So I'm going to stand corrected on this as I remembered that they're Fruit Tingles but it turns out that Fruit Tingles are Lifesaver Fruit Tingles.

Fruit Tingles were originally Allen's but have been rebranded a couple of times. They look similar, but they're not Fruit Tingles. I suspect that they are musk Lions MInts, for just a little more STRAYA in your rations.

That's the one. Bizarre French animation.

Speaking of, I just found out there was a 2012 sequel series to The Mysterious Cities of Gold. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I had a look at the new opening - they used the same song (new version), which is interesting.

I'm not sure how to feel either. I'll just listen to the Ulysses 31 theme instead.

A Clockwork Orgy is a masterpiece.

The real master touch if that film (borrowed from a petrol station, for a sad bachelor's party twenty odd years ago) is the guy randomly dressed as Biggles who leaves his WWI aviator's helmet on for his scene.

He's joked that how the contracts worked out his son gets more money per broadcast of the TV show than he does royaltieswise. No idea if it's true.

Altman took a huge paycut to direct the movie, without any of the percentages a director would usually have, so his son made more from the movie than he did.

Suddenly I'm realising that either the monster is built like a Ken doll, or the doctor had to inspect the dicks of a bunch of corpses to find one he liked.

Pretty sure that while Frankenstein built the monster from corpses, it was a custom job. He didn't look for a good pair of hands and sew them on.

Also he explicitly built him to a larger scale, because he had trouble with fine needle work.

So, to recap, he designed and built a custom, oversized dong.

All the dong talk made me realize what they're both looking at on the frontispiece. (I just thought Monster Frankenstein was terrified because Doctor Frankenstein had sewed his head on his shoulder instead of his neck.)

Unfortunately the engraver had no way to visualise the comedic boing-oing-oing sound that would have prevented any confusion, such as yours.

Also, Frankenstein didn't even finish his undergrad, let alone complete a PhD, so MISTER Frankenstein, if you please.

All those tracks have that bombastic melodramatic sound to them, so is Bat Out of Hell a Meat Loaf album, or a Jim Steinman album?

Harlan Ellison told the story of Hubbard writing his Scientology poo poo on a radio show once and it was basically this but with more amphetamines. Dude locked himself in a hotel room with a roll of butcher paper feeding into the typewriter and a ton of speed.

The story of Scientology is all sorts of hosed up fascinating. My understanding is that Hubbard financed his early Scientology stuff with money he pinched from Jack Parsons (rocket engineer and occultist, a job description you don't see much these days):

Another huge factor is in very quick order we got rid of indoor smoking. People born in the 90s probably don't even remember it.

Like one random Tuesday in the summer of '99 you just couldn't smoke anywhere but biker bars anymore.

I was born in '77 and both my parents smoked indoors. I lived with smokers after I moved out and my first partner smoked. Then I briefly smoked in my late twenties and early thirties. When I quit several years ago, I realised I actually had a sense of smell, which was amazing.

Also realised I was probably that smelly kid growing up, which is less amazing.
