well, you remember the final scene at the house in the basement? The guy that grabbed and prevented Perkins’ character from making Vera Miles his next victim was John Gavin….He played Janet Leigh’s character’s boyfriend.
1: It’s the hardness of the lead.
2: To ensure that the switch is actually making a connection.
3: Have you ever tried to get inside a TV?
4: Beer.
5: We don’t. (UK has extremely few roads called ‘Parkways’)
6: The first is when someone wants you to do something, the second is your chance of doing it.
7: We do, and why do some American singers sound English when they sing?
8: You intentionally sit next to people? What is wrong with you!!
9: Few clouds = ‘Partially cloudy’, mostly clouds with a few breaks in them = ‘Partially Sunny’.
10: No.
11: They’re filming for “Worlds funniest videos.”
Lol… Are you saying sliced bread is now better than beer?
Wow… are you sure you’re English?
There aren’t really many roads called “parkways” here either.
At the moment, I can’t think of one I’ve ever driven on.
…
And I’ve looked this up before: one of my weather apps defines partially cloudy/sunny just the opposite of that… partially sunny means more sun than clouds, and v/vsa
Whereas another always uses partially cloudy at night and partially sunny in daylight. You can be looking right at it, at the stated time for sunset, and the page will change to darker blue with a moon instead of a sun, and the days will change labels too. It’s weird!
Yes…..Dunno whether it’s the same in Europe, but here they are labeled H and B if they’re drawing pencils, and numbers if they’re writing pencils.
Number 2 is usually the same as HB (some brands have slight variations.) No. 3 is H, No. 1 is B
And when I say No. 1 is best…. I actually like 2B better… so yes… 2B!
No 1 is the softest writing pencil, unless somebody makes a softer one nowadays.
I bought them because drawing pencils usually cost more and have no attached erasers.
In high school I used to go to the stationary store instead of the school shop, and buy boxes of a dozen Dixon Ticonderoga No.1s. One of my teachers hated them.
I had an artist friend who actually liked drawing with 4H pencils…. That would make me crazy.
I liked to draw with a 4B.
When I was doing Technical Drawing at school, we used 2H pencils to do the construction lines (Like doing a feint first draft), and a 1H pencil for the finished drawing. I still have my pencils from that time somewhere.
Yeah, that’s the theory, but in reality, iit’s impossible to erase what I draw with a hard pencil, cos I press so hard trying to make lines I can see, that I engrave the paper…. or cut through it.
A good soft or kneaded eraser will erase my 4B lines…
And what are these things called “mistakes”?
Why would I make those?
Have you ever wondered how the character Popeye became associated with spinach (not to mention his origin)?
Have you ever wondered what the television show “The Wonderful World of Disney” was financing?
Have you ever wondered about the origin of the television show “The Love Boat” or what became a bigger draw in Las Vegas than the Bellagio Fountain or the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign”?

Did that bully at school do that to you?
Look at the size of those paws!
If it was the class bully, he’s headed for a come-uppance before long.
I like big paws and I cannot lie…
(my kids all have four big paws)
That’s Buddy. Fawn’s paws are quite dainty.
Pity Atlas. He looks as though he has the weight of the world on his shoulders.
..
His life is just this. Him against the world.

I’d heard they used some footage of the Empire State Building in the movie, but Kong himself was a model in the studio.
This makes it sound like Ms Wray was actually filmed at or on the actual building, as well. I wonder!
…..
I like this. I see a slightly manic type that just loves to play with something.
Looks to me like an image of “a hard-bitten and very wary Private Eyehound. Who also happens to be packing a roscoe, so mind your manners.”

Or cat, or flying fox bat… (BTW, they’re called “Daddy Longlegs” in England…)
Oops! Daddy longlegs in America, harvestman in England…
I see a black cat.
FROM HELL !!!`
I see a dog because there’s a darker oval with two teensy yellow dots at the bottom of the “face”, marking the end of its “muzzle”.
It looks exactly like a black German Shepherd. The head of one, anyway.
The rest of the creature looks like… um…. dddid I ever t-ttell you howww much I …um… hate horror …. mmmoovies?
I… um… think I hear the kettle… I mean… the phone….
Yeah … the phone…
Important….. gotta run!
.
Now i see the dog!
I don’t care what it’s called. I just want it out of my lunchbox.
,,
Think i know more than just Him!
Yes….
well, you remember the final scene at the house in the basement? The guy that grabbed and prevented Perkins’ character from making Vera Miles his next victim was John Gavin….He played Janet Leigh’s character’s boyfriend.
Thanks…. I remembered the character, but not a clear picture of him.
It was that scene that convinced me to take up a career in taxidermy.
Just kidding, honest!!
,,,
But I had to Google
Which doesn’t ring any bells.
Pun not intended.
And if you believe that, you don’t know me very well.
It’s true, though, that I’ve never seen it… so I don’t know whether this is a scene from it or just taken on the set.

You made me wake up Fawn.

I read an article once about #7… not that I can remember what it said.
But a lot of British people DO sound British when they sing… you can hear the Beatles’ Scouse accents loud and clear, especially in their early songs.
And you could never convince me that Peter Noone (Herman’s Hermits) is a Yank!
You’re IN a show that’s ON TV, just like you’re in a movie that’s on a screen.
But I confess to #2, though it’s not a TV remote… a mouse, a flashlight… anything you’re trying to coax a little more life out of.
BTW, No 2 pencils are the most popular, but No.1 pencils are quite appropriately the best.
Unless you’re one of those people who actually like writing with hard, scratchy, useless shards of overbaked clay, like Number ….ugh… 3’s.
You’re referring to H…
2B or not 2B…
Yes…..Dunno whether it’s the same in Europe, but here they are labeled H and B if they’re drawing pencils, and numbers if they’re writing pencils.

If there are no Bs I’d never bother looking for them 🙂
Softer leads are harder (in this case, more difficult) to erase. Critical for art or drafting to remove guide lines.
Or if you make mistakes.
Yeah, that’s the theory, but in reality, iit’s impossible to erase what I draw with a hard pencil, cos I press so hard trying to make lines I can see, that I engrave the paper…. or cut through it.

#6: “Fat Chance” is derived from the language of the ancient and sacred Sarcas.
I speak fluent Sarcastic.
You need to find one of the many Imponderables books. One of them (I can’t remember which) addresses #5.
Oh, and why to they call it “Common Sense” when it’s so rare?

Poor thing’s thirsty.
I like grapefruit, too. As long as he’s not on simvastatin, he should be fine.
Not good for people on thyroid medication, too. I have to watch out for my wife, so I learned about it.
Don’t have to tell me about simvastatin. I can’t take it. I get all the bad side effects.
Calcium channel blockers are also incompatible with grapefruit.

Wasnt there a moose here recently?
that sounds like something Rocket J. Squirrel would say
,,.
Nothing better than a dip in your private pool on a hot day.
,.,.
In the room?
We don’t talk about that.
Got ’em.
Same here.
,..,,
I don’t know how you’d get it to stay in one place.
They are supposed to sit on a frame that has rollers on it.
A work in progress…
That is one smart cat.

What a noble schnoz.
