I used to love that stuff, but I stopped using "loose leaf" chew a long time ago in favor of the canned "long cut" style dip.

You mean the powdery-tobacco stuff you "snort?" Mmmm... nah. That's even dumber than chewing on it. Someone in my office told me that I should take up cigars instead. Yeah, that would help. Trade one habit for another.

But if I quit tobacco altogether, then I'll have more money for the important things. Y'know, like beer and CDs.

There's nothing classier then a constant runny nose and weird powder around your nose. I worked with an older gal who did snuff and it was funny and sick. She'd get bloody noses for no apparent reason.

New One...


The last time I saw Stanley Kubrick's legendary sci-fi mindf*ck 2001: A Space Odyssey, I was about twelve years old, and... I didn't get it. Thirty years later, I finally decided to give it another spin, aaaaaand.... I still don't think I "got" it, but I wrote a HubPage about it anyway:

I sort of get it now too but I think people didn't want to admit that most of it went over their head and it steamrolled from there until now it's almost untouchable.

Ditto that.

Seriously though: the news from the Queensryche camp(s) was flyin' so fast and furious today that I could barely keep up. I actually had to update this one twice in one day.

New one!!
The wife and I were discussing cartoons with our kids the other night, which inspired this entry about some of the more, shall we say, WTF Saturday Morning Toons of the late 70s and early 80s.

Great write up, that brought back some dreadful memories!!! I did not know Laverne and Shirley had a cartoon show!!!

It was interesting tidbit that the first Latino character in animation was in the 'Rubix Cube' cartoon show, which set my race back at least 50 years.

I had no idea that the "Rubik" theme song was performed by Menudo till I read it on Wiki. That was just the icing on the effin' cake. Seriously, weirdest/scariest/most bizarre cartoon EVER!!

I always thought "Speedy Gonzales" was the first latino cartoon charachter Manny.

Remember him back in the late 60's as a pup on afternoon cartoons. Did some research and he first appeared in 1953.

There were other Latino toon characters prior to the kids on "Rubik," but they were the first Latino lead characters in a Saturday Morning cartoon... for whatever that's worth. I guess in the early 80s that was a big deal to somebody. Saturday AM cartoons were pretty white bread at that time, now that I think about it.

Much as I love Speedy Gonzales, he was mostly a bit player in the ol' Looney Tunes shorts, and was never really a "star" in his own right. Even in the new Looney Tunes series on Cartoon Network, he still makes occasional appearances but he's never the "headliner."

A "migrant" character, if you will.

Wonder if ol' Cesar Chavez ever sported any "Speedy" underoos

In reference to Star Blazers, you have to watch this one:



2010 live action remake of the original series (you have to turn the captions ON to see the English subtitles)

Knowing your choice in films, you will love this one! I think YouTube is the only place you can watch it (I saw a bootleg copy of it)

^^^^ Neat-O, Leo. Will have to give that Star Blazers thingy a spin.

... and I just updated my Queensryche Hubpage (yet again) with the latest developement in the Scabryche camp....

True. But every time I update that thing with Tate's latest douche moves,I get a bump in page views so I'm not complainin'. That piece is somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 views last I checked.

In case you missed it in the Queensryche thread, ToddRyche linked my HubPage about the QR/Tate mess on their official Facebook page today.... and it blew up biggy styley. Last I checked it had racked up 3000+ page views since this morning and is now my all time "most views" champ.

So hey, thanks to whoever sent the link to the band's attention (no, it wasn't me)!!!!
