To whom it may concern: I've been attempting to post several videos and keep running into a "403 Error" message, instead. Is there trouble on the website? Will this forum go the way of forums on The Internet Movie Database and Last.FM? Will this test message get through or be blocked, as well? If it's curtains for this forum, thanks for the opportunity to post videos and opinion about Pop culture. Things being what they are, YouTube may be the last one standing...until Google sells out to Hollyweird and forces a choice between Rumble and other, smaller forums. Here's what pops up when I try to post a video: 403 ERROR The request could not be satisfied. Request blocked. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time.

Paramount's incompetent Nu Treklers' latest TV show has been roundly roasted. Press PLAY to find out how/if 40,000 was the actual worldwide audience for this "Diverse Colors of Benetton" mess. Oh, you want to know how many "butterfly sneezes" that is? Traffic in 1968: "40,000 Headmen"

The day after April Fooles ruled the roost, here's a "Davidus Bowiem" song. Press PLAY to hear what was on the Roman Senate's Hit Parade. Be ye Foole or Hero?;)

The "Real Life Fake Wizard" has a disturbing message to deliver. Press PLAY to find out where children go, because Hollywood is focused on "obsolete children," these days. What say you, who are newly arrived adults to this "hearts and minds battleground?

I was on YouTube, wondering about an IP that DEI/Woke Hollyweird hadn't trashed when I remembered the long-ago comic book, "Turok: Son of Stone." A search on YouTube turned up this 93 minute movie and a First Person Shooter game from 2008. Press PLAY to become an American Indian warrior who fights against an invading tribe, only to land in the Era of Dinosaurs. I wonder if Duane Johnson would mind playing "Indians and Dinosaurs" in a "live action" Disney movie?;)

Found on YouTube while looking for the comic book character "Turok, Son of Stone." Press PLAY for 2 hours of dodging Dinosaurs on a strange planet, while hunting for a rogue Army deserter. Have fun. Don't die. Bring back the sumbitch.;) "Turok Son of Stone" (2008) Animated movie...

I ran across this "Dixie" variation in a collection of "Rare versions of 'Dixie." I hoped that the YouTube algorithm would point me to that song, and here we are. All hail the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and other lies of the colonial era? Oh well, it's a bright "march to victory" song that you can march across Asia...

Hey Burford, whut's that playing on the Beijing city wall? It's "Clove Mountain," of course! Press PLAY to hear Something Completely Different, played by Li Wencheng and his band in the 1960's! (YouTube is messing with me again!;) Does this version of "Dixie" sound more Hillbilly than a Confederate camp band?;) Chinese man on Erhu does "Dixie" with a Confederate camp band...? "Clove Mountain" by 1930's singer Wang Renmei

Cleaning up the office, Matt found two things to talk about. Press PLAY to find out how far "Maxell" has fallen, and how a Snowsky (by Fiio) digital file player fared on test. One connects to an older version of Android, while the other "shows a virtual compact cassette" playing. These are very basic units, which "Techmoan" wondered if he was spoiled by "play/do everything" modern electronics.

Every now and then, YouTube will "submit for your approval" old videos. Press PLAY if you want to see the "texting story" where Louise kissed Regular Size Rudy on Valentine's Day. Rudy's crush, Chloe Barbash was milking him for academic answers, and nothing else. (I've read that this was the Season 7, episode 9, "Bob Actually.") It's the beginning of a fascinating progression over time for the "Rudy and Louise" ship.;)

It's late March, possibly Spring for some, so here's Something Completely Different. Press PLAY to find out which kinds of Japanese beer a trio of Mexican dads like.
