Les Bioniques (1988)



Dans un futur proche, la technologie est arrivée à son apogée sur Terre et pratiquement tout est possible : robots aux cerveaux mécaniques, voyages dans le temps etc. Malheureusement, la science n'est pas toujours utilisée à bon escient et que ce soit à cause d'esprits mégalomanes dangereux, de désastres naturels ou d'attaques extraterrestres, l'humanité est perpétuellement menacée. Pour trouver une solution, le professeur Sharp développe le "Bionic Concept", une technologie qui va faire d'une famille (2 parents et leurs 4 enfants) une escouade de superhéros au service du bien, et dotés de pouvoirs édifiants. Les Bioniques, accompagnés d'un singe mécanique amusant, protègent ainsi la Terre des agissements du Docteur Scarab et de tout danger mettant en jeu la sécurité des hommes.

Le Croque-Note Show (1986)



emission jeunesse le croque-note showLe Croc-Note Show est un dessin animé qui tourne autour du monde de la musique. Une souris martienne mélomane nous présente à chaque épisode un instrument de musique (du même nom que le titre de l'épisode), ou encore un sujet tout autant en rapport avec cet art dans la vie de tous les jours. Le ton est placé sous l’étoile de l’humour et de l’absurde.

A chaque rendez vous, le présentateur Croc-Note accompagné du professeur Corquignol tente de nous instruire en nous expliquant les différents métiers reliés à l’amour de la musique, comment lire une partition, les diverses familles d’instrument et leur utilisation, la musique dans la vie courante… mais très rapidement l’instrument est utilisé dans d’autres conditions, et on se rend rapidement compte que la musique, ce n'est pas du tout ce qu'on imagine !

Hou BBQ Festival 2016

Fresh off of the Red Dirt BBQ & Music Festival and a BBQ tour of East Texas, I was a little "tired" of barbecue. Blasphemy. I know. I think it is more of me eating in excess than anything. There was only a week between Red Dirt and the 2016 Houston BBQ Festival. It was a quick turnaround. I tried to eat lighter and more salads between the two. I ate all 23 booths at last year's event. I had no intentions of repeating that this year. There were 26 BBQ joints participating this time.

When Amber and I started the day, we were going to eat at a few of the tents. Try new or different items. We ended up eating at all of them. Bryan had eaten all of the bites within the first hour. I guess that got my competitive juices going. We somehow made it through the 26 booths. It was hot so we were drinking a lot of water. The salty meat made us even thirstier. We even stopped at Sonic on the way out of town during happy hour to further quench our thirst.

The Houston BBQ Festival is a great event to attend. It is well organized/planned, roomy, and has a ton of good eats. The event started a little early because a storm was supposed to roll through in the afternoon. The storm never came, and the skies opened up. It warmed up fast. I wish the event was held at a cooler time of the year. Not sure how logistically that is possible with so much going on in Houston though. That is my only complaint. The event is an excellent showcase to highlight the best that the Houston barbecue community has to offer. We always talk about moving to Houston. BBQ would not be the only reason, but it would definitely help Houston's case.

Until next time, happy smoking...
