Rush g: Were you able to?
Matt1: Yes
Rush g: What did you do that worked?
Matt1: My name was already in log in, so I just hit enter
Rush g: HM!
Matt1: Are you using same browser or was it updated?
Rush g: When I clicked, it said that that name was already registered.
Rush g: Same as always.
Matt1: That’s what happened to my old “Matt”
Hawaii_Steve has joined this room
Matt1: Can’t get it back either
Matt1: Alohaaaaaaaaa Steve!
Hawaii_Steve: Aloha from the Land of Chan !!!!

Rush g: Yes, Steve.
Rush g: How are you tonight, TM?
tenman: Doing well. You?
Hawaii_Steve: The virus numbers are on the rise big time in Hawaii. 200+ per day.
Rush g: When things get “quiet” I wonder if my connection dropped!

Rush g: Busy and well, TM. TYSM!
Rush g: School year is reaqdying.
Mike n Rachel in DC has joined this room
Rush g: Lots of preparation to do…especially when we cannot start IN school.
Matt1: Still going back, Rush?
Mike n Rachel in DC: They’re back!
Rush g: Mike and Rachel!
Rush g: Good evening!
Matt1: Hello M & R!
Hawaii_Steve: During our chat, I am eating my lunch, 1:30 PM Hawaii time. Pardon me if I do not respond in a timely manner.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Great to see everyone again…it’s been a tough week or two
Mike n Rachel in DC: Munch away, Steve. We’re eating supper on the east coast. π
Hawaii_Steve: Thank you. Will do.
Rush g: Yes, Steve! ENJOY!
Mike n Rachel in DC: We’ve got tacos de res, guacamole and other Mexican goodies. π
Rush g: Everyone ready for the serial?

Rush g: 5….
Rush g: GO!!!
Rush g: Title….
Rush g: Music….

Matt1: X-9 isn’t very secret
tenman: tricksy!
Rush g: Yes!
Rush g: Keye Luke….
Mike n Rachel in DC: Assassination!
Rush g: Captured!
Mike n Rachel in DC: If she’s going to keep her eyes perpetually downcast, she really shouldn’t stand in front of men…
Rush g: Interestingly, Keye luke is “Ah Fong,” and Benson Fong’s restaurants in L.A. were named…”Ah Fong.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: …our G-rating could be in peril.
Rush g: yes, Mike.
Rush g: I still say, she’s reading her lines on a board on the floor!
Hawaii_Steve: Action packed all the way.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Keye Luke – Ah Fong. Benson Fong…Ah Luke?
Rush g: π
Rush g: Yes, Steve!
Rush g: The title gives a hint as to our cliff-hanger moment: “Strafed by a Zero.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: OK. That’s unlikely in this cabaret…
Hawaii_Steve: Universal Studio should have cast Gale Sondergaard as the Asian Spider Woman. After all, she was under contract at Universal.
Rush g: Interesting, Steve!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Cy Kendall?
Rush g: YES.
Rush g: Steve..that would have made her pretty “exotic”!
Rush g: Tiddly-winks…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Well, if you’ve got two a
Mike n Rachel in DC: a’s in your name…you’re pretty exotic to start with
Mike n Rachel in DC: Not quite as cool as an umlaut, but close
Rush g: It’s a start, Mike!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Benson FΓΆng
Mike n Rachel in DC: Chaarlie ChΓ€n
Rush g: Yes…in that pesky sub!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Might be an opportune time for a Zero…
Hawaii_Steve: Recently I viewed “Airplane” (1980) with Lloyd Bridges, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, and a host of other veteran actors. Great fun. Bridges is a riot in this film. LOL !!!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Victor needs a vector, Steve
Rush g: Indeed, Steve!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Joyous reunion in the swamp!
Rush g: π
Rush g: Cue The Fixx…

Dona has joined this room
Louise: Hello Chan Clan!

Rush g: Louise and Dona!
Rush g: WELCOME!
Louise: Happy to be here
Mike n Rachel in DC: Did the Monograms have much run in theaters?
Matt1: Hello Louise and Dona!
Rush g: HAPPY (equally!) to have you here!
Louise: Really, Dan? Who had a TV then?
Rush g: π
Hawaii_Steve: If anybody is interested, I have completed my new Hollywood email, entitled: “Outliving Famous People at 66.” It features a collection of 103 celebrates that have died before reaching the age of 66 – 67. Most of these people are from our life-time.
Rush g: Yes, Steve!
Dona: That sounds interesing.
Matt1: Yes, very
Hawaii_Steve: to M & R, the Monogram Chans continued to play at second-run theaters into the early 1950s. They made money for the studio.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Rachel is cheering that Mike makes it onto that list…
Rush g: IYou have my address, Steve!
Hawaii_Steve: filmguy54@hotmail.com – for the email list. Thanks.

Louise: CUED here
Rush g: Getting my copy ready….
Mike n Rachel in DC: Gong-ready in DC!

Hawaii_Steve: Thank you Matt. I appreciate that.
Matt1: Cued to Opening Title!
Dona: I will sign up, Steve. Thank you,

Rush g: Actually, DV…his younger brother.
Rush g: Edwin luke was born in 1911…Keye luke 1905.
Rush g: Keye Luke was born in China, Edwin was born in Seattle.
Hawaii_Steve: The interesting thing about the Chan films appearing on TV. Monogram released them to TV before Fox did. I believe that the first Chan films were shown on the east coast, around 1948, 1949. 2oth C-Fox released the Chan films to TV after the success of “Shock Theater,” which was a collection of Universal Horror Classics.
Rush g: Interesting, Steve!
Dona: Yes
Rush g: from what I have seen, you are right.
Louise: Thanks, HS,interesting

Hawaii_Steve: Those are the masks I have to wear at work.
Rush g: π
Mike n Rachel in DC: Tacos always give me gas…but that’s another story…
Hawaii_Steve: Just joking.
Rush g: I am expecting the use of hazmat suits soon!
tenman: the butler reminds me strongly of ther Duke of Windsor
Mike n Rachel in DC: That will be for teachers, Rush.
Rush g: Yes, TM!
Dona: I agree Rush
Rush g: probably, Mike!
Mike n Rachel in DC: *hiss, hiss*. “Leave your homework in the airlock please”
Rush g: π
Rush g: or…. π
Rush g: “Roth!”
Mike n Rachel in DC: “Mom! My teacher this year is…Darth Vader! How cool!”
Rush g: Cue the breathing sound…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Rach and Mike have decided that we have to have a sense of humor about this.
Rush g: “You think of….almost everything…”
tenman: suspicious
Rush g: All we can do, Mike/Rachel!
Mike n Rachel in DC: “I like police.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Right, Rush. Because otherwise we’d go crazy.
Rush g: That buzzzzz again….
Louise: Police?
Dona: I agree M/R We would all be running down the street pulling our hair out if we didn’t have a sense of humor about it.
Mike n Rachel in DC: P’lese open the gate?
Rush g: (Creaaaakkkk….)
Mike n Rachel in DC: Lame police officer.
Rush g: His voice “changed.”
tenman: Dammit, Louise, now I have an itch for popcorn!
Rush g: They need a TV camera.
DanVenture: Hmmm…dishonest cop.

Louise: “Father” not “Pop”
Rush g: yes, mike.

Mike n Rachel in DC: What do they do, GS? Can they facilitate some $$?
tenman: I love it when Sidney smiles
Louise: Me too, tenman
Rush g: I once met some of Edwin Luke’s family at a Chan showing at the Old Town Music Hall in El Segundo, CA.
tenman: He always looks liek a gleeful child
Hawaii_Steve: Mr. Toler is still looking good in this film.
Rush g: Keye Luke was their uncle.
Godwinshelley3: License board d in Indiana might βnudgeβ the insurance into doing what we have been paying for since 1994
Rush g: Yes, GS?
Rush g: That would help for sure.
Louise: I actually have a liquid that hardens wood, but not like steel
Godwinshelley3: Saw Toler in a short subject on TCM
Rush g: Sheriff Mack.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Nudge? Sounds like a cattle prod would be appropriate, but hope that works, GS.
Hawaii_Steve: Aloha Godwinshelly. How are you doing?
Rush g: Yes, GS?
Rush g: What was it about?
Godwinshelley3: Called βOver the Counterβ
Rush g: Yes?
Rush g: About a pharmacy?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Love this sheriff. Like an intelligent “Tombstone”
Louise: Creepy lab assistant
Rush g: Yes, Mike!
Rush g: Interesting, GS!
Rush g: An entertainment short.
Godwinshelley3: Like making the nursery dept where women βcheckedβ their husbands and were tended to by dancing ladies
Mike n Rachel in DC: “You know me, Mack”. Hm. Makes one wonder…
Rush g: FUN, GS.
Louise: Experiments with puppets is a euphemism?
tenman: <munching popcirn, sipping margarits>
Rush g: Could be, Louise!
Godwinshelley3: And there was an announcer who made the womenβs dash to sales tables sound like sporting events
Mike n Rachel in DC: “Charlie! Stop experimenting with your puppet!”
Rush g: “Inmates”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Charlie senses aroma of rodent
Godwinshelley3: Big storm – 70 mph winds – just dropped in to say βhiβ

maskless angel & jade fox: We’re clean. I sanitize with Fox’s Jade Polish, available ONLY through special TV offers. Call now! Operators are standing by!
Rush g: No…just against jade.
Dona: Hi Angel
Hawaii_Steve: Only if you wear it in a Chan movie mystery.
maskless angel & jade fox: Does anybody really know what time it is in this movie?
Mike n Rachel in DC: As I was walking down the street one day…
Mr & Mrs Phil: Does anybody really care?

Mike n Rachel in DC: PMP: We are dating ourselves
Mr & Mrs Phil: Aloha Angel&Fox
maskless angel & jade fox: Aleutian to you too, Philses!
Rush g: Sheriff Mack has a quick wit.
Hawaii_Steve: Famous Honolulu detective, but working in DC. Hmm.
maskless angel & jade fox: A stikely lorry.
Mr & Mrs Phil: I was hoping my response would be recognized for what it was and not being rude M&R
Rush g: Eddie….I mean EDWARD…and BB arrive!
maskless angel & jade fox: The ol’ swingin’ doors. This is NEVER good.
Rush g: 22:50…
maskless angel & jade fox: Reminds me of The Rocky Horror opening.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Rachel is impressed that we are quoting Chicago songs
Rush g: “Go ahead, now, with your logic and explain this away from my nose.”
Rush g: Yes, Angel.
Louise: “social problem”
Rush g: π
Mike n Rachel in DC: “Produce nothing but silence.”
maskless angel & jade fox: My PHONE just shut down cuz i didn’t feed it any electricity, & is now spiteful. Will be a few minutes before it can be coaxed, or co-axed. Please play through, & we will meet you at the next corpse.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hope that is in the aphorisms Rush
Rush g: “Every time you open your mouth, you put in more feet than centipede.”
maskless angel & jade fox: Should those feet be converted to meters?
Dona: lol
Rush g: It’s in the “Other Worthy Statements,” Mike
Mr & Mrs Phil: Cue the can
Rush g: Yes!
Matt1: <tin can>
Rush g: TYSM…Matt.
Louise: Did Charlie know he was in there?
Mike n Rachel in DC: If the missing man is not missing…
Rush g: He must have found him just before this revelation.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Can one say that the missing man is found?
Rush g: Yes…found.
Rush g: “Just one happy family with murderer at center.”
Mr & Mrs Phil: Charlie sets him straight
Rush g: Yes he does.
Rush g: Mike, please say “hello” to Rachel!
Rush g: Phil….please say “helo” to Mrs. Phil!
Rush g: (or…hello)
Mr & Mrs Phil: Will do Rush. TYSM
Louise: Miss Graham sounds weird
Mike n Rachel in DC: She’ here. Very excited that “Does Anyone Really Know what Time it Is?” made a cameo appearance.
Mr & Mrs Phil: It always makes her smile when you say hello Rush.
Rush g: “Just made a tour of the victim’s interior.”
Rush g: One for her: π
Mike n Rachel in DC: Dr. Peabody. Is Mr. Sherman in, too?
maskless angel & jade fox: Just realized we failed to type in Rachel while hailing the distaff! Didn’t forget, but a stenographic ERROR BY A CERTAIN FOX WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS contributed to this shameful loss of face. Am heading for embassy now to turn in portfolio.
Hawaii_Steve: Dr. Peabody. Hey what’s up doc?
maskless angel & jade fox: Set the Wayback to bounce Pong-ly.
Rush g: Would that be ‘boy-dog” mike?
Hawaii_Steve: Corny, but it fit the situation.
Rush g: π
Louise: shameful angel
Rush g: Chan’s amused!
maskless angel & jade fox: Am covering face with a spare fox fur, to avoid paparazzi.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Rachel sez that Angel/Fox are always a joy to behold, masks or no. Please don’t worry about salutations for hidden couples.
Rush g: Sheriff Mack….not gentle!
maskless angel & jade fox: Fox actually sees this situation as a career opportunity. Thinks Field & Stream still have centerfolds.
Rush g: Fox! Be satisfied with a film studio for a namesake!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Of course they do, Angel. Those ferns…hubba hubba
Rush g: “He reach oversize decision with undersize brain.”
maskless angel & jade fox: MnRnRush: Thanks for your counsel. I’ll straighten Fox out. I turn in the time cards so i usually prevail in these disputes.
Louise: 5 minutes? Can’t wait
maskless angel & jade fox: Reddy Kilowatt is back on the job. What’s the “time”?
Rush g: Say it NOW!
Rush g: good to delay with such information!
maskless angel & jade fox: I’m slack & i’m proud!
Mike n Rachel in DC: 35:45
Mr & Mrs Phil: 35:55
Mike n Rachel in DC: 36:00
Rush g: “Never” didn’t make the cut!
Mr & Mrs Phil: 36:15
maskless angel & jade fox: Another tin can, huh?
Mr & Mrs Phil: cue the can
Matt1: tin can
Rush g: TYSM…Matt.
Matt1: Room wouldn’t let me again
maskless angel & jade fox: MIKE/MATT–which of you is the keeper of The Cans?
Hounder has joined this room
maskless angel & jade fox: H!!!
Rush g: Hounder!
Matt1: Hello Hounder!
Rush g: WELCOME!
Dona: Hi Hounder!
maskless angel & jade fox: Clap for the Hound Man!
Rush g: How are you and tour mother?
Mr & Mrs Phil: I’ll tell you they’re really stretching the plot plausability with this one.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Matt is the Maestro. I am but the humble understudy who takes over when he’s not here.
Rush g: (your)
Matt1: Mike gathers the cans, I kick them
maskless angel & jade fox: Ah so, Mike. So you have indeed flung when necessary.
tenman: The family resemblance between the Luke bros is eerir
tenman: “eerie”
Hounder: Hi.sorry I’m late. Mom and I were invited to neighbors for dessert and mom was excited about going.
Rush g: “If anyone want to live around here they got to do some fast running.”
Matt1: Very nice, Hounder
maskless angel & jade fox: Anything that excites Mom has gotta be good for America.
Mike n Rachel in DC: How fun, Hounder. Hope y’all had a good time!
Rush g: Sounds good, Hounder!
Rush g: Happy to hear that!
Mr & Mrs Phil: Commendable Hounder. Hope it was nice.
Mike n Rachel in DC: She came to get “the vase.”
Hounder: That’s what I think angel. Just pie and ice cream, but it was a different scene and he does have a scenic back yard.
Rush g: No “just” about it, Hounder!
Hounder: I try to do anything! She seems interested i .
Rush g: A very nice moment!
maskless angel & jade fox: M & M : Do we (you, plural) reuse tin cans? Or is a fresh one used for each shall-we-say situation? I can see plusses & minuses for each. But do our tin cans ultimately go for the war effort?
Dona: That is very sweet of you Hounder
Rush g: Puddle.
Rush g: Got Roth’s shoes wet.
maskless angel & jade fox: Lotta intrigue happens in those scenic backyards.
Rush g: But…”Dead Men Tell.”
tenman: Dead men don’t walk….but they TELL
Rush g: YES!
Rush g: π
Louise: I am also concerned about recycling those cans
Rush g: TM, I yield the great mind to you.
maskless angel & jade fox: Thanks, Louise! You’re no Axis Ally! A brew for the lady!
Rush g: Lloyd Archer.
maskless angel & jade fox: Not MORE GAS!
Louise: Gosh, no one liked the dead guy
Rush g: Louise, we NEED to recycle tonight!
maskless angel & jade fox: Soon to be Fallen Archer?
Rush g: A very busy night, can-wise!
Rush g: Yes, Angel!
maskless angel & jade fox: We’ll send Mitsubishi back to Zeroes.
maskless angel & jade fox: “Someone tried to kill me”—BO-ring!!
Rush g: Good thing CC’s coat was thickly woven!
Louise: Too many poison darts as murder weapon
maskless angel & jade fox: Details matter. Poison darts & poisoned art two different things.’
Rush g: Close calls could be boring, but Mr. Chan may beg to differ!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Charlie to Edward translation: Pay attention, dmiwit.
maskless angel & jade fox: They should try poisoned art. Next scene, rendezvous at museum.
tenman: why is Eddy in prison PJs?
Rush g: π
maskless angel & jade fox: tenman: Casual Mondays?
Rush g: An “Objet D’ART”, Angel?
tenman: lol
maskless angel & jade fox: This movie would be a fine place to cameo-in Fibber McGee’s closet.
Rush g: “If silence is golden, you are bankrupt.”
maskless angel & jade fox: Rush:
Dona: LOL
maskless angel & jade fox: Spirit cooking!
Louise: Zombie. Mantan would know about that!
maskless angel & jade fox: These guys had the License to Pun too!
Rush g: (Eddie: “Curiosity never killed a Chan.”) “No, but the Chan’s curiosity almost killed me!”
maskless angel & jade fox: Curiosity may not have, but, alas, alcohol was a bad ambush.
Rush g: Alarm lamp!
maskless angel & jade fox: Someday i want to sound alarums, with “u”‘s.
maskless angel & jade fox: There’s ALWAYS a secret panel.
Rush g: Actually, if your alluding to who i think you are, Angel, it was actually cigarettes that did the deed ultimately!
maskless angel & jade fox: I’LL BE OUT IN A MINUTE! It IS gas escaping! GO AWAY, come back 5 minutes!
maskless angel & jade fox: Do you have any Glade?
maskless angel & jade fox: Rush, i would hang head in shame but Fox is using the coatrail just now. So, the Big C?
Hounder has left this room
Rush g: Lost Hounder…
maskless angel & jade fox: Hounder! Hounder! Sound alarum!!
maskless angel & jade fox: Lassie! Go find Hounder!
