The Monster (1925) with Lon Chaney. More funny than scary, but there were a few creepy scenes, one especially when the heroine is in a bed and hands come out from under and encircle her!

Adventureland. Takes place the year of my birth. I liked it.

It's so sad that Fu Manchu died.

:offtopic: Same here. I also like Gert and Gertie. Seems like a friendly name. Yesterday I met an elderly lady named Gussie. Ya gotta love it!

Not left to strangers, Feraud!? Loungers aren't strangers! (Are we?) :o Our pugs are Charlie Chan, Mr. Wong, Fu Manchu, and Brutus. Only Brutus has his original owners' name. Please consider Shanghai Lily for your little girl puggy. Or Marlene Dietrich for that matter.

Here's a story about used toasters: if there is a mouse in the house it will get into the toaster, and as a toaster is unwashable I've had to throw away (shudder) all three toasters we've ever had. If I have a vintage one it is for decoration only. Once you've peered into a toaster and seen...

Arriving more than a half-hour early is rude and passive-aggressive. At the time and up to 15 or so minutes after is acceptable. I would never expect to have the dinner party wait if I were later, that's monstrous, but I'd call and say I was running late.

Keep hat on. You don't want it to blow away, do you? Keep cigar lit. Enjoy your meal.
