Godwinshelley2: Does that tie really go with his suit?
Matt1: Johnny!
Nothere: Whose tie Dr. BEnsons?
Godwinshelley2: Yes – the paisley with the pinstripe?
Matt1: Looks like Chans PJ’s
Pinkflamingo: Does this movie gave the disclaimer that no animals were hurt during the making of this film. With all the slapping and whatever going on
Godwinshelley2: Maybe it’s a diamond pattern instead of paisley – still has a lot of texture going on

Nothere: Louise
Nothere: Has a feathe in her cap
Nothere: We caught the pharoh in the bathroom.
Mike in DC: Delicately opening the centuries-old relic…
Godwinshelley2: There is a gift exchange at HP Lovecraft Historical Society – and I am thinking of doing something pyramidal -since HP Lovecraft worked with Houdini about Escape from the Pharohs
Matt1: Looks like they needed the Weather Channel App
Nothere: Theysaid he was an archeologist. No one said he was a good one.
Pinkflamingo: Watch that photographer. Think he’s going to be trouble
Matt1: <cough>
Nothere: So your a member of the society God?
Mike in DC: Does Mason rate a tincan?
Godwinshelley2: A lifetime member
Pinkflamingo: Don’t drink don’t drink
Godwinshelley2: Their gift exchange is the highlight of my holiday season usually
Mike in DC: Oh oh.
Nothere: Well he die months before the film so that’s one long kick.
Mike in DC: *thud*
Godwinshelley2: I do like the suit on the lady
Mike in DC: True, NT. The can probably has a statute of limitations.
Matt1: Can was burried in the sand
Godwinshelley2: Any word on why Keye did this instead of Karloff?
Nothere: Prepare the new can
Matt1: <tin can>
Nothere: Lecture is over. Not long till Lous Long.
Pinkflamingo: Love Keyes mustache. Very dignified

Matt1: Seems odd, no? NY
Matt1: NT
Nothere: Now Lotus don’t make that long face.
Nothere: A piece of apple pie as her whole lunch for a month? Someone fee that poor girl.
Matt1: Foo!
Mike in DC: LTF!
Nothere: LTF?
Mike in DC: Lee Tong Foo
Nothere: Ah. So is this a one way street?
Mike in DC: Who? The inspector? Street?
Nothere: Correct
Mike in DC: Street = not the sharpest knife in the drawer
Godwinshelley2: Usually it’s Chan inside and someone outside threatening him or his visitor
Nothere: Aha ut was Dutch Elm disease.
Mike in DC: CPR?
Mike in DC: How sweet. They both saw “light in the shrubbery.”

Nothere: My scroll leads to Eternal Fire Mike
