buy it, then buy something really nice for the mrs to soften the blow, usually works for me. ;)

Or you could say I bought that ages ago, which sort of works, but she can`t tell whether your telling the truth or not.

Because they`re still as funny as ever... timeless, unlike the Marx Brothers :p ;)

Or, that it will complete your life... until the next DVD you want comes out :D

Wait a minute, who`s the man in the house? Just get it ;)

And says his prayers by night,
May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms
And the Autumn moon is bright.

Though they`re both great, the Marx brothers films are the ones that I would argue have stood the test of time. Come on chewie, I thought even you would realise that!

Come on, I was baiting you. I would never have mentioned the Marx Brothers if it wasn`t for your thread in the General Forum. Although I stand by what I said. Laurel & Hardy haven`t aged much, and I think they`re more comparable to Tom & Jerry cartoons. Both excellent... unlike the Marx Brothers :p ;)

You`ve got a DVD player in the kitchen?

"Busy Bodies" (1933) Disc 14

Well, that covers a lot of ground. Say, you cover a lot of ground yourself. You`d better beat it. I hear they`re going to tear you down and put up an office building where you`re standing. You can leave in a taxi. If you can`t leave in a taxi, you can leave in a huff. If that`s too soon, you can leave in a minute and a huff. You know you haven`t stopped talking since I came here? You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle. .
