mda19083: hello sb

Rush: Good evening to YOU!

Elron: Rush do you think we might be able to do The House without a Key? It was the only Chan movie that didn’t have his name in it. from 1926.

mda19083: greetings rush

sarabell2: OK, I just took a wet paintbrush to mine with soapy water. Worked great

sarabell2: Elron, it that a silent?

Rush: If only we had it available to us, Elron!

Rush: It was made into a silent serial and is now lost.

Rush: Yes, SB.

mda19083: brush on the soapy water – on the pizza or the keyboard

Elron: Well Rush I will search heaven and earth to find a copy. I thought I seen one somewhere.

Rush: Be careful with water and keyboards!

Rush: ðŸ™‚

sarabell2: I was sloppy and got it on both. I used air cleaners, q tips, nothing worked, but this did. Just my redneck ways.

sarabell2: Oh it was damp, not wet.

Elron: Rush keyboards love water. You get interesting typing at that point. lol

Rush: It was the basis for “Charlie Chan’s Greatest case,” which is also lost.
