Bug Night

[Masha]

Sorry Masha, but I'm not getting the connection between that old idiom I used earlier "as cute as a bug's ear" and with the idea of something being edible???

The phrase is not in question.

You stated: "...to graze upon that actress..."

The most common definitions for that word are: "to eat small amounts of food periodically throughout the day" and: "scratching or injuring lightly".

I believe that you are sufficiently an old-school gentleman that you would not willingly hurt a lady and so the second definition is moot.

That leaves me with only the recourse that you agree with the philosophy expressed in: Motel Hell (1980): "Meat's meat, and man's gotta eat!" and wish to process her into snacks.

Oh, NOW I get it!

LOL

I must have reread that sentence of mine at least three times and still missed recognizing my typo there.

Thanks for the clarification, as I was beginning to think that there might be some kind of hors d'oeuvres out there named "bugs ears" I had never heard of!

(...wouldn't have suprised me none if there were, and considering there are already things called "pu pu platters" being served at parties across the globe, right?!)

I think that's one bug movie I haven't seen! Giant Slugs?????

TCM has shown this film starring Tim Holt (in one of this final film roles) and of course the previously mentioned (and as I said, the "cute as a bug's ear") Audrey Dalton a few times in the past, Hibi. I think I ran across their previous showing of it within the past two years or so.

It's actually not badly made at all, and in my view deserves a higher rating than the 5.7 that the IMDb website here has given it:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050722/

Strange that I've missed it all this time. I'll have to keep my eyes out for it.

"Poofreading is an art, not a science."

Well, you know how it is.

Some people are SO obsessed and preoccupied with finding the superfluous 'u' that they'll often overlook the superfluous 'r'.

(...well, that's my excuse here anyway, and I'm stickin' with it)

Thanks to all for solving this mystery. I also wondered if bug's ear was a slang term for a type of food!

Well, in November, Dargo could fest his eyes on a 50 foot smorgasbord.

I believe that the physics might prove a bit daunting.

Oh, wow, physics !!! Who knew? I care not for daunting. I shoulda studied that in college.

Those are some serious drumsticks.
tom thumb plays in November too.
Imagine 50 feet versus 6 inches.

I'm afraid your post calls to mind a couple of lines from Mae West:

Guess I should have expected that, plus it's funny.
My point, a 50 foot woman and a 6 inch man.
That's all I'm gonna say.

Paige! No!

My original intent was tom is 6 inches tall versus a 50 foot (600) inches tall female.
Thinking something not appropriate for a family forum isn't beyond me, but not what you think.
I used lower case for tom thumb, which is how I thought it was.
Not sure how I stumbled on that but I was wrong.
I do want to see Tom Thumb again but not the other one.
Sounds quite lame.
