Godwinshelley2: I like the setting of this film17:30
Phil: THAT’S where I’d want to be in a thunderstorm.17:30
fredsmom: Love the rain and the wax museum ..perfect combo17:30
Mike in DC: The plot is dumb, but the campy atmosphere makes it.17:30
Godwinshelley2: I think you have my phone number – we’re out of town until the end of this month17:30
angel & fox: Wonder how much a genuine 1940s CC action figure (seated) would fetch today?17:30
LibraryJim: Yeah, real safe …. On a power pole fiddling with power lines in a lightning storm.17:30
Mike in DC: Agreed, FM.17:30
Nothere: Is that cigatrette holder licenced asa weapon?17:30
Mike in DC: Almost made an ash of himself, LJ17:31
Mike in DC: …and does anyone know what the purpose of a cigarette holder is? It seems very unnecessary.17:31
angel & fox: She stole that ciggie holder on a visit to a certain home on PennsyAve in Washington D.C. (Dirt City)17:31
Mike in DC: (unless one needs a blowgun substitute)17:32
Godwinshelley2: Wouldn’t it keep ash off your lips17:32
Godwinshelley2: and not smear your lipstick17:32
angel & fox: I’d like to have a nose like hers full of nickels (as W.C.Fields once said).17:32
Godwinshelley2: and maybe hold the smoke away from your eyes and nose17:32
LibraryJim: Love those light switches.17:32
Mike in DC: OH. I think that’s it, GS. No unsightly lipstick-on-the-cigarette thing.17:32
Nothere: And there it is one of the few dark and stormy nights in Chan history.17:32
Mike in DC: More elegant.17:32
Louise: I think the cigarette holder are also supposed to cool the smoke17:33
Cdirus: I though it had something to do with not having a filter (don’t need one with a filtered cigaret17:33
angel & fox: Recessed LED’s would eliminate so much morgue-messes.17:33
LibraryJim: A&F WC didn’t have much room to talk re: noses!17:33
Godwinshelley2: Maybe you could insert some kind of filter or flavor into them17:33
Mike in DC: Clearly we are a group of non-smokers. :)17:33
Louise: I love the lighting in this one17:33
angel & fox: LJ: That was ONE of the beauties of W.C.!17:33
Phil: Nice windowpane plaid suit there.17:33

fredsmom: near miss!17:34
angel & fox: The bank put a lien on my little chickadee, & i’m on a payment plan that leaves me only chickenfeed.17:34
Godwinshelley2: No background music here17:34
angel & fox: Got a Daily Noose, bub?17:35
Mike in DC: Sort of fits with the austere lighting17:35
LibraryJim: Back door on an iron maiden?17:35
Louise: I was just thinking that Rush will be able to see this entire conversatio. Nice aspect of new system.17:35
Phil: There she is Lilly the Rhinemaiden.17:36
fredsmom: There is a crime museum in Pigeon Forge Tn which is really good-has everything from medieval times to John Wayne Gacy’s Clown costumes17:36
Mike in DC: Heiho!17:36
Godwinshelley2: Is she your valkrie, Mike?17:36
Mike in DC: She is a MAJOR heart-throb.17:36
Mike in DC: …and I rarely like women in movies.17:36
Mike in DC: swoon17:36
LibraryJim: She IS cute.17:36
angel & fox: Mister AGNEW—No relation to Spiro, or—?17:37
Mike in DC: She’s also in “Murder over New York.”17:37

Louise: Your Lily is a liar.17:39
Mike in DC: But the reporter doesn’t lick her finger… 17:40
Phil: Lyin German.17:40
angel & fox: Think there was a potential niche for an Electric Sofa?17:40
Louise: Okay, Mike, I’ll give you the finger licking…17:40
Phil: And being German myself, I can say that.17:40
Louise: Grab the pliers17:40
Nothere: So one comment and this guy completely changes his mind. Maybe you should figure these things out, before challengeing folks on them over national radio.17:41
Mike in DC: Come on, Lily. Snip the wires…17:41
angel & fox: Call from Dumbo on the Trunk Line!17:41

Godwinshelley2: There was a goofy looking one in the middle on the right of the door17:41
Mike in DC: Fox must have emptied their entire store of wax figures and weird masks on this set.17:42
Phil: Ah gees guy, give it a rest.17:42
LibraryJim: That was Abby Normal.17:42
angel & fox: Mrs. Rock imagines an America in which media can be turned any whichway. Boy, was SHE ahead of her time.17:42
Nothere: I’ve heard of musical chairs, but musical electric charis?17:42
angel & fox: Notty, you’ve got ANOTHER product improvement in contention there!17:42

Nothere: 267 Louise17:47
Phil: Yeah Charlie, keep pointing at that dart one more time…17:47
Mike in DC: Tonga was the name of the Andaman Island pigmy in The Sign of Four (Sherlock Holmes). Is this an homage?17:47
Godwinshelley2: At least 2 that I think of this & Treasure Island17:47
Louise: Correct NT17:47
Nothere: And tell that guy to stop raising his eyebrow at me.17:47

Mike in DC: Got up to see the Flay-ash?17:49
danventure: Nope, no need to look for fingerprints there.17:49
Phil: You are correct Mike. I’m a major fan of Holmes.17:49

angel & fox: One dummy inside another dummy: another kid ahead of his time.17:50
Mike in DC: Jimmy = klutz17:50

angel & fox: A stikely lorry.17:51
Nothere: So at least two people have snuck in. Dr. Cream you might want to look into more security for your criminal base.17:52

Mike in DC: Good point, NT.17:52
danventure: Ditto, NT. Regular crossroads there.17:53
