Just a chime....or??

[Jerry Oz]

Just so long as it all comes out right, why would we be concerned about it?

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes. Best put it behind us.

[Jerry Oz]

Yes. Just put your best cheek forward and go about your business.

[westgrandboulevard]

Arr&bee will be pleased to know that hooch is so efficacious in the treatment of many bodily issues.

Perhaps it could be processed into pills, lotions, gel....

[arr&bee]

I was gonna do that,but no goverment wanted to invest in my ideas,well too bad for them because this wonderful elixur is great just the way it is,no minerals,no vitamins,nutrients or anything else that might be good or healthy.

[Jerry Oz]

Don't blame the government, it's my fault that they wanted to study it. It's great for so many applications. I spilled a drop in Lake Erie and I caught more drunken fish that floated to the top in five minutes than I caught using a rod and reel in two days. When the deer and otters started dying from alcohol poisoning after taking a drink from the lake, I decided that maybe a drop was too much and research might be in order.

[westgrandboulevard]

It's not the first time it has happened.

Remember the dinosaurs.....

[arr&bee]

WHOA....NO..HOOCH NEVER KILLED ANYONE,IT JUST ENHANCES THE BRAINCELLS MAYBE A BIT TOO MUCH TO THE POINT WHERE YOU SEE WONDERFUL STUFF[that no one else can see]NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT..[we're not responsibe for those dinosaurs,who new that they coundn't read].

[westgrandboulevard]

They could have forseen the future, and committed suicide....

[arr&bee]

I'm thinking of casting[betty white]as the damsel in distress.

[westgrandboulevard]

Pearl White might still be available, although it's rumoured her voice is gone....

[arr&bee]

Wonder if i can get kirk douglas for the male lead?

[westgrandboulevard]

He's keen, but won't work for more than five minutes each day....

[Jerry Oz]

It's cool. That whole Willie Tyler and Lester thing just gave me an idea for how we can use Kirk Douglas for absolutely free... Uhhh... Somebody might want to buy some rubber gloves though when they see what they have to do with their hand...

[westgrandboulevard]

As I said earlier, on one of the other threads.....

Unsavoury.....

[Jerry Oz]

Only if you move your lips when he is "talking". The audience will boo if they think you aren't trying very hard.

[westgrandboulevard]

It gets worse.....

[Jerry Oz]

Maybe for Kirk, but he will be happy just to be acting again.

[westgrandboulevard]

The deleted scenes and extras on the dvd could prove very embarrassing.

Will bring a new dimension to the phrase, "keeping one's hand in"....

[Jerry Oz]

Well, special effects are all the rage these days... We may win an Oscar or BAFTA if we play it right. We will just need to make sure Kirk does not awaken during filming...

[westgrandboulevard]

I suppose we're looking for a performance on the lines of Marlon Brando, in 'The Godfather'.

[Jerry Oz]

I would be happy for one along the lines of Frank Oz in "The Muppet Movie".

[westgrandboulevard]

We'll just have to see what old Kirkie comes up with....

[Jerry Oz]

We can name his character "Spartacus K. Viking"

[westgrandboulevard]

"What does the K. mean?"

They'll all want to know that...

[Jerry Oz]

"Kirk". I don't have a middle name, so I give them to others when I get the chance. Usually it is a "J" or a "Q" because those are cool middle initials.

[westgrandboulevard]

Mine is 'J'.......

[Jerry Oz]

Okay, that made me laugh out loud...

[westgrandboulevard]

Ha!,but it is indeed true. Maybe my parents laughed out loud, too...?!

[Jerry Oz]

Perhaps they did. I like "J" mostly because Jay Ward used it for Bullwinkle J. Moose and Rocket J. Squirrel. It's just a cool sounding middle initial for someone if you do not know what the real initial is.

[westgrandboulevard]

I use mine a lot, generally in my signature. Some names have a good, rhythmic appeal - some, less so. My first name ends in an 'r', and my last name begins with an 'I' - so the tendency is to run it all into one long word, even in thought.

The middle 'J' breaks it up - as very well demonstrated, but to different effect, in the two names you used above....

Have you noticed how Facebook members pile all their names onto their registration [[I don't believe all are shown on their birth details), just to gain them some individuality. Understandable, if their last name is Smith or Jones....

[Jerry Oz]

I'd love to see any singular names among Facebook users. Even the most obscure names seem to bring up five others to confuse you when looking someone up.

[westgrandboulevard]

I haven't even got around to putting up a photo against my FB name....

[Jerry Oz]

I don't even have a profile. For all of the positives that Facebook provides, I prefer to be relatively anonymous in all regards. Very little use of credit cards and no debit transactions. My internet purchases are relatively anonymous as well, and seldom are tied to my personal accounts. I am about to get a cell for business, but I wish that it was not necessary. One day, I will disappear and the fewest clues leading to where I went, the better.

[westgrandboulevard]

We'll erect a tombstone for you, right here.

[Jerry Oz]

Can you put the image of Lamont Cranston on it, please?

[westgrandboulevard]

"The Shadow Knows".....

[Jerry Oz]

You're sharp... Or I'm not as sharp as I want to believe I am...

[westgrandboulevard]

I'll be happy just as long as you keep both those thoughts in your mind

[Jerry Oz]

Don't worry; be happy because that should be easy enough.

[westgrandboulevard]

Besides, I'm not safe with anything sharp.....

[Jerry Oz]

I'm doubting that very much. I'm pretty sure the meals you describe preparing can't all be made with a straw or a potato masher.

[westgrandboulevard]

I was, of course, joking...although funny you should say that because, to tell the truth, I do have a certain aversion to knives.

I need to use them with care, otherwise I become uneasy....

[Jerry Oz]

Best to be respectful of something that's capable of resulting in a bleedout than to carelessly find out why you should have been. Otherwise, you'll need a hastily applied tourniquet to keep from ruining dinner.

[arr&bee]

You two are cutups.

[westgrandboulevard]

I'm thinking of having a tree surgeon look at a very old strawberry tree here, which is in need of attention.

I'm a bit worried, as I don't know if he'll use a local or a general anaesthetic for the operation....

[Jerry Oz]

You have a tree with old strawberries on it? I probably wouldn't eat them...

As a matter of fact, I've never seen young strawberries grow on trees, so I hope that you haven't been eating them...

[westgrandboulevard]

It's commonly known as 'The Strawberry Tree', but its correct name is Arbutus unedo.

The edible fruits [[nothing special) are striking in colour, looking very similar to strawberries, while there is also something of raspberries in the colour and texture.

I have a feeling you'll not see one in Ohio, Detroit or anywhere in that direction, but might be wrong......

[Jerry Oz]

Nope. But I dig that name, although transposed.
"What kind of tree is this?"
"Unedo Arbutus."
"I do?! Don't you need them more than I do?"

[westgrandboulevard]

Ha! and that Latin name does have a certain rhythm to it, doesn't it....
