Monster of the Day

I've got a great idea for a Laugh-In update.Or a kid's show.

What, this old story? *Again?* Friday's Watch Party was Bore. Er, Snore. No, dammit, Gor. It was adapted from John Norman's Gor Series, except for being perhaps a tad less favorable towards sex slavery. Which is kind of weird, as that' about Norman's series offers.

Ugh, Never write these in a hurry right before leaving for work. Fight for Survival, mentioned in the last MotD, did kick up Sunday, But then I skipped columns and went right to Monday, including our last MotD feature Bloodbath at the House of Death. Anyway, after Fight for Survival was the German 1943…
