Say No to Grandpa Joe

Good afternoon all, just wanted to pass along an interestin' and funny link I found the other day after watchin' the movie "Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory". Yeah, I know.... but I admit that I still enjoy that movie, as it takes me back to when I was a kid and life didn't seem to rush by at the pace it does now. Odd tidbits of wisdom can be found in that movie, as ol' Willie was the source of my first exposure to any sort of philosophy. LOL*

"We are the makers of music, and the dreamers of dreams" -Gene Wilder as Willie Wonka

Good words to live by, in my honest opinion.

Now to explain the title of this latest installment, "Say No to Grandpa Joe", I found a website called "Say No to Grandpa Joe: Exposing the Truth", someone took great levels of investigative care in explaining why Charlie's grandpa is as they call him "a ratbag, and an industrial spy". LOL* The whole site is worth reading, and even the comments placed by visitors are entertaining, the site is safe for viewers of all ages. (unless they're a big fan of ol' Grandpa Joe in the movie)

Hi Mary C, thanks for leaving a comment on ol' Grandpa Joe. LOL* I would recommend renting the movie one day. It's funny how movies can take us back to a simpler time in our lives, as this one always does for me. Just prior to watching the movie, sit back, relax, and think of a time in your youth that still makes you smile to this day, that's the best way by to enjoy a movie like Willie Wonka. Have a great day, and thanks for reading!
