No Show! But: Heckin' Spooky

NO SHOW Friday 6 September 2024. But: SPOOKY SZN is here!

An old-fashioned television test pattern is distorted in purple, magenta and orange hues. The text NO SHOW THIS WEEK hovers in front of the Phoole jester hat logo in the center.

I need a week off from Phoole & the Gang this week - so please rewind our WORK SHOW or, indeed, any one of 489 past Phoole & the Gang shows! Archives are at phoole.com/rewind.


Here is a speed-through preview of just some of the WORK SHOW tunes!



SPOOKY TIMES

PHOOLEOWEEN is coming! Mr. Mystical Jazzskull Doot Doot is here - he looks an awful lot like Uncle Fweddy, but, honestly, without skin, SO DO YOU.

Cathy Jarboe is the original artist of this magnificent pixel pile, but this version of her image was rendered in blocktastic 800 x 600 resolution on a Compaq FS7600 by Reddit user u/kilmire. Quoth the comments:


if you see this jpeg file while scrolling you have been visited by the trumpet skelton of the abyss good bones and calcium will come to you but only if you comment 'thank mr skeltal' on this picture

Do YOU know about Mystical Mr. Jazzskull Doot Doot? Watch this doco immediately.



Tiffany and I have been preparing the SPOOKY ITEMS that will soon decorate our lawn, including but not limited to our new twelve-foot tall Uncle Fweddy! If you live in Metric-World, that's over THREE AND A HALF METERS (METRES) TALL.


What spooky books are you reading, in order to decorate the inside of your skull for Spooky Season? I'm re-reading these:


And of course the Big Bradbury Three: Ray Bradbury, THE OCTOBER COUNTRY, THE HALLOWEEN TREE, and SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES. Every great bookseller has these, and so does your public library!


One-Armed Fitness Girl

I hurt my elbow a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't want to miss out on fitness. I discovered that SuperNatural VR on the Meta Quest 3 has a single-controller mode - so I could keep smashing targets with one arm while the other arm heals!


I wanted you to know about this in case you ever hurt your arm, but you still want to smash targets in SuperNatural VR. You can do it. It still delivers great workouts if you do it right - engage your core and recruit your whole body to support your movements! You can do it one-handed!


Are YOU a SuperNatural superstar too? Find me - I'm Phoole MKE on there! I work out for an hour every heckin' day. Tiffany works out with SuperNatural now too!
