HAHAHAHA Oh how adorable! A puppy with a lobster costume. You're trying so hard, here's a kiss -- SMACK. Go to sleep now and dream of my whatzis. The crab creature, that is.

Thank God it wasn't a lepus. They multiply like rabbits. I don't live far from my local library, so as it was a fine, not-too-hot day, I walked there, got my books, and was strolling back down Glades Road. All of a sudden I see this thing in the middle of the sidewalk. Now there are homes and bushes alongside the route. It must have crawled out from these bushes. It was Toto terrier-size, in the shape of a helmet or armadillo or Volkswagon. It was a crustacean, with a shell that didn't cover it completely. I can remember the eyes, or what passed for them, "looking" at me, but I didn't feel threatened. I stood cooing at it for a while. This being South Florida, there was nobody else walking around but plenty of people driving by looking out their windows at it. I just couldn't figure out what the hell it was. At least in Chicago I remember one time coming home very late at night, I saw a possum sitting placidly atop a fence near my home; this was startling, but at least it was recognizable. But this lobster-crab whoozis just completely blows my mind. With alligator mating season upon us, frankly I'm more concerned about the leathery critters coming out of the water and mingling among us, to find a reptile Ms.Right. I only hope my sweet crustacean is still alive and not in some gator's stomach. Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48

Awwwww, how sweet. I dated a short cute guy in Chicago who looked like that but no, it's not my creature.

I'm telling you, this thing had the sweetest "vibe" going on around it. Absolutely nothing creepy about it, despite its bizarre appearance. It seemed like it might have been someone's pet but I can't imagine anyone having a giant crab walking around the house. Although I know a lot of my married friends might dispute that.

THAT'S MY LANDLADY!!!!!

Jane Austen is not stiff Briish society stuff -- her novels are realistic and offer vibrant characters and acerbic social commentary! I'd check her out if I were you. See Whit Stillman's METROPOLITAN to understand the importance of her work. You don't like Gary Cooper? This is not super-duper. You don't want to see Ms. Greer in CHIPS or P&P? Away with ye to walk the plank!

Pamela Tiffin is Ingrid Bergman by comparison.

I'm going crazy trying to describe this creature. I might need an extra 4,000 posts to do that, LOL

NOTHING at those sites resemble it. Mine didn't have legs sticking out. It wasn't an itty-bitty creature that you stick in a fish tank -- this was fairly large, almost like a small dog. God, WHAT WAS IT??????

HANGMAN'S HOUSE looks really fascinating, with a lot of Dieterle-like touches. Pamela Tiffin is a way better actress than the one I resemble.

We all keep our naughty thoughts to ourselves. Although I admit to a fleeting fantasy of being a bunny rabbit chasing Stuart Whitman. But not killing him, if you know what I mean. Oh, the shame of it...... I must divest you of this UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN delusion. Frankly, it's basically PAP. (not your delusion but the film) Costume dramas can be very emotionally potent. And MANLY. I am thinking not only of P&P but Ford's DRUMS ALONG THE MOHAWK. Did you see Greer in GOODBYE MR. CHIPS? A lovely performance. I still say the worst actress of all time unfortunately looks a bit like me. Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48

Yes, I can now see your Hitch connection. Although what you don't share (thankfully) is imo the Master's, shall we say, perverseness? (i.e., he seems to revel in the fact that Ingrid has to have sex with Claude Rains, and, didn't he once say he wanted the camera to focus like a laser on Tippi Hedren's face as (I'll clean up his alleged remark) Mark is asserting his marital rights?) UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN is NOT ALLURING!!!! It is rather condescending towards the female of the species. Elizabeth Bennett is a WONDERFUL ROLE MODEL for us! Feisty, intelligent, opinionated, and Greer is MAGNIFICENT!!!! I want to grab that Oscar away from Ginger. No, not Gary Cooper. Dana Andrews. Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48

NOW all those multiple posts show up. Yes, sir, it certainly DOES have a winsome quality, or did I say that a million times?

It wasn't Mattel I can assure you.

This thing had a winsome quality that can only be attributed to the spark of real life, not Mattel.

What exactly is your Hitch side? I don't think I want to know, but tell me anyway. Do you go around telling women they're apt pupils? Take Miss G.'s and my word for it -- P&P is like THE DIRTY DOZEN compared to the ultra-girlie I'm in romantic Italy and a gorgeous local is making love to me but I still don't know what to do with my life and there are serendipidous signs all around me if only I knew how to access the wisdom of my intuition and even my landlord is a hunk, in UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN. Your male chromosomes might actually change while watching it. I'm glad you didn't ask me who I really look like. I've been told (and I've mentioneed it last year on a thread, to nightwalker) I resemble one of the worst actresses in the world. (she's so bad, she even makes Katherine Ross look animated)

In addition to being a great star and one of the handsomest men on screen, for me Gregory had the kindest and most gentle brown eyes I've ever seen on an actor.

Strange, I just responded to your latest post about the remote controlled toy, saying that this thing had a winsomeness that could only come from the spark of real life, not Mattel. Maybe the third time will be the charm, so here goes.....

No, because this thing had a WINDSOMENESS that could only come from the spark of real life, not Mattel.

No, this thing had a WINSOMENESS that only the spark of life can endow, not Mattel.

I've concluded that P&P is a man flick compared to UTTS.

Whoa!! Come to Mama!!! Rusty who????? LOL Ah, what do the French know about good plumbing and good plumbers! There are some Polish plumbers in UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN. I wish I had Diane Lane's house "problems": Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48

LOL, no, because I didn't want to "Scream, scream!" to get rid of it. It was a sweet, benign crustacean presence. Really. (Vincent took a trip, not me). I am alarmed to say that none of the crab picture gallery in your excellent site resembles my creature. And yet I am sure that what I saw was some sort of crab. To quote Bela in MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE: "Will....my....search....never....end??"

Unfortunately my plumber didn't look like Ben Allison. Neither did the crab, the species of which I STILL cannot identify, even with the Wiki Crab Site. My plumber's name is Rusty. He gave me back hot water, but said my kitchen drain was leaking badly so he has to come back next week to fix it. There's a punch line in there somewhere. Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48

LOL true.
