TexAnne @ 68... Today's kids. They dish it out, but they can't have it dished out at them. They'd rather insult themselves than take it from their elders. Bah humbug.
Syd @ 61... I even have plans for a sitcom spinoff, Mosquitots.
Syd @ 59... All I saw was the coming attraction for the movie and so can't tell how deftly acrobatic the octopus was. I should probably check and see when Skiffy will show it again.
Yes, I am a glutton for punishment.
Why do you ask?
By the way, at the 2006 worldcon, I attended a talk by someone from Skiffy. I remember his asking the audience "C'mon, aren't you glad to know that there IS a movie out there called Mansquito?"
He does have a point. I guess I'd better go back to writing my unauthorized sequel to that one. What is it called?
Womantis, of course.
Bill Higgins @ 249... The MythBusters and rocketry? Yay! By the way, HERE is the time they build a hybrid rocket using Civil-War era technology. Take that, Doctor Miguelito Quixote Lovelès!
Syd @ 40... You know, whenever I think there's no way the Skiffy Channel could come up with anything weirder than my spoofs, it does. I mean, a megashark jumps out of the ocean and grabs a jetliner?
Michael I @ 238... Bruce Cohen @ 239...
If my boss's boss worked for Adam, he and jamie and the rest of the gang would have eventually wanted to use him instead of Buster when they tested the Ottoman Rocketman in this week's experiment. As for his being a real person... Maybe he is a holodeck figure, Conversations with him tend to go like this.
"The database is too slow. Allocate more memory to it."
"There isn't any memory left on the server."
"Allocate more memory to the database."
"There is no spare memory left."
"Allocate more memory to the database."
"There is no... Nevermind."
Found on imdb.com and, no, I didn't make that up:
"The Gay Amigo" (1949), aka "The Daring Rogue"
I have a great idea ("Huh oh") for a SciFi Channel movie about the dangers of genetic engineering.
Coming soon...
Kangarogue
I thought it was just me, but someone from another tech group just described my boss's boss as someone who rejects Reality and substitutes his own.
Scraps @ 138... Welcome back.
As for Laser Books... Jetter too? I think old-time SF writer Raymond F Jones also had a book in there.
Lori Coulson @ 15... I haven't seen that one in ages. George C. Scott as Justin Playfair, and Joanne Woodward as Dr. Mildred Watson...
Kirby @ 7... Huston's version, or the ghastly recent musical? That being said, Moulin Rogue sounds like a Girl Genius story.
Hey! How come Rouge Dawn isn't in that list?!
xeger @ 226... that too may change...
Should your situation change in such a way that you too would be in the Bay Area that weekend, I hope that it'll be for a pleasant reason.
DaveKuzminski @ 124... Carmen Miranda as an editor? It would be a sight to behold.
Exactly 4 weeks from now, I'll be in the Bay Area unless a snow storm hits once we reach Flagstaff. Anybody interested in meeting, that weekend? Say, xeger, you won't happen to be flying by the Bay again, will you?
Dave Robinson @ 89... they say "the golden age of science fiction is thirteen"
While I officially was one decade past the Golden Age during Laser's days, I too liked the books well enough back then. Mind you, there wasn't that much choice for anglophone SF in a francophone city so what the heck did I know?
Steve Taylor @ 86... Alas, I can't take credit for that one. Its inspiration came from a calendar featuring noir films. In the same spirit, I offer you this description of Cyd Charisse's character of a deadly dame in the Mickey Spillane spoof (with Fred Astaire as Mickey) within the movie The Band Wagon...
"She came at me in sections... more curves than a scenic railway."
