M.A.S.K.
I was going to write about my favorite cartoon/toy from the 1980s…Mobile Armed Strike Kommand (M.A.S.K.). I read up on it on Wikipedia, found some YouTube links, and saved a few pics…but I just wasn’t feeling it. Something in the night’s air distracted me. I stood in the driveway for a few minutes, just listening to the wind…and then, I heard it. A voice. A voice in through the breeze. A whisper followed by an immediate chill running up spine. An epiphany.
The voice told me what to write. Letters. Letters to God. And so we have a new segment on Living at 6250 Feet…Letters to God. Letters to God will be a segment in which I will write one letter per week to God. In addition to just writing the letters, I will mail them to him. Yup…got his address today…wind told me that too.
But wait…there’s more…reader participation!!! After my post each week, you, the reader, will have a chance to write your own letters to God. I’ll read them all and might, just might, send one of those directly to the big man.
Seriously…I’m mailing these. I already sent this one.

Chevy Traverse
So there is a new Chevy commercial. The car is the Traverse. Its some sort of mini SUV and they're comparing it to the Toyota Highlander. There are two actors on the commercial. The first is Howie Long (Fox football guy, former DT) and the other is a little red haired girl...awww, so cute (extreme sarcasm). Well, the two imbeciles are discussing what a "big girl" car is and isn't...you know, senseless banter with children...awful. So right about the time I want to paper cut my own eyes, the little girl points to Howie's crotch and says "that looks like a big girl's seat" (about 90% sure on that quote)...wow...I almost pissed myself.
This was brought to my attention by a girl who carries a bottle of Jameson in her purse.

Another very worthy cartoon from that era is He-Man. Thunder Cats was pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteIn the past, I have BYOVed. To bars. And restaurants. Quite thrifty.
ReplyDeleteThat girl has probably sat on Howie Long's seat.
ReplyDeleteI am still in shock by the picture you posted of Erwin "Skippy" Handelman a few days ago. It looks like a skinny Mytys and it gives me the willies.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the latest post it was a total let down that M.A.S.K was about a cartoon and NOT about the phenom 80s cult hit movie and Cher's award winning performance in it. Couldn't we have a Cher week to make up for your miss?
Looking forward to joining you in some letters to G-d. Me being one of the chosen ones and all, I think my notes to Him get priority over yours. Sorry, just one of the many perks.

it's incidents like the great axe wound of January 24th that should remind us how lucky we are to be able to blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat if you typed with your knee? Then what would happen to this thing?
The papahs Josh! The papahs!
ReplyDeleteTo get here, I clicked a link in an email promising "knee gashing action shots". Where are they?
