So--"Distant Cousins" did the music. I gotta say that they're a great knock-off band,
laying out the styles of the popular music at the time, from Billy Vaughn's "Wheels" style guitar work at the beginning, British Invasion style, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Rivers style...man, they're talented that way. Not as agile as The Roots but damn close.

Oh yeah--I did do a bingo card, got a bingo quite some time ago--but I have to say that when I marked "radio broadcast" it was in reference to a sound effect they used as precursor to theramin: it was RADIOTELETYPE. Yessirree, this movie was a nerd's delight!
#Monsterdon


Yes, I'm glad Ari assisted me to view tonight's #Monsterdon because YESSSSS! Nerd fuel here! That weirdo that stopped the car to strangle its driver had a recognizable AM radio dial on his head--and before the driver was strangled, he tried to burn the weirdo with an old thing that was replaced with traffic cones nowadays: a thing that looks like a canonball but holds kerosene in it and you could light it on the top. WOW what an antique!


I'm prolly behind everyone else in #Monsterdon because I just **HAD** to re-rack to take a closer look at that hollowware headgear, supposedly given trouble by high humidity, which is weird given the components I saw there: nearly all encapsulated capacitors. Ceramic-clad electrolytics, a good number of resin-clad film, on micah of all things and one disc ceramic. That solitary vacuum tube was pre-miniaturization era type.

This one's not easy to Alt because it's a long list of Trump's failures. The header reads: " Trump: I'm 'really smart' and 'a very stable genius'.


#Trump #TrumpMemes

This one's easy to Alt. Image of a smirking Trump decked out in a khaki jacket with sewn patches on it, one of which is Space Force's. Text = FULL METAL JACKASS


#Trump #TrumpMemes

This one's a Google Plus classic, and easier to Alt.
It's a pic of Hillary Clinton talking laughingly to Obama and Obama is seated, doubled over in laughter. Text + IF TRUMP GOES TO PRISON, IT WOULD BE HIS FIRST COMPLETE SENTENCE!


#Trump #TrumpMemes
Some of these images are too complex to render well with alt text, sorry to say, and I've found Altbot to miss the mark too many times. Please forgive me.


Seriously. We've seen this #Trump movie before so it's well worth recycling #TrumpMemes from yester year.


@Ivey Janette McClelland @Maddad ☑️

Indeed, but odd you should mention that because during Trump 1.0 I did up a meme exactly for that.

Alt = a still from the last scene of "Sunset Boulevard" where the character Norma Desmond presents herself to arresting officers amid a group of photographers who she tells that she's ready for her close-up--except that's Donald Trump's face.

Image of the Time cover picturing a coronated Trump; originally text said "TRUMP LONG LIVE THE KING" altered to read "TRUMP ALWAYS THE DRAMA QUEEN"


The reason I had to verbally describe Radio Canada International's old logo is because Google got too st00pid to find one online. I dug for radio clubs and finally found it. Shame, SHAME Google!!
Also on that club's page was a letter welcoming a listener to the RCI Listener's Club, signed by the legendary Ian McFarland, who ran it. Yes I was a member.

Thinking that the CBC's logo was always an "exploding pizza". It was a new thing when Radio Canada International ditched the maple leaf inscribed with concentric circles for the "exploding pizza", and that's when the CBC still had La Maison Radio Canada in Montreal.


@Tom Grzybow
It shouldn't be because Ray Stevens did a cover of that tune AND "Beyond The Blue Horizon", another Mac&Eddy classic, though originally sung by just the Mac half (Jeannette). Now don't tell me you don't remember Ray Stevens.


Dudley DoRight used to keep this guy in line. Snidely Whiplash.
Now picture this guy turning orange and yanking around the UN and Congress.

...Seth Meyers was still a peon on SNL and he wasn't doing that "Back In My Day" bit.

Perhaps letter spacing flexibility is in order. What I would do is lay out the spacing for SCOTUS and place the letters of BOGUS straddling 2 letters of SCOTUS.

Curious thing, this.
I saw a remarkable looking refrigerator in some episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents only I don't recall which one it was...and then tonight saw the same model fridge in The Twilight Zone episode "People Are Alike All Over". I would dearly like to find out what make and model that thing was--nobody makes fridge door handles like that anymore.

They's spunky, glittery little things but mainly range in the southern half of the US. When their wings are folded, there's a mottled appearance flecked with reflective silver bits; when opened, they look a bright orange with black flecks.

Listen up, children, and you shall hear
A story that isn't 'bout Paul Revere;
Instead you shall hear a rather large tale
Of how Twitter, then Musk, ditched the famous Fail Whale
...who was simply carried away by Alfred Hitchcock's Birds.


Another influence of #SlyStone was evident after the release of a presently-forgotten song, "Everyday People", a line of which influenced the title of a popular sitcom. Sly's fans already know that I'm talking about "Diff'rent Strokes".
Watchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?


Yes, #RIP the iconic #SlyStone who was the source of the term absconded by the actor of the same name: #FamilyStone . In full, it's "Sly and the Family Stone" whose music was in the closing credits of one of the Shrek films. Thank You Fallettin Me Be Mice Elf Again. #ShrekTheThird

There's a reason why you separate military from the police...

Text = "There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."

Oh it was midnight on the sea
The band was playin' Near My God To Thee
Fare thee well, Titanic, fare thee well.

Well they wouldn't let Jack Johnson on board
They said this ship don't haul no coal
Fare thee well, Titanic, fare thee well.
