WELCOME to WEDNESDAY JULY 8th, 2026

Here’s The Story….
Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, there are two prawns, one named Justin
and the other named Christian. The prawns are constantly being threatened by sharks.

One day Justin says to Christian, “I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn’t have any worries
about being eaten.” A mysterious cod then appears, and says, “Your wish is granted.”

Lo and behold, Justin turns into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swims away,
afraid of being eaten by his old friend. In time, Justin the shark finds himself becoming
bored and lonely. All his old friends swim away whenever he comes close to them,
afraid of his menacing appearance.

One day, Justin sees the mysterious cod again and begs to be changed back into a prawn.
His wish is granted. Justin swims back to his old friends and buys them all a cocktail.
He searches in vain for Christian, and is told that his old pal is at home, distraught that
his best friend has gone over to the enemy and become a shark.

So Justin sets off for Christian’s house. He opens the coral gate and, banging on the door,
calls, “It’s me. It’s Justin, your old friend. Come out and see me again.”

Christian replies, “No way, man. You’ll eat me. You’re a shark, the enemy, and I’ll not be tricked.”

“Justin cries back, “No I’m not. That was the old me. I’ve changed.”
“I’ve found cod. I’m a prawn again, Christian.”” 😯😂

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY ‘people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

A Best Picture Oscar winner is in that sentence. Find where that film is, and

You can find the film in the sentence: “…and pepper (1 GR.) AND HOT EL Diablo sauce…”
It is a plot format that has come to be called the “Grand Hotel” format when describing a film with many different protagonists, an ensemble having roughly equal footing. Disaster films have such a style, notably “The Poseidon Adventure”, “The Towering Inferno”, etc.
The plot of 1932’s “Grand Hotel” weaves together the stories of five guests over 48 hours during their stay at a luxurious Berlin hotel between the world wars. Those characters include Baron Felix von Geigern (John Barrymore), an aristocrat who is secretly broke and has turned to theft to pay off debts.
Grusinskaya (Greta Garbo),who is a famous but aging Russian ballet dancer depressed about her waning career.
Otto Kringelein (Lionel Barrymore), a timid, terminally ill bookkeeper who has checked into the Grand Hotel to spend his remaining life in luxury.
