!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yeah. But he lost the sign that said “Secret Entrance”
Rush: 🙂

Rush: 🙂
angel & fox: I don’t like the look of that CHAIR. OOF!!
Rush: That crossed my mind, too, Angel…
Rush: “Whatever happened to yellin’ and screamin’?”
LibraryJim: yeah, with those big flashlights, the bad guys will never see them coming.
