05-01 18:39

Mike n Rachel in DC:

We keep talking about doing some Chinese with Chan but it hasn’t happened yet…

05-01 18:39

Matt:

I haven’t either, hmmmm

05-01 18:39

Rush:

Around 1990, Marie and I went to DC for a wedding.  We stopped at a new Taco Bell for lunch there, and it was funny to see that each item on the menu had phonetic pronunciation with it!

05-01 18:40

Mike n Rachel in DC:

LOL…we’re a multi-cultural area, Rush 

Have to help out the Japanese tourists, I guess

05-01 18:40

Rush:

But, it seems that back then some things were pretty new to the general public!

05-01 18:41

Mike n Rachel in DC:

I bet.

05-01 18:41

Rush:

Maybe!

We got a little laugh out of it.

05-01 18:41

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Our neighborhood has a lot of Salvadoran folks…great central and South American food now.

05-01 18:41

Rush:

Just a chuckle, anyway!

Sounds great, Matt.

05-01 18:41

05-01 18:42

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Back in the days of Chan on Key Video VHS, we used to get take out Chinese and pop in a Chan tape.  Heaven.

05-01 18:43

Rush:

Ah….indeed!

Perfect!

AND, sometimes AMC would hold a Chan Marathon!

05-01 18:43

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Our Chan introduction was the neighborhood video rental store (remember those?) and Key Video Chans

05-01 18:43

05-01 19:23

Rush:

Chan is very busy…dying easter eggs!

05-01 19:24

Mike n Rachel in DC:

so the “aviators” headline didn’t change between papers…

Charlie.  There shouldn’t be any trouble getting a rabbit to reproduce…

05-01 19:24

Rush:

We saw Number One Grandchild’s birth last week.

05-01 19:24

Phil:

So..if he’s working on Easter eggs it suggests it’s around Easter time

05-01 19:24

Rush:

Yes.  And we will see that Jimmy is about to take off on his Spring Break.

05-01 19:24

Phil:

Boy Charlie you got that one right.

05-01 19:25

Mike n Rachel in DC:

sleuthing…so how old with #1 grandson have to be to make an Easter egg relevant?

05-01 19:25

Rush:

Yes, Phil!

USC….

05-01 19:26

Mike n Rachel in DC:

I wonder if spring break ever was around Easter…

05-01 19:27

Dona:

It was when I was in school

05-01 19:27

Rush:

We see how good deeds can often not go unpunished…!

Stunt man there!

05-01 19:28

Rush:

And that was NOT an easy one!

A lot of bared skin exposed to the fall!

05-01 19:28

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Yes, Dona.  It usually lines up in public schools, but university spring breaks are usually in early-mid March

Tough way to make $75 (or whatever he got paid), Rush

05-01 19:29

Rush:

“Thank you so much!”

Hello…DONA!

05-01 19:29

Dona:

Yes, my grandchildren have spring break and they are never the same

05-01 19:29
