    From Daryl Stout@1:19/33 to DON LOWERY on Saturday, February 15, 2020 04:38:00
    Don,

    Feel free to come on over to my BBS @ acmebbs.ddns.net:7788...if you aren't DL>already. Am adding VKRadio (am a Ham radio operator for several years) & DL>AmigaNet (had a 500 many years ago).

    Greetings from WX4QZ. :)

    Because FidoNet usually requires real names...will upgrade you usually after DL>work or before I go into work many afternoons.

    I require real names at logon and in the echoes, but once verified,
    aliases are OK. Yet, I still use real names in the echoes.

    I couldn't help but wonder if Marvin Acme (Who Framed Roger
    Rabbit) wrote the software. As he noted "If it's ACME, it's a
    gasser". <G> Their biggest seller was the hand buzzer. :)

    Signed up for BritBox a couple of weeks ago & saw the complete run they had
    of Mrs. Brown's Boys. If you get a chance to watch it...look at the costumes her middle son wears & the company name. We usually only see him costume &
    the stuff he's advertising with the costume is ACME something.

    Myself...love the Road Runner & Coyote...even more than Bugs Bunny. Gotta
    check on another user in fsxNet to make sure he's doing okay & if he can do some simple ANSI stuff like he's done for his board.

    Oh yeah! My favorite is the one where he talks to Bugs Bunny & shows what he really is. ;)

    In the movie "The Villain", Kirk Douglas (as Cactus Jack Slade,
    with the horse named "Whiskey") was the human epitome of Wile E. Coyote.
    Also, you had Mel Tillis as the Telegraph Agent...Foster Brooks as the banker...Ann Margaret as "Charmin'" (what her parents said when they
    found out her Mom was pregnant)...Arnold Schwarzenegger as "Handsome Stranger"...and Paul Lynde as "Chief Nervous Elk". <G>

    The last scene, was where Charmin asked Handsome Stranger what he
    wanted (she had constantly flirted with him, and he kept saying "I'll go
    get some wood for the fire"), and he said "To see justice done". So, she
    asks Cactus Jack Slade what he wanted, and he replied "I'm going to kill
    the sheriff (Handsome Stranger), then I'm going to ravish you".

    She turns to the sheriff and says "Sorry, Handsome. You Lose. Cactus
    Jack Slade here just outbid you". <G> She plants a big one on him, and
    he starts bouncing around, to the tune of "Merry Go Round Broke Down",
    that was the famous connection with the Looney Tunes cartoons.

    Remember seeing this. Great flick! Will have to see if I can find it on DVD
    or online to add to my server.

    Don,

    In the early part of the movie, Kirk Douglas (Cactus Jack Slade) told
    Foster Brooks (the banker) to do 3 things. Well, he did the first and
    third thing...and was told "you didn't do #2"...the reply was "I did
    that when you stuck that gun in my face". <G>

    Worked as a security guard when I was in college at a strip mall many years ago. Had a robbery I walked up on & he pulled a gun on me. Same effect of
