Rush: yes! 9 years earlier, she was in the Oland film!
Mike n Rachel in DC: I prefer the passive-aggressive tense
Louise: No Marcia please
Mike n Rachel in DC: Surely that was a stage name, Angel

Rush: Matt awaits official verification…
Nothere: Considering how suspiciously seversl nonkillers have acted in these films God. Someone just might say that. It’s almost like they know they need to be red herrings.
Matt1: <tin can>

Mike n Rachel in DC: I wonder if he had to practice that…
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: These girls DO get ALL TEN of Fox’s & my stars. Thedy EARNED their $1.31 flat salary!
Rush: I guess Jimmy gave San Toy his phone number.
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: BUY WAR BONDS.

dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Oh, Louise, you GOTTA see J.E.!!
Nothere: Well when you get surrounded by six girls do you want to give up the shft. Assuming your not God or Racheal:)
Rush: PERFECT, lou!
HonoluLou: Doing good Rush, Thanks. Was talking to an old friend in Tel Aviv. She’s in lockdown and so it was a compassion call :).
Nothere: Or Louise.
HonoluLou: No, No, Not up there!
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: H’lu Lou, bienvenido!
Mike n Rachel in DC: True, NT. Jimmy, on the other hand…
Rush: We always start at :15 after the hour, so, in that way you ann “find us”!
Rush: (can)
HonoluLou: Hi All. Charlie (Sydney) looks pretty good for his last film.
Mike n Rachel in DC: (not tin)
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Sheriff makes the mental note if he does find Marcia, he can put her in the cruiser trunk & release her in his kitchen w/ none of her “friends” objecting.
Louise: Physiotherapist
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Mr. Cold King?
Rush: Another “undocumented” case! “The March Case.”
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Try searching the cabanas with no tildas, just plain ca-ban-uhs.

dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: This was how the Bunny Hop started, right?
Louise: POP!
Mike n Rachel in DC: He looks a little thinner…
Rush: Diagonal lines ….
Mike n Rachel in DC: …but still has the “you idiot” look for Jimmy down pat.
Nothere: There a man a the window? Laby there are six downstairs.
Rush: Anyone else see them?
Rush: Yes, Mike.
Rush: Yes, NT!
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: I like the sheriff’s boots. Mrs. Weeble’s from Murder At The Krautlympics, smuggled out past the gate guard after production wrapped?
HonoluLou: Don’t do it, Jimmy!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Well, the Berlin police seemed to have a few lapses…probably got away in the excitement
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: THIS is where Jimmy & Birmingham invent the Bunny Hope, right?
Louise: Off to get popcorn: back soon
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Bunny HOP!! Geez, Louise!!
Rush: Took her 9 years to smuggle into this one, Angel!
Rush: Whenever we see BB in a room with suspended netting….
HonoluLou: Did Birmingham borrow a line from Lou Costello, “Jimmy, Oh Jimmy (Chip Oh Chip)?
Rush: Sweating…..
Mike n Rachel in DC: Would be fun to see a compilation of BB’s best scenes of this type
Nothere: Well she had to lie low to avoid immigration.
Rush: Could be, Lou!
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Rush: !!! Mrs. Weebs strikes me as the type wgo’d have lifted it all, Johnny Cash “One Piece At A Time”-style.
HonoluLou: Or is it “Chic, Oh Chic”?
Rush: I love these bits here.
Nothere: You mean oh Chick Lou. And that’s bunk. That’s what Im trying to say. That his bunk.
Rush: He almost sees trhe intruder.
Rush: But knows he’s there.
HonoluLou: No…haha, that right. It’s the bunk!
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Mrs. Weeble IS a concern. I have determined this far; she shall EITHER never work in my studio, or she will head gate security. I am checking into rolling pin permits.
Mike n Rachel in DC: OK. This is one of his top efforts
Rush: An improvised moment there.
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: HonoLou—I expect the bunk to be debunked before long.
Nothere: Ah the old net chat of peekaboo
Nothere: cheat even
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Throw buyer into cellar.
Rush: He “clipped” Birmingham.
Rush: The attacking arms!
Mike n Rachel in DC: San Toy takes a spill
Rush: Look for a lousy matador!
HonoluLou: A&F…ain’t it the truth!
Nothere: Beware the CAPE OF DEATH!
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: NEAT SCREAMS, as Walter Tetley (as Leroy Forester, Gildy’s (gesundheit!) nePHEW) once said.
Rush: 🙂
Rush: YES!
HonoluLou: Remember this question from a few years ago:
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: You smell ether ore.
Rush: 🙂
HonoluLou: Who was the first actor that you recall seeing as Charlie Chan?
Warner Oland 35%
Sidney Toler 61%
Roland Winters 3%
Other 1%
Rush: And…on the beach the next morning….
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Declare an embassy & call peaceful demonstrators.

HonoluLou: Rush, 5 years: Sep 2005.
Louise: How many times does Jimmy dies in this story
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: All the world loved a two-piece bathing suit, even when the tops were made of fox fur.
Rush: Toler for me too.
Nothere: Nope I never saw that question Lou. But I vote Sydney.
tenman: Toler also
Louise: Toler and still my favorite. I will miss him
Rush: Maybe we should re-submit it one day.
HonoluLou: NOTH…me too. Toler.
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: The School of Hard Experience: Good old S.H.E.
HonoluLou: Rush, I agree. In 2021.
Rush: So far, I believe we have not repeated a Poll question in 17 years.
Nothere: Oh come on BB play the victim.
HonoluLou: Wow Rush. Then let’s keep it going!
Rush: maybe it’s time to repeat some!
Nothere: Ah but can you answer this question Rush. How many polls have you had ove 17 years.
HonoluLou: Look at those girls clothing…how decadent!
Rush: I think Jimmy spotted San Toy .
Rush: Yep.
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Rush, among the results of eternal vigilance are variety. You should receive identical bags of quarters for one-half of eternity.
Rush: “Nothing in the bag….”
Nothere: Look at the one on the rights pluning neckline….perverts. Racheal slap mike:)
Rush: “It’s not a head or anything…”
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: I told the laundry my duck pants were soiled & they said they didn’t want to know about my dirty duck.
HonoluLou: Nothere. See my November 1st blog at http://www.thepostmanonholiday.com to answer that question (about how many questions). It’s over 200!
Mike n Rachel in DC: The suits are getting skimpier…
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Don’t touch me there! That is my No-No Square!!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Must be a full moon, Louise
HonoluLou: “She must have challenged the supernatural, unarmed with sword of truth”!
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Or NOT? Did earlier tolling of tin cover this Marcia moment also?
Rush: In the distance, i saw a pelican dive into the water!
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: THAT was MY pelican!
Rush: AH!
HonoluLou: WoW Rush! Good eye.
Rush: First time I noticed that.
Rush: There was that nice shelf on the wayy!
Rush: Love it!
HonoluLou: I saw brush on the ground!

dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Teach a pelican to fish & he’ll be in movies almost a century later.
HonoluLou: I saw sand too!
Rush: If that were Lee….
Rush: SMACK!
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: I see a BUM!
Nothere: The bushs have more clothes than some of the girls t the beach.
HonoluLou: In Hawaii if you’re not “Da Kine” your not local.
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Eva Peron would have been great in any of these roles.
Rush: That looks like the robe the killer wore when the first victim met her doom.
Nothere: Well not only am I not Da Kine Im not here.
Rush: We got a glimpse of it.

dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Definitely headed for Congress, Mrs. W. is.
Rush: GS: AH!
Louise: GS: Are you watching Lovecraft Country on HBO?
Rush: OLd Cole King
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: GS, if only Lovecraft could have sat in the cabanyas where this was concocted. Weeblism would be different today.
Rush: Was a fragile old thing…
Godwinshelley2: I found an old hardcover book that used to belong to my dad when he was younger. He had violently torn out ONE Story! I HAD to look up that story – turned out to be “Rats in the Walls”
HonoluLou: Rush, that was on the luggage.

Rush: (poke…)
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Indiana is so flat i
Godwinshelley2: So I say “Thanks, Dad” for introducing me to Lovecraft the author

HonoluLou: Heck. I don’t blame her!
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: Tell them to buy war bonds.
Rush: Not really that bad a job….
Godwinshelley2: I guess this isn’t the Peplum movie. I seem to remember it was a Monogram with alot of women in it. There was a dark suit one of the women was wearing that had the infamous Peplum. Maybe next week.
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: That’s pure Weeblism for you. I’m glad Mar-see-ya didn’
Rush: Again….
dangerou$ angel & foxxxxx: didn’t have to see THIS.
Godwinshelley2: Shouldn’t someone get an ambulance
