Feeling confident, I got that one right...
Unless, of course, I'm wrong...LOL..
I'm going to load the next riddle poem...
~*~
This tongue in cheek movie
had the wacky flavor
of an old cult film,
titled Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
Joining ranks as comrades in arms,
it featured Elvis Presley, undercover;
and President John F. Kennedy,
incognito as Ossie Davis,
as it's happenchance,
"Here I am to save the day" heroes...
Or night, as in the case of this little flick...
Or were they Elvis and JohnBoy?
Perhaps, only in their heads...
A mental ploy to cope with the dragging,
nagging reality of their real lives
waiting to die in a nursing home,
of the deranged and the indigent
in Mud Creek, Texas...
In their let's kick ass threads,
one wore a white leather suit,
bedecked with glimmering silver studs...
The other, Italian loafers and dapper, elegant duds...
They went to war with a stinking mummy in cowboy boots
and a stetson hat, stalking the helpless
nursing home residents, sucking
the very souls from the infirm
and mentally weakened,
if not unhinged...
Their weapons
of mass mummy destruction...
A wheelchair, a walker, a spray can
of alcohol mixed with gasoline, a book
of matches and a lighter;
and a really, really stupid poem...
Anyway, this movie kept me company,
last eventide in the wee hours,
as it took me on a ride
of zaniness just when I needed
to laugh the most...
Tired from running from my own
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
But, of this movie, that isn't the title...
However, the title does ryhme
with the name, Johhny Depp...

Got the first one right after camera! The actor also played "Mike Hammer" way back when. Is one of my favorites. He died just last year. Sad.
The last one starred Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis called Babba Ho-Tep (spelling) about the geriatric adventures of Elvis and JFK! Horrible, HORRIBLE movie I love!

The last one starred Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis called Babba Ho-Tep (spelling) about the geriatric adventures of Elvis and JFK! Horrible, HORRIBLE movie I love! Now, Rob, if this was Jeopardy, I'd have to say, wrong...As you mispronounced it and/or mispelled it, it's BUbba Ho-tep, not Babba Ho-tep...rofl...As it's not Jeopardy, yes, you are correctomundo, Rob! And yes, it's like the dog so ugly it's cute, it's a horrible, horrible, terribly hehehelarious movie because of it's wacky, spoofy tongue in cheek humor and screwball lines...Ossie Davis and Bruce Campbell looked like they had almost to much fun making this movie...Didn't know there was an earlier version with the guy who played Mike Hammer...Wait, was his name STacy something? Keach? Or am I thinking of another version of Mike Hammer? LOL Sammy...It was The Addams Family, yes? Your riddle? I was pretty sure it was, so I didn't wait for your reply...I was burning to write this riddle up, too...Fingers took off of their own accord...Or that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Waves and grins, ya'll! Nir. Oh, anyone that feels game, load up the next riddle poem... I'm to braindead to think beyond the capacity of a slug at the moment...  |

~*~
Three friends larking it up through thick and thin...
One full of booze; one full of himself; and one with his hands
full keeping up with his buddies and their self-inflicted issues...
Coincidentally, or synchronicitously, individually, all three meet a woman...
Exotic and mysteriously entrancing to each of them...A female charminingly quixotic...
On a chosen lam, seeking a random destination in which to procure a fresh start...
For these three men, it just so happens, she lands in London, England...
Right square in the middle of all three of them...Intrinsically and outwardly
changing all their lives with her fiesty, if idealistic, joie d' vie before the end of the movie...
Someone should have told these wanderlusting old chaps, beware American women...
Given them a listen to either rendition of American Woman, by Hendrix or Kravitz...
They soothe with Polly Annaic wisdom and scratch with the ferocity of Cat Woman...
*movie title, released in 1999*

The Very Thought of You with Monica Potter, Rufus Sewell and Tom Hollander. Absolutely adorable romantic comedy...Lovely twist involving the counselor...Just caught the movie myself, though it was released in 1999...Gotta love the IFC and AMC channels when you can't sleep...

it was a cute one with just the right actors to play the characters...well, in my estimation, at least...LOL...doesn't make it so...haven't seen hardly any movies since I started to work, though...but, I'm working on getting my "second wind", so perhaps, that'll change...

this one says this about that one...
behind that one's back of course,
but, in front of America's face...
the beds in the bedrooms look funny...
like something from Alice in Wonderland...
after she waltzed through the looking glass...
one is sooooo stuck on herself and ever so crass...
another won the mushroom race but she lost
out in the pendulum bout...
one is the other's father...
looking like a wannabe rockstar...
in his forties, still wearing black nail polish...
no wonder his daughter disowned him...ggglgggl...
one has been chosen to do the audience's bidding...
another's name ryhmes with hick and trick...
and makes the mole sick with jealousy...
the entire show stinks...
it reeks of gossip and trifling tripe,
like the old show, Peyton Place...
but, I watch it with the family, anyway...

title of a current television "reality" show...

absolutely nothing! is wrong with you, Bronwyn! I absolutely abhor reality shows, but... I get a kick out of watching my sister and her husband watch this one...actually discussing it seriously and the absolutely vapid characters parading through it...they've never missed a season of it...and this is it's eighth one...hence, it's title... Big Brother 8...ggglgggl...  |
