"you ever been bit by a dead bee?"
James Pablos
stuff. Bogart and Bacall were good together, and the music was top
notch.
My favorite character, though, was Eddie the drunk. Who was that
playing him? I'm too lazy to google it. The portrayal was so unique
and memorable. When Slim recites the whole "bee" dialogue back to him
in the end... Damn that was sharp. His mind was fucking BLOWN.

A week ago I saw this huge dead bee laying on a sidewalk in midtown
Manhattan. It was sort of a scary sight. I'm wondering what killed that bee.
Now they're saying bees are very important to the environment of Wereo.
When I worked at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium where I got raped by little
Blondie in the bushes in broad daylight and I shot my world exclusive films
of the stage where the Bealtes, Jimi, Janis et al played on in the 1960s and
70s I was actually working selling food and stuff. You may cawl me a bee
murderer because I devised a method of killing a whole lot of bees at one
time.
I was selling Italian Iceys. Large buckets of Lemon, Cherry and Neopolitan.
There were lots of yellowjackets that plagued the place, but I really don't
remember them bothering anyone. I discovered they were really attracted to
the lemon-flavored iceys yet had little to no (but some) interest in the
Cherry and Neopolitan flavors.
So I set up a 1/4-filled lemon iceys bucket away from the cart wide open and
just left it there. Like an hour later I would go to it and it was just a
cauldron of dead bees in there. I mean more dead bees than you ever saw in
your life. After awhile they caught on an stopped dipping in the well but
not for awhile.
I apologize for being such a bee-killer. I hope a lot of their friends don't
pick up on me today. Btw, there is no film of Blondie raping me in the
bushes but there are lots of other Forest Hills films loaded up onto my
Getty
Images webpages, so you can still see those.

He *was* great. And I pretty much agree
he was the best in To Have and Have Not,
although I loved B & B in those roles, and Cricket,
the great Hoagy Carmichael in his role.
Great film.

I also liked the line about "You do know how to whistle, don't you
Steve? You just put your lips together and blow."
There seemed to be a sexual innuendo there... Almost like she was
coming on to him.

I don't think ANYONE has ever been "bit" by a bee, dead or otherwise!

Gotta love Sherry defending the bees . . . ;)
"Save the Bees!"
Joker
Wow, ya really think so?!
Sherry in Vermont
Well - bees don't BITE - they sting. And the stinger is on the ass end
of the bee, not the mouth end. So it's not possible for anyone to be
bitten by a bee.
Bees are important for pollination, though. Someone's gotta defend them! ;P

TCM = Turner Classic Movies (channel)
Edwin Hurwitz
Turner Classic Movies, which shows To Have and Have Not on a regular
basis. It's Hemingway story that takes place during WWII in Vichy
Martinique and Humphrey Bogart is a fishing boat captain who is trying
to just wait out the war without getting too involved. Walter Brennan
plays his alcoholic sidekick who's always pestering people with the
question "Say, was you ever bit by a dead bee?" It's also Lauren
Bacall's first movie, at age 19, and where she met Bogie. The sexual
tension between them oozes off the screen and indeed, it was the real
beginning of the end for Bogie's marriage to Mayo Methot, who had been
jealous of his leading ladies, especially Ingrid Bergman, when filming
the somewhat similar Casablanca.
The movie is a classic, largely because of the performances of Bogie,
Bacall and Brennan and I highly recommend it (Hoagy Carmichael is also
wonderful, as he always was). You'll probably find yourself quoting this
anatomically inaccurate apiological phrase.
Cable might not reach you in the wilds of VT, but Netflix or your local
video store is sure to have it.

GREAT! My dad met Hoagy in Bloomington
Indiana while attending college.
For Sherry: I was stung by a dead bee in
a swimming pool when I was a kid.
Slim: Was you ever bit by a dead bee?
Eddie: Was you?
Slim: Yeah. You know, you gotta be careful of dead bees.
They can sting ya just as bad as live ones,
especially if they was kinda mad when they got killed.
Eddie: I feel like I was talkin' to myself.
Slim: I bet I've been bit a hundred times that way.
Eddie: Why don't ya bite 'em back?
Slim: I would, only I haven't got a stinger.
Eddie: Oh, I remember you. You're all right. She can come, Harry. It's
OK with me. Now I'll have the two of you to take care of, won't I?

Let's upgrade movies to the Wereo.
Sherry in Vermont
I've stepped on dead bees and been stung. Not saying it can't happen,
just that bees do not bite, only sting.
That dialogue is from a movie, I take it? I've read far more books than
watched movies... though I LIKE movies, I don't usually remember much
of the dialogue.
Sherry in Vermont
Sherry in Vermont
Ah - we don't get any pay channels. Rarely watch tv... except for a few
shows I hate to miss: Brothers & Sisters on Sunday nights, and 90210,
Lost, and Glee on Tuesday nights... though I am ticked it seems they've
overlapped Lost and Glee (different channels) so I'll be missing part
of one or the other.
Does the technology exist to watch one show on one channel and record a
second show on another channel?
Sherry in Vermont
Sherry in Vermont
We use Netflix... our local video store went out of business and a
rock/stone business is there now. I'll put it on our list. :) Thanks.
No, cable hasn't reached us yet... but we don't really watch enough tv
to make it worth paying for satellite, beyond the $12 a month for
broadcast channels.

Wouldn't that be awesome, though?

Unless I'm missing important context, here, because I'm jumping into a
thread:
I can record one channel and watch another
I can record two different channels at once and watch one of the two
channels I'm recording
I can record two different channels and play back a different
recording

The other great voice in this film is Bogart's. He isn't much to look
at, but daaaaaaamn his voice is sweet. I have no doubt he pulled quite
a few dames with that odd mix of bass and tenor.
It's an unusual voice, and very pleasing to the ear.
Sherry in Vermont
Yes, it would!
Now if only some genius would invent such a device, I am sure s/he'd
make millions!

I wasn't trying to be mean, Sherry. :) But I'm pretty sure any VCR or
DVR can record something while you watch something else. It's
technology that's been around for 20 years.
Andrew
http://www.tivo.com/ is a good start, but there are other models of
Digital Video Recorders that, in my experience, are less expensive and
also less effective.
I can't imagine watching television without a DVR.
Sherry in Vermont
Nope, not all of them VCR - mine is only 5 yrs old. It will record a
channel, but it won't record on a second channel while I watch one
channel. If it had that capability, I would use it!
Sherry in Vermont
Sherry in Vermont
Ah, I've heard of tivo, but did not realize you could record off
different channels than you are watching.
Despite Andre's best efforts, tech stuff evades me. And he doesn't
watch tv at all, so really could care less about the ability to record
anything.
Thanks.

Do you get youtube? Here's the final scene about the dead bees:

I love it when he puts his hands over his ears. Epic.
Brad Greer
Also, most cable and satellite providers can rent you a "DVR" or "PVR"
(Digital Video Recorder or Personal Video Recorder). Tivo was the
first brand of these types of devices.

We seldom watch television shows during their actual broadcast time
other than sporting events. And I skip about 90% of the commercials
as well.

I can't remember the last bit of television I've watched at home that
