TV memories
When I was a kid of seven or so - we had some great TV from the States - 'Bewitched', 'Hogan's Heroes', 'Top Cat' (can you name them all? I can!) - but our favourite was the show about Custer and the 7th.
I was fascinated by 'Crazy Horse' - and still am. This name was taken when I joined CC - so I took his Oglaha name 'Tashunca-Uitco' (or 'Tashunca-Witco') = 'his horse is crazy'.
I still feel kin-ship with this intelligent, spiritual man who couldn't adjust to a changing world - and fought to preserve what he thought was the right way of living - free and wild - in direct contrast to the materialism and greed of the settlers.
I feel the same way, living in a country that is rapidly giving up it's individual freedom to a Government determined to criminalise it's own populace - whilst refusing to protect them from crime.
I'm not on some 'wounded knee' PC kick - he just happens to be one of my heroes - as is Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce. But then so are Jesus Christ, Mohamed, Alexander, Leonidas and the 400, St Francis of Assisi and a hundred other unrelated people that lived lives that instruct.

We fought him hard
We fought him well
Out on the plains - we gave him hell

Two facts you may not know about 'Top-Cat'
That is all.
Promise.
- In the UK the show was referred to as 'Boss Cat' - because Top Cat was a brand of cat-food and it would have breached the BBC's advertising guide-lines.
Top Cat was based on the 'Phil-Silver's Show' - better known to most of us as 'Bilko'
That is all.
Promise.

I'm a dork and one of my more commonly used username is GolemGhoul. I like the myths about Golems from the Wise Men of Helm stories and I like the definition of a ghoul (grave digger or robber that eats the flesh of the dead) . . . so yeah I'm a dork with a thing for mythical beings of kickassness
