This was the sci-fi for kids of the 50's. Anyone remember Buster?

Ming the Merciless.

The younger folks in my department have no idea what we are talking about when some of the staff call me that and threaten to get me the big collar. I keep a copy of the Evil Overlord Rules on my bulleting board.

Spent many an hour watching that show as a kid.

One of the late night horror programs, Dr. Mad Blood I think it was, used to show a Flash clip every week. Best part of the show!

The first FG I ever saw (I was about 16 so it was about 1982) I seem to remember one man was holding up a small rock while he and two other men observed it. One man said something like, "fascinating," and the man holding the rock said, "it is highly radioactive."

I **** near browned my pants I laughed so hard.

About a year later some company started marketing shampoo where the plastic bottle was made like it was intended to hold radioactive material. The front of the bottle had a radioactive "insignia" on it, too. Quite a few people purchased it, and I always wondered why people would think that we should aspire to wipe radioactive cream all over our scalps.

Oh, yeah, I remember Ming and the gang. The funny part of watching them now is the space ships that have to circle to gain altitude.

My favorite show as a kid was Captain Midnight, I even had a Secret Squadron decoder ring.
