Land Of The Lost - Chaka

While I'm on the subject of making myself feel kind of old, reminiscing about all the old shows I used to watch growing up - one of my all-time favorites was the Land of the Lost. You know, Marshall, Will & Holly, on a routine expedition.


I always secretly wished I was Holly except for when those crazy ass Sleestack things came hissing and moaning around and scaring the bejeezus out of me. There was one episode that scared me so bad that I can remember it to this day. It was an episode where there was this shiny, sparkly man. He was, like, made out of coins. How freaky. Who thinks up crap like that?

But anyway, onto this burning question that has bothered me to this day...who the hell was Chaka?

But Chaka was some guy named Philip Paley - some martial arts, hong kong phooey dude.


This is an example of useless crap that sometimes keeps me up at night.

2008 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony

So did y'all watch the opening ceremony night before last? It was amazing. I have never watched the opening ceremony before in my life, so I don't have anything to compare this one to - but for some odd reason, I think China outdid them all.

I have to say I totally disliked USA's outfits. Is anybody with me on that? What the hell were they thinking wearing freakin' berets?

I would have really liked to have seen this (preferably without the jacket and without that fluff thingy and with a looser fitting top):

Or this:

But who am I to judge? I just about wear the same crap every day.
