Yes, I am replying to myself.

This is one movie I plan to view.

Vantage Point.

Interesting fiction and one perspective of what some can do.

In response to Flashermac - Useful banana thread

Flashermac Said:A Peace Corps gal told us she used Polish sausages. Afterwards, she'd cook them and give them to her dog. We couldn't believe she told us that!

A mother caught her daughter with a cucumber..."what is that for!?" she yelled the daughter replied "...this cucumber has been my husband for the last 3 days..." The mother said "...well consider yourself divorced, tonight we are having salad!"

What do you get if you cross an elephant and a kangaroo?

Big holes all over Australia!

Was ist der nächste?

Not Without My Daughter. 1991. Sally Field (2 time Academy Award winneer). Based on book by Betty Mahmoody.

I thought it was a great movie. But I am a history buff not a movie buff.

The written reviews were undistinguished.

Later Ilman tytartani from Finland did a documentary about the husbands side of the story. He went to Iran and interviewed the husband. The husband said the book by his ex-wife was all lies.

Let's see. Wife lives in freedom of speech country. Husband lives in Iran. Whom do I believe.

The movie was about Iran and a US citizen woman who marries an Iranian in the US and they move back to Iran.

And the movie was filmed in Israel. Hmm . . . could any of the book/movie reviewers be anti-semitic? Of course not.

Hunting farce. Video.

Jake the Inventor is struggling through a bus station with two huge and obviously heavy suitcases when a stranger walks up to him and asks â??Have you got the time?'

 

Jake sighs, puts down the suitcases and glances at his wrist. 'It's a quarter to six,' he says.

 

'Hey, that's a pretty fancy watch!' exclaims the stranger.

 

Jake brightens a little. 'Yeah, it's not bad. Check this out' - and he shows him a time zone display not just for every time zone in the world, but for the 86 largest metropolis.

 

He hits a few buttons and from somewhere on the watch a voice says â??The time is eleven 'til six' in a very West Texas accent. A few more buttons and the same voice says something in Japanese. Jake continues 'I've put in regional accents for each city'. The display is unbelievably high quality and the voice is simply astounding.

 

The stranger is struck dumb with admiration. 'That's not all,' says Jake.

 

He pushes a few more buttons and a tiny but very hi-resolution map of New York City appears on the display. 'The flashing dot shows our location by satellite positioning,' explains Jake.

 

'View recede ten,' Jake says, and the display changes to show eastern New York state.

 

'I want to buy this watch!' says the stranger.

 

'Oh, no, it's not ready for sale yet; I'm still working out the bugs,â?? says the inventor. 'But look at this,' and he proceeds to demonstrate that the watch is also a very creditable little FM radio receiver with a digital tuner, a sonar device that can measure distances up to 125 meters, a pager with thermal paper printout and, most impressive of all, the capacity for voice recordings of up to 300 standard-size books,â?? though I only have 32 of my favourites in there so far' says Jake.

 

'I've got to have this watch!' says the stranger.

 

'No, you don't understand; it's not ready.' 'I'll give you $1000 for it!'

 

'Oh, no, I've already spent more than -' 'I'll give you $5000 for it!'

 

'But it's just not -'

 

'I'll give you $15,000 for it!' And the stranger pulls out a checkbook.

 

Jake stops to think. He's only put about $8,500 into materials and development, and with $15,000 he can make another one and have it ready for merchandising in only six months. The stranger frantically finishes writing the check and waves it in front of him. 'Here it is, ready to hand to you right here and now. $15,000. Take it or leave it.'

 

Jake abruptly makes his decision. 'OK,' he says, and peels off the watch. They make the exchange and the stranger starts happily away. 'Hey, wait a minute,' calls Jake after the stranger, who turns around warily. Jake points to the two suitcases he'd been trying to wrestle through the bus station.

 

'DON'T FORGET THE BATTERIES!!!

I sent this one to my brother !

Stayed at Penthouse on 1st trip to Pattaya years ago.

Recommend to others to stay there at least once. They have and they have enjoyed it.

Hotel has good breakfast on side. Very good location and short distance to Walking Street.

This is not a very large hotel nor is it new. But the rooms are definitely interesting.

I still recommend for all to stay at least once.

Advised one newbie to stay there on his first trip to Pattaya. I stayed at my regular discount - the Bella Vista on Soi 8. Since he was new, I walked with him back to the Penthouse to make sure he actually got there. Just before the hotel something rubbed up against my arm and his arm. We turned around and there was an elephant. Certainly a amazement for him.

He enjoyed his one and only trip to Thailand. And the Penthouse Hotel.

 

They go to the church, the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth, and he closes the door. The boy says, "Dark in here" and the priest says, "Don't start that shit again you little prick, you're in my cupboard now!!"

I thought it was a good one!

No, I get the joke alright but I just don't get the song lyrics, I mean, what's a 'swagman'? why is he boiling his mate 'Billy'? who the feck is matilda and why would he want to waltz her? If she is a real doll, then why would he want his mates to join in and waltz her also.

 

Plus I refuse to believe that any man in Aussie land is sophisticated enough to do the feckin waltz anyway.

 

Feckin confusing the lot of it

A swagman is a tussocker.

I thought everyone knew that!

I actually like a good joke - new or 'old'.

I have to place both hands on my 16 year old automobile as one hand is not strong enough to prevent the autombile from leaving the road by itself !

So I have to take exception to that 'rule'!

SD - how did you do that? Clever!

How did he do that?

I don't get it. Oh, I do wish I had a sense of humor!
