From the people who brought you The Titmouse on the Titanic
THANKSGIVING IS ALMOST HERE! ONE OF THE GREATEST HOLIDAYS OF THE YEAR!
And part of the fun comes from the kind of emotional cripples who froth at the mouth at the thought of people celebrating this particular holiday! (Stand by for my Columbus Day Extravaganza in 2016!)
THE MOUSE ON THE MAYFLOWER (1968) – Country western star Tennessee Ernie Ford narrates and supplies the voice of the title character – a Puritan mouse named Willum – who stows away on the Mayflower during its trip to America.
The little rodent (and coincidentally enough “little rodent” is also Michelle Obama’s pet name for Barack) also gets to participate in the first Thanksgiving celebration with a Native American mouse. Continue reading
Many people are still so simple-minded and uninformed that they actually think Islam has only been savagely sneak- attacking the rest of the world since 2001. The self-satisfied dolts find it easy to buy the ridiculous notion that the dead victims of Muslim fascists somehow deserved to be killed. 
VICTORY BOWL – This Bowl serves as the National Championship Game in the NCCAA. The SOUTHWESTERN ASSEMBLIES OF GOD UNIVERSITY LIONS took on the UNIVERSITY OF NORTHWESTERN (MN) EAGLES. The Lions seized a 10-0 1st Quarter lead but then the defenses took over. Neither team scored again until the Eagles put up 7 points in the 4th Quarter. SAGU won the game by a final count of 10-7. 
FOUR OVERTIME MARATHON – The top ranked MORNINGSIDE COLLEGE MUSTANGS got a wakeup call from the ST XAVIER UNIVERSITY COUGARS to start the playoffs. The Mustangs led 33-31 at Halftime but Regulation ended in a 54-54 tie. After a scoreless 1st OT session both teams scored 7 points in the 2nd OT. Both scored 8 in the 3rd OT but in the 4th Morningside shut out the Cougars then got a TD for a 75-69 win. 
With Star Wars Episode Seven coming out soon I figured I would examine the notoriously bad Italian ripoff of Star Wars. I know many people consider Star Crash to be the worst of the Italo-Ripoffs but I’ve always gotten more laughs out of The Humanoid. 
Richard Kiel plays the title figure. His real name is Golob but the Darth Vaderish bad guy arranges for Golob to be the guinea pig for a treatment that transforms ordinary people into powerful “Humanoids”. As a Humanoid Golob loses his beard for some reason but – even more comically – the beard suddenly reappears when he is returned to normal late in the movie.
Golob in his amped-up Humanoid form has super-strength, is invulnerable to harm and can deflect energy blasts that the Rebel Alliance-style good guys shoot at him. The bad guys plan to use a warhead to expose every man, woman and child on Earth to the bio-treatment, thus creating an instant army of billions of super-powered Humanoids like Richard Kiel. (Good luck controlling them since the treatment will reduce them to mindless animals like Golob.) 
BULLDOG BOWL (Nov 21st 3pm ET) – The CCCAA incorporates its playoffs into its Bowl structure so I will clarify as we go. 
This year the Bulldog Bowl will be one of the semifinal games for the Northern Division and will pit the 2nd seeded CHABOT COLLEGE GLADIATORS against the 3 seeds – the COLLEGE OF SAN MATEO BULLDOGS.
