SunlitZelkova Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 8 hours ago, Capt. Hunt said: Bye Bob! For those that don’t know, this is a reference to the Apple TV+ drama For All Mankind, in which the characters in S1 are left with only tapes of The Bob Newhart Show to watch when a Saturn V explodes and they get stranded on the Moon for a couple months longer than anticipated. They have a rule where they all have to say “Hi Bob!” whenever one person says it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrandedonEarth Posted August 13 Author Share Posted August 13 The mighty Martin Mars water bomber, Hawaii Mars, has completed its last flight. Her sister aircraft, Philippine Mars, will make its final flight to the Pima Air and Space museum later this year. May they rust, er, rest in peace, not pieces.

I remember seeing a Smithsonian Channel documentary about them when I was little. I built a boxy mini version of it out of spare Legos from pick a brick. I was lucky to have the exact number of red and white pieces needed, and I had a lot of fun playing with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSaint Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Apparently I haven't been paying attention lately. I have three to report: Peter Marshall passed away today. My dad loved Hollywood Squares. I think a large part of my sense of humor originated from listening to Paul Lynde's sarcastic answers on that show. But Peter Marshall was the solid center, the rock that anchored us in the midst of the madness. His soothing voice was a memorable part of my childhood. Wally Amos, the man who created the Famous Amos cookie brand, passed away on Tuesday. If you've never heard his story, it is the classic tale of someone who had more marketing skill than business savvy. Greg Kihn, of The Greg Kihn Band, also passed on Tuesday. He wasn't quite a One-Hit-Wonder. But he did pump out a respectable body of work in the 1980s. Okay, @StrandedonEarth, you're gonna have to pick your favorite here.

SunlitZelkova Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I never really knew him as Darth Vader, it wasn’t until just a few years ago I found out he played him. I always remember him as the SAC general aboard the Looking Glass in By Dawn’s Early Light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
