Updates on Marx Brothers, the Poop on Caterpillar Poop

Updating the previous posts below.

Unable to find Duck Soup in our local Borders and Best Buy, I was however able to acquire the MGM set of Marx Brothers movies, which includes Day at the Races and many others, though not some of the greatest which they did for Paramount earlier. (Borders' computer said they had one set in stock of the Paramount films. But no one could find it.) Sarah has now watched all the MGM movies except Room Service, which I expect she'll watch tomorrow. She's loved them all, even the ones (like A Night in Casablanca) I consider substandard. Harpo is her favorite, but she's definitely a committed Marxist at this point. Although she (quite rightly) thinks the musical numbers and romantic stuff is an intrusion in the insanity, she actually asked me to be quiet during one of Harpo's harp solos. (Some of the racial stereotypes in several of the films -- mostly blacks but also Indians in Go West -- are rather embarrassing to modern sensibilities, but she doesn't seem to be picking up on it. So we're not commenting. There were some stereotyped Chinese in The Big Store but I don't think she even knew what they were supposed to be. That's one stereotype I don't want her seeing too much of.)

The caterpillar love continues. Each evening that it hasn't been pouring rain she's insisted on handling, playing with, and moving caterpillars. They fascinate her. She put some on the hood of my car and they promptly disappeared into the vent; we opened the hood but could not find them. I hope the car starts tomorrow.

There is some growing confusion over what she previously thought was caterpillar poop, and whether it might have been something else because now something else may be caterpillar poop, and what is the green stuff anyway, and so on... I've tried to help using the internet but you know "caterpillar poop" doesn't bring much up on Google and "caterpillar blood" brings up some highly scientific incomprehensible stuff. Anyone know what the green stuff is? She now thinks it may be caterpillar spit.

Now you know.
