Random Thoughts with Garlic Knots

To the Batpoles!: BATMAN: The Movie!

I was watching the original Adam West Batman movie and I noticed that they had a device that changed their clothes as they slid down the bat-poles to the Bat-cave. It occurred to me that this means, for at least some of the way down, the two are sliding down poles side-by-side and naked. I’m wondering if they just avoid talking to one another during that period or do they also try to hold eye contact.

I own a “Spy Ladder” which is just like a normal ladder except the third rung is also a cyanide pill. On reflection, I should’ve bought the Swiss Army Ladder because at least it has a bottle opener and a corkscrew.

If someone asks you where you’d want to be buried, it might be an innocent question… unless the guy who asked it repeats your answer to the guy driving the car you’re in.

I wish I were in a relationship with a woman so I could break up with her; because I always break up with women at IHOPs and I’ve REALLY been craving pancakes lately…

  1. I for one would love a pole that changes my clothes, think of the time I’d save. Though at this point in my life I’d have to slide alone. No one needs that mental image to start their day.
    Funny story.. my husband had a friend in France who said the worst thing he ever found in America? Root beer.

    1. Yeah, I got the idea because my youngest’s wife is British and I had root bear as the beverage last thanksgiving. She hated it… a lot.

      Personally, I LOVE root beer. Don’t you people in New England have a weird-tasting soda that never is sold outside that area?

  2. Thank you for pointing out just one of the many things that are awesome about Adam West Batman. You should look up the youtube video where they dubbed Adam West into the new Batman movie. It’s kind of amazing

      1. You’re running out of inspiration, not ideas. You’ll find both again, I’m sure of it. I’m not sure if you’ve done the following, but some potential ideas: gourds, greenhouses, catnip, climbing ivy, and scarves.

      1. Prior to my Covid experience, doing something “easy” I called “doing nothing.” Now, getting out of bed is “something.” (You don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone kinda thing like the song says…bla bla bla cliche trope…but it’s true…)

    1. You should’ve know never to date me a priori… I’m terrifying in person.

      Glad you liked that one. I was going to take it out because I had eleven and only needed ten. I didn’t even try it on my son… Although, I think he humors me, no pun intended.

    Well, you gotta be more resourceful, man. Just start a relationship there, and then end it right there in the same trip.
