Matt1: Hello Rush!
Rush: good evening, matt!
Rush: ow are you doing tonight?
Matt1: Did you get my email?
Rush: I haven’t checked it today.
Rush: Sorry!
Rush: Should I take a look?
Matt1: Thought you may have wanted to clear our the chat room…..look above
Rush: OH…
Rush: Yes…I saw thaty.
Rush: I tried to find a way to get rid of that…
Rush: No luck.
Rush: So…I sent us down pretty far so it will not show.
Matt1: Oh, wasn’t sure when you saved the chat, you were able to delete
Rush: That came on long after I copied the chat.
Matt1: As the Mod here, can you block that person?
Rush: Obviously amn outgrowth of all the hate in the streets currently.
Matt1: Sadly, yes
Rush: I looked at users to do that, but that person just made that “name” on the spot. Not the name of a user.
Matt1: Ah, amazing how these people find our room at times
Rush: So…no one should be able to see that tonight.
Matt1: Any way….Hope you had a good week?
Rush: Yes. As a Chatovod room, it is open to anyone, sadly.
Rush: As I always say…cannot complain!
Rush: Our family is more than ready to escape this forced confinement.
Rush: In fact, we will be driving out to Iowa…leaving very early Sunday.
Matt1: Another week here…..Even with us in open phase, wife will be working from home until at least Sept
Rush: This is all so crazy…IMHO.
Matt1: How nice!
Rush: Yes.
Matt1: How long?
Rush: In fact, I was going to ask you if you can take the reins next Monday night?
Rush: nearly two weeks.
Matt1: I should be around, so no problem!
Rush: We will be away for two Mondays.
Matt1: How long is that drive?
Rush: I just might be able to stop in on those.
Rush: about 30 total hours of driving.
Matt1: The show MUST go on!
Rush: 1900-plus miles.
Matt1: Ouch
Rush: We plan to make it out in three days.
Rush: So, you are “go” to officiate?
Matt1: No broken bones this trip, Ok?
Rush: We will be as careful as possible!
Rush: 🙂
Matt1: I’ll be here to get us rolling both weeks, so don’t worry.

Rush: NT: 🙂
fredsmom: haha to NT
Nothere: And so this becomes one of only 2 Chans with a rain storm.
Mike n Rachel in DC: *bzzzt*
Rush: Willie is smrter than he seems!
Phil & Mrs Phiil: Nobody is going to notice those cables.
tenman: Which is the other with a rainstorm?
Matt1: Looks safe
Phil & Mrs Phiil: That’s where I’d want to be
Mike n Rachel in DC: Very elegant cigarette holder. *cough*
Nothere: What Chan film without rain would you put it in? A storm during one of the séances in Secret would work.
Rush: (cough…)
Rush: Yes.
fredsmom: No surgical nurse should be without one Mike and Rachael
Louise: Why is the top of his head bandaged?
Nothere: Ah you would ask. ‘m drawing a blank. Rush can you assist us?
Phil & Mrs Phiil: Hey look, it’s a pygmy arra!
Rush: Must have done some “fine tuning” on the top of McBirney’s head!
Louise: Brain transplant!
Rush: 🙂
Nothere: From an Abby…uhm I forget the last name.
Rush: I DID watch “The Bride of Frankenstein” this weekend!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Gotta change the scalp-prints, Louise.
Cdirus: So why does the watchman need a clock around his neck?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Abby somebody….
Matt1: lol
Cdirus: abby normal
Nothere: To know when to check each of the three rooms in the museum.
Rush: AH! Willie Fern was just ahead of his “time.”
fredsmom: That’s how they kept track of their rounds
Cdirus: Looks like a watch would work
Rush: Seems that that became a fashon accessorie some decades later with a certain performer!
Rush: (accessory)
Phil & Mrs Phiil: Flava Flav!
Rush: Indeed!
Rush: 🙂
Rush: The head on the shelf…
Rush: (Knock..knock…)

tenman: Jimmy isn’t very quiet. Well at least he’s a good cook!
Cdirus: The Sphinx
Rush: Under those bandages he’s holding back a scream of pain!
Rush: Yes. same one as seen in “Treasure island”?
Rush: A sweaty headsman figure.
Phil & Mrs Phiil: Rush I pointed out the Pygmy Arra statue that’s in this museum.
Nothere: Testing testin. Send money to Dr. Crème.
Rush: Yes!
Phil & Mrs Phiil: Maybe the same one as TI?
Louise: He like criminals that torture women
Rush: The Dyak Tribesman!
Phil & Mrs Phiil: Excuse me while I suck my finger.
Phil & Mrs Phiil: Inconspicuously of course.
Rush: 🙂
Nothere: It’s call a business. He wants to shock people. Criminals who spray graffiti just don’t draw the crowds.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Pygmy arra
tenman: BRB. Time for a glass of bourbon
hounder: …
Mike n Rachel in DC: Is everyone ready?
Phil & Mrs Phiil: I just got a glass of diet Pepsi
Mike n Rachel in DC: I was BORN ready
Nothere: If this is a crime museum why does he have rare native blowguns. Crème you have no idea how to run a museum.
Rush: 🙂
Rush: Agreed, NT!
Cdirus: Glass of Mexican Coke
Phil & Mrs Phiil: A little of this, a little of that…

Rush: Ouch!
Louise: sore finger
Nothere: Charile Chan Cop Doctor Radio star.
Mike n Rachel in DC: *Mexican coke*
Louise: She so Aryan!
tenman: Uh-oh. Von Braun next to die!
Phil & Mrs Phiil: I always have found the dialog in this plot to be particularly difficult to follow.
Rush: I was just thinking. Didn’t Bogart in “Dark Passage” have his head fully bandaged after his plastic surgery…sort of like McBirney?
Nothere: Well this was made in 1940 Louise. Bring her to the interrogation room. I’ll probe her.
Cdirus: Nope, Coca Cola with sugar instead of High Fructose corn syrup.
fredsmom: Yes Rush
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes. Rush. We don’t see “Bogart” until the bandages come off.
Rush: Broadcast time…
fredsmom: Lauren Bacall had to help him smoke through it
Rush: Right!
Mike n Rachel in DC: “Truth speak from any chair”
Cdirus: I usually drink Pepsi made with sugar, but that’s only in the tiny cans now.
hounder: truth speak from any chair
Mike n Rachel in DC: True, FM. He was all about the cigarette holder.
Rush: Yes, Hounder.
Phil & Mrs Phiil: June the 9th…Mrs Phil’s birthday!

Rush: We saw “Mrs. Rocke” in another Chan movie.
Rush: Recall her?
tenman: Say, pop dontcha feel well?? Jimmy’s such an idiot!!
Nothere: Forsooth Angel thou doest defame yon speech as archaic?
angel: Louise, it was a switchboard issue. All corrected after the Rotary Club stopped charging people for the light-up dials.
Rush: Interesting that they have a figure of CC in there!
angel: Not ye speech, Notty,

Louise: Tonga
Rush: Dyak headhunters – The Dyak, once a fierce and feared people, were among the original inhabitants of the island of Borneo, located in the western Pacific north of Java. In 1927, forensic doctor William Krohn set off for Borneo to collect ethnological specimens for Chicago’s Field Museum, living among the Dyak people, learning everything he could about their beliefs and way of life. The results of his work were published in his book Among the Dyak Headhunters.
Charlie Chan: “Tonga poison used by Dyak headhunters in Borneo.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Tonga. Bowanite. Tetragene.
