Long long ago, I was upset by G-Force.
Tue, 04 Oct 2005

I have a lot of ideas all the time; most I don't write down or remember, and some are the good ones I keep close to my chest for Getting Rich Someday.. but I thought I'd post a few here and there just for a lark. But before I do, I thought I'd waste your time a little more ;) I'll talk about glowing carpets later, I promise. Read on spiderfriends..

Over lunch, I was talking with a fellow about old school television and movies and such and he brought up Battle of the Planets (G-Force) - that rediculous (but well loved by us all in grade 3 or so) cartoon about some heroes with an affinity for birds (feathered capes) and a ship that could turn into a burning phoenix for a little bit of the old self sacrifice. Good silly adventure with silver boomerang hawks ensued. Well, there was one two-parter episode where Princess (the character who existed to hustle everyone, or otherwise get into trouble and need saving) was swallowed by man-eating plants, to be slowly digested over a period of time. I remember being traumatized by this event, since of course we all had to wait another week to find out what would happen to the poor lass (she was of course rescued) -- the whole thought of being slowly digested by plant was recurring fodder for nightmares for months if I remember right :) Much worse than when I was upset by Bilbo being tied up in the Hobbit (cartoon) and sent to bed before finding out what become of the hapless hobbit. But I digress...

Some inventions. Why don't these exist?

There you have it. Give me a slice of the pie if you get rich, okay?
