[Sca-cooks] OT: I feel ill...

[Carper, Rachel]

OOOOH! Could you suggest a movie about the smuggling of the coffee plant
out of, um Spain I think it was? The guy put his wife up to seducing the
diplomat who was in charge of guarding the coffee plant, which was only
grown in that country at the time. She got a sprig and gave it to her
husband who smuggled it out of the country only to be followed by the
diplomat. There was a great sea chase and battle, but our English hero
triumphed and got the plant to England. Who then sent it to the Caribean
to be grown. I always thought it would make a great movie.

Funny, I was just explaining Bubba Ho-Tep to Lainie. Something to do 
with an off-hand (no, really, no pun intended) comment about following 
through short of floods, hail of fire, or a Million Elvis March up the 
Interstate. Apparently, Army of Darkness and Bubba Ho-Tep are just not 
in her prefered genre.....

And Bruce is a local boy. Given where we live, being talented and 
enjoying one's work regardless of popular acclaim is about par for the 
course.

Mmmm....maybe I could talk him into doing a biographical film on Apicus 
or Taillevant. :)
