The apocalypse really began yesterday.

before the storm. Kato Kaelin in a soft-porn movie is but a foreshadowing.
The seals started being opened yesterday. The evidence......
#1) Orville Redenbacher died at the age of 88.
#2) A&E ran a biography of Hercules.
#3) Sci-Fi Channel ran an unMiSTed _The Amazing Colossal Man_
#4) At K-Mart, in the Children's Book Aisle, the is a book for kids grades
2-4 on the Kennedy assination called _Who Shot the President?_
Apparently a conspiracy primer for the kiddies. Included in the
book: Frames from the Zapruder film, the autopsy doctors change in
their story, and a picture of Ruby shooting Oswald.
I await seals 5, 6, & 7 to be opened shortly.

Well, I cleaned off my desk yesterday. (Turns out it's actually made of
wood!) I didn't think too much of this semi bi-yearly event, but my
officemate kept looking out the window for other signs of the apocalypse, just
as somebody else walked in and actually *screeched* in surprise.
But then, I'm not Orville Redenbacher, nevermind Hercules. I was, however, on
the grassy knoll. Do you think it counts?

I think a precursor would be Jeremy Brett's untimely death at age
59. I'm still bummed.

Would this be the Steve Reeves Herc, or the more up-to-date goody
goody Kevin Sorbo Herc? (yes, I admit it, I watch both Herc and Xena,
and Highlander...)

Cool! I need something to bring to my nephews' in a few weeks,
and my old Serial Killer trading cards didn't make my sister very
happy.. "Look, Chris! Sirhan Sirhan!" All we need are serial killer
action figures! "Hey kids! Jeffrey Dahmer comes with removable brain
and body part playset!"

commmercials featuring the great music of the 90's.. featuring Vanilla

1. Freddie the Flute from "H.R. Pufnstuf" was stolen from

fast) and selling them to collectors. (who collects this

2. They are offering a $10,000 dollar reward to who returns it!

3. MiSTies are starting wars between each other. The Mikes,

4. The NEW america on-line commercials. (Dumber than ever)
5. A mentos-look-alike commercial. It's a candy bar
called something like Reubun. Anyway, it has a man and women in
a office. They lady steals the candy from the man's desk and
bites into the candy and the man looks down and can't find it.
They women does the MENTOS SMILE (TM) and that's it. It was on
the night of "Ecino Man" was on ABC. They same night as
Puffapolza. (I couldn't stand it)

Ok, then it's the "Between Season Limbo-Land". Post just about
anything! Anything off-topic can be on-topic. (Not like half of

Ok, the ONE TRUE SIGN of the apocalypse is when Trace leaves

You can always get a new host or sidekick, but what if Trace
left? That would elimanate both Crow and Dr. Forrester. Or at
least replacemets wouldn't be the same. Mama Forrester would be
the only one in Deep 13! And CROW!.The Brains would
either
(1) Get someone else to do Crow's voice
(2) Try to build a new bot.
Here's a thread. What would be a good bot replacement for
Crow if Trace wanted to leave? I nominate "Beeper" from Mike
Barklage's "3000: A Space Oddyessy The Story Of Joel" Any
ideas? (Hey, at least I'm trying. Like Joel gave the bot's

Another seal has opened. Not only has the music of the 1970's made a
comeback (remember the 70's Preservation Society? <shudder>), but the
CLOTHING of the early '70s keeps returning. When bellbottoms turned up in
Vogue a couple years ago, I heard the distant creak of the loosening wax.

I dunno, when I see that spot, I can't help thinking of the Adam West

As dumbed-down as the latest slew of AOL advertisements are, there is a certain
class of TCI cablevision advertisements I've been seeing recently that are
MUCH much scarier. They go something like this:
"Hey, you big government and big corporation oppressors! When you conspired
to build your giant, monolithic, evil Information Superhighway, did you ever
ask ME about it? Huh? Now, you cable TV guys are different. You're nice.
You're not a big giant evil monopoly like the Star Chamber white males who
are making me pay through the nose for their hard-to-use Information Super-
highway. Which didn't exist until last year, because that was when Mosaic
was invented."
In other words, these TCI ads take *all* the facts about *both* the
Internet *and* local cable TV providers, and twist them 180 degrees! AND
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FALL FOR THIS!!

However, I've gotta say that I like the new crop of commercials for
both AOL and Prodigy.
On AOL's side: They're going for quick-hit, non sequiters. And
they have Adam West showing an amazing amount of self-deprication.
On Prodigy's side, they've got Barry White driving the Music bus on
the Information Super Highway.

So how come we never see any good, violent Ice Skating movies? You
know, like the heroine's sister is running a zamboni in Moscow and
turns up dead. The authorities blame it on bad vodka, but her sister
know that she was strictly a seagrams kind of girl. So, she sharpens up
her skates, leaves her beloved Yellow Snow Wisconsin, and heads for
the Great Red North. She gets there the day after a freezing rain, so
she travels and fights with her skates.
That's right! Skate Fu! She paints the town Red. Get it, Red? Hey,

Okay, how's this for trivia? Remember back, oh, say late 1980s (glasnost era),
there was a Coke commercial with an American hockey player
and a Russian skater in a costume that made her look like a birthday
cake? So he gives her a soulful look across the rink (this happens
to me all the time *snort*), she looks back wistfully, but her evil
coaches bar her way to life, liberty, and the pursuit of men without
a full set of teeth. So he skates up to her with a bottle of Coke, she
drinks it, and evil coaches notwithstanding, they do a sort of
modified star lift, with her holding onto the hockey stick.
The Russian skater was played by none other than Nancy
Kerrigan.

At least there's some ACTION in skating. You know, some physical

Not that I watch it. No, siree, I don't watch that stuff.

On tonight's episode of _Blades of Death_ - "It's my party and I'll die
if I want to!" The annual Christmas Eve skatathon is the scene of carnage
and whackiness as the Clown Circus comes to town. Starring Rick Thorne
(as Ben Painless), Clara Bow (as Christine Malcolm), Courtney Cox (as
Amy), the Paper Chase Guy (as Blair), Isabella Rosselini (as Lucy) and
Very Special Guest Star Kevin bacon (as Kooky The Clown).

I love you guys. No, I mean it, I love you guys. (cf. everyone's favorite
drunk sketch, The Giant Gila Monster)
I know someone who told me that it never occurred to him that
pairs skating could be dangerous until Mandy Woetzel fell and split
her chin on the ice during the '94 Olympics (remember, they were
skating to "Basic Instinct," and her partner had to carry her off the
ice?).
Let's see... you're about 6 feet in the air, going approximately 15
mph, the guy alternately throws you and swings you headfirst
towards the ice... nah, sounds easy.

I always thought that watching figure skating was guys did when they
need "sensitive 90s guy" points. See, she always wants to watch
skating, since it's beautiful, or athletic, or something. Anyway, you
agree, since you get to check out the skater babes in skimpy outfits.

The only problem is that you'll never see figure skating on the Extreme
Games. Probably because the beat of figure skating can't be set to
fast-paced 200bpm industrial-techno music.

I agree. The director of this film should be Bert I. Gordon, who would
naturally give us endless scenes of people lacing up their skates, wiping
the blood off the blades microliter by microliter, trying to get the
getaway Zamboni in gear... And the slashing action would be a subplot,
overshadowed by the onslaught of radioactive mutated cobras (played
convincingly by a handful of earthworms).

Elvis Stojko won the Olympic silver and World gold medals in 1994 with a
short program set to techno music. The year before, Kurt Browning won the
World gold medal with a short program set to Led Zeppelin (Bonzo
Montreux). It's been done.

Maybe I'm just high, but I don't see the point of that. To me, the whole
purpose of infomercials is to just trick people into thinking that they
were watching TV long enough to get people interested, which is why they
were on late at night, because no one's that stupid during the day. This
channel defeats that purpose because:
1. They're on 24 hours, and no one's groggy from about 5 AM to 12 AM.
2. It's an infomercial channel, so once you see a neat new talk show and
look up on your box, you know that it's an infomercial.
I think my grandmother might watch it though.

If there's one thing I don't need, it's sensitive 90s guy points.
Belive me, if I wanted to check out babes in skimpy outfits, I could
tune into Baywatch or somthing. I watch becuase I love watching
people fail. Whether or not the "impartial" (yeah, right) can stop
playing with themselves long enough to check out the ice, of course.

*shudder* That's too awful to think about!
If anyone's seen "Too Hot to Skate" on CBS (which would have been better
if they'd shown everyone's performance in its entirety and if they had made the ice
surface larger than the tables Elizabeth Berkeley reportedly dances on in
"Showgirls" -- or larger than Kyle McLaughlan's lap, if that's more appropriate)
or that tripe on UPN (saved only by the appearance of Gordeeva and Grinkov

Speaking of which...
In the last (I think it was the last) olympics, there was a male figure
skater who was expected to do really well and actually did rather
dismally badly. Kept falling and missing jumps and stuff. I think he
was blond. But he had these GREAT costumes which were dyed in the most
marevelous fashion that I could forgive him almost anything (except
blowing ti as badly as he did). So Amy, who the hell am I talking
about? Can't remember his name for the life of me.
I know, I know, this should be private mail, but I'm just living up to
Amy's declaration of a ratmm figure skating subset...

Nope, Kurt wore solid black in the short, and the white Casablanca suit

Actually, depending upon what theologian and age you are talking about,
pride (not vanity) is the sin, and most deadly of them all, since it is
the core of them all - despair merely being the placing of your problems
beyond the ability of man or (more importantly) God to fix.

If I'm alone in a room with Julia Sawalha, it would be a combination of

So, like, you want to *live* Hercules Unchained? Which one would
you be, Herc or Queen Umphale? (her name's a little too suggestive for
me.) I think I'd have to go with Herc. I mean, despite the weird pecs
and all, she's really bizarre-looking, and she dies in the end.
Sorry if I ruined the ending for anyone.
I dunno, for me, it's a toss-up between greed and lust. Greed because,
in the immortal words of Gordon Gecko, it's good. It works. Lust
because... well, men in tights. You guys disdain tights, cast aspersions
on danseurs and skaters, but I think you're really just jealous,
because you see what a really good pair of legs in tights can do
to a woman.
Of course, those football pants aren't too bad either, as long

Are the seven deadly sins a Catholic invention? In my theology classes, we
were taught most sins are venial (meaning you aren't damned for them) and
some are mortal (straight to hell unless you repent). The only mortal sins
were blasphemy/idolatry, missing a holy day of obligation and murder.
Adultery may have been listed as mortal, too, I don't remember.

Warren Zevon wrote a song called "Mr. Bad Example", which has an excerpt
which would work for Dr. F, I think:
"I'm very well aquainted with the seven deadly sins
I keep a busy schedule, trying to fit them in.
I'm proud to be a glutton and I don't have time for sloth
I'm greedy and I'm angry and I don't care who I cross!"

"Deadly" sins are just a new name for "mortal" sins. Same thing. All
seven of them. "Deadly" is just a poor translation for the original
"mortal". The medieval play "Everyman" cites all of them.
As to being Catholic, I rather doubt it. They've been around an awfully
long time. Then again, I'm not in that branch of religious studies nor
am I Catholic, what do I know?

Let me just state that it was a complete travesty of justice to have
removed the compulsory figures from Olympic competition. American
pressure just because Americans always did worse on them and the Germans,
etc. always won the compulsories. They should be reinstated! They
should! So there!

No. :)
emily, reinstate compulsory figures NOW!

UPN does carry Nowhere Man, right? That show isn't TOO bad, now. I mean,

Skating and gymnastics seem to have lots of similarities in that sense,
in that they have no good movies to their names. Plus, the announcers
for the sports are incompetent, usually; the acrobatic moves are very
similar; and the music for the floor routine and the figure skating
routine is quite similar as well. Plus, people from that sport tend to
be built rather well (although in gymnastics's case, for the women at
least, you have to wait until the women are OUT of gymnastics
nowadays... <sigh>).
However, asides from watching gymnastics (I'm not as much of a skating
fan, sorry), my other sport, auto racing, tends to not be very similar.
About the only similarity auto racing has to figure skating is that the
cars go round and round; about the only similarity auto racing has to
gymnastics is that occasionally the cars do some spectacular acrobatics.

But so has the Catholic church. About 2,000 years, in fact.
Of course, since I'm Protestant, the whole mortal/venial sin thing
eludes me. To us, sin is sin. You should basically feel guilty all
the time. Which I do, pretty much.

Well, gee, Bob, I don't know. I mean, I haven't ever really *tried*
anything like that. It's chilly in there, y'know.
Though the ice in the figure skating rink where I skate is blue
(helps you see your tracings better), but that's because they
put a blue liner over the concrete.

No, I'm SURE it was Kurt Browning, but the costumes were great. One was
garment dyed gray and started pale gray at the shoulders and darkened to
dark gray at the pants hem and I think the other one did a similar thing
with yello gold and orange gold. They were truly truly beautiful This
would have been between '91 and '93, as I was living in Davis, CA at the
time...

Definetely not funny, even when not floating.
