    Joe,


    At times Vincent Price was a bit a hammy. To me that was part of his style.

    Vincent Price played the games tycoon "Milton Parker" (a takeoff of Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers) in the movie "Scavenger Hunt". That was a funny movie.

    I think we have a cooler celeb in our midst. I just found out
    that the sysop of bitsunrise bbs is Shooter Jennings (son of
    Waylon Jennings), Grammy Award winning artist/singer/songwriter/
    producer.

    I think that's a different Waylon Jennings...as I believe
    the country-western star passed away a few years ago.

    Along that line, there's a user on my BBS, who's also a
    ham radio operator, by the name of Bill Clinton. He ran a
    BBS in the Little Rock area years ago...and I can tell you
    for certain it's NOT the same Bill Clinton...as I've met
    him in person (I administered an amateur radio license exam
    to him).

    The one that passed away is his father. Shooter is the sysop's
    stage name.

    OK, that explains it. There are quite a few instances where the
    parents and offsprings names are the same. However, I think you're
    more apt to hear the things of Junior or Senior, in regards to
    father and son, instead of mother and daughter.

    Mr (Sr) Waylon Jennings had many kids.

    But officially, Shooter bears his father's first name, Waylon +
    apparently a middlename.

    Shooter's real full name is Waylon Albright Jennings. He is a member of my FB group, BBSing 2.0, which is the largest BBS-related group on Facebook now.

    I will have to check that out.

    The Scavenger Hunt title reminds me of the film CLUE.

    Some of the lines were really funny. I really liked the scene
    where they are guessing how many bullets have already been used.
    "That's 1 plus 2 plus 1 plus 1.., No, that's 1 plus 2 plus 2 plus 1.."

    Here's the clip:

    August,

    Vincent Price played the games tycoon "Milton Parker" (a
    takeoff of Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers) in the
    movie "Scavenger Hunt". That was a funny movie.

    I will have to check that out.

    As the contestants went out, one said "Eccentricity isn't illegal,
    but it sure is a pain in the @$$". <G>

    One of the item clues was "To mention it, is not very dapper. It
    was invented by a man named Crapper. John Crapper to be exact". The
    item was a toilet.

    Another item was a microscope. This one female character (truly
    the definition of a dumb blonde) asked what it did...and was told
    "It can see things very small...like your brain". <G>

    Then, another scene had these 2 go in to rob the place. The thing
    was, they took the cash register drawer, but left all of the money
    behind. <G>

    Yet another scene had the item of a tank of nitrous oxide (laughing
    gas). The van was weaving erratically, and the people inside were
    "laughingly drunk". So, the cop pulls them over, and he goes inside
    to investigate. Apparently, "a policeman's uniform" was one of the
    items, and the cop (now drunk from the laughing gas, and half naked)
    is saying "I'm going to lose my @$$ for this!!". <G>

    The people were to go on a Scavenger Hunt, and they could acquire
    the items in any way, except by purchase. The one who got the most
    items would win the money in the estate.

    The Scavenger Hunt title reminds me of the film CLUE.

    Some of the lines were really funny. I really liked the scene
    where they are guessing how many bullets have already been used.
    "That's 1 plus 2 plus 1 plus 1.., No, that's 1 plus 2 plus 2 plus 1.."

    Almost sounds like a takeoff of "Who's On First?" that was made
    famous by Abbott and Costello...then ventriloquist Jeff Dunham did
    a similar deal with "Peanut" on him "changing the wi-fi passwords".

    In high school in south Florida over 40 years ago, 2 classmates
    dressed up as baseball players to do the "Who's On First?" routine.
    They said it took them 3 weeks to practice it, and keep a straight
    face all the way through.

    There was a later clip on YouTube, with Jimmy Kimmel, Billy
    Crystal, and Jerry Seinfeld.
