  1. West coast games are bad enough here on the wrong coast, but extras really hurt the next morning. Oh, well, let's get 'em here!
  2. 'Nother 1-2-3 for Damaso. Looks like last year's model finally.
  3. Yes, that was my interpretation as well - Willie got it going after 2 gone and nobody on.
  4. So.... tell me about Ringo's tonsils and Sgt. Pepper (released lo those 37 years ago today)??? Trivia star my curvy round butt!
  5. "Look at those zoo apes... this must be where they live *boom*boom*... Look at that fossil, it must be worth the bucks..." "Wanna see something really scary...?"
  6. 'SnopeksPants' chimes in with a most excellent suggestion.
  7. "Nightmare at 20,000 feet" and "Time Enough at Last" are indeed both brilliant. Nightmare had a young Bill Shatner in the role of the guy on the plane seeing the gremlin on the wing, and Time Enough had a pre-Penguin Burgess Marideth (sp?) as the poor myopic bank teller who looks forward to being the last man alive after armageddon so he can catch up on his reading, only to step on and break his glasses in the final minutes of the episode. My personal favorites are: "A Good Life" (also remade for the movie version), with a very young Billy Mumy as the kid with the freaky reality-altering powers who will put you into the corn field if you make him mad "To Serve Man" - outdone perhaps only by the Simpson's Treehouse of Terror sendup version ("There's still some more spacedust on the book...") "Eye of the Beholder" The one where (I don't know the episode name) you think the world is hurtling toward the sun all episode, and in the end the lead woman protagonist turns out to be unconscious wiyh a fever and actually the world is hurtling away form the sun and everything is freezing. And then the last episode of the series, in the last year when they had gone to an hour format. It was a great adaptation of Ambrose Bearce' (sp?) "Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge" that Sterling had nothing to do, but bought after he saw it, taped himself doing an intro and outro and called it a TZ. Probably leaving out a couple of really good ones, but those are the ones that left an impression.
  8. You mean "Battlefield Earth" by dead but-but-still-putting-out-books Dianetics Daddy L. Ron Hubbard, right? Never read it in high school when it came out. It had way too many pages. Of course I never thought twice about rereading LOTR or the Dune books several times over, it was just the shock of seeing 1000+ pages in one book I guess. I heard the movie sucked mightily and I stayed away.
  9. They're making the wrong Asimov folm there. They should be doing Foundation instead. That is just my opinion, but of course that means it is correct.
  10. That's a good token show of the theater chain's committment to keeping the film from being pirated. But it will be pirated nonetheles, probably by a theater venue assistant manager offered a wad of money to pirate it or allow someone else to do it suring an unscheduled after hours screening.

  12. In the spirit of the mlb Sox board poster with the genius handle "DanPasquasRoachclip," I'm hereby starting a formal petition to force you to legally change your SoxTalk handle to "ChrisSnopeksPants." Anyone with me? btw, hopefully you got those pants really cheap.
  13. I have that one and the 1926 road cap with no team name but with the two crossed white socks on blue denim. Those are my two favorites. My '83 cap from back in the day is in sad shape, with electrical tape holding the broken plastic adjustable thingie in place. Time to replace that one I think.

    Ah, to be 24 again. Have a good one, Brother.
  15. He usually does, actually... kind of a present to himself.
