• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Blue Origin flight with William Shatner

Went off well. Wathing them land and subsequently trying to open the capsule and it kind of looks like a shit show.

They land in the middle of the desert and it probably took them 10 minutes just to reach the capsule. The passengers sat inside the whole time they were waiting and then an awkward video of Bezos tapping on the shell.

Its taken them another 5-10 minutes to get the whole door open.

Kinda weird.

I'll ad that Shatner looks incredible for 90 years old. Full homo
 
Shat says he saw death on his trip…

I'm guessing at his age, he sees it everytime he looks over his shoulder.

Shatner was more compelling and interesting than the flight. Bezos can only pretend to be in the same class as Elon Musk.

First time I ever watched William was on an old episode of The Twilight Zone, then you young guys wouldn't know about that. We only had 2 TV stations in 1954 but the nightly lineup was great. One of my favorites was Amos n Andy. I watched the very first episode of Gunsmoke, all the old 30s sci fi series like Flash Gordon and others. Saturdays was non stop good series. I hated to see 5pm come round because the news came on and it just ruined an otherwise great day. Come to think of it today is about the same..

I was born in 53, but I grew up watching all of those awesome shows. They sure don't make them like that anymore. Not just nostalgia, but fact. TV shows today are cranked out like cookies and they go stale within a month. Shitty concepts, shitty scripts and shitty actors ads up to one big shit show!

Texaco Star and Milton Berle was gut busting......Ladies and Germs ;0) It was mid 70s when Benny Hill arrived to American TV and I still watch it on youtube it's so damned funny.
