So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

I like this idea. I'm sure it doesn't have to be that expensive. Someone gimme some. Of course, this idea just looks stupid.

Were those supposed to be the same link, ita?

So which one is the realer deal--Addams Family or The Munsters?

I adored both shows, but I think for "realer deal," Addams Family wins by virtue of the comic. As Scola points out, the show is a crude approximation, but it's a hell of a pedigree.

Still, I loved the Munsters just as much, for the reasons Hec and Theo have pointed out. It had lots to love about it, too.

Hey, when it comes to campy sixties TV sci-fi, I still love Lost in Space, even though it was an unabashed theft of Roddenberry's pitch for Star Trek. He pitched it to CBS before he pitched it to NBC, and the suits at CBS grilled him for hours on his ideas for how to produce a sci-fi TV show on an affordable budget, then showed him the door with a "Don't call us, we'll call you." Shortly after that, Lost in Space came along.

Hey Seany! Wow, I'd never heard that Lost in Space story before. Ah, network bastardry; a fine vintage.

Roddenberry recounted the tale in a book, I believe. MM would probably remember which book. It may have been in Shatner's book about the series years. They all run together after a while.

Hi Pete!

Oh well, at least no one named a space shuttle the Jupiter 2.

You know, somebody should write a crossover where the Jupiter 2 lands on Lost Island....

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

OMG WHY IS THERE STILL LAUNDRY?

I have washed fifteen squillion loads of laundry this weekend, and am seriously considering packing up and moving the whole family to a nudist colony.

The laundry is multiplying. Get out while you still can.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

By the end of the afternoon, I will be caught up on all of my laundry except the sheets currently on my bed and the clothes I am wearing.

Of course, I spilled coffee on my shirt earlier, so it's not going to last long.

Perkins & Jessica, my sistahs in laundry-doing! I did three loads yesterday and should do the same today but probably won't. My lazy, let me show you it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I could do laundry tonight but I will probably put it off until tomorrow.
