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: 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.
