The Dominator 2000

Judge Reinhold behind the 'top of the Dominator series' the 2000. You won't hear your music, you'll feel it!
It reminds me of Dodd being sucked into buying crap speakers by those scammers who drive next to you and make you believe they have a great deal that fell off the back of a truck.
I had to post because no one else was updating their kents, least of all Kebber. Here are a bunch of quotes from movies. What do they have in common?
1. I'm afraid the death star will be fully operational by the time Bag arrives!
2. You wanna get out of here, you talk to Bag.
3. What do you call the Bagshaw on the second moon?
4. Another Bagshaw is on the mesa.
5. I think this Bagshaw should be condemned. There's serious metal fatigue in all the Shaw bearing members, the Bagshaw is substandard,it's completely inadequate for our Bagshaw needs and the Bagshaw is like a deBagshawed Bagshaw.
6. To Bagshaw or not to Bagshaw. Whether 'tis Bagshaw of the Bagshaw to Bagshaw the Bagshaws and Bagshaws of Bagshaw Bagshaw.
7. Agnes of Dodd.

It's a mug's game

I'm constantly amused by cheap-ass Chinese products that copy name brands and then change the name just a little. I rather liked the Muglight because I can just picture a seedy looking character utilizing one of these as he beaks into your house to steal your video.
Other more imaginative titles I've seen were the two copies of the 'Abtronic' which was itself a copy I think. If you don't remember they were the devices that gave your stomach an electric shock to make it convulse and hence exercise for you. Jamie had one of these. I believe it was his secret weapon for washboard abs. Anyway the copies I saw were the 'Body Blonic' and the 'Gymnic Express'. I think Jamie had the Blonic.
If you can remember any rude product names please let us know.

Matsuri season.


It must be the Gee genes that cause the compulsion to climb up sheer surfaces with knobbly lumps attached. Lisa needs a few pointers from Mace but with a little coaching should be ready for the Eiger by next year.
Typical stinkin' ####'n hot day here in Tokyo but I'm on holiday now so I don't care. Just living under the aircon. Went to the local street festival yesterday for the sixth year in a row. I really have to get a life. Pin insisted on wearing a kimono because the need to show off outweighed the need to avoid heat exhaustion. She won 5 goldfish and as predicted most died during the night and got flushed. Our explanation to Lisa involved a convoluted story about their parents coming to take them back to their home pond to continue their education. A goldfish without a university education will encounter a glass ceiling when attempting to obtain a position in management. She bought the story anyway and so we are left with one fish. His job is to keep the diplomatic ties open at this end in case of any future tension in the region.
I give him 3 days.
