Happy Easter All.

Watching the 10 commandments yet again. An Easter tradition in my house because what is Easter without Yul Brynner saying "So let it be written, so let it be done" and Edward G. Robinson doing his usual gangster persona only this time in a toga.

Eliza...I was watching that last night again too! And you are absolutely right about Edward G. Robinson...not a lot of variety in his acting skills! I have to think that Hollywood set was a zoo, literally in the case of the exodus of the Israelites scenes. They really did use a "cast of thousands" in those old epics!

I love that movie! Remember seeing it as a kid over the years, and how Charlton Heston seemed so larger than life. Until I saw Yul Brynner in The Magnificent Seven, I thought he was only a Pharoah

Wish they still made good movies like that

Bagsmom
Hope all contimue to get better, and others avoid it

Happy Easter to everyone!

We had a really good rain yesterday which totaled about an inch and we had another hard rain this morning during early service (another inch)!!!!

Our associate minister remarked that we had two great happenings today. The good rain and our risen Lord!!

Bagsmom, hope he gets to feeling better soon.

I absolutely ADORE this movie! It is so cheesy, in the very best way! Charleton Heston's hair was so big! And the sheik's dancing, giggling daughters! And the Egyptian hair-swinger dancers at the beginning! So many great moments! And how many times does Nefretiri say "Moses, Moooooses!"

I love the hyper-normal intense colors and every bit of it.

This time, I was cracking up when Moses and his family were hiding from the angel of death, celebrating Passover. They were praying and nervously listening to the screams all around as the firstborn of Egypt were killed. WHO THE HECK WAS THE DUDE WHO KEPT RANDOMLY SINGING? Moses would tell his nephew about the symbolism of the bitter herbs and the unleavened bread... the guy in the back would walk by and sing something like "everyone is dyyyyyyinggggggg." (Or whatever he said.) It was just so strange!

And wonderful! LOVE this movie with all my heart!

Lol! I was watching college hockey last night, so I only got to see the last 45 minutes.I was flipping channels and had to stay tuned, it is a movie I always have to stop and watch.

Granny~ I thought the same thing about the cast! Sooooo many extras!!

bagsmom~Glad your son is feeling better!

Happy Easter to all the Groupies !​

Sorry bagsmom to hear your son was feeling under-the-weather and hope he's getting better quickly !

Happy and Blessed Easter, Groupies

I watched the parting of the seas last night and we had to try together to remember EG Robinson's name.
Who the heck though about casting him in that role??
Someone with a very good sense of humor!

Anywhoo, it is pretty rainy here tonight. Store it up for our annual drought!

Any of you folks remember a song by George Jones from a few yrs back titled High Tech Redneck? Well, tomorrow, that song will once again come true for me as I get my 1st smartphone(which is going to probably not make me any smarter). We have had major issues with our provider of 15 years, so we are switching to another carrier. Even my 82 yr young Dad is getting in the mix and going the way of the smartphone.

I love my smartphone! I've had mine for about 3-4 yrs; first the 3G then the 4S and now the 5. If you remember, we are the rural folks who only very recently acquired high speed internet. My smartphone many times took the place of my very s-l-o-w computer. I think it's great that your dad is willing to get one too. My 82 yr old mom would never consider one. She has a hard time remembering the red button turns the phone on as well as off. Something about that green button.... very confusing for her. Have fun learning everything your new phone can/will do.

OK - so who has had an April Fools Joke played on them?

DDad always leaves a cup of coffee bedside for me on his way out the door....
well today there was no coffee in the cup.... only creamer with hot water

I still have my "dumb phone" -- and I don't know how to do half the stuff it can do. One of these days, I'll have to give in, I suppose!

awesome JT !!! Hope you and your dad have fun with the smart phones. My hubby just recently got one too---bagsmom called non smart phones "dumb" phones. My husband used to whip his out and say, "let me see what I can do with semi-smart phone" ! It's quite an adjustment.....he's still not used to it and it's been 3 months

I only keep half an eye out on the news in the morning while I'm drinking coffee and catching up on overnight headlines, but today ABC was running a report about how an animal research scientist had developed a rudimentary language interface with the great apes in the Los Angeles Zoo. I occasionally glanced at it, thought it fascinating, and was taken in by the appearance of Jack Hanna who touted the breakthrough. The network actually went to commercial break after the report, adding to its authenticity, only to come back from the ads to say "April Fool!" It was a well-done bit.

 

[Muushka]

Sleepy and Di, some great April Fool's jokes

Jimmy, I am only about 6 months ahead of you . I had to wait till prices came down, frugal me.
And Mr Muush still has a dumb phone (but it does take pictures!! ). He has no desire for one.

Luv just read a post somewhere on the DIS, I believe, that spoke about a lawsuit filed by some consumer advocates group to halt the transformation of Main Street Bakery to Starbucks due to historical building issues. The acronym for the group broke down to AVRIL, or French for April. I told Luv not to worry as she was about to get agitated over some frivolous lawsuit.

I read this and believed it so I really am the April Fool
By the way, to those just getting smart phones .......think of all the Disney Apps you can get !!

Hoping everyone had a wonderfully Blessed Easter Holiday Weekend!

The April Fools Joke I heard this morning on the news was a bomb that wouldn't be believed by the most gulliable person. (Being in Broncos Country), in sports it was announced that John Elway made an agreement with the New York Jets to trade Peyton Manning for Tim Tebow. Wasn't even funny. Oh well, I guess we'll hear some better ones as the day progressess.

 

[wildernessDad]

The April Fool's joke that hooked me, was the one that stated that the Mac Pro is being replaced by the 'Mac Prime'. It was quite detailed.
