    The writers of the Theater 5 story would get along well with Miss Harpley and Mrs. Harridan. They're all fans of Shirley Jackson stories.

    Due to one of Lobo's recent health kick purges (don't ask!), a number of leaks materialized in Castle Despicable's drainage system, and LET ME TELL YOU! Joe the (miserable wretch of a) Plumber has NO NEED of the presidency OR taking over his boss's business to rake in $250,000 a year!

    I have no idea where their overhead expenses come from: the three goons who came to deal with the leaks seemed to use quite a lot of chewing gum, band-aids and duct tape, but not much else. Perhaps it goes for their medical coverage - they did spend quite a lot of time belaboring each other with their tools! I will say, though, that that fellow Larry had a lovely coiffure, a bit similar to my own...

    Excellent political farce, for what I heard and remember. I might have a touch of 'Despicable' in me, as when he remained in Zombie Astronaut's closet for a week. Y'see, I like to play FOF episodes when I lay down. Next thing I know, I wake up and my computer is humming softly, at a lower energy level. I've already done this TWICE with The Slumgullian Candidate, which means I got at least 3 hours, 26 minutes and 58 seconds of sleep while FOF played.
    I enjoy the occasional play on Doctor Despicable's name. Doctor Deplorable, Digestable, Detestable, De Dinnertable.
    It's Veterans Day. It's quiet out there. Maybe too quiet. Semper Fi.

    Who first thought up Zombies, and why is brain matter their food of choice? This is taking way too long. My computer needs a laxative!

      J-J-J-James, zombies originated among African tribal cultists long ago - I might time travel back to investigate one day. As far as their diet of brains, I believe THAT originated with the film RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, as all of George Romero's beasties were just hungrily in search of fresh meat from ANYwhere on the human bod. RotLD (involving Romero's former associate, John Russo, if memory serves) centered them on brains - so that's only been part of the mythology for about 20 years! Then of course we have ZA, who's always going on about brains, but (as we have seen) will not turn up the place where his nose used to be at any innards that happens to land in his lap...
