Fantastic Planet (French: La Planète sauvage; Czech: Divoká planeta, lit. 'The Wild Planet') is a 1973 French-language experimental independent adult animated science fiction art film. The movie was an international co-production between companies from France and Czechoslovakia. The allegorical story, about humans living on a strange planet dominated by giant humanoid aliens who consider them animals, is based on the 1957 novel Oms en série by French writer Stefan Wul. Fantastic Planet was the first animated movie to be rated PG in the US, and as such, many kids were inadvertently taken to see the film, only to be left with nightmares from some of the more complex topics and related visuals.

Howard Dean began his presidential big at number eight of a dozen potential Democrat contenders in May 2002. In March 2003 he gave a speech critical of party leadership at the California Democratic Convention that attracted the attention of grassroots activists and set the tone of his candidacy. By Fall 2003, Dean had become the front-runner, with an army of supporters known as 'Deaniacs' behind him. Things were looking good for Dean, but at an energetic rally on the evening of January 19, 2004, Dean emitted a shrieking scream that many claim ended his political career. The “Dean Scream,” as it quickly came to be known, was a unique and revealing moment in early-21st century American politics.

Carson Pirie Scott & Co. (CSP) was an American department store founded in 1854, which grew to over 50 locations, primarily in the Midwest. The chain began in 1854 when Samuel Carson and John Thomas Pirie first clerked in Murray's Dry Goods in Peru, Illinois, then opened their own store in LaSalle, followed by one in Amboy. John Edwin Scott ran a dry goods store in Ottawa, Illinois, and later moved up to Chicago as a partner in creating CSP. When Schlesinger & Mayer went bankrupt in 1904, CSP bought their store at 1 South State Street on the corner of East Madison in 1904. The grand building would become CSP's flagship store for 114 years until the CSP closed down in 2018.

SilverHawks is a carton series developed by Rankin/Bass Productions in 1986 as a space-based equivalent of their previous series, Thunder Cats. As with earlier works, the animated series was accompanied by an action figure line as well as a comic book series. The plot finds a bionic space enforcer called Commander Stargazer recruited by the SilverHawks, cybernetic heroes who fight evil. Specifically, they fight Mon*Star, an escaped alien crime boss who transforms into an enormous armor-plated creature with the help of Limbo's Moonstar. Joining Mon*Star in his villainy is an intergalactic mob. The series ran for a single season of 65 episodes, and the comics and toy line didn't come out until the show was in syndication the following year.

Burger World is a fictional fast food restaurant and recurring location in Beavis and Butt-Head. The boys managed to hold part-time jobs there, despite being just awful employees. They routinely wreak havoc as they goof off and fail to perform simple tasks, including taking orders. They have also damaged the drive-thru speaker, rearranged letters on the menu to spell something disgusting or vulgar, fried just about every kind of small creature there is, stolen money from the register, and slowed service so badly that everybody left. Despite all this, the manager has kept them employed. He puts up with their goofing off and never fires them. It's possible that because of the duo's antics, Burger World is a horrible place to work...

Lufkin Foundry & Machine Company was founded in 1902 in Lufkin, Texas as a repair shop and parts supply house for regional sawmills. The company ventured into the petroleum industry and manufactured the first enclosed geared pumping unit, and a counterbalanced crank that improved the pumping unit and made a name for the company worldwide. In 1939, the company bought the Martin Wagon and Trailer Company, established the Lufkin Trailers to manufacture heavy-duty truck trailers. Leveraging their extensive design experience, Lufkin began building the lightest and toughest trailers in the industry, and could barely keep up with demand. In 1970, a new 400 acre trailer plant was built south of Lufkin, allowing production to meet demand.

In saloons of the Old West, you would order whiskey by the width of the bartender's finger. If you asked for two fingers of whiskey, you would get straight, room-temperature spirit poured in an old-fashioned glass to the height of two fingers. In 1976, this digit based measuring method was invoked in naming Two Fingers Tequila, with marketing leaning heavily on the name's double entendre. Ads featured headlines like 'two fingers is all it takes,' accompanied by beautiful women in a pair of tight jeans and a Two Fingers shirt. The ads were a hit, so they began offering the t-shirt as a $6.95 mail order deal. As for the liquor, it apparently wasn't that bad, but also wasn't exactly all that great, but that's what marketing is for, right?

Fastway were an English metal band formed in 1982. They released their self-titled debut in 1983, which was both a critical and commercial success. A second album, All Fired Up, dropped in 1984, but failed to get traction due to the rise of glam. In 1985, the group released Waiting for the Roar, which was more of an album-oriented rock sound, instead of the bluesy-metal of the previous albums. Success was limited, and disappointed many fans, but the same year, Fastway was approached to make the soundtrack for the heavy metal horror film Trick or Treat. The film flopped, but the soundtrack re-established Fastway as a hard-hitting metal band. The soundtrack was a moderate success and stayed on the Top 200 chart for eleven months.

In 1922, two friends formed a partnership to haul sand and gravel during the early Los Angeles boom. They started on credit, buying 15 dump trucks, but soon, the fleet grew to 26 units. In 1929, C&T added tankers to move petroleum. In 1936, they purchased Western which allowed them to move into dry freight, and then in 1956, purchasing Gillette Motor Freight had them changing names to Western Gillette Motor Freight and reaching Chicago and serving 1,400 cities in between. By the ’70s, the company had over 2,000 employees operating out of 52 company terminals in 15 States and a fleet of over 1,000 trucks. In 1976 the company was sold to Roadway, marking the end of Western Gillette, and C&T, as well as their signature 'sunshine service.'

Opening the gateway makes her fall from the heavenly kingdom to the realm below, a wild land ruled by the cruel Emperor Dante and his countless minions. The princess' only means of survival is to traverse a long, dangerous road and challenge the brutal Dante herself. Princess Athena has gone on to appear in later fighting games by SNK as a secret character or assistant to players.

Reimer Express Lines was founded in 1952 when 19-year-old Donald S. Reimer of Steinbach, Manitoba convinced his father and brothers to join him in starting a trucking company. Their original route was between Winnipeg and Windsor, Ontario, with Winnipeg as the head office. By December, Reimer added Windsor to Vancouver, and had extended to Toronto by 1956. In 1968 Reimer was acquired by Canadian conglomerate Neonex, but in 1971, the Reimer family bought the company back. Reimer continued to grow and expand through before ultimately being sold again in 1997 to Roadway, who themselves would be bought just six years later by Yellow. Yellow operated Reimer as an independent line until 2019, at which point the Reimer name was retired.

Hyder, Alaska was established in 1907 as Portland City, taking its name from Portland Canal, the 130-mile fjord it sat at the head of. The Post Office said there were too many towns named Portland, so it was renamed Hyder, after a local mining engineer. Hyder's boom years were the '20s, and '30s when miners were pulling lots of gold from the area. Hyder became a bustling port to supply mining operations, but as gold yields faltered, so did the town. With a population of under 100 today, it's easy to see why they refer to Hyder as "the friendliest ghost town in Alaska." Hyder is only accessible by road from Stewart, British Columbia, and sees more than 100,000 tourists annually, including many long-distance motorcycle riders.

Arkanoid: Doh It Again is a console game released in January 1997 in Japan, and globally by the end of the year. It was developed as a sequel to the original 1986 arcade release of Arkanoid, and the story picks up five years after the events of the original, in which the spacecraft Vaus defeated DoH with its energy ball. In the 9th stardawn, Commander Therle writes a log entry recounting the defeat of DoH and stating that their search for a new home goes on. After the player defeats the boss on round 33, Vaus escapes DoH's realm and returns to the Arkanoid, where it is now the 14th stardawn. The planet was only a hoax created by DoH.

With a name giving a nod to the American flag, it seems appropriate that Red White & Blue Beer (RWB) was first introduced in 1899, just in time for the 4th of July weekend. Early ad campaigns extolled the beer’s mellow taste, drinkability, and low price point, the one that got plenty of mileage out of their “honest beer for an honest price” slogan. The patriotic themed cans and rock bottom price point made RWB a hit right out the gate, and while prohibition briefly killed the brew in 1920, it was resurrected with the 1933 repeal, and didn't miss a beat. RWB picked up where they left off and continued on to become a favorite working man's beer in the '50s and '60s, and continued to be brewed well into the '90s before finally fading away.

Back in 1964 when Roger Miller sang "well the moon is high, and so am I," we're pretty sure he wasn't speaking literally. But who knows, maybe after a long night shift, perhaps the man in the moon actually does kick back and smoke a jay to unwind?

Every set in New York City in the '70s and '80s includes a graffiti-covered subway, and for good reason - this was what things were like underground. The illegible urban hieroglyphics gave a sense that the trains were controlled by wild gangs of teenagers... which was kind of true. The fight to keep trains free of graffiti was nonstop, but in 1984, an incoming president of the NYC Transit Authority declared war on graffiti. Leveraging a variety of tactics, major inroads were made in keeping trains clean and free of graffiti. If a car was painted on, it was taken out of service and cleaned - no cars would run with graffiti on them. In May 1989, victory was declared in the anti-graffiti war, though the actual success is debatable.

The Return of the Living Dead is a 1985 horror comedy film about an accidental release of a horde of unkillable, brain-hungry zombies. Described as a mordant punk comedy, the film is known for introducing multiple popular concepts to the zombie genre: zombies specifically eating brains, and zombies being invulnerable to a gunshot to the head. The film's soundtrack was noteworthy, as it featured several Los Angeles-based metal and punk bands of the era. On his first day at Uneeda Medical Supply, poor Freddy unwittingly releases nerve gas from an old military canister, unleashing an unbelievable terror. The gas re-animates corpses, who arise from their graves with a ravenous hunger for human brains... zombie killing comedy ensues!

‘Make Love Not War’ emerged out of the 1'60s protest movement to epitomize the aspirations of the decade, but what if you're just not feeling it? Well, how about 'Make Lunch Not War' ...? I mean, who doesn't like a good sandwich? Beats the hell out of bombing another country, and if you invite folks from that country, they'll not only enjoy a nice sandwich as well, but will probably not want to bomb you either. Feel the love.

Slik Toxik was formed in '88 from the Toronto hard rock band Portrait, which was later renamed Slik Toxik after some lineup changes. Capitol signed the band in '91 and issued an EP, 'Smooth And Deadly,' followed in '92 by the full album 'Doin' the Nasty,' both of which were recorded at Phase One in Toronto. Despite an enthusiastic grassroots following and considerable recognition, the '90s proved to be rough sailing for the band. Their second album, 'Irrelevant' was released in '94, and despite the efforts of all involved, the record was not well received by the grunge-obsessed public.

Founded in 1964 in Columbus, Ohio, Nationwise was a chain of auto parts stores in the United States with a loveable mascot known as 'Motor Earl.' In 1974, Nationwise partnered with Columbus-based engine builders, The Rod Shop, sponsoring a series of highly successful drag racecars. In stores, a Rod Shop section was created as kind of a speed shop inside of a parts store. In addition to go fast goodies from all the big names, Nationwise also sold Rod Shop branded performance parts. These parts were typically embossed with NRS (Nationwise Rod Shop), making them easy to identify by collectors, even decades later. The partnership ended in 1987, and less than a decade later, Nationwise became insolvent, and closed all stores on October 15, 1995.

Various power-ups which increase the vehicle's attributes can be chosen at various stages of the game.

MD 20/20 is a fortified wine known for its high alcohol content, range of fruity flavors, and for being incredibly affordable. Called Mad Dog by imbibers, the name comes from the original maker's initials, coupled with it being sold in 20-ounce bottles with a high octane ABV of 20%. While a lot of crazy flavors have come out over the years, Red Grape Wine was the original, and arguably the most popular. Over time, the size of the bottles got bigger, and the ABV went down, but the real ones remember the real deal packing 20% ABV. Or maybe not, as too much Mad Dog can erase selected memories, leaving entire weekends a bit foggy.

Excelsior Motor Manufacturing & Supply Company was an American motorcycle manufacturer operating in Chicago from 1907 to 1931. In 1912, an Excelsior was the first motorcycle to be officially timed at a speed of 100 mph, and by 1928, Excelsior was the third-largest manufacturer in the U.S. motorcycle market, but they would never make it to second place. In 1929, the stock market crash and the resulting Great Depression caused motorcycle sales to plummet. Excelsior ceased operations in September 1931, putting an end to one of America's earliest motorcycle manufacturers and popular bikes like the Big X and Super X.

Jarts, were all the rage in the ’70s and ’80s. A few Jarts, a few friends, and a few beers, American backyard-barbecue-goers would lay down small plastic hoops as targets and play a game not entirely unlike horseshoes. In 1982, folks in Eastern, Washington decided to hold the First Annual Tri-Cities Jarts Championship event at Columbia Park in Kennewick, Washington. Attracting as many as 200 contestants, law darts were flying everywhere that Saturday, and a good time was had by everyone. Well, other than those involved in several Jart related incidents, but luckily for them, Tri-Cities Ambulance was the event sponsor, so they were taken care of relatively quickly. Needless to say, the second annual event would never happen as intended.

The thrash metal genre emerged in the early '80s as musicians began fusing the double bass drumming and complex guitar stylings of the new wave of British heavy metal with the speed and aggression of hardcore punk. Philosophically, thrash metal developed as a backlash against both the conservatism of the Reagan era and the much more moderate, pop-influenced, and widely accessible heavy metal subgenre of glam metal which also developed concurrently in the 1980s. The songs usually use fast percussive beats and low-register guitar riffs, overlaid with shredding-style lead guitar work. The lyrical subject matter often includes criticism of The Establishment, opposition to armed conflicts, and at times shares a disdain for religion.
