If you want a legal buzz, just order some beetlenut from the south pacific. Be forewarned though, your teeth will turn red, very red...

Did you ever chew? I tried it once, never again. It's a huge business here in Taiwan. For anyone curious go to
Spicy Girls and a Rotting Mouth, The Ballad of the Betel Nut [lettersfromtaiwan.blog-city.com]

There are a few pics aswell, enjoy.

Naw, shipmates did though, until the Skipper found out it was a narcotic...oooh boy.

Didn't he act in Mr. Mom? Seems to me he also portrayed Batman in the first movie made (and then decided sequels weren't such a great idea, the costume was too much to deal with...or something along those lines). Anyway, I don't recall him performing in any movie after that one... Hmmmm.

Betelgeuse (Alpha (α) Orionis) is a semiregular variable star located 427 light-years away [1]. It is the second brightest star in the constellation Orion, and the ninth brightest star in the night sky. Although it has the Bayer designation "alpha", it is not as bright as Rigel (Beta Orionis). It is a vertex of the Winter Triangle asterism.

Betelgeuse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So yeah, I was thinking about the quirky movie about a ghoul, and how I believed the writers named "it" for this star in Orion, when maybe they were really naming "it" for the nasty habits derived from chewing betel nuts...makes one wonder, just what was stimulating these writer's creative juices. It was a rather bizaar, if creative and humorous, movie. Just thinking in text...

Yeah...Mr. Mom...no wonder he bit it and left the biz...or it left him. My fave film of his was one he made with Henry Winkler (the Fonz) called Night Moves about two guys who run a call girl service out of a city morgue. Very funny and ridiculous, but it has a nice ending. Rent and enjoy!

Oh, and the film Beetlejuice was about the living dead I believe, and how they interact with normals. Don't know if the writers were implying Orion's belt mystical effects or not. It'd be interesting to know if they had been researching Egyptian mythologies and dynastic histories before doing the story.

I love Mr. Mom. And I thought he was the best Batman. Didn't he do some Shakespeare? Or was it Python? I get those mixed up sometimes, lol....

I wish to go there ;/ I ponder, is this where the Spice girls got their name from...

The Michael Keaton film was Night Shift, not Night Moves. Sorry.

That was Bob Seegar (sp?)

flowperson · 04-01-2007, 12:46 AM

Rightieo...Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band out of Detroit. Got a couple of concert tapes of Bob that I listen to quite often. Guess I got my films and song titles confused...but then, it's a confusing old world, huh ?

Thanks InLove...flow....

Hi flow--

Confusing? What confusing?? Who's confused???

Now, what were we talking about?

(Love some of Seeger's poetry and imagery--"Ship of Fools" "Fire Lake"....)

InPeace,
InLove

"Much Ado About Nothing" was the one I was trying to think of--thanks, Q--he was hilarious in that film! Very Monty Python.

InPeace,
