A Well-Known Crackpot

About Me

Hmmm...Don't want to give away too much, or else what reason would you have for following up?I'm an athlete, philosopher, (failed) musician, carny, negotiator, daddy, and a few more things when I find time.Most important? I have and adhere to standards and values. My own, of course -- I'm by no means a member of any silly clubs or cults or schools of thought. But I know what I consider right and acceptable and what I consider wrong and verboten. And I can explain why. And I act on those things without apology. Needless to say, I don't find that many easy interactions (ones of any depth, at least) given today's culture. But hope springs eternal...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Heroes. Not grand, famous, superbeings (though a few of them could certainly liven up a Friday night), but people who embrace life as a heroic, epic adventure and live it in just that way. Who know what they think is right and work towards it, whether grand or small, whether I agree with them or not. Who know that it only matters what one person in the world thinks of you -- you. Who are dedicated to eternal, spiraling growth in whatever they do.Oh, and Peter Cushing. But he's dead, so I'll settle for heroes.

films

Occasionally, people ask me why I enjoy the absolute worst, least competently made films ever put to celluloid. The review below explains it far better than I could! 'Judged by almost any standard, A...

PAUL F’N LYNDE!!!!

I have always loved the work of Mr. Center Square. Here are some great ones I found on the web. Keep in mind that he tossed them out on daytime TV in the 1970s, at a time when he was still technically...

Got my first harassing  myspace messages today. If you're reading, my irritating little insect, here's the deal. MySpace is like a bar or a coffeehouse where you overhear bits of people's convers...

For entirely uncharitable reasons...

...I must simply say Bwah-Ha-Ha!!! Few people will get the reference, and no one will get the reason, but every once in a while, shadenfreude rocks!   I'll be my normal nice-guy self in a moment.

Wonderful film review

Review of the 1953 sci-fi/horror thriller "The Twonky" (Not a horrifying title? What if I told you it was about a 1953 console TV possessed by the spirit of an alien robot genius from the future? Stil...
