( handgun quiz )

Saw the girls from Charlie’s Angels 2 interviewed. They were coming across as *really* (not just generic actor) airhead dumb. It surprised me, and leads me to wonder if they're *acting* really dumb (given that TV interviews are canned and totally non-spontaneous) or actually total vacuum-heads. Either way, it begs the question... Does it make them more attractive to the public at large, or was it a horrible mistake to let them go on a promotional tour?



I got to talking with Ray via email about the great old USA TV show "Night Flight" . There is very little of value about the show online, though. Lots of weird, goofy rock videos, movie clips and cult films. (It was later renamed or replaced by "Up all Night" and it just wasn't as good with a host, even if it was Gilbert Gottfried.) Ticking off things that wake back up... music videos by The Residents, Dynaman (the Japanese version of Power rangers) Episodes, SubGenius "Bob" films, Starewicz films and if I remember right, the first time I saw Porky pig say "Son of a b-b-b-b-b... gun. I bet you thought I was going to say Son of A bitch, didn't ya?" as he hammered his thumb. I'm wondering if I have any episodes on tape in my "box of unmarked random TV" collection along with old episodes of the real Ghostbusters, max headroom and misc MTV. If so, hopefully I'll be able to get Kev to burn them to a DVD for me. I'd really like to view The Intruder and Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge again.

I wonder if Tony is still part of Amway? The allure of that company is very strong, and the conditioning is not unlike certain cult tactics of peer pressure and indoctrination. Speaking of indoctrination, someone scanned in a Scientology promotional book from the 70s. Even if you don't care about the cult, the production values and the styles are well worth it. Every single page is a riot.

I was also reminded of Kelly... whom I had a massive crush on. I thought it was a great match... she was cute, personable, a gamer, from Massachusetts, and the only other person in our group that was single. Alas, it wasn't meant to be... I think I tried too hard. Kelly was part of our old gaming group one summer, compliments of the Wu's and SFSFS. That and meeting Danny via Tropicon are two of the best influxes of folks into my social circle thanks to the society. Downside... I think Elaine was obtained through there as a result, too. I've attended quite a few Tropicons, though three of them resulted in an early exit and trip around town instead. Highlights include Kathleen and I assisting Ray as GMs, and a Zombie killer game... Meeting Neil Gaiman, and talking about the CBLDF, sweeping the casino, and having my choice of all prizes one year, winning a grab bag of all Shadowrun items available that year. Sneaking in to just browse the dealer’s room before bolting off with Danny for lunch elsewhere, after getting fun loot to send to people and keep for myself. Other Kelly Memories are going to See Men In Tights and peanut butter M&Ms, 60s DC universe game.

Weird... somebody subscribed me to Playboy magazine. (Well, my address, the name on the bag it comes in was "Elad Rozman". Elad... Dale?

I wonder if the numbers got mixed up on the address box. I'll have to ask Danny if he subscribed me as a weird sort of present or something. If it's not a secret goodie, I'll call up the magazine offices on Monday, and let 'em know that I didn't order it.

Meanwhile, free playboy. (Following links may contain nudity)

Carnie Wilson Nude... wearing a corset to cover up her gastric bypass scars, I'm guessing. Her face has an odd characteristic to it...seems long or something. It looks like she got a doctor to help trim the sag that must've been bound to happen after losing that much weight that fast. She looks ok.. I hope her health is better as a result of the operation.

Some airbrushed Girls from Survivor, I thought the way it worked was you were in playboy first, and then ended up on a crappy TV show? For what it's worth the ladies are appealing, and even though I don't normally gravitate to blondes, she has a nice look. I could not gather through a perusal of the article which name went with which girl, so that seems to be an oversight.

a very bland, generic centerfold. She's a very typical airbrushed girl.

When did Playboy start with "sexy letters"? I though that was a penthouse/more hardcore thing.

A nifty article about crime scenes, and a lot of very standard Playboy panel cartoons, another article unread as yet about undercover cops, cool electronics, Interview with Tobey Maguire. Could be good, The Blameless society is especially nifty, about pointing fingers.

Not a bad mag for $5.99 on the street.
