Now as for the violin, do you prefer Heiffitz, Perlman, Jack Benny, John Garfield or William "Golden Boy" Holden (as opposed to Guinn "BIG BOY" Williams)??? Well... to be honest... I am not as up on my violinists as I should be to answer you question... "William Holden"??????? Jack Benny MIGHT be a good choice for the "humor" angle we need (instead of the sappy stuff), but in truth...I am more of an "Orange Blossom Special" kinda gal.. How about... this kid... (she even appears to have her own back up band.. and... hey... we may need a more celebratory tune playing in the background now anyway.... given the recent promising announcements) :-) I know Ricky tends to have a more "latin" flair in his music... but I bet even HIS toes were tapping.

It'll be worth nothing on e-BAY, Well THAT would be the LAST thing I would ever do ... as technophobic as I tend to be... I have never even looked at an ebay sight... my brain would likely melt... Ha. PS... Jokes are good... humor makes the "rotten" in life a little less... well... "rotten".HEY... maybe laughter IS the best medicine.. (for that pandemic I mentioned earlier) Maybe not a total "cure", but it can at least help to lessen the general malaise brought on by continued exposure to all those germs. Besides, Ricky would not want us to be sad...

Hello Molo... I love this film.. thanks for the screencaps too. I hope they have a lovely room with a scenic view ... I feel the need for a rest... So long as I don't get VETA'S check in treatment...

Where would Ricky Ricardo go to get inoculated against this pandemic? Sadly... there is no known cure.. at least for now... perhaps someday. Do you love mythology? Mythology movies? As a kid they were among my favorites... I can't say for sure I have seen Hercules... but I think so... I don't know how well Ricky could do against a Hydra.... but I am not sure that is the monster of the day he was up against anyway... The more I think about it... It is likely more a one-headed but MULTI-armed critter... a la.... Poor Ricky... I don't think he knew WHAT hit him... And PS... I NEED to get the now playing guide... but I am such a lame brain about checking tv schedules... I would likely forget to read it until I was a month behind.... However... an autographed copy would be a collector's item for sure. :-) I should be greedy though and ask you to get EVERYBODY'S signature... and then in my old(er) age I can look back and say... I once used to "ramble" with some of these very fine folks... and a few other fine folks whose faces I may never know... but who still had a lot of fine (and funny) things to say... those were the days. (Is it just me or did some sappy violin music just start playing in the background?) And with that, my friends... my attitude must be put back in it's little cage now... lest I get on my soapbox and go off on a rant... and have to be led out of here for disturbing the peace. A very pleasant evening folks.. and best wishes for a happy day tomorrow...

Are you watching "The Brain That Wouldn't Die"?? I SHOULD be... it does seem to be a fitting title given the times we are living in at the moment. but alas... I didn't know that it was on until my husband started watching something else... tough break for me... (I should try harder to hide that remote control before he gets home from work) :-) Bette's Regina is a fierce one to reckon with. She does seem to be able to carry off a role like that very well... consider TLF officially on my ever-growing wanna see list. What we battle is small...very small indeed. Yes.. small.. but still able to multiply rapidly and cause tremendous problems if left unchecked... kind of like germs. (do you think this could be a pandemic?)

HELLO Miss Maven!!! Condolences on your too full PM box... ( I just cleared out a few of those myself today... we can call it "Spring Cleaning") that just depends on what you're farmin' Well.. I think whatever has been getting farmed around here lately... there is an over abundant and seemingly never ending supply of fertilizer... which may explain the bumper crop. The Little Foxes. Great movie by Bette Davis Hard to believe I know... but I don't think I've ever gotten to see that one. ( I know.. what a surprise). I am going to have to add it to my list now for sure... you surely denigrate the species of foxes. Foxes are sly, smart. They?re great. Now if you mentioned hyenas, or vultures or some other jackal that picks at the bones and leftovers left behind...then ya got yerself a metaphor. I think you are right.. I hearby humbly apologize to all foxes everywhere now and for all eternity... Perhaps instead I should have said something like a Wile E. Coyo... wait!! That Jackie Favell stole my thunder... COYOTES in the chicken coop.. THAT is a more likely "varmit"... :-) But maybe instead of farming... we ought to talk... baseball... (PS.. this was supposed to be my reply to your PM from earlier today... but I could not get it to "send" due to your current "overload" status... so.... Here is what I was going to send you... now for all the world to see ) *This just in: There is NO joy in Mudville folks... The Mighty Casey didn't strike out.. Instead he just got all his homeruns taken away during the game... because the other team was a VERY poor sport AND the umpire was BLIND.* Sad but true... but even so...try to keep you "chin up" .. Because remember... "There's NO crying in baseball." :-)

(Not to mix too many metaphors here....) If Ricky IS gone forever... This is probably the only known case of an entire Chicken coop being removed because of all the (many, numerous, prolific, unfathomable, and inexcusable number of) foxes. PS... I am not a gambling woman... but what are the odds... THIS thread will still be here... even five minutes from now....

chatting here with you good people has been a mighty gracious thing. Tis YOU who are gracious dear gal... a very pleasant evening to you, Miss Goddess. :-)

Run Away!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha and.... HA!!! Oh my golly Molo... THAT is the funniest thing I have seen since... oh... who am I kidding.. I have seen a lot of FUNNY things today... but that is the funniest ha ha thing I have seen in a long while!!! Look at the bones indeed!! Ha. I have several friends from my old high school days... and we all stayed up very late once about _________ years or so ago (fill in the blank if you dare) ... just to watch THAT part of this movie...THANKS for making me feel OLD now... Ha. In fact... it was SO long ago.. I don't remember ANYTHING else about the film.. (except maybe the Knight that kept losing his arms and legs.. etc and still kept on fighting)..... but after we watched it, my friends and I spent the next YEAR going around saying "run away" to each other... It's just a harmless little bunny.... sure... tell me another one!!! PS... Little Miss Butterscotchie.. the DUKE... saying THAT word????? Perish the thought!!!!! :-)

Rhoda's a nimble girl, though, she can pick her way through the rubble. Through anything, really. Yes.. but she DID seem susceptible to lightening.... maybe we will just have to wait for the next thunderstorm... In the meantime... maybe we can find another piano stool for the Movieman to sit on... Chris.. how do you feel about playing a duet with little Rhoda?? She only seems to know one song though... but she can play it over and over... and over...

I've actually watched THE QUIET MAN while eating green cupcakes on more than one occasion Sounds like a LOVELY way to enjoy both.... the movie... and the cupcakes...

with Rhoda you'd have to promise her the whole cake I guess we could try tricking her and tell her she left her tap shoes downstairs in the cellar... and then when she went to check... we could lock the door... but I don't think the renovations are finished yet from when LeRoy took his last nap down there the other day....

Tell her there is cake in the kitchen Better yet.. tell her her mother wants her.... It's time for her vitamins and juice...

Isn't she still hogging the piano bench?? I keep pushing her off... but she keeps climbing back up there... Don't worry... to borrow from the 90's remake of The Mummy... Nasty little "gals" like her ALWAYS get their comeuppance in the end...

Everyone pull up a chair As long as I don't have to sit in the little pink chair....for little gals.... I am saving THAT seat for Rhoda... (had to edit my post... sorry I forgot to "downsize... did not want to disappoint my tutor) Ha. Message was edited by: rohanaka

Hello Little Butterfly Favell... (I shall NEVER think of YOU as a moth!) :-) You have been missed here lately, my sister! :-) Not sure if I can see Stewart as Jabez.... MAYBE... Frank, you like dancing? How about at the end of a rope? In THAT sort of dance he is a virtual Fred Astaire!! Ha.

54 (ps...with your permission, folks...this is a first for me...) " I don't care if he DOES like his oatmeal lumpy... I'm the cook and I say... NO LUMPS."

Wow Molo... this film looks like a lot of fun (I have always enjoyed Red Skelton) ... and G G looks... stunning! Nice screencaps, sir. :-)

I'm free! Only until you hit the end of that rope... then..

Having just learned about screencaps I can attest to the fact that they really take a lot of time. It's hard to keep up with the discussion. Well... the screencaps have been worth the wait... so you BOTH deserve a LITTLE slack for that... I GUESS. But... my memory is only as good as your last ramble... so NO fiddle faddling around, gentlemen. I say again... just consider me... a pushy "Ma" I was just kidding!!....Don't go for the rope! HA!!! Too late... the rope is in the freezer... with Spring time a comin' I have to keep it there because it will lose it's chill if I don't.

No moths... But maybe at the rate you are going... (and your known trackrecord for DELAY)... maybe a JUNEbug!! Ok...ok... I confess... that wasn't fair. You HAVE been rambling your little self silly lately. (Just consider me... a pushy "Ma") Oh my golly April... did I just let him off the hook????????? Say it isn't so...

4 or 5 days ago.... FXReyman wrote: I don't mean to be selfish but....................... Is Mr. Grimes ever going to reply to the TWE ramble from several days, or was it weeks ago??? To which Rohanaka replied: Don't worry... as soon as the Grey Guy's "contract" is up... we will push him on out the door your direction! What do you think Molo... I can't quite make out the date on that yonder tree... Is his contract up yet??????????????

an article in the Morlock site by suzidoll about Darryl Zanuck's involvement in "My Darling Clementine." Wow Chris, thanks for posting that link... I am the world's worst about checking the Morlock's sometimes... It's easy to get distracted by stuff... but that is no excuse. And this piece you have mentioned here is a fine example of why I need to make a better effort to stop by and review that site more often... thanks. Message was edited by: rohanaka

YOU, my Bonnie Lass, my have as many as you like.. I can ALWAYS make more!! :-)
