- Scariest movie – On a freezing cold night in 1951. my nanny dragged me downtown to the Cleveland Hippodrome theater to sit through the premier of “The Thing from another world”, starring James Arness, as the Giant Monster. The movie was in black and white, and done using all the avancular “horror” techniques, adding to the suspense at every opportunity. Today it losses 95% of it’s shock value on TV. But to a young impressionable mind after sitting through scene after scene, designed to scare the pants off of audiences, when Arness bursts through the door at the end of the hallway I litterily peed myself. Made waddling home, shivering in the cold uncontrollably with wet pants, already scared witless, “interesting”. Years later I can remember seeing Johnny Carsen interviewing Arness on the tonight show, and cracking him up when he introduced him as “The man who got his start playing a giant man eating carrot”.

- Strangest neighborhood “incident” – “The Rabbit that refused to die”. Back one summer awhile ago, some kids that live down the block let their dog get out of the house. It returned a little while later carrying their next door neighbors pet rabbit. Being terrified they’d get into real trouble with their parents they snuk back to her house and slipped the very deceased animal back in its cage on the ladies back porch.

- The next day I was out in the yard watering the lawn and she spotted me and walked over. She said she was freeked out, and I of course asked why. She said “Well I think my rabbit is haunted…. We burried it two days ago when it passed, and this morning the damn thing showed up back in its cage again!”

- I have a belly button. I’ve been told its cute. It’s an “inny”. When I was about six my prankster grandfather told me that your belly button style determined what you would be politically when you grew up. If you were an inny you’d be a Conservative, and if you were an outy you’d probably be a Liberal, since only a nutcase would go around letting their belly buttons stick out. After he filled my young head with things I had no way of understanding he’d finish off by asking me to pull his finger. I do remember, since he made Liberals sound pretty bad, I grew up hoping my belly button never popped out.

Little Known Facts…

I was inspired by a post on Sister Toldjah’s blog titled, “A few things you didn’t know about your blog hostess,” so I wrote my own list of facts that very few people outside of my sister Neddie are even…

Sev, you are right about Hollyweird’s remake of some old classic movies! Sorry lost my head.

Good thing you were in a controlled environment for the decompression.

Jim, I remember vividly the time during altitude chamber training when they put us in the small chamber and did an explosive decompression. 8000 feet to 24,000 feet in about a second. Really an eye opener! Hypoxia comes on a lot faster after this kind of decompression. By the time I had my oxygen mask on and had pulled the green ball to start the emergency oxygen flow, a few seconds, things were starting to gray out.

maybe they should remake some of Hitchcock’s stuff.

Yeah, but it’s hard to imagine anyone doing them better than the master. Hitchcock was an incredible director. The remake of Psycho was terrible. Maybe it’d be better if Hollyweird actually tried to have an original idea rather than retreading the same old stuff over and over.

Sev, you are right about Alfred Hitchcock he had some great movies too I have some them on DVD. Since they (Hollywierd) can’t seem to come up with good plots anymore maybe they should remake some of Hitchcock’s stuff.

Karl, the Northwest is a great place I was born in Tacoma and grew up in Gig Harbor and ended up stationed at McChord AFB, all of my family still lives in the NW. Severian, "the little Cessna read "Empty - Do Not Take Off" in large, friendly letters" there is a clue in there somewhere. Snicker, snicker. I was flying from ATLanta to SEAttle on an L1011 when we lost pressurization in flight and had to drop from 33000ft to 20000ft in seconds and make an emergency landing it ST Louis. I wasn't really nervous at all once we leveled out at 20000ft I just had another JD and Coke thinking if I am going out I am going out happy. I still made that trip once a week (in first class only and sometimes in the cockpit) for four months straight and always on an L1011.
