"I got this little Zambesi ...." It was always a big day at school when Al and his wife showed up! The clanging bell at the start of the film was cause for great anticipation. I remember the year they went to the Everglades. Their boat was coasting through a swamp when out of the tree above them fell this long, thin black shape. We all squealed and recoiled before Al lifted the man's belt from the bottom of the boat. Another trick of the film was the year that a red station wagon careened off the road and down the side of the mountain, only to be followed by a hand reaching down and lifting the toy from its place. I was not aware of the book - will have to get it.

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
