Lively Case Discussion #641 6/16 - 6/19/2007

[AZSunny]

My older sister always had this thing about people morphing into other things.  Scared her to death and she would have nightmares for days and days.  One Saturday afternoon my mom took me and sis to go see a movie.  My sister was so terrified that we had to get up and leave the movie half way through.  It was years later before I got to see the end of the 1959 version of The Shaggy Dog.  

  I can understand the blob or salems lot..But the Shaggy Dog!!!ROFL!!

Oh my gosh!  I was just thinking of "the blob" when everyone was discussing movies.  That is the one that freaked me out.  I didn't think anyone else would remember that!

When my ex and I were dating, we often had to drag my little brother (the prince) along with us for hamburgers or a movie...where he wanted to sit between us.....guess how we took care of the movie problem...yep...The Blob....

That is funny!!! poor brother.

How Steve McQueen managed to come across cool in that movie is the biggest mystery about it.  Why didn't people just out run that blob?  I mean it was moving at a pace that made a snell look like a bottle rocket!

Special effects have come a long way since then!!  It was the slowness that was so creepy though.

I remember when it was scary, but to watch it now it is good for a chuckle.  Same with the mummy movies.  That mummy would just keep coming, dragging that leg and would catch people everytime!

Charlierat's explaination of the lack of people in his photos:  

I already addressed this point in the "Let's Make Fun of the MonKKKeys" thread but I'll be glad to address it again here.

In case it was not obvious to the monKKKeys, I prefer scenery shots over people shots. Plus, I consider it to be rude to aim a camera at complete strangers and take their picture without their knowledge or permission. So I intentionally tried to get empty stretches of beach in my photos.

Believe it or not, monKKKeys, the purpose of my trip was purely pleasure; I was not trying to prove any points to the likes of you losers in the Klan.

There's also a technical issue invovled here. If you look in the distance at the Eagle Beach, Baby Beach and Arashi shots, you will, in fact, see that there are consider numbers of people in the distance. My digital camera tends to focus on the foreground so the people in the distance look like little black specks. But, trust me, they are there.

On the same note, the flight to Aruba from Atlanta was nearly full and everywhere I went, I saw substantial crowds of guests having the times of their lives. That is, the beaches all had good crowds on them and the restaurants and tourist sites also all had nice crowds. In short, the island was jumping from end to end.

I met a bunch of people from Georgia, Tennessee and, especially, the New England area (Boston was very well represented). Most of the people I met were on Aruba for the first time in their lives and every one of them (without exception) was officially in love with One Happy Island. A few had already bought timeshares and every one of them (again, without exception) talked enthusiastically about their next trip to paradise.

LOL! Yeah, right.  

Hi Monkeys!  Happy Father's day to all!

Why are the people over there so hateful?  Because we want answeres?  God forbidit was one of their loved ones.

If meeting charlierat didn't scare those tourist off, nothing will!  

[sirensong]

I can't type either.  I have one of those cordless keyboards, and every time you hit "space", it doesn't put the space in there.  Then you have to go back and seperate all the words.  Sometimes I send it without checking to make sure all the words are seperated.  Just some useless information for you!  LOL

I realize that to each their own, but this is not what I would consider PARADISE.  It's what I would consider hell...dry...dirty...hot...arid...

Carla Baron was just telling me about some of their experiences while in Aruba.  Not about the actual program that will be on this week, but about members of the crew being arrested and detained while in Aruba.  Interesting story……

[Kat_Gram]

Oh scary movies....
When I was young and still at home, my "date" and I went to see some Mummy movie. I came home and we were standing in inside the house near the stairways, saying goodnight. Suddenly, there are heavy footsteps on the stairs. Who's there I ask ? No answer. I ran out the door, up the sidewalk, crying. My date is runing as fast as me.
..
It was my Dad. ! !
My Dad comes running out of the house up the front sidewalk in his pj's. What's going on here ?
He had to bring us back into the house.  ( Becasue I swear he looked different and I didn't recognize him )
Holy Moley !
We laughed and laughed well into the week.
When I asked my Dad who didn't you answer, he just said, like who do you think would be coming up the stairs / Like it was so obvious to him.
