And for any of you who remember the low-budget educational series Storylords that ran on PBS in the mid-eighties, I met the son of Thorzuul today. Seriously.
For your viewing pleasure, here is a riveting episode called "Identifying Main Ideas and Details." This was mandatory viewing in elementary school.
Thorzuul and his wicked laugh show up at about the 2:30 minute mark. Right when the kids jump on the stationary bike to time travel through stuffed mice and lasers piercing a faux Obiwan Kenobi. Seriously. Is it any wonder so many of my generation are maladjusted when this is the educational substance our heads were filled with when we were young?
