Awesome series that I appreciate more as an adult than as a child. There's a lot to write about too - Harlan Ellison and The Terminator being another example. . .
I never buy organic. Too expensive due to 1) the additional manual labor required to get it to market and 2) the overall yields are lower than conventional farming. Awful hard to get that yield without some kind of pesticide.
Nope. Didn't, doesn't, never will work for me. Back in the 60's, the original was on a short list of legendary must see horror films. All we had to to go on was "Famous Monsters of Filmland" and the vagaries of 3 television networks. When we finally did get to see it we'd all talk about what was cut - blood feeding the plants was a biggie.
I'll give the remake credit for being more faithful to the source, but the best I can say - I thought it was pretty cheesy.
Introducing James Arness as The Thing. Tell the world. Watch the skies!
1. Going down to the "tracks" and hitching rides on trains.
2. "Hitchin" in the winter (required snow covered streets). One guy distracts a driver stopped at a stop sign while 2-3 others hitch on to the car's rear bumper and get taken for a ride.
3. Tackle football and hockey in the street.
4. Garage Hopping. Houses were close together, garages were detached. You could go pretty far. We'd even play "Garage Tag." I fell through one once.
Doc Savage is Clark Savage, Jr. He is a physician, scientist, adventurer, detective, inventor, explorer, researcher, and, as revealed in The Polar Treasure, a musician. A team of scientists assembled by his father deliberately trained his mind and body to near-superhuman abilities almost from birth, giving him great strength and endurance, a photographic memory, a mastery of the martial arts, and vast knowledge of the sciences.
Awesome bit of social history.

Good times.
Kind of Hard Not to See a Pattern
And you can tell Thor he needs to change his name.
I dunno. The whole superhero thing works for me.
Unions.
