2. California Speedway

I wonder if Arnold Schwarzenegger ever imagined while filming "The Terminator" on the dilapidated grounds of the old Kaiser Steel factory that he would one day return there. Not for a sequel to the movie -- indeed, not even as an actor. But that he would be the Governor of the state, and the Kais...

3. Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip

Plain and simple -- I miss "Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip". During it's too short time on the air, it quickly became one of my favorites. It was a fantastic ensemble show with great dialogue and cast interaction. Why was it cancelled? Why didn't more viewers get it? I may not be able to answ...

4. The Rocky Horror Picture Show

I remember my first time at "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". I went with a bunch of friends who had all already been and they took great care of me. It was the best time ever, I think I smiled for two days. The audience definitely makes the show when you go see it. Yes, you can buy a video of...

7. C-3PO: The Neediest Droid Ever

Somebody else always has to get poor C-3PO out of the latest jam he has gotten himself into. The nice thing about Threepio is he knows he is not a hero or a great warrior and would much rather stay at home. That just never works out for him.

9. Captain Kirk

Captain Kirk has been in my life forever. Star Trek is one of the first television shows I can remember watching. Thank heavens that's a lot cooler to admit these days - it used to be something I had to hide from my friends lest they try to put me in a rehab program. But, now I am allowed to e...

10. Mowgli

I loved Mowgli long before I saw the Disney movie. As a character in Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book" I was fascinated with this wild boy. I often wondered how cool it must have been to have been raised by wolves and to have a panther and a bear as your best friends. The Disney movie did no...

80. Titan Arum: The Smelliest Flower Ever

Well, when a flower is nicknamed "corpse flower", you rather get the hint that it's not going to be like smelling roses and fresh cookies to be next to it. The smell doesn't last long, but while it's there - watch out!

81. Moonlighting

Ah yes, the adventures of David and Maddie. I loved "Moonlighting". It was funny, well written, and had a cast with some serious chemistry going. They set the bar for shows to follow in my opinion. And, now you can't find them anywhere if you don't own them or didn't tape them when they were ...

When I first started seriously following NASCAR a few years back, Bobby Labonte was one of the drivers I did some research on. I was impressed both with his track record (an unavoidable pun, sorry), and with him as a person. He's changed numbers and sponsors since then, but he's still a great d...

Chewbacca is without a doubt the biggest co-pilot you will ever meet, or fly with. Might be the only Wookie you'll fly with also. He's almost a foot and a half taller than pilot Han Solo. (But, he doesn't like to talk about his weight - and I'm not gong to ask.)
