Sidekicks
What was the deal with animal sidekicks back in the day?
Clyde here.
BJ and his chimp Bear.
Maybe that dog that was in that one movie with Tom Hanks.
Lassie and maybe Benji, to a lesser degree.
I am thinking a Clyde costume will be my default for Halloween, going forward. Mainly so I have an excuse for punching people for being twats. Just need a sidekick, for my sidekick costume, that says "Right turn." at appropriate moments.
Yeah, I just did a sidekick role reversal, right there. I am self-centered.
Also, where do you land Chewbaca in this sidekick conversation, for you?
Mel Brooks reduced him to a talking dog in Space Balls, but he sorta had his shit together in the movies in spite of only being able to yell three sounds to communicate. Do you think of Chewbaca as Hans Solo's smart, hairy pet or as his own fully developed persona?
I mean he blasted bad guys with some lazer-crossbow thing and fixed spaceships...
Fixed spaceships.
Like a goddamned rocket scientist.
I need some more coffee...

Sensuous Steel

Huh...
Been wondering what some Nashville buzz was about, lately.
(I mean beyond general chatter about how great my kin folk are.)
There is Sensuous Steel show there, at the moment...
So if you are there, go look at this stuff.
This Delahaye, for example, I eyeballed a red cousin of this at the Blackhawk Museum for a good thirty minutes, at least. They are gorgeous.
They have Edsel Ford's personal, project speedster/special, which has a tiny shrine built around it - in one corner of my addled brain.
And there is some other stuff, that is also extra special but I will gloss over...
It's at the Frist, whatever that is, for a couple more weeks.

No Place to Go
I really have no need for something like this...
No real destination in mind that would require this sorta rig.
But I am pretty sure if I had this kinda off roading micro camper, I could come up with something.
