the members of the club about the advisability of doing so [people were
interested] and so he has begun to put wheels on the cart*

*Reviews*:
Julie reviewed 'Shrek 3' on digital as not as good as '1' or '2', but
still decent although the theme is worn, worth matinee; I follow-on'd
that the music was pretty awful and it annoyed-more-than-entertained me
with its offensive female stereotypes, worth matinee
Andy reviewed last week's Dr Who as the pacing was insane, done in
quasi-real-time, the special fx were gorgeous & worth stealing; plus
reviewed the Eurovision song contest as 'a bad song is never improved by
a live performance' and either worth stealing - or throwing things at
the screen [there were follow-on's]
Lisa reviewed 'Next' as fairly decent and worth matinee
Dave C reviewed Langford's 'The End of Harry Potter?' - a book of Potter
mania as as he recommends it as worth full price [and the follow-on was
'Langford, you dog' {??}]
Harold reviewed Penn and Teller's 'Bullsh*t' as often quite funny,
unbiased and one0sided in their opinions and worth watching; he also
reviewed 'Waitress' as a hysterical comedy and not to see it on an empty
stomach
Chris reviewed the 'King of the Hill' and 'Simpsons' season finales as
it was a wonderful day to be a wrestling fan and reviewed 'Witch of
Cologne' as a flying book special - about 25 pages into it, the book
took flight
Howeird reviewed 'Jekyll and Hyde' as lots of fun, lots of work and he's
glad it's over
We birthday auctioned off Adrienne to Chris for $1.00 [and her name is
now 'Toby']
*Then we auctioned off: the Mad collection for $10.00; books for $0.50,
$0.75 & $0.50; a pie kit for $2.00 & magazines for $0.50*
*We adjourned at =* 9:47
*And the rumor of the week was* that = 'JRR Tolkien will rise from the
grave to strangle Dave Langford'
