Ugh. I’m going to keep this short because I’ve spent the last five hours chained to my computer, working on the grant I mentioned earlier.
My friend Charles, who guest-blogged while I was in Miami, will be coming to visit in a couple weeks. I’m looking forward to a week of pizza, late-night gaming, and just hanging out. And he’s also bringing his collection of MST3K DVDs, which should provide some amusement. A few years ago, when I was in the hospital recovering from pneumonia, Charles brought a tape of one of the episodes (I think it was Space Children). We started watching it and during the absolutely hilarious Jackie Coogan skit, I began to laugh so hard that the attending nurse thought I was having a seizure.
Bummer, no Daleks in the new Dr. Who. So much for my Halloween costume idea of taping a plunger to my forehead, encasing my chair in an aluminum barrel, and wandering the floors of my building yelling “Exterminate! Exterminate!” I still might do it, even if only two people in the whole neighborhood get the reference.
While watching Dr Who, I have often suspected that disabled people in electric wheelchairs were under those daleks, being some of the first disabled people hired to TV. Woo, gotta start somewhere…
oh, dude, you totally have to dress up as a dalek anyway. lots of people will get it.
ok, only two, but it’ll be SO worth it just for those two.
It was Space Children, and it was Crow’s rendering of Jackie Coogan in a “banana warmer”. I’ll make sure to bring that one and see if it causes you to stop breathing again.
However that may affect you now that you’d be anticipating it, I’m sure the climax of “Cave Dwellers” will finish you off nonetheless.

I think this is a serious issue, have you considered. Sports betting for some fun.
