Rapid Fire Friday

Lately I’ve been seeing ads for the 6th season of Macgyver on DVD and every time there is that moment of “I should get that” and then realizing I would never actually watch it.

Having loved the Paul Dini/Bruce Timm incarnations of Batman, Superman and the Justice League… I’m a little disappointed that the next series is Legion of Super-heroes… I would really have loved to see their take on a Hal Jordan Green Lantern series with Oa and the Corp.

Am I the only one who thought the lead singer of Judas Priest was gay WAY before he ever came out? Turbo lover… uh huh.

I was totally getting into the new Dr. Who series on TV and then I heard that the man playing the Doctor is only staying for one season… it was his personality that got me to watch it.

Got a copy of Tommyrot, the new art book from Ben Templesmith… great book and great art. It should hit store soon so grab it.

Maybe I’m a “physician snob” but every doctor I have gone to up until today had an office in either a medical building/plaza or in a hospital. Today I went to one that was down in San Pedro and the place looked like a converted house with a runaway tree out front… and it was on a residential street.

Watching Queensryche in concert right now… Mindcrime is still one of the best albums ever. Sat with two friends the other night as the debated which was better Beach Boys: Pet Sounds or Beattles: Sgt Peppers’… I have to say I won’t vote for either. Not that their bad but they just didn’t have the effect on me that they did on my friends. But Mindcrime opened my eyes to a whole new musical genre.

When I was younger, like mid-twenties, I was always saying “I want a pony”… now, looking at my backyard and how hard it is to clean up after cats… I’m glad no one took me seriously.

How come purple or green aren’t more widely accepted as pen colors?

I’ve come to the conclusion that when planning the Los Angeles freeway system… there wasn’t really a plan.

I think why Football and Nascar is so popular while the other sports are a ways behind has to do with the number of games in both the regular season and the playoffs. In football you have 16 games and if you get into the playoffs, you lose and you go home. Nascar’s point system makes it similar… every race is important. In baseball, basketball and hockey you have series where the best team will eventually win out. Even in the March Madness it’s win or go home. I’m against the ‘win or try again tomorrow’ playoff model.

Did you know that Brian May of Queen built his own guitars with inferior parts his father would bring home… that’s how he got his signature sound. He bought a manufactured guitar once he had money but ended up going back to his own.

Remember back when collecting matchbooks was an actual hobby?

Exactly what is Jaime Pressley famous for and why would I care?

So how many racing movies are they going to do under the ‘Fast and the Furious’ banner? Didn’t Vin Diesel appear in one of these some time?

Why hasn’t there been a football team called the Juggernauts? I would be a lot more afraid of a Juggernaut than a Dolphin or a Cardinal… and what the hell is a Packer anyway?
