The Goat Head Thorn And You!

Another film unearthed from the storage locker of a now-defunct, small, Burbank production company. Hey, if this thing gives you nightmares, don't come crying to me!

I remember watching this educational short in grammar school back in the 50's (along with "Duck and Cover"). Thanks for bringing back some sweet memories.

I wonder if hiding under your desk really is an effective defense against an atomic blast. Well, if the government says so, it must be true. They wouldnt lie to little kids, would they?

Great video, Joe. Glad the tubes were the only real victims, obviously film work can be quite dangerous sometimes. :D

And you didnt even see the thorn eradication/explosion sequence that we left on the cutting room floor

Goaty head , Proof God did not go barefoot, or ride a bike!

Well, you still could use them in a followup. 'The Return of the Goat Head Devils', or something like that. :)

And nothing against former child stars, but a few (semi) naked girls running away screaming probably would better help to increase its popularity. But then, of course, the scientific approach would get lost. :)

Ha! Yeah, we missed you for most of the group shots in that moonlight ride video because you had gone ahead to the rest room. Were you running a headlight that night? I didnt see it on the video. Wooden stilts?! Prizes, too?! Now Im really jealous. I would have been happy with the doll house. :)

I think my lone tail-light is visible for a split second in that first moonlight ride video. Also, there was a serious glitch at the Capain Satellite show, when I got there, they had a nice doll house as my consolation prize. When they realized I was not a girl, they had to scramble to dig up some sort of replacement. I got a really useful set of wooden stilts,,, nice

Im jealous! I used to dream of being on Captain Satellite, Captain-Cosmic or Captain-Delta when I was a kid, but alas, I had to just sit at home and watch all those other kids having all the fun. Why were they all captains, with no majors or colonels? Im sure youll wind up in one of these videos sooner or later, Jan, whether you want to or not. ;)
