What might have been

In response to Cake's blog entry lamenting that we do not have rocket cars even in 2009 as we were promised in many sci-fi books and movies at least we can take solace in the fact that certain other, shall we say negative "prophecies" haven't come true from the self same sci-fi books and movies. Like this here TV show intro explains from 1980. In the date in the intro I'd have been 19 yeard old and in my 2nd year of college. I'm glad it didn't come to be.

Wow. I never saw Thundarr. Some of comics' top names worked on it: Steve Gerber, Alex Toth, Jack Kirby, Roy Thomas...

So why does it look like such shit?

Hope the episodes were better.

David,
They were awesome when I was 6 years old. I dare not try one now.

See Cake? You have to take the good with the bad. Still want your rocket car at this price?

Poor God.

1. He has people who think His name is a four-letter word ("Gawd").

2. His Son -- BLOGGER CROSSOVER! -- loves bacon, which is only "bad" in His case because Jesus was raised in a good Jewish home. (That, by the way, is how I know that God wants me to be a Christian. Jews and Muslims, can't eat pork, ham, bacon, pork sausage, etc., and for me, well, that would just be silly!!!)

Which makes me wonder: Are Jews and Muslims allowed to read this blog?

All are welcome to read this blog. Though anyone that tries to tell me what to eat, especially in the name of religion, can go fuck right off.

On that note it's not Jewish people that don't eat pork, it's specifically Jewish people who follow a kosher diet only. As my girlfriend's sister mentioned to me when meeting her family for the first time "Don't worry, we're bacon loving Jews".

Jesus was a bacon-lovin' Jew!For some reason, this reminds me of a National Lampoon story, "Jessica Christ," which told a version of the Christ story with Jesus as a woman:

"Take and eat, for this is my body, broken for thee."

"Hubba, hubba!" said the Apostles.

Okay. This is totally off-topic except for its bacon reference, but here goes (and this question is primarily for Bacon Ace, but anyone else may join in): Have you tried any of those pre-cooked bacon brands? You know, the ones that give you, like, two slices in a box, and the unit price works out to be about $400 a pound? Plus, the "slices" are what you would call a good-sized slice if you were, say, a parakeet. I should also mention that they're "pre-cooked" to a degree or two or six less than I'd like; I tend to like my bacon very well done, as does the other David Lynch, the director.

But I digress.

Now, I realize that what I've written so far may make you think that I hate the stuff, but all things considered, if God (or Gawd) ever walked up to me and said, "You can either eat only this pre-cooked stuff, or eat NO bacon, ever again," I'd jump on the pre-cooked stuff in a jiffy.

Any input on this oh-so-important subject?

Meh, I'v ehad it at a cookout at someone else's house as something to put on the burgers. It was OK as a readily available condiment, but you'll never see it in my kitchen.
So yeah, I think we feel the same about it. I will also saythat it's light years better than the pre-cooked bacon at any fast food place.

"Don't worry, we're bacon loving Jews" is a damn good line. Betcha it made you feel right at home. We like the girlfriend's sister. Yes! We do!
