In Space None Can Hear You OH YEAAAAAAAA!!! ...Also a burger

Nostalgia time! Nostalgia time with something awesome on par with Legends of the Hidden Temple, something that had it's time of reigning from 1994 to 2004.. Kind of strange how all these awesome shows seem to actually come from the 90s? I guess we just have some really good memories of these times, y'know? It's not necessarily better than other decades, the 90s were pretty damn good in the grand-scale of things, though. That something? Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

Typically Space Ghost Coast to Coast was kind of incoherent, the cast usually was made up of Space Ghost of course, Zorak the musician and Moltar, the Director and Producer.



It was done in talk-show fashion, usually a mock talk show. The show was incoherent because the interviews weren't actually done in real-time but typically the interviews were done ahead of time and then added into the show later.. Duh.. It's animated, that's to be expected.. But they went one step further with this show and intentionally tried to make it incoherent, turning interviews into what was often best described as quickly devolving ramblings which ran on, made little sense and seemed as if it were all disjointed and out of place... And.. It was great! ...Funnily enough the show was HILARIOUS from start to finish and even some of the things that shouldn't have been that funny such as random and overt violence towards his Musician Zorak in the form of frequent wrist blastings

The wrist blastings were random and while typically motivated by something inane were sometimes egged on by Zorak. Yes, I realize that's a double-negative, the show was completely fucked up. Trust me, sometimes it was random, sometimes it was random and motivated and other times it was random and practically begged for. They were very subtle about that shit, I'm pretty sure that's why it managed to hit such a funny bone.

Of course the cast wasn't complete at just Space Ghost, Zorak and Moltar, from time to time they'd have other guest-stars or characters such as Birdman and characters from the Hannah Barbara/Space Ghost/60s era animated shows, Lokar and Brak being some that were more frequently featured



While other characters would simply show up from time to time. Though there was one episode in particular that was just epic on the same level that would have been if they had my beloved The Kurgan on and yes, it is necessary to refer to him as "The Kurgan", I don't give a shit if his name is Clancy Brown, he's The Goddamn Kurgan. The episode in particular featured someone I adore for his off the wall ridiculous voice and ability to flawlessly ham everything up and seem just awesome while doing it, the late, the great; Macho Man Randy Savage AKA Grandpa Space Ghost;

OH YEAAAAA! And you better bet this was an awesome and violent episode with 'ole Gramps threatening the guests, talking smack and taking concussions which should have rightfully put him in the dirt! But he's Randy Goddamn Savage and that gives him instant immunity to character death! Not even real death has been able to stop Savage, he lives on in our memories and in awesome.
And don't you goddamn forget it! Or he'll pile drive you so hard your spine'll feel like it snapped into a Slim Jim! OH YEAAAAAAAAA BROOOOTHERRRR!!!

There were of course other episodes that were equally as cool, one of the stranger ones that was quite awesome was an episode featuring Bjork which as one may imagine was as.. Confusing.. As it was.. Well... Fucking confusing.. But that made it awesome, don't get me wrong! It's just.. Something that has to be seen to be properly understood.





Watch it, learn it, love it. Expect nothing coherent or competent from this show, it is what it is; stupid off the wall incoherency which makes you laugh and sometimes stops your brain like a wall of fucking bricks.

Moving on to a shorter half of the post, the ending, the grand finale and coup de'tat we come to my dinner for last night, something I don't cook often because it's very difficult to Japanize but I did it nevertheless and it was awesome I believe. Came out absolutely beautiful! Ladies, gentlemen and oddities of the interwebs, I give you.. The Amai remonsosu no baga ( Sweet Lemon-sauce burger );

Boasting a freshly baked bun, dough formed by my own hands and toasted to buttery perfection in the oven, a sweet lemon sauce which had been thickened with honey and a tiny bit of Japanese Ketchup for extra flavour, fresh mushrooms stewed along into it, a beef-patty gently marinated and grilled with a sweet cinnamon spice-rub, topped by melty cheese and adorned by fresh greens the sides Anpan and Ume no raisu purin! This dinner I am PROUD of although it didn't get a reaction really worth mentioning, I myself am still quite happy with how it came out. It came out picture fuck perfect!

...AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY FOOD NETWORK SHOW OR CHEFS JOB, DAMN IT!

  1. Omg, it always made a sound when Zorak blinked!
    I forget if it was on that show or another or if it was on both but the sound was like... I'd stare at him waiting for it! Wtf? xDD
    I frikkin loved Zorak and the abuse from/towards him. xD

    Ah! the thing with the felineish ears and big sharp teath! I forget his name but Zorak was on his show too! -points-

    ...
    Hehe...
    Impending Zorak doom~

    Sadly, i don't remember much detail about any of those episodes besides Zorak and being amused. :|

    I still can't get over the fact that you can make your own buns... from what I understand, bread can be temperamental (at least i think that's what i heard...). =/

  2. Bread is typically pretty damn temperamental, it's worse for me because I refuse to use any timing implements when I cook and go off feel so there's been many-a-time that I've char-coaled something because I refused to time it's baking.

  3. Also, the feline-ish fella is Brak.
