Yes, but what are the girls doing during the party? We now know what Bud and Jeff are doing. Watching two TVs at once is a real blast and a bit mind blowing even if not in an alter state. I know, I worked in Broadcast News for a couple years and we’d have feeds on in the back of the engineering room plus our feed. Weird that we could catch something of interest too. That was the news game…
In 1968… yes, 1968, the Moody Blues released their second album called “In Search of the Lost Chord” and it cemented their style of psychedelic/cosmic rock. But keyboardist Mike Pinder, whom I met one day on a signing tour in a Best Buy (nice chap indeed), wrote today’s comic title. A song he describes as about thinking. Okay Mike, it was 1968 and you’re singing about traveling on an album that’s best served up while toking? Yeah, right… Bud and Jeff are traveling for sure.

Discussion (29) ¬
Great stuff! Next tonight: Starsky and Mindy!
Or along the same lines, Mork & Hutch in a flying egg car! 🙂 I could do a slew of TV shows mash-ups! The creative noggin’ is starting to work…
🙂
Like the haze filled room.
It’s the little things we do sometimes that are the funniest, in my opinion. I do little things like this all the time. Sometimes people notice, other times not so much, which is cool in a way as it’ll be something they can see later.
🙂
Nicely done!
I’m a big fan of these old shows… particularly The Lone Ranger. I watched that show every week as a kid (it was in reruns even then…). They’re very simple and innocent (Lone Ranger never shot anyone, only shot their gun… good shooting, Tex!). I miss that in TV these days, but then it’s a different world too.
Speaking of lost innocence… My 12 year old son is hooked on iCarly on the Disney channel and she has NO PARENTS that are mentioned at all, yet has the huge 2-story apartment and all this video gear. She’s doin’ tricks, you just know it…
🙂
she lives with her rich artist brother with their mom dead and a their military dad in a submarine under the ocean, silly
Byron — LOL I told you the dope was better in California 🙂
A little Acapulco Gold for your weekend, sir? Oh yeah, that’s the stuff…
😀
Altered states? You want altered states try watching the July 4th “Twilight Zone” marathon while lying in a hospital bed with 10cc of Demerol freshly shot into your rear end. Every blink is twenty minutes long. I couldn’t figure out what the hell William Shatner was doing in a diner with all those nurses who looked like pigs and Agnes Moorhead, while waiting for the bandages to come off their eyes in a blackout. Then it was next Tuesday and O.J.Simpson was on every channel.
It was like living in one of those little Swiss chalet viewer things where every click of the chimney puts a completely different scene in the window.
Another Chapter in the life that we call… Roxysteve.
Man, the Twilight Zone while stoned would be a TOTAL freakout. Some of those alien stories were more than creepy, and the kid tossing people into the corn field… wet your pants and hide in the closed until you came down, man.
No, I watched Underdog or Bozo the Clown while high. Now that’s entertainment.
🙂
I loved Bozo the Clown,and Underdog, but back then the only high I got was when I was put into my “high”-chair! I spent a lot of time as a kind watching Abbott and Costello movies and the Flinstones!
..er, kid… not kind! I’m not kind at all! *gein*
I love Abbott & Costello! My dad got an 8mm film projector (the 60s equivalent of buying a VCR today) and it came with a small reel that featured A&B and the Keystone Cops. I’d watch that tiny reel of film a hundred times. I should find that and get it transferred as I think it survived all the floods and moves through the decades! A-A-A-BBBEETTT!!!
🙂
’68? I was one whole years old. And I remember thinking in high school how new and awesome the Moody Blues sounded.
Their sound held up for a long time to say the least. The early records are a bit dated with references to Timothy Leary (who?) and such, but the albums in the 70s were great cosmic rock epics. Saw them several times over the years in many venues here in Chicago, loved each concert.
Named my oldest son after Justin Hayward. No, he’s not Hayward Wilkins…
🙂
TURN ON! TUNE IN! AND DROP OUT! IT’S PSYCHEDELLIC BABY! LOL, the fun mates and I have had with £sd! really drops you though. Thanks for the Timothy Leary reference.
Yep. Them’s wuz good days. 😀
Some one who gets it! YES! 🙂 I know, I sound like an old fart, but they were cool times…
🙂
Did I just see Mickey Mouse kick Spiderman’s ass, or, did Disney just buy Marvel?
Well, a little of both I’d say! Depends on what you were smokin’… 😛
Just curious why the “Q” in penguin?
Bluntly, I’m an idiot that did not spell check his script once again. Curses, foiled again!
Thank you, I’ll get that corrected!
Don’t feel bad at all, there’s a restaurant in the town where I moved to 10 years ago called The Penquin, and when I pointed the spelling out to lifelong residents here they were shocked that they never noticed the Q in the restaurant name before. They all called it The Penguin all these years without even realizing it.
Cool mashup comic, nonetheless! The Moodies are STILL rockin’ after a fabulous tour this past summer, with another tour this coming spring 2010, but long since without Mike and Ray. Mike and Ray recently reunited for the first time in MANY years over in the UK after Ray’s wedding to a wonderful gal, Lee, from here in the USA.
Justin just turned 63 this past Wednesday! Still sings like an angel!
I love the Moody Blues. I follow Mike Pinder after meeting him in 1995 when he toured Best Buys promoting his solo CD release. Took time to chat and sign anything. Cool guy, cool experiences. I saw he and Ray had reunited at Ray’s wedding on Mike’s website.
I have both of Ray’s solo albums and love them. Yes, the Moodies today are still great, but I’ll never forget the famous line up of Justin, John, Ray, Mike & Graham. Fantastic stuff!
I don’t feel so old now knowing that Justin is 63! I’m 52, so I’m still young… 🙂
Holy high ho Silver! LMAO at this one. Gr8 comic, man!
“Hey, you just dipped your Tonto in my Batman!” “Yeah, well you just plopped your Robin in my Ranger.” Two great tastes that taste better together. 🙂
