Joe 90.

Big RAT?

World Intelligence Network?

Child assassins?

Multiple personalities?

Boy oh boy when Joe comes out of the BIG RAT do his eyes look glazed over;





I loved this show when I was young.

I used to pretend I was Joe.

Nowadays I think; only ninety?

I split infinitely.

My eyes glaze over just like Joe's.

Anyone care to do the research on Gerry and Sylvia?

I bet there's a thread on them somewhere else.

Well now I understand the reference to "Gerry and Sylvia" ( the vaguely insectoid aliens featured occasionally on MST3K). Thanks I think.That show looks even weirder than HR Puffenstuf. And Puffenstuf disturbed the shit out of me.

The spinning cage thing immediately reminded me of the Dreamachine of William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and Ian Sommerville.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamachine

The device uses the flicker effect to create brainwave changes in the viewer. I met a guy once who had a helmet which produced similar effects couple with sound frequencies. Never got to see the thing in action, which is probably for the best. He *cough* may also have been a member of the OTO, Temple of Set, and military intelligence.

I built a dreamachine once from heavy paper. Fairly easy, there are patterns all over the internet, except obtaining a 75 RPM turntable can be tough these days. It actually makes a stunning art piece, I made another for ornamentation with colored tissue paper in the slits.

When I tried meditating with it I got some interesting color and pattern effects, but no deep trance. But then again I don't go into trance easily.

"Sure thing, dad."

Reminds me of B F Skinner.
