For my Halloween marathon, I started with the Black Cat (1934, Karloff and Lugosi). I can't believe I have never seen it before. Very enjoyable. The choice for set design was a "modern" stark style instead of a creepy old house or crumbling fortress. And loved the classical music score.

And now I appreciate 21's avatar even more

Chelsea Clinton has always reminded me of this character.  I see a resemblance.  Maybe it's just me.  *DISCLAIMER ~  I'm not trying to start a political discussion. 

A cute and very clever character. Acceptable

I'm checking out too. Hope everyone enjoys their tricks and treats tomorrow night

I have to hit the sack for a few hours.  Great show and great company.     Cheers everyone!

I have to peel away from the pack, but it has been a pleasure.

As Richard Sharpe Shaver might say,

So long, and thanks for all the stim!
And don't take any wooden Deros...

(RGG, I left the suitcase full of lettuce in the designated spot.  Watch your hat and coat.  You may want to take a ventilator.)

I hope that won't be necessary, but I admire your pluck! Cheers!

Imagine my relief this evening

I thought you retired for the evening, young man.

He's cute in his bunny footed onesie with the backflap

Glad you didn't have to take the fiery plunge for the Cubs tonight! Have fun on your date tomorrow, but please be back on the atoll by Tuesday just in case. 

I'm ready for sacrificial duty, sir

Be careful, Tig. I hope little Paco is up for it.

Maybe I can hook up penguins like sled dogs

LOL.  I'll try to do that.  He's a real sweet, playful kitty.  He likes to climb up the dogwood trees in our yard.  He comes back down with no problem.  I used to have cats that would go up trees but they would never come down. I'm going to have to keep him locked up tomorrow though with the kids out tomorrow night.  Wouldn't want anything to happen to him.

Good idea, 21

Last I heard she was in Uruguay. I could be wrong.

I hated Nirvana back when they were big but I've gotten to really like a lot of their music now.  I'm not sure why I changed but whatever.

You like Classic. Had to wait until they withstood the test of time. And until the lead singer was dead

Now I know that you do not live in Canada.

Love your avatar, TL.   I own a black cat.  Very beautiful cat with kind of greenish yellow eyes.  We got him a year or so ago.  My wife named him Mikey but I would have preferred a scarier name.  We once had a black cat called Boris but he disappeared.

Just think of Mikey as short for Mephistopheles

Do yourself a favour next time you want iced tea.  Take extra strong hot tea, a bit of honey, some ice cubes and a couple of handfuls of frozen, mixed berries and toss them in a blender.  Best "slurpee" that I have ever had...

I have a guava tree. Basically what I do with the guavas

2:11 here.  Maybe I'll look at the clock when it is 3:33.

I make iced tea with regular tea and Earl Grey.

True story - I didn't drink coffee in the Air Force. I drank Earl Grey that I bought by the ounce and used a tea strainer. Second week working in the underground at SAC HQ I had two SAC Elite Guards standing at my desk going through my desk drawers. The Major I worked for told them he saw me put a bag of pot into my desk.

Oh!  Sorry.  A lady is present.  Greetings TigerLily. 

That's no lady. That is TigerLily. Hi sweetie

I'll just put these here...

No chamomile tea? It's ok. Got my favorite one at hand

Quote from: 21st Century Man on October 30, 2016, 11:12:36 PM
LOL. Great.  Oooh, a demon haunted world coming up.  That sounds perfect for Halloween.  Halloween is my favorite day.  Thought about watching movies tonight but Knapp's show sounds interesting.

Quote from: ShayP on October 30, 2016, 11:15:17 PM
Good.    Movies tomorrow.  Ah yes, Halloween is my favorite.  As is autumn. 

+1 +1 ... now which silkie jammies should I slip into? Black for Halloween

Just made it here in time to hear the opening chords of "The Chase". Hello fellow Knappsters. Nice gang of kooks n geeks here tonight. Great opening topic and I heard the Food of the Gods guy before. Very entertaining.

Great football today but my eyeballs feel like deflated footballs. And way to go Cubbies!

Knapp again tonight! The topics sound perfect for Halloween eve. No trick just treat
