HonoluLou: Gotta Be!
Mike in DC: Always returns to the nest, Louise?
Rush: Louise, I have had a lot going on since school ended. I will need to meet with you at some point to resume the WordPress move!
Rush: Nothing huge, but just an assist or two!
Louise: Definitely, Rush. I am back to my daily routine of doing nothing.
Rush: Also, it seems that I am still able to edit this site via Tripod, though I am not sure why and how Internet Explorer is still functioning for that!
Rush: Anyway…not complaining!
Rush: A reprieve!
HonoluLou: Beg honorable permission. I will go prepare Tiger Tea (as Steve calls it) to watch most memorable Chan film. Be right back.

mda19083: no popcorn for me tonight – but I have my box of sno-caps
Mike in DC: This is one of the wackier Chans, I think.
Matt1: Agreed
Matt1: Cued!
Mike in DC: Ditto
Rush: In someways, Mike, yes, perhaps!
Dona: Ready here.
Rush: Ready here, too!
Rush: The map at the title, here, is actually pretty accurate, generally.
HonoluLou: MDA “Snow Caps”. I used to eat boxed of em…then I switched to PEZ!
Rush: “Mojave Wells” is fictional, though.
Mike in DC: The whole Borgia tie-in is a bit contrived and it doesn’t make sense…at least it’s difficult to follow
Godwinshelley2 has joined this room

HonoluLou: MDA, really! The PEZ convention is the 23d-25th this month about 10 minutes from my house!
Matt1: Hello m/m Phil!
Mike in DC: Did the castle get built in the desert because land was cheap?
Rush: “Mojave Wells” may have been based on the real town in Death valley, Stovepipe Wells.
mda19083: hello Phils
Godwinshelley2: I’m cued
Godwinshelley2: Hello all
Mike in DC: Lou/MDA: Rachel and I have toured the Pez factory (and museum)!

mda19083: didn’t know pez was that big that it needed a convention
Dona: Hello M&M Phil
HonoluLou: Mike, the one in Burlingame, CA?
Rush: Times Square would have been a poor choice!
Phil & Mrs. Phil: Aloha to all our Chan friends! Good to see you all.
Mike in DC: True, Rush, but I would have gone for a secluded part of, say, Tahiti
Rush: 75 seconds…
Godwinshelley2: I’ve had an exciting day – saw an Audiologist about hearing aids and am mailing my passport renewal (with hideous photo) in.

HonoluLou: A gecko. Love em!
Louise: Yes, GS, weird music
Rush: yes, Lou!
Mike in DC: That’s impressive, Lou
mda19083: lou – is there a Charlie Chan PEZ dispenser?

HonoluLou: Isn’t there actually some castle “really” in the desert this is fashioned after?
Rush: Scotty’s Castle, probably
HonoluLou: Oh, I thought there was.
Rush:
hounder has joined this room
Mike in DC: Castles were notoriously drafty and cold. Maybe this compensates for the desert heat? Or is it like 120 degrees in there?
Matt1: Hello Hounder!
Rush: The actual “castle in the desert”
Rush: Hounder!
mda19083: greetings hounder
Rush: WELCOME!!!

Rush: yes, Lou!
HonoluLou: Best in the series…aphoristically speaking.
Rush: nice point, Lou!
Rush: But the omelette would be pretty dirty on that road!
Mike in DC: According to the pigeon manual: 38. Sex
a. Sex of the pigeon is difficult to determine without experience ; how- ever, some external characteristics help recognition.
Rush: “Man without enemies like dog without fleas.
“Man who fears death dies a thousand times”
Rush: Good aphorisms in this one as Lou said!
HonoluLou: Yes, so cool. Mike, not everyone has one of those manuals. Very impressive.
Matt1: Hotel is going to lose his 5 diamond status
Phil & Mrs. Phil: Boy that hotel manager is pretty bossy.
Rush: Nice retort from chan here!
Rush: Yes, phil!
Rush: Not the nicest hotel proprietor!
Rush: No wonder the place is probably empty!
HonoluLou: Ha, Ha. True Rush.
Louise: But do they offer chocolate cookies when you check in?
Mike in DC: Ming Toy is not a “creature.”
Rush: Did Chan bring FOOD for the bird?
HonoluLou: This has residuals, of course, of The Chinese Parrot.
Rush: 🙂
Phil & Mrs. Phil: The butler has a bad attitude too.
mda19083: tough to get good help

Phil & Mrs. Phil: Yup
mda19083: that’s his brother Jackie
Rush: It’s interesting how some actors pop up in the following Chan movie!
Louise: Were those actors on contract to the studio, Rush?
Rush: BUT, he DOES have a Packard “Woddy” instead of a horse-drawn carriage!
Rush: (woody)
Rush: Yes, Louise.
Phil & Mrs. Phil: That’s not George Zucco.
mda19083: Douglas Dumbrille
Rush: Douglas Dumbrille: [Paul] Manderley

Godwinshelley2: It looks like a piano to me
HonoluLou: What Rush? Now your gonna make us rewind after the chat.
Rush: Organ looks like a harpsichord.
HonoluLou: Charlie says, “You first, girlfriend.”
Rush: Black candles.
Rush: Uh-oh!
Phil & Mrs. Phil: Droppin’ like flies.
Matt1: <tin can>
Louise: Don’t drink at that party…
HonoluLou: Rush, you’re very perceptive. Black Candle…a nice touch.
Mike in DC: Could be a small organ…portativ or “virginal” from the late Renaissance
Rush:
Godwinshelley2: Not a single luxury – like robinson caruso
Phil & Mrs. Phil: Ah not so fast Rush.
hounder: i’m not sure i’d know which glas to drink from at that table
Rush: Jimmy jumps to conclusions…again!
Rush: Me neither, Hounder!
HonoluLou: His face is so horrible…Haha.

Rush: tagara weed (tagara) – (Sanskrit) A slightly hairy, tufted herb with thick horizontal rootstocks that contains a sweet smelling essential oil. Tagara (Indian valerian) is prescribed as a remedy for hysteria, hypochondria, nervous unrest, and emotional troubles. The drug contains a group of iridoid or monoterpenic derivatives, known as valepotriates which are useful as tranquilizers and sedatives. An iridoid ester glycoside designated as valerosidatum (isovaleryl glucoside) has also been isolated.
