Zotz

Remember Zotz? I loved zotz, the fizzy explosion in your mouth as the alka seltzer like fizz broke out. The thing me and my buddies would do is swallow them and let them dissolve in the stomach and they'd make you burp. The things you did as a kid.
I wonder if they still make Zotz?
My favorite flavors were lemon and orange.

Twits

Am i the only (in)sane person left on this planet that thinks Twitter is stupid?
Do you really want to follow or post every mind numbing thing you do during the day, don't you have a life?
If you have something to say or share with people get a blog or a Live Journal where you can write a post that isn't limited to 140 characters .
I can see where the ADD crowd would love this "read and forget and oh look shiny stuff" texting.
Has writing and reading been dumbed down to the level of twitter?
I hear someone is trying to make a Twitter tv show, i thought that was what commercials are.
The world didn't end with a bang but with a tweet.

David Carradine

News reports saw that David Carradine has died at the age of 72, he was found dead in his Bangkok hotel room where was making a movie, something called "Stretch". Local media in Thailand initially reported Carradine had committed suicide by
hanging himself in his hotel suite, but the star's agent has told a U.S. TV
channel he believes the actor died of natural causes.
I remember seeing Carradine first playing villians in westerns and tv shows and then as Caine in the classic "Kung Fu" ( a series Bruce Lee wanted to star in but they gave it to Carradine ).
I think Carradine did some of his best work recently in the Kill Bill movies. As i get older more and more of my favorite actors pass away.
Rest in peace David.

Archie Club

I don't remember what year it was maybe 1968 or 1969 but i joined the Archie Club and got the membership card and button (badge for our British readers) (exactly the same as the ones in this pic i found on the web). Cost a whole quarter to join and it came in the mail in that small brown envelope. I can't tell how excited i was and it was a bit of surprise i think it took about 3 months for it to get to me and i had forgotten all about it. :)
I still have the button, i wonder if that means i'm still a member?
Haven't read a Archie comic in years but they were fun way back when.

Shonen Knife Tuesday

konnichiwa

It's Tuesday and that means Shonen Knife around here.
My favorite rock band from Japan and one of my all time favorites from anywhere.
Punk,Rock,Pop,Girl Group and that cute Japanese girl sound all combined for an intoxicating one of a kind sound.
The girls from Osaka, ROCK!
Hey Ho Let's Go!

Dead Critter

The thing you find in your yard. Have no idea what happened to the squirrel, there were no marks of attack from a cat or dog, maybe he was zapped walking on the power line.
My silly dog Mo was going "Mmmmmmmmm dinner!" had to keep away from the deceased critter.
Just had to share.
