Al Mulford's Ultralight Escape (flying in nice jumpsuits)

MINK says...

what i can't understand is, 18hrs, only 4 votes? Not 60? You people obviously know nothing about jumpsuits, music, or aerial choreography. i'm going to go and read my facebook profile instead so there.

Arrogant alien invades earth. **** Off., 21 December 2000

Don't you just hate people who come to your house un-invited, criticise the decor, break something without offering to pay and then push of without so much as a by-your-leave? Well, the arrogance and pomposity of this ET is beyond belief. Despite the flaunting of superior technology he lacks even basic common sense. He leaves his spaceship surrounded by people pointing guns at him, says nothing, then reaches into his jacket and takes out something that makes a sudden movement resulting in his wounding. What does he expect? But no, of course it's all our fault and he sulks. we were too stupid to realise it was a gift, he laments. Well, excuse ME, Mr Alien entity, but we don't have space ships landing every five minutes and scaring the hell out of us, did you take that into consideration? And that huge robot of yours should respect our customs and wear his underpants INSIDE his trousers, this is a public place. But no, Klaatu is here to tell us our business and arrogantly expects us to organise a conference just the way he wants rather than taking a more diplomatic approach or doing a television broadcast which would be more practical. Finally, he decides to do just that, after much huffing and puffing.

Fortunately for Klaatu, the military are none too bright either when he decides to go walkies around Washington. No one thought to take his picture or show a sketch or photo-fit of him over the TV or newspapers thus allowing him to move into a boarding house where he meets Helen and her son, Bobby. Bobby is a bright kid. After seeing Klaatu go into the space ship at night he comes to the perfectly reasonable conclusion that he's a diamond smuggler. And Helen is an irresponsible mother in allowing him to wander around with a total stranger who could be a child molester or something. I'm sure they get them in outer space too. Meanwhile the military continues it's bungling. Only two men guard the most dangerous object in the world without any other hardware or electronic surveillance and the public seems none too curious, either. Also despite there being soldiers on every street corner, not one of them notices a great big robot stomping along the pavements looking for Klaatu. Could his low opinion of the human race be justified? Possibly. Helen is told to say to Gort: "Klaatu barada nikto." But instead she tells him: "Gort Klaatu Barada Nikto" which isn't the same thing. She was lucky not to get zapped.

Now, I could go on all day (and I usually do) but it has to be said that Klaatu's out of order. He enters American air space without permission, lands an unlicensed vehicle in a municipal park, damages military property, deals in un-authorised currency, obstructs traffic, illegally uses a service elevator, kills two men, damages some deck chairs, knocks down a wall and finally tries evading a taxi fare. Are we meant to be impressed?

In fairness, he does pay a great personal price for his reprehensible behaviour but remains supercilious and lacking in humility to the last. He gives us some fascistic nonsense about a system that crushes any aggression with robots that fly around the galaxy. What is this, dumb and dumber? Can you imagine how many arguments and punch-ups there are amongst billions of inhabitants on a planet PER DAY? Get real. And EXCUSE ME, Mr Silver jumpsuit, but doesn't all human progress rely on aggression and individuality? It's every human's right to start wars, oppress the weak and drive around at dangerous speeds in a jeep while having one hand on a phone. We saw off Communism and we'll see you off too, MISTER Klaatu.

Glen Campbell: Wichita Lineman

choggie says...

Wow! Knowing that bit of lore, still doesn't keep that cheesey feeling from childhood, from creeping up, in a polyester jumpsuit, holding a Spam caserole, with a grocery store soundtrack, piped in gently as background muzak.

Glen was schmaltz, pure and simple, the C&W, Pat Boone!!

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Gil Scott Heron

rembar says...

Definitely a classic:

"You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip...

Because the revolution will not be televised...

The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal...
There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts...

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay...with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion...

The revolution will not be right back after a message
About a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolutions will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.


The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live."

Vietnam vet recalls American torture in 1973 interview

remove says...

Well, in response to Deathcow, I think you're underestimating what terrorists and people in general in the middle east know about what we do.

After allegations of abuse at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib arised, they started dressing in orange jumpsuits like our "detainees" do, in solidarity with them in their propaganda videos. They watch television just like us.
