Rush: 🙂
Mike n Rachel in DC: No, Irish do bagpipes too…they’re all over the place!

Rush: he was able to find a few things that at least vaguely relate to our movie for tonight, “The Chinese Cat”!
Rush: The first is a cartoon about a taxicab family, in honor of Birmingham Brown’s own taxicab that plays a part in tonight’s film!
Matt1: Fun!

Da Hep Cats, Angel & Foxx: I’m gonna tell my friends i have a lotta bread in my freezer (which i do: Dave’s Bread usually $6.99, periodically on sale at $4.99, & i always get 6 loaves then); i will watch my friends to see who kills me, or Foxx.
Rush: Foggy room!
Rush: A bit of bread for that bread…
Rush: Must be excellent.
Da Hep Cats, Angel & Foxx: Did Yellow Cab have some kind of deal with Hollywood back in the day? An early iteration of Product Placement?
Rich Maine: A coming for your loaves!
Rush: Maybe, Angel!
Rush: Or…more likely, Monogram hired a car in order to use it in the movie!
Da Hep Cats, Angel & Foxx: Rush, we’re not an economist OR a biologist. Mere humble defective.
Rush: maybe they received a discount due to the “plug.”
Da Hep Cats, Angel & Foxx: This guy’s ready to get the wheels kicked out from under him.
Da Hep Cats, Angel & Foxx: Rush, ya think?
Rush: Expert is merely man who make quick decision – and is sometimes right.

Rich Maine: Why is a fun house here?
Da Hep Cats, Angel & Foxx: Anybody ever hear an OTR item (Inner Sanctum or some such) called “Death Across The Board”, where the usual madman is offing people in relation to a diabolical (natch) chess game on his diabolical secret chess board?

Godwinshelley2: Like that exciting “walking to the cab/building” music
Rush: Pride in design back then!
Da Hep Cats, Angel & Foxx: Can you shout any louder, BB?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes, GS. Monogram needs to up their “exciting music” game.
Da Hep Cats, Angel & Foxx: GS, we liked the cab music too! Very excessive!

Rush: BB’s “friend.”
Rich Maine: P,uck his eyebrows
Mike n Rachel in DC: The dreaded “eyebrow plucking torture” Phil!
Rush: Diamond-holding tweezers.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Idiots
Hounder: It wouldn’t connect to wifi so I was going to reboot. Now I have ablue screen that says ‘getting windows ready don’t turn off yourcomputer.’ And it’s taking a long time. Sigh.
Phil: Forget the eyebrows – go for the nose.
Dona: hrry
Dona: hurry
Rush: The gimmicks in this Monogram: The secret compartments and the gang’s number system.

Da Hep Cats, Angel & Foxx: Inferior people should not be employed. The great leader vests families with fiefs.
mda19083: i thought the butler did it
Mike n Rachel in DC: $20 Gs to Chinese War Relief!
Rush: That would equal $400,000 today!
Dona: WOW
Mike n Rachel in DC: That means that Charlie wagered $40,000. He’s really come up from the $0.25 he put on that horse a long time ago.
Rush: “Thank-YOU!”
