Not so mysterious Island was directly across from the shoreline of the bed and breakfast.
The caretaker of the B&B had a great old golden Labrador retriever. And guess what his name is?
Trooper!
I know right.
Well the doggie was old and had a stroke but he was really friendly and would come up to you with a ball to have you throw so he could limp over and fetch it. He was old and tired but he tried really hard.
Anyway the owner kept calling him "Trooper come here....Trooper stop that.....Trooper leave those people alone."
Now this island was about 100 yards away from the shore and boats would pull up and people would get off. One group had another Lab with them. When Trooper saw that he was off and jumped in the water and swam over to the island. One of the other guest saw that and came in and told the lady that Trooper had swam over to the island. My wife was there and said "That idiot he is gonna get a heart attack!"
She ran outside and saw me sitting on the couch. False alarm. Wrong Trooper. Hee.

"Mysterious Island" was favorite rerun movie growing up (I never read the book). It's the one were the gays from the Civil War getting blown off course in a big balloon.
Am I right?
That memory just reminded me of another movie I used to anticipate seeing. I can't remember the name but it involved a bunch Spanish Galleons trapped afloat in the Sargasso Sea. They'd been there for hundreds of years, interbreeding and running around over the seaweed with these funky long shoes and wearing gas balloon device that kept them from falling through the seaweed. The finale of the featured a scene where the Spaniards captured the modern people (pretty gurl) and took them inside their ship. There, in the middle of hold was a big hatch which when opened revealed a big knarly snapper of beast with teeth which threatened to eat them. I don't remember how it all ended but all the bad guys fell into the beast before somebody burned it up.
If I googled that paragraph do you think I could find out the name of the movie? Or maybe I could just ask blake.
blake?
I won't even try to fix all those typos. lol
The Lost Continent, from Hammer Films!
Sorry to let you down, CL!
Those Hammer films were somethin', tho', weren't they?
Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing...I saw all the second generation "remakes" of the Universal Classics.
Hammer Films were in color which made the biggest difference. They must have spent a fortune on costumes. Plus the babes were lustier and bustier...what's not to like?
Any rare clumbers?
And they seemed to pick colors for sheer garishness, which is kind of cool to this day.
Althouse said we can say cunt.
cunts, fucking cunts, cunts with dildos in them.
cunty cunts.
Yea!
Liberation.
Freedom.
Cunts.
and
tits.
The only ball the homosapien Trooper would chase would be a ball of provolone.
Actually..since we know he loves caprese salad..make that a ball of mozzarella.
We went to Sorrento a few years ago and had buffalo mozzarella, it was a religous experience. That began the big night feast on New Years Eve[a family affair in Italy]. The feast ended w/ the sacramental limoncello! It was the best meal I ever ate in a non tourist restaurant in a coastal small town, south of Sorrento.
