I am four posts away from 2000, and I am watching the movie "Picnic".
William Holden sure did look good without a shirt.

Ask me anything, I just want to reach 2000 already.

2. The movie Picnic was released in 1955.
The movie is about what happens when Hal Carter comes to a small town on Labor Day to look up a fraternity buddy hoping to find a job. Hal falls in love with his friend's girl.

The whole movie takes place on Labor Day, and I find the movie an interesting slice of the 1950's.

Paul Newman would have been better in the movie, William Holden was just to old at 37.

5. Yes, in color. The movie had great cast.
The movie isn't played on tv very often, it is a shame. The DVD was hard to find, finally had to order it.

I believe that it was a very popular movie when it came out.

The song Moonglow was in the movie.

4. Well, let's keep you going!
I want to see you get to 2000 tonight!

After all, I just got to 20K myself!

We'll both be in newyawker's thread tomorrow, or whenever she does her next one!

Won't that be excellent?
