The dwarf is insane but crafty

The thing about the conspiracy is that it hides in plain sight. You
could never hide a thing that large. Eventually some intrepid souls
would root it out. So how do you hide a GLOBAL CABAL spanning
CENTURIES?

Easy, overload people with so much information that they will never
see the obvious thing right in front of them. "The fish is the last
one to be aware of the water". When you do see it, it's always
mind-boggling how obvious it is. By making it ultra visible and
banal, they ensure that everybody ignores it intentionally.

Happy Days. Remember that show? Have you noticed that -everybody- on
that show is now a director? Richie, Laverne, even Fonzie took a shot
at it.

Now look at the movies they make. In fact I was just about to post
this when somebody else posted about Richie's "humble pie Americana"
movies.

That's what they -all- make. They make movies about NORMAL people.
REGULAR people. About how great it is to be BORING. What really got
me thinking about this was a preview from Laverne's movie, "Riding in
cars with boys". This movie is basically about a sexually charged
hotty who grows up to become a boring and typically neurotic
housewife. And of course, like ALL of these movies, the moral of the
story is that is what you SHOULD do. That is what you MUST do.

And then I really got thinking about it and that's what ALL their
movies are. How great it is to be a NORMAL person.

I have to admit, Richie's "Backdraft" is at least somewhat an
exception, but the rest are right in line there.

A -huge part- of the american film crop every year is exactly the
same. Forrest Gump. AI more recently. How many movies do they put
out every year that the moral is how GREAT it is to be NORMAL, BORING,
AND INEFFECTUAL?

THE LOWING OF THE HERD!

THEY are struggling desperately to keep us from BECOMING UBERMENSCH!
And womensch. And it all has it's EERIE ROOTS in SEVENTIES SITCOM
STARS! Look at Robin William's run of dribbeling pablum.

They want to stop us from DREAMING THE DREAMS OF GODS

I just went to the internet movie database to try to gather more data.
For the first time, they had an 'update privacy policy' posted, and I
had to 'accept', and accept a cookie verifying that I had done so,
before I could get in. COINCIDENCE!? Sure. I looked up Henry
Winkler to look up his director credits. Whatever link I clicked, it
would only show me

Filmography as: Actress,
Producer,
Director,
Notable TV guest appearances
Actress - filmography
(2000s) (1990s) (1980s) (1970s)
I Shaved My Legs for This (2001) .... Bartender

There's a LINK for 'director', but it just takes you to "Actress
filmography"

COINCIDENCE!? OR PERHAPS -THEY- DON'T WANT ME TO DELVE FURTHER?

NAH

RICHIE MUST DIE! They have gained far too much ground already.

They must ALL die, before it's too late. Richie, fonzie, potsie,
ralph, they are ALL in on it.

DEATH TO ALL THE HAPPY DAYS LIZARDS!

OK that was all I wanted to say.

Exactly! And when people who are aware of the CONspiracy
point it out to their poor Pink cousins, the Pinks demand that
"it can't happen here." They don't want to believe that George
Bush is engaged in a religious war with the profit incentive of
oil for his own family -- a good example. The level of the CON
is too profound and too well documented for Pinks to accept
the fact.

Of course. And while pretending to be bucking the
established CON, the actors during the show's history
was actually giving in to the parents, to the Authority,
and to the establishment at the end of every episode.
Every episode where the young punks exercised their
own judgement and went against the CON, there was
disaster which was always fixed by the parents, the cops,
or some other Authority who gently led the misguided
youth back on to the indicated path.

And to sucker the Pinks the CON brought in a hooligan
biker who did nothing but fuck and smoke -- at least
that was the _claim_ and the _legend_ they created
about him. Only in every episode which supposedly wild
biker always did the right thing, the established thing, the
thing that the CON wants everyone to do.

And his claim for not burning down schools, dinking Ms.
Cunningham and the little girl? (And maybe Richie once in
a while?) That wouldn't be "cool." The hell it wouldn't be!

Just _one_ episode where Joanie gets pregnate by her
father and has to get an abortion while Richie stands
naked in front of the mirror lamenting the size of his dick
and then there'd be an episiode which _really_ reflected
the life of the average High School kids of the 1960's.

But the CON doesn't want Pinks to know what Amerikkkan
history was really. Father _didn't_ know best.

I just saw "Bandits". I'm sick of Bruce Willis, and the movie was
kind of a dopey Meg Ryan-ish effort at best, but THE ROBBERS WON

I was overjoyed.

Thirty years since we theoretically 'freed our minds' in the sixties,
but we still just can't make a movie where any kind of law-breaker
fails to get offed violently in the end.

That was the BEAUTY of having Henry Winkler play the part. Henry
Winkler is the most complete milquetoast in the world, outside of the
role. One of those white people that it's just embarrasing to watch.

In some of the early episodes he did manage to convey a sense of
THREAT but that was quickly diluted and the outlaw biker became a
colorful self-parodying clown. Since Winkler was the complete
opposite of the character as written, it was an inevitable and smooth
transition.

The thing about Fonzie, actually -watching- the show, is that you know
he -never- gets laid, and he -never- actually does anything illegal.
It's all made fairly clear in the context of the episodes, especially
so later after he moves in to the garage. The tacit thing is that he
actually just plays at being this tough biker but in reality he's just
kind of a loser living in a fantasy world.

And that is an idea that the Normals -love-; that any apparent
risk-taker never -really- does those things in real life.

I'd love to see an episode guest starring the Lee Marvin character out
of 'The Wild One'
