...just to kill this thread like most of my posts do..

I really had "the Hots" for the character: Penny, ..in my pre/near-pubescent thrall.. the "apple-pie" "mom&pop" of June wotsits and the bloke who played "Zorro", were negligible.. "Zac" was Vaudeville.. and the rest were desperately ancilliary.... compared to the "Beat" fo'ment of the "Star Trek" franchise.. it was pawltry.. the 'cardboard & silverfrost" of Dr Who" defeacated on the "Hollywood" production=values of "Lost In Space"....
....and like the "dumb-down" of "THHGTTU" for American consumption... I suspect, a good "text" was transmogrified into a banality that today is truelly "collectible".. in the "Warhole"-sense..

there is an evil side to nostalgia.. Nosti-dumb-arse and Earwig van Dunnycan comes ter mind.... but floatyerboat as yer will, g'luck t'yaz

Jules Verne, H G Wells, Robert Louis Stevenson... some names to be googlin, ...before fallin to the Orwellian "swell"... Azimov, Bradbury..et al

...Arthur C .. ..

.... just get yerself beyond the G.W.Bush reading-list... he never will!!!

....Gulliver's Travels, The Adventures of Alice....Umberto Ecco .. Berger's "Ways of Seeing", ..Chomsky's "Manufactured Consent".. , ..

"Beware Will Robinson.." is chips to gulls, really... "BrandPower" to lab-rat-racers.... like Monty Python quoters..... didn't get the joke, know the shareprice.. 2nd-hand masturbaters..... 100yrs behind Dali, thru the prism of Du Champ.. .. .. but back to "Penny"..
...today I'd be a "paedophile" to recount what then stirred in my loins.....

but at least I remember it, and for what it was...

....not just some tragic "me too" wank.... tick-the-box ... safer-in-numbers ..dare-not-be-different easy way.... trendy follower: that way leads to "flares" .. the lycra bi-cycle continues...

Marc Bolan didn't die in that taxi... his "spirit" just wafted to the inhaling grommets of the snakes-and-ladders set.. (none o them filled his trousers yet).. (ask Alex Downer bout da ladders)

nuff said.. "Lost in Space" was as Britney Spears is to music, family, and intelligence... not a lot. ...at best a vacuous cliche', at worst column-inches!!!

G'nite
