Hello, Droog. Look closely at the UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN clip.....closely.....closely.....you feel yourself getting calm and relaxed....all male aggression and violence has left your body.... (this is the film, not P&P or GWTW or CD with Sam the Pickle Man,, that will turn you (as Dolly Parton says so eloquently in NINE TO FIVE) from a rooster to a hen with remarkable alacrity) Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48

Hey, whippersnapper! I guess I'm happy that a lot of the t.v. and movie nostalgia of my youth can be so easily accessed by our wonderful new computer age. I'm not a Luddite, you know, but I do love my pens and pencils and the feel of a real book in my hands. I used to rail against cell phones but now that I have one I can't live without it, but if I may say so, I'm a considerate and responsible owner -- I don't go blaring my personal life in a public place.for all to hear. There's just no PRIVACY AND QUIET anymore in this day and age. Too much noise, I can't hear myself THINK. There are a lot of warm blondes -- Joan Blondell, Jean Harlow, and so many more that my little brain is not accessing at the moment. These women would not only not be snippy, but they'd be patient and loving and loyal. Yes, they can smartmouth you with a wisecrack, but underneath they are true blue.

I don't like raisins in cereal because they look like flies. I don't like raisins in anything because not only do they resemble David Hedison, but they taste like.....well, it's too disgusting to even say. Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48

Fiddler crab dee dee.

Stupid me -- I didn't know that Pappy directed TOBACCO ROAD. I saw it years ago but always remembered Gene's writhing. I wouldn't have thought Ford could be so upfront with the sexuality that way.

Rusty the plumber came by again today. I was so happy to see him. He deftly repaired my kitchen drain. Then he went into the bathroom to wash his hands and told me that my toilet needed replacing because it was cracked. He'll say anything to see me again.

My mystery creature could indeed be anything -- even Frank! FG -- were you renumerating my list because YOU are the adorable scuttling puppy-dogish pseudo-crustacean thingie that followed me down Glades Road?? You meet all the criteria, except I don't know if you have grasshopper hind legs.

I can't thank all you guys enough for your interest and help in this MYSTERY!! I'll stop pestering you with this until I come up with some concrete information to share. The search continues.

Hi, Sandy! I love the Potter one too. Who knew Jeremy could be so funny? They did a GWTW spoof that I posted last month but I don't remember what thread it's on. (it was when GWTW was playing on TCM) In that one Jennifer looks amazingly like Vivien Leigh, lol..

OMG, you mentioned The New Yorker magazine. I used to read it all the time; now, I never do, I don't know why. I loved the movie reviews, the trenchant, sophisticated cartoons, and probably most of all, those town-and-country-ish ads. What a changed world we live in now..... I'm glad they're not online. I'll check that Godard (and Truffaut) article out, thank you very much.

I've often wondered if blondes have more fun. I wouldn't know. I thought about being one for most of my teenage years and even beyond, but I'm just not the blonde type however much I might want to be. My Scotsman didn't look anything like Sean Connery or Ewan MacGregor. He was, however, a look-a-like of that actor who played Golly the ghilly on MONARCH OF THE GLEN. What exactly is that carnival trick that allows Molly to get "zapped" by electricity? Can you or someone explain it to me? Frank, does the smell of alcohol make you break out in a sweat, or is it only me? Be careful, I'm a crotchety Baby Boomer who misses her old Selectric typewriter, a world without cell phones, and Officer Joe Bolton introducing The Three Stooges.

I think when the low-carb craze hit, Mr. Potato Head took some hits. But now he's coming back into the diet food fold, just without the butter and sour cream.

What I saw didn't look anything like the horseshoe crab you posted, but it was as large as a small dog.

NO, NOT A TURTLE!!!! I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!! (whew -- excuse me, I'm getting all verklempt over this) How can I describe this thing?? I can honestly say I've never seen anything like it in my life. I don't smoke, drink, do drugs, nor am I a mental case with hallucinations. And I'd like to think that everybody knows I'm not just indulging in some weird overlong joke. I've GOT to find a picture of it SOMEWHERE, but so far, nothing matches up.

My last romantic entanglement has probably gone back to Glasgow, Scotland. I hope the Loch Ness monster swallows him up. You are entitled to think Ali is attractive. "Neil Klugman" (Richard Benjamin) finds out the hard way what a pain in the butt she really is, in GOODBYE, COLUMBUS.. There are no snippy women on these boards. That is your imagination. You must regard it all as a nightmare, Mr. Carlisle. Come, let me drive you to the hospital. Leave yourself in my care. You can trust me completely. Sincerely, Lilith Ritter

You have got me beat in the lounging envelope department, but I just bought the same Woman's World Magazine two times in a row now in the space of a week. (they all have similiar covers) I'm shamefully deficient in Godard: l've seen BREATHLESS and ALPHAVILLE and that's about it. Can't remember the latter too well. I never thought the words "Polish plumber" and "sex" would go together, but they sure do now!

Thank you so much for the Pagnol information; I'd forgotten he'd written the plays as well.

Here are some characteristics about the creature that I am 100 per cent sure about: 1. He was "friendly" and docile. 2. He seemed responsive and followed me like a puppy. 3. He had no spidery legs that were spread out. 4. I could feel him "looking" at me. 5. He had a shell that didn't cover him completely. 6. He seemed crustacean in appearance, but not like a traditional crab.

My creature had his face in the front, not in the middle like a regular crab. There was nothing spidery about it -- he only had the giant hind leg and I forgot what he had for mobility up front. He was walking as I walked, but I don't know what with. He was big and round and the middle was white. He was like a butterball turkey in the middle. I know I just cannot do justice to how this thing looked. He just doesn't resemble ANYTHING I've seen in photos. What sort of crustacean this is, is beyond me. I say "butterball turkey" because his "stomach" area was fat and stuffed, like there was a lot of "meat" on him in that area. He is of course nothing like a turkey, I just am finding it REAL HARD trying to convey his appearance. Any marine biologists out there? Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48
