Re: Jokes I found it a few years back, and I've still not seen a version of the MDS for Man. And now.... Deep in the heart of Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood was lying in bed in his cottage, only a few days from death. "Little John," he croaked "give me my bow and arrow and open the window. I will fire the arrow and wherever it lands, please bury me there." And indeed, a few days later, Robin died, and having promised to carry out his final wish, Little John and the rest of the Merry Men buried Robin on top of the wardrobe.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? The sequel to the film mentiond in the previous post: Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966) -- Peter Cushing plays the Doctor once more in a retelling of the six-part serial from 1964. When the Tenth Doctor makes a reference in the fourth series of the new shows that "someone has tried to steal the Earth before" -- this is the event he's talking about.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I've mentioned this film before (July '09), but as I've watched it again today, I wanted to give a bit more detail. Doctor Who and the Daleks (1965) -- Film with Peter Cushing as "Doctor Who" -- A revised retelling for American audiences of the seven-part serial that ran from December 1963 to February 1964, with (I think) the first appearance of the Daleks in color.

Re: Jokes This one should probably go into something like the Funny Pictures thread, but since it is essentially a visual joke, I present it here. Now then...CSLs all to DCV...prepared to abort to dodge... [ATTACH=CONFIG]37580[/ATTACH]

Re: Jokes A young couple had been married for less than six months but the bride was obsessed with knowing how many women her husband had slept with. “If I tell you, it’ll only make you angry and upset” he said. “No it won’t,” she assured him. “I just need to know.” Eventually the man gave in. “OK, now let’s see. One… two… three… four… five… six… seven… eight… you… ten… eleven…”

Re: Jokes Here's one to go with the "Adam & Eve" jokes posted a few days back.... Three nuns arrived at the Pearly Gates and each was asked a question before they were allowed to enter. The first nun was asked to name the first man. “Adam,” she replied, and the gates opened for her. The second nun was asked to name the first woman. “Eve,” she replied, and again the gates opened. Then a question was put to the third nun. “What were the first words that Eve said to Adam?” “Gosh! That is a hard one,” she replied, and once more the gates opened.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Superman - The Ultimate Max Fleischer Cartoon Collection The latest version on DVD of this series of short films that were originally seen in movie theaters from 1941-1943. Included is a 'booklet' (really a fold-out) with some information about the series. Extras on the DVD include a section called Behind the Cape, a synopsis of each episode with bits of trivia; the Warner Brothers cartoon Snafuperman from 1944; biographies of the voice actors, Superman, and Max Fleischer; a trailer for the Kirk Alyn Superman serials from 1948; and a telephone interview with actress Joan Alexander (Lois Lane).

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Close Encounters of the Third Kind -- 30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition Disc 03 of 03 includes: The director's cut of CE3K (some additions for the special edition were removed), part three of the documentary The Making of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (which had been produced for the special edition), Steven Spielberg: 30 Years of Close Encounters, a version of the theatrical preview Watch the Skies, and a trailer for the 30th Anniversary set. The set includes a fold-out with a poster for the film on one side, and a feature comparison timeline on the other. The timeline notes scenes that were added or removed, depending upon which version of the film one looks at. There is also a collector's book in the set, containing a number of production photos, quotes, and biographical info on major figures from the cast & crew. I got to see the theatrical release back in 1977, when I'd made the mistake of reading the novelization first -- I learned not to do that after this film. I don't think I got to see the special edtion outside of home video.

Re: Jokes I've heard a few versions of this one over the years. This is the shortest (and therefore cleanest) version that I can recall to mind: “Every time I sneeze, I have an orgasm,” said the girl to her doctor. “What do you take for it?” he asked. “Pepper.”

Re: Jokes It was cold and pouring rain but the boy's mother insisted he go out and feed the animals on their farm before he could hav breakfast. The boy when out in a rage, kicked the chickens, punched the cow, and threw cold water all over the pigs. When he got back inside his mother was furious. "How dare You!" she fumed. "For that you get no eggs because you kicked the chickens, no milk because you thumped the cow, and no bacon because of the way you treated the pigs." Just then, dad come down the stairs and nearly tripping over the cat, he gave the animal a mighty kick. The boy turned to his mother and said, "Are you going to tell him, or shall I?"

Re: Jokes A dedicated professor of music decided to go deep into the African jungle to test his theory that wild animals could be tamed by playing them beautiful music. Sure enough, his theory proved to be true. As he began playing a beautiful piece of classical music on his violin, he soon had an appreciative audience -- two giraffes, three snakes, four zebras, and a host of monkeys. All of a sudden, a lion roared into the middle of them and bit-off the professor's head. "Why did you do that!?" complained the other animals. "That was beautiful music and you've gone and spoiled it." The lion put a paw up to his ear and said, "What?"

Re: Jokes A woman has her portrait painted by a local artist and asks him if he would paint her dripping with fabulous jewels. She explains, "If I die before my husband and he gets married again, I want his second wife to go crazy looking for the stones."
