How about a little help for me here... A friend at another forum posted this...

Well, I've been sorting out my DVD/Blu collection, weeding out the DVDs that have been upgraded to Blu or just better DVD releases.

So, I thought, what better way to enjoy the experience than to give Addy some for his birthday, that he needs for his collection, but...not without providing some birthday torture of my own.   

So without further ado, Addy, your first birthday torture riddle from the Dark Knight:


I was sorting the collection last mid-nite
When my owl-like eyes spotted a motion
I almost squeled with fright
But the thought gave me a notion
Would Addy like these silky smooth delights
Like a pirateship on a calm ocean?

Can anyone help me with what that riddle is about?

[DSig]

"The Misfits" and "River of No Return", I think, show that Marilyn was actually becoming a pretty good actress.  Of course for me she was also very very good in "Gentlemen Prefer Blonde's" and "How to Marry a Millionaire".

I saw The River of No Return before...it is good.  My mom and step dad have the DVD now.
