Brevity by Dan Thompson for April 26, 2023

I prefer Poker Face for my Columbo-esque escapades.

Only thing missing would be a rumpled trenchcoat.

Is that the Santa Maria or the Peter Falk’s Wagon?

On the Turner Classics Channel?

Budapest. There is a life size statue do Columbo downtown. I’ve seen it.

Later, as he’s about to leave, he turns around and says: “Just one more thing …”

He was looking for the Falk-land Islands.

Yeah but he always smoked cheap cigars….

I understand that he was also Robin those he “discovered”.

You are here kemosabe.

The native response: “That’s us! We the heckawi!” [bowdlerized version ;-) ]

Fun fact! Peter Falk had a glass eye. He would watch the playbacks and if his glass eye looked off, he would refilm the scenes.

I thought he asked ‘Is-a stat an island?’ getting credit for naming a NYC borough.

Umm, I’ll be back, to ask more questions, so don’t leave the Island!

did he land in the Falklands?

If those natives are hostile, I’d say he’s Falked.

I hear the NBC Mystery Movie theme in the background.

Sure itsnot the Indians in F Troop?
