That probably doesn't light-box well.....

Makes me think of some of the more half-baked and cut-corenr aliens from the '60s Outer Limits.

Centuri Model Rockets in particular.

Just the joy of wonder and discovery in general.

Car batteries had removable caps use refill the water level in those days. I guessing that you poured the additive down the cap hole.

And doing endless endos on a Honda ATC-90 without a helmet....

Same here. Another child of the '70s.

I was wondering about the change of the meaning of robot from synthetic flesh and blood human in R.U.R. into a mechanical device?

I was also thinking about the shifting meaning of 'droid from a human-like robot to just any mechanical robot, and maybe to the consumer device.

I believe that Frankenstein is in there for the west too.

So I take it that the Empire is still holding out strong even after losing Vader, the Emperor, and the second Death Star in Episode 6.

Actually I day-dream about my projects being movies and having soundtracks.

Sci Fi Guy! would use minor and forgotten '70s hits, AOR deep tracks, plus it would use some killer Krautrock for underscore.

InterStellar OverDrive would feature a lot of '50s Rockabilly, '70s New Wave, and '80s Alternative. Some would be even…

I'm surprised that American Graffiti didn't do that 40-some years ago.

They're aren't enough ridiculously over the top ways to describe this!

It gets better. Film width was in Metric millimeters, usually 35mm, 16mm, and two or three flavors of 8mm. But the length was in Imperial feet.

The Nieces asked if camcorders didn't have sound back then for home movies from the 8mm days.

A little while back, I was explaining LPs and 45s to somebody. The conservation kind of trailed off as I also tried to explain 12" 45s and all those mutant EPs in between.

I was thinking about "footage" the other day.

"Full head of steam."

Although I'm trying to revive one of my old comics, The Inventer & Igor, and have the buzz-phrase be "Don't blow a tube!" (The tagline may be "When life gives you lemons, invent lemon cannons!")

He raised the bar and cast a very long shadow.

Eric Allie. He's probably be great for a Nick bumpers. But mostly he comes off as a smug preppie conservative in his specious political cartoons.

I'm working from the other way. I'm trying to overcome having it crippled from a 1000 paper cuts. ""That's not sports, spelling, grammar, 4-H, or normal; and it's not a real talent that we encourage here!" for doing stuff in the '70s that would now be Steampunk. "You're unmellow and you suck because you're not like…
