Braling IINameshifter,
I just watched the 1951 Alastair Sim version of "A Christmas Carol". I still get misty at the end...

fjp451Mr. B found this story to be one of the most influencial in his life. He comments that the lessons Scrooge learned have moved him to the core. I recall an interview in which his emotions are very apparent and he chokes up just talking about the story's conclusion.
(Hmm! Where did this occur?)

rocketB-Two, I like that version very much. I remember it was close to the holidays when my kindergarden teacher set that movie up and we watched it in class. Have loved it ever since. Michael, sorry to you and all for the nameshifts, I was trying to condense my onscreen persona's into one namesake, I think I am finished...Dandelion, still electronic in here(My mind.) where it counts.

Braling IIDandy, didn't Grassy just vote for "Robert"?
As for what happened to Robot Lincoln, it's all there in "Down Wind From Gettysburg".

Braling IIWell, nearly getting back on topic, what I've been
listening to is "Laurel & Hardy's Music Box". Thanks, Butch! Just got it today.
Reading some James Harriot Christmas stories too.
Hey! Looks like Bot Is Back!
