Fundraising bump!
That is scary *L*
just minutes till fly over time
I got where I could recite the movie "Labyrinth" that my little nieces had to watch over and over again. That and "the great Ewok adventure." By the time they outgrew it, I was starting to understand Ewok....
Fundraiser bump.
Support our troops! Where would our nation be without them?Looks like since I finally found a job, I shall be making some modest contributions shortly.
Weren't Ewok's also in star wars??
Thank you Marine_Uncle for all your support !!
Likewise Mo1. I assure you.
Bump! Donate 5 bucks! It's really easy.

Yes. The Great Ewok adventure was s spin-off for the kiddies.
One of my favorite movies of all time (Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid).
Here is a great site which includes the entire script.

And about Bolivia:
From a rock cliff, an armed lookout (in the foreground) signals to Butch. The two are the perfect pair: an independent, unconventional thinker, Butch has the brains and is a quick-witted visionary, disrespectful of both the law and the establishment. Sundance provides the strong, quick-draw, traditional Western hero. Sundance has heard Butch's fanciful dreams before, such as his bright idea that Bolivia has better pickings with its silver, tin, and gold mines:
Sundance: What's your idea this time?
Butch: Bolivia.
Sundance: What's Bolivia?
Butch: Bolivia. That's a country, stupid! In Central or South America, one or the other.
Sundance: Why don't we just go to Mexico instead?
Butch: 'Cause all they got in Mexico is sweat and there's too much of that here. Look, if we'd been in business during the California Gold Rush, where would we have gone? California - right?
Sundance: Right.
Butch: So when I say Bolivia, you just think California. You wouldn't believe what they're finding in the ground down there. They're just fallin' into it. Silver mines, gold mines, tin mines, payrolls so heavy we'd strain ourselves stealin' 'em.
Sundance: (chuckling) You just keep thinkin', Butch. That's what you're good at.
Butch: Boy, I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals.

And later:
The film returns to color as the dapper-dressed trio step off a Bolivian train in a country village (Santa Ines) in the middle of a god-forsaken landscape, filled with llamas, pigs, piglets, chickens and adobe huts. Butch and Sundance exchange cynical, caustically-humorous banter about their predicament:
Butch: Well, you know, it could be worse. You get a lot more for your money in Bolivia, I checked on it.
Sundance: What could they have here that you could possibly want to buy?
Butch: All Bolivia can't look like this.
Sundance: (infuriated) How do you know? This might be the garden spot of the whole country. People may travel hundreds of miles just to get to this spot where we're standing now. This might be the Atlantic City, New Jersey of all Bolivia, for all you know.
Butch: Look, I know a lot more about Bolivia than you know about Atlantic City, New Jersey, I can tell ya that.
Sundance: Ah-hah! You do, huh? I was born there. I was born in New Jersey, brought up there, so...
Butch: You're from the East? I didn't know that.
Sundance: The total tonnage of what you don't know is enough to...
Butch assures Etta that Sundance will feel better after returning to their old profession:
He'll feel a lot better after he's robbed a couple of banks.
ROFL
I have to admit a secret weakness....my favorite all-time movie has to be Monty Python's Holy Grail. My second is probably Zorba the Greek. My third is probably Fiddler on the Roof. And somewhere in the top 10 is a animated movie called "The Last Unicorn" and an old sf film called "Forbidden Planet."
I have eclectic tastes.
We barely saw it --- too much cloud cover.
bttt
If so ......... check out "King of Hearts" with Allan Bates from 1967. I saw it when I was in college. A very interesting movie.
From Amazon.com:
Plot Synopsis: During the latter part of World War I, Private Charles Plumpick is chosen to go into the French town of Marville and disconnect a bomb that the German army has planted. However, Charles is chased by some Germans and finds himself holed up at the local insane asylum, where the inmates are convinced that he is the "King of Hearts." Feeling obligated to help the inmates, Charles attempts to lead them out of town, but they are afraid to leave
Sorry the weather wasn't nice to you.
Once back in the 80s, when I was at college, I got to see them flying the Enterprise (the non-flying prototype of the Shuttle) over my college campus. They flew it on the back of a 747, I think. Been too long. I forget the model of airliner. It was really cool.
We have another chance on Sunday and you know the South's weather: wait 10 minutes and it'll change. :)
