Most of the movies I have saved are from the '30s, '40s and '50s as well as from the silent era. I've wanted to put some come over for a movie and wine jeebs for awhile.

Holy hell. Really? Silent movies and instead, you talking about Chenin.

Certainly beats talking about Burgundy and Champagne, like the rest of you Moonies do.

Well, I'd never say no to either Harold Lloyd or a zither. And I've never seen Speedy. But your original list didn't have these.

You should see it. Fun film that really shows New York of that era, the city, Coney Island, Yankee Stadium and even Kent Avenue in Brooklyn, which I always used to avoid traffic when I used to have a sales territory in Brooklyn. In fact, Kent Avenue looked a lot like it did in the movie until the past 12-15 years, or so. Babe Ruth even appears in the film.

That's somewhat narrow minded of you, because we also talk about Barolo.

In the room Oswaldo and I talk of Michelangelo.

Out of spite, we omit the three other turtles.

In a roundabout way, that reminds me of the name I'll use if ever I open a gastropub: The Plastron and Carapace.

That is a great name.
