OK you haven't seen it, then check out Florence Foster Jenkins (2016) - IMDb[^] most of the humour is in the facial expressions ...

I saw that one, too, but Streep almost always annoys me, and Helberg was even more annoying.

Yes, one of Helberg's less annoying moments.
I'll admit that the movie got a few laughs out of me (which is a lot more laughs than a lot of "great hollywood comedies", e.g. There's Something About Mary, ever managed), but Streep's "Look at me! I'm *** Acting!***" cheap gloss still shines through the veneer too often.

Well, if your private crop duster flies, that would be a great name!
No, I did not know there was a film : )

That is an observation of Olympic proportion.
However, I do also wonder if you bought a slow yacht, would it be referred to as a snail boat?

Phil Chess[^] Not terribly well known outside of the Blues, he along with his brother Leonard founded Chess Records and recorded some of the greats, Muddy Waters, Etta James, Chuck Berry, Howlin Wolf, Willie Dixon to name a few. Oddly enough, my son recently did a report on the Blues, me and the missus took him down to the old Chess Studio in Chicago 2120 South Michigan Avenue[^], where we sat in the same studio as a lot of legends, where even he admitted that it was cool.

Wow! I was always under the impression he died in the '70s (like everyone!) must have been Leonard, to sit at ground zero in the Chess studio...dude!

In the building is Willie Dixons' standup bass, I asked his grandson (a museum curator) if I could play, it to which he said sure. So here I am holding the bass that played on 'Little Red Rooster', 'Hoochie Coochie Man', 'Spoonful',... WTF!, yeah it was cool!

I did not know they had Willie Dixons bass there, I always though it had been cosumed by the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame or ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) forbid the Hard Rock Cafe and its spawn. Are you a Upright Bass Player, my feeble attemps to play one when I was at school was sobering...

I try, though I'm not good. The historical aura that this thing had, for me was pretty profound.

Do you really think that a Muzquizopterix ever met and fought against an Archaeopterix?

No, but I do believe that Asterix fought Obelix, while Vercingetorix looked on...

Both were at Alesia? And they fought against each other while not only Vercingetorix, but also Cesar and his Romans watched?
I doubt that. Obelix does not run out of steam and would have mopped up the Romans for dessert. If he had been there, we would have to change the history books.

Alesia was before Getafix had first brewed the potion, or Caesar and his legions would have lost there as well.

Correct, and what potion did Obelix fall into as a kid? And was was Alesia the last chance to meet Vecingetorix before Julius ... retired him?
