so anyways, I was just watching celebrity boxing, and the results were predictable:

(1) danny partridge made baby greg brady cry!
(2) vanilla ice said "yo, whatchoo talkin' 'bout, willis?"
and willis beat him senseless and said "I'm goin' to
disneyland!"
(3) tonya harding did a tripleaxle on paula jones's head.

I actually care squat about boxing, but I watched it anyways, because
hey, famous people were getting beat up. however, I think I would be
more interested in celebrity grossly mismatched boxing. george wendt
versus gary coleman!

or what about televised giant H fights? weren't we promised that?
where's the kibo vs. wil wheaton giant H battle?

No, you're thinking of _Extreme_ Celebrity Boxing.

They should try a modified version of "The Chamber,"
in which Fox execs are strapped in and told really
hilariously stupid ideas for sleazy Fox shows:

HOST: "A version of `Temptation Island' except
with entire families rather than couples."

EXEC: "UM! UM! Ummmmm....good idea? [*zOt*] GAAAAH!!!"

HOST: "A TV special in which we crash a real commercial
jetliner into the ground. Just to do it."

EXEC: "Ooh, good idea! YAAAH ow ow ow ow ow OW STOP"

HOST: "How about a live New Years special in Las Vegas co-hosted
by Sinbad and Tootie from _The Facts of Life_, featuring
Wayne Newton singing `Gangsta's Paradise?"

EXEC: "Goo--wait. Live? Isn't that mountain time?"

HOST: "Pacific. And we'll broadcast it on the East Coast."

EXEC: "I'm still going to have to say good ide---" [DIES]

I don't know, I think the whole idea of "Celebrity Boxing" is pretty stupid.
Someone should do a parody of it. They could use Claymation. I just hope
they don't get it on the air too long after "Celebrity Boxing". It would
suck if nobody parodied "Celebrity Boxing" in a timely manner.

Also, the guy who wrote "Alien" should write a parody of "Alien"
where a guy gets trapped in a spaceship with a killer beach ball,
and "Saturday Night Live" should make fun of those three-bladed
Gilette razors before they become old news.

> or what about televised giant H fights? weren't we promised that?
> where's the kibo vs. wil wheaton giant H battle?

Waah! You're scaring me! I just saw "Stand By Me" and now I'm
having trouble getting to sleep because I know I'm going to have
nightmares about Wil Wheaton pointing a gun at me and saying
"SUCK MY FAT ONE!" and then the fat kid will swipe my cherry Pez!

The worst part is I have two kinds of Cherry Pez in my collection,
and one of them tastes wonderful and the other tastes like bad icky
artificial cherry, and I can't remember which is which.

And besides, I refuse to box Wil Wheaton, because he's cool. I'd
only box someone I didn't respect, like Bob Hope.

ACK! Right when I was typing that last comma, my TiVo cleared its
menu screen (after 15 minutes of idleness while I was typing stuff
and it was waiting for me to tell it what to do) and started showing
me "The Curse", starring Wil Wheaton. What, did Cinemax declare
an International Day Of Wil Wheaton?

Good thing I have two TiVos, I can just watch the other one.
It should be Wheaton-free because I cleared out four "Star Trek:
The Next Generation" episodes earlier today. They were those TNN
reruns where everyone's head is a little too fat, but I think
TNN meant to make the show that wide because they had to make
room at the bottom of the screen that says "STAR TREK: THE NEXT
GENERATION" all the time in case I forget whether I'm watching
"Star Trek: The Next Generation" or TNN's other show, wrestling.
Why on earth did they go out of their way to distort the picture
just to make sure I can watch the show even if I'm too stupid
to figure out what it is?

-- K.

Notice I'm not making fun of
Wil Wheaton's color "Outer Limits"
episode where he blows up the
Earth with his spaceship which
is too wide, because I don't
make fun of anything where all
the special effects were done
by people who didn't realize
they needed to render their
spaceships to a D1 tape with
non-square pixels, OOPS!

So this is like the "Happy Days"
episode where they go camping
and Fonzie can't get to sleep
because there's stock footage
of a super-narrow squirrel saying
"CHIRP CHIRP", except I'm more
worried about Wide Wesley.

You know, I live in London, and until you said that it never occurred to
me that the very idea of Celebrity Boxing was other than some deranged
kibological parody of reality TV.

They could use Claymation. I just hope

Sounds like its own parody.

You've decided to clean the elevator. Good for you!

Damn, I couldn't find a script for Dark Star anywhere on the web to
check that against. Now I'm really depressed. Will future generations
measure us against big budget tosh like Alien and Star Wars?

there was a claymation series on MTV called "celebrity deathmatch"
that purportedly did the same thing.

however!

I am saying that real horrible mismatches (not necessarily to the

I'm glad you said this, because, having read about but not having seen
Dark Star, I was not sure what kibo was going on about here. this does
bring to mind an inconsistency about "Alien". from what I have heard,
in the future of "Dark Star", we will use spaceships to haul bombs.
this is a reasonable prediction. in "Alien", we use spaceships to haul
oil. uh, what?

Thanks, that's lovely, though it doesn't have some of the scenes I liked,
like Pinback feeding the alien, talking to the dead Captain, Pinback's diary.

Dammit, they took most of the funny bits out! :)

Well, it finally happened. You people gave me a nightmare.

It wasn't about Wil Wheaton, but did feature Robert Patrick, as seen
in "Terminator 2" and "The X-Files" and the "Outer Limits" episode
with... Wil Wheaton.

For some reason I was still employed at that supermarket in Schenectady
where I worked one summer long ago. I showed up and the door was locked
and there were guys inside taking away all the shelves and stuff because
they went out of business without telling me. I tried knocking on the
door to ask what happened but then this scary policeman (Robert Patrick)
showed up and told me to get lost and started escorting me away from
the supermarket, through these woods behind it. Somehow he morphed
from the evil policeman from "Terminator 2" into an FBI agent from
"The X-Files" along the way. We came to this hill that had this weird
giant orange flower growing on a vine. The blossom was about three
feet across and when I looked inside a whole lot of gnats and flies
were orbiting around in it, and I said "It seems to be attracting insects,"
and he flipped open his cell phone and said "Get me FBI Headquarters,"
then the spooky music kicked in and the camera crane pulled up to reveal
that on the far side of the hill were thousands of these flowers with
a big gray cloud of bugs hovering over them, and then I woke up.

Yes, I dream in television. Doesn't everyone?

I love the use of dramatic irony in this dream, where the dream went
to great lengths to show me the thousands of killer flowers but also
made it clear that the other me didn't see them and was probably going
to get eaten by gnats or something.

In any case, Mr. Patrick is an actor I like, and I was glad to have
him as a special guest star in my head.

The weird part is that I don't like "The X-Files", I've only ever seen
about three episodes of "The X-Files", and still Robert Patrick somehow
forced me to watch one of his "X-Files" episodes while I was asleep.
I'm glad David Duchovny doesn't have that kind of power. His style of
acting could put me to sleep even if I was already asleep.

-- K.

How come Robert Patrick doesn't
do standup comedy? I mean, he's
got two first names, like
Steve Martin and Lenny Bruce
and Jack Benny and Robin Williams
if plurals count and if there
is more than one Robin William.

Dan O'Bannon coscripted and coproduced Dark Star with John Carpenter,
who directed it when they were both students. O'Bannon plays Pinback,
who gets all the funniest bits. There are obvious references of (read:
plagiarism of) previous SF works, particularly the end sequence which is
a straight lift from the ending of the Bradbury short Kaleidoscope, from
the Illustrated Man compilation. None the worse for that.

You didn't even see the episode you guest starred on, Dr. Kibo? (The one

Last night I dreamt that I was looking at a newly revised map of

knowledge, a vast number of national borders had been rearranged in
1999. There was a huge number of tiny countries, like a map of the

Oh! And these tiny little islands off the coast of it that nobody

ok, I would like to point out that I rarely know the names of
scriptwriters, but for some odd reason, dan o'bannon's name has stuck
in my head, because I know of *exactly one* script he wrote for the
in-color twilight zone series (the first one) where a scriptwriter is
having writer's block, then he starts seeing little gremlins
everywhere who are destroying things. and the character's name in the
episode was ... dan o'bannon! this has got to be the cheapest attempt
at a twist ending the twilight zone ever did.

oh, and in case anyone is wondering, the first in-color twilight zone
is the one that harlan ellison ran for a while as editor in chief or
whatever they call it ... the one they advertised as having a special
new kind of sound that would cause ghosts to emerge from your tv. the
second in-color twilight zone is the one that jonathan frakes is
producing that hasn't been released yet. I don't know if it will cause
ghosts to emerge from your tv.

When I used to dream about being the only person able to save the
universe due to some terrific power only I possessed, I would take
this as a sign that I had been watching too much japanimation that
week. Now that this seems to be what my dreams exclusively consist
of I can only conclude that the Japanese mind rays are having their
desired effect.

I dream that I AM radio stations no one else gets. FM stations, I mean.

Actually I haven't had a DJ dream in quite a while, but I went through about a
15-year period of withdrawal after I graduated from college.

I would've done radio as a grad student but the overpriced car-repair school I
went to had a radio station with an odd psychological problem: All the controls
on the boards were *unmarked*. I mean, they went to some effort to make sure
there was NO WAY you could tell which fader was TT1 and which was cart machine
2. The nominal logic was that if something suddenly went terribly wrong you
needed to know *immediately* which control to adjust, and if they were labeled
you would have been cheating and it would have taken you an extra half second to
turn down the volume on the song that shouldn't have been playing and then the
whole station would have gone into a tailspin and crashed in a horrible fireball.

Which is why they also never label anything in airplane cockpits either.

Maybe WMBR was ahead of its time and wanted to ensure that any terrorists who
siezed the station would be flummoxed and the country would be saved. (Ted
Turner doesn't count; he only siezed the call letters and besides he paid a cool
10 grand for them.)

But somehow to me it just seemed elitist. Go figure.

Really? Do you also dream about being friends with a dragon, a pony
and a blob? Do you rescue stereotypical ethnic children from deviant
building blocks in your dreams? Do your dreams feature horrible
voice-acting?

No, me neither.

Sometimes I think that, to save money, Art Clokey just plugged himself
into the brainscanner from "Batman, Batman Forever," and filmed the
results. This explains the writing and photography, but not the
voice-acting.

Yes! Scientology dreams! Did I ever tell you about the dream I had where I
for some reason was following this Indiana Jones-like guy, who was a
scientologist, and was searching for some lost artifact of Scientology?
And I kept mocking him and trying to set off the traps he was painstakingly
trying to avoid?

In that dream, I learned that scientology was actaully not founded by L
Ron Hubbard, but by Oscar Wilde.

So have you ever had a dream that you weren't even in? I have. It was just
like watching television.

Actually, those dreams had better storylines and were more exciting than
most of my dreams.

All the time! Don't you?

Also, I have dreams where I am different people.

That was Rockne S. O'Bannon.

kibo has already BEATEN ME SENSELESS for making this mistake.
although he was nice about it.

of course, since I only really remembered the last name, my
real crime was that I ass-u-me'd there was only one person
ever name o'bannon. or, at least, only one screenwriter who
wrote sci-fi and was also named o'bannon.

I'd add more to this message, but I'm still laughing about
the inflatable underwear.

THAT WAS NO DREAM.
