Robert, let me know what you think. I'm feeling a burst of Nostalgia coming over me. I will have to find these old shows and watch some of them. Right after I get done with Space 1999. lol



Rhino has released some of the shows on DVD. The later ones also have the bad movies on them (without the MST3K treatment).

This was something you either loved or hated. Didn't seem to be much lukewarm attitude about... of course, i'm inclined to believe anyone who frequents The Thread would be inclined to like it.

Definitely the show was imbued with Thread like qualities. Clearly the prophet Joel was foretelling the coming and the goodness of the Thread.

1998 DARWIN AWARDS

AND THE WINNER: PADERBORN, GERMANY - Overzealous zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt fed his constipated elephant Stefan 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally let fly - and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds of poop! Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive-oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded on him like a dump truck full of mud. "The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground, where he struck his head on a rock and lay unconscious as the elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of him," said flabbergasted Paderborn police detective Erik Dern. "With no one there to help him, he lay under all that dung for at least an hour before a watchman came along, and during that time he suffocated. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents.

Yeah, either that or the photographer cared more about getting a cool picture rather than saving the poor soul's life.

Fake no doubt, since they didn't find the guy for an hour, and you know that heffalump didn't hang around in that position.

He was likely off singing and dancing.......

Status: offline 		I usually won't even look at TV commercials, but there's actually a rather fun one running at the moment.

It's for Axe's new deodorant "Click", and features Ben Affleck walking around town with one of those little hand-held counting machines, adding one everytime somebody flirts with him. Then he gets on the elevator in his building and shows the lift attendant his count of 103, as if to say "that's not too bad".

Then the lift attendant (a scrawny little definitely not moviestar type) shows HIS counting machine, and the count of 2,437, the obvious result of using the new Axe deodorant. It's a very blatant case of falsehood in advertising, but I laughed out loud when I saw it the first time.

right - that's what i figured too. If i had ACTUALLY thought it was a real photo, i wouldn't have posted it.

However, i'll admit when i saw this, i thought the whole story was a fake...

One of my favorite Darwin awards stories, which I strongly suspect is untrue, was the Airman who "appropriated" a spare jet engine and welded it to the top of his car - this was at an airbase in the desert southwest. Apparently the airman thought he would break some speed records. He rigged a basic on switch on his dashboard and after getting the car going under its normal power ignited the engine. The Sheriffs report said that when they arrived at the highway where the airman tested the engine they found 1/4 mile long skid marks continuing straight over a cliff, where they highway turned. When they checked the bottom of the cliff they found what was left of the vehicle. The driver was mysteriously gone. Believe it or Not.
