I am at a loss why so much attention is given to Disney's new disclaimers on some of their 'Muppet Show' episodes. It was a much bigger story when the early 'Muppet Show' episodes were given a PG rating because they contained ideas or examples that were later considered dangerous decades later, such as talking to strangers and accepting things from strangers. That occurrence received almost no news coverage in the media but was potentially much more important in content. Is this disparity based more on today's culture wars?

From the movie 'V for Vendetta':




Followed shortly by my favorite line:

V: It means that I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence. Are you hurt?

Good day to all.

Today is the first day of spring training games. The Cub's first game is tomorrow. (The pitcher?)

In honor of this day, I found an old tape on YouTube that most of you have seen, but you will love this if not. This brings back so many memories.

Tough choice, but Julie Newmar.


I had a teenage crush on Eartha Kitt. I wish she had been one of the choices.

Salsa - Mild or Spicy?

One of my favorite epistolary stories is Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. The movie made from it is silly but the short story won a Hugo Award.


Salutations, everyone.

I thought the movie was not too bad, but it failed mightily as an interpretation of the book.

The book was fabulous!

I brought two boxes of cookies I received from the Girl Scouts last night (Samoas, of course) and some grapefruit juice (fresh squeezed). I am not allowed grapefruit in the real world, and I enjoy it so much.

I am a big fan of graphic novels. Titles such as 'Maus,' 'Deadpool: Bad Blood,' 'The Watchmen,' 'V: for Vendita,' and 'Batman: The Dark Knight Returns' are just the tip of some of the best. I once collected comic books and graphic novels from the late 1970s till the mid 1990s and still have most of them. A magazine I read, 'Heavy Metal,' is very similar to the graphic novel format.

Just dropping by to say hi. I am going to sit awhile and re-read a book 'Guilty Pleasures.' My wife is recovering from having a root canal, and I am sure she would prefer a little quiet today.

Salutations to all!

Anna, I saw Alice Cooper in Charlotte, NC, in 1973 as a teenager. I was an usher for the venue.

I will have a cuppa and sit quietly for a while.

Good afternoon everyone. I brought some light mint herbal tea as well as a dozen assorted bagels and honey.

I will take a pecan divine, a ginger snap, as well as a few older cookies. I hope you do not mind if I take a few cookies home to my grandkids. I like older cookies and would not want to see them go to waste.

Rumpled man, did my wife drop by? I see that you had outbreaks of tumult and shouting, and she did go out this morning.

I have had a couple of bad days and could not make it online, but things are much better today.

Have a great day, everyone!

The sounds of my new kittens racing and pouncing about my room and meowing, as well as my youngest grandson joyfully yelling and playing in the next room. All of this among the tap-tap-tap of the keyboard and a constant background of tinnitus-infested ears buzzing. It is known as the 'Sounds of Grandpa's Life.'

Godzilla, the original scourge of pollution.

Romantic or comedy movie?

The testing scene is so moving for the duke's son and the meaning of the movie's premise. Pain is the mind-killer, so true.

Dune is one of my favorite sci-fi universes. I hope the 2021 version lives up to its hype. This film only covers the first half of the book 'Dune,' so it is probably the start of at least a two-part film series.

Oo, someone who has seen the old movie serial Batman. You get major cool points from me for that. I'll should see if it is floating around on Youtube or something.



It is on YouTube as well as its 1949 serial series.
