Bob, Bob, Bob. Have you been to a nickelodeon in the past, oh, eighty years?
The motion pictures are in color now, and the music and the actor's words are
actually heard at the same time.
My DVD collection is totally of the great silent days.
Talkies and color are for you young chatty whippersnappers.
Distracts from the plot, ya know!
DVDs? That's at least two or three generations of technology too recent
for you, Unk.

When BOb says "DVD", he's referring to "Dichroic Viewmaster Disks."

Ah, all is clear now!

That John Belushi P-40 landed on a paved road and
then taxied to a gas station that was located ON DIRT.

But it was a *dusty* paved road. :-)

not a hapless cetacean.

Humongous whales.... HAPPLESS?!?!?
Tell that to Hemingway, Spencer Tracy and the Old Man in the Sea.

If you want to see a Fly Baby video with a nautical soundtrack, this is
the one:

Music from: ........The Sea Hawk (1940)
Staring: ...............Errol Fly-in(n) as Capt. Thorpe

...although it should make you want to attack a Spanish galleon, not a
hapless cetacean.

Oddly, folk music does that for me .... the attack a whale thing.

Through Children's Eyes (1962) ...sample songs

Mont-blacklisted

We struck that whale, the line paid out
But she gave a flourish with her tail
The boat capsized and four men were drowned
And we never caught that whale, brave boys
And we never caught that whale

"To lose the boat", our captain said
"it grieves my heart full sore"
But we know the losing of that hundred barrel whale
Well, it grieved him ten times more, brave boys
It grieved him ten times more
