Bigfoot and Wildboy - and other good stuff!

I can't be the only one that remembers this crazy shit...



This is some of the Saturday morning stuff I grew up on!



Maaaan, the acting was baaaaad! But I guess when you're like 10 years old, that's not so much of a problem, eh?



But don't worry, it wasn't all Bigfoot and Wildboy - there was Wonderbug!



Wow, I guess I really just kinda glazed over how bad the special effects were back then!

Here's another one I loved:



Then there was this classic that I LOOOVED (although I don't remember any of the clips) because of the superhero appeal:



Ok, dropping out of live action and into animation, I LOOOOVED this one, but perhaps as much for the theme song as anything. I'm thinking I may have to make my own superpowered Josey in Champions Online - the character creator offers a number of feline parts:



And why stop there when you can send your funky cartoon characters into outerspace!?!?



Hmmm...not that I think about it, maybe the animated Speed Buggy was better than the live action Wonderbug:



Oh totally forgot about Jeannie - wow, there were alotta lead females back then!



OMG Forgot about this one too - don't hate me later when you're humming this catchy theme song! LA LA LA - LALALALAAAAA




This was great - although now that I think about it...*Captain* Caveman? Hunh.



And finally...who's the number one super guy?? Well, it's not Rosemary the operator!

Videos from the Halloween party...

Here's a small collection of videos from the Halloween party - I need to upload some more (YouTube wasn't liking me the last two nites, and kept giving me grief).

To begin, we have Jamie's first motorboating of my chicken breast meat:



Apparently we weren't sure if it recorded or decided it needed something different, and so we had another go at it - this was so funny (but maybe you had to be there?):



I'm sure she had a mouth full of feathers from that!

Unfortunately many of the videos are really dark - especially this one - but it was still worthwhile recording Eric on his SECOND fatalii pepper! That is one brave lumberjack!



Cindy entertained us with her singing (and almost-dancing) skills during Rock Band - sing it Cindy!



And here's Grant's performance of a Beastie Boys song that had everyone ROLLING once they realized what he was doing. He wasn't singing a single word that was supposed to be in the song...and instead was doing some hilarious ad-libbing... (Listen for the hokey pokey!)

Dear Mother Nature...

Let's not be a tease about this, ok? We both know we want this, and we know it's gonna happen, so don't be all coy and act like you're going to put out but then withhold. That's not cool.

Cuddle buddies

I'm not sure what's up with these two lately - maybe it's the colder weather, or the fact we moved one of the old sofas up to the office, and it's had a comforter on it since Brett slept while sick and extremely congested one night.  Whatever the case, Simon and Moxie have been spending a LOT of time piled up on the comforter, napping away.

They spent a lot of time like this when they were just kittens, but they seemed to have grown apart over the years.  Doogie's been in the house for over a year now, so it can't be a safety-in-numbers or hiding from the dog thing.  Simon's much more comfortable walking around Doogie, and Moxie's ALWAYS kinda stayed hidden, even before Doogie.

And, just like when they were kittens, sometimes Simon's spends the nap time ON Moxie rather than NEXT to her...  While she looks a little pained here, I think it's because I just woke her up.

See, she's fine!

Turns out Simon was giving her a serious bath, and then left, and when she finally decided to sit up, she had a SERIOUS case of bed-head, or licked-back-to-front head!  She's looking seriously disheveled here...

Happy Halloween!

Sorry I haven't posted much lately...the Halloween holiday's kept us pretty busy, plus we've had a lot going on (and I've been fighting a lot of crime)

I promise to get back to posting real soon!

At Last!! THE PARTY PICS!

And I promise to work on getting videos uploaded soon!!

Here's the pics...or click on the Tortured Barbie trophy below...

Halloween Party 2009 Pics

Wx!

Whoa - didn't expect to see THAT in the forecast just yet!

Hm, wonder if I should be picking all the peppers and beans that are still out there?

Mystery bug

Check out this interesting bug I found out on one of the deck chairs this past week!

I need to do some research online - it has the overall shape/look of a Japanese beetle, only that back pattern/color is definitely NOT Japanese beetle.  I'm wondering if it's a freshly hatched/molting Japanese beetle?  Or perhaps something totally unrelated?  It didn't seem TOO bothered by us checking it out...

And by "us" I mean "me and the dog", who proceeded to get "too interested" in the bug (that's what happens if I look at something for more than a few seconds), and bumped it off the chair into the fern. Oh well...let's hope it wasn't something evil that I should've stomped!
