captain_slinkyTrying to track my thoughts tonight, no idea how I got here.
Started with reminiscing about the good old days of Nick At Nite... classic hard-to-find television shows like "Fernwood 2-Nite" and "Mister Ed". That lead to also remembering the good old days of The Gameshow Network, when it was non-stop re-runs of shows from the 60's, 70's and 80's like Family Feud (the Richard Dawson years), Beat the Clock, Let's Make A Deal... the stuff I got to watch all day long whenever I was sick as a child. And then THAT lead to a very strong desire to see some vintage episodes of The Gong Show. Torrent search produced zero results :( but it reminded me of all the stuff I used to be able to watch on Satellite TV like old re-runs of "Real People", "That's Incredible" and other stuff that networks were just tossing in to outerspace so that they had something to fill the airwaves with. And that reminded me of that crappy little apartment I had in Renton where I just ran the cables for my satellite dish out through the back door and just left the back door open all the time. And THAT reminded me that Brandon Graham, a well respected indie comic book artist in his own right, probably still has my full run of Kingdom Come comics since I still have his brother's Lone Wolf & Cub comics in my collection. And then that brought me to Dan Matanski, the co-worker and friend who i knew WAY too much about. His was the first Playstation i ever played with. He was the first guy I ever had to break up with... for a friend. She couldn't bring herself to tell him, so I did it for her while the two of them were in the room. AWKWARD.
So that's how I ended up adding Dan Matanski to my Facebook Friends List tonight :)
***EDIT: Brandon Graham just replied to me - he doesn't know where my Kingdom Come comics are but he'll have his mom look for them. His Brother apparently has not yet noticed that his Lone Wolf & Cub comics are missing.
