For some reason I have the urge to send Mr. Dobson a picture of myself
wearing my Patrick the Starfish boxers and signing it "Straight but not

Too bad he wasn't more forceful. IMNSHO the objections are based on
ignorance, stupidity, bigotry, and a desire to force a religious agenda
on people who don't buy into the Radical Religious Right's world view.

The way the RRR sees it, since the video doesn't condemn gays it must
therefore be promoting The Homosexual Agenda(TM).
I would really appreciate it if someone could show me where I can by a
copy of The Homosexual Agenda so I can read for myself exactly what it
is that I'm supposed to be afraid of. Are roving gangs of gay interior
designers going to storm my house and redecorate it against my will?

So does MTV's PIMP MY RIDE show. Not only do they fix up cars for

Y'know, I watch those shows, and my practical side takes over. I wonder just
how much stuff they cover.
They take someone who can't afford to change the oil in his '77 Pinto and
turn it into a rolling jukebox. Sure, the guy's thrilled. And I'm thinking
to myself, "How on earth is he going to find the money to insure it? Or to
run premium fuel through it, now that it gets .8 miles per gallon? And where
the hell can he park it without worrying about it being stolen?"

Me too, especially when it's smoking and dripping liquid out the

Heh, that _is_ a point (several, actually--g!). They should bring
that up on the show--and go back a few months later to see how these
folks are making out. But if you don't have decent wheels in LA,
you are a sunk gosling, and the cars I've seen these guys fix up
were only a muffler fall-out from bad accidents/getting stranded. As
far as insurance goes--isn't it cheaper to pay for insurance on a
car like this than pay for a new car _and_ insurance at the same
time?

I want to see them do that on those "Clean Up The House" shows. The ones
where the couple are all starry-eyed over their new bedroom/family
room/living room with the candles and the knick-knacks and the gorgeous
wallpaper and you know it's all there because the two-year-old is currently
off at the babysitter's.

Well, not really. Some of those cars that they fix up have got to be in the
$75,000-or-more range, once you figure in the one-off wheels, the stereo and
video systems, the paint jobs, etc. Some of those Chip Foose cars have to
top $100,000 appraised value. I'm sure that buying and insuring a Hyundai
Accent can't come close.

You know, it takes a special kind of mind to look at a cartoon character
and think GAYGAYGAYGAYGAY, but to see Ralph Reed and Gary Bauer as some

Well, not sure of current beliefs in the US but at one time
there any unmarried adult male was sometimes suspected of
being gay. [Unless he was a priest, of course.] Long hair
was considered a sign of homosexuality. A male carrying a
purse in the sixties would have definitely been thought gay.

McCarthyism and the Cold War, by blaming comics for juvenile

violence, and the glorification of homosexuality via Batman
and Robin. (also, by holding Wonder Woman responsible for
inspiring lesbianism in her female readers. Sufferin'

But Race always had LOTS of time for Johnny. Lots of martial arts lessons,
lounging on the beach, etc... and Hadji and Dr. Quest went off a few times by
their own to conventions and such.
Oh, I'm sure Johnny and Hadji had some tantric sessions here and there, but
Roger T. "Race" Bannon was definitely Johnny's first love. :^)

YES. BRRRRR! Don't forget Bandit getting loose and then trying to dig a hole to

I think my first thought when I first saw the ep as a child was "That must be

I'll second _that_. I saw this ep. a few months back (it had been
years since I first saw it). If the sound FX isn't enough to chill
your blood, the sheer-evil voracious look of the monster sure
will... The mummy episode was creepy too--one truly nasty-looking
mummy.

_Real_ close. When he got airlifted outta there, his foot was close
enough to part the monster's hair. Or whatever--g!

Really nice work--very much like an old-school 30's pulp horror
story. FANTASTIC VOYAGE was another great series--from the cool
theme song/credits to Busby Birdwell, the original
geek-with-major-attitude--g!
