LonesomePolecat Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I liked the part of the movie where one of the Yanks was able infiltrate the group that captured the airport, successfully posing as a Canuck until he was given away by his pronunciation of poutine. That and "sorry". Would have worked til he went to a curling match with the Canucks and didn't know what was going on. "HE'S A YANK!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 TO GRILL A MOCKINGBIRD Atticus Finch and his family have fallen on hard times, and have had to resort to shooting mockingbirds for their dinner. They decide to have a huge fund-raising barbeque, featuring smoked mockingbirds. All are invited, including Asta (cleared for rabies), who hopes to be tossed a bone or two from the feast. The problem is, since mockingbirds are very small, there's not much to go around. Jem, Scout, and Dill were only able to shoot down a couple of the little creatures. They decide to supplement the BBQ'd mockingbirds with buffalo wings, and everybody's happy. (Except Jem, who is somewhat traumatized by the consumption of the little birds. And Dill, who wanted to season the BBQ'd mockingbirds with dill; this idea was nixed by Calpurnia.) "Children, there's only one thing that justifies killing a mockingbird, and that's grilling a mockingbird." "Now, don't you be sneaking no dill into that BBQ sauce. It just don't go." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) WHAT A WAY TO GOPHERIn which A List star Asta is typecast as a Terrier, who hooks up with a series of ****. With each, he wants the simple life, and just chase and dig after gophers and other rodents. Unfortunately, time after time, Asta.loses his mate, who are victims of road kill, distemper, or sensory loss. Asta ends up with their jeweled collars, water and food dishes, and mauled plush toys. He is soon considered quite the catch.Asta has a few incidents with acorn-chucking tree squirrels, which shake his confidence to his core, but these scenes build smoothly to the climax, and the satisfying denoument, where the squirrel bearing trees are cut down to the now-wealthy Asta's specifications, to build.a.shelter for abused and/or homeless ****.

misswonderly3 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) It is a little-known fact that Asta used to offer grilled mockingbirds to his lady friends (those **** !) after a first date.

laffite Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'm trying to figure out the censored word. Give me a hint (since I seem to be intellectually challenged on this one.) Idea for Games and Trivia: Write a sentence with a censored word and ask respondents to name that word. The answers call for creativity since the word cannot be named directly.

misswonderly3 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thank god we have the Goderator here to steer us straight and keep us clean ! No "hinting" or "suggesting" what a bad word is, by substituting one letter for another, or spacing the word out, or anything sneaky like that ! No, thanks to our wonderful vigilant god-like Goderator, who knows whats best for us and for these message boards, we are spared the distress of seeing a wicked word even implied. We are spared even having to think the bad bad word. Since this is Thanksgiving (USA), I nominate we all thank our Goderator for taking such good care of us. Nothing gets past him ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonesomePolecat Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Debacle on 34th Street Doris is in charge of Macy's Annual Halloween Day Parade, and hires a last minute replacement to play the Great Pumpkin who thinks he really is the Great Pumpkin. After some hubbub in the store involving sincere pumpkin patches, Mr Gaily must prove in court that this man is the one and only Great Pumpkin. He brings in witnesses that the man who calls himself the Great Pumpkin actually sleeps in a pumpkin patch, flies through the air with toys, and has a pumpkin for a head, but the judge wants authoritative proof, even after the Great Pumpkin produces toys from thin air. The next day, a postman walks in with a bag of letter addressed to the Great Pumpkin (all of them from Linus Van Pelt). Mr Gaily submits the letters to the judge as "proof that the US Post Office, a branch of the Federal Government, believes this man to the be the one and ONLY Great Pumpkin!" The judge responds: "The Post Office? What the heck do they know! They mailed my refund check to the Phillipines! GUILTY!!" The Great Pumpkin was incarcerated on the spot and held until his head rotted away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomJH Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 We've heard a lot about you, Mr. Bond. My name is Closet. Deep in the Closet. Reflections in a GoldenEye MI5 loans out James Bond to U.S. Army Intelligence to investigate a string of sexually perverse incidents at an army base in Georgia. 007 suspects that super villain Dax Rammajamma IV is using them to divert attention from his plan to corner the international urinal cake market. Bond also realizes he cannot rely on his usual techno gadgets, but needs human intelligence to ferret out the plan. He doesn't mind tackling Keister Galore, the major's big bummed wife, but he is not looking forward to getting information from the major. To accomplish that, Bond knows he might just have to lie prone and think of the Channel Islands. Too sentimental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonesomePolecat Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Off-White Christmas Bob Wallace & Phil Davis meet the lovely Haynes Sisters in Florida and follow them up to Vermont, where the sisters have a gig. When they get to Vermont, they pull into the inn where the girls have the gig. Once in the lobby, they meet up with the goony handy man, beauty queen innkeeper's wife in crazy sweaters, and spoiled brat of a maid. They realize they are in the wrong Vermont Inn. When the innkeeper walks in, they recognize him from the showbiz circuits where he used to be a stand up comedian. When they discover the innkeeper needs help, they put on a stand-up comedy show for him to star in. Then three local woodsmen walk in and Wallace & Davis run for the hills. Hit songs from this film musical include "The Best Things Happen While You're Stuttering", "Count Your Sweaters Instead of Sheep", and "Brothers". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arturo Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 SOME LIKE IT HAUTE Wherein two male musicians, having witnessed a gangland slaying in Chicago during the Roaring 20s, flee to Florida disguised as women. **** hook up with a female ragtime band, and hide out during a long term.gig at a swanky resort hotel. Unfortunately for them, two real transvestites realize they are men, and being fashion-forward, take offense to the musicians' rather tacky and ill-fitting women's attire. They decide to rat them out to the mob, endangering their.lives in the process. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 THE BAREFOOT CONTESTANT An update of the Ava Gardner classic. Here we have a blogger reciting from her selected writings on video, which is then posted on youtube, where she is discovered after a number of hits, if not quite in the viral category. She becomes a contestant on an online game show, and causes a minor flurry by her entrance in each episode, coming down a stairway barefoot, and twirling around like Loretta Young, all the while goading her followers to guess breathlessly as to her upcoming answers. On the game show, she racks up numerous points, even if many are with specious answers. Soon she reaches 20,000 points, and a round of self congratulation is contagious if rote. However, she doesn't realize that only she is playing the game; there are no other contestants. Furthermore, she was kicked off the game numerous times early on, for not playing fairly and reacting hysterically; her point total would have been close to double the official count. She decides to retire and marry a Count, but never realizes she could have true happiness, and returns to try a rack up ever more points. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
