You said that when you saw the Cookie Monster YouTube video, you didn’t pay attention to what
Cookie’s favorite curse word is or which muppet Cookie would like to see on a new dollar
bill:

that you’ll probably get a kick out of what he

over to Oscar.” And after you learn what

on a new

cast:

one.”
> Cookie: “Well uh me have favorite dirty word.”
> Cookie: “Yah this filthy word.”
> Cookie: “You ready?”
> Cookie: “Ready for this one?”
And just before I said that, I wrote in the same message:

Incase the video I sent you the link to is not the right one, maybe something we could do
when you’re here tomorrow afternoon is go on YouTube and see if we could find it ourselves. We
could have fun watching different videos. And maybe another afternoon when you’re here we could
have Mac over and all three of us could sit at the computer watching YouTube videos.
One of Sherlock Hemlock’s most famous
segments on “Sesame Street” is "X Marks the Spot," here’s a
YouTube video of him singing it. The imagery of X-ray machines and bottles of poison used during
that segment frightened many young viewers. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but was it him who’s
most well-known catchphrase was
”it's all elementary, my dear Watson?”
I said this in the message I sent you last Saturday (the 22nd):
> We also talked about a lot of different movies
when you were here last Monday (on the 17th), but I’ll save what I have

message is now eight pages long plus I should probably wait to

the ones that I already sent you...
You read to me in the newspaper
that “Horton
Hears a Who!” and “Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” just came out in
theatres. I’ll remind you first though about what I said in the message I sent you on Sunday
Feb.24,2008:
> ...I haven’t watched movies with my mom since before the altercation a few days into the
beginning of 2005. There
> were many times since that altercation when I had planned to watch a movie with my mom but
either there would
> be another altercation or something else that would stop me...
I’ve seen “The Wizard
of Oz” a few times and I thought that it was really good, but of
course it’s been a few years since the last time I saw it. One thing I remember seeing in this
movie is when Dorothy's house lands in Munchkin Land and then the Good Witch of the North
advises her to follow the yellow brick road, I saw a red brick road starting there too before
Dorothy follows the yellow brick one. I always wondered where that red brick road leads to.
• I think I remember telling you when you read to me about this in the paper that day that I
already know that the movie “Horton Hears a Who!” will be based on the Dr. Seuss book of the
same name. And Jim Carrey who you told me will be doing one of the voices in that movie also
played “the Grinch.” I
also remember you told me that “Horton Hears a Who!” will be a computer-animated film like
“Ice
Age” or “Toy Story” for
example. I own “Ice Age” on DVD but haven’t seen the
sequel yet. For the last ten years computer animation was the only
kind of animation that I’m interested in. I have gotten attached to not wanting to watch
animated feature films such as “The
Lion King” or
Aladdin since
the time when my dad couldn’t accept me for who I am being one to watch cartoons while at High
School age. Also back when I went to school, my dad wanted all the friends that I would have to
be normal kids and didn’t like me to have other special needs kids in the house.
• When you read to me about “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” I remember you reading that Karen Allen who played in
“Raiders of the Lost Ark” is returning to the big screen with Harrison Ford. She shares both the same first and last name with my aunt. I own the fullscreen DVD franchise which includes “Raiders of the Lost Ark,”
“the Temple of Doom,” and
“the Last Crusade.” And also I heard sometime within the last year about plans to remake those three. I’m also into the Indiana Jones video games series most recently completing
“Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine” six years ago. I got
“Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb” for my 21st birthday four years ago, but haven’t played it yet nor have I even opened it. I previously told you that I haven’t played any games on the computer for a few years until I played that Catz game with you a few weeks before Christmas. I also completed
“Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis“ back when I lived in Whalley and I still have the game upstairs right now, it will probably run on the ol' Pentium 133 MHZ in my bedroom. Before “The Fate of Atlantis” came
“Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” which I also played the
graphic version of when I lived in Whalley, but didn’t get to the end of this one. This game is based on the third and final installment in the movie franchise BTW. I own not one, but two legally boughten copies of the graphic version both on 3.5 inch floppy discs. Both my copies only support the internal speaker on newer soundcards including my P133’s soundcard and neither copy has voices. I had always wondered if a newer version of the game had come out on CD-ROM since then where voices were added and where the sound was upgraded and made compatible with newer soundcards. The version that I own of “The Fate of Atlantis” is on CD-ROM, has voices, and is compatible with newer soundcards. And I also own
“Indiana Jones and His Desktop Adventures.”
While we’re on the topic about movies, I’ll tell you that I’ve seen all three movies in the
Back to the Future trilogy
and I now own the fullscreen Complete Trilogy on DVD. And you asked me when you
were here two days ago (on Monday the 24th) if I’ve seen “The Karate Kid,” I’ve seen all
three movies in that series;
The Karate Kid (1984),
The Karate Kid, Part II (1986), and
The Karate Kid, Part III (1989).
When Serena was here last month on Monday Feb.25,2008 and I took her upstairs and showed her my bedroom, she saw my “Puss in Boots’s” poster on the wall from the movie
“Shrek 2.” I
also saw Antonio Banderas, who played the voice of Puss in Boots’s character in “Shrek 2,” in
the
Spy Kids
trilogy. And I saw Julie Andrews, who also did one of the voices
in “Shrek 2,” in
“The Princess Diaries.” I
only saw the first one in that series and haven’t yet seen the
second
one. Anyway, when Serena was here that day she told me that she
has “Shrek 2” on DVD (a legal copy). I then told her that I copied that movie and then
she agreed with me and said, “That’s the way to do it.” It’s so expensive to buy most movies on
DVDs, somewhere around $25 while it’s much cheaper ($5) to rent the DVD movie and then
copy it.
Another thing Serena told me when she was here that same day was that she likes the older DOS
games too. I then told her that I’m probably the only person in the world who still has a
Windows 3.1 operating system. You know that I prefer those games to the newer/current ones
because they have larger graphics that are easier for me to see.
That’s it for movies, now I’ll list which songs I remember you singing when you were here on Monday two days ago:
• Do You Know The Way To San Jose - Dionne Warwick
• Downtown - Petula Clark
• Woolly Bully - Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs
• I also remember you whistled that same day yet again “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy...I Got Bugs In
My Tummy.” And incase you were waiting to see if I knew that this one is a spoof of The Ohio
Express’s biggest hit “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy:”
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy.
I Got Love In My Tummy,
• And you didn’t sound like Pumbaa this time when you sang "A wimoweh, a-wimoweh a-wimoweh,
a wimoweh...”
And here are the other excerpts from the message I sent you last Saturday (the 22nd)
that I asked you if you read and then you said that you either missed, forgot about, or skipped
over these:
> P.S. This is the best I could find for images of Easter cats, and I’m disappointed that I couldn’t find any Easter
> cat smilies (again AKA emoticons).
>
> In addition to the following images, check out

on Flickr photo sharing website...
> My mom’s pretty sure there was a guy named Brian who worked at “Show-time Lighting” when David worked there
> in the late 1990s though she’s not 100% sure. This was back when they were in the same Surrey complex
> where David had his two locations and before David first started his own business. They since moved to
> Burnaby after David
stopped working for them...
My dad flushed that big male molly that was in my 38 gallon just after he got home today at
around 5PM, he had finally passed. That was the only big male that I had left, before I buy
anymore males I’ll wait and see first whether any of the males that he brought down from
upstairs grow a sail fin once they are big enough to do so. I also no longer have any big
females right now, again I plan to wait and see if any of the small females that my dad brought
down live to grow big enough to breed.
