I'm dreaming of doing a holiday special
Just like the ones I used to know
Where a reindeers noses glisten
As people glued to the tv listen
To poorly put together shows
I'm dreaming of doing a holiday special
Where celeberty guests drop by
Who rather be with me to say hi
Then be with their own family and pecan pie
I'm dreaming of doing a holiday special
Where for no reason people sing songs
That some how everyone knows and sing along
And it all takes a half hour long

-Canned Laughter-
IJ Dee-Vo: Now it's a good one trust me and it goes something like this
Tachi the robot,
Was a gloomy bitter soul,
With camera eyes,
An omnidirectional drive,
And optional remote control
Tachi the Robot,
Was a waste of tax payers' dollars they say
Drinks made with the coffee bean,
Would lose their caffine, So they wound up throwing Tachi away
There must have been some magic in that goto subroutine that was coded
For when it was compiled into Tachi, it's systems got overloaded
OH, Tachi the robot, was as alive as Tachi could be
Tachi was full of sarcasm and spite
And watched bad movies late at night
Just the same as you and me.
Tachi the robot,
Layed in that scrap heap
For a month or three
Under a SUV
Waiting to be recycled into a jeep.
IJ Dee-Vo with his friend J.R. stopped by
With a steady hand
And magnetic crane parked on sand
They fished Tachi out with one try
They took Tachi to J.R.'s machine shop for restoration
They finished fixing Tachi up then had a celebration!
Tachi the Robot loudly so all me hear,
Synthed "Vengence shall be mine."
"I'll just bide my time "
"You can all masicate my shiney metallic rear!"
Gringing gring gring
Grinding gring grind
Look at Tachi's gears
Grinding grind grind
Grinding grind grind
Getting louder as it nears!
IJ Dee-Vo: So how was it?"
Tachi: EPIC!
Sock Monkey: NO08
IJ Dee-Vo: What is wrong?

IJ Dee-Vo: Now now...that red rear has actually come in quite handy...let me tell you a story.
Tachi: Is IT A GREAT AS THE LAST ONE?
Sock Monkey: I5 |T A5 8A|)?
You know King Kong, and Mighty Joe Young, and Magilla,
Doctor Zaues, Professor Bobo, and Koko the Gorilla,
But do you recall
The most famouse primate of all?
Sock Monkey The red-reared Code Monkey
Had a butt that was bright red
And that red end had more
Smarts then are in your head!
All of the other coders
Use to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Sock Monkey
Join in first person shooter games.
Then one working Holiday eve
Santa came to say:
"Sock Monkey with your butt so red,"
"Won't you replace the broken tail lights on my sled?"
He wound up living at IJ Studios
Where he was greeted with glee!
Sock Monkey The red-reared Code Monkey
You'll go down in history!
IJ Dee-Vo: Well how was that?

They flood you in their light
You rise up to the mother ship
Where they take you on a trip
U-oo F Os
Keep watching the skies
U-oo F Os
Keep watching the skies
There is nothing you can do
They experiment on you
They get out a glowing probe
You'll find out it's really cold
U-oo F Os
Keep watching the skies U-oo F Os
Keep watching the skies
They stick a chip in your brain
And promise to see you again
They hover above the ground
Where thet set you back down
U-oo F Os
Keep watching the skies
U-oo F Os
Keep watching the skies

Tachi: SEE I TOLD YOU!
Have yourself a P.C. Generic holiday
One that is comercialized
Until it's history is no longer relized
Have yourself a P.C. generic holiday
That is culture free
So that it no longer offends anybody
Our tradations from the olden days
Become a golden haze, a blur
As we drop some ways and merge with others
Till they are no bothers, their meanings obscured
Soon we will have a holiday without purpose,
Except to spend money on things
Just so we can avoid offending
Have a comercialized pc generic holiday expending
IJ Dee-Vo: Goodnight everyone, we hoped you enjoyed this as much as we did!
The Turkeys face is red,
Cut it off now it's dead
Pluck it nude
Take out the guts and cook till it's food
Sit around the table
Eat as much as you are able
Make a wish on it's collar bone
Then it's remains are thrown
Away
Happy Thanksgiving Day!
Tachi: THAT WAS TRUELY...TMI.
IJ Dee-Vo: Should we go on to PC and Mac?
Tachi: YES AND YOU OWE ME FOR NOT INCLUDING ME IN THE FEAST.
IJ Dee-Vo: You were plugged in, so quit complaining. Now on to those best of friends.
Hip 30/40 year old: Hello I'm a PC.
Burnt out 20 year old: Smokes ...something "I'm...a....watch you call it...
PC: Mac
Mac: Yeah, whatever.
PC : Oh Great, My camera isn't working.
Mac: What you to?
PC: Well I'll send it to get fix..there.
Mac: Me too.
PC: Well time to check out my fan mail.
Mac: Wait you can't do that!
PC: Of course can, I'm doing it right now.
Mac: Tha's imppossible, you sent your camera in so you cant check your email.
PC: Wait, why would that prevent me from looking at my e-mail?
Mac: SPlah! Cause if your camera goes to the shop, you don't have a monitor to look at.
PC: WHat, Why? Those are two separate perpihials.
Mac: No they arn't, they are integrated together.
PC: Mine arn't. Most of my devices are separate.
Mac: Really? That is stupid. You must have a rats nest of cables to worry about and computer parts everywhere.
PC: And if something goes wrong, I only lose that funtion, I still have everything else working.
Mac: Right Instead of losing multiple capibilities like me...HEY!
PC: You said it, I didn't.
Mac: Say PC, may I check my e-mail after your done?
PC: Of course, after I'm done with my 100,000 fan letters.
Mac: I get twice that each month!
PC: Oh this is from today.
And now for that saddest part of our updates.

Hip 30/40 year old: Hello I'm a PC.
Burnt out 20 year old: Smokes ...something "I'm...a....watch you call it...
PC: Mac
Mac: Yeah, whatever.
PC: Hey Mac remember when we got our universal serial buses?
Mac: It wasn't fair?
PC: What wasn't?
Mac: I had firewire.
PC: Yah, and I had USB.
Mac: Exactly, Intel made USB.
PC: And?
Mac: They make motherboards.
PC: And?
Mac: So That means they put their interfaces together with their motherboards.
PC: And what is wrong with that?
Mac: I wanted them to put my interface with their products, how dare they! Now USB is more popular then firewire. Its not fair! I want everthing to be my way, not the way people want to do their things their own way!
PC: What a n0ob.
Finally now we leave off with those that will not be with us for next month.

Hip 30/40 year old: Hello I'm a PC.
Burnt out 20 year old: Smokes ...something "I'm...a....watch you call it...
PC: Mac
Mac: Yeah, whatever.
PC: Hi Mac, WHat are you doing?
Mac: I'm listening to my iPod. It has 160 GB of memory, WHat are you doing?
PC: I'm listening to my Zune. It has 120 GB of memory.
Mac: Hah! I have 40 GB more then you. I also have a 2.5 inch 320 by 240 pixel color screen!
PC: Wow taht is pretty decent, I have a 3.2 inch 320 by 240 pixel color screen.
Mac: Well my display can show 65536 colors!
PC: Wow Mac that is quite a bit, not as much as my 262,144 colors.
Mac Well I have 36 hours worth of battery life.
PC: That is sweet. I have 30.
Mac: HAH Booyah!
PC: How's your reception?
Mac: My...what?
PC: Your radio reception.
Mac: This is an mp3 player, not a walkman.
PC: Pity, I can listen to it on my Zune.
Mac: Well, I still have 40 gig more then you and um, 6 more hours of battery life.
PC: ANd that is pretty neat. So har far do you have to be before your ipod wirelessly links up to your computer?
Mac: What are you talking about? It plugs into a dock through firewire.
PC: Well that is ok. Not like my Zune that links up through my wifi network at 30 feet away. No wires to have to deal with.
Mac: Well I still...wait...what is that!
Penquin: Wark!
PC: What is he doing?
Mac: It looks like he's listenting to something.
Penguin: Wark.
PC: Le's take a look at this.
Mac: It's a mp3 player
PC: It has 320 GBs of memory!
Mac: It has a 7 inch 800 by 480 pixel coolor touch screen display!
PC: It's displaying 16 million colors!
Mac: It has 39 hopurs of battery life! Why would anyone want that much operating time?
PC: It does have...wifi
Mac: And..internet connectivity. Even my ipod touch doesnt have this guy's 320 GB.
PC: Well, it doesn't have a big businees brandname.
Penguin: Wark.
PC: What does it say on it?
Mac: Archos.
PC: Um, Wow...320 GB.....
MAC: Huge touch screen...
PC: Internet...
PC+Mac: GIVE THAT TO ME YOU STUPID BIRD!
Penguin: Wark!
A funny thing happened to me this month.
TACHI: HURRY ITS ABOUT TO START!
IJ Dee-Vo: I'm coming, no way I'm going miss this weeks line up of top television viewing!
You are thinking about reading
A book during Spring break
The television you are leaving
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the screen around you
Enough channels to make eyes sore
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?
Must watch TV
Must Watch TV
You don't need imagination
When you're at this Station
Take it from me
Readers are bound to the same book all day
Turning pages as they slave away
While we are chill'n
To simple time kill'n
Must watch TV.
Right here the people are happy
As off through the channles they surf
The people behind books arn't happy
They sad 'as they read on the turf
Readers may think they are lucky
They in for a worser fate
They don'y get moving pictures aw-shucky
With endless words that won't abate!
Must watch TV
Must Watch TV
Don't need your brain
Let it go down the drain
Take it from me
We watched in half an hour what it took
A day what readers would need in a book
To answear all our wishes
We just need cables and dishes
Must watch TV
Must Watch TV
We got reality shows
And Music Videos
Viewtifully
Even the bookworm an' geek,
See the screen an' stay a week
Each show is a hit
You got to view it
Must watch tv.
Each Game Show is a go
Every Sitcom is da bomb
Love the Reality and the Varity
Those Nelsons know what's going on!
CSIs cut through the lies
The Morning News cannot lose
And Talk Shows You cant say no at all!
(Yeah)
Music Videos know how to flow
How-tos give skilz to use
Pay-per-View always has something new
Movie-on-Demand lets you choose
Each transmission and Broadcast
We wish would last
And we anticipate those new shows each fall!
Must watch TV
Must Watch TV
every single night
We see such a sight
It's extasy
What do books got: Boring words
We got explosions and pirates with swords
Every scene here
Keeps you glued here
Must watch tv
Each little star here
Has no par here
Must watch TV
Each actor that plays here
Is a factor to watch here
Thats why books can't compare
To a screen you can stare
Yah we're in luck here
On a couch stuck here
Must watch tv
-Ding Dong- IJ Dee-Vo: Great when ever I sit down to watch TV. Lets see whats goin on Camera 12. WHat's this? There are a couple of guys out there, I'll go see what they want.

Dr. Malice: Good good, we are here about your application to the our guild.
IJ Dee-Vo: My...application..I don't remember applying for anything.
Dr. Malice: Oh goodness, you don't apply for an application, The counsle of mad scientists review canidates, and if they think one shows promise, they send representatives to do a final evaluation, before the canidate is officially indocterated.
IJ Dee-Vo: I see, I think, and I'm a canidate?
Dr. Malice: Yes now may we tour your facilies?
IJ Dee-Vo: Wow you should have cauld first, I would have picked up around the place.
Dr. Malice: Noncesnse, a true mad scientist must be one at every moment.
IJ Dee-Vo: ARe you sure you didn't get me mixed up with someone else?
Dr. Malice: We don't make mistakes no lets go.
IJ Dee-Vo: Well this is the place.
Dr. Malice: So you set up shop in an abndoned missle silo. Good Good! Does it still have any missles left?
IJ Dee-Vo: Actually yes we do.
Dr. Malice: Excellent, so if anyone doesn't give in to your demands you can rain radioactive death from above.
IJ Dee-Vo: Heres the nuclear reactor.
Dr. Malice: Good, complete energy independence from the grid, thatw ay no one can shut you down before you activate your death ray.
IJ Dee-Vo: Suuuurre.....moving on, the fisheriey and hydroponic garden.
Dr. Malice: So you can't be strved out.
IJ Dee-Vo: Air recyclinng, waste treatmnet, incenerator, water treatmant, ect.
Dr. Malice: So you don't need the outside world for anything, important to help seclude yourself in isolation, to fuel your superiorty complex.
IJ Dee-Vo: Well here is our fuel silo, where he have hundres of thousands of good ole fasioned fossil fuels..and this is where we keep our super computer.
Dr Malice: Ok, eveything looks in order.
IJ Dee-Vo: This is the work shop, lathe, cnc, santa clause machine, laser cutter, welding touch....
Dr. Malice: To build your machines of death and oppresion....
IJ Dee-Vo: Yahhhhh....Our Vault....
Dr. Malice: WHere you keep your most evil and valuable possions...
IJ Dee-Vo: Actually...yes.
IJ Dee-Vo: ANd here is the heart of IJ Studios where I put together playlists more or less weekly and send them to live365 to be heard by millions to dozens of people all around the world.
Dr. Malice: With your mind control subliminal messages cleaverly disquised. WHat a devious creaton you are..MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
IJ Dee-Vo: This is the communications silo, where we have our anteena for transmitting, reciving, and radar.
Dr. Malice: I think I've seen enough, your fortess seems to fit all the requirements..now what about Henchmen?
IJ Dee-Vo: Henchmen..what about them?
Dr. Malice: Henchemen, to do your dirty work, work that you need down but is way to below you to perform, so you outsorce it to lesser individuals, usually with some sort of defect or...physicall oddity and are the reciever of your wrath when things don't turn out your way, like my associate Steel Jaw here.
IJ Dee-Vo: Hey guys come here a second!
NOO!!! We are watching TV.
IJ Dee-Vo: Come here or no waffles for a month!
Fine!!!
Dr. Malice: Good, exerting control over them through threats.
Tachi: THIS BETTER BE GOOD, THIS IS MUST WATCH TV.
IJ Dee-Vo: This guy wanted to meet you all. This IS Tachi, my cohost, and generally, meets the brunt end of Halloween related disaters, but after some assembly is required, is back in action.
Dr. Malice: Ah an evil killbot, most excellent, what else you got?
Tachi: WELL THIS IS ONE MINUTE I"M NOT GETTING BACK, I'M OUT OF HERE.
IJ Dee-Vo: Errr This is Sock Monkey, He uh does all of the IT stuff, html coding, stuff like that.
Sock Monkey: ThI5 !5 Why I'M |\/||$$|/\/g 7hE OpEN1Ng CRED1+5, jUST S0 y0\_/ CAN 5h0\/\/ |\/|E 0|=F 7O +h!$ |\|O0|3? L@TER.
Dr. Malice: Aw a monkey, to hone your experimenting skills on before moving on to human subjects very good.
IJ Dee-Vo: Hmmmm yah...This is Little Mouth, Little Mouth um, can take a lot of abuse and keep coming back for more.
Little Mouth:
Dr. Malice: Can take a lot of abuse, heh, a good trait in a henchman, I may have to test that out later.
IJ Dee-Vo bangs a broken pipe and a tentacle emerges from it: This is Timmy the tentacle monster who does...odd jobs.
Dr. Malice: A tentacle monster well now, that will earn you extra.
IJ Dee-Vo: Ok.
Dr. Malice: Now just one last thing, It's just a formality, but I have to gove some of your personal qualifications.
IJ Dee-Vo: Ok, lets go.
Dr. Malice: Now is it true you escaped from a mental hospital?
IJ Dee-Vo: Yes, it was a bit ago now but thats pretty much where I come into this story.
Dr. Malice: This is indeed most excellent, Being certified mad really helps your position, that you escaped means you never finished your treatment to become....a respectable member of society.
IJ Dee-Vo: Thank you...I think.
Dr. Malice: Now acording to our files, you have a titanium endoskeleton? Having some type of physical parcularity is often found in those of our stature.
IJ Dee-Vo: Yes I do
Dr. Malice: I also see you have on a rather interesting outfit. That makes you highly visible and establishes yourself as a freewheeling individual, with total disrequard to the rules.
IJ Dee-Vo" That or it's laundry day.
Dr. Malice: Now that about does it, though there is one more thing, that name of yours.
IJ Dee-Vo: What's is wrong with it?
Dr. Malice: You may want to have something more menencing. Also adding, something like professor, or doctor, or master coouldn't hurt. Well you could always write it in your certificate of endoctritnation once you get it in the mail. Just something you may want to think about. After all when you anounce to the world your intentions, you want the nations to be stricken by fear by your omnipresence. Well Take care, we'll get back intouch with you soon.
IJ Dee-Vo: Bye....hmm Doctor Phe4r....Professor Pwn....Master 1337....Hey guys guys what it appears I'm a mad scientist!
Tachi: WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU'VE COME OUT OF THE CLOSET AND PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED WHAT THE WORLD HAS KNOW FOR YEARS, NOW COME WATCH TV.

Well thats it for this month. Remember next month is Arcober! Where we go to Arcon. Also all you epic do0ds out there, you better pwn all the no0bs you can, September is the last month of No0b pwning season!
Mac Stands in a theater the seats filled with people with a blank empty stare on their faces directed towards the large screen behind Mac.
Screen: Mac is the only choice. Mac products are the only choice. You will buy from us, pay what we tell you to pay, do what we tell you do, say what we tell you to say. Do not think for yourshelves, do not look at any other computer products. We will do all the thinking for you!
PC comes running into the theater with a sledgehamer!
Mac: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
PC hurls the sledgehammer at the screen, shattering it in a rain of sparks and glass over Mac!
The people start to come out of it shaking the heads, blinking and rubbing their eyes.
Person stands up: "I'm free....
2nd Person Stands up: I'm Free...
3rd Person stands up: We are all free...PC Has freed us from the evil brain washing of Mac!
All the people Stand up: PC! PC ! PC!
Mac: NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
PC: You are now free to decide what computer you want, what hardware you want, what software you want. Go now and tell the world!
Tachi: DID IT START YET?
Sock Monkey: NO |\|OT yET.
IJ Dee-Vo: Hey did I miss anything?
Tachi: NO YOU HAVN'T.
Sock Monkey: WhA7 !5 +hA7?
Tachi: IT LOOKS LIKE THE CHILD OF THE SMOKEY THE BEAR AND A GELANTENOUS CUBE!
IJ Dee-Vo: You are close. It's a giant Gummy bear!
Sock Monkey: 17'5 hUg3!
Tachi: WHERE DID YOU BUY IT?
IJ Dee-Vo: I Made it.
Sock Monkey: FR0|\/| SCR@+(h?
IJ Dee-Vo: Goodness no that would be stupid.
Tachi: HOW DID YOU MAKE IT THEN?
IJ Dee-Vo: I bought 7744 gummie bears. I then made a mold in the appropriate size and shape, melted them, poured them in and allowed it to cool.
Sock Monkey: \/\/h'/?
IJ Dee-Vo: I thought it would be good to snack on as we watch this.
Tachi: IT HAS TO WEIGH 44 POUNDS, AND HAVE 110800 CALORIES!
IJ Dee-Vo: Well I figured it would be neat to have a gummy bear, the size of an actual gummie bear.
Sock Monkey: IT'S ST/-\|2+1/\/g!
Stupid and ignorant,
Their brain igsnificant,
Empty headed ursas,
With a vacant stare.
Unable to comprehend,
The simplest comand,
Skipping along,
As their song fills the air.
Dummy bears!!
Foolish, dimwitted, and unaware.
Ingorance that's beyond compare.
They are the Dummy bears.
Dense, incredibily dull,
Obtuse and unbelivably slow,
Because of their addiction,
To dummiberry juice.
Their neurons are slowing,
While their idiocy is growing,
They'll fail in every detail,
In whatever they do.
Dummy bears!!
Foolish, dimwitted, and unaware.
Ingorance that's beyond compare.
They are the Dummy bears.
They are the Dummy bears!!

IJ Dee-Vo: Power lines seem to have been brocken free. It looks like they are touching the metal grating on the floor. I can't walk on that. I hate getting electrozapped. What can I do? Not only that but I have no one here to talk to but myself, so I would sound crazy if I started to do that. I can't go back though and admit defeat. I must find away. I will find away because there is no choice then to do so. Thats it. Here me world I shall go foreward and not look back! Here I go..wait I can't walk on the floor. Well I better find away quick, with no one to interact with, this section of the story is pretty dull, so I may as well make it short. Hey I can use those pipes above to cross. I can just about reach them, If I jump and grab...there now to move hand over hand thus allowing me to cross...There I got it. Now I just have to go through this hatch and I'm home free!

IJ Dee-Vo: Well all the world's troubles are all behind me, and there it is B.C.E.T.T.M!!! and there it is, in all of it's glory. As shiney and as red as the combination of Tachi's and Sock Monkey's persective posteriors, and as big as Little Mouth, the reset button! Time to reset the world! Or at least IJ Studios!
"": Not so fast!
IJ Dee-Vo: Um ok.
"": Hey I didn't mean to do it slowly I ment stop!
IJ Dee-Vo: Well if that's what you ment, then you should have said it. If you don't say what you mean how can you expect anyone to know what you are talking about? I'm not a mind reader.
"": Err well I guess that is a valid point.
IJ Dee-Vo: Ok then I'll just press the reset switch.
"": Stop!
IJ Dee-Vo: Ok. See now wasn't that easy?
"":Yes.
IJ Dee-Vo: Hey...Who are you, what's going on, how did you get in, are you responsible for all this?

IJ Dee-Vo: All of this, the false alarm, all the obstacles, you did it all didn't you.
"":Yes and I am quite proud of it. You know you really should thank me.
IJ Dee-Vo: Thank you, for what?
"": You're so very welcome. For going all this trouble just for you. I normally don't put so much effort into messing with people's lives. But you and your friends proved to me that you all demanaded the very best so I arranaged all these obstacles, and you still got through. Wait you shouldn't thank me you should apologize. I don't move the stars for anyone and yet you still made all my hard work for nothing.
IJ Dee-Vo: I'm sorry. Really you did a wonderful job. We almost didn't make it. Wow we really appreciate that someone has worked so hard just for us.

IJ Dee-Vo: Yah. It's rare that anyone puts in such an effort.

IJ Dee-Vo: What ever. Now time to set things right here.
IJ Dee-Vo: And that's how it happened. We got the intruder out, we took back IJ Studios, set everything right, got Sock Monkey off the lever, Tachi out of the fan, and Little Mouth's tongue unstuck.
Tachi: UNFORTUNATLY.

IJ Dee-Vo: IJ Dee-Vo.
JR: Who?
IJ Dee-Vo: It's me your friend IJ Dee-Vo.
JR: Naw it couldn't be, he'd call before comming and sure wouldn't be here this late waking me up
IJ Dee-Vo: Ya well, my bad.
JR: Hold on, I'm coming down. Waking me up in the middle of the night, it better be good.
-Door Opens-
IJ Dee-Vo: Hi JR how are you?
JR: Well until a few moments ago, things were fine till someone woke me up.
IJ Dee-Vo: Yah, people can be so inconciderate at times.
JR: Tell me about it.
IJ Dee-Vo: Well for example at the store one time...
JR: I didn't mean it literally, so what brings you to my door at this hour?
IJ Dee-Vo: IJ Studios nuclear reactor finally experienced a meltdown and we just barly avoided becoming nightlights and well, we need a place to stay.
JR: And you woke me up to tell me this because why?
IJ Dee-Vo: Seeing how we are such good friends I figured you would naturally be happy to recieve us at any time of day.
JR: Right....
IJ Dee-Vo: ANd so here we are!
JR: Right...
IJ Dee-Vo: SO just show us where we can camp out and we'll unload our stuff.
JR: Is this a joke?
IJ Dee-Vo: Oh I wish it was.
JR: How about a hotel?
IJ Dee-Vo: Too expensive,
JR: Motel?
IJ Dee-Vo: Too expensive
JR: Overnight parking?
IJ Dee-Vo: We didn't have time to grab any cash, with the whole nuclear holocaust about to engulf us.
JR: How about just parking at the side of the road, did you consider that?
IJ Dee-Vo: If we did that, people whould stop too see if we were in some kind of trouble and we whouldn't want to impose on them.
JR: Because it would be rude to impose yourself on others.
IJ Dee-Vo: Exactly.
JR mumbles: Fine I suppose you can stay for tonight. I have room in my garage you can use.
IJ Dee-Vo: Thanks JR, It was nice of you to let us crash in your garage till we find a place to settle down.
JR: It's no problem, anything for a friend. Hey, don't sleep on the CNC.
Little Mouth:
JR: Hey! That's for the racoons.
IJ Dee-Vo: We'll try to make this stay as short as possible, you won't even know that we were here.
Tachi: HEY LOOK WHAT I FOUND, CANDLES, NOW WE CAN LIGHT THE PLACE UP AT NIGHT.
JR: Those aren't candles,Tey're solid fuel rocket engines!
Tachi: YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING BEFORE I LIT THEM.
JR:It's just for one night, only for a night.
-3 months later-
IJ Dee-Vo: Wow who'd ever thought our one night stay would last three months?
Tachi: I DON'T THINK YOUR FRIEND WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE HE WOULD HAVE TURNED US AWAY.
IJ Dee-Vo: Aw JR wouldn't do that, I'm sure he likes us being around.
TACHI: THEN WHY DOES HE KEEP FIRING POTATOS AT US?
IJ Dee-Vo: Naw, that's just a coinincidence! Hey Sock Monkey, What's up?

JR: Surprised about what?
IJ Dee-Vo: Well it seems that IJ Studios didn't blow up after all.
JR:...
IJ Dee-Vo: I don't blame you being speechless, it is good news.
JR: ...
IJ Dee-Vo: Saddly this marks the end of our stay with you. Thank you you've been a wonderful host.
JR: Gee how will I get by without you?
IJ Dee-Vo: Don't be that way, I'm sure you'll find away, besides we can allways visit you.
JR: Now don't trouble yourself it's ok, really.
IJ Dee-Vo: It's no trouble at all, once we set things in order we'll pay a visit.
JR: Take your time, don't hurry on my account, you don't want to make any mistakes.
IJ Dee-Vo: Aww you allways have the best interests of others before yours.
JR: Yahhh...others, now go, I'm sure your listeners are all just waiting for you!
IJ Dee-Vo: Hear that everyone one, time to load up and roll out!
JR: Let me help, it will go faster!
IJ Dee-Vo: Bye JR!
Tachi: BYE JR.
Sock Monkey: By3 JR.
Little Mouth:
JR: Finally, I'd though they'd never leave. Wait a second, what's this, they left me a cake well, I guess it wasn't all bad having them around. They even have candels on it. Wait those aren't candles. Those are solid fuel rocket engines!
-Somewhere on an open stretch of highway-

IJ Dee-Vo: Having a faulty nuclear reactor is annoying, but a faulty alarm system is just not allowable.
Tachi: STILL IT IS ODD THAT IT FAILED ALL OF THE SUDDEN. IT NEVER DID THAT BEFORE.
IJ Dee-Vo: I rather it failed by telling that there is a meltdown when there isn't then have it not telling there is a meltdown when there is.
-meanwhile at IJ Studios-
"": Hahahahaha this past three months have been great. Now that IJ Studios is mine, I can play what I want, whenever I want at all times, and noone can stop me! Hahahaha. Next up, I think I will play country music!
IJ Dee-Vo: Oh my, will we take back IJ Studios in time to prevent such a disaster?

Hip 30/40 year old: Hello I'm a PC.
Burnt out 20 year old: Smokes ...something "I'm...a....watch you call it...
PC: Mac
Mac: Yeah, whatever.
PC: Hello Mac, I came as soon as you called. What's wrong?
Mac falls on his knees sobbing: PC please please stop telling others the truth!
PC: WHat?
Mac: Telling everyone that they if they can find a powerful computer for under 700 dollars they can have it.
PC What's wrong with that?
Mac: The only halfway decent computer for that price is a PC, A mac half that powerful costs twice that much!
PC: Well what if you lower your cost?
Mac: Fine I will.
PC: Good for you.
Mac: There I knocked of 100 dollars.
PC: Wait...that still is pretty expensive.
Mac: Well anyway, please stop. It's not fair you can tell the truth...
PC: Why not? Mac: Because Only I am allowed to say things that makes me seem better, even if I have to lie about it.
PC: What a frigg'n Noob.
Anyway We watched the Transformers evenege of the fallen. I imagine a lot of the critics do not get Transformers beyond the alien robots that change into vehicles. Sure there could have been some changes but it was pretty good. After that we watched a blatent rip off of the series. and well this is what happened.

Hi there IJ Dee-Vo,
Thanks for checking out my music - I really appreciate it. Your station and webzine are really cool. Btw, I'm originally from Alton, Illinois. My brother and his family live in Eureka, wot a coinkydink -
Thanks again,
Soren
Hey Soren,
First off thank you for checking out the IJ Studios website. Our code monkey will be quite pleased to hear that you liked his work. Really, that is pretty close. Right at our doorstep practically. Thank you for the music.
At times I consider closing up the whole myspace thing. Other then artists, the only people who check me out just seem to want me to increase their friend count. I doubt any of them know I own a station. Is there anything else I can do to help you out?
Achieve all your goals,
IJ Dee-Vo

And last but not least, Analog Television.
Analog (or analogue) television encodes television picture and sound information and transmits it as an analog signal: one in which the message conveyed by the broadcast signal is a function of deliberate variations in the amplitude and/or frequency of the signal. All systems preceding digital television, such as NTSC, PAL or SECAM are analog television systems.
Broadcasters using analog television systems encode their signal using NTSC, PAL or SECAM analog encoding and then modulate this signal onto a VHF or UHF carrier. An analog television picture is "drawn" on the screen an entire frame each time, in the manner of a motion picture (cinematograph) film, irrespective of the picture content.
Analog television technology
A rooftop television antenna, specifically designed to receive analog broadcasts.Analog television, like all other motion picture systems, exploits the properties of the human eye to create the illusion of moving images. The human eye retains an image for a fraction of a second, which is called "persistence of vision". Due to the persistence of vision effect, a rapid sequence of images will be perceived as an integrated moving image. If the rate of frames is too low, the sequence of images is not intuitively linked by the brain, causing the illusion of animation to be lost. The common frame rate of 24 frames per second, (which superseded more experimental frame rates during the sound revolution of the late 1920s) is used for motion pictures to create a smooth moving image. When the American television standards were developed, 30 Hz was chosen as the frame rate, modified to 29.97 Hz when color was introduced. Systems used in Europe have a frame rate of 25 frames per second.
When on screen images are bright, the persistence of vision effect does not last as long, which means that more frames have to be projected per second. Motion picture projectors resolve this problem by using shutters. Since shutters cannot be used for televisions, television engineers increased the repetition rate to two "flashes" per frame by interlacing and scanning a single frame twice. These interlacing repeated frames do come at a cost, and in some cases, the repeated frames cause aberrations such as serrations on the edge of moving objects, misalignment, interline flicker, or a shimmering effect.
In black and white television based on a cathode ray tube (CRT), a single electron beam scans a phosphor screen from left to right and then returns to the top. The electron beam is brightness-modulated to create intensity changes which cause the different shades of grey. Analog television equipment has been manufactured using alternative forms of display, such as LCD, but the picture display is still updated a frame at a time in the same manner as the flying-spot CRT.
To support color signals contained in the broadcast, a color synchronization signal called a "color burst" is added to the basic black and white information. When color television was introduced, engineers ensured that black and white televisions would still be able to display signals that were broadcast in color. To do this, the original monochrome information is still transmitted in the color signal, and then the color difference information is added on top.
Analog broadcast television systems comes in a variety of frame rates and resolutions. Further differences exist in the frequency and modulation of the audio carrier. The monochrome combinations still existing in the 1950s are standardized by the ITU as capital letters A through N. When color television was introduced, the hue and saturation information was added to the monochrome signals in a way that black & white televisions ignore. This way backwards compatibility was achieved. That concept is true for all analog television standards.
However there are three standards for the way the additional color information can be encoded and transmitted. The first was the American NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) color television system. The European PAL (Phase Alternation Line rate) and the French-Former Soviet Union SECAM (Séquentiel Couleur Avec Mémoire) standard were developed later and attempt to cure certain defects of the NTSC system. PAL's color encoding is similar to the NTSC systems. SECAM, though, uses a different modulation approach than PAL or NTSC.
In principle all three color encoding systems can be combined with any of the scan line/frame rate combinations. Therefore, in order to describe a given signal completely, it's necessary to quote the color system and the broadcast standard as capital letter. For example the United States uses NTSC-M, the UK uses PAL-I, France uses SECAM-L, much of Western Europe uses PAL-B/G, most of Eastern Europe uses PAL-D/K or SECAM-D/K and so on.
However not all of these possible combinations actually exist. NTSC is currently only used with system M, even though there were experiments with NTSC-A (405 line) and NTSC-I (625 line) in the UK. PAL is used with a variety of 625-line standards (B,G,D,K,I) but also with the North American 525-line standard, accordingly named PAL-M. Likewise, SECAM is used with a variety of 625-line standards.
For this reason many people refer to any 625/25 type signal as "PAL" and to any 525/30 signal as "NTSC", e ven when referring to digital signals, e.g. on DVD-Video which don't contain any analog color encoding, thus no PAL or NTSC signals at all. Even though this usage is common, it's misleading as that is not the original meaning of the terms PAL/SECAM/NTSC.
Digital
Many countries have, or have decided to, cease analog transmissions to switch to digital broadcasting — this is generally referred to as Digital switchover. In the United States, analog transmission was scheduled to end on February 17, 2009. However, on February 4 Congress voted to delay analog shutdown until June 12, 2009. In Canada, it will cease on August 31, 2011.
In Honor of it's passing, we at IJ Studios pay tribute to it's life and times the only way we know how.
from set to set and from each single channel.
You had a good run, but progress advances on,
It's time for you to go and I must handle.
But your space will not be an empty void,
Of blank screen or harsh loud static with snow.
Though, Digitial signals will then be employed,
Oh analog, oh analog I'll miss you so.
But the digital stations will be crystal clear,
And the amount of channles will increase.
Old technology no matter how dear,
When replaced by a new, will simply cease.
And when I watch, all the new shows,
I will think back warmly to thee,
And in my heart I will allways know,
That it was all started by thee.
IJ Dee-Vo: sniff sniff. Tachi, push the button.
The month..woo-ho!
Got a new comming up,
So enjoy and drink from a cup.
We are just as happy as can be,
We now have added listeners making it 193!
We have a new song,
You can sing it all day long!
A lizrd from the other side of the world,
Fools others into thinking it's a girl.
In the depths of our flooded section we discovered,
A carnivious Sea Squirt living in the water.
A ten story rock hurtling through space,
Just missed hitting the Earth in it's face.
We all give a big hoot,
For a day dedicated to the square root!
We discovered Saturn has been hiding something,
A tiny moon tucked inside it's ring!
An 840 pound emerald is in a plight,
As people in court over it fight.
Bill Gates made his home,
Forbiden territory to the iPhone.
We celebrate a most woburlous day,
Dr Seuss celebrated his birthday!
That is why we have rhymed what's new,
We enjoyed it how about you?
1. Comming up is new.
2. Song page is updated.
3. PC vs. Mac is updated.
4. Stats is updated!
5. We have two new listeners that makes 190!
6. We caught yet another strange creature from deep within the watery depths.
7. Hello, goodbye. 8. We have some disturbing news!
9. We declare our independence!
10. Yet another sad note.
11. Oh ya, what's new is updated!
Well we thought we have seen all the strange things there is to see in IJ Studios, till we fished this thing up out of the water. Look at this thing
It's a psychedelica, which has a gelatinous fist-sized body covered with thick folds of skin that protect it from sharp-edged corals, also has a flat face with eyes directed forward, like humans, and a huge, yawning mouth. Each time the fish strike the seabed, for instance, they push off with their fins and expel water from tiny gill openings to jet themselves forward. That, and an off-centered tail, causes them to bounce around in a bizarre, chaotic manner. It is a member of the antennariid genus, Histiophryne, and like other frogfish, has fins on both sides of its body that have evolved to be leg-like. How did it get here? We don't know.
What is big, and green, and backwards? No it's Bizzaro Hulk, its a strange comet that is coming close to Earth on a quick visit before it leaves the solar system. Forever!
The odd, greenish backward-flying comet is zipping by Earth this month, as it takes its only trip toward the sun from the farthest edges of the solar system. The comet is called Lulin, and there's a chance it can be seen with the naked eye — far from city lights, astronomers say. But you'll most likely need a telescope, or at least binoculars, to spot it. The best opportunity is just before dawn one-third of the way up the southern sky. It should be near Saturn and two bright stars, Spica and Regula. On Monday at 10:43 p.m. EST, it will be 38 million miles from Earth, the closest it will ever get, according to Donald Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near Earth Object program. The story behind the comet is more intriguing than its appearance — the greenish tinge may be hard for many to discern. The color comes from a type of carbon and cyanogen, a poisonous gas. Lulin was discovered by a Chinese teenager two years ago. It still has many of its original gases — gases that are usually stripped away as comets near the sun. Unlike most comets viewable from Earth, this one hasn't been this close to the sun before. While all the planets and most of the other objects in the solar system circle the sun counterclockwise, Lulin circles clockwise. And thanks to an optical illusion, from Earth it appears as if the comet's tail is in the front as the comet approaches Earth and the sun. It essentially is going backwards through the solar system. It came from the outskirts of the solar system, 18 trillion miles away. Once it's made the journey around the sun, Lulin will gain enough speed to escape the solar system.
Now for some really bad news. This concerns our dear friend Sock Monkey! Congress has banned the movement of nonhuman primates across the stateline! Which means all monkeys, apes, and leamurs must now stay within their state boundries! Saddly that will impact the annual trek of code monkeys like our dear Sock Monkey to FragFest were they pwn n0obs.

And now for the really sad news everyone. Still struck hard by the lost of Cinder, the St. Louis Zoo has suffered yet another death.
Muchana
Muchana, a male Western Lowlands Gorilla who was born on 23-Jun-2000 at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio, met a tragic death on February 28 2009 when he was discovered by St. Louis Zoo keepers entangled in a rope in his sleeping quarters. Muchana apperently managed to pull the braid apart and get his head caught in it. Both gorillas and zoo keepers alike mourn this, their secocond ape tradgedy. His mother Jumoke, died in 2007 due to complications from pregnency. He is survived by a father, Anakka, and two siblings, Jontu and Kambera Dupe.
February...trually a tragic day for primates in Missouri.
J.R.R. Tolkien may be dead for over 3 decades, but that isn't an obstacle when it comes to his career as he gets a new book published thanks to HarperCollins. It is a retelling in English narrative verse of the epic Norse tales of Sigurd the Völsung and the Fall of the Niflungs abtly titled, "The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun". Despite it being published for the first time by the dead author, he managed to write it retroactivly before his infamous "The Hobbit." While he was professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University during the 1920s and '30s. Mr. Tolkien, we bow down before you. Truelly there is no author higher.
Well you remember the strange creature we pulled up out of the depths of IJ Studios last week? Well the mutations are at it again as we managed to hook a trually bizar creature. A transparent headed fish like a fighter jet cockpit, with eyes that are actally incased in the head that can look up, or foreward. The lenses are bright green! Here's a picture.
Pretty bizzare isnt it?
Finally on a much sadder note, one that has gotten our good friend Sock Monkey all in a mess, is the death of the St. Louis' Zoo hairless chimpanzee Cinder.
Cinder
Birth.
Cinder was born to Mollie and Smoke on August 9 1994 at the St. Louis Zoo.
Life
Early Years
Though normal looking at birth, covered with hair, she began lossing it at the age of 5 months, losing it all at the age of 1. A team of veterinary and medical doctors worked hard to dignostic, and hopefully treat her condition but to no avail. Cinder was diagnosed with alopecia areata, which is a highly unpredictable, autoimmune skin disease resulting in the loss of hair on the scalp and elsewhere on the body. Cinder, other then having no hair was otherwise medically sound in health, and unlike with humans, wasn't treated differently from the other Chimpanzees. Cinder had several foster sibvlings, including Hugo, Mlinzi, Jimiyu, Holly, Bakhari, and Tammy.
Later Years
Mother's Death.
In 2004 Mollie became sick and had to be euthanizedat the age of 37.
Going Outside.
Cinder went outside for the first time in her life when the exhibit Fragile Forest opened up. Though relunctant, her father had managed to coax her out into a new, and larger world. All of the chimpanzees will get tan from being outside. Hairless areas such as their faces will become chocolate-colored; Cinder just happens to have a larger area with no hair. Already her white skin is getting darker.
Death.
Cinder died ona Sunady afternoon on February 15 2009 at the young age of 14.
Sunday started out as another normal day in the Jungle of the Apes, according to Curator of Primates Ingrid Porton. As always, upon arrival the keepers checked all the apes. Eight of the 11 chimpanzees were at various stages of a cold that was going through the group. Cinder, one of the first to catch the cold, had none of the runny nose and cough symptoms she had shown last week. She welcomed the keepers with her signature pant-greeting while presenting her belly for tickling. Her appetite and attitude were good.
The keepers were busy giving all the apes their afternoon snack when they heard a series of alarm barks coming from the chimpanzees. They found Cinder collapsed on the floor with alpha male, Hugo, next to her. He tried to get her to respond. After separating the group from her, the keepers and zoological manager of primates began trying to resuscitate her even before veterinary help arrived. She was immediately given emergency drugs intravenously. Resuscitation attempts were continued, but without success.
A necropsy with preliminary results from the Saint Louis Zoo's pathologist did not show an obvious cause of unexpected death. Further laboratory tests are being conducted on tissue samples, blood samples and bacterial cultures taken from the necropsy. Results from the tests are expected in three to four weeks.
She is survived by her foster siblings, and her biological Father Smoke, who is 41.
Cinder, you will be missed. Sock Monkey? ARe you crying? There there now, here let me give you a hug, If it makes you feel better you can alter the settings of Tachi's OS.
Hip 30/40 year old: Hello I'm a PC.
Burnt out 20 year old: Smokes ...something "I'm...a....watch you call it...
PC: Mac
Mac: Yeah, whatever.
PC: Gee Mack I love how we are more compatble then ever
Mac: I love how we are both using Intel technology.
PC: I love how we can swap files.
Mac: I love how we can run the same aplications.
PC: I love you Mac.
Mac: I love you PC.
Penguin flies around with a bow and arrow.
Next deep from the radioactive depths of the flooded section of IJ Studios we managed to capture a strange creature. Here's a picture!
It's a Schinderhannes bartelsi! It was just swimming around there in the green glowing waters, unaware it was supposed to go extict 390 million years ago! Lets not tell it that ok? This creature lived 100 million years after the extinction of the last known creature with a "great appendage" growing from it's head died out, and may be the ancester of the modern scorpian. Schweet!
Next we are sad to announce the death of a famouse Jazz singer
Blossom Dearie
Blossom Dearie (April 28, 1926 – February 7, 2009) was an American jazz singer and pianist, often performing in the bebop genre and known for her distinctive girlish voice.
Early career
Dearie was born Margrethe Blossom Dearie on April 28, 1926, in East Durham, New York. As a child she studied Western classical piano but switched to jazz in her teens. After high school Dearie moved to New York City to pursue a music career and began to sing in groups such as the Blue Flames (with the Woody Herman Orchestra) and the Blue Reys (with Alvino Rey's band) before starting her solo career.
She moved to Paris, France, in 1952 and formed a vocal group, the Blue Stars. In 1954 the group had a hit in France with a French-language version of "Lullaby of Birdland". The Blue Stars would later evolve into the Swingle Singers. While in Paris she met her future husband, the Belgian flautist and saxophonist Bobby Jaspar. On her first solo album, released two years later, she plays the piano but does not sing.
One of her most famous songs from that period is "The Riviera", which was written and composed by Cy Coleman and Joseph McCarthy Jr. in 1956.
Late 1950s and 1960s
After returning from France, Dearie made her first six American albums as a solo singer and pianist for Verve Records in the late 1950s and early 1960s, mostly in a small trio or quartet setting. Dave Garroway, host of The Today Show and an early fan of Dearie, featured her on several occasions, increasing her exposure with the popular audience. In 1962, she recorded a song for a radio commercial of Hires Root Beer. As it proved very popular, the LP Blossom Dearie Sings Rootin' Songs was released as a premium item that could be ordered for one dollar and a proof of purchase.
In 1964, she recorded the album May I Come In? (Capitol/EMI Records). It was recorded, atypically for her, with an orchestra. During this same period, Dearie performed frequently in New York supper clubs and in 1966 made her first appearance at Ronnie Scott's club in London. She recorded four albums in the United Kingdom during the 1960s which were released on the Fontana label.
1970s and later
In 1974, Dearie established her own label, Daffodil Records, which allowed her to have full control of the recording and distribution of her albums. Dearie appeared on television throughout her career, most notably giving her voice to the children's educational series Schoolhouse Rock!. Some of her pieces in this series were written by her good friend Bob Dorough, the jazz singer and composer. Her voice can be heard on "Mother Necessity", "Figure Eight" and "Unpack Your Adjectives".
Songwriter Johnny Mercer, with whom she collaborated for her 1975 song, I'm Shadowing You, gave one of his final compositions to Blossom Dearie for the title song of her 1976 Daffodil album, My New Celebrity is You.
Her distinctive voice and songs have been featured on the soundtracks of several films, including Kissing Jessica Stein, My Life Without Me, The Squid and the Whale and The Adventures of Felix. She also recorded songs with other singers, including Lyle Lovett.
Dearie continued to perform in clubs until 2006. One of the last remaining supper-club performers, she performed regular engagements in London and New York City over many years.
Dearie died on February 7, 2009, at her apartment in Greenwich Village, New York City.

Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.
Oh-a oh
I met your children
Oh-a oh
What did you tell them?
Digital killed analog tv.
Digital killed analog tv.
Binary came now your obsolete.
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet at an abandoned VCR.
We watch the playback and it seems so far.
And you remember the wonder that you are.
Oh-a oh
You were the first one.
Oh-a oh
You were the last one.
Digital killed analog tv.
Digital killed analog tv.
In my mind its a tragady, we can't tivo back technology.
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh
Digital killed analog tv.
Digital killed analog tv.
In my mind I can't believe, we can't tivo back technology.
Binary came and made you obsolete, blame SIlicone Vally.
In my heart you'll always be.
In my heart you'll always be.
Digital killed analog tv.
Digital killed analog tv.
Digital killed analog tv.
Digital killed analog tv.
Digital killed analog tv. (In my heart you'll always be.)
Well that is it for our Tribute to Analog TV, know this, we will miss you. And saddly As Analog TV is coming to the endof it's life we pay tribute to the passing of one of claymation's finest.
James Allen Whitmore, Jr
James Allen Whitmore, Jr. (October 1, 1921 – February 6, 2009) was an American two-time Academy Award-nominated, Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning film actor.
Biography
Early life
James Allen Whitmore, Jr. was born on October 1, 1921 in White Plains, New York, the son of Florence Belle (née Crane) and James Allen Whitmore, Sr., who was a park commission official. He attended Amherst Central High School in Snyder, New York, and spent his senior year at the Choate School (now Choate Rosemary Hall) in Connecticut. He then entered Yale University, where he was a member of Skull and Bones, and served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II.
Career
Following World War II, Whitmore appeared on Broadway in the role of the Sergeant in Command Decision. MGM hired Whitmore on contract, but his role in the film adaptation was played by Van Johnson. Whitmore's first major picture was Battleground, in a role that was turned down by Spencer Tracy, and for which Whitmore was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Other major films included The Asphalt Jungle, The Next Voice You Hear, Above and Beyond, Kiss Me, Kate, Them!, Oklahoma!, Black Like Me, Guns of the Magnificent Seven, Tora! Tora! Tora!, and Give 'em Hell, Harry!, for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of former U.S. President Harry S Truman. In the movie Tora! Tora! Tora! he played the part of Admiral William F. "Bull" Halsey.
In the 1960-1961 television season, Whitmore starred in his own crime drama on ABC entitled The Law and Mr. Jones, in the title role, with Conlan Carter as legal assistant C.E. Carruthers and Janet De Gore as his secretary. The program ran at the 10:30 Eastern half-hour slot on Friday. It was cancelled after one year but returned in April 1962 for thirteen additional episodes on Thursday to fill the half-hour vacated by the cancellation of the ABC sitcom Margie.
In 1963, Whitmore played Captain William Benteen in The Twilight Zone episode "On Thursday We Leave for Home". In 1967 he guest starred as a security guard in The Invaders episode, Quantity: Unknown. That same year, he appeared on an episode of ABC's Custer starring Wayne Maunder in the title role. In 1969, Whitmore played the leading character of Professor Woodruff in the TV series My Friend Tony, produced by NBC. Whitmore also made several memorable appearances on the classic ABC western The Big Valley starring Barbara Stanwyck during the second half of the 1960s. Generally portraying a villain (corrupt sheriff or politician), his role was often that of a layered, complicated, and tormented character noted for intensity. Whitmore's natural ability to utilize the period slang terms and late 19th century language of the Old West gave a credibility to the performance seldom matched by other actors. His characters dominated the scenes and episodes in which he appeared.
Whitmore also appeared as General Oliver O. Howard in the 1975 TV movie I Will Fight No More Forever, based on the 1877 conflict between the United States Army and the Nez Percé tribe, led by Chief Joseph. In 1986, Whitmore voiced Mark Twain in the first claymation film The Adventures of Mark Twain. Whitmore's last major role was that of librarian Brooks Hatlen in the critically-acclaimed and Academy award-nominated 1994 Tim Robbins film The Shawshank Redemption. In 2002 Whitmore played a supporting role in The Majestic, a film that starred Jim Carey. To a younger generation, he was probably best known, in addition to his role in Shawshank, as the commercial spokesman for Miracle-Gro plant food for many years.
In addition to his film career, Whitmore did extensive theatre work. He won a Tony Award for "Best Performance by a Newcomer" in the Broadway production of Command Decision (1948). He later won the title "King of the One Man Show" after appearing in the solo vehicles Will Rogers' USA (1970), Give 'em Hell, Harry! (1975) (repeating the role in the film version, for which he was nominated for an Oscar) and as Theodore Roosevelt in Bully (1977) although the latter production did not repeat the success of the first two.
In 1999, he played Raymond Oz in two episodes of The Practice, earning an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series. In 2002, Whitmore got the role of the Grandfather in the Disney Channel original movie A Ring of Endless Light. Whitmore has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6611 Hollywood Blvd. In April 2007, he also appeared in C.S.I. in an episode titled "Ending Happy" as Milton, an elderly man who provides a clue of dubious utility.
Personal life
Whitmore was twice married to Nancy Mygatt. They first married in 1947 and the couple had three sons before their divorce in 1971. One of those sons, James III, has gone on to find success as a television actor and director, under the name James Whitmore, Jr.
Following the divorce from Mygatt, Whitmore was married to actress Audra Lindley from 1972 until 1979. He later remarried Mygatt, but they divorced again after two years. In 2001, he married actress and author Noreen Nash, who is the grandmother of film actor Sebastian Siegel. Whitmore is also the grandfather of Survivor: Gabon contestant Matty Whitmore.
In his later years, Whitmore spent most of his summers in Peterborough, New Hampshire, performing with the Peterborough Players.
Although not always politically active, in 2007, Whitmore generated some publicity with his endorsement of Barack Obama for U.S. President. In January 2008, Whitmore appeared in television commercials for the First Freedom First campaign, which advocates preserving "the separation of church and state" and protecting religious liberty.
Whitmore resided in Malibu, California where he was known through-out the community for being neighborly and warm hearted.
He smoked a pipe.
Death
Whitmore was diagnosed with lung cancer in November 2008, from which he died at his Malibu, California home on February 6, 2009. He was 87
Well That's all we have time for so...get out!
Now its time for...
Weathered its carried by electrons or a snail
It never ever fails
To make us scream and wail
When ever we get mail!
Thanks IJ! I really appreciate your continued support. I just checked out your Mac Vs. PC posts. Great stuff man. I love how the penguin won the race. :)
Thus far a'tris' recording sessions have been going well so it looks like we'll be able to debut the new record at the end of the summer if we can stay on track. Between the EP and the full length we're hoping to be able to release a new music video as well. I recently reached out to a Scottish artist whose artwork has greatly inspired me. He recently released a short film which was made up of over 6,000 of his paintings. The resulting animation is unlike anything I've ever seen before. He told me that it took him over two years to put it together working with a compositor and I can see why. Every single frame of his film is a work of art. We're really excited about the opportunity to collaborate with him on this project. I'm really looking forward to sharing the product of that collaboration with you if things work out! I think it'll be right up your alley. Hope this finds you feeling healthy!
-Mason
P.S. I'm excited to hear who's cast as the Major as well. I just hope that this film isn't approached the same way as I've read the live action Akira is being handled. We don't need to see a bunch of Americans running around in New York City pretending to be members of public security section 9.
Mason,
No problem, and I have more to give. What you actually checked out my website? Wow! Sometimes I feel people avoid it like radioactive waste. I'm glad you liked it. Yes the penguin seems to almost always come out ahead when dealing with PC and Mac.
Well it sounds like your hard work is really paying off! I can't wait to be able to see your video. So many months stand in the way of summer. Will it be included in one of those "one side DVD, one side CD "deals or be put up on myspace/youtube? 6000 paintings, that is one busy guy. Keep it up!
Take care,
IJ Dee-Vo
P.S. I hear that. I hate it when movies don't seem to have the countries in them populated by the native population of that country. The Major seems to be reinvented for each media she's used in, so who knows what she will be like. It must have the tachikoma's in it!
We have an update on Majel Barrett Roddenberry, actress of Star Trek and wife of creater of Star Trek, Gne Roddenberry.
LOS ANGELES – The creator of "Star Trek" and his wife will spend eternity together in space. Celestis Inc., a company that specializes in "memorial spaceflights," said Monday that it will ship the remains of Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett Roddenberry into space next year.
The couple's cremated remains will be sealed into specially made capsules designed to withstand the rigors of space travel. A rocket-launched spacecraft will carry the capsules, along with digitized tributes from fans. The Roddenberrys' remains — and the spacecraft — will travel ever deeper into space and will not return to earth, company spokeswoman Susan Schonfeld said.
After Gene Roddenberry died in 1991, his wife commissioned Celestis to launch a part of his remains into space in 1997. She died Dec. 18, 2008.
And All I ask for is a tall ship, and a star to guide her by. God speed brave souls, God speed.
Finally we tip our hat to the passing of one of the music world's very own
John Martyn OBE
John Martyn OBE, born Iain David McGeachy (11 September 1948 – 29 January 2009), was a British singer-songwriter and guitarist. Over a forty-year career he released twenty studio albums and worked with artists such as Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, and Phil Collins. He has been described as "an electrifying guitarist and singer whose music blurred the boundaries between folk, jazz, rock and blues".
Biography
Early life
Martyn was born in New Malden, Surrey, England. Martyn's parents, both opera singers, divorced when he was five and he spent his childhood alternating between England and Scotland. Much of this was spent in the care of his grandmother. His strongest ties were in Glasgow, and he attended Shawlands Academy there.
Late 1960s and collaborations with Beverley Martyn
Mentored by Hamish Imlach, Martyn began his professional musical career when he was seventeen, playing a blend of blues and folk that resulted in a unique style that made him a key figure in the London folk scene during the mid-1960s. He signed to Chris Blackwell's Island Records in 1967 and released his first album, London Conversation, the following year.
This first album was soon followed by The Tumbler, which was moving towards jazz. By 1970 Martyn had developed a wholly original and idiosyncratic sound: acoustic guitar run through a fuzzbox, phase-shifter, and Echoplex. This sound was first apparent on Stormbringer! in 1970, which featured Martyn's then wife, Beverley Kutner, as his collaborator. She was also jointly credited on The Road to Ruin, their next album in 1970. However, Island Records felt that it would be more successful to market Martyn as a solo act and this was how subsequent albums were produced, although Beverley Martyn continued to make appearances as a background singer.
1970s
In 1973, Martyn released one of the defining British albums of the 1970s, Solid Air, the title song a tribute to the singer-songwriter Nick Drake, a close friend and label-mate, who in 1974 died suddenly from an overdose of antidepressants. On this album, as with the one that preceded it, Bless the Weather, Martyn collaborated with jazz bass player, Danny Thompson, with whom he proceeded to have a fruitful musical partnership which continued until his death. He also developed a new, slurred vocal style, the timbre of which resembled a tenor saxophone.
Following the commercial success of Solid Air, Martyn quickly recorded and released the experimental Inside Out, a more difficult album with emphasis placed on feel and improvisation rather than song structure. In 1974, he followed this with Sunday's Child. In September of the next year he released a live album, Live at Leeds—Martyn had been unable to convince Island to release the record, and resorted to selling individually signed copies by mail from his home. Live at Leeds features Danny Thompson and drummer John Stevens, and is notable not only for the performances given, but the recording quality and incredibly quiet audience for a live recording. After releasing Live at Leeds, Martyn took a sabbatical, including a visit to Jamaica, spending time with famous reggae producer Lee "Scratch" Perry.
In 1977, he released One World, which led some commentators to describe Martyn as the "Father of Trip-Hop". It included tracks such as "Small Hours" and "Big Muff", a collaboration with Lee "Scratch" Perry. One World is notable for having been recorded outside, the album's lush soundscapes are partly the result of microphones picking up ambient sounds, such as water from a nearby lake.
1980s and breakup of marriage
Martyn's marriage to Beverley finally broke down at the end of the 1970s and, according to his official website, "John hit the self destruct button" (although other biographers, including The Times obituary writer, attribute the break-up of his marriage to his already being addicted to drink and drugs). Out of this period, described by Martyn as "a very dark period in my life", came the album Grace and Danger.
Released in October 1980, the album had been held up for a year by Island boss Chris Blackwell. He was a close friend of John and Beverley, and found the album too openly disturbing to release. Only after intense and sustained pressure from Martyn did Blackwell agree to release the album.
Commenting on that period, Martyn said, "I was in a dreadful emotional state over that record. I was hardly in control of my own actions. The reason they finally released it was because I freaked: Please get it out! I don't give a damn about how sad it makes you feel—it's what I'm about: the direct communication of emotion. Grace and Danger was very cathartic, and it really hurt."
In the late 1980s Martyn would cite Grace and Danger as his favourite album, and said that it was "probably the most specific piece of autobiography I've written. Some people keep diaries, I make records." The album has since become one of his highest-regarded, prompting a deluxe double-disc issue in 2007, containing the original album remastered.
Phil Collins played drums and sang backing vocals on Grace and Danger and subsequently played drums on and produced Martyn's next album, Glorious Fool, in 1981.
Martyn left Island records in 1981, and recorded Glorious Fool and Well Kept Secret for WEA, the label clearly aiming to bring him mainstream success, and achieving his first Top 30 album. Glorious Fool was a sharp departure from Martyn's 70s sound and at the time was regarded as something of a sell-out by his die-hard fans, but time has revealed it to be a much stronger album than it seemed at the time, with some fine songwriting and vocals. Well Kept Secret (1982) was less successful. Martyn released a live album, Philentropy, in 1983.
Returning to Island records, Martyn recorded Sapphire (1984), Piece by Piece (1986) and the live Foundations (1987) before being dropped by Island in 1988.
1990s and 2000s
John Martyn performs at the Barbican Centre, London in 2008.Martyn released The Apprentice in 1990 and Cooltide in 1991 for Permanent Records, and then rerecorded many of his "classic" songs for No Little Boy (1993). The similar 1992 release Couldn't Love You More was unauthorised by and disowned by Martyn. Material from these recordings and his two Permanent albums has been endlessly recycled on many releases. Permanent Records also released a live 2 CD set called "Live" in 1994.
And (1996) came out on Go!Discs and saw Martyn draw heavily on hip-hop textures while blending a sound still distinctively Martyn, a direction which saw more complete expression on 2000's Glasgow Walker ; The Church with One Bell (1998) is a covers album taking in material from Portishead to Ben Harper.
In 2001 Martyn appeared on the track Deliver Me by Faithless keyboard player and DJ Sister Bliss.
In July 2006 the documentary Johnny Too Bad was screened by the BBC. The programme documented the period surrounding the operation to amputate Martyn's right leg below the knee (the result of a burst cyst) and the writing and recording of On the Cobbles (2004), an album described by Peter Marsh on the BBC Music website as "the strongest, most consistent set he's come up with in years." Much of Cobbles was a revisiting of his acoustic-based sound.
He continued to write and collaborate with various artists up until his death, dividing his time between Glasgow and Kilkenny in Ireland. He recorded a ballad entitled "Really Gone" with Irish group Ultan John which was released in November 2006.
On 4 February 2008, Martyn received the lifetime achievement award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk awards. The award was presented by Phil Collins. The BBC website says of Martyn, "his heartfelt performances have either suggested or fully demonstrated an idiosyncratic genius." Eric Clapton was quoted as saying that Martyn was, "so far ahead of everything, it's almost inconceivable." Martyn performed "Over the Hill" and "May You Never" at the ceremony, with John Paul Jones accompanying on mandolin.
To mark Martyn's 60th birthday Island released on 1 September 2008 a career-spanning 4CD boxed set, Ain't No Saint. The acclaimed set includes many live recordings and unreleased studio material, researched and compiled by his close friend John Hillarby who also runs the official Martyn website.
Martyn was appointed OBE, Officer of the Order of the British Empire, by Queen Elizabeth II in the 2009 New Year Honours.
Martyn died in Ireland on 29 January 2009. Folk musician Richard Thompson declined to sing a John Martyn song requested by a member of the audience at the end of his Birmingham (UK) concert that evening, on the grounds that he hadn't had time to prepare one - he would do so at the next day's concert in Bristol, though he did note his sadness. English rock band Keane sang a Martyn song , as did Scottish singer songwriter James Grant, who played a version of "May You Never" at his Glasgow show that night.
Paying tribute to Martyn, BBC Radio 2's folk presenter Mike Harding said: "John Martyn was a true original, one of the giants of the folk scene. He could write and sing classics like 'May You Never' and 'Fairy Tale Lullaby' like nobody else, and he could sing traditional songs like Spencer The Rover in a way that made them seem new minted."

Hey IJ,
Thanks! The holidays treated me very well and gave me a much needed break. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to recharge myself before plowing into a'tris' next promotion. The guys and I will be releasing a new EP on the 2nd of February through AirPlay Direct at www.airplaydirect.com/atris. I hope that you and your listeners enjoy it! We're very excited about being able to offer this glimpse into our upcoming full length record.
I apologize for not having read your Thanksgiving special. I hope to check it out at a later date. At the moment my schedule is just totally booked up and I have very little free time. If you get a chance though definitely give SSS an eye. If you like GitS you will love what they did with this "third gig." At the moment I haven't heard anything about them continuing the series. SSS wrapped things up pretty well; but there are always possibilities and I hope that Production IG explores them.
Did you hear about the possibility of a live action Ghost in the Shell? How wild would that be?
Hope this finds you feeling healthy!
-Mason
Hey Mason,
I'm glad things are going well with you. That sounds very sweet and I will have to download it for my station. I look forward to hearing your full length record!
That's OK, it would be under the What's New section/What's Old 2008. It pays homage to all those old holiday specials where celebrities would just happen to drop by another celebrity's house in high definition text format!
A live action GitS! Schweet! I wonder who will be playing Kusanagi. No doubt It will have lots of CGI in it.
Rock on my friend,
IJ Dee-Vo
IJ Dee-Vo: So now what do we do?
Tachi: ABOUT WHAT?
IJ Dee-Vo: ABout Sonic! He's been unleashed and now it's night.
Tachi: HOW CAN YOU TELL DOWN HERE?
IJ Dee-Vo: Well he can anyways. We have to lure him back into the enclosure.
Tachi: AND HOW WILL WE DO THAT?
IJ Dee-Vo: I don't know...lure him in?
Tachi: WITH WHAT?
IJ Dee-Vo: With something he likes.
Tachi: I SUPPOSE THAT WOULD WORK BETTER THEN USING SOMETHING HE DOESN'T LIKE.
IJ Dee-Vo: But what does he like?
Tachi: BEATING UP ON EGGMAN, SAVING TAILS, COLLECTING RINGS, BOGARTING EMERALDS.
IJ Dee-Vo: Yes Yes, also maybe we can use what he doesn't like to keep from going the wrong way.
Tachi: BUT WHAT DOESN'T HE LIKE?
IJ Dee-Vo: AMy Rose in a wedding gown?
TACHI: OK LETS MAKE A CARDBOARD CUT OUT OF EGGMAN HOLDING TAILS HOSTAGE< HOLDING AN EMERALD< WITH A BUNCH OF GOLD RINGS AND PLACE IT IN THE ENCLOSURE.
IJ Dee-Vo: Good Now all we need is Amy Rose in a wedding gown, but where will we get that?
TACHI: EASY, ALL WE NEED IS A WEDDING DRESS, SOME PINK SPRAY PAINT, AND...HEY RED REARED WONDER COME HERE FOR A SECOND I HAVE DONUTS FOR YOU!
IJ Dee-Vo: Well I hope we can get that spray paint out of Sock Monkey's fur, hopefully we'll be here next week assuming Sonic doesn't tear the place apart first.
Hip 30/40 year old: Hello I'm a PC.
Burnt out 20 year old: Smokes ...something "I'm...a....watch you call it...
PC: Mac
Mac: Yeah, whatever.
PC: Hello Mac. well it's that magical time of the year where everything is new and filled with promise.
Mac: Meh, so what.
PC: Mac have you made out your New Year's Resolutions?
Mac: Yah, I scribbled down something while I was....um...
PC: I know lets start reading ours, I'll go first. I resolve to continue providing the type of system, that is easy to costumize, optimize, at a low cost while having top performance.
Mac: Well freak'n good for you. I resolve to continue brainwashing people to buy one half the computer at the twice the price of you and still have them falling to my knees each time I come out with a slightly new feature, and then after they buy in, I'll lower the price!
PC: Gee usually resolutions are about improvement.
Now its time for...
Weathered its carried by electrons or a snail
It never ever fails
To make us scream and wail
When ever we get mail!
Now our first and only mail is from our good friend Mason. Now let us see what he has written to us.
Hey IJ,
Going well thanks! I wasn't able to have a home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner this year but that will make the Christmas one all the merrier. :)
Did I share with you how huge a fan I am of GitS? I must admit I'm guilty of downloading a fan sub of SSS shortly after its premier on SKY PerfecTV.... This is not something I typically do as I know how difficult it is to continue moving projects forward when people chose not to support art monetarily. I did however purchase the beautiful special edition DVD the moment it was released. The dub was fantastic and it was great to see the animation in its only slightly compressed glory.
SSS was an awesome way to end the series but I still have my fingers crossed for a 3rd Gig. The team at Production IG has done a fantastic job of referencing Shirow's work. There were even some nods to the only recently published 1.5 Human-Error Processor. Have you had a chance to check that out? Cool stuff!
Hope this finds you feeling healthy!
-Mason
Hey Mason,
I'm sorry to hear about your Thanksgiving. Did you read our Thanksgiving special on our site? I do hope your Christmas and New Year's Eve was schweet. I love GitS It is one f my favorites. No I have not seen SSS yet. Will there be a series after? It would be nice if there was. I suppose each one ended in such a way that it could be it. So what is new with you this year?
Till next time,
IJ Dee-Vo.
Now we have some sad news as the passing away of two well known and well loved people occured this week.
Ricardo Gonzalo Pedro Montalbán Merino
Ricardo Gonzalo Pedro Montalbán Merino (November 25, 1920 – January 14, 2009) was a Mexican-born American television, theatre, and film actor. He had a career spanning decades and multiple notable roles. During the mid-to-late 1970s, he was the spokesperson in automobile advertisements for the Chrysler Cordoba (in which he famously extols the "soft Corinthian leather" used for its interior). From 1977 to 1984 he starred as Mr. Roarke in the television series Fantasy Island. He also played Khan Noonien Singh in both a 1967 episode "Space Seed" of the first season of the original Star Trek series, and the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. He won an Emmy Award in 1978, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild in 1993. Up until his 80s, he continued to perform, often providing voices for animated films and commercials.
Biography
Early life
Montalbán was born in Mexico City, the son of Spanish emigres' Ricarda Merino and Jenaro Montalbán, a store manager. He had a brother, actor Carlos Montalbán, and a sister, Carmen.
Career
Montalbán has stated that when he first arrived in Hollywood, studios wanted to change his name to Ricky Martin. He has frequently portrayed Asian characters – mostly of Japanese background, as in Sayonara and the Hawaii Five-O episode "Samurai." His first leading role was the 1949 film Border Incident, with actor George Murphy. During the 1950s and 1960s, he was one of only a handful of actively working Hispanic actors.
Many of his early roles were in Westerns in which he played character parts, usually as an "Indian" or as a "Latin Lover." In 1950, he was cast against type, playing a Cape Cod police officer in the film Mystery Street. In 1957, he played Nakamura in the Oscar-winning film Sayonara.
From 1957 to 1959 he starred in the Broadway musical Jamaica, singing several light-hearted calypso numbers opposite Lena Horne.
Montalbán also starred in radio, such as the internationally syndicated program "Lobo del Mar" (Seawolf), in which he was cast as the captain of a vessel which became part of some adventure at each port it visited. This 30-minute weekly show aired in many Spanish speaking countries until the early 70s.
In 1975, he was chosen as the television spokesman for the new Chrysler Cordoba. The car became a successful model, and over the following several years, was heavily advertised; his mellifluous delivery of a line praising the "soft Corinthian leather" upholstery of the car's interior, often misquoted as "fine or rich Corinthian leather," became famous and was much parodied, and Montalbán subsequently became a favorite subject of impersonators. Eugene Levy, for example, frequently impersonated him on SCTV. In 1986, he was featured in a magazine advertisement for the new Chrysler New Yorker.
Montalbán's best-known television role was that of Mr. Roarke in the television series Fantasy Island, which he played from 1978 until 1984. For a while, the series was one of the most popular on television, and his character as well as that of his sidekick, Tattoo (played by Hervé Villechaize), became pop icons. Another of his well-known roles was that of Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, in which he reprised a role that he had originated in the 1967 episode of Star Trek titled "Space Seed." There were some questions initially as to whether Montalbán had had prosthetic muscles applied to his chest during filming of Star Trek II to make him appear more muscular, on account of his being over 60 years old at the time. Montalbán and others associated with the production of Star Trek II have disputed this, most notably Leonard Nimoy in his book I Am Spock, citing the fact that he was always physically active and worked out regularly, and those really were his muscles. The theory that those chest muscles were Montalban's own is furthered in the installment of the Biography series devoted to him, in which both William Shatner and Montalban's son say Ricardo worked out strenuously to achieve that look. Film clips and shots throughout the episode bolster these claims, as they evidence a man in fine physical shape even into his 70s.
Montalbán appeared in many diverse films including The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! as well as two films from both the Planet of the Apes and Spy Kids series. In addition, he appeared in various musicals, such as 1966's The Singing Nun, also starring Debbie Reynolds. Over the course of his long career, he played lead roles or guest starred in dozens of television series. Since 1993, Montalbán had to use a wheelchair after a long-unresolved spinal injury from the 1951 film Across the Wide Missouri recurred. In filming one scene, Montalban was reportedly thrown off a horse, knocked out, and walked on by another horse, leaving him with a spinal injury that troubled him for the rest of his life and grew more painful as he aged. In 1993, he underwent surgery, but it only made the pain worse. Montalban continued to work, usually delivering his lines from a wheelchair.
In several interviews and public speeches, Montalbán described "the five stages of the actor" as follows:
1. Who is Ricardo Montalbán?
2. Get me Ricardo Montalbán.
3. Get me a Ricardo Montalbán type.
4. Get me a young Ricardo Montalbán.
5. Who is Ricardo Montalbán?
Personal life
He married Georgiana Young, an actress, in 1944; they had four children. She was the half-sister of the actresses Sally Blane, Polly Ann Young, and movie and television star Loretta Young, who nicknamed her "Georgie". Georgiana's niece is Judy Lewis, daughter of Lorretta Young and Clark Gable. After 63 years of marriage, Georgiana Young de Montalbán died on November 13, 2007, at the age of 84.
Montalbán established the Nosotros Foundation, which attempted to highlight and recognize Latino participation in the arts and entertainment. In 1970, the foundation created the Golden Eagle Awards, an annual awards show that recognizes Latino stars,
He was a practicing Roman Catholic and once had said that his religion was the "most important thing" in his life. He was named a Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great by the Vatican in 1998. He recorded a Public Service Announcement celebrating his American citizenship in honor of the 200th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty in 1986.
Death
Montalbán died on January 14, 2009, at his home in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 88. The cause of death has not yet been officially identified, although son-in-law Gilbert Smith did say he died of "complications from advancing age".

Finally we bid adoo to perhaps one of the most infomous prisioner of the most psychodelic, freaky, 60 styles prisions ever conceived of.
Patrick Joseph McGoohan
Patrick Joseph McGoohan (March 19, 1928 – January 13, 2009) was a two-time Emmy winning Irish-American actor, raised in Ireland and England, with an extensive stage career, who rose to fame in the British film and TV industry by starring in the 1960s television series Danger Man (renamed Secret Agent when exported to the US) , the cult classic The Prisoner[2] and Mel Gibson's Oscar winning epic Braveheart as Edward Longshanks. McGoohan wrote and directed several episodes of The Prisoner himself, occasionally using the pseudonyms Joseph Serf and Paddy Fitz.
Biography
McGoohan was born in Astoria, Queens, New York City, to Thomas McGoohan and Rose Fitzpatrick, who were living in the United States after emigrating from Ireland to look for work. Shortly after he was born, McGoohan's parents moved back to Mullaghmore, County Leitrim, Ireland, and, seven years later, they moved to Sheffield, England. With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, McGoohan was evacuated to Loughborough, Leicestershire. There he attended Ratcliffe College, where he excelled in mathematics and boxing.
Career
McGoohan left school aged sixteen and returned to Sheffield where he worked variously as a chicken farmer, a bank clerk and a lorry driver before getting a job as a stage manager at Sheffield Repertory Theatre. When one of the actors became ill, Patrick filled in, launching his acting career. He fell for an actress named Joan Drummond, the woman to whom he reportedly wrote love notes every day. They were one of show business's happiest couples. They were married between a rehearsal of The Taming of the Shrew and an evening performance on May 19, 1951. They had three daughters, Catherine (b. 1952), Anne (b. 1959) and Frances (b. 1960).
On a few occasions McGoohan played the part of a priest. In 1955, McGoohan starred in a West End production of a play called Serious Charge, in the role of a priest accused of being gay. Orson Welles was so impressed by McGoohan's stage presence ("intimidated," Welles said later) that he cast him as Starbuck in his York theatre production of Moby Dick Rehearsed.
While working as a stand-in during actress screen tests, McGoohan was signed to a contract with the Rank Organisation, the largest European production company between 1930 and 1960. The producers may have been more interested in capitalizing on his boxing skill and appearance than his acting ability, casting him as the conniving bad boy in such films as the gritty Hell Drivers and the steamy potboiler The Gypsy and the Gentleman, and after a few films and some clashes with the management, the contract was dissolved.
Free of the contract, he did some TV work and continued on the stage in his favourite role, Ibsen's Brand, for which he received an award. Soon producer Lew Grade approached him about another contract, this time for a TV series in which he would play a spy named John Drake. Having learned from his experience at the Rank Organisation, McGoohan insisted on several conditions before agreeing to do the show Danger Man: all the fistfights should be different, the character would always use his brain before using a gun, and, much to the horror of the executives, no kissing. They hired him anyway. The first series, half-hour shows geared toward an American audience, did fairly well, but not as well as they hoped in the U.S. It lasted only one year, but was rerun in several countries and gained cult status worldwide. After the series was over, one interviewer asked McGoohan if he would have liked the series to continue, to which he replied, "I would rather do twenty TV series than go through what I went through under that Rank contract I signed a few years ago for which I blame no one but myself."
McGoohan spent some time working for Disney on The Three Lives of Thomasina and The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh. He had already turned down the roles of James Bond and Simon Templar (The Saint) when Lew Grade asked him if he would like to give John Drake another try. This time, McGoohan had even more say about the series; it was expanded to an hour and the writing was changed to allow McGoohan more acting range. The popularity of the series exploded. McGoohan became the highest paid actor in the UK and it lasted almost three more seasons.
After shooting the first two episodes for the fourth season in colour, McGoohan told Lew Grade he was going to quit. Grade asked if he would at least work on "something" for him, and McGoohan gave him a run-down of what would later be called a miniseries about a secret agent who resigns suddenly and wakes up to find himself in a prison disguised as a holiday resort. Grade asked for a budget, McGoohan had one ready, and they made a deal over a handshake early on a Saturday morning to produce The Prisoner. McGoohan not only produced, he also wrote, directed and starred in the show. He used two pseudonyms, writing "Free for All" as Paddy Fitz and directing "Many Happy Returns" and "A Change of Mind" as Joseph Serf. He also wrote "Once Upon A Time" and "Fall Out" using his own name. The seven episodes were increased to seventeen.
The main character spends the entire series trying to escape from The Village and to learn the identity of his nemesis, Number One. The Prisoner was a completely new, cerebral kind of series, stretching the limits of the established television formulas. Its influence has been echoed in Lost, Babylon 5, Nowhere Man, I-man, The Truman Show, The Simpsons, ReBoot, even American Idol teaser ads.
The main character, the unnamed Number Six, became McGoohan's most recognisable character. Unfortunately, it also became his prison. Number Six was so obsessively pro-individual that whenever McGoohan later played someone who had something to say about individuality or freedom, the character was often compared to his previous incarnation; for example, his rather ironic portrayal of the Warden in Escape from Alcatraz. "Mel Gibson will always be Mad Max, and me, I will always be a Number," he was once quoted as saying.
The cult of The Prisoner spawned many books, college courses, a quarterly magazine and documentaries. There were several fan clubs - most notably "Six of One," which honours the show annually with a convention in Portmeirion, Wales, where the show's exteriors were shot. McGoohan was the honorary president. In the May 30, 2004 edition of TV Guide, The Prisoner was ranked seventh in a list of the "25 Top Rated Cult Shows Ever!" McGoohan's show outranked the likes of The Twilight Zone (#8) and Doctor Who (#18). TV Guide wrote, "Fans still puzzle over this weird, enigmatic drama, a Kafkaesque allegory about the individual's struggle in the modern age."
McGoohan appeared in many films, including Howard Hughes's favourite, Ice Station Zebra, for which he was critically acclaimed, and Silver Streak, with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. In 1977 he starred in the TV series Rafferty, playing a former army doctor who has retired and moved into private practice. Many people consider this series a forerunner to House, M.D.. He was most recognized by a later generation of fans as the Machiavellian King Edward "Longshanks" from the 1995 Oscar -winning Braveheart. In 1996 he appeared as Judge Omar Noose in A Time to Kill. He directed Richie Havens in a rock-opera version of Othello called Catch My Soul. McGoohan received two Emmy Awards for his work on Columbo with his long-time friend Peter Falk. He directed five Columbo episodes (including three of the four in which he played the murderer) and wrote and produced two (including one of these).
He also appeared in 1981 Scanners, a science fiction/horror film by Canadian director David Cronenberg that has since attained cult movie status.
In 1996, he appeared in Paramount's big budget cinema adaptation of The Phantom comic strip, playing the father of the title character (played by Billy Zane). Many fans of the comic objected to the casting of McGoohan, claiming he was far too old to play the character, who, in the comics, died in his late forties.
In 1991, he starred in Masterpiece Theatre's production of "The Best of Friends" for PBS, which told the story of the unlikely friendship between a museum curator, a nun and a playwright. McGoohan played George Bernard Shaw alongside Sir John Gielgud as Sydney Cockerell and Dame Wendy Hiller as Sister Laurentia McLachlan.
In 2000, he reprised his role as Number Six in an episode of The Simpsons, "The Computer Wore Menace Shoes". In it, Homer Simpson concocts a news story to make his website more popular, and he wakes up in a prison disguised as a holiday resort. Dubbed Number Five, he befriends Number Six and escapes with his boat.
McGoohan's last film was a voice role in the animated film Treasure Planet, released in 2002. That same year, he received the Prometheus Hall of Fame Award for The Prisoner.
McGoohan's name was linked to several aborted attempts at producing a new motion picture version of The Prisoner. In 2002, director Simon West (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) was signed to helm a version of the story. McGoohan was listed as executive producer on the project, which never came to fruition. Most recently, director Christopher Nolan attached to a proposed film version. However, the source material remained difficult and elusive to adapt into a feature film. A reimagining of the series was filmed for the American Movie Classics network in late 2008, with broadcast scheduled for sometime in 2009.
McGoohan was one of several actors considered for the role of James Bond in Dr. No (along with future Bond actor Roger Moore). Part of McGoohan's popular legend is that he turned down the role on moral grounds (the same grounds that would affect how he played John Drake). Ironically, the success of the Bond films is generally cited as the reason for Danger Man being revived in 1964, which led in turn to The Prisoner.
Despite his extensive British stage experience, he appeared on Broadway only once. In 1985, he starred opposite Rosemary Harris in Hugh Whitemore's Pack of Lies, in which he played a British intelligence agent. McGoohan was nominated for a Drama Desk Award as "Best Actor."
Death
McGoohan died on 13 January 2009 at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California, following a brief illness.
At the time of his death, McGoohan was mostly retired and living in Los Angeles with his wife of 57 years, Joan Drummond McGoohan. Along with his three daughters, he had five grandchildren (Sarah, Erin, Simon, Nina, and Paddy). On June 11, 2008, he became a great-grandfather to Jack Patrick Lockhart.

OH It's a happy new year
Not at all a sappy old year
So open up that keg of beer

Fill it with hope instead of fear
Take all those you love so dear
Hold them to your heart so near
Make your rosolutiobns simple and clear
How about get a new career
Let it be know from far to right here
From the desert to the peir
Look with your eyes just don't leer

Um.....I saw a deer

Pat Hingle
Martin Patterson "Pat" Hingle (July 19, 1924 – January 3, 2009) was an American actor.
Biography
Early life
Hingle was born Martin Patterson Hingle in Denver, Colorado, the son of Marvin Louise (née Patterson), a schoolteacher and musician, and Clarence Martin Hingle, a building contractor. Hingle enlisted in the U.S. Navy in December 1941, dropping out of the University of Texas. He served on the destroyer USS Marshall during World War II. He returned to the University of Texas after the war and earned a degree in radio broadcasting.
Near fatal 1960 accident
In 1960, he had been offered the title role in Elmer Gantry, but could not do it due to a near fatal accident; caught in an elevator in his West End Avenue apartment building that had stalled between the second and third floors, he crawled out, trying to reach the second floor corridor, lost his balance and fell 54 feet down the shaft, fracturing his skull, wrist, hip and most of the ribs on his left side, breaking his left leg in three places and losing the little finger on his left hand. He lay near death for two weeks and his recovery took more than a year.
Acting career
Traditional roles portrayed by Hingle
Hingle was traditionally known for playing judges, police officers, and other authority figures. One of his notable roles was the father of the character played by Warren Beatty in Splendor in the Grass (1961). While he was probably best known in recent times for playing Commissioner Gordon in the 1989 film Batman and its three sequels, Hingle had a long list of television and movie credits to his name, going back to 1948.

(1979), Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive (1986), The Grifters (1990), Citizen Cohn (1992), The Land Before Time (1988), Wings (1996), and Shaft (2000).
Along with Michael Gough, who played Alfred Pennyworth, he was one of only two actors to appear in the four Batman films from 1989-1997. In Hingle's appearance as Commissioner Gordon (Batman & Robin), he worked with Uma Thurman (who portrayed Poison Ivy), whose first husband, Gary Oldman, succeeded him in the role in Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008). Hingle also worked with Christian Bale in Shaft, who would go on to portray Batman/Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins and Dark Knight.
Other roles
Hingle originated the role of Gooper in the original Broadway production of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. He also starred as Victor Franz in the premiere production of The Price by Arthur Miller . In the 1997 revival of the musical 1776, Hingle played Benjamin Franklin, with Brent Spiner as John Adams. In 2002, he was a regular cast member of ABC's series The Court. He also played Horace in 1995's The Quick and the Dead. He also played the head cop in San Palo in the fourth Dirty Harry installment, Sudden Impact.
In 2006, he appeared in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, as the original owner of Dennit Racing.
