Fraggle Rock Revisited and Trekkie Time

A couple of things, briefly. Mrs. Swain wants to be the stoned Fraggle.... appropriately for her, his name is Boober. Jenny absolutely can be the sexy French Fraggle that Gobo's Uncle (played by Raphael) hooked up with in Paris. I have never thought about the seductive skills of Fraggles and I'm fairly certain Jim Henson didn't either. HOWEVER, Jim Henson was behind the movie "Labyrinth" and we all know that David Bowie's package is rather pronounced in his leotard costuming as the Goblin King, thus Jim Henson was not insensible to such sexual issues... Yes, I believe that Fraggles could be seductive. I'm sure there were Fraggle women with Doozer fetishes and I'm sure those Fraggle ladies were cast out of all good Fraggle society for gettin' freaky with the Doozers. I'm also sure that Freud would have had a field day with the fact that they lived in CAVES and that they ate the Doozers' erections (architecturally speaking). Suddenly I think Fraggles were kind of whoooores...

And secondly, my brother made me aware of the video I posted below. This is just one of several and I had a hell of a time choosing which one to post. I may gradually post the others if you all want to see them or have difficulty finding them. I watched "Trekkies" yesterday and have had "Star Trek" on the brain for a couple of days. No idea why. It's a mystery. But I always knew Spock had it in him. I always knew.

I vote for posting them all! Personally, nothing brightens my day quite like watching Spock kick it with the crew.

Did you see the one on my blog? There's another one I'm looking for, but I can't seem to locate it. If I find it, I'll put it up. Yo.
