hounder has joined this room

Matt1: Hello Hounder!

Rush: hello, Hounder!

Rush: I hope that the both of you are doing well this evening.

hounder: I almost let today get away from me again. but tada. i made it on time.

Rush: Happy!

Matt1: I’ve become the savvy shopper myself, via the internet though 

Rush: We have done our share of Internet shopping, too!

hounder: Hi matt and rush. I’m having a pretty good week.

Rush: I needed to get the***s we are printing out things for our at-home teaching!

Matt1: Never in my life have I’ve done so much online, since this COVID

angel has joined this room

Rush: I don’t know what I typed above!

hounder: I even went to Sams club and the grocery store last week. very targeted shopping and in and out.

Matt1: Beaches and parks opening here Hounder,,,,Getting better

Rush: It should have read INK.

Rush: Hello, ANGEL!

Mike n Rachel in DC has joined this room

Mike n Rachel in DC: Hello All!

Rush: AND….Mike and Rachel!

Matt1: Hello Angel and M & R!

hounder: here as well. the beaches are down to just social distancing. and restaurants cn open at 25%

hounder: hi angel

hounder: but i plan to still be very cautious.

Rush: The serial segment is rather short tonight, so we can start it at about 15 before the hour.

Matt1: Us too…..beaches looked very good today w/ crowds

Mike n Rachel in DC: Well the virus doesn’t know that it’s supposed to be safe now…

Mike n Rachel in DC: No one informed them about that…

angel: Fox is WITH ME! EVERY TIME i try to enter as A&F, it says WE are ALREADY HERE, & won’t let us enter. Next week we will have new monikers entirely; i am thinking to be here as Wendell Willkie, Fox fancies Louella Parsons (as WHO DOESN’T?)

Matt1: Mine looks like it starts at the 42:08 mark?

Rush: Hounder, I would think that your caution would be a ood idea as you are working so closely with your mother.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Hm. Ours starts @ 0:00…

angel: MATT—are you speaking whereof i’m thinking, namely Where is Lost Jungle Part 4?

Rush: We should start at the 0:00 mark.

hounder: i know our local people are being very careful with distancing to the beaches don’t get closed again

Matt1: Hmmm

Rush: Make sure you are using the one at the link above.

angel: Rush, on YouTube i find only Parts 1, 2 & 3.

hounder: mine shows 42.09 mark from your link?

Rush: On Youtube it is called “Part 2.”

hounder: chapter 8?

Rush: Let me see…

angel: So Part 2. Start time is_______?

Matt1: That’s where the link sets it

Rush: That’s strange!

Rush: Please back it up to the very start.

Mike n Rachel in DC: OH. Right…you have to “rewind.”

Rush: That will correspond to Chapter 5.

Matt1: 42:08 of 54:38

Matt1: We’ll see!

angel: Got it. Fire Jet Torture?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Matt…note that the red line is most of the way through the video…go back to the beginning.

Rush: Chapter EIGHT starts at 42:10.

Mike n Rachel in DC: But…but…we’re watching Chapter 5 tonight, right?

hounder: ok sso if i rewind i see people on the street?

angel: I am dizzy with excitement. I am dizzy without excitement too.

Rush: Yes…Chapter FIVE tonight.

hounder: lol@ angel

Rush: Starts at 0:00.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Need something to liven things up. 🙂

angel: hounder, ONLY if you rewind do you see people on the street. Stay 6 feet away.

Rush: I am just plain DIZZY.

angel: That’s why we love you, Rush. Our DIZZY, benevolent dictator. Huzzah!!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Little did we know that all of these years with the Chan clan would prepare us for COVID-19 “do everything online” life!

Rush: 🙂

Rush: (TYSM>>>?)

Mike n Rachel in DC: Hail, Rush!

Rush: Yes, Mike.

Mike n Rachel in DC: *bows*

angel: Hi MnR!!

Mike n Rachel in DC: *Rachel curtsies*

Rush: And a bow to rachel…

Matt1: Matt still scratching head over clip

Mike n Rachel in DC: *winks at Rush*

angel: *applause wells up from orchestra, spills down from balcony, traps criminals*

Rush: She’s the “Queen of our Virtual Screen…”

angel: Good evening, Mr. First Nighter!

angel: That she is. Rachel, you can sit on my phone books.

Rush: You have phone books, Angel!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Oooh. You still have phone books?

Rush: COLLECTIBLES!

Rush: 🙂

Mike n Rachel in DC: Probably worth millions by now

Rush: Indeed!

angel: Rush, i have EVERYTHING! I have a Louis XVI telephone that he NEVER HUNG UP when he was so rudely interrupted. I’m connected to 1791!!

Mike n Rachel in DC: I wonder if Siri would be jealous if she saw a phone book…

Rush: So…is everyone “cued” to the 0:00 mark for tonight’s serial?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Rodger.

Matt1: Zero it is!

hounder: yessir

Rush: He was “disconnected,” I believe…

Mike n Rachel in DC: Only from his head…

Rush: Yes.

angel: Millions of francs, about 8 cents after bank charge for exchange of aged specie. I love the word specie. I save old telephone books in hope of hock, then YOIKS, off to my fiduciary!

Rush: Two minutes…

Rush: Our episode lasts only 10 minutes tonight…

Rush: 90 seconds…

Mike n Rachel in DC: Going for quality instead of quantity…

Rush: 60 seconds…

Rush: Hopefully, Mike!

angel: I listened while motoring South to North this weekend, with a pal, to Sorry Wrong Number. He’d never heard anything like it. Tell it to LOuis, i shoulda said.

Rush: 40 seconds…

Rush: 30 seconds…

Rush: 25…

Rush: 20…

Rush: 15…

Rush: 10…

Mike n Rachel in DC: *fastens seat belt*

Mike n Rachel in DC: Poor job of social distancing

Mike n Rachel in DC: No masks…

Rush: Keye Luke…fourth-billed…

angel: Her’s funny.

Rush: 🙂

Mike n Rachel in DC: Casablanca-wannabe music

Rush: Yes.

angel: Geoffrey!! Must be G-14. BINGO!!

hounder: i notice the resemblence

Mike n Rachel in DC: Same commencement music for the good ol’ UPF

Rush: Here we are in the UN “Bored Room.”

angel: Only guys in the bay without sequined headdresses.

angel: Tetragene?

hounder: didn’t we see this last week?

Rush: angel…this was 1946, remember!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Bowanite?

Matt1: This looks familar

angel: Detectives overbored!!

Rush: It seems that sever chapters open with the UN members.

hounder: o ok.

angel: Rush, it’s ALWAYS 1946 where i am. That’s how i got these phone books!

Rush: 🙂

Mike n Rachel in DC: Jeez. I thought the cop was going to kiss him.

Rush: I see, Angel!

hounder: i was having a deja vu moment

angel: I think he kinda hoped the cop would buss him.

Rush: Those can be interesting, Hounder!

Rush: The lion pit.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Leftover from last week?

angel: I’m at 46:10. Yes?

Matt1: This wasn’t last week?

Rush: 4:25.

angel: That was now. This is then.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Unless this is a recap, he’s climbing over the same lion pit again…

Rush: Angel…you need to go back to the 4:55 mark…

hounder: but i’m pretty sure we watched this part last week. i remember the lions

angel: Are our guys talking about hieroglyphics? Mr. London?

Rush: You are in “Chapter 8” Angel.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Keye Luke goes native!

Rush: yes, Mike!

angel: Som now it’s some babe talking with those two hot guys?

Rush: Light of Asia Casino.

Rush: 6:00

angel: Gotcha. Placing my bets.

Rush: All right!

angel: Beets. Placing my beets.’

angel: Sir Eric sounds like a rotter. Damn.

Rush: !!!

angel: You’ve got something going on when your ancient city is fabled. Usually you gotta cross some palms to do that.

angel: That’s what they call a stale socialite. Doomed, would all agree?

Rush: The background music is “interesting.”

Mike n Rachel in DC: Back to commencement…

Rush: Yes!

Mike n Rachel in DC: UPF

Rush: I guess that was “International music.”

angel: Some birthplace. Watch your step!

Mike n Rachel in DC: They must have filmed all of these little scenes in one day

Len Freeman has joined this room

Rush: Len!

hounder: hi len

Rush: GFood evening to you!

angel: Why IS Sir Eric so etc.etc.etc.?????

Len Freeman: Hi RUsh

Rush: We are watching Chapter 5.

Len Freeman: How’s the serial going tonite

Len Freeman: Is this the last?

Rush: Well…but short!

angel: Hi, Len! Pull up a nameplate!! United Nations forming here! I see London, i see Franz somebody!

Rush: Nearly over for this Chapter.

Matt1: Hello Len!

Len Freeman: Hi Matt

Mike n Rachel in DC: Hello Len!

angel: Mr. Stanton almost fell out when they did that “flip cut”!

Len Freeman: Hi MnF

Len Freeman: R

Mike n Rachel in DC: Should have brought some marshmellows…

Rush: Okay…

angel: It’s 1-2-3, what are they fighting for?

Rush: We now pause….

Len Freeman: I have a question

Rush: This is the “end” of Chapter 8!

angel: This is about all i can take.

Rush: When he lands in the fire in the cave.

Len Freeman: Rush, I was wondering if you’d ever be open to have a ZOOM meeting of the group?

angel: That’s it? Where he lands in the fire? No titles or cuts? Sheesh!

Rush: As Len noted a few weeks ago, this serial was chopped up and spliced together!

hounder: so i should have stopped at the heiroglyphics?

Rush: I went through the entire thing and found the most “logical” beginnings and endings.

angel: I should say so! Sliced & diced, which brings us to Reno. Let’s gamble & get a divorce! No, TWO divorces.

Rush: 🙂

Rush: Yes, Reno was the “Divorse Capital of the World” in 1938.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Thank you Rush…it’s too bad this is edited, but it’s still fun to watch.

Rush: (Divorce)

Rush: I agree, Mike.

Len Freeman: I’ve been in a bunch of Zoom meetings online lately and realized that it might be fun to see each other some night… perhaps just a one shot.. but it would easily handle a group our size.

Louise has joined this room

Louise: Hi all!

Len Freeman: Hi Louise

angel: If we meet on ZOOM, the current Chinese will monitor our proceedings. They WILL be impressed!!

hounder: hi louise

Rush: Next week we start at 9:55 and run it to 25:56.

Rush: hello, LOUISE!

angel: Loueeeeeeeeeeeez! Give my hound a hug! I must distance myself.

Rush: Welcome!

Matt1: Hello Louise!

Mike n Rachel in DC: We’d definitely be up to Zooming

Len Freeman: Rush, don’t know if you saw my query about Zoom

Rush: 16 minutes until “Charlie Chan in Reno.”

Louise: :Len, I asked the same question last week. I think one ZOOM meeting, using the written chat and with the audio off, could be fun.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Hi Louise.

Rush: When did you send it, Louise?

Louise: During the chat last week.

Rush: I saw something from about a week ago?

Rush: Yes!

angel: Audio ON could be fun! If video is included, however, only Fox will appear on screen. Mr.DeMille says i’m not ready for my closeup.

Rush: I think I actually noted that when I was formatting the text for the archive!

Rush: I was going to see what you and others thought about that possibility.

Matt1: Would I need to wear a tie?

Len Freeman: It’s not to tricky.. just need everyone’s email addresses to send an “invite”

Len Freeman: Yes Matt.,… probably a shirt too.

Rush: Louise, as you are our resident guru in such things, do you think that a Zoom “Room” would work?

Matt1: Ugh

Louise: Pants?

Matt1: Plz, no

Mike n Rachel in DC: Only if you stand up, Louise?

Rush: Cound we watch the movie on it somehow, etc.?

Len Freeman: No re: the movie, but we could do the chat parts

Rush: (Okay.

Rush: TYSM, Len.

Rush: We need to put our heads together on this.

Louise: Rush: I just did 2 ZOOM workshops and it is so easy. People can have video running or not. I would recommend no audio however because then we would have to take turns saying things and that is not our style!

Mike n Rachel in DC: It’s possible to “screen share” so someone could put the movie on their computer and share the screen to all.

angel: It could be a rocky horror. Gosh, i hope so!

Len Freeman: It’d probably be a bit much every week, but once in awhile it would be fund.

Rush: As I understand, and I do use Zoom to meet with students, is that the free version of Zoom only allows for 40 minutes of activity.

Len Freeman: fun

Rush: Does that sound correct?

angel: Sounds quite strenuous. I’ll send a boy.

Len Freeman: Louise do yu have a Zoom account?

Louise: I think just once, with one of our best movies like Circus or Opera or one of the spooky ones.

Nothere has joined this room

Rush: Maybe on “special occasions” we could try it?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Rush…that’s right. I get it through UMD for classes and had to buy the real thing for the rest of my life.

Rush: NT!

Rush: WELCOME!

Nothere: Greeting. Wheres the slots?

angel: Rush, when WE (me & Fox) are here, we have NO activity. Not even carbon footprints.

Matt1: Hello NT!

Len Freeman: HI NT

hounder: hi nt

Rush: Yes, Mike.

angel: NOtty! This way to lose it all!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Hi NT!

Louise: Yes, I have a ZOOM account but I think it is limited in time. But I could pay for a more extended account if we want to try.

Rush: My school was able to work it out so that we have “extended” meetings.

Mike n Rachel in DC: We should do one “normal” Zoom session…then another for our Halloween party…

Matt1: I’ve never “Zoomed” but willing to try

Nothere: Oh no Angel. I know the slots have the wors odds in the casino. Take me to the craps table where I can bt on people to lose.

angel: Are we limited to 10 participants For The Duration?

Rush: It might be an issue in that with a larger group, we would be speaking over each other.

Louise: No limit. I was on with 125 people the other day!

Len Freeman: Lindsay and I have an account that we use for a weekly “family meeting” with all our kids & spouses..

Rush: also, mu Internet connection breaks up at times, causing freezing.

angel: Notty, you have the cagey strategy. I shall follow you thence.

Rush: (my)

hounder: wow louise. big meeting

Mike n Rachel in DC: We just need someone with a “full” version of Zoom (not the free version) to “host” the gathering.

Rush: 9 1/2 minutes…

Nothere: Us speaking over each other? Fah and faderl.

angel: Polar bears cause freezing.

Louise: Again I recommend no audio: only chat like we have now. With video for those who want o appear.

Len Freeman: Think it costs us about $16/month.

hounder: i’ll chime back in when y’all start speaking english again

Rush: Also, there would not be a satisfactory means of archiving the chat.

angel: Fox sez he will underwrite a month’s worth. Fox is flush. Tell us where to mail the cheque, with a “q”.

Mike n Rachel in DC: And Len, I think as long as the “host” has the paid version, others can use the free version to join as guests.

Rush: Hounder…I UNDERSTAND!

Louise: I’ll check on the full versikon. My husband is on it all day long so I am sure he has an account.

Len Freeman: We could probably host… But I agree with doing it just for special occasions rather than every week

Rush: I was “forced” into 2020 when the virus hit!

Len Freeman: There’s no cost for the participants…

Rush: Yes.

Matt1: My wife attened a virtual funeral via Zoom

angel: Louise, your husband may be involved in espionage. Do you think he’ll let us borrow the screen?

Len Freeman: Great Louise.

Louise: We can archive it by recording it right in the app!

Rush: 7 1/2 minutes…

Mike n Rachel in DC: Right. It sounds like we have a plethora of hosts. (do you like my “plethora” Angel?)

Rush: Please ready your copies of “Charlie Chan in Reno.”

Len Freeman: Wow… plethora…

Nothere: Hoinder this is English. zoom t close in. Now when we speak leet, things get interesting.

Matt1: Cued!

Len Freeman: we’ve raised the bar,…

Matt1: Big words

Dona has joined this room

Dona: Hello Everyone!

Matt1: Hello Dona!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Of course in 50 years people will read this and say “What is this Zoom they are talking about?”

Louise: CUED here. Small words…

Nothere: El Gropo likes them Mike. You son of a motherless goat.

angel: MnR, plethora is one of my favorite social lubricants! It’s good to have it, for discreet use only in these charlie times.

Rush: True, Mike!

angel: Hi, Dona! Help me chart the ancestry of this goat!

Matt1: I may wear a Tux for the 1st Zoom

hounder: hi dona

Rush: They might also wonder why people had arms and legs back in 2020!

Nothere: Well I have no Tux, but I do have a top hat.

Dona: Does the goat have a name?

Matt1: I have a Mickey Mouse bow tie

Nothere: Hi Dona.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Matt, be careful you don’t set a standard you’ll have trouble keeping… 😉

Rush: Not to mention…BODIES…

Rush: “It still takes SIX WEEKS.”

Len Freeman: Good cast in this

Phil: yeah

Nothere: Major Dunbar has no major plans for the evening.

Rush: Agreed, Len!

Louise: AWKWARD!

angel: She reminds me of the drunk moll in Petrified Forest.

Rush: This was at the time the most highly budgeted Chan film.

angel: Scuse me, Key Largo!!

Len Freeman: Oh, she’s just asking to become a corpse!!

Rush: “This is 1939…we’re MODERN….”

angel: What was the swag on this, rush?

angel: Chick doesn’t know it’s 1946.

Nothere: This is the kind of table you suddenly remember you need to make a phone call.

Louise: CAT fight!

Rush: GREAT screams!

Louise: I like that mask

Phil: Cue the Can

Matt1<tin can>

Mike n Rachel in DC: “I didn’t do it.”

Phil: He “thinks” she’s dead.

angel: At least she was wearing a mask. Chalk it up to Corona.

Nothere: Theres a reason he’s hotel doctor.

Phil: TYSM Matt

Mike n Rachel in DC: Vaccine still not ready…

Rush: CC at work on a special project in the police lab…

Rush: Angel: 🙂

Mike n Rachel in DC: Ouch.

Phil: Wisest words ever spoken by CC

Rush: Very difficult to believe ill of those we love.

Rush:
Ancient ancestor once say, “Words cannot cook rice.”

Rush: The Clipper….

Louise: USC!

Rush: USC.

angel: Can words fry eggs?

Rush: That was where I got to see the “lost” Chan film scripts…

Mike n Rachel in DC: Yeah. So they sort of overdid the Confucius sayings in his first scene…

Nothere: The biggest little city in the world just got national.

Rush: Kind of a fun connection.

angel: Objectionable odor is tetragene.

Louise: Sprout?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Angel, with the right words, I can make a souffle

Rush: Yes!

Nothere: One of Chan’s kids is actually in class for once.

Rush: True.

angel: Fox & i had words earlier. Big yolks.

Mike n Rachel in DC: That was a little dangerous…

angel: Can i borrow your tank?

Rush: “DON’T pick up strangers!”

Nothere: The old I’m sick trick.

Rush: Stunt double!

Dona: Yes Rush. That is what my Dad always told me

Mike n Rachel in DC: That was quite a stunt!

Rush: Yes!

Mike n Rachel in DC: zing

Rush: That would have resulted in at least a few scrapes!

Rush: “I ain’t sayin’ another word…”

Nothere: I forget what movie it was. Two guys see a hot girl hitchhiking. Debating if they shoul pick her up. one says this is how porn movies start. His friend points out its also how horror movies start.
