Monday OT Is about Killing Time

Sometimes older daughter's lessons leave me stranded with little to do but wait. For instance, a few weeks ago, her one hour lesson stretched to over two; her teacher was leaving for a trip and insisted on finishing prepping the kid's piece. Two hours is a long time to sit in the dark in a car. Sometimes I go to the library. Sometimes I shop. Sometimes I write up Backtalk posts.

The first of a matching pair of clocks in a very good film noir.

Dana Andrews knows the time, but does he know the score?

Gene Tierney and the other clock. Tierney: What time is it?

Clifton Webb: Murder O'Clock!

Tension erupts into gastroenterological health instruction

(released in Europe as Rogue Heimlich, PI, in Japan as Wasabi Surprise!)
Shelby: Name your Price!
Mark: I name you VINCENT!
Shelby: WOW!
Laura: POW! 
Waldo: Now, now, mein Frau!

Your pretty face is going to hell

... AND that's how I killed time. Now I've killed yours too. At least you didn't lose a whole hour. Up next is whatever you guys choose to do with your time.
