One can hear the crickets chirping...ANYONE out there?

Well I guess I'll join B in questioning of any Liscum Lab members (present or former) aside from he and I ever use the Internet? The blog has been he and I having private little conversations and jabs at each other for too long now. Time for some new voices, hell even a comment. Come on Jo I know you get emails when a new post goes up...Renee has an excuse (I read her blog so I know!).

On the (good) chance that B is the only one reading this I have another Fu movie recommendation: Furious Slaughter. Another Old Skool Fu flick, this one starring Jimmy Wang Yu (the One-Armed Swordsman himself - although he's neither one armed or a swordsman in this particular movie). This is not an easy flick to find but if you can it's really quite good as 70's Fu goes - the story (and English dub) are good, the lead actor is perfect in this role, and the fights are plentiful and bloody (if not exceptionally fast or wire-fu). I posted a review on my HK Flix page (yes my screen name there is Porky Lo Meng, I'll explain to anyone who wants to know why). If you can't find this one and still want a decent Fu flick ( or a more modern one) try "Transporter 2" - very good action, and from a non-Asian dude!

For some reason I stopped getting emails when there was a new post. I did get one this morning when the Star Trek entry was posted, but missed the last few. This might be a good thing because I took a look at the lab shirt and am struggling with the fact that this is the very first year I'm not on the shirt (*sniff*). Not that I expected to be on it, I just wish I was still there and had a right to be on the shirt this year.

Anyhow, maybe we should do a "where are they now" post - Mannie could email all the current and past members to encourage everyone to post a comment on the blog about how they are doing now. It would be fun to read and might get some renewed interest in the blog.

I love to read the blog and keep caught up, but really we need more lab nonsense on there. While I do miss the witty humor of the Liscum Lab, kung fu movies and politics aren't really my thing, so I'd love to see some lab pics/stories:)

Miss you all and hope to make a trip back this summer!!

Great suggestion (to get some input) and sorry for the less 'interesting' posts. As for the T-shirt...there's always room on them for you Renee!!!

BTW, love the "hawk" - really suits the boy.
