Mike n Rachel in DC: Now the epicaly lengthy foreword
Mike n Rachel in DC: How will they escape?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Pop!
Mike n Rachel in DC: The cops are chasing the Hornet?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Looks like the Hornet is playing possum

Mike n Rachel in DC: 🙂
Cdirus: How did that motorcycle get up there?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Honest, it was an accident!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Really? No accident?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Sure, boss…whatever you say. One time bomb, coming right up.

Mike n Rachel in DC: (delayed flight)

Mike n Rachel in DC: Let me guess…Paul Gray?
Godwinshelley2: Hey don’t you know smoking can kill you …. oh … never mind
Godwinshelley2: That man is skinny
Godwinshelley2: I think this movie has some of the ugliest fur coats
Phil: I’m betting rabbit
Godwinshelley2: That one is only partly fur
Mike n Rachel in DC: My dissertation will explain everything
Godwinshelley2: What would that be saying in our dissertation
Dona: I agree GS
Godwinshelley2: Guess the depression is still being felt –
fredsmom: Was this Ray Millands first motion picture?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Partially furred coat…
Phil: I retract my rabbit theory.
Phil: She’s lookin a bit wobbly
Dona: the drama
Godwinshelley2: imdb has Ray Milland in some silent films
Mike n Rachel in DC: Looks like RM started in films around 1930, FM…he was pretty established by this one
Godwinshelley2: starting in 1928
Mike n Rachel in DC: Thanks, GS
Godwinshelley2: It would be a pretty important part for a newbi
Mike n Rachel in DC: The hay’d was almost severed…
Godwinshelley2: He’s in a Jimmy Cagney film in 1931 called Blonde Crazy and a George Arliss 1932 film Man Who Played God
fredsmom: no, I googled-he had earlier parts in 30’s
Mike n Rachel in DC: Charlie enters stealthily
Mike n Rachel in DC: …Charlie surprising people is a theme in this one
Godwinshelley2: I was trying to find early film folks may have seen
Dona: Charlie to save the day
hounder: here comes the power
Mike n Rachel in DC: He’s an inspector in this one. Later Lt.
Godwinshelley2: Was the Barstow story one of the lost Chan films
fredsmom: I do remember Girl crazy
Dona: Elvis Presley?
Godwinshelley2: I have grown fond of George Arliss films lately
Godwinshelley2: Dona – no the 1931 Girl Crazy with Jimmy Cagney
Phil: Hey Charlie careful how you touch that..
Dona: I’ll have to look for that one
Mike n Rachel in DC: Phil…could be a little icky…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Geroge Arliss, GS? Favorites?
Phil: Let’s see, how can we work the coronavirus into tonight’s movie?
Dona: family makes him happy
fredsmom: The Chan clan
Godwinshelley2: George Arliss did some films based on Earl Derr Biggers books
Mike n Rachel in DC: *points at youngest child*. “Now where did THAT one come from?”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Charlie can’t bear not to help…
Godwinshelley2: If you get a chance to see “The Millionare” – is a Biggers story
hounder: charlie’s susceptible to a women’s stress
Mike n Rachel in DC: Will try to find it.
Godwinshelley2: occasionally shows on TCM
Godwinshelley2: He did a silent version and then remake as a talkie
Mike n Rachel in DC: Three days!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Fast math, Charlie
Dona: Lie you fool
Mike n Rachel in DC: nononono
Phil: Man, she just about tears this door off!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hey! I paid $2.00 for that ring!
Phil: That’s a big rock
Mike n Rachel in DC: The Idle Rich
Godwinshelley2: Charlie is a sucker for reuniting young lovers – makes you wonder what he was like when he was wooing his wife
Cdirus: That’s quite a country house
Godwinshelley2: Yes Mike = it’s a good one
Mike n Rachel in DC: Well GS they have 13 children…must be pretty good at it, yes?
Godwinshelley2: I like those – rich guy tries to live like a regular guy stories
Phil: I see Matt’s not here. I volunteer for can duties.
Mike n Rachel in DC: You’re hired, Phil.
Godwinshelley2: The Devil and Miss Jones – is another film along those lines
Mike n Rachel in DC: No wonder he’s drunk. I’d get drunk if my name were Bunny too.
hounder: you decided? who are you to decide for me?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Glad to see the artist survived after all
Phil: Perhaps it’s short for Honey Bunny?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Rachel has definitely vetoed Bunny in any form. 🙂
Godwinshelley2: I’m disappointed – no fur on this coat
Mike n Rachel in DC: We call it the PETA coat
Godwinshelley2: Bunny Bennigan was a famous band leader
fredsmom: me too, gws
Godwinshelley2: But the collar tries SO HARD on that coat
Mike n Rachel in DC: The West Woom?
Phil: That’s an environmentally concious rich guy. He turns off the light.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Is that were Elmer Fudd goes to the bathroom?
Godwinshelley2: ahhhh –
Phil: lol m&r
Mike n Rachel in DC: Important scene there…
Godwinshelley2: Purdue’s Student Union has windows like those gothic one
Mike n Rachel in DC: This maid is creepy
Godwinshelley2: It is startling to see someone crawling in your window if you don’t know them
Mike n Rachel in DC: Would NOT trust her with that knife
Phil: I like rooms with low ceilings. Very cozy.
fredsmom: BEAUTIFUL WINDOWS
Mike n Rachel in DC: That’s for sure, GS
Mike n Rachel in DC: But this gal is barmy
hounder: lighting face from below gives strange shadows
Dona: Yes M&R
Godwinshelley2: She has taken training from Una O’Connor
Mike n Rachel in DC: THAT’S who she reminds me of!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Epic screaming scenes in Invisible Man
fredsmom: love una oconnor as well
Mike n Rachel in DC: Nice spooky lighting
Godwinshelley2: Saw merit badges for “Adulting” on facebook – things like “Minded my own business” and “put on pants”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Adulting?
Godwinshelley2: instead of being a good scout – being a good adult
Godwinshelley2: or approximating behavior as a good adult
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hm.
Dona: i have now words
Dona: no words
hounder: me either dona
Dona: i also can’t seem to type
hounder: when did adult become a verb?
Godwinshelley2: ugh another partial fur coat
Mike n Rachel in DC: I would love to see what skills I need to possess in order to adult properly.
Godwinshelley2: take notes for the dissertation
Mike n Rachel in DC: This looks like a nun’s habit
Dona: and it’s uglier than the last one
Phil: I’ve rarely seen a stable floor that clean
Mike n Rachel in DC: OK. Just googled “adulting.” It’s either scary or sad, depending on how you look at it.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Phil, this guy takes his job seriously.
Dona: probably both M&r
Mike n Rachel in DC: Berkeley now offers a class for college credit in “adulting”
Godwinshelley2: More fur coats
Phil: Did you guys notice I didn’t make my usual “This guy doesn’t know the difference between a horse and a cow” joke?
Dona: Berkeley would
Mike n Rachel in DC: this is only a re-enactment can scene
hounder: sadly many kids today need such a class
Mike n Rachel in DC: Phil. 🙂
Phil: Yes, this scene did not require a can
Dona: yes that is sad
angel & fox has joined this room
Mike n Rachel in DC: The furs are multiplying. This movie is going to need a full chapter.

Dona: Hi Angel
Mike n Rachel in DC: Which is better…
Cdirus: Hi angel!
Phil: Hi Angel
fredsmom: Hi Angel
angel & fox: A big hi to all–hiya cd!!—but especialmente to Fred’s Mom!!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Sounds like Brexit
angel & fox: Foxit, sez Fox.
Godwinshelley2: Hi Angel
fredsmom: TY!
Godwinshelley2: That actor was in Behind that Curtain as the blackmailer I think
Phil: I think Charlie oughta ask the horse. Or the cow. Whichever.
Mike n Rachel in DC: He’s John Rogers…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Moo.
angel & fox: The horse of course of course.
Mike n Rachel in DC: He’s a ‘fraidy (Hell) cat.
angel & fox: Did somebody just fart? Oh, YOU, Elsie!
fredsmom: agree with Phil
Mike n Rachel in DC: Easy girl…
Phil: Oh boy here it comes.
Godwinshelley2: nice camera work
Mike n Rachel in DC: Clue!
angel & fox: I heard Elmer & Elsie weren’t legally wed.
Mike n Rachel in DC: As long as they were contented, Angel…
hounder: that maid wouldn’t have lasted long in a real ouse
Phil: There’s some danged poor acting going on here.
Dona: lol
angel & fox: That they SURELY were, M/R! A herd of calves, i heard. You heard of calves, right?
Phil: Cue the can <tin can>
fredsmom: Haha to Angel and Fox and Mike n Rachael
hounder: charlie understands more than you think
angel & fox: Phil: the Kings’s Troupe this is NOT.
Phil: Boy that was fun.
angel & fox: Charlie knows more than i forgot, i remember somebody saying; i forget who.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Amazingly bloodless…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Mr. Chang
Mike n Rachel in DC: No, conclusions jump at me
Mike n Rachel in DC: Maybe he had an unusually flexible wrist?
Phil: Maybe he was a contortionist
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yoga every morning
Mike n Rachel in DC: Cleansing breaths, Alice…
angel & fox: What’s the “time”?
Godwinshelley2: 44:15
Phil: 44:20
Phil: 44:35
Godwinshelley2: 44:30
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hope is not gone!
Phil: 45
Mike n Rachel in DC: Good way of getting rid of her for a while, Charlie
angel & fox: There’s ALWAYS so little time. MORE little allatime.
Mike n Rachel in DC: *cough*
angel & fox: I’m calmer just having her jacket outta my sight, & on the heather & heath ledger.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hunt business?
angel & fox: Chasing fox?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Item 1: Order replacement fox
angel & fox: Not US!!!
Phil: It’s now wonder these people are all dead what with the way they all smoked.
Phil: no wonder
Dona: fur
Mike n Rachel in DC: Angel, Fox may find the next few scenes a bit disturbing.
fredsmom: That’s a fur collar
Phil: GEES LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT CATERPILLAR
Rush2 has joined this room
Godwinshelley2: Another partial fur coat
Mike n Rachel in DC: That’s a good-sized animal, FM
Godwinshelley2: Hello Rush
angel & fox: NOTHING has anything to do with the army. Army has to do with foxes. Keeping foxes from nothing. Keeping nothing from foxes. That’
Dona: Hi Rush!!!
Rush2: Hi…made it back.
fredsmom: Agreed
Cdirus: she has a sheep on her shoulders
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hey everyone! Act normal. Dad’s here!
hounder: wb rush
Rush2: 🙂
angel & fox: That;s why we am incognito.
Dona: LOL
angel & fox: Calling Detective Einstein!
Rush2: I can’t say how “normal” I am…but, TYSM…!
Cdirus: Hi Rush!
fredsmom: Hi Rush!
Rush2: Hi, FM!
Phil: Paul’s having a meltdown. Hi Rush!
Rush2: And all…!
Rush2: I am so happy I could stop in.
Cdirus: What ever it was, I didn’t do it.
angel & fox: R2!! Pull up a cold, hard bench!
Godwinshelley2: Enjoying the Mid-West?
Dona: We are too.
Mike n Rachel in DC: We are too. On our BEST behavior.
Rush2: I guess that’s the reason our flight happened the way it did…or didn’t.
Godwinshelley2: We weren’t doing anything wrong – honest!!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Honest.
angel & fox: Bursar & purser: who outranks?
Rush2: Greetings from Moline, Ill.
Phil: Some more of that fine British acting.
angel & fox: Mo’, Moline, MO’!!
Rush2: LOVING it, GS!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Greetings! Are you a homeowner now, Rush?
Cdirus: Hey, only a couple of states over
Godwinshelley2: Big change in weather conditions from CA
Rush2: We signed the papers on our home this morning.,
angel & fox: More of those fine British fireplaces.
Rush2: Bettendorf, Ia.
Godwinshelley2: Congrats! Are you now owner of two houses?
Rush2: For a while.
Dona: You are moving Rush?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Bettendorf LA?
Godwinshelley2: IA
Rush2: We will hopefully be able to rent it out for about a year till we are ready to move.
Cdirus: Congrats!
Godwinshelley2: More partial fur clothing
Rush2: Thank you.
Dona: Yes Congratulations Rush!
Rush2: It has actually been a LONG time in coming.
Godwinshelley2: Moving slow is so much better than rushing
angel & fox: Bettendorf. Wasn’t that the name of Bette Davis’s ill-fated hotel venture with the retired Kaiser’s General? Lost his monocle when stereo came in?
Mike n Rachel in DC: The Bettendorf website has the “State of the City” address posted now, Rush. 🙂
Phil: Where are you eventually moving to Rush?
Rush2: Way back in 1992 when we first passed through this area we loved it.
Godwinshelley2: How nice
Rush2: The Quad City area of Iowa/Illinois.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Ah. So you are not native Californians?
angel & fox: Rush, may you be as happy in your new home as i am in mine!
Mike n Rachel in DC: OH NO! Dart!
Rush2: Our new home is in the town of Bettendorf.
Godwinshelley2: So close to Chicago?
Phil: Killers always wear top hats.
Rush2: TYSM, Angel…
angel & fox: Mine even has a DEN, you can imagine who likes THAT!
Rush2: Yes, GS.
Rush2: Within reach of Chigago.
angel & fox: Not “The Bell Jar” again.
Godwinshelley2: How nice
Mike n Rachel in DC: That is one hell of a dart
angel & fox: Just make sure Chicago can
Rush2: So, how’s “london” tonight?
angel & fox: can’t reach BACK.
Phil: Aerodynamically that dart makes no sense.
angel & fox: London? Swinging!
Rush2: AH! The dart.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Looks like Flash Gordon’s rocket ship
Phil: Yes it does M
Rush2: Well, Angel, it DOES swing…like a pendulum do…
Dona: That what it looks like
Rush2: Yes, Mike/Rachel.
angel & fox: Rush, TOO-SHAY!!
Godwinshelley2: We are watching for Fur clothing for our Dissertation on Women and Furs in the Chan Universe
Rush2: Angel: 🙂
angel & fox: Be careful where you point that thing, Charlie!
Godwinshelley2: Now would we call that mustach as part of the fur unverse
Rush2: Thacker’s?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes Rush
Godwinshelley2: The british police instpector
angel & fox: The fur universe looks fuzzy to the naked—well, to the naked.
fredsmom: Congratulations to you and your family Rush!
Godwinshelley2: Welcome to the midwest
Mike n Rachel in DC: We’re calling it the Furverse, Angel
Godwinshelley2: And get use to the Lake-Effect-Snows
Rush2: I am afraid to try to get the online movie, as this computer (at the hotel) doesn’t seem to allow more than a window at a time.
angel & fox: Mister CHANG…
Mike n Rachel in DC: We’re about to the “if you want wild bird to sing” line, Rush… 😉
Godwinshelley2: My husband says you should familiarize yourself with tornado protocol
angel & fox: MnR, “Furverse” is getting votes here. We think it’ll catch on.
Mike n Rachel in DC: …and buy a snow shovel. 😉
Phil: No. Buy a snow BLOWER.
Mike n Rachel in DC: We thought Fox might like that one
Godwinshelley2: Buy a couple snow shovels – that’s how you entertain your kids in the winter
Rush2: Yes, GS…they are seemingly rare in the area, but, yes.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Children or snow shovels?
Godwinshelley2: It only takes ONE
angel & fox: Tornado protocol: is that the one made with turmeric marinade for artichoje hearts, chicken fingers, pigs’ feet & mascara?
Rush2: I try not to say much about that to Marie!
Rush2: Angel: 🙂
Godwinshelley2: They are rare – and you go to the southwest corner if you don’t have an inner room
Mike n Rachel in DC: OH. I thought the Tornado Protocol had tequila in it…
angel & fox: Something awful DID happen: ride-to-hounds came back in style for the Fall of ’37.
fredsmom: Are yall from Ca Rush?
Godwinshelley2: crack your windows – so the house won’t implode
Rush2: Yes…born and raised.
Dona: Me too Rush
Rush2: Southern California all my life.
angel & fox: MnR: That’s the Tornado Vortex. It staves off implosion.
Rush2: Yes, Dona.
fredsmom: Sounds like a wonderful new chapter for you and yours!
Rush2: We just can’t afford the rising costs.
Rush2: Yes…thank you, FM.
Dona: I feel the same
Mike n Rachel in DC: “Took up fox hunting?”
angel & fox: General Humph-humph looks like he was awakened just for this scene.
Rush2: EVERYONE has been VERY kind to us.
angel & fox: AGAIN with the fox-hunting!
angel & fox: A queer chap. Oh, PLEASE.
Rush2: Yes, Angel…and FOX….
Mike n Rachel in DC: But apparently the foxes got him first. Score one for the good guys…er…foxes
Rush2: 🙂
angel & fox: A wild scheme. Hmm.
Godwinshelley2: silencing war planes – an Hogan’s Heros plot also
angel & fox: I LOVE the frames on the walls!
Mike n Rachel in DC: A silent plane? It’s called a glider?
angel & fox: GS–really? I knew NOTHING!!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Pam, dear.
Rush2: M/R: 🙂
Godwinshelley2: I’m disappointed no fur on her clothing in this scene
Mike n Rachel in DC: Oh Pam! Oh Neil!
angel & fox: She got that outfit for a song.
Mike n Rachel in DC: How can there be a love scene without fur?
Phil: He is SUCH a sleaze
Mike n Rachel in DC: He’s an attorney, Phil…
angel & fox: Ain’t got time to take a fast train.
Phil: shaking my head
angel & fox: AGAIN with the foxes!!!
Rush2: The Box Tops…1967?
Godwinshelley2: Just TELL what you know – other wise you are courting danger
Mike n Rachel in DC: 120?
angel & fox: Rush, you’ve never missed yet!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Go, baby go
Rush2: I lived it…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Nearly find ancestors. How do you think the fox feels, Charlie?
fredsmom: poor fox
Rush2: The Doors played at my high school….
Rush2: The Strawberry Alarm Clock, too…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Very cool, Rush.
Phil: But did you see The Doors?
Rush2: Yes.
