Well, you've read the notes, the notes were familiar and bred familiarity, and now it is time for you to post until the familiar cows come home.

Congrats, BK, on getting Bill Hayes for the Kritzerland show!

Today, my co-worker Linda is back from her three-week vacation!

There will, of course, be some necessary clean-up (and some of mine

), but things can finally start to get back to some semblance of a normalness...until, of course, I have to take vacation within the next couple of months.

Topic of the Day: I do remember my sister and I enjoying "those Smokey and the Bandit type hick comedies that were so popular with the populace back in the 1970s." I couldn't give you any specific titles since I haven't seen any since the 1970s...but we liked them when we watched them.

And now, I need to get some sleep. I don't think I've been getting enough sleep lately, so hopefully, I'll be able to tonight.

Have a good day, all!

Good morning, all!

I slept well. I remember bits of a dream in which I met Joshie in lower Manhattan as I was wandering about looking for the offices of my health insurance company and he was trying to find an address for a doctor.

Today I will work on "You Will Be Found," and at some point between 11:00 and 1:00pm Amazon Fresh will make a delivery.

DR TCB, so how you and DR Jeanne like THE BAT?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 28, 2021, 04:47:51 AM »

When I was a kid, I loved horror films, even if they scared me to death and I had to beg my brother Macbeth to come and sleep with me to keep the monsters away. I haven't been able to watch them any more since The Blair Witch Project, which gave me nightmares for weeks, and I know full well that at the approach of any monster my three little devils would leave me to my fate.

I have now passed the halfway mark in State of Terror, qhich is rolloing along like a goods roller coaster ride, and it certainly has raised my conspiracy hackles. I'm reading much slower these days than I used to when I could finish a book in two days of subway-bus rides and reading at home. I've been wondering if and how quickly the movie sale occurred.

Thursday morning greetings! This morning I have to take some stuff that was donated by a friend to the AAUW holiday bazaar site, pick up 2 prescriptions at Kroger, and put the new license sticker on my car.

TOD

I don’t think I ever went to any of those, but I enjoyed catching them on cable back in the day. That said, I can only account for having seen the two Cannonball Run movies and the first Smokey and the Bandit. (There was more than one, right?)

Enough years have gone by that I’d probably watch them once more now for whatever laughs can be had. Hell, if one of the remaining drive-in theaters would run a night of those, I’d go and enjoy them in their natural habitat.

Where I DON’T want to find myself watching one is within a James Bond film.

What with all the interest shown in it here, I think I’ll watch The Bat tonight.

Seriously, though. I’m taking it off the shelf right now.

Nice sleep and comforting dreams, though I don’t remember them.

I can’t believe the vacation ends tomorrow.

TOD:

Never saw any of them until they came on TV. I think the only one I enjoyed was Clint Eastwood in Any Which Way But Loose.

The orangutan and Ruth Gordon were fun.

Done — but though I knew I had it, I really thought it was on a DVD or even Blu-ray. All I have it on is laserdisc, on a double feature with The Bat Whispers (1930). It really does look like it’s in Public Domain Hell, sad to say.

Well, I’ll watch both of those tonight. And don’t try to stop me. I’m doing it, damn it.

Interesting look at horror films from 1960.

MR BK I like your answer to my question yesterday - and yes you are correct.....no truthful answers forthcoming from that one!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #26 on:** October 28, 2021, 07:10:24 AM »

DR TCB I love THE BIG LEAP.

It's very different than I thought it would be. A group of folks in Detroit have been chosen to be on a dance show.....their interactions and the actions of the production crew and the network nabobs makes for some fast-moving and very funny situations.

Of course there is also HEART.....there are quite a few gay characters and two of the boy dancers just started a relationship on last Monday's episode....

The dancing is incidental - but ALL of them can dance and that's fun to watch. They been together a few weeks, but the premiere of the show they are making was just in last week's episode, so they are all dealing with social media and who is popular and who is not....

Very different - but fun. I recommend you give it a try.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #27 on:** October 28, 2021, 07:13:13 AM »

Like DR JOHN G I guess my favorite of the TOD genre is ANY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE.....

I didn't watch any of the others - avoided them in fact.....

I liked THE BAT, but I really hated the actress who played the secretary....she was so bad.....and I also am irritated by the voice of Miss Agnes Moorehead and do my best to avoid her at all costs. Her lines readings are just bizarre and her inflections are a shame to the jaybirds.

Amazon Fresh has come and gone. I put everything away and broke down four cartons, and I didn't break down one carton for the cats to play in. I'll take it to the basement tomorrow when it's stale.

These stupid people in Seattle are calling up the restaurants where they have been asked to prove they are vaccinated. They are calling with threats and nasty words.

I will never understand the compulsion to threaten others just because you don't agree with them.
