...Or restaurants. Our favorite Japanese place is going out of business. I weep.

I think that I am weary of being a do-gooder. I am inspired by the concept of United Crime.
Consequently, I must give myself over to nefarious do-baddery. No, really. The thought of causing mayhem and egregious time-wasting fills me with 'Varky glee! Besides, I look GREAT in a diabolical domino mask. But what to do...what to do...?
Excellent sinister ideas fill me! I am on the verge of a capricious coup. I shall...
I shall...
I SHALL DO A BLOGCAST!!
Yes, kiddies, I am signed onto BlogRadio, my Real Blogcaster's Microphone is here, I must set up Skype on my 'Varktop logic, and likely Monday will be my premiere episode. Stay tuned for the 'Vark-time, and my 'Vark-channel.

Of course, the image above is from the Batman movie (1966), the only true Batman film. Svengoolie is showing the movie tonight, cut for time. Poor Milton Frome was excised from the piece. Frank Gorshin looked stylish in his Riddler suit! Everyone was in it. Even Jack LaLanne was in it!
Lee Meriwether, bless her, is a lovely thing (my father escorted her at one time during her Miss America stint), but she is just not Julie Newmar....
Wellll....
Burgess Meredith is always a hoot, Cesar Romero's Joker with almost-covered moustache, and Gorshin's obsessive Riddling are all true to form.
The best bit is Batman trying to get rid of a big black sparking bomb while avoiding injuring civilians.

Shalom!". G'night everybody!

I was living in Austin when the world premier of "Batman" was held there. Incredible times.
(Why premier the movie in Austin? Well . . . one of the features of the film was the Batboat. It had been built by Glastron Boats which was based in . . .)
One thing about the movie which never occurred to me while watching the television series: why were the villains wearing masks? Especially the Joker? Was he afraid someone was going to realize "OMG, that's the Joker behind that mask!"?
Yeah, I lost a great Chinese buffet restaurant here some time back. The most fantastic curried chicken one could ever hope for. Then the restaurant changed hands and was run by Filipinos who only knew how to cook greasy pork. The restaurant soon closed down, was torn down, and the space is now occupied by one of those law offices who advertise on late night television.
