Secret Sam Commercial-1965

I had this. There was a James Bond spy case which seemed like a real briefcase and then there was SECRET SAM which was more obviously plastic but which came with a REAL camera--my first ever real camera!! Take pictures through the case? Hah! I couldn't take pictures without cutting people's heads off whether it was in the case or out.

Dark and Stormy Night

A brief trailer for my favorite (so far) Larry Blamire film.

Dempsey and Makepeace Theme--Mid-1980's

Although largely unnoticed in the US, I loved this TV series in the eighties and I'm currently watching the episodes again. The actors, Michael Brandon and Glynis Barber, developed a real-life relationship which lead to their getting married when the series ended. In spite of some rough patches, they're still together and open to the concept of a DEMPSEY & MAKEPEACE reunion!

This theme, on the other hand, is perhaps the most generic cop show theme of all time!

Craig Yoe at the Museum of Sex-2011

About halfway through this nearly half hour episode of IFanboy is a nifty interview with Craig Yoe at and regarding the Museum of Sex exhibit he curated. The rest of this webisode is fun, also!

Suzi Quatro--Rock Hard--1980

Suzi Quatro was a proto-punk/glam rocker in the seventies who became a familiar TV face for her guest appearances as "Leather Tuscadero" on HAPPY DAYS. Was watching her this morning as a crazy person on an eighties episode of DEMPSEY & MAKEPEACE and remembered this video!

Fun For Boys-1957

One of these things is not like the other. Fun, dancing, ventriloquism...and lightning ju-jitsu!??

My 20th Wedding Anniversary

Twenty years ago today, I married my best friend...and contrary to the lessons learned from comic book weddings, there was nary a super-villain in sight!
