      Four members of  Ohta family and the old man's secretary, 5 dead in all. Oct 19. 1970. One of the many nuts in Santa Cruz in that era, like Herbert Mullin and Ed Kemper. The golden age of serial killers/mass murderers...so to speak

ah... the golden age

totally typed it then reread it... so lets go with the classical age... something about the early 70's tho... nucky has some good points... seems like it was a time when psychology wasnt so up to date as well as law enforcement and information sharing among agencies... these days it's like what the fuck am i supposed to do when i behead my ex and post that shit on youtube... fuck the feds are at the door already?... ok then Ill film this shit

Richard Trenton Chase completes the triumvirate. I'm sure that he would be on Team Edward if he was alive to see the "Twilight" franchise. There must have been something in California's water back then. Come to think of it, many of these guys lived and/or worked close to large bodies of water.

           Pity Chase had to go off himself on Boxing Day, 1980. He would have been an ideal C2C guest. He cannibalized a baby(Noory salivates) and saw Nazis in his soup. There's two C2C stand by subjects.

         I liked to antagonize a former professor of mine, who adored Reagan, by mentioning that mass murder madness in California really took off and hit it's peak between 1967-75. Oh yeah, who was the governor, then?

          Had I been drafted in 1968, this is how I would have showed up into the induction center. Though I still think "Project 100,000" would have accepted me.

They tried to draft me in 1968.  You would not have looked unusual - it was common to try to look unusual or gay to get out of the draft.  By 1968, the induction center folks were ignoring the weirdos, I suppose figuring they'd all look alike when shaved and shorn during boot camp.  The only guy I knew who escaped the draft through weirdness was the organ player in an Atlanta band who filled his foot with novocaine and dropped a large quantity of concrete blocks on said foot.  I don't believe he has ever walked normally again.

awesome

I knew one person that showed up at a draft physical smeared head to toe with shit.I knew two others that drank carrotjuice and wentthrough about 100 pounds of carrots till they were pemiated with carotine and were rejected for jaundice.

The first draft physical I went to in 1966 they had us in a big room together and a Chief (navy base) came in and started by yelling out 'disorders' medical,pychological and assumed. He got to Homosexual and about 6 guys got up ad left with him.They were gone from site and don't know the story of their day from that point.Jacksonville was notorious for passing more unfit people in that later had to be discharged as unfit than any center in the US.
I went 3 separate times as I was recovering from a auto accident. The first time I went was about 20 days after I was throw through a windshield that for some reason was plate glass and not safty plate glass.It was an English Ford Anglia ,same model that was i the 'Harry Potter' films.Still getting glass out after 46 years.Pulled out a piece this morning and I feel another at the corner of my eye right now.I finally had a 4F granted.That is another story and it sure was not the navy doctor that granted it.

I am a big LucasArts fan.  Especially: Day of the Tentacle, Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island, Full Throttle, etc.  Those games were so unique, and fun.

Monkey Island was awesome!

My avatar has the pathetic sadness mixed with neurotic anticipation I feel in real life.

[somatichypermutation]

Are all you guys who avoided the draft, or got drafted, more liberal or more conservative?  I could see all of it taking you either way.

Love all of Lucasarts old games. Full Throttle and Grim Fandango were my favorites.

Funny how the thing got off topic and so few except the General talked about their avatar.


My favorite characters as a child were Superman, The Lone Ranger and Clark Kent ( because he and Bill Virdon were the only 2 people I saw out there who wore glasses like I did ).


MY Superman will always be George Reeves and his death may well be the first great conspiracy theory of my generation, long before the death of Marilyn, JFK, RFK or Area 51.


I've never believed he killed himself, there's too much evidence against it and as we have seen in the case of Marilyn, Sal Mineo, RFK and OJ, too much incompetence by the LAPD in investigating it.


I always liked how George when he was Clark would kind of talk to the audience with a knowing smile or a wink.

I think that is the general consensus all of the time.

[Eddie Coyle]

I think that is the general consensus all of the time.

     Sadly, probably true. A thankfully brief "USA"chant broke out at the Bruins game tonight...nevermind 80% of the players not being from the "USA" and this bombing was domestic.
