Mo announced that they are moving and need boxes desperately

Reviews:
Jo reviewed 'Kung Fu Panda 2' as an excellent direct-to-DVD  follow-on but
that it wasn't exactly a movie

Adrienne reviewed 'Feed' by Mira Grant [Seanan McGuire] as hard for her to
struggle through and that there was too much exposition; Chris follow-on'd
that he couldn't finish it, I follow-on'd that I found it a quick read and
enjoyed it & especially enjoyed that the author lied to the readers because
the protagonists were being lied to

[tall] Kevnin - AKA 'Cuddles' reviewed that as he drove back from Oregon he
passed from winter to spring to summer - and that it rained mightily upon
him when he was in Oregon & he heartily recommends 'Camp 18' in Oregon as an
excellent restaurant

Ed [see announcements] also reviewed 'Super 8' as the best train crash ever
- Chris followed that 'The Case' was an excellent little film & then Ed
reviewed 'Green Lantern; as a well-done comic book

Dave C reviewed the syfy 'Moby Dick' as he could only take 2 minutes of it
before fleeing the house to go see 'Troll Hunter' - a 'documentary' & in
comparison he gives it his full out recommendation & that it was worth full
price [Bill's comment was 'so this was Mutual of Oslo's Wild Kingdom?']

Harold reviewed 'Falling Skies' as worth whatever the hell is shown Sundays
['Not Iron Chef! - last night was Battle lemon!'] - while Andy followed that
it wasn't a complete crapfest & [evil] Kevin wanted his 4 hours back; then
Harold reviewed 'Countdown' on Current TV as he plans to keep watching it &
reviewed 'Cave of Forgotten Dreams' as highly recommended in 3D and had
pretentious narration

[evil] Kevin reviewed a 'Vex of Velociraptors' as excellent

Mo - AKA 'Fluffy' - reviewed 'King of Kong' as  really worth watching

Carole reviewed Whoopi Goldberg giving a talk ash she is a very enjoyable
speaker who uses the 'f' word a lot, but it was still worth full price

Chris reviewed 'Super 8' & '5 Guys Burgers' as both are highly recommended &
reviewed 'Xmen 1st Class' as the fx were very good & worth $3.85

we adjourned at 9:28 pm

Rumor of the Week:  'Chris wishes he had issues'

And then there were auctions:   birthday auctioned off Carole for $9.00 to
Bill & then other things were sold
