We have black angus cows in the pasture behind our house. They eat all the leaves off the trees that they can reach and also are hard on the bark just like your pest. The only plant in the pasture that they don't bother are the blackberry briars. I guess that they don't like getting stuck.
I like the older movies. I prefer the 1976 version due to the actors in the film. It was an All Star cast with many of my all time actors. They just did it better IMHO
Not sure which Gettysburg movie it was, but recall being in hotel room in Germany in late-90's watching one dubbed into German !! Rather mind-blowing to try to follow.
Herr Pickett! Launch Der Blitzkreig!

Whoever we consult with to prepare these online seminars is waaaaay ahead of the "Diversity Matters" curve...The only time a white guy named "Bill" or "Jim" pops up is as someone who screwed up and got the company sued, or in the "Sexual Harassment in the Workplace" seminar, saying inappropriate things to all the gals named Juanita, Keisha and Rashida
I wonder why such names were used? Anyway, we must re-certify on records retention every two years.
My favorite over-dubbed American series broadcast in German was "Fackeln im Sturm" or "North and South" with Patrick Swayze, James Read and Kirstie Alley. My ex-wife and I were absolutely riveted to Books I and II of the series when episodes were translated and rebroadcast in Germany back in 1986 and 1987. One night, I missed an episode because of the field. She recorded it. Great stuff.
That new version was terrible. No names actors in front of a green screen while computers did all the work.
Think I've mentioned before that the only movie my Dad ever went to the theater to see was Patton. He loved it. Said Scott nailed Patton. And a number of scenes were as they actually happened because my Dad was there and witnessed it.
Was on a flight from LA to Atlanta. Was in first class and Denver was on the other side of the plane the row behind me. Wore sunglasses the whole flight with a hat...kind of hunched down in his seat. Guess he didn't want anybody to know it was him.Better than Bob Denver?
The original Midway is a classic, the newer one not so much.
Never heard of Anthropoid....I don't think. I'll have to look that up.
I'd like seeing "The Pianist". May check it out.
There's a good movie about Rommel that is German made. Fairly new...maybe 5-8 years old.
I might have to check those movies out, seeing as how I love WW2 movies. Thanks for recommending them.
My varmint problem has escalated the last several years.....the area I live in has blossomed with huge warehouses.......these mega buildings are running the wildlife to the nearby residential areas......I lived here for 35 years and never saw a rabbit, deer or most anything besides birds and squirrels.......in a 18 month period i trapped 23 ground hogs and lost track of the racoon and opossum.....I only set the traps inside my fence.....( 8" head traps).....I got two rabbits this morning.......just a few months ago a deer jumped my back fence and strolled up through the yard till the dogs woke up........coyotes ate three geese one night.....nothing else big enough to eat three nearly grown Talouse geese......only thing they left behind was a foot and a piece of a leg with a foot.......no feathers or anything......and a ground hog was back last fall......it was too late in the sesason to worry with him..........they will be back soon......they can't seem to resist sweet potato plants or bean vines.....they prefer pole beans......I got my traps set yesterday..........awf 23.....groundhog 0..........
Hollywood types only want our ticket dollars.......not our attention......
A major reason I retired last June from public service. It wasn't because I quit caring. I dealt with the truth and refused to negotiate my analysis or opinion without supportive evidence.
Yes, model numbers of Bose equipment?
I enjoy sub-titles........it's good reading exercise........
#416776 that is the smallest one.....I have two of them and a 20 and a 30......I can get them but will have to get a ladder out.....
If the film content is a language I know (German) or basically familiar (Spanish, Turkish), then sub-titles are not a problem. Love 'em because I usually learn something new about the language itself. I run into issues with Cyrillic (Russian, Slavic) Arabic and Asian (Chinese, Japanese) sub-titles and find them super annoying.
Another good movie I had forgot about. Some other good movies:
Just replenished my stock of German beer in my frig today. Only had 2 Binding's left and I got my favorite this time. Two 6 packs of Warsteiners. Jeztz meinen favorit habe ich. Zum Volle! Just in time for the softball games. Yep, they said they will have the fields ready tonight so...Play Ball!
I wonder what happens when they use the name Nikita as the woman who was harassed. Oh well, it is a name that can be used for both sexes I guess.
Stalag 17 for pure entertainment value. " Are ve gut little Nazi's? Ja ve are gut little Nazi's"
In my younger days, I played for a team sponsored by a bar. The first few drinks were free after a win. We went undefeated that year. Nothing like a little motivation!
Read 59 this morning, we are even!
