Maybe with a little imagination and a dark/warped sense of humor (like mine) they can be a little more fun. <br /><br />Pic one the Kanamit's have returned to their home planet (with a load of humans) and this poor settler is being slow roasted for the evening meal. Remember, To Serve Man was a cookbook. <br /><br />Pic two Our native American friend suffers from severe Hyperhidrosis and is not only waving to the crowd but trying to air out his buckskin encased armpits. <br /><br />Great pics.

Do they have a song called “Gee Willikers”?<br /><br />Stu29573, Chief Wavy was properly trained and knew how to wave for hours without suffering any ill-effects. In other words, he was a pro!<br /><br />K. Martinez, oh, good thought! I really don’t know if they were 5/8 scale!<br /><br />Chuck, I prefer their early hits, before they sold out and lost their edge.<br /><br />Melissa, FANTASTIC! I don’t know how you do it - and so quickly, too! It would take me all day, and mine would be bad.<br /><br />Lou and Sue, me too!<br /><br />JG, I actually have no idea when those hillside warriors were completely removed; for a while it seemed like the number was reduced little by little as the trees and bushes grew. But you never know, maybe another Junior Gorilla has that info!<br /><br />Bu, I think that the dead settler was one of those “hard facts” of the frontier that Walt talked about in his opening day speech. Sacrifices were made. I admit that there are times when I’ve seen surrounding trees seeming to encroach on those flames to the point where I am surprised that there was never a brush fire on the island. I thought that the cabin was made of steel and concrete, but have never actually known.<br /><br />Stu29573, yeah, why don’t blues singers just stay in bed?! I guess they have to get up for the bathroom, if nothing else.

Let show the violent hatchet murder of an unexpecting woodsman, and then!....for extra excitement!...show a unsupervised burning building (with actual FLAMES) in the middle of a forest with lots of fresh trees and perhaps some dry ones too to give them a REAL show. I can't have a candle burning in my house without a fire extinguisher less than 10 feet away from it, and it still makes me nervous...I actually loved this burning building and all the murder things...however I always wondered how nothing else burned around this house, and I am sure with all that fire things had to have got hot enough to ignite something...right? Was this house made of concrete? Or maybe big bricks made from pure asbestos? A combo platter of both?Buhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696171466781661331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-71775496232330006372021-05-16T08:21:55.787-07:002021-05-16T08:21:55.787-07:00Melissa, I can hear the Chief’s backup singers now...Melissa, I can hear the Chief’s backup singers now...<br /><br />I’m sure some Junior Gorilla knows the dates that the rhythm section was removed?<br /><br />Major, thank you for the pics.<br /><br />Another day with my kids, who we haven’t seen for 15 months.<br /><br />Cheers all!
