Things The World Conspired to Keep Me Ignorant Of

Thanks to Soothsayer, the best TV intro ever, and yes, it beats Manimal, UFO, and even The Six Million Dollar Man.

Here's the wikipedia background on this forgotten gem.

Okay, the intro doesn't beat the Six Million Dollar Man.

I don't think people acknowledge how brilliant that intro is -- it tells you the backstory of the show but with such authority, urgency, and mystery that the intro is... well, better than the actual show.

That intro gets you PUMPED for some BIONINC GAINZZZ, brah!

Okay so it's not as good as that one, but it's good.

It also must be ripped off from the Bigfoot storyline of the Six Million Dollar Man. Starring Andre the Giant as Bigfoot.

Imma admit something weird -- as a kid, when I was watching Six Million Dollar Man (in repeats, on Nick at Night -- bear in mind, I'm on the cusp of 29), I actually used to daydream about getting in a severe car accident just so Oscar Goldman would discover me as a perfect test-case for bionic implants.

Really.

I gotta think other people did too.

I also used to daydream about Speed Racer being murdered and someone contacting me to secretly take his place as the new Speed. I'd get the car, and Trixie.

I think my first fantasy was to be Speed Racer's friend but then I realized I didn't want to just sit in the car in the Trixie Seat, I wanted to own the car, and Speed would just have to -- sadly, you understand -- die.

I'd go to the funeral and stuff. And say some words.

Then: I get the car.

39 Yeah this show is unbelievably bad looking, and not in the "wow that looks so bad it will be fun." No, its just bad. But the girl is cute.

Looking over the IMDB entry, apparently even the writers couldn't keep track of the girl's name, she was Cindy, or Suzie, or Susie, depending on the episode. Two different girls played the role as well. I am guessing a lot of drugs were involved.

but seriously: duration is the key. And staying with it gets hard in the gainzzz-less periods. It's easy when you're gainzzzing. You can see the gainzzz. But there are periods where there are no noticeable gainzzz.

those periods are where you really earn the GAINZZZ to come.

No seriously. Those periods try you. But you will break through at some point.

I grew up in the 70s. Steve Austin was a goddamned American hero is what he was!!!

But was Oscar Goodman a Mossad agent?

When Steve fought John Saxon, the other bionic guy, that was scary shit. John Saxon played some great bad guys!

And Cannon, that was a pretty good show, Frank Cannon was not an idiot, and had some depth to his character, and he loved to eat...great show.

This is funny. I tried to watch Kojak a few weeks ago...it was bad, so bad.

85 Totally with you on the fantasies of youth and, as a 48 year old man with a 20 year old mentality, I might still indulge such things on a regular basis. For awhile, finding a group of elves in the woods and trailing them back to their secret cavern that led to Middle Earth might have been a prominent fantasy as well. Also, hooking up with Cheetarah! Good to know there are others like me out there!

92 Mrs. E and moi just got back from Colorado Springs today. We were last there in October of last year and noted at that time how many crackheads and panhandlers there were, but this time? Beautiful parks in Manitou, Garden of the Gods, and all over the area were just filled with the gainz from legalization. They are nastier than the geese (you know exactly what I mean). I am so glad we live in ETEX, where the only pressing issue is a childkiller threatening to jump off the top of the jail. Apparently. I'll be doing paperwork on his sorry ass in the morning.

The 350cid was a GM product. The 351M,C, or W was used. I've seen 429cid in some and a transplant 429 hemi in one. With no weight in the back the 429 hemi literally sprayed hot rubber over everything behind it.

103 Totally with you on the fantasies of youth and, as a 48 year old man with a 20 year old mentality, I might still indulge such things on a regular basis.

106 I watched CHiPs but three things always bothered me.

First, the cars that defied physics. Even as a little boy I knew if you crashed a car it wouldn't flip 70 feet in the air and explode in a ball of fire.

Second, Ponch was always into the latest trend. When nunchuks were cool, he'd whip them out one episode and spin them around, without any previous logic or setup.

And Third, none of the cases really made any sense. These traffic cops were doing detective work??

I guess I was too serious and skeptical a child. I did really like Miami Vice though. It actually holds up pretty well upon re-viewing too.

The guy who was piloting the aircraft crashing in the intro to the Six Million Dollar Man was a test pilot for Northrup. I heard him telling the "story" of that crash. Apparently the landing gear got jammed and he was running out of fuel. He brought it down on the dry lake bed and as the footage shows went ass over nose. He walked out of the crash. He did lose an eye and wore an eye patch. They rebuilt the aircraft and it sits (or use to) in front of the NASA center as a static display. I also got to know the crazy fuckers who tested/developed the SR71. Saw it taking off one time. Absolutely the most badass aircraft behind my favorite the Warthog.

Mine was the base with the handle. You spun up a flywheel on the rear wheel and once you stopped cranking it would release. The mufflers, I think, were clear read plastic that had a flint and striker that would make sparks while the wheels spun. You'ed set it up with a ramp so it could jump over things. Or plow through army camps and stuff.

186 I like the intro to "The Incredible Hulk." There's that blinking light that says "Anger"... which then zooms out slightly to read "Danger."

Get it? "Anger"? It's the Hulk! He transforms when... OK. Whatever.

Anyway.

Oh! And there was the sad piano theme at the end of the show. I liked that too.

" I did really like Miami Vice though. It actually holds up pretty well upon re-viewing too."

It does, even as it veered into weird pro-Contra and other weird leftism...it wasn't clear who was good or bad. The show didn't insult your intelligence, for the most part. I still enjoy watching it.

Take my Krav Maga level one test tomorrow morning.

If you want be able to protect yourself and your loved ones on the street, I highly recommend it for all ages. We have a 70 year old in our classes. It's good to practice street fighting, over the MMA stuff, which is ok, but isn't as violent and final.

268 SWAT was really cool as a kid, and so was Police Story, which I believe spawned it. I still remember the episode of Police Story *spoiler alert* where the guy that played the SWAT commander on the series had an episode as a SWAT guy who accidentally kills a baby in a crib with a Remington 870 shotgun. He then sets up an elaborate suicide by cop where he gets the swat team to kill him... best as I remember.

"Get your pitch to zero!"

"Pitch is out. I can't hold altitude."

"Correction, alpha hold is off. Trim selectors -- emergency!"

"Flight Com! I can't hold it! She's breaking up! she's breaking up!"

At WTI one year we met some flight line guys with a squadron from Washington at the bar one evening. The next day, we got a couple of them to ride along with us during a hop to do TERF and confined area landings. In trade, we got to go through the launch evolution with them for a bombing exercise. Being under/around one for startup and launch was pretty cool but then watching them hurtle down the runway in full burner, loaded for bear was wood inducing. Those guys always flew out over the chowhall tent at what seemed like about 100 feet in full burner and shook the sand and dust into your food but no one whined.

There were two of them. One of them was a gritty white and the next one was darker in color.

407 As a child of the 70s you got to see most of the 60s and some 50s like Lucy in syndication. It seemd like about all of your non prime time content was syndicated. And on Sundays you had the 1930s and 1940s Abbot and Costello stuff and "classics" like the Sisco Kid.

Now is as an old guy with young kids I'm watching stuff I never watched in the 90s. My 8 and 11 year olds are BIG fans of Full House. I went from never seeing an episode to seeing some 3 times. Truth be told there's a lot worse out there.

442 My favorite show as a kid was "Kung Fu", probably because I'm a passive-aggressive justice freak.

I liked some of the Eastern wisdom. For example, I still remember one great quote in an episode where our hero meets an old Native American man, and afterward asks Master Po how he could connect so well with another in such a brief period of time -- and Master Po answers: "The soul does not measure time ... the soul only measures growth."

I was stunned to learn while watching the movie "The Bruce Lee Story" that the idea for that series was actually Bruce's and he'd intended to play the lead, but -- even after the success he had in "The Green Hornet," -- Hollywood wasn't ready at that point for an Asian leading-man ...

Such things did actually happen on occasion. There was the war, then there was the desert. Several units had a deal where they would announce prisoners taken so the other side knew what happened to a missing patrol.

546 I know that "10" is considered a milestone in "gay cinema," because it was one of the very first mainstream films that had supporting gay characters who weren't bad guys or complete caricatures running around in drag.

Great scene in the flick when Dudley Moore's gay friend is arguing with his boyfriend about going to the store and not "hanging around with those friends of yours." Just shows gays are as messed up about relationships as anyone else.

That's a great question. I think it was "Groove Tube". The opening scene featured a hitchhiker picked up by a chick who stripped naked.

The thing was, I saw it with my sister, who immediately insisted we walk out. I most certainly did not want to, but as she was driving, I complied.

Bobby Conrad was one slow dude- as far as running went. If Gabe Kaplan can beat you, I would describe your speed as glacial.
I understand Bobby got a big head from his Black Sheep days. He actually thought he might be a good boxer thanks to the show.
Well he faced a real boxer in the ring in a semi-serious match and got his eyes opened. Said he saw the punches coming, he just couldn't avoid them.

There were a couple really funny shows back then.

Liar's CLub, which had a more adult, staid humor, a dry humor as they said...I loved the decor of the show.

http://tinyurl.com/hosvhs6

Make Me Laugh. Fuckin FUNNY. Bruce Baum, a goddamned riot. Bill Kirchenbauer was unbelievably funny...a lunatic!

http://tinyurl.com/guhl73p
http://tinyurl.com/zdtlbk7
http://tinyurl.com/gqdqnno

I used to stay up late and watch An Evening at the Improv...that was my routine back then, I was the class clown and loved all things funny. Friday's, Laugh Traxx, Improv, Night Flight whatever I could find...And back then, it wasn't stupid humor, for the most part. This is what the PC bullshit has sucked out of society.

Barney Miller. The ensemble was one of the best, and the characters that came through the show...Steve Landesberg was the best.

I watched an episode of MASH the other day and that nutcase Col Flagg was on...it was hilarious!

735 Stephen Cannell had a show titled "Tens peed and Brownshoe." Street hustler (Ben Vereen) teams with guy (Jeff Goldblum) who daydreamed extensively about being his favorite PI. He'd recite lines from the books. First time I saw it, my college roommate exclaimed, "That's you!" -- and he wasn't talking about Vereen.

I've had a TV fantasy life since I was 4 and climbing on the shed roof with a pretend Batarang. I wanted bionic strength, to join SHADO, work alongside Steed (like Mike Gambit, pervs!), and climb walls like PP.

I was at the gym and I had watched the Princess Bride the night before.

He asked me how many more sets I had , but I couldn't answer right away because I was still trying to get my bearings from seeing the six fingered prince.

That show was completely different from anything else on TV at that time, each episode had a lesson to be learned, like a cartoon haiku.

Now talk about the most atypical American family they could dream up (in the late '60's) - 3 kids being raised by bachelor, evidently richer than hell NYC architect uncle in a penthouse, but since uncle is always away on glamorous business trips to Rome or Japan, the kids are cared for on a day to day basis by a middle-aged British live-in butler. You think of that spacious Manhattan penthouse imagine the moola Uncle Bill must have had!

My folks knew who he was in an instant and they kept quiet but you cold see they were about to gush. He really is a mensch.

On a sadder note, my mom and I were in the waiting room as my dad was underling a triple bypass, and there was a young lady waiting in the room and eating a sandwich. My mom I guess was looking at her and she came over because she thought she was staring at the sandwich, hungry. Sick as I was with worry over my dad, she was attractive and I was looking for a ring.

Anyway, after a few minutes of exchanging stories about the people in the OR, my mom pipes up "you know, I have to say, you bear a striking resemblance to Lilith from "Frasier." And she says "that's because I am." It was, indeed Bebe Neuwirth. And "Frasier" was like the only show, aside from "Masterpiece Theater" she ever watched.

Sadly, I did not get her number.

With all the films/TV shows being shot here in Savannah, you can't go to a good restaurant without running into some celeb. Within two nights, we sat next to David Spade (I walked past him twice and gave him no notice), and the next night Adam Sandler and his wife and MIL sat next to us at The Grey.
David Spade was literally standing up, facing the restaurant, looking like he wanted the attention. On our way out, my husband said, "I love your work" or something stupid, and Spade grabbed his hand and said, "Thanks!"

899 As an "actress" in Atlanta, (while holding a paying job in advertising), I had the opportunity to work with the late Jan Hooks and Bonnie and Terry Turner (writers and producers of Third Rock From The Sun). I've mentioned old boyfriend calling me one night from the bar of a hotel near me. He was with Sir John Gielgud or someone else extremely famous (can't remember) and asked me to join them for a drink.

I was an idiot, and explained that it would take too long for my long hair to dry and for me to reapply my makeup.

Still hate myself for that idiocy.

Could be his upbringing. He told a story on Howard Stern about growing up in AZ with a single mom. When she couldn't get a babysitter she'd drop the kids off in the desert with lunches and .22s. They'd spend a few hours walking across the desert shooting snakes and she'd pick them up at the gas station on the desert's edge.

I didn't look at the card for a couple of days. I didn't recognize her. I was married at the time and never called. Wish I could find that card.

She has a fancy ranch in Santa Ynez. Horses. I think her parents live here.

I'm much older than she is. But I hear she goes to certain bars and my friends don't know who she is. I hope she spouts some liberal bullsh** in a cowboy bar.

My Grandma lived near Monroeville Mall and we would go there all the time.

My mom was trying to find where her great great grandmother was buried. After some sleuthing, she discovered where and went to the graveyard (in Western PA). While she was there, she saw people roaming around dressed as zombies. Apparently my great great grandmother was "in" the classic movie The Night of the Living Dead. She is buried in that graveyard.

The Blues Brothers.

Used to ride my BMX bike up to the mall with my best friend. There was a video store there, as it was just getting popular. They had some viewing rooms in the back, with couches and stuff.

We would go down to Woolworths and buy some candy and go hang out at the video store.

They would put The Blues Brothers on, and we would hang out there and be in awe.

They also put on Rush Exit Stage Left and Mike Nesmith's Elephant Parts.

We used to spend every Saturday it seemed, up at the mall exploring and having fun.

1107 So last week I got to have some "fun" (major sarcasm).
I was heading west and second at an intersection/red light while in the middle lane (three lane surface street).I noticed a minor fender bender off to the right in the southbound lane. Figuring that explained the weird behavior of those around me before the red light, I thought little of it.
So the light goes green and behind the SUV ahead of me I proceed to cross the intersection. So 2/3 of the way into the intersection I discover a car has jumped the curb and slammed into a stop light support, blocking the right lane. 1 second after seeing this a pickup truck next to me just tries to move over, nearly hitting me. I dodge him and move on into the right lane.
I guess he got stopped there for a bit because one minute there is no one behind me for about 400 yards, then next thing I know he comes up behind me so fast he almost rear ends me. He honks and gives me the finger. This scares the vehicle next to me and they move to the left lane.
He then moves into the middle lane next to me, and again gives me the finger. Finally, I return the favor. He then races in front of me and slams on the rakes. Because I expected this I had slowed so his brake check had no effect.
I cross over to the far left as I punch it and he swerves over but misses me by maybe a foot.
he drives in two lanes at once trying to "retaliate" against me.
We come to the stoplight with me behind 3 vehicles in the left lane, while he is behind one in the middle lane. He opens his door, turns around to face me and yells obscenities at me while demanding I get out of my car. Idiot wants a fist fight, or at least to lure me in close enough to shoot me with the gun he thinks I do not know he has.
I had a few words for him as well. also a gun, but I was not going there.
As I have a dash cam I called the police 2x and let them know I had his actions, plate, and face on video. They never called me back or followed up.
Even better, I have encountered this guy several times since while on my way to work. As I have different vehicles to drive, I don't think he recognized me.

Plus Leary is far better known today as an actor than a comedian, from what I can tell.

Ever hear of paregoric? It's like liquid opium. Mothers used to rub in on their kids gums when the were teething. I don't even know if they make it any more. We used to dip joints in it, let them dry out and then smoke em up. One joint would bake like 5 people. We called them OJs.

You mean the original movie? That was Pink Floyd.

Even though Roger Water is a Wildly Insane Leftist, I highly recommend going to see him in concert. His version of The Wall was brilliant. Best concert ever. The people behind his production are some of the best in the industry, and his version of The Wall was breathtaking.

It's also out on DVD, but I haven't seen it.

When I first saw the story, that's what popped into my head.

Have the same memo going to several people, but each memo has some very minor differences in phrasing something, and each different memo given to a different staffer. When it ends up in the press, you know the leaker. At that point, civil service or not, they are out the fucking door.

Trump is used to people keeping secrets, and he's smart enough to know how to smoke out the leakers.

Amusing anecdote in this quarter's Garand Collector's Journal. Story from a fellow named Roy Kentish. He was a reservist at the time, and was called up in1991 to help out with Desert Storm, at age 54(!)

Anyhow, his story went like this:

Sgt. Kentish: "I really don't want to go unless I can take my M1."

Sgt. Major: "What's an M1?"

Sgt. Kentish: "Now I really don't want to go!"

I had something like that happen too. The guy was crawling along instead of getting up to freeway speed, then tried to run me off the road, apparently for "tailgaiting" him. Speed limit 65. Speed at which we entered? 40 mph. I stayed 2 car lengths back and that was not enough for him.

I had an incident about a week ago where I turned right onto the main road, and a guy came flying up behind me.

Now if he thought I was going too slow, all he had to do was change to the left lane and go zooming on past me.

But no. He changed to the left lane, blasted his horn, and cut back into my lane inches in front of me. That was completely uncalled for.

I told my husband you need to talk to this guy, he's angry. He came flying out of the car screaming at me he's not fu**ing mad. I got an adrenaline rush and yelled back. And I took a step towards him yelling back.

My only case of road rage took place in San Diego in 1999.
It was Friday at the end of a bad day, at the end of a bad week. I was PMSing something fierce. On the drive home, some fuckwit swerved right in front of me as I was preparing to take my exit. Clipped the front bumper but I didn't lose control. He took off, continuing straight ahead.
I decided "fuck this" and took off after him heading north on I-5, flashing my lights. Drove past the next exit into a dark section of I-5. He finally pulled over and, get this, I pulled ahead of him, parked, then walked back to his car. The window rolled down partway.You know, it never occurred to me that I could have been shot right there.It was a young Hispanic kid with a wide-eyed girlfriend next to him. I demanded to see his license. He took it out and showed it to me. I looked it over and proceeded to rip him a new one verbally. Then I handed it back, telling him I'd memorized his address and if I saw any damage to my car I was going to show up at his doorway with a cop. Then I stomped off to my car and drove to La Jolla, where I drank a cup of coffee until I could stop shaking at my own stupidity.
