• Ventriloquists

    Joe,

    Old Yeller

    Was that the one with the dog??

    I watched the movie Old Yeller years ago and my then cat got to
    watching as well. She liked the ending the best. :)

    "Meow! Thank God that's over with". <G>

    That's as bad as ventrioquist Nita Condi (she can be as raunchy
    as Jeff Dunham at times). When her monkey asked her how long they
    had (they were on a late night TV show, after the local news),
    she told him "Maybe 2 or 3 minutes...I don't have my vibrating watch
    on"...and the monkey replied "Thank God For That!!" <G>.

    Both she and Jeff Dunham can get into R-rated material at times.
    Compare that to ventriloquists Darci Lynn Farmer and Todd Oliver,
    whose shows are strictly G-rated material.

    I saw Todd once in Branson, with his dog "Irving", and some of the
    clips are on YouTube. I've never seen Darci in person, but her shows
    sell out quick!! It was just 4 years ago that she won "America's Got Talent"...and it was awfully noble of her to invite runner-up Angelica
    Hale and her family, to come to Las Vegas with her, and appear with her
    on stage. I understand they are great friends.

    Angelica is a miracle in her own right. At 4 years of age, she got
    double pneumonia, and her kidneys were failing. Her Mom graciously
    donated one of her kidneys, and that saved her daughter's life.

    She liked the ending since Old Yeller was rabid and had to be shot. :)

    Oh, good grief. :P

    I think of the comic strip "Mother Goose And Grimm". The dog likes to
    drink out of the toilet, and he lives with a cat named "Atilla" (never
    mind the Hun <G>).

    One day, he said "Atilla!! I found Tootsie Rolls in your litterbox!!".
    Atilla growled "Grimmy...I have news for you". <G>

    ... I don't have time to wait for instant gratification.

    Sounds abeowwwt right!
    I've not seen it; the only classic tearjerker I've read is "Where the Red
    Ferns Grow." -- loved it!

    Tried reading Old Yeller, but the beginning descriptions of the abuse
    heaped on him were too depressing. If that's the story of the dog initially sold to be a sled dog? I know of the infanously sad ending, too, so nothing
    to look forward to, so I moved on to the next book in my then-current queue

    Have you tried selling your books in sets (same author, series, or genre)
    on eBay? I know individyually you're competing with the guys seling them fo
    1c!

    I watched an interesting video on how they can make money doing that & they
    do -- millions!

    Your friend,
