I was also a fan of Mr. Terrific. Unfortunately it didn't last long.

the action heros often cause more damage in the apprehension of the bad guys than the bad guys themselves cause.  :noid

My Dad split when I was 5, he doesn't even make the top 10! I think my all time fav has to be Spiderman. The kid stumbles on to his powers and has a blast kicking butt from then on out. And the one liners he had could have put Johnny Carson to shame  :D

Not an "action hero" as you guys would put it. But hey, Mike Inez is real and he was one of the 3 guys who got me into playing the bass. Not to mention he's great at what he does.

There is no competition to my favorite action hero as a kid.  He had a knack of pulling whatever you needed out of his hairy body especially a refridgerator stocked with the best cuts of meat for grilling.

Pulling out a refridgerator stocked with the best cuts of meat for grilling on command is hard to beat.

If you've got a young kid, speed racer cartoons from the 60s had a pretty big body count which shows kids the harsh consequences.

This made it all the more epic in my young mind.

Some of the artwork on the backgrounds of that show was amazing.

Does the Sarge count?  As a kid I always got stuck being the LT. because my dad's helmet had a LT bar on it.  My buddy got to be the Sarge cause his Dad had been a Sargent in Korea.  Everyone wanted to be Sargent Saunders.  I think it was the Tommy gun :)

Figures, what a shame though.

And to think it used to turn into a chopper and haul a futuristic lamborghini.  Do they ever fly the chopper out of the cab at those festivals?

Someone posted on youtube a video of the cab turning into the helicopter.  Did they use a Gazelle?
http://youtu.be/asYhAU_mzxw?t=2m24s

I looked up the other truck Jetto the Aussie drove and it turns out that it was a prototype for a new style semi truck.

I'm curious about our resident truckers opinions of the Steinwinter here.  To me it looks like a good idea to put the cab under the trailer.  At least in europe, I don't think we have cab length regulations here in the states.

The Greatest of all time



"He shrugged his shoulders. "I have known many gods. He who denies them is as blind as he who trusts them too deeply. I seek not beyond death. It may be the blackness averred by the Nemedian skeptics, or Crom's realm of ice and cloud, or the snowy plains and vaulted halls of the Nordheimer's Valhalla. I know not, nor do I care. Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content. Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content."

if reading that does not quicken the blood.......you are not a man.

There's no need to fear, Underdog is here.

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,

Of those who's hearts are filled with greed
And rob and steal from those in need.
To right this wrong with blinding speed goes

Quote
WHEN MADNESS WEARS THE CROWN. Night hovered on black and filmy wings above the spires of royal Tarantia. Along fog-silenced streets cressets burned with the feral eyes of beasts of prey in primal wilderness. Few there were who walked abroad on nights like this, although the veiled darkness was redolent with the scent of early spring. Those few whom dire necessity drove out of doors stole forth like thieves on furtive feet and tensed at every shadow.On the acropolis, round which sprawled the Old City, the palace of many kings lifted its crenelated crest against the wan and pallid stars. This castled capitol crouched upon its hill like some fantastic monster out of ages past, glaring at the Outer City walls, whose great stones held it captive.On glittering suite and marble hall within the sullen palace, silence lay as thick as dust in mouldering Stygian tombs. Servants and pages cowered behind locked doors, and none bestrode the long corridors and curving stairs except the royal guard. Even these scarred and battle-seasoned veterans were loath to stare too deeply into shadows and winced at every unexpected sound.Two guards stood motionless before a portal draped in rich hangings of brocaded purple. They stiffened and blanched as an eerie, muffled cry escaped from the apartment. It sang a thin, pitiful song of agony, which pierced like an icy needle the stout hearts of the guardsmen.“Mitra save us all” whispered the guard on the left, through pinched lips pale with tension.His comrade said naught, but his thudding heart echoed the fervent prayer and added: “Mitra save us all, and the land as well …”For they had a saying in Aquilonia, the proudest kingdom of the Hyborian world: “The bravest cower when madness wears the crown.” And the king of Aquilonia was mad.

I have read them all...... SDC is OK.....definitely no REH, but good.....some of the other authors that tried..... WoW...... sad.....

it was actually Frank Frezzetta's covers that got me into it, I was 12..... loved to draw, never even heard of Conan...... was in YDC saw this book with an amazing cover painting.....30 plus years later I am still a huge fan and still get the chills reading Robert E Howard....there was none like him.......

With all the older characters and shows posted, it made me think of old stuff.
How many remember this old kids show?

Wow! I had completely forgotten about that show. didnt get to catch it often. as it was on early Sunday mornings and I used to sleep late after watching Creature Features, and Chiller theater on Sat night. so I would sleep late on Sunday.
But when I slept over my cousins house we used to watch it as his parents wouldnt let him/us either stay up that late or watch horror movies.
Loved it when I saw it though

Did it look like this?

It seems to be the same company, I remember it being in a truck book I had before I knew how to really read.  It was the weird looking truck.
It looked exactly like that.

No, not Leonard Nimoy...... yes, Vic Morrow!   :neener:  I was a Combat junky long before I was a Trekkie.  Besides, Spock was cooler than cool..... Ice Cold! 

I did attempt the Vulcan death pinch once, and got a black eye in return..... darn fiction  :huh

Edited:  Guppy beat me to it.....   (attempts death pinch on Guppy.... then ducks)
