A big kick in the old memory lane for me was watching a bit of the Muppet
Show with one of my classes one night.
I was having a particularly bad day teaching in Korea and didn't really
feel like dealing with my group of five years olds at six pm, and trying to
be happy and keep a smiling face, I thought, "what the hell, I have this
computer, maybe i can download a vid for them to watch for a few seconds so
I can maintain my calm." I looked and at some point in my infinate wisdeom
I had downloaded the eternal "Ma-nam-a-nah" sketch from the muppets. So I
sat there with my kids watching that little purple guy shake is orange head
while some freaked out ostriches said "Doot-do-di-do-doo" and I laughed
myself silly. We watched it there times, and oddly, I managed to turn it
into a teaching lesson by having the kids call out the directions the
little guy was running in.
At the same time it took me back to being about six myself and staying up?!
to watch the muppet show at like 8:30 at night. Man, those were the days. I
sort miss Jim Henson, the messed up muppetphile.

Was frogger the thing where you had to make the frog cross the lanes of
traffic wthout being squished, and the river (on the logs) without falling
in, or am I thinking of a different game? Either way I think my father had
that on his old computer an Amiga something-or-other. I liked that game.
Course Pacman just rules anyway... ____________________ Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life. |

Since the topic is brought up, I saw "Masters of the Universe" on TNT,
featuring ex superstud Dolf Lundgren (formerly known as "The Russian" in
the Rocky movies..I think rocky II?), that ALSO featured Courtney Cox in
the worst role of her life. I was so down with He Man...I can only wonder
that if I knew what gay was when I was a kid, would I find it as homoerotic
as I do now?
Oh, and I got this bitchin atari joystick yesterday that has 10 games in
it. You plug it into your TV and the wonderful and brain hemmorage
inducing joy of Breakout, Adventure, Asteroid, Missile Attack, Circus Atari
(a more sadistic form of breakout) Pong, and others are brought to your TV.
No game console..that is how stoneage the technology was, that all those
games NOW fit into the JOYSTICK.
I'm gonna look for one that has riverraid and frogger and maybe
pacman....it's so awesome... ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Times gone by and TV shows, eh? That can only lead me to one place:
Thundercats. I don't care what anyone says, no matter how many people try
to convert me to Transformerism, I will always remain a true and faithful
Thundercats fan. What was there not to love about this show? You had good
guys beating some ugly bad guy arse, robotic bears, people who looked like
cats, brute strength and agility and you had Wily Kit and Wily Kat!! I wish
that show still aired. ____________________ Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life. |
