1. When I was in College there were several movies they would rerun on campus later at night.

Yellow Sub was one of them. Back then we could “sneak” in joints for movies and concerts. It was always a great time.

2. I just had these delivered to my door yesterday.

Coincidence?

(I am having the Lego Yellow Submarine delivered sometime next week.)

4. I remember going to see it at the movie theatre. Thought it was totally dumb,

but I still had enough Beatlemaniac in me to get me there. LOL.

6. Has anybody else here noticed

that all The Royal Navy's research submarines are colored Yellow?

7. I was 8 in 1968 and was crazy about the Beatles

I begged my dad, who was a Holocaust survivor from Poland and not really up on American pop culture to take me to see it at the Rugby movie theater in Brooklyn, where I grew up.
Well, being the doting dad that he was, off we went. Needless to say, he was baffled. Got home and he said to my mom, this can't be my child.
Later in life, I'd hear him singing Yellow Submarine, but never brought up the trip to the theater.
