Flippin' eck, and here's me having spent half the day ensnared in the clutches of that tv.cream thing that Rodddd (a bad influence on _this_ cartoon nostalgic at the least) posted the URL for, and looking for stuff on G-Force (or Gatchaman, as I have learnt the original version was called, or Battle of the Planets as _another_ alternate identity) at the very moment when this email arrived.
Oh...."Battle Of The Planets" was the best thing ever...I remember being about 8, and this girl, Kelly Mulkey, getting a BOTP lunchbox...I was soooo jealous I plotted her death....(never did it tho...my mother promised me a Monkees lunch box if I spared her life...) Anyway...I found a lunchbox way cooler than hers (about a month ago here in LA)....It just has Mark on the front...the people at the store didn't even know what it was..they thought it was Speed Racer. Score! I've got some original Gatchaman videos as well as the tamed down American translation that became Battle of The Planets. The new series makes me ashamed to breathe air. They're all hip hopped out and 90's-fied. Yuk. OH ...speaking of the 70's...not sure if Brits ever had any of this....but over the weekend I met the creators of HR Pufinstuf, The Land Of the Lost, The Bugaloos, The Banana Splits....etc.....they complimented me on my Tinky Winky backpack, and said they wish they would have done something like that....*sigh* It was cool to meet and converse with the men who made the monster... grrrrrrrrr beth ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

g-forceps; last halloween me and my friends went to a party dressed up as. we took it all quite seriously i was wiry keyop, but chrispy kelly looked best in his amazin' outfit as the red feller. he even had a little tear painted on his cheek from when we discover that he is actually, in fact, MARK'S DAD. wee michael who was dressed as mark didn't actually get to the party as he had spent so much energy on visiting charity shops that he went to sleep. as jason, darri was wearing a customized maroon outfit typical of a young indian female i think. most of us had our pants over our trousers and beaks made out of coloured acetate. i like the episode where all the sugar in the world is gettin' stolen and at the end tiny would rather stay and stuff his fat face than escape. ulysses? did the song have the line "like a probe upon a ball of glue" or is that just me? also, was i watching some version of children's bbc that only royston (?) gets, or was there a mascot called "bobby the banana"? please help. no one else believes me not kid's classics now, natalie merchant's (ex-10,000 maniacs) album "ophelia" is out this week in uk which was a lovely surprise for me as all i knew about it was an ickle ad in nme. any body else love that warm voice 'nd engulfing songs? new album is easy to get into and the updated elektra site is quite classy, there's a great story/film/book/limited edition plate involved there (you'll see what i mean, lot's of fancy dress too). she's doing a huge tour of the states but i'm just sad that she only ever comes to uk once in a blue monkey moon. mail me if anyone wants to discuss her greatness. auwar, kate xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
