A little private eye competition always ends badly. Now we know how Magnum ended up in Hawaii… no matter what the show producers say. Don’t know who Nick Danger is? Google Firesign Theatre and you’ll find him. The original Nick Danger bit from 1969 is the best and splits my gut every time.
Today’s song says thank you to all of you who have helped my family and me this year with your kindness and your support. Enough said. You’re the best damned readers on the planet.
BTO’s “Thank You for the Feeling” was the final track on their first album and they used it to end their concerts for years. It’s a simple little tune that talks of a wild night and waking up the morning-after with a random female next to you. So the song reminds me of some wild weekends from 1977.
When ever Nick Danger talks I hear Charles Bronson.
You did a Firesign reference! You did a Firesign reference! ~faints with teh happy~
And oh my, what a…er…colourful shirt Magnum is wearing. And what a 1977-appropriate print that is on it. You, sir, reign.
Great…Magnum walks in the door and now I can’t get the theme song out of my head.
Ha, Magnum PI got shot in the foot.
While it may hurt it was kind of funny in way. 😀
Nice Firesign reference and Magnum PI in one strip, awesomeness to the 10th power. I would have figured the power of Magnum’s stache would have protected him from the bullet. 🙂
My buddies and I used to repeat the Firesign Theater albums from memory all the time. It was probably pretty annoying to others, but we found it very entertaining!
I always thought that here should have been a spin off series from Magnum P.I. It could have been about Robin Master’s gardener:
Sphagnum!
Dave
I can always find a Firesign Theater fan using this method. When someone asks whats up reply “We aint got anymore loco weed”. Most people say “What?” but there are a few that come back with “Sure have I have some road apple red right here”.
At least he didn’t shoot that wonderful mustache.
Great tie-ins today Byron, Firesign rocks! You sir, truly deserve to be the head bozo on the bus!
I want one of those Magnum P.I. shirts with the special 1977 print on it, Mine from the 80’s doesn’t fit me anymore either LOL .My mustache has long ago gone missing along with the hair on the top of my head (sigh) ah precious memories . At least I don’t have a cheesy theme song stuck in my head……Oh wait here it come along with the montage of a red Ferrari peeling out in sand.
Nick Danger shot Tomas Magnum in the foot Tom looked hot so I’d have the dick charged with misuse of a firearm. They’ll take Nick cheap 38 revolver lock him jail then he can either amuse or torture his fallow imates with jargon. We all know Nick envy Tomas Magnum good looks, making sense, red Ferrari, cool home, Hughes 500 helicopter, women in sexy dresses and not being related to Carlos Danger. So Nick was doomed to be a jail bird Anthony or no Anthony where Loraine find these people.Now I know why Tomas Magnum lives in Hawaii tacky shirts or no tacky shirts at least they are clean Nick who can’t do laundry.
Many years ago. I was in a high school production of “Oliver.” The guy playing Bill Sykes would come up behind me, in full makeup, and say; “It had been snowing in Santa Barbra ever since the… top of the page, and I had to shake the cornstarch off my mukaluks as I lifted the heavy obsidian door knocker.”
THEN HE’D WALK AWAY. He did this three times before I could get him to tell me what the Hell he was doing!
Another time (another theater group) I was cleaning out stage right of a theater, and I was keeping myself busy by reciting “Nick Danger.” I got to that part,, and said; “Hey in there! Open up! Your doorknocker fell off!” FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE THEATER, A PERSON I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW WAS THERE SAYS; “What’s all this brou-ha-ha?” And the two of us, completely hidden from each other, did most of the rest of the sequence!
