I've shredded people for less...
Well done :-D
Cheers!
I wouldn’t...
That would be grounds for termination...
Did you ever read the book “The Fire Came By” about the incident in Siberia?
I’ve had it for years....guess it is time to re-read it.
The authors were John Baxter and Thomas Atkins....just went and pulled it off the shelf!
The Fire Came By is great!
I am going to start it again tomorrow. I haven’t read it since the late 70’s. Do you remember if they thought it was a comet in the book?
IIRC, that was a theory they favored, but like you, it’s been years, over a decade surely, since I listened to it.
>>>Pleeease tell me what movie that’s from.
By now you’ve seen the other replies saying it’s “Night of the Comet” and the picture of the cheerleader. She is holding one of the MAC-10s her older sister had obtained to defend against the Comet Zombies. In target practice the MAC-10 jams, and exasperated the cheerleader puts older sister in her place: DAHdee would have got us Uzis !
It’s the delivery of the line that makes it great.
...or was that an alien spacecraft, based on the way it maneuvered in the earth’s atmosphere...
Heck, what’s with the howitzer? My hub takes a moose at 1000+ yards with one shot to the shouler. The moose’s heart goes poof and the moose drops where he stands. Two families eat for a year....
Yea, I’ll brag about my mountainman...
Well yeah, but rifles are soooo every day use.
Now, blowing stuff up with a cannon, that’s holiday type special.
Also, zombies tend to come in large groups in multiple waves. All the best movies say so.
Got it! ; >)
:’) KRONOS published a review of a book (title escapes me, the subtitle was “The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind”) which had as its core claim that what we regard as consciousness began about 3500 years ago.
I liked how the power to the traffic signals was still on at the end of the movie.
(I beleive I used to work right next to where that scene was shot. Walked over that same crosswalk to get lunch many times)
Other than there having been just one ancient, historic eruption of Thera, around 200 BC... ;’)
The Santorini/Thera volcano was about 1626 BC, so it was too early. However, Etna blew a big one at 1500 BC plus or minus 50 years. Personally, I think the pillar of fire by night and smoke by day was volcanic in nature. Note the recent eruption in the Red Sea. A lot more work has to be done on Middle East volcanism, dates, etc.
Wow, did I have a crush on CMS. I didn’t tell Kelli Maroney that. :-P
Although I’ve never been in L.A. (my trip there was rerouted because we were due to arrive there the day after the Rodney King riots 15 years ago), I know a lot of the landmarks. I always remember the Bonaventure from the opening credits of “It’s a Living” (where it was set in the upper-floor restaurant).
