Found them -- under the dining room table!

i wonder how much was the fawn response? The user wanting the bot to like them?

</sarcasm>

"Some people are just confused by life! It's how they are! We can't all be as sharp as I am!

"But it's not anything physical or medical, because that would mean it wasn't their fault! And this is DEFINITELY their fault!"

WHAT a cat. Such beauty.

They are WONDERFUL-looking!

It's on Youtube!

I didn't even know there was a spinoff!

I am REALLY out of touch!

Sounds like they got a little ahead of themselves!

"The Tall Guy", dir Mel Smith, starring Jeff Goldblum and Emma Thompson (and Rowan Atkinson).

It's on YouTube apparently in its entirety. I stumbled on it while making that post!

I didn't have room in the description post to mention the Andrew Lloyd Webber/West End theater parody it contains, which is rather wonderful.

I think it may have been her second movie!

It was also Richard Curtis's first script to be produced. He's the "Four Weddings ...", "Notting Hill", "Love Actually" fellow. (Plus a lot of other movies I never saw!)

Oh dear. yeah, that's what I was thinking!!

But do you want dead mice in your car?

I've seen it enough times, and grown up enough, that I find it more grating than not. But if it has poor director's choices it does have some good lines and a luminous performance by the brisk and delightful Ms. Thompson.

Also, the love scene could be politely described as amazing.

I think he was in the mode of

Clerk: "Thank you [for your purchase today]"
Customer: "Thank YOU!"
Clerk: "No problem."

Glad he anticipates a merry Christmas, anyway!

I just remembered that I did see some very nice, large, pleasantly-colored Lodge enameled-cast iron Dutch ovens, if you need to braise a whole chicken or make some no-knead breads.

Prices looked about the same as a typical Lodge on-sale price.

I wanted to buy one, but have nowhere to put it.

It doesn't seem like that now, but it HAS been 30 years and many things have changed.

The clerk (I bought 2 tee shirts and some mini-jam tarts) said, "Merry Christmas" to me, so I said, "Merry Christmas" back.

"No problem," he said.

Maybe their orbits will cross?
