[dbminter]

Someone with a gun, please, please, please get the real Slim Shady to please stand up... and shoot that fucker right through the head before can do this!

[dbminter]

Yeah, I typoed his name in the Subject. Big deal. He deserves it.

[Groundrush]

not a fan then db...?

[dbminter]

Let me put it this way. I'd rather read a back issue of Plop!

[polopony]

he's no Richard Boone

[lfcrule1972]

I reckon it might be ok - don't know what the fuck you are talking about as a program (never seen it) but I think he can at least act......

[polopony]

LFC its an old Western from !957 Richard Boone played the lead character Paladin a gun for hire .It ran for 6 years and was pretty good if you like westerns

[dbminter]

I don't like Westerns, and, I liked it. It was also on radio, one of those cases where a different actor took the role on TV. Because a guy with a great voice doesn't necessarily make a leading man, e.g. how William Conrad lost the lead on Gunsmoke. Who wants a short, fat sheriff?

[lfcrule1972]

Thanks polo So what is this "plop" that db would rather read ??

[dbminter]

I didn't think anyone would know. Plop was the name of a DC comic series from the middle 1970's. It was much in the vein of the work of Robert Crumb.

[polopony]

my comic book reading was the standards Superman,Batman .etc when DC comics were a dime .Then there was the Furry Freak Brothers comics ,havent seen one in 20 years ,strange stuff

[dbminter]

Oh, yes, that Rip Off Press series! Yeah, definitely in the post Crumb sensibility of indepenent books. Today, though, furry freak used for comics means an entirely different genre to some people... e.g. Genus.
