Frazz by Jef Mallett for February 28, 2023

I love a good Buckaroo Bonzai reference. It’s my favorite obscure movie.

“Go” can be physical OR mental.

Buckaroo !

You can go wherever your imagination can take you.

Also said in Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome

One of the oddest movies I have ever seen.

I’ve been ionized, but I’m okay now.

Traveling is against the rules.. in basketball, anyway!

What’s that watermelon doing there?

that was good movie

I prefer to say, “No matter where you go, you are here.” For instance, if I asked you right now are you there or here, you would say that you are “here”.

First it was maps in the Boy Scouts, then charts in the Coast Guard, then all kinds of maps taking Physical Geology in college. Then maps again in the Army. To me they are, and always have been, fascinating. I guess I am a 1:25,000 (but 1:24,000 are ok) kind of guy.

Sorry Frazz, BB had it right, you’re just interpreting it wrong.

When I went to New York to run the Half-Marathon (2019), we toured the New York City public library and my wife fell in love with the Map Room! Who doesn’t love a good map?!?

Or Mike Brady

actually that line came from mad Max thunderdome the pig killer said it

Dear Frazz: Looking at a map of France is not like being in France.

I’m sorry, but someone had to tell you.

The minds knows no bounds when allowed to roam free of the constraints of this world. Holding onto the experiences is the difficult part.

Who knew that Buckaroo Bonzai would become Robocop?

I saw the movie for the first time in Germany. I haven’t seen it for the longest time.

What’s this?It’s your hand, Buckaroo!

It’s not obscure anywhere around me. I refer to it regularly.

Pogo said it first.

Or as my Blues playing Friend, Joe Price, once said: “If it wasn’t for us, we wouldn’t be here!”

I’m surprised that nobody seems to have mentioned the Buddhist idea!

You never know where you’re going ’til you get there. Sylvester the cat.

“Buckaroo Banzai” is one of the best comic book movies ever made (even though it wasn’t based on a comic book) and one of the smartest. It’s as crammed with visual gags as one of Mort Drucker’s “Mad” movie parodies and littered with head-turning throw-away lines. Personally, I think it’s an underrated masterpiece.

Before you insult someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when they come to get you, you’ll already be a mile away. And you’ll have their shoes.

He got enough things right.

Buckaroo Banzi…One of my favorite movies!!
