Thought Screen Helmet Wearers On The Go

Hello, Yes, Is This Gary Busey
Thought Screen Helmet wearers have a new choice to the shut in lives they now lead thanks to the newly designed Though Screen Helmet phone. (Many citizens must wear a thought screen helmet to prevent being abducted by telepathic aliens linked to them)

Manufactured at the secret laboratory of the Grassy Knoll Institute, this new and improved thought screen helmet allows wearers to freely go where no thought screen helmeter has gone before. (With no roaming charges with a two year activation plan)

A new formula comprised of a clear coat velostat polymer allows the helmet to stay cool in the summer and let the sunshine in. It also doubles as a handy phone booth. (Twenty five cents for local calls)

Now In reputable stores where anti alien abduction technology is sold. See us at the Comic Con in San Diego this July.

ABC Lost Secrets Logo


Flashback: September, 22nd, 2004

That night I watched the new ABC network series pilot, Lost, and came away formulating two theories. One was virtual reality and the second theory a new millennium Rod Serling Twilight Zone. I combined the two theories and wrote my first Lost update. Five years later, with one season remaining to Lost, my theory stays constant with nary a variable.

BTW, my LOTGK logo is somewhere in the island sand. Can you spot it?

UFO Over Gatlinburg Tennessee

A disturbance photographed in the Gatlinburg, Tennessee night sky is now being called a UFO. Last night thousands of people witnessed an unidentified flying object hovering above Old Airport Road. The object was brightly lit and pulsated changing colors as it rapidly ascended into the night sky. It seemed to be rotating ever so slowly and from our vantage point, it made absolutely no noise whatsoever. The object stayed in the night sky for over three hours until it's lights went black and it whisked away into the heavens.

Of course the Grassy Knoll Institute rocket scientists were present to capture the UFO on film. Thousands of eyewitnesses claimed to have seen this UFO many times before in almost the exact same position in the night sky.

By using the moon, (The object in the upper left hand corner of the photograph) a comparative size can be ascertained. Upon initial investigation, it has been determined that the object is at least 100 feet round and can easily hold 100 people. Perhaps this is some sort of transport alien ship that culls and herds us humans away for experimentation and sexual tests.

The Grassy Knoll Institute will continue it's investigation.

Christmas In July Leg Lamp

leg-lamp-from-a-christmas-story
Christmas In July
At the March Las Vegas ASD show, I happened upon a booth selling the infamous "Leg Lamp," from the classic movie, A Christmas Story. I had to have the Leg lamp. After a small negotiation, I bought two of them, one the full sized one pictured here and a 24 inch lamp that is in my office.

The Leg Lamp pictured is 40 inches tall, and to my knowledge, is an exact replica of the one featured in the movie right down to the fishnet stockings, fancy strings hanging from the shade, and I believe I detected just a whiff of ozone when I plugged it into the wall outlet.

It was Electric Sex at it's finest. And yes, it will be displayed in our upstairs window at Christmas.

Jump In Jack’s Chicken Shack

Jump In Jacks Chicken Shack
Jump In Jacks Chicken Shack
Patty and I decided to dine at Jump In Jacks, a local restaurant here in Boardman, Ohio. They have really tasty fried chicken. Sadly, this would be the last supper as the the Chicken Shack closed just the other day. Something about the liquor license and the lease. I was a little leary (Not the Denis type) seeing that there were only about a half dozen patrons in the restaurant, but we were there, and we were hungry.
Jump In Salad Minus Cheese
The waitress came out right away and sat us down and took our drink order. I had a diet Coke. A few minutes later we ordered. My salad arrived in mere minutes, and it was adequate, but there was no cheese. No worry. But no cheese.
Jojo Fries Loaded Bacon And Cheese
Jojo Fries Loaded Bacon And Cheese
Our appetizer was loaded potato wedges. This is what we got instead. Jojo wedges with cheese melted on top with a sliver of bacon. Seriously, jojo fries with cheese.
Jump In Jacks Chicken Parm
Jump In Jacks Chicken Parm
The main course was chicken parmigiana and a side of penne pasta in tomato sauce. The penne was adequate, the sauce was good, the chicken part, not so much. The breaded chicken was rubbery, and fatty, a combination not desired for your food. I will say it was edible, just barely, (I was hungry mind you) and the penne saved the meal.

The service was OK, not good, just OK. The waitress never came to check on us, (Not like she was busy with six people in the whole joint) never refilled my diet Coke, never brought any bread or rolls to our table. Perhaps she knew she was getting canned the next week.

The cost was reasonable, $7.50 for the entree, $6.00 for the wedges, $1.50 for the diet coke. The salad came with the entree. Total was $15 not including tip.

The Grassy Knoll Diner scores 2 out of 5 shots and DOES NOT recommend Jumpin Jack's Chicken shack for dinner. Not that it matters anymore, the joint is closed.

Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks Vinyl Album
Late in 1971, a greatest hits double album of the Rolling Stones was released in the United States. It was titled, The Rolling Stones, Hot Rocks 1964-1971. It became one of the best selling selling albums not just for the Stones, but for all rock albums. And this was an album the Stones didn't want released.

The album cover depicts a profile of Mick Jagger expanding to the borders of the album. No other hint on the title of the record or the band name.

The inside right cover is a compilation of the band members of the Stones. The original members were Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood. Jones died July of 1969.
Rolling Stones Hot Rocks Back Cover Art

The back cover has the band members set against a wall of a castle. At first glance, one would think they were dressed in Medieval attire. But look again. That is how they dressed in the 60's. I believe this is where Austin Powers got his English look.

The front sleeve did more than just protect the vinyl, it advertised the record labels current albums in their stable.

Big Brother Begins Watching TV Today

Big brother Is Watching TV
Big brother Is Watching TV
On June 12th, in the year of our Lord 2009, the United States will cease transmission of analog TV signals making the old style rabbit ear antenna TV sets obsolete. To continue viewing your television set, you must either have a new TV with a digital tuner or for those with older sets, invest in a converter box sanctioned by the government to receive broadcasts. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING!

The Grassy Knoll Institutes believes much more is at stake. Why would the government, strapped for cash, issue rebates for the cost of the converters to the millions of households that require one? Because the government wants something from us. The government has an ulterior motive.

The analog to digital conversion is merely a guise to allow the government easy access to the privacy of almost every American home, apartment, business, and social establishment. Beginning at midnight tonight, the converter boxes will begin emitting a signal allowing viewers to watch their sets. The converter also has another purpose. It doubles as a listening device permitting the government to secretly eavesdrop on your family conversations in the privacy of your own home.

Don't think that's possible? Don't think it will happen? Think again! It's happening already. Take notice of the camera's installed on city street corners monitoring city traffic and citizen movement. Did you ever get a speeding ticket in the mail? From a speed camera trained on the highway snapping a photo of you behind the wheel along with your license plate? Did you ever wonder how your GPS map locater works? How it can pinpoint an exact address or location from thousands of miles away? Or government employee's monitoring your every keystroke on your computer to ensure you aren't planning to blow up a building? Or how the TV networks know how many people really watched one of their programs? The TV digital converter is merely the next step of Big Brother usurping even more freedom and enacting more control over it's citizens.

I will leave you with a warning from a 1960's television science fiction series,
The Outer Limits. It now seems prophetic.

There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits.

Stop Alien Abductions Telethon

I...Can...Help...You
This Sunday the Stop Alien Abductions Foundation will be airing a 24 hour telethon to highten awareness of the many sufferers who must wear thought screen helmets to prevent further alien abduction. The foundations goal is to raise awareness of a race of telepathic aliens set on world domination by controlling the thoughts of our political leaders and public figures. Check local listings for the TV channel in your area.

Special celebrity guest star Gary Busey will speak about his private battles with the little green alien bastards and how he beat them with sticks until they fled plus the several that he captured and now dines on regularly. Mister Gary Busey was overheard saying that he is not afraid of those pussy aliens and that he would eat the bastards like they were on the menu at an all you can eat IHOP restaurant. Join him for supper. It's a hoot. I can hear him now saying the word "Outstanding" just the way he pronounced it in his hit movie, Under Siege.
