Another fave is the movie-making one where there's the long chase scene with cowboys, Indians and then Julia Andrews and the kids from <i>The Sound of Music</i> all running down the hills -- and then one of the Indians stretches his bow, lets the arrow fly and down goes Julie Andrews. My brothers and I were laughing so hard, my mother came in to see what it was and we were laughing too hard to be able to tell her. Wonderful!C.
