yeah, but can she make me a sammich???
Them freakin Japanese are a pervy bunch. “Hentai” is their term I think. Rubber sex dolls and tentacle porn. And upskirts on schoolgirls who have to dress as 19th sailors but in mini-skirts. Nipple bleach for “purity”. That be some serious kinky freak-ass shizz goin down in Japan. It tells me that their culture is insanely sexually repressed. And now we hear stories how the younger generation isn’t even interested in dating, much less marriage and breeding. And the population continues to fall in workaholic Japan, leaving a top-heavy society of old folks with nobody left to support them all.
19th century sailors I meant. Sailor Moon isn’t really adventure Manga for girls, it’s wanker fodder for older pervs over there. They are a strange bunch IMO.
Well, even with your points well taken and I’d say on the money, there is another side beyond the pervs you mention.
To be sure there those types who command the attention of those many yrs younger and some older ones as well. Of course it isn’t natural and that makes it weird to say the least. But I also see another side. Truly lost souls, their youth well behind them along with good health and the ability to attract the opposite sex long gone. But age does not mean that they have lost the basic human need and dare I suggest it, the desire that drives them to this extreme. There really is something beyond the perverted and the “dirty old man” image this brings to mind.
These ARE the droids we’re looking for.
Recreationalizing sex - and people wonder why the World is going to hell in a handbasket. It is also just another example of men demeaning women to the point of even a plastic one is ok for me. [Damn where did that touch of feminazism come from]
Pervy bunch is right on the mark, Drew.
Are you sure you have the correct Twilight Zone show? In “On Thursday We Leave for Home”, is about a tyrannical Cpt. Benteen and his crew of pilgrims who were looking for a better way of life from earth, who have been marooned on a desert-like planet for 30 years, and when they finally get rescued, he refuses to accept that his people will leave and not want to stay under his command and governship. That he is their divine leader and he refuses to allow them to leave and become individuals. He thinks them all like children and would die without his leadership. (Kinda like obama thinks today).
So, I don’t get the relationship of the James Whitmore character and this story. Maybe it is another episode?
Sdkar ... Sorry. I thought that was the episode. Did from memory which is apparently faulty.
Will look up.Maybe the Twilight Zone episode where a guy is imprisoned alone on an asteroid, and sympathetic captain on the supply run brings him a female robot for companionship. In typical T-Zone fashion, the prisoner falls in love with the robot, then is crushed when a regime change at home ends his sentence, but weight restrictions won’t allow him to take the robot home.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734656/Jim ... Thanks much. Yes. That’s the one. And why I thought Whitmore is a puzzle as it was Jack Warden and James Dehner. Anyway ... I see that happening somewhere in the future. At the rate tech is moving .... It could happen ???
peiper: even today’s tech would make that episode obsolete. They could have copied the robot’s brain into a flash drive and installed it into a new robot body when they got back to Earth.
Dehner has one of those distinctive voices great for radio. (I’m a big collector of old radio shows.) Dehner was Paladin on the radio “Have Gun Will Travel"… and shows up everywhere.Jim ... I once was a very major collector of old radio, having grown up at the tail end of things. I had reels and reels of shows, joined up with an organization in Ct. and met ppl I never thought to ever see and speak to from the old days. Like Raymond Edward Johnson from The Inner Sanctum. What a voice and delivery. I interviewed William Spear of Suspense at his home. His wife was still beautiful and was a well known actress. June Havoc. She was much prettier than the photo I saw on line. Anyway ... both were just beautiful ppl. Wm. Spear btw, gave Orson Wells his first radio job.
I have somewhere between here and Nashville, a reel to reel tape I’d love to get back. It was a Gunsmoke radio rehearsal. the tape was running when somehow somebody goofed and a car horn was played. Or something totally out of place for the period. Well, the actors kept right on going and I never heard anything so funny as they all started to ad lib some very funny stuff. Hard to image that short very stout actor whose name I have unforgivably forgotten, as Marshall Matt Dillon. But that was the magic of radio.
And oh yeah ... I produced a four hour special called The Golden Years of Radio, for Al Collins at KFI, LA. Man, them were the days.
Got it, William Conrad was Marshall Dillon on radio. I spoke to him when I was lining up ppl from radio days for the KFI special. Gee. How the hell could I have forgotten his name?
Wardmom ... don’t understand how it can be any more demeaning for women, then for a male so lonely and desperate that he’d spend thousands of dollars on one of these.
It doesn’t demean women or at least I don’t believe it’s intended to do that. For straight males .... there just isn’t any replacement for female company. Well, not a normal replacement anyway.
I’m afraid to get clinical here but there are points with regard to male nature and needs you may not be considering. It’s alright I suppose for you to say , well the heck with male needs, not having ever experienced it from our side. Any more than I could possibly understand what childbirth feels like. Heck Wardmom, I don’t even know what it’s like to walk around in high heels, nor do I want the experience. I do not know how women do it btw.
If there weren’t a need for these sorts of things, they would not exist. And very sadly, for some, perhaps many, this is all there is for them. How sad if ya think about it.Wow.... my biggest brush with fame was talking to Walter Koenig on the phone.
Any chance of finding that KFI special online?Jim ... Kinda doubt it. I’d be surprised.
I once had a copy made from air check that was recorded on one of KFI’s huge reel to reels, as they were back then. It would never fit on or play on a home reel player. And was also recorded as a super slow speed, again, a speed not provided on home machines.
Al (Jazzbeaux) Collins even did the broadcast from the old KFI theater inside the bldg. All those empty seats, it was spooky.Too bad.... although these days, with computers as powerful as they are, you could play it back at whatever speed you could then process the digitized file to play at the correct speed. We sometimes do this to mp3 files over at the Cobalt Club if they’re recorded off-speed. I sometimes mention it to my Dad when he brings up the old 16RPM talking book records he’s seen.
Jim, Yeah. Maybe. But have you ever seen the size of a radio station air check reel?
Maybe if it were done at the station assuming they still used those reels for some reason.
They were very big at KFI. No way to fit my home machine. I think (not sure anymore) the reels are in Gallatin,Tn. Sent there to store with close friend when we moved here. Never thought at the time, that we’d still be here after all these years. Do miss home, must say.
