Its missions week in Looney Bay.
Lesson: The Great Commission
Script: The Amazing Who missed Halloween due to the time change, so he asked Moody to give out free candy to everyone he saw. The Devil arrives and convinces Moody not to give out candy. Reasons included "They'll make fun of you", "He doesn't deserve candy", "He's different than you". At the end Moody missed out on great rewards because he didn't give out the free gift.
Thoughts: I hate to toot my own horn but this was a good script. Some weeks I write scripts and they go nowhere but this one was clear and on point.
Oh and John did a killer magic trick this week. I saw a few kid's heads explode. It was crazy.
Goofs: None
Overview: Good week.

An Encouragement
Let's face it, life is hard. This world can you beat you down. You might want to close yourself off from everyone. When that happens just remember...

Looney Bay: Black Light Sunday
This week was the annual Black light sunday where we replace the regular light blubs with black light bulbs. We then play Nightmare before Christmas music. Its fun watching your retinas melt out of your head.
Lesson: It was inside that counts
Script: Sam makes fun of Mashed Potatoes. Hootenanny makes inside out potion that makes you change into what you are on the inside. The Clown poisons Sam and Red with the inside out potion. Sam turns into a goblin and Red turns into Nemo?
Thoughts: I always slip into Al Gore mode when I bring out Mashed Potatoes since they have the same voice. He started preaching about carbon emissions from jack-o-lanterns and underwear. I think its John's favorite character.
We also had Joker and Harley Quinn take over the children's church. Bat Kid showed up to stop them and was laughed out of the building. And then Super Granny beat Joker with a cane. No really.
Blunders: Nothing to report other than Jack Skellington singing during the prayer.
Overall: It was fun but I'm glad its over.

What ever happened to Cartoon Network?
Disney bought Marvel and Nickelodeon bought the ninja turtles. So where does that leave Cartoon Network?
In a lot of trouble. Have you seen their lineup lately? Its mostly crummy reality shows and total drama whatever. True they have Batman: Brave and the Bold and Star Wars the Clone Wars... but Cartoon Network is nowhere near as great as it once was.
At least they still have Naruto...
Or not...
Naruto Shippuden starts on Disney XD this wednesday.

He drives us bats!
Batman Brave and the Bold on cartoon network did a musical episode and it airs Friday Night.
The best part is it features Neil Patrick Harris (DOOGIE!) as the the Music Meister!

End of an Era
Peter Laird celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by selling the property to Nickelodeon.
Wait Wha?!?
And nothing will ever be the same.

Looney Bay: Toy Circus
This week John tried to break all of my transformers toys... I mean collectibles.
Lesson: Fruit of the Spirit (Joy)
Script: The mysteriously diabolical clown, opened a toystore and started selling transformers. Who knows where he go them from but I'm sure it was illegal. Sam starts begging Herm for money because he has to have the newest figure. But the figures don't bring joy and he has to buy another and another and another.
adlibs: I failed to realize that Sam wouldn't be able to pick up the toys since his hands didn't work so he had to bite all the toys. So we started adlibing that Sam was eating the transformers. Also we got to use the drawbridge to display the toys! We never use the drawbridge!
Blunders: John dropped a couple of the transformers and they exploded into pieces. Luckily the newer transformers just pop back together. The old ones from the 80's would have been unable to be fixed.
Overall: Good day

What are time traveling posts?
I try and have a new post day for every day of the week. Time traveling posts happen when I'm away from the computer and can't make that day's post. This weekend was full of time traveling posts because I had a pretty busy three day week.
And now you know...

eleven44
Sometime last week little black and white signs with the phrase "eleven44.org" started popping up all over Louisville. I was curious so I visited the site. There's a mysterious countdown and a clue reading "ten4eleven44". There are also links to facebook and twitter.
What could it mean?
At first I thought it was a radio station since ten-4 is radio talk, but that doesn't work. AM stations end in 0 and FM stations are odd numbers.
Someone suggested that its the time of a church service... 11:44. Sounds weird but I guess plausible.
Maybe its a pattern, ten4, eleven44, twelve444?
Here is my guess. If you take ten4eleven44 and turn it into calculator upside talk you get: hhllhol or Hellhole. I knew it! Louisville is on top of a Hellmouth that is going to open in October. Someone call Buffy!

the epic meeting
Way back on October 31st, 2001, I got to meet Bruce Campbell at a book signing. I realized some of my newer friends have never seen the picture of this epic meeting. So here it is in all its glory.
Geez... I look scared to death.

DISNEY BUYS MARVEL
Well that was unexpected.
The AlCave Action News Team presents our in depth coverage of this amazing announcement. In other words we make idle speculation that we can no way prove and is probably very, very wrong.
This is huge news, a win win. I'm hopeful that Disney will leave the comic book side of things alone. But there's an issue. A lot of Marvel's properties are at different movie studios.
Sony has Spider-man.
Fox has X-Men, Fantastic Four, Daredevil
Marvel Studios/Paramount have Captain America, Thor, Iron man, Antman, Hulk, and the Avengers.
New Line has Blade.
Lions Gate has Punisher.
Columbia Pictures has Ghost Rider.
Its a logistical nightmare. I'm sure Disney is going to do whatever it takes to get these movies back when contracts expire. So all of the heavy hitters are off the table, where does that leave Disney?
With a great library of secondary characters:
She Hulk
New warriors
Runaways
Thunderbolts
Exiles
Cloak and Dagger
Dr. Strange
The Inhumans
Agents of Atlas
Iron Fist
Luke Cage
Spider-Woman
Moon Knight
And that's just off the top of my head. Disney has 5,000 characters to choose from! 5,000!
Once they get the rights back from the other movie studios we could see a Secret Wars movie. Something that seemed impossible just a few days ago.
But wait there's more. There was a line of comics called Cross Gen that went under a few years ago. Guess who bought them? That's right Disney.
So does this mean that we'll see Disney comics produced by Marvel? Not necessarily. Disney has a deal in place right now with Boom! Studios. I wouldn't be surprised if BOOM! Studios isn't bought my Marvel/Disney in the near future.
As a Marvel Zombie, I'm pretty excited (and a little frightened) about this. The next few years for Marvel are going to be very interesting.

Looney Bay: Hate Monster In Training
Was today a day of doom? Maybe...
Lesson: Fruits of the spirit (Love)
Script: Java and Lenny flood the town so everyone moves in with Sam and Herm. Herm gets very stressed. The Hate Monster decides that this is the perfect time to spread hatred. Unfortunately his son Winky, doesn't want to be a hate monster. He wants to be a balloonist and fire weiner dogs out of a canon at passing balloons. Herm loses it after all his stuff is broke so he kicks everyone out. Winky then offers to help Herm clean up, spreading love instead of hate.
Thoughts: Winky is a great addition to the cast. He talks like one of the Beatles. We'll definately be seeing him again.
Adlibs/blunders: Things were going along great until Ben went off script and screamed OMG. A big no no. Lenny tried to distract the kids by diving over the wall. Unfortunately none of the kids really reacted to Ben's OMG outburst. Kinda sad really.
Oh and Jonathan went crazy with adlibs again at the end of the script. I think he has tourettes.
Overall: Great day until Ben's outburst.

Turtles Forever
I'm eagerly awaiting an upcoming TMNT special Turtles Forever. Its a crossover between the 1987 cartoon and the 2003 series. Basically the final episode for both series. They are still debating if it will be a tv or a direct to dvd special. Here's a sweet poster for it.

Music for your tv
Ever watch a tv show with great music and think I would really like that on my mp3 player. Well you're in luck.
I found this nifty little site called www.televisiontunes.com. They have tons of music from just about any show you can think of. I found some nifty music from Phineas and Ferb, futurama, and Scrubs. Right click and save as to download.
And its all free!

Looney Bay: Masters of Hiccup-fu
Another week, another miracle of Jesus. I'm the only person who can make miracles sound ho-hum. :p
Biblical Lesson: Jesus heals the sick.
Script: Herm's perfect day is ruined by horrible hiccups. The other puppets offer a variety of solutions from being fired out of a catapult to sniffing a shark tail. Herm asks for a miracle but the frog tells him the only one who can perform miracles is Jesus.
Thoughts: Jesus did some amazing things in the Bible, but they are hard to write scripts around. I had thought about doing a script about Bogus the Possum being a faith healer before finally settling on Herm gets the hiccups. Hopefully next week we'll do something out of the old testament.
Ad Libs/Blunders: Herm's hiccups got rather ridiculous. Jonathan tried to adlib with the frog, it made no sense whatsoever.
Overall: Okay day.

Riff Trax Reminder
Bought my tickets tonight for Riff Trax. Remember its this Thursday night. For those who don't know, Riff Trax are made by some former members of MST3k. They are basically commentary tracks for popular movies that are riffing the movie.
Don't miss it or you'll have to answer to these guys.

Its Monday... be happy
It's Monday!
I'm starting a new thing on the blog where I try and post something happy on Mondays to brighten your day.
Oh wait. Crud! This is a time travelling post. I'm actually posting this on Tuesday... I think I may have broken the space time continuum or something?
Oh well, hope your Monday was a happy one.
