Rest In Power: Sid Krofft

In Memory Of Sid Krofft

Sid Krofft April 9, 1937 - November 25, 2023 Rest In Power.

Like many of you out there Sid & Marty Krofft shows were an integral part of my childhood. 

I couldn't wait to watch them every Saturday Morning! While there were many such as Land Of The Lost, The Banana Splits etc... My personal favorite was H.R. Pufnstuf. 

Most likely because it happened on a magical island with a crazy witch, named Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo. "Yes" I loved witches when I was growing up (still do for that matter) 

Whatever your favorite, Sid Krofft and his brother really impacted every child of a certain generation. Hey, I followed him on Instagram that's how much his shows meant to me!

His legacy will live forever.

Tis The Season (I Guess)

The Bloc

With some reluctance I am going to kick off posting about Christmas today. After all since retailers have been shoving it down our throats since October...resistance is futile.

Last week I went to The Bloc shopping center DTLA (Downtown Los Angeles) which houses the Alamo Drafthouse theatres to see Saltburn (loved it!) 

Hence when exiting the film to the retail haven that awaits you beyond it's barrier I took this photo of the Holiday Vibe going on there.

This was two days prior to Thanksgiving that all the halls there were decked. While I think they do an amazing job at making the decor match the their particular groove there, I wished they could have waited until Thanksgiving was over for Santa's Sake!

Post Thanksgiving Wisdom

Regan MacNeil

I've noticed I've been posting a lot memes containing social commentary of late. Well here is something that I'm sure we all practiced yesterday, it being Thanksgiving and all, and should continue to do so.

"Live, Laugh Love" starring the darling possessed version of Regan (Linda Blair) straight outta The Exorcist. 

Hey, demonic possession is in vogue with the recent sequel to The Exorcist hitting theaters recently in October.

Using her for this particular staple of uplifting sayings is quite inspired if you ask me.

Seriously who knows how to "Live, Laugh, Love" better than a centuries old demon.

Hump Day & Chill

Chelsea Handler

Today let's Hump Day & Chill to these sage words from Chelsea Handler. Being it is the day before Thanksgiving I felt this may be something many of us do, and or, need to hear.

"Yes" you heard me Minions some of you are not self aware enough out there to know this is about you. So stop being so vain and step it up and start engaging in this practice. Trust me it will make yours and others Thanksgiving (and other Holidays included) much more "Peachy Keen."

And isn't "Peachy Keen" something we should all aspire to? I believe in the power of this message.

So before you gobble, gobble take some Hump Day & Chill time to, well you know, do what Chelsea says.

Your family will Thank You, instead of wishing YOU had been served with stuffing!
