Doctor Hoffman was both embarrassed and disgusted when she realized that what she thought was a candy dish was really an ashtray. Not one to resist the flavor of lemon flavored gumdrops, Doc Hoffman soon discovered she was sucking on a cigar butt.

I have seen this couch form in several 1960's movies lately.

The one other thing I'll say about this is that if you survive to be very old, you get to say what you think as bluntly as possible and to hell with the consequences.  It may not be pretty or respectable, but I see it as one of the perquisites of the very old.

That would be me...

I was thinking about Quentin enjoying the dubious pleasures of the village, I wondered who his parents were. I couldn't find anything about this, but I know I've seen it here before. I think I have, anyway.

I'll drink to that. Happy birthday! ::hic::

I think the best smoocher is Quentin.
The absolute worst is faux Burke and Vickie. Watching their scenes together, one has a sense that the actors are way uncomfortable with one another. Every time I watch these scenes, I get the feeling that Alex Moltke is repulsed by Anthony, whatever the hell his name is.
I've recently read a bio on Jimmy Cagney and he said that Anthony George was a mess. It shows. I think he does a nice job as Jeremiah, but this actor doesn't hold a candle to Mitch Ryan's Burke.

Actually, the capture that inspired this topic is the one where Tony is peering through the Old House window at Barnabas sucking on Carolyn's neck.
