Do you have a lot of Finnish made radiators in Sweden, or what? On a specific type of radiator (electrical) there is a sticker with that text in Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish. The one I remember used to be right next to the toilet in my childhood home, so you had plenty of opportunity to study it closely. I don´t think they were finnish-made though.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-11-2005 04:31 PM                   |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

Right?  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-12-2005 10:01 PM                  Close Jeff, but no cigar. That's actually Ron Sweed who, in the 1970's (Good eye, Paul!), created "The Ghoul" on WKBF-TV in Ohio...an imitator of the original Ernie Anderson's "Ghoulardi" when Anderson moved to Hollywood and became an announcer for ABC-TV. When Sweed's Ohio show got cancelled in the mid 70's, he left Ohio and moved to WKBD ch 50 in Detroit...where I first knew him. His format was hosting cheesy "B" sci-fi movies and then doing funny bits at commercial breaks... sorta the forerunner to MST2000. He used to like torturing a character known as "Froggie"... a doofus-looking, foot-tall, plastic frog in a tux ... I remember one night he put an M-80 firecracker in "Froggie" and lit it Live on TV. It was hilarious... the color TV camera couldn't deal with the concussion and freaked out into separate R,G, B images and then finally regained it's registered pic... too funny!  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 08-13-2005 01:28 PM                        quote: Janne Salminen Hello Jeremy!

It is some crappy theater that Gordon took pictures of: Look at the column that the arrows are point at. For the sake of argument, let's say that the Coke tower in the pic is to the EAST of the photographer. Look at the top of the column and it looks like it's surface or reflection or whatever the hell it is faces WEST. Look at the bottom and it's surface faces SOUTH! What the hell? And there is a staircase in this 1-foot wide hallway as well! (Hint: It's all just a reflection) AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!  |  IP: Logged
