Matt1: Hello Dan!
DanVenture: Don’t fall over! Yes, it’s Dan. Not even right on time, but EARLY.
Rush has left this room
DanVenture: And now, Rush rushes to leave.
DanVenture: Or maybe fell over.
DanVenture: Meantime, maybe that network issue he mentioned really is that bad.
Matt1: He’s having internet issues, but I like the way you think too, lol
DanVenture: You see, once you get a reputation it’s hard to live down.
DanVenture: However, since my day job involves networks, it is possible I have some pointers that might help Rush.
Matt1: I’m setting up my counter…..just in case, lol
Rush2 has joined this room
Matt1: Ever since working from home with COVID, we got a booster and love it

Matt1: Hello Philly!
mda19083: Hello to all my fellow Chan Chatters

Rush: Welcome!
Rush: AH!
Rush: That sounds pretty easy!
Matt1: I did it, soooooo

mda19083: creepy lady from dead men tell
Phil & Mrs Phil: I’ll bet that hotel owner doesn’t do much business. Quite an attitude.
Mike in DC: For someone in the hospitality business, this hotel guy isn’t very welcoming…
Nothere: O.k. you guys mut be sick of me saying it, but go away Saturna.

Nothere: joke even
mda19083: rush 3?
Phil & Mrs Phil: Oh no you won’t
Nothere: Who won’t what? I wasn’t even there.

Rush: Computer’s back.
Rush: Swithing to PC!
mda19083: i’m told it is more fun to smoke it

Rush: Milton Parsons.
mda19083: i get high on life
Rush: Yes!
Louise: That is a mouth full of teeth
Godwinshelley2: Yea! Milton!!
Phil & Mrs Phil: People keep dropping in. Manderly must be near apoplectic.
Rush: Yes, GS!
Rush: Milton gets around!
Phil & Mrs Phil: He was in a movie called “The Monster that Challenged the World.”
Mike in DC: I don’t think he’s fully recovered from his treasure cruise…still a little bonkers.
Rush: The original “Uncle Milty”!
Godwinshelley2: Radio, Film and Television. Wonder if he was on the stage too?
Rush: Probably.
Rush: Interesting shadow to Jimmy’s right as he epproached the open window.
Rush: Approached.
Rush: Mme. Saturnia looks through the apothecary.

DanVenture: Just spent a delightful 20 minutes learning about the real “Castle in the Desert” aka “Scotty’s Castle. Who knew??
Rush2 has joined this room
Rush has left this room
Rush2: Yes, Hounder!
Nothere: There gonna kill him for being late on icebox payments? Remind me not to shop at that store.

Godwinshelley2: That’s what we forgot to add to the architecture! A Poison Room
mda19083: mapuchari perhaps?
Rush has joined this room
Rush:
Rush: Better late than never…
Phil & Mrs Phil: A bit premature nonetheless.
Rush: And, with a n asterisk!
Rush: YES!
Nothere: Tetriagine, tagara. When Chan is around avoid any drug that starts with T.
Godwinshelley2: Isn’t it late to lock the door now!?
mda19083: yes nt
Rush: Listen to Mme. Saturnia…
Phil & Mrs Phil: So ah..where is Mme. Saturnia off to?
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.
Nothere: Man cannot avoid destiny, but hecan try.
Rush: He sure CAN!
Louise: don’t drag Juliet into this
Rush: 🙂
Rush: Nor Romeo, either!
Rush2 has left this room
Rush2 has joined this room
mda19083: the candle budget at manderley castle must be exorbitant
Rush has left this room
Godwinshelley2: The valerian brewed in the US is said to smell like boiled sweat socks. So that must be a very distant relative.
Rush2: Back on my phone!
Rush2: Crazy night at my end!
Godwinshelley2: Power outage or bad computer?
Louise: GS: not very appetizing
Mike in DC: William Tell with the crossbow there!
Rush2: Close call there!
Godwinshelley2: Yeah – they do consider it good to relax folks
Louise: Glamour Boy
Rush2: Weak modem signal, GS
Phil & Mrs Phil: Destruction of government property!
Nothere: Depends what he was aiming at Will. That was ither a very good, or very bad shot.
Godwinshelley2: The fun of new locations
Rush has joined this room
Mike in DC: William Tell, Jr. in action
Phil & Mrs Phil: I love that line…”obvious not meant for pigeon.”
mda19083: do we use the can for death of ming toy

Mike in DC: perhaps a small can?
Godwinshelley2: Gee – wrong again
Rush2: We did earlier
Rush has left this room
DanVenture: How long was the murderer waiting out there on the off-chance that Chan opened the window??
Godwinshelley2: lightly oriental theme for a bit

Dona: Agreed
Rush2: Agreed, NT
Godwinshelley2: Are you soldier or Mouse? —— Mouse!

mda19083: can we put the lid back on the can
Rush2: Nice “mosaic” dress
Godwinshelley2: Egyptian influence in dress?
Rush2: Sort of an ancient Egyptian influence?
Louise: Take back that can
Rush2: Yes!
Louise: CANS
Nothere: It was a fak can.
Rush2: Madame Saturnian was right!
Godwinshelley2: Were there big Egyptian exhibits touring in 1941?
mda19083: 2 cans
Godwinshelley2: If I remember the year correctly
mda19083: juliet again
Rush2: Probably not, GS, as the war was going on in Europe
Nothere: The eternal problem. If we don’t can people will get suspicious. If we do are we dishonoring the sacered goat lunch?
Louise: FRAUD is crime…just saying
PaulM has left this room
Godwinshelley2: Oh no – Paul is gone too
Rush2: BUT the earlier influence may not have totally died out by 1942.
Mike in DC: Jimmy!
Godwinshelley2: 1942 – didn’t we start the African campaign then – maybe that
mda19083: jimmy chan in can
Nothere: By Anubis the power of ancient Egypt shall never die.

Nothere has left this room
Hounder: Cannedoutpost
Rush2: I am still here, hopefully till the end!
Godwinshelley2: That room looks like the setup for a 3 Stooges sketch
Rush2: I think it would not be easy managing stone stairs in that armor!
Rush2: Hard to watch ones footing!
Dona: Agreed
Phil & Mrs Phil: Cue the can
Rush2: I would suggest it broke as he slid to the floor!
mda19083: lets recreate the crime
Phil & Mrs Phil: He can’t be dead because we haven’t heard the can.
Matt1: Can’t
Rush2: I can’t add the visual on my phone!
Matt1: tin can
Matt1: Finally!
Mike in DC: Jimmy has the can in operation for all of us…
mda19083: good one matt
Hounder: Lots of airmoving on the set to send those candles flickering somuch
DanVenture: I note the other suit of armor was back in place. Very neat murderer.
Rush2: Jimmy is “hot with a bow and arrow.”
Mike in DC: A tidy crime scene is a happy crime scene, Dan
Rush2: That leads to the last line tonight!
