The Abduction Club

When Shaela C. wrote on Facebook that she was watching the "BEST chick flick ever", my interest was piqued. Being a girl and never having watched the “BEST chick flick ever” was simply not to be born! I wasted no time in finding The Abduction Club on YouTube. I was pleased and excited to find another movie I would love to add to my collection.

The younger sons in England have a terrible problem. They will inherit no estates; they are forced to either earn a living or marry a lady of property and wealth. Our leading men, Burns and Strand, are some just young men who lack an estate. Being men of low ambition, they join the Abduction Club. As members, they help one another kidnap eligible young ladies and ask them to wed. What follows is a delightful romp in absurdity and hilarity.

The kidnappers are pursued around the country by the jealous rival, Mr. Power, and the English redcoats. The ladies are a trial by themselves. Anne is delighted to be away from Mr. Power, while Catherine keeps trying to escape. All the while, Burns is trying to woo Catherine to his side. Strand just wants to convince Anne that he isn’t predictable. Not to mention that a ruffian has made them wanted for murder…

Despite Burns’ and Strand’s selfish beginning, we see them grow into men of honor and character. The two young ladies who are cursed (perhaps blessed?) to find themselves kidnapped are humbled and are formed into sacrificing women.

This story is undoubtedly absurd. There is no doubt about it. However, I found myself lost in the story. The kidnaps of the ladies, the chases by the soldiers, the escapes from the horrid Mr. Power, the duel, and final ending all thrilled me. If you need a diversion that is frivolous, but nonetheless endearing find The Abduction Club on YouTube. Or if you’re brave enough… buy a copy from Ebay. I don’t think you’ll regret it.

Ahh! Car Trouble

Hi everyone!
I survived... but barely. Just kidding. For those of you who are feeling a little lost, my brother and I traveled to Fairmont this morning to help teach Contra dances. After practice was over, we went to the car... and the car wouldn't start. After some fancy diagnosis from Mr. Kincell, we called AAA.

Then after a lengthy conversation with a AAA woman (and my parents), Daniel and I waited at Trinity Assembly of God for the tow truck. Sitting in a cold car is not the most awesome way to spend a 1/2 hour of your life.

Then, I decided to try starting the car again... Lo and behold, it started. (About this time, I started calling the car a "moronic machine.") So, what to do now? The car needed gas, but I wasn't sure it would start again...

Thankfully, the Kincell's brought us lunch... So we didn't starve. We turned on the car's heat and waited for the tow truck... AAA then called, I explained to the woman about our freakish car, and she arranged for us to meet the tow truck driver at the gas station.

We got gas, and the car started. So presto! No tow truck needed. And Daniel and I made it safely home... After 2 hours of weirdness. Thanks be to God.

Our favorite quote of the day:

"I just put two bucks in this thing!"

*Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the occasion and take time to pass it on and share that smile with someone else who may be having a crumby day and kneads a lift.*
