It's a toss-up as to which is the funniest television outtake of all time...

...Mrs. Slocumbe's pussy which is PURE gold!

*OR*

...Tim Conway's elephant story on the Carol Burnett Show where Conway starts ad-libbing and yanks total control of the show from everyone for four full minutes...only to have Vicki Lawrence end up owning him and the rest of the cast with six simple words at the end!

One of my favourites is the Inspector Clouseau lift fart outtake.

Try this one. It's full of 'em. It's Your Move

There are several more: "The Plank", and "a Home of your Own".

If you mean the cabin in the photo...I wish!

If you are asking about "The Cabin" being real as far as a group that came together to help each other improve as authors, yes it most certainly does exist. It's a small group with an intentionally limited membership (sixteen currently) that formed to go beyond what we were able to get here in the AH as far as true support, trustworthy and proven advice, help with moving into paid markets, and just "writer stuff" like editing and critiquing.

We have our own board with multiple forums, have published two anthologies (as a group) this year, both of which ranked #1 on Amazon in multiple categories, had several members dive into the eBook pool, been there for each other in times of crisis, illnesses, and even deaths...and all without the far-too-typical battle zones that kept erupting constantly here in the AH at Lit. Even with most all of us either ranked in the Top 250 authors and/or in the All Time Hall of Fames, along with multiple contest winners, egos stay in check in order to achieve the synergistic effect of group dynamics. It also helps a lot that many of us have met each other and our pen names have very real people attached to them now.

Basically, it's just a writer's group that was birthed at Lit. Far from being the only one that's been created here, although we did take it to a new level.

This group sounds great, i'd love to join in the future after I've proven myself. This group sounds elite.

Not sure "elite" is the best term but thank you for that comment.

Hello, Mer

The question is: Dinky? Or Matchbox?

Hello, Mer

The question is: Dinky? Or Matchbox?

For detail and quality, I'd have to go with Corgi first. Then Dinky. And finally Matchbox rounding out the top three.

Can you tell I am a pre-Hot Wheels baby?

Awww, could I love you more? Thinking of food even while playing chess . I used to say 'prawn' when I was little and playing chess, LOL.

Well, 'dinky' does make me think of sausages for some reason.

Would that be Vienna Sausages or those full-length Kielbasas?

How about: The Vietnam Memorial Wall?

Very True.
We have one (now). It's at Alrewas, near Lichfield in central England.

Very, very nice memorial, HP.

We have something similar here in Pensacola that even includes a full replica of the Vietnam wall in Washington. There are monuments to those lost in every war we've been in starting with that little tiff we had with England way back when. It's probably the finest memorial park I've ever seen anywhere in the world.

Course, the best memorial would be not needing memorial parks. But alas, we never seem to learn and keep repeating the same mistakes.

A brief look for some appropriate response got me a breeder of Yorkshire Terriers called FurKids, several shops selling ('festive') faux fur coats in children's' sizes.

It's difficult to comment this early on a wet Saturday morning.
