Somehow you always knew television of the 1970s was a Sargasso Sea of crazy...
As a survivor of 70's TV, I can tell you it was more of a Dead Sea of deadly dull. The weed-hazed weirdness coming from Sid and Marty Krofft provided some of the few exceptions. How many bongs were named after H.R. Puffinstuff? #krofftsuperstore
You know, I was once severely confused by an accidental exposure to an episode of this show and an unfortunate collision with memories of _The Six Million Dollar Man_. I swear, I stood in front of the TV for about ten minutes going "Wait, isn't he supposed to be a robot or something?" before the breakers tripped in my head.
What *was* it with the seventies and conflicting Bigfoots? #krofftsuperstore
@Brian Fowler: No, poor Carter was just trapped between the hammer of "Galactica 1980" and the anvil of "Supertrain."
Oh, and of course, there was the vicious crotch-punch that was FootBoy and BigMan or Sasquatch 'n' Friends or whatever the hell that was. #krofftsuperstore
What...to power our iPhones? Our gas guzzling jets? Our coal powered energy plants? Which AMAZING technology is he referring to? I know he's bats**t insane, I'm just wondering how he's justifying that remark. #liesdeception
@Roklimber: Sorry. I mistook you for Metalunan, because I was under the impression that all Talus IV males were bald. Or is that hair just a mental projection? #liesdeception
@Erinaceus: No, no. The females are bald and have more advanced mental powers than us males. We can't mentally project anything but we can perform telekinesis on light objects. #liesdeception
@Roklimber: was trying to define your definition of "light". I was thinking nutritionally accepted definitions of light would be a good place to start.
Diet Coke seems like a good place to start. #liesdeception
@PostMarque: I see. As you can tell, human languages still confuse me at times. I meant light as in not heavy, ie, not having a lot of mass. #liesdeception
The fact that we haven't been exterminated by now could mean either there is no other intelligent life out there or we're so heinously awful that they want absolutely nothing to do with us.
I'm going with the later because I'm pretty sure we're the trailer trash of the Universe.. #liesdeception
@TPL2008: can u find that article about aliensnot existing because earth governments are to incompetent to maintain a coverup and if the aliens werecompetent enough we r fraked #liesdeception
@PostMarque: There are thousands of them. It's kind of obvious, actually, there are hundreds things that are done on a daily basis that harm millions, and they are not usually kept in the shadows, they're just done blatantly, spin as necessary, and/or the critics are silenced. You don't need that no one knows to hide something. Only that the ones who do don't matter. #liesdeception
Haha. "All these old myths have tales of creatures coming from the sky. Therefore they must be physical accounts of aliens".
Man, I miss the days where people took myth seriously. If they still did, they might clue into the fact that the same universal human impulse to drag creatures out of the heavens to invigorate our world is still alive and well.
I also heard that claude levi-strauss dies today, so I guess I'm reminiscing about myths a lot. #liesdeception
"Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up the road, some youths came from the city and mocked him, and said to him, "Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!" So he turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the LORD. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths." #liesdeception

I wonder what the holiday parties were like at ABC around that time ...
Now all they need is the Wookie cast of Star Wars Holiday Special to join them and they have a bonafide community here ... #krofftsuperstore

All this time, I was thinking it was because Regan sold out the embassy in Iran, and the "liberal media" sold Carter out to Regan. #krofftsuperstore

That could be a good idea for a film and a spin off tv series.
I'm off to MGM with this idea, what's Richard Dean Anderson been up to since his MacGyver days, i think he'd be the ideal lead? #liesdeception
