Early-retirement couch potato in his mid-50s. I've seen the future. I can't afford it.

I will never stop being upset that we do not have a food-a-rac-a-cycle.
Ed Cook hopes that he gets to eat a McRib in 2026@edcooknj.bsky.social · 2y agoAs a child, I feel as though I was underinformed about how much of adulthood is spent cleaning, doing laundry, cooking, and other things around the house. I don't care about flying cars. Where is my robot maid? Where is my food-a-rac-a-cycle?
I *so* wanted to be a contestant on the local version, TVPixxx, which aired during afternoon cartoons on WPIX in the New York City area. Same idea, except the kids had to shout 'Pix!' through the telephone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3Rt...

CC@cckirby.bsky.social · 23h agoAn insane video game-related Lost Media find has quietly popped up on YouTube. Two episodes of "Say Powww!", a 1979 game show about video games that only aired in some markets. People in studio and over the phone played Intellivision (!!) games. Predates Starcade!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=29tJ...
at one point in one of the episodes a prank caller actually gets through and poor host Jack Clark has to deal with that live on the air, incredible stuff
Oh, yeah. I'm there, too. (Please don't repost.)

This is a magnificent eighties commercial for 7 Up starring Pac-Man and a sound-a-like version of Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carrnes with 7 Up lyrics.

NEW! From the Delete Bin! Blind Melon's biggest hit boasted an iconic video. But thematically, it represents a number of important social implications about conformity. Read more.
Blind Melon Play “No Rain”
A breakthrough single for Blind Melon, and remaining to be their signature song, “No Rain” is an anthem about not finding mainstream appeal. Instead, it’s about what it feels like…

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.
Following up, Jeff just sent me this picture of what they handed out at KNOCKOUTS at Joe's Pub this evening, featuring Bridget Everett and Patti LuPone. (My phone wants to call her 'Patti Lupine, so very badly.) #BroadwaySky #OffBroadwaySky
Ed Cook hopes that he gets to eat a McRib in 2026@edcooknj.bsky.social · 4d agoWhere's Jeff tonight? He's at Joe's Pub, to see Bridget Everett and Patti LuPone do a concert reading of KNOCKOUTS, something new written by Bridget, Isaac Oliver, Marc Shaiman, Rachel Shukert, and Scott Wittman. Phones are locked up in Yondr pouches, so no actual pics from there. #BroadwaySky

MISHEARD LYRICS! For 42 years now, when listening to Ratt's 'Round and Round', I thought they sang, "Tied in our belts, a piece of felt." Nope. Finally looked it up today. "Tightened our belts, abused ourselves." (Though another site has it as "tighten" and "abuse". Same thing, present tense.)
It's #SpiderManDay, and I'm here to tell you that Spider-Man is a JERK! A deep dive into the history of Debra Whitman... 🧵 Introduced in Amazing Spider-Man #196 by Marv Wolfman & Al Milgrom, Deb gets just two panels as the secretary of Doctor Sloan, for whom Pete works as a teaching assistant...
I mean, *of course* Wonder Woman is the hero shown in the kitchen. Why wouldn't they? And Robin is like, "I couldn't stand using the bathroom after Batman pooped, until I got one of these air fresheners."
45 years ago today, on August 1st, 1981, MTV began airing on cable TV (If you were lucky, it aired in your area. I forget at what point during 1982 it finally became available where I lived.)
