Today’s BEST CONCEPTS… Pick one, then DRIVE…

I always get asked the question… “Which one is your fav, Fireball?” And to me, my fav is always… the one with 4 wheels. Unless,… it’s got only two and it’s cool.

That being said, I like ‘em all. So, I’ll need to drive them all. There, I said it. How about you? Let’s vote…

Maybe you’ve seen these before, but they are worth a look again. Trailers are in themselves, Mini-Movies. And many can be better than the actual film, but the below were the best in SciFi for this year.

“LUNACY”   by Anthony and Ethan Lawrence

“You gonna be there next month, Doc?” Ronny grinned because he knew the answer before he asked the question. They all looked up to Doc. He was the King of Lunatics.

“Hell, yes.”

They were tough men and women who lived life on the edge, engaged in adventure so extreme that death was a constant threat. They gained reputations and the sobriquet of “Lunatics” by racing on the moon where lunar gravity, cold, craters, and the speed of their self-constructed fusion-powered rocket vehicles made the sport extremely dangerous.  Navigating with MPS that was made possible by Japan’s SELENE 5 and China’s CHANGE’E 3 lunar orbiters, it was NASCAR on the moon and a hell of lot riskier. Twenty-three men and women, their wardrobe and ships adorned with Earth Side advertisements, had died in horrific and spectacular crashes on the moon’s surface since the races began.

It was a sport that, despite (or because of) the dangers to even those serving as pit crews, had increased in galactic popularity since the turn of the century, and 2300 promised new thrills and new jeopardy for a small band of high risk space pilots. The winners of the sport now had an even more hazardous pursuit to aim for, by moving on to illegal interplanetary competition in newly invented racing spacecraft that were now able to achieve some amazing targeted velocities.

“Be goin’ ta Mars next year,” Doc stated simply with that air of confidence that many misinterpreted as arrogance. But Doc just knew what he could do and never doubted himself.

Doc’s Mars voyage would come sooner than he predicted. When the August Intergalactic race competitors were neck-and-neck around the 6,784 mile circumference of the Earth Side along the moon’s Equatorial Region, the veteran pilot pushed his AT117 Raptor moon racer to its maximum capacity. Determined to beat Ronnie, he opened her up along Southwestern Oceanus Procellarum and, when his velocity began to exceed the moon’s gravitational field strength of 1.6N/ kg, the sleek vehicle suddenly became airborne where there was no air.

Ronnie glanced up through his silica glass dome windshield and saw his best friend soaring up into black space and he whispered hoarsely to himself with secret admiration.

“Hell yes..”

Holiday Antics with the FIREBALL… ain’t all Fireball… #christmas #holiday

So, after a night of opening presents with my son Sean and his girl, Isla… the next day we headed to ma Bro’s to eat… MORE. And it was beastly. We chowed down like a Croc to a lunchmeat parade. Can you visualize that?

Anyway, here’s the highlights…

Some wee Holiday Humor… KEEP IT SAFE PEOPLE!

An elderly man in Oklahoma calls his son in New York and says, “I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 45 years of marriage… and that much misery is enough!”

“Dad, what are you talking about?” the son yells!

“We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer,” dad explains. “We’re sick of each other, and I’m sick of talking about this. So you call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her!”

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. “Like heck they’re getting divorced,” she shouts! “I’ll take care of this.”

She calls her father immediately, and screams at him, “You are not getting divorced!! Don’t do a single thing until I get there! I’m calling my brother back, and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t do a thing, you hear me?!” And she hangs up the phone.

The dad also hangs up and then turns to his wife. “Okay,” he says. “It’s all set! They’re both coming for Christmas and paying for their own air-fare!”
