05-01 18:38
Mike n Rachel in DC:
We’re both here…munching tacos at the moment

05-01 18:38
Matt:
Mucho taco’s!

05-01 18:38

That’s the perfect “munch-on” food!

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
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Tah-ko

05-01 18:42

05-01 18:42
Mike n Rachel in DC:

05-01 18:42
Rush:
Yep!

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
Rush:
Oh, YES!

05-01 18:44
Matt:
Whenever I see a “viewer” in the chat, I always feel I need to be on my best behavior

However, i see one on the schedule that will eventually come up.

05-01 18:47
Rush:
Yes, Matt?
Speaking of which…are we ready for the first extra?

Rush:


05-01 18:52
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Hey. That was expensive!

05-01 18:52

I suspect that all of the gold rings have already been “mined” from that river!

05-01 18:52
Matt:
I want to mine that river

05-01 18:52
Rush:


05-01 18:52

05-01 18:53
Matt:
Exactly, Mike!
What is this place?

05-01 18:53

That is the town where “Tombstone” drives to pick up a suspect tonight.

05-01 18:53
Matt:
Ah

05-01 18:54

Saw a rodeo that night.

05-01 18:56
Matt:
Looks a bit deserted….see what I did there 🙂

05-01 18:56
Rush:


05-01 18:57
Matt:
I’ll take $3.24

05-01 18:57
Rush:
That’s about what we pay here.
Presently, anyway….

05-01 18:57
Matt:
We’re at 3.69

05-01 18:58
Rush:
He startled the bikers.

05-01 18:58
Matt:
lol

05-01 18:59
Rush:
Sounds like he’s driving a diesel.

05-01 19:00
Rush:
He passed the “infamous” Clown Motel.
And there we have it.
Tonopah!

05-01 19:01

05-01 19:01
Matt:

Rush:

It can get hot there, yes!

05-01 19:02

05-01 19:02
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Yes…always interesting to see the locales in real life. Thanks Rush!

05-01 19:02
Rush:
There were other Tonolah clips, but they were long and very touristy!
(Tonopah)

05-01 19:03
Matt:
Clown Motel would freak a few people out

05-01 19:03
Rush:

05-01 19:03
Matt:
Hello Hounder!

05-01 19:03
Rush:

05-01 19:03
Mike n Rachel in DC:

Mike n Rachel in DC:
It looks bad, but it’s got a higher AAA rating than the Bates Motel, so there’s that…

05-01 19:08

Yes, it should edge out the Bates Motel.

05-01 19:08

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:
