Indy, smurfs & Doctor Who!

All in this years Halloween episode of The Big Bang Theory (season 6, episode 5)!

Raj Koothrappali comes up with a decent Halloween costume: “I was thinking of dressing up like Indiana Jones’ mocha skinned love child, Indian Jones”

So I grabbed this Idol of Fertility and I ran from a giant boulder right into your arms, Papa Smurf! Oh, Hello Smurfette...

Happy Halloween!

late thought: I was writing about Indy and smurfs before. I smell a conspiracy!

Finding Indy in all the wrong places ...

... again. Whenever you think you have see it all, you will get a weird email to proof you wrong. I would have never believed in the existence of something like an Indiana Jones Burlesque before I got a press release from the Gorilla Tango Theatre:

Surprisingly, this advert does neither show boobs nor a temple.

"What's That Shorty? The Indiana Jones Burlesque at GTT has been around for a whole year? Yes, you heard right, Dr. Jones - TEMPLE OF BOOBS: AN INDIANA JONES BURLESQUE celebrates its one year anniversary this Friday, October 26th! Come be a part of the funniest, silliest burlesque parody never directed by Steven Spielberg - Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory."

Thanks for the laugh and congratulations for your successful show ladies!

A Hymn to Raiders!

Unexpected Indy finding of the day: In the video to Ultravox's 1982 song "Hymn", the lead singer Midge Ure get his own Raiders moment. The best of the 80ties together: new wave synthpop and Indy ;-)

Relic Worlds

Always wondered what an Indiana Jones/SciFi crossover would look like? Wonder no longer! I was contacted by a creative writer about his project Relic Worlds - The Adventures of Lancester James.

Here is a brief introduction into the world of this 24th century adventurer:
Lancaster James is traveling the galaxy in search of lost alien civilizations.  He explores ancient ruins on distant planets to find long lost artifacts that give him clues to some of the greatest mysteries of the universe.

There is lots to find in the world setting of the Relic Worlds, including regular pulp fiction style Short Stories. If you are interested in SciFi and Indy, take a look.

Health and Safety, Dr. Jones!

Time flies by and I have not posted about Indy for a while. Time to get back with this brilliant video I found this morning in my mail:

Comedian Tom McDonnell has written and sings this little song and I have to say: Well done sir! Same to the team who did the hilarious video. Amazing how similar the place and the folks are to the office I spend half of my life in ;-)
