[sallybr]

Spotted or plain? (NT)

 

[Marg CDN]

That's the Dick and Jane story. Plain Jane and Spotted Dick. Or was Spot the dog?

 

[florisandy]

What the Dickens are you drinking tonight Marg?

 

[marilynfl]

ha!

 

[Marg CDN]

That's what I wondered when I wrote that. Alas...nothing. Didn't we all have 'readers' in school

with the story of Dick and Jane and their dog Spot?

 

[curious1]

I did, they were probably phased out before many here had readers. I will always remember

those simplistic sentences. It's a wonder we didn't die of boredom.

 

[maycee]

I did! Then the monks got tired of illuminating them and some dude invented the printing press.

 

[angak1]

there is some terrific "vintage" fabric out with Dick/Jane/Spot. very fun

 

[florisandy]

And modern... Has anyone seen the movie Fun with Dick and Jane? It's hilarious!!

Oh yes indeed and that's why I continued to look out the classroom window for many years...

 

[joe]

Yes! The early scene when George Segal is wandering through his house with all the workmen...

who suddenly stop when he tells Jane Fonda he's fired--Loved it. Didn't Jim Carey do a sequel?

 

[curious1]

They must have been around longer than I thought!

 

[florisandy]

Not sure, I'll have to look. If so, I bet Jim Carey did a great job. He's sooo funny!
