Answer My Question With A Question?????

[petersj]

Is it possible to be reincarnated as a toaster?

[glen]

Aren't toasters amazing the way they can toast things? <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[petersj]

Are they used to toast all things? How come my crumpets have burnt bottoms?

[glen]

Isn't a burnt bottom better than a burnt top and bottom?

[petersj]

Hey.have you met me at the beach?

[glen]

Didn't you know it is now officially uncool to a get suntan at the beach?

[petersj]

where can I get a good fake tan?

[glen]

isn't it easier to just get a graffiti artist with an orange paint can to tag you?

[petersj]

Will gafiti artists give me an all over tag?

[glen]

Why wouldn't they? They like tagging right?

[glen]

When is the last time you saw a parachuting rat?

[petersj]

I find graffiti pretty boring these days. Its just tagging. I like erotic stuff though and genuinely clever stuff but I have not seen any of that since Pompei. Ah they were the days!!

[petersj]

yes Peter, Confucius is a nice guy but never returns a round at drinks and between you and me he is such a bloody know all.

[glen]

I feel a little disappointed that Confucius is not hanging out in my shopping centre!! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Well perhaps you know I often meet old Confucius at the illustrious Epping Plaza.

I often buy him a coffee in reply to his good advice.

He said (just last week) that he read in the Melbourne Herald Sun a piece about research which established that if a person smiled too quickly (to another person's words I guess) then the quick smiler was not to be trusted.

On the other hand a slow smiler was more likely to be trusted.

Then he topped it all by saying therefore you (meaning me) must be the most trusted cos you won't smile to save yourself!

What a cheeky bas****![/quote]

lol.. mmmmm most interesting. Have to ponder that.

[petersj]

Peter you have made me recall an old (and I do mean old) TV series.. American. John Forsythe had an elderly Chinese butler/house boy who constantly quoted Confusc .. now what the hell was that called? He was divorced or widowed..

Of course if I was directing I would make the father and the house boy lovers.

I just Googled John F and comes withy Batchelor Father.

I'm pretty sure that's the one.[/quote]



Yes yes yes of course... thank you thats it. It would be fun watching it today. Although like Father Knows Best it would be interesting to see how we have all changed.

I love watching old shows. Just bought entire set of George Reeves in "Superman" and its brilliant. OK production values dont quite hold up but the acting was fantastic. The first Lois Lane (Phylis Coates) was incredibly hot!Wish I could find Whirleybirds and Canon ball, Jet Jackson and of course JungleJim. Oh and Sea Hunt.

I think Peter might the only one who knows these wonderful shows.

You are too young Glen.

Its sad though that a whole generation missed shows like this. Of course sadder still that you never saw a panto at the Tivoli.

Superman looks great today apart from the corny sets etc and the special effects but the acting is fantastic.

[glen]

I was disappointed to learn the TV series Heroes was also cancelled! Why are all the good shows getting cancelled!



I just watched a trailer for a new series called "The Event". Sees like it might be ok.
