I must have missed something - So - how does bending down on one knee before a football game equate to disrespect for the flag??? I don't get it - Wasn't this supposed to be about how "Black Lives Matter"?? Let's get some perspective here, people - Speaking as an old decrepit ex-Marine, it seems to myself that the guy most concerned with tweeting and fuming over this so called "disrespect" never did jack-shit himself to defend the flag! Think about it...

Meanwhile: our calendar this month sort'a - kind'a celebrates the lowbrow layabout crew of the Red Dwarf returning to TV for their 12th series - way to go guys! The series generally features great acting and ingenious scripts filled with some really fun ideas...

If you've never watched the show, it's a sort of a wicked Scifi adventure spoof - the Red Dwarf is the name of the huge JMC-Jupiter Mining Corp space ship, while the crew consists of Dave Lister, chicken soup machine repairman and the last man left alive; Arnold Judas Rimmer, a disagreeable hologram of one of the dead crew; Cat: an evolved felis sapiens; and Kryten, a lavatory cleaning robot...

And so it seems that Io & Callisto, those two green alien bunnies, are getting into the fun, while waiting for the first broadcast on October 12, with a mail–order Ace Rimmer cybernetic boy-toy kit - Some Assembly Required... Erm - It may be a while before they get around to the celebrating part - Good luck, girls...

Additional note: Ace Rimmer is an alternate – universe, heroic, charismatic version of Arnold Rimmer, who is anything but heroic or likable... (which is why he's such a great character)... Where Io & Callisto found this kit version of Ace is anyone's guess, although it is probably a improvident move to order anything from Sirius Cybernetics...

and so - May the Smeg be with you! JQ...
