Psychocrystal
I love this. It appears (along with a number of other tunes) in the Galaxy Rangers episode, “The Battle of the Bandits.”
Rejected Signs
I was asked to design some signs with a “Spring Cleaning” theme for a record sale we are having at work. Several of the signs I did got rejected.
One of the librarians didn’t understand what this one had to do with Brahms. In all honesty, nothing. I just liked the idea of a man with a fez washing bird crap off his car.
Galaxy Rangers – “The Goose Clip”
Galaxy Rangers was a wild-west space cartoon that ran in the mid- to late-80s in the US. A US-created cartoon, its anime-styling, steampunk tendencies and gritty storylines make it one well worth checking out. The series is to get a nice repackaging this coming May1.
Now more in keeping with the usual bunk we post here on Protozoic, I give you the following clip from the “Heart of Tarkon” episode. Whatever is actually occurring here, it seems to me the writers missed a good joke of not having the incident occur to the character Shane Gooseman (the character to whom it happens in the clip is Walter “Doc” Hartford).
- Currently only 4 DVDs, containing 16 of the 65 total shows, are available. If you are really keen to get watching some Galaxy Rangers, you can get them from Netflix. ↩
Advertisement 2
As the ad implores, “Look.”
Advertisements
The following advertisements are from a Life Magazine that was withdrawn from the library. I don’t know what the exact issue is, because the front page was removed.
The individual ads appealed to me for different reasons.
I’m not saying why though.
I have some more ads I’ll be posting in the next couple days.

Gary Gygax
I know everyone who contributes to Protozoic already knows that Gary Gygax died today (they all forwarded me emails). Nonetheless, I wanted to do a brief posting here in the Mindlab. There’s no gauging how much the man influenced my life.
Here are two links Peter forwarded me.
From Elias:
Slate… can’t please em’ all.
From Tim:
The Bilge Song
(a hyperlinked sea chanty)
Verse 1:
In the bilge of the boat
‘Neath the billows and waves
Sleeps the bilgy-man’s boatswain
Witta biscuit he craves.
Chorus (sung after every verse):
So HUP! the ol’ hanker
Han’ furl patchy sail out.
Th’ scull’ry-mun’s cookin’
Han soon there’ll be shall-out (shallot)!
Verse 2 (Nanook’s solo):
A’ the snewy narth pool
Ware the snew people liv
Thay etts blubbery sausages
Caught wit ‘are shivvs!
Crayfish
(a haiku)
Hands in cool water
snatch brown armor, red tipped claws.
Pail full, wet trek home.
