P.S. I see no golden larches, nor any golden arches.

All I can think about now is an Australian group called "Men at Wok"...
And the lyrics to an old song "Wok like a man, Wok like a man, my son".
And as for Michael Jacksons Moon Wok!

At least I'm not "wokking 9 to 5...what a way to make a living "

I've been self isolating too long!

Let's not forget "Wok on by"-Dionne Wokwick. It was a favorite of wine.

"There Was An Attempt": People Share The Worst Fails They've Seen

Which reminded me of a story a Canadian in an email exchange group I'm in told of his WWI veteran father. Germans erected a sign above their trench, "Gott ist mit uns". The Canadians then erected a sign over their own trench, "We've got mittens too".

We saw Dune yesterday. I caught this:

Well duh, Rick. The roots are the feet of a tree...it's how they stand up.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

P.S. I googled "Dune". It has very high reviews and looks like it would be a bit of a "nail biter" sci-fi film.
I haven't been to a movie theater for about 8 years (after my movie buddy moved away), with the exceptions of seeing "A Walk in the Woods", and "I'll Push You".

Dune came out in 1984 when I remember correct.

 

[Bristle Boy]

Dune came out in 1984 when I remember correct.

I think the wind has got up and there are two "Dunes" now. Any more and they will be of Saharan proportions.
The latest one is by Director Denis Villeneuve who was responsible for the two "Sicario" films..
(Very good in my very 'umble opinion.)

I wonder which film will be the longest...the length of Dune I versus Dune II, and if they measure in meters or feet.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

and if they measure in meters or feet.

Time, not length. So they will do the measurements in either parsecs or lightyears.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

I've not heard of parsecs cuz I'm no nerd, but I do know who Buzz Lightyear is.

P.S. It's the "length" of a film; how "long" it lasts..not the time of a film...time only refers to the time you decide to attend a showing at the theater.
Time has no reference to measurements. I think I've gone down a wormhole here.

As far as Buzz is concerned the length of the film is infinity and beyond.

A few weeks ago I called cable and internet provider because neither was working.

After talking to representative a few moments I remembered I had just watered my plants. I had to move table to do so. I’d inadvertently unplugged cable and internet.

Problem solved.

I've read about a home PC problem. The owner and IT were working for some time trying to figure out why the computer wasn't booting. Finally the IT guy asks in desperation "Is the computer plugged in?"

"I'll have to get a flashlight to see. We've had a power failure."

Can't help thinking of the scene in the James Bond parody "Casino Royale" where the bandit tries to escape from Bond by throwing himself into his car and racing off - but not before turning to the camera and reciting: 'Bond thinks he is fast, but I am faster than he in my Lotus formula three, he-he!"

Here is a little clip from that crazy movie:

I loved "The man from U.N.C.L.E." especially Illya Kuryakin. I always repeated his name cuz it rolls off the tongue and made me sound like I had a sophisticated accent; not sure if it is Italian, French or Russian. One thing for sure...it is not German or Chinese.

I have saved nice gift boxes for years and years in my basement. Believe it or not, I just got rid of them all just a few days ago as I was searching for Peg. I probably had twenty of them. I now only save gift bags because when folded they "take up no room and weigh practically nothing".
