Matt1: Hello Rush!
Rush: Good evening, Matt!
Rush: How are you since I emailed you this morning?
Matt1: I noticed the two other email addresses you had…..
Rush: It feels good not to be arriving late!
Rush: It is taking my posts a long time to reach the board!
Matt1: One you had my name spelled wrong, so that wouldn’y have worked and the other addy was from when I first joined this group MANY years ago
Rush: Yes! I noticed that! I made the fixes!
Rush: THANK YOU!
Mike in DC has joined this room
Mike in DC: Hello gentlemen!
Matt1: No worries, glad to have you back, but happy to help
Rush: Hello, Mike!
Rush: Rachel is away tonight?
Matt1: Hello solo Mike!
Rush: Matt, I am so thankful for how you were available to help out!
Matt1: Always happy to do so
Mike in DC: Took her grandma to a day with her mother…grandaughter of the year award coming, I think.
Rush: AH!
Mike in DC: Good to see that Rush is here at lift-off time. Welcome back!
Rush: Grandmothers are a treasure.
Matt1: Sounds exciting Mike
Rush: Yes, summer school ended last week!
Rush: Feels good not to be fighting freeway traffic to get home after 5:00!
Mike in DC: This grandma is fantastic. Always in a good mood, etc.
Rush: nice!
Mike in DC: Rush–uck. Do you have traffic worries during the school year? DC is rough.
Godwinshelley2 has joined this room
Godwinshelley2: Hello all
Mike in DC: Hello GS2
Matt1: Hate traffic….always stressful….even driving to Disney!
Matt1: Hello GS!
Rush: Even when driving home before 3:00 things are tightening up!
Godwinshelley2: So are we properly “manned” at the ready?
Mike in DC:
Rush: Good evening, GS!
Rush: How are things for you tonight?
Mike in DC: Yes. We were just discussing “Rush” hour.
Rush: 🙂
Matt1: “properly”….hey, hey hey!
Matt1:
Godwinshelley2: A bit rushed – Uncle just passed and I’m planning getting a hotel room and meeting up with Mom
Matt1: So sorry for your loss, GS
Mike in DC: Sorry to hear that, GS. Hope the rest of the family are doing ok…
Godwinshelley2: Yes – Uncle Frank was quite a guy – and he managed to hang in there for years beyond what we expected
Rush: It looks like the automatic payment for our site host went through, although they have not sent out a verifying email message yet.
Rush: So, I am sort of relieved.
Mike in DC: So the lights will stay on for another month?
Matt1: Check’s in the mail?
Rush: The yearly payment.
Rush: debit card transaction.
Godwinshelley2: Ah – thank you for keeping us all together
Matt1:
Mike in DC: Simon Legree is at the door. He wants the rent money.
Rush: Good for another year!
Godwinshelley2: I noticed you partly changed the mail in the message – though you left the “L”
Godwinshelley2: email
Godwinshelley2: I improved it when I posted it on facebook
Rush: Louise, last week, copied ALL of the content for the site so we have an option if needed or desired!
Rush: She’s great with things tech!
Matt1: Not me!
Mike in DC: Chan will carry on.
Godwinshelley2: Your fancy weekly emails are a bit harder for me to copy and paste into facebook now with all those links.
Godwinshelley2: Yes Louise is great
Rush: GS…a minor miracle that that was my only mess-up!
Rush: 🙂
Rush: I can start emailing you the separate text.
Godwinshelley2: I can’t imagine what it is like to do that week after week – a big effoert
Rush: As w Word document?
Godwinshelley2: yes just the photo and the text either without mention of links below or copy the links as text into the message
Rush: If you want, i can send you this week’s.
Godwinshelley2: I already posted it yesterdaty
Mike in DC: Well, if Rush keeps an archive they can be re-used in future years. Maybe just some sprucing up and updating?
Godwinshelley2: Yes except for those crazy little details like email address or links
Mike in DC: Pesky things, those links.
Rush: Actually, you can copy the text which is posted at our Message Board, GS!
Matt1: How about copying it from our Message Board instead?
Godwinshelley2: And any discussion of things like new webpages that are Chan related
Rush: That is the simple text alone.
Matt1: Great minds
Rush: Great only at your end, Matt!
Godwinshelley2: I’ll look at it later and see if it would work. I usually do it from my cellphone – email copied to facebook
Godwinshelley2: Did you see the new page about Chan Sons on Facebook?
Matt1: No
Rush: Well, GS…if I can access that page without being on Facebook, I will, but, I boued out of those social media outlets more than a year ago.
Matt1: I’m cued for X-9
Godwinshelley3 has joined this room
Rush: Tired of the constant rancor on them!
Matt1: GS x 3!
Mike in DC: I’m seeing double!
Rush: Me “three.”
Mike in DC: Agreed, Rush. I also avoid social media as much as possible.
Rush: Yes.
Godwinshelley2: it’s not letting me copy the link
Rush: Also, I would hear from “friends” I never knew!
Rush: My email in-box would fill with them at times!
Mike in DC: Ugh.
Mike in DC: I had a run of Russian brides for a bit. That did it.
Godwinshelley2: https://www.facebook.com/ChanSonsLukeYungFong/
Matt1: We getting ready to start?
Godwinshelley2: There – can’t seem to do that from my iphone
Godwinshelley3 has left this room
Matt1: Who needs another bride, Mike?
Rush: But, GS…I thank you SO MUCH for doing what you do for the multitudes who DO use facebook! 🙂
Mike in DC: Not I. But they were trying to sell me a harem.
Godwinshelley2: Facebook is a bit more attractive to folks who haven’t found us yet
Matt1: Hmmmm
Godwinshelley2: Well there is the link to the Chan sons page
Godwinshelley2: https://www.facebook.com/ChanSonsLukeYungFong/
Rush: GS, the link works!
Rush: Thank you!
Godwinshelley2: Does make we wonder what about the daughters
Mike in DC: GS is our Director of Recruitment, I see. It looks like an interesting page.
Rush: maybe we can post that in our weekly announcement, if that is not too early.
Godwinshelley2: Just spreading the “gospel”
Matt1: Just “liked”
Godwinshelley2: I think it’s by an author who is working on a book about the sons
Matt1: That would be interesting
Rush: Speaking of the Chan daughters, first, through the help of Len, and then with a little further looking on my own, I found some nice postings at Amazon by Frances chan’s son!
Rush: Nice tid-bits!
Godwinshelley2: Ah NICE
Mike in DC: amazon.com?
Rush: look for “Meeting at Midnight” at Amazon, and then look through all the comments dating back a number of years.
Rush: yes.
Rush: Amazon.com
Rush: Well!
Rush: We should start our extra!
Rush: Plaes ready the online link!
Matt1: Ready here
Rush: ready, too.

Mike in DC: China!

Rush: Very good!
Rush: Keye Luke is prominently in this one.
Rush: “Ah Fong.”
Mike in DC: #3 Son?
Godwinshelley2: I thought the credits spelled it AB FONG – weird – will have to go back to look
Rush: nterestingly, AH FONG was the name of Benson Fong’s Los Angeles restaurant!
Rush: Sorry…
Rush: Back…
Mike in DC: Bach is following her?
Rush: Yes…Bach..or Balk…or, maybe…Bawk…
Mike in DC: Bach is now a prisoner.
Mike in DC: Where is Brahms?
Rush: I guess you could say he’s a “push-over.”
Cdirus: or Mozart?
Mike in DC: Precisely, CD.
Rush: Cute characters!
Mike in DC: Pin the tail on the donkey?
Rush: Mug shots?
Mike in DC: Apparently he doesn’t look enough like the dude they’re trying to impersonate.
Rush: Keye Luke has a nice “look” in this one.
Louise has joined this room

Cdirus: We’re supposed to get it tonight/tomorrow morning
Louise: Tonight are the Perseids, the meteor shower. Hope it is not cloudy.
Cdirus: It’s Ohio, ther
Rush: One of these days, I might be out nearer to all of you and will get to experience some of that.
Louise: Heavy rain and tornadoes!!!
Cdirus: It’s cloudy
Godwinshelley2: Yeah we are a bit more east of you
Rush: Cliffhanger moment coming…
Cdirus: NWS did say that a brief spin up tornado is possible tonight
Mike in DC: You’re not missing a lot, Rush. I think you definitely have the “good weather” thing.
Matt1: Not so secret
Mike in DC: Oh oh…
Godwinshelley2: Chapter 5 next week

Rush: “Who’s there?”
Louise: Bang!
Rush: The butler didn’t DO it…he almost GOT it!
libraryjim: Butler was lucky
Mike in DC: Mad scientist
Rush: Yes!
Louise: Crazy lab scene
Rush: bad guy either had bad aim, or meant to send him back inside!
Louise: Why did they take the masks off?
Cdirus: That’s what they make fume hoods for
libraryjim: so we could hear them
Rush: Interesting process: making wook as hard as steel.
Louise: Oh jim, that is too practical!
Mike in DC: cough
Rush: (wood)
Mike in DC: Love that the gas chamber is right next to the parlor.
Rush: yes, Mike.
Louise: I don’t think I have ever seen tis movie…
Rush: What we might expect from this eccentric inventor!
Phil: Was thinking the same thing Mike. Hope they have a good seal.
Rush: Yes, Louise?
Rush: We will be seeing Number FOUR Son, Edward…Eddie!
Louise: I must have missed it each year!!!~
Rush: This will be a treat for you!
Louise: Yes Rush.
Rush: Enjoy!
Rush: “You think of….ALMOST everything.’
Phil: What a SWELL guy.
Rush: Let’s make it easier: He does not trust ANYONE.
Mike in DC: It’s the fuzz.
Louise: He let him in!
Rush: (creak…)
Mike in DC: WTF
Rush: Bad guy slips in…
Rush: Rumble in the bushes…
Mike in DC: This is not a good security arrangement, guys
Phil: Intruder 1 Cop 0
Louise: Ah Hah! The ole switcherooo!
Rush: And, a “new” cop!
Rush: yes!
Louise: love the voice
Mike in DC: Good thing the uniform fit…
Rush: yes!
Rush: (Vroo00mmm….)
Rush: (creak…)
Mike in DC: Fail.
PaulM: that “cop” sounds like Chief Wiggums from The Simpsons
Rush: :0
Rush: I mean: 🙂
Rush: Quietly observes…
Rush: (boing…)
Mike in DC: Dude. The gas mask doesn’t work if you take it off…
Phil: Cue the can
Rush: Meanwhile, in the City….
Mike in DC: We seem to have a potential can situation…
Rush: Yes, Phil…after verification!
Matt1: BB!
Rush: “My personality always count in END.”
Phil: I recline corrected.
Louise: Eddie!
Matt1: Eddie!
Mike in DC: Edward.
Godwinshelley2: Eddie sounds like he wouldn’t ditch school like #1 and #2 sons
Rush: Yes…the bookworm of the family!
Louise: Strictly stratospheric!
Rush: Eddy is played by EDWIN Luke…Keye’s brother.
Mike in DC: Sturdy table…
Matt1:
Rush: TYSM, Matt…
Rush: Yes, Louise!
HonoluLou has joined this room
Matt1: Hello Lou!
Rush: LOU!
Phil: Wait what..yeah verified.
HonoluLou: Yes, Howdy!
Rush: Good evening to YOU!
Mike in DC: Hello Lou
Rush: How are you tonight, lou?
HonoluLou: Hi Mike.
Godwinshelley2: What area of town do you think the background is
Phil: Matt, you’re right on it tonight.
Godwinshelley2: Sheriff Mack
HonoluLou: Doing good, and you?
Rush: I believe it was meant to be somewhere in NYC.
Matt1: TYSM
Rush: Sheriff Mack.
Godwinshelley2: Is that “Tombstone”?
Rush: No, but he sure has a resemblance!
Godwinshelley2: He didn’t seem tall enough
Mike in DC: Sounds like him, but the face doesn’t match
Louise: You need a mask to go in there, unless you are one of the guys who go in there all the time…I give up on this logic.
Rush: Dry sense of humor.
Louise: Puppets???
Rush: Alan Bridge: Sheriff Mack
Godwinshelley2: Likes to employ relatives – can pay them cheap and promise them something in his will perhaps
HonoluLou: Just thought I’d stop by to say “Aloha” all. Hope you have a great night. Got to run. Ciao, Lou
Mike in DC: Ciao! Hope to see you again soon.
Rush: Slim Summerville: Sheriff [“Tombstone”] Fletcher
Godwinshelley2: Night HL
Rush: Good night, sir!
Matt1: Take care, Lou
Rush: Take care…
Mike in DC: What about that…wicked smile…policeman?
Rush: She sounds like the video juke box lady in “The Shanghai Cobra.”
HonoluLou has left this room
Mike in DC: Charlie smells a rodent
Louise: Weird dummies
Mike in DC: But where is the…JADE…mask?
Rush: Janet Warren:
Rush: The Jade Mask: Jean Kent
The Shanghai Cobra: Lorraine
Rush: Lorraine the juke box operator.
libraryjim: good ear, Rush, to be able to id here
libraryjim: her
Mike in DC: bzzzz
Godwinshelley2: Depending on the funeral arrangements for my Uncle – I may be missing next week
Rush: Is he riding on Pop’s coat tails?
Rush: GS, I am sorry to hear of your uncle’s passing…
libraryjim: I should be here next week, and then off for the next three or four for family activities. Should run through first three weeks of September
libraryjim: GS, my sympathies.
Rush: Understood, LJ.
Godwinshelley2: Thank you
Louise: Social problem
Mike in DC: We will miss both GS & LJ!
Rush: So, we learn here that Eddie is in college..if there were any doubt!
Godwinshelley2: What TYPE of murder have we got?
libraryjim: a murder without a corpse.
Rush: Prepare for a shocking revelation…
Godwinshelley2: So did the actor playing Eddie do many other roles?
Rush: He did a few more, but not in the CC series.
Rush: GSAP!
Mike in DC: Gross.
Rush: (GASP!)
Phil: He’s definitely dead NOW. Tin can for sure.
Mike in DC: Chan scrutinizes reactions…
Louise: That was interesting
libraryjim: huh. Not very well loved by his “friends”, eh?
Mike in DC: Agreed, Phil. Not much of a probationary period for that corpse.
Rush: Meeker’s voice is a little like that of jack Benny at times.
libraryjim: Oh Rochester!
Rush: “Not worth the trouble.”
Rush: LJ: 🙂
Mike in DC: I see we have finally dispensed with gas masks altogether.
Rush: Yes. it is okay to be without one for a short while…
Rush: But, to remain without for too long results in sickness or worse!
Mike in DC: Maybe this is the case of the Jade GAS mask?
Rush: 🙂
Louise: Jade gas mask would be cool
Rush: “Jade” sounds more exotic than “plaster”!
Rush: Nice vintage phone.
Mike in DC: I like this sheriff.
Rush: Me too. He’s pretty entertaining.
Mike in DC: “Completed a tour of the victim’s interior.”
Rush: I think that might be the Declaration of Independence on the wall of that office.
Rush: Background.
Rush: “You people just don’t enter into the spirit of things…”
Rush: CC used “was” to describe Officer Kimball.
Mike in DC: The truth will out.
Rush: Not a kind remark by Sheriff Mack a few lines ago!
Rush: (Knock…)
Godwinshelley2: You mean “why would he see you?”
Rush: Yes.
Mike in DC: Charlie: Merely stating obvious
Mike in DC: If honorable shoe fit…
Rush: Yes.
Rush: Tell NOW!
Louise: 5 minutes?
Rush: Never wait five minutes!
Mike in DC: Hm. This doesn’t seem like a plan for long life.
Rush: It can be an “eternity.”
Louise: I love that Birmingham just stands ther and watches
Phil: Cue the can
Rush: Yes…
Mike in DC: Tincan supply taking a beating in this one
Matt1:
Rush: TYSM, Matt…
Mike in DC: Might be time to order another case or two
Louise: These 3 babes are suspicious
Rush: Yes!
Mike in DC: Oooh
Rush: Enough suspicion to spread around that household!
Mike in DC: Eddie got promoted to butler.
Rush: BB gets body detail, again!
Rush: Yes, Mike!
Rush: This is the first adventure where BB is officially a part of the Chan team.
Louise: She is always on the verge of confessing
Rush: Now she becomes assertive!
Rush: “Murder know no law of ‘relativity.'”
Mike in DC: Chan is unimpressed with tough talk
Louise: Eeeew. Don’t tough
Louise: touch
Rush: As a kid, we had a couple of surplus Dictaphones like the one we see here.
Mike in DC: Fortunately it was just water
Phil: Indeed Mike.
Rush: Yes, Mike!
Rush: Strange combination, to be sure!
Louise: DARTS!
Rush: Light and bell.
Mike in DC: Since there are no pets in the house he was pretty safe.
Rush: Lloyd Archer.
Phil: Yeah but it looked kinda foamy and yicky.
Louise: Awful family!
Rush: VERY odd family.
Mike in DC: Any relation to the guy in the Maltese Falcon?
Rush: Eddie asleep on the job!
Godwinshelley2: He would have licked his lips and gone up there with you.
Mike in DC: Charlie almost got perforated
Rush: Which guy, Mike?
libraryjim: like a pin cushion
Mike in DC: Mr. Archer. Wasn’t Bogart’s partner Myles Archer?
Godwinshelley2: Yeah – Bridget shot him on Post street
libraryjim: and then there was Lew Archer, PI
Rush: AH! I get it now!
Godwinshelley2: That’s what the licked his lips quote was from
Phil: Eddie needs slapped around a bit. Just to help him stay awake.
Mike in DC: Right, GS!
Louise: Pajamas loud enough
Godwinshelley2: Eddie’s pajamas are NOT as loud as #1 son’s
libraryjim: without you make noise
Rush: Yes.
Mike in DC: We found the corner of Bush and Stockton where the murder “actually” happened. There’s a cute bronze plaque there.
Rush: Zebra-like liks Pop’s borrowed ones in “Egypt.”
libraryjim: neat
Godwinshelley2: If silence is golden, you are bankrupt.
Rush: “If silence is golden, you are bankrupt.”
Rush: 🙂
Mike in DC: Eddie needs the dragon robe to accessorize the outfit.
Rush: You beat me to it, GS!
Louise: Zombie reference!
Rush: Yes.
Godwinshelley2: Fast typing background
libraryjim: But the Chan curiosity almost killed me.
Rush: Some good “Birminghamisms” in this one.
Mike in DC: Yes. The plot is so-so, but the sheriff and some of the dialog is very fun.
Louise: Yes Rush, like Chan’s aphorisms
Rush: I have said it for years, but we need to start collecting these statements by BB!
libraryjim: agreed!
Rush: yes, louise!
Mike in DC: Maybe he should have a section in the family home, Rush?
libraryjim: He’s got some great lines
Godwinshelley2: Might need an intern to look into those
Louise: I’d enjoy that list, Rush
Mike in DC: We need a Chan Family grad student!
Rush: That might be our Eddie.
Rush: If anyone would be a grad student, it would probably be him.
Mike in DC: I have a few GAs. Maybe we could add some research hours.
Godwinshelley2: While they catalog the music used in Monogram films perhaps
Rush: Yes, Mike!
Rush: Chan holds onto the recordings correctly.
libraryjim: I worked as docent at a museum once where they had a phonograph like that one
Rush: “Thirty days hath September, June, and August…”
Godwinshelley2: My aunt has one that plays cylindars
Mike in DC: Let me guess. No gas mask.
Louise: Take her out of there
Rush: Yes, LJ?
Rush: What did that museum specialize in?
libraryjim: it was cool, but it would have been cooler if they would have played it once in a while.
Rush: There was also an accompanying machine that would “erase” unwanted recordings.
Rush: It wouls shave down the surface.
Rush: (would)
libraryjim: It was one of the oldest houses in Tallahassee, preserved to look as it did in the 1920s-30s. It was from the steps of that house that the Emancipation Procamation was read after the Civil War
Rush: Interesting, LJ!
Rush: Pretty historic place.
libraryjim: Definitely.
Mike in DC: My mom was a secretary back in the day. There are some old family photos of her using one of those with earphones and typing.
Mike in DC: Very cool LJ.
Rush: CLOSE your mouth!
libraryjim: There’s the mask
Louise: DART!
Rush: Too late!
Phil: Cue the can
Matt1: Can’t tin can
Matt1: Ugh
libraryjim: I like that sheriff. He has some good lines of his ow
libraryjim: own
Rush: Agreed, LJ.
Mike in DC: Round round look around, I look around…yeah
Rush: “Good evening, officer…”
Rush: Off duty.
Matt1:
Louise:
Rush: Can time…
Rush: TYSM, Matt…
Phil: i quit
Matt1: Must have bought darts in bulk
Rush: Our official count: FOUR?
Mike in DC: Costco has good deals on lethal darts, I hear.
Rush: 🙂
Louise: I hate those dummies
Rush: Jerry Mahoney!
Godwinshelley2: Knuckhead Smith
Rush: (Boing…)
Rush: GS: 🙂
Mike in DC: Sort of like a giant Pez dispenser
Louise: That is some bad breath on that dummy. It can knock over a book!
Rush: Actually it was SMIFF!
Rush: I used to watch that show as a kid!
Rush: Remember the secret password, GS?
Godwinshelley2: Did you know Paul Winchell of Jerry Mahoney fame was an Acupuncturist!! He even wrote a couple books on it
Godwinshelley2: Know I don’t rush
Rush: Yes, AND he invented some sort of artificial heart valve, I believe!
Godwinshelley2: Ah – phonetically
Rush: “Scaddy-waddy-doo-doo.”
Godwinshelley2: Wow – won’t remember that
Rush: 🙂
Mike in DC: Strong?
Louise: She has big shoulders
Rush: The EAR!
Godwinshelley2: 1940s were BIG on shoulder pads
Rush: yes, GS!
Rush: Meeker!
Mike in DC: Meeker?
libraryjim: That’s how Holmes saw through Irene Adler’s disguise
Mike in DC: Speaking of masks?
Rush: BB grabbed him!
Rush: Archer is Meeker!
Godwinshelley2: Ears are different – after using hundreds of folks ear for Acu-Detox – I’ve noticed that on my own
Rush: “Where is Meeker?”
libraryjim: “try and find out”
Rush: Victim number five.
Godwinshelley2: Liked BB’s reaction to “only sane person in this house”
Rush: “I am the ONLY sane person in this house.”
Rush: A sure sign of…otherwise…
libraryjim: yep
Mike in DC: I think I see an insanity defense in the works here
Louise: They are always secretly married…
Rush: Yes.
Godwinshelley2: So she doesn’t have to testify against husband?
Rush: I think that might not be necessary, GS!
Rush: Enough other evidence!
Mike in DC: I wonder if there are any darts left around…
Godwinshelley2: What do they do with the 5 dead bodies?
Rush: Don’t walk around that house barefoot!
