Too silly not to share...

ramblin_rosieSo I've been watching the special features disc from my 65th Anniversary Adventures of Robin Hood DVD, and this one part has me giggling madly.
One of the features is Breakdowns of 1938, the blooper reel put together for all the Warner Brothers movies at the end of the year. And this one had something of a running gag--interspersed throughout the reel were snippets of a film test with Basil Rathbone, completely straight-faced, trying on helmets for Guy of Gisbourne's first encounter with Robin Hood. The first few times it isn't all that funny, but it goes on... and on... and on... through allll the close shots... and then toward the end they have the wider shots, sped up and with sound effects that get sillier and sillier. And then, at the very end of that bit, when Basil's finally done and puts the last helmet at an angle and strikes a silly pose, there's a snippet of music played over it:
"Little man, you've had a busy day...."

Pooky had an incident, and we thought he was dying...he grew a huge lump on his left shoulder/upper arm, and the vet gave him an antibiotic in case it's an abscess, but the drug threw him for a loop and he was sicker on it than without it. He's off the drug now, and back to his old self as far as behavior and habits are concerned, but the lump is still there, having only shrunk a little bit. *sigh* There's a good chance that it's a cyst...he has two other cysts elsewhere...very tiny compared to this one, though. It breaks my heart to see him limping! It obviously hurts! He'll be 14 this month, and has diabetes...I know that wounds and injuries heal slower in diabetics, but I just wish that the thing would shrink to a size that's more managable for him! Mom and I are praying our brains out! Poor little guy!
