Rod Serling and Jim Stringer
Rod Serling and Jim Stringer have something in common. Dig: A lost Rod Serling interview was recently posted on youtube. The company that shot it? Centron . What's the deal with Centron? Centron was an industrial film company run by Herk Harvey. And Herk shot a low budget movie called Carnival of Souls, which is awesome. It would have totally fit in as a Twilight Zone episode.
So what's the Jim Stinger connection? Well, in the 70s, Jim worked for Centron, acting a bit and writing music. His most notable song was "Shake Hands With Danger", which is and awesome piece of music.
Here's the lost Serling interview:
Here's an interview I conducted with Jim Stringer, mostly about his Centron years (with a little gee-tar playing mixed in).
And if you've not seen "Shake Hands With Danger", make sure you check that one out as well. The music is what makes it:

Trucks smashing into bridge
A fellow by the name of Jürgen Henn has put together a website and a youtube channel of trucks smashing into a particular bridge in Durham, North Carolina. Pretty fun stuff. Who doesn't enjoy watching trucks smash into bridges, right?
The bridge is locate right here:

Free Willy: Killer Whale
Free Willy as a horror flick. Nice. I would totally check that movie out. On the SyFy network. 'Cause you know that's where it would play.
Illustrated 007
Here's a blog that is dedicated to the artwork of James Bond. Movie posters, book covers, storyboards, you name it. As long as it's James Bond artwork, this guy's talking about it.
double dutch bus
Totally weird. I remember a time when my friends and I were really into this song. And then, just like that, I forgot all about it. Totally and completely forgot about it. And then, when I saw this today, a flood of memories came rushing back. I wonder what else I've forgotten.
It's 'bout darned time...
FINALLY. Geez.
Kool-Aid!
I like Kool-Aid . It's cheap and tasty. My recipe? A 1/4 cup of sugar instead of a whole cup. Tart and delicious.
I'd been saving Kool-Aid points for quite a while, so when I heard that Kool-Aid was doing away with it's point system, I was dismayed. However, I heard that I still had time to cash 'em in. I had until June 30 2010 to make it happen. Oh, and it had to be in their hands by that date. Of course, I knew this information for about three months but I waited until the last possible minute to get it all done. First, I got the forms online.
Next, I waited until Monday June 28th to get everything together. Yeah. I'm a last minute kind of guy. I figured that if I got all the points together and mailed it express it oughta be there by the due date.
First, I got all my old Kool-Aid packages out and began cutting away.
I had some pretty old Kool-Aid packages, a few "classics" they don't make anymore. Some of 'em are older package designs. Why was I saving them? I don't know. I collect junk, I guess.
Here's a sample of the different styles of Kool-Aid points I had. A couple of pics are a little blurry. Oops.
I had enough points for two Kool-Aid packet holders and one pitcher. The cost was $5.25 for shipping and handling. I got all the points together, filled out the form and put it all in an envelope. Ready to go!
Next up, Brandi and I headed to the post office. This was after 11 pm, by the way. Like I said. Last minute. Now, here's the part that was infuriating. Since the address to the Kool-Aid point redemption center was a P.O. box, USPS couldn't guarantee that the package would get there by the 30th. Physical address, no problem. P.O. box, problem. We split over to FedEx Kinko's, but FedEx doesn't deliver to P.O. boxes at all. I decided to just send it off and hope like hell that the Kool-Aid man would get the points and give me my prizes.A few weeks later, I got two Kool-Aid packet holders! Huzzah!
Where's my Kool-Aid pitcher? I dunno. The sent me a sticker that says it's on back order. Maybe I'll get it, maybe I won't.
So, for years of saving points, I got two Kool-Aid holders, maybe a Kool-Aid pitcher at some point and Kool-Aid stained fingers.
Oh, and lots and lots of tasty Kool-Aid!
