guy and gal with a rock

Oh... and did I mention there was bingo, too?

"No, dearie, you did not."

Well, there was, but it was a little later. You know, this being the first Monday of the month.

"Sure, if'n you say so. Let's get back to the title, shall we?"

You mean about there being Guy and Gal...

"Yeah, that. You were watching two kids playing?"

Hahahaha, that's funny! No, I was watching a movie. It might as well have been a travelogue! First they were in Italy, in Roma. Then the scenery changed, because they'd bounced over to Bali in the next 56 hours, or something like that. Then we were all whisked back to Rome and, from there, to a frozen prison out in Russia. All in less than four days!

"Good Lord, that's a lot of jet lag to get over!"

I know, right? But they went straight from there to Valencia, Spain - which I'd like to see, for its science museums - then into the jungles of Argentina. Oh, and they ended up in Eqypt and a wedding that rivaled the one in "Crazy Rich Asians"!

"Wow, that's a lot of travel going on!"

Yeah, and I think it was all done in less than a week!

"And just what was the reason for all that rushin' 'round?"

They were trying to find some loot from Cleopatra's tomb. It was like some crazy Mad Hatter version of an Easter egg hunt. Really quite humorous!

"Are you talking about "Red Notice"??? Did you go over to Hilton Head to see it after all?"

I am, indeed, waxing on about that one! And, no, it was playing over at the GTC in Pooler. I do so hope that new cinema being built on Eisenhower is a GTC! I am so tired of AMC showing previews that whet our appetite, then never, never, ever giving us the movie. In fact, there are two that fit that description, seen as tasty tidbits on an AMC screen, but not brought for us. "Spencer", about Princess Diana, and "The French Dispatch", from Wes Anderson, are in Pooler at the GTC, but not in Savannah. My A*List last week had only two movies on it, thanks to AMC selling us short.

"Calm down g'friend, it's gonna be alright."

It's just a bit frustrating. It's especially so when I see that Statesboro has two movies - two! - at its AMC that are not playing at either AMC in Savannah. I'm toying with the idea of driving there for the Anderson movie, even though that's going to add at least two hours' drivetime to the movie venture.

"Let's get back to this post title, dear. A guy and a gal with a rock?"

(smile!)

Well, that's my little joke, you see! And it isn't "a guy" and "a gal", by the way. It's "Guy" - as in Ryan Reynolds, right? And then there's "Gal", last name of Gadot. Last of all, there's Dwayne Johnson, who will forever be The Rock in my book. So... Guy and Gal with a Rock! It was definitely right place, right time, too. My odometer told me so! The mileage had rolled up to 220 330.

"Hahaha! You really enjoyed it, didn't you?"

I did, I really did! It offered a puzzle to be solved, with twists in alliances along the way, and took place in so many different locales! Honestly, it had the feel of "Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard", but without all the coarse language. And like in that one, Guy's character didn't use guns, even when everyone else did. I wonder if that's a personal choice that Ryan Reynolds is pursuing?

"I'd think that would be a hard restriction on the director and the script..."

Hey, just surmising here, don't fret about it! Oh, and one more thing that's similar to the other movie: he ends up on a yacht with the other two! Funny, right?

"Most def! I hope to see that one again some time."

That would be nice. Maybe it'll stay through next week, but we'll see.

"Not to change the topic..."

You're wondering about the B-I-N-G-O games, aren't you?

"Hey, you mentioned it way back when this post started..."

So I did, so I did! Yes, tonight was time spent with the kids in Kansas City, aka the KC Crew. It's still the fastest 90-minute online event ever!

"I'm so glad you have this to look forward to every month! But who's this fellow?"

That's Logan, with trainee Julie off to the left. Logan was new to me, but he caught on that I was an active regular and pretty soon he started reading my chat quips aloud to the other 150 players tonight. Yeah!

"That's a good way to encourage others to have fun, isn't it! To be a participant, not just a wallflower!"

You've got that right! That's me, balls to the wall or not at all! (smile!)

"Hey, I recognize her!"

You should! That's Audrey and she's usually with Katie, but not this time. She even greeted me, saying my name! By the way, she and Logan share a birthday, and she'll be 28 and he'll be 30.

"Oh, they're not that young, then. Yeah, but they're still kids to us, eh?"

For sure. And here's a funny story! She read the trivia questions for that sixth game, and this particular one was "What kind of animal is Bambi?" Well, everyone knew it was "a deer"... but she thought Bambi was a girl! As I told her: "Bambi is a boy and he has a nice rack!"

"Hahahaha! I bet she caught some kidding about that!"

Oh, she did! But it was all in good fun and she took it like a real trooper!

"She's really a sweet girl. I can't imagine she'd take it any other way. Now, what's that you've whipped up for dinner?"

Well, it isn't soup! I've had soup, soup, soup for the last three days and I wanted something I could sink my teeth into tonight! It's that stir-fry Asian I make from the Chopped Salad kits, only I added some broken sketti noodles for crunch. So, you know what's next, right?

"I do! Bye! Enjoy! Later!"

(smile!)
