Right you are...thanks for the correction. ;-)
"Oh, I don't know. I liked all five of the "Thin Man" movies. :)"
Myrna Loy...perfect!
"Rerun" - that sounds right! Referring to the fact that he looks just like his older brother.
Class. Ah the movies and women of old.
Watched "Ice Age: The Meltdown" last night. It was amazing how much sophomoric humor the inserted.
Let's teach little kids to say "ass" and "damn." Besides the references to animal breeding and, of course, global warming.
Along with my medical problems and age, it makes me consider not trying to have kids.
I'm so afraid of what they'll "learn" just by seeing the commercials!
No kids for me, either. I can't imagine trying to raise them these days.
You have way too much time on your hands.
LOL...ok then...don't count it.
It wasn't one book of 3 though...
From Wiki:
"It was originally published in three volumes in 1954 and 1955 (much to Tolkien's annoyance, since he had intended it to be a single volume) . . ."
From the Tolkien Society:
"The Lord of the Rings is not a trilogy: by the time it was being prepared for publication in 1950, Tolkien was thinking of it as a duology: a book of two parts, the other being The Silmarillion - a work concieved of as being of equal size to The Lord of the Rings (Letter 126 to Milton Waldon, 10/3/1950)."

Uh-oh, my in-laws just gave this to my husband's nephew for Christmas this weekend. The boy, only three years old, really lit into me for saying "gosh" at dinner. That's right, even "gosh" is too strong a word for my BIL's family, so I betcha he and his folks aren't going to be happy with this gift! My in-laws are gonna be in the dog house for sure... ;)
If somebody urinated in your breakfast and you objected, and they told you that you have too much time on your hands, how would you recieve that?
That's what Ron Howard did with the Grinch remake. He targeted that movie right at my kids, then put a bunch of irrelevant adult stuff in it. That's kids, K-I-D-S.
The other reason I remember this favorite of mine so well was I spilled the beans to my mother about what dad was giving her for Christmas.
Dad's 70 now and never forgets to remind me this time of year.
Hee hee, did your mom's present consist of "silver and gold...silver and gold"? LOL
It sounds like you didn't do your homework and now you smell urine in your cereal.
If you are talking about the 1978 animated version - it was God-awful.
They kept singing 2 incredibly annoying songs over and over again - 'The Wearer of the Ring" and "Frodo of the Nine Fingers". Just writing this has put both of those tunes back into my head.
I think I need to go to the nearest Emergency Room and get sedated.
;-D not back then, that came later when they had enough money to start buy more extravagant presents, like jewelery for Mom.
I remember we had this little black and white TV that Dad was always banging on with his fist to get it to stop barrel rolling. (That horizontal hold never did seem to work)
My mother (In conversation with my Grandmother) wondered aloud
"I wonder what Donald is getting me for Christmas"
Well I may have only been five years old but even I could answer that question.
A mirror!
It was one of those funny convex jobs with fancy carvings in the surrounding wood.
Dad's take on all of this was:
I knew that kid could never keep a secret.
Oh, man, am I ever gonna get you.
My life was GOOD until you did that.
