True, but by skimping there they were able to afford that free-range retreat center.

Did someone say chicks? That means I must put on my alpha male disguises. Calling Fred! But in reality Super Chicken is: 'He's everywhere he's everywhere!' The first episode is a hoot but that second episode had me laughing so hard. Chicken missile receiver...Chickenman, the most unwanted and untalented crime fighter the world has ever known!

I was just visiting YouTube looking for the radio adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's 'The Star,' which I believe was an episode of X-Minus One and is the only Clarke story ever adapted for one of the radio programs. Browsing through the few pages I could find of the show I see a conspiracy video on Nibiru and the Mayan calendar December 21st, 2012 end-of-the-world scenario uploaded sometime during the summer of 2012. Trying to figure out why a search for X-Minus One should lead me to this I unfortunately hit the link...
No, I'm not going to share it and give this individual some face time. Suffice it to say that I was bombarded by circular reasoning and hypothesis; if you have no facts to support what you're stating it's called a hypothesis, not a theory. Scientific theories are based on rigorous testing and are factual based while the word theory in common language is used as if it's meaning is a hypothetical and guessed at idea; and a bombastic anti-reality speech to end all anti-reality speeches.
I then think 'Hey, I'll search for Nibiru.' What did I do that for? Oh stooopid chicken! Dear God! Just the titles of the videos made my brain rot, although most have NASA is lying to us in their titles. Really? So every amateur and professional astronomer are in on this cover up too? Boy, these people have no idea of how the scientific community works. If Nibiru actually existed and I saw it through my telescope you'd all hear my scream of joy reverberating and echoing across the Pacific ocean.
I do find a nice video on the blank spaces on Google Sky Maps and why it's not a Nibiru cover-up by Google. I then read the comments. Idiot, dumb *** and a whole lot of other fun comments come up. My favorite was the person who claims that it's a government cover-up of the true Nibiru story and that's why NASA & the government are murdering astronomers. Wow, I never knew that astronomers were murdered. You would think I would remember those Sky & Telescope astronomers are being murdered articles yet, for some unknown reason, I have no memory of those stories.
So I then decided to look up Phil Plait/Nibiru for a little fun. Oh the hatred. Seems that every conspiracy theorist hates this guy. Looking down the page I come upon the Joe Rogan vs Phil Plait laugh-a-ton, where Joe yammers on endlessly and doesn't let Phil answer any questions. Ah, the vehemence and 'belief' of the average conspirator. I do wish Joe would look back at the time period and learn a little history about why we stopped going to the moon. The Vietnam War, the gas crises and recession came about and most people became uninterested in the moon landings. While I'm listening and cringing I take a look at the comments section. You would think I would have learned by now, wouldn't you? Along with the leave Phil alone are the Phil Plait is the NASA talking head cover-up ***hole. If only conspiracy theorists could use some their passion and energy on useful ideas and things some of them could actually make a positive impact on the world.
From now on I'm sticking with music and movie videos on YouTube.

The first two are certainly mundane personified but I admit that third one is pretty disturbing.
I had something wonderful happen recently. You know how you watched TV shows or movies when you're a young whipper snapper and love them but when you revisit them when you're older they just...well, suck? A few years ago I took a chance at purchasing some Japanese childhood programs I watched when I was young. They all brought back great memories and thankfully none of them really sucked and I really enjoyed re-watching them. But one stood up heads and tails above the rest: Kamen Rider V3. This was one of my favorite programs back in the 70's and I was worried that after not seeing it for about 35 years it would just seem silly to me. I couldn't have been more wrong! By the half way point of the first episode I was sucked in and had a big smile on my face. My childhood memories weren't wrong. It was dark, suspenseful and just good fun! It has typical kid super hero program logical gaps, but they were enjoyable logical gaps. And yes, the model shots can be funny but these were really good effects for a program made in 1973.
I'm going to do a little Sandy Frank and share the first and last episodes. If he could do it to the TV shows 'Mighty Jack,' 'Army of the Apes' and 'Star Wolf' I can do it to Kamen Rider V3!
I just love that people die and things blow up in Japanese kids programs.
So, Kamen Rider V3 stood the test of time for me and is still one of my top 10 favorite TV shows.

Wow, you watched it! I just figured I was putting up pretty pictures. That show just screams early 70's doesn't it? Kamen Rider V3 was only shown in two states, Hawai'i and California. At that time it was really tough to get Japanese programs. According to the lady who was production manager at KIKU TV in Hawai'i, who somehow worked out the rights to show it in the USA, the only channel in Japan that would work out deals was the NET Network. Thankfully most of the best Japanese shows at the time; featuring actors like Toshiro Mifune, Sonny Chiba & Shintaro Katsu; played on NET. Kamen Rider V3 was on the MBS Network. I believe after it finished it then switched to NET as it went into syndication and that's how she ended up getting the rights for it. But it does explain why the USA never received the original 1971-1973 Kamen Rider series. You know, I was wondering why that hat kept causing me deja vu. That Japanese Che Guevara is the actor Hiroshi Fujioka and he played the original Kamen Rider. That show was so huge in Japan that a minor planet was named after the actor. His blood is screaming in the howling wind because of his murdered family. The actor playing Kazami Shiro/Kamen Rider V3, Hiroshi Miyauchi, is singing the theme song, so at times it's a first person narrative. For me it's that 'Hell spawned enemy' line that puts a grin on my face. You can never trust those hell spawned enemies!

Will taking my cat for a walk in the park work? It just dawned on me how lonely of a walk that would be. I'd be walking and the cat would be two streets away stalking a bird. Not so much stalking as torturing. Then it would get the idea of bringing it back as a sacrificial gift to it's owner and god and into the house come's a half dead and mortified bird. Appeasement is thus achieved and feeding is guaranteed for another week or so. And so goes cat logic. Go figure.

There was a Garfield cartoon way back in the day, where Jon did just that. Garfield wrapped the leash all around Jon and poor Jon had to drag himself home by the lips as every girl he approached ran away screaming.
