That is some kind of awesome whale to be able to make it to the desert. Sometimes it is the journey of getting somewhere that makes us able to deal with our location/destination.

Mad man- hey, glad to see you're back at it.

Gia pet- Hi.

Mz- We had similar 'takes' on that little gem. My first thought was well, there's a couple of different ways to look at that...

The great Peter Sellers said, as Charlie Chan, -- "Confucious say train with no wheels, soon get nowhere." Don't know why but that line has stuck with me. So does his line "moose on wall has moving eye."

And, I think it was Truman Capote, as Lionel Twain, who said to Peter Sellers, as Sidney Wang, "Use your GD pronouns & articles!" in Neil Simon's Murder By Death (1976)

BTW, in the movie, the Twain mansion was located at 22 Twain Drive.

The Don -- you never stop amazing me. You are absolutly correct. I went with C. Chan because of the obscure and age of the reference. I have to get the movie today. The scene where the body appears, disappears and appears back with no clothes with Peter Falk as Sam Diamond(?) makes me piss meself. Wow, me has to start the game "Stump the Don".

Au contraire, mon frere, it is merely the ingenious tool that is Google.

But, we did rent MBD recently, so I just happened to be refreshed with the references...
