Stavro Arrgolus's Interests

General |
Stavro Arrgolus (stav-row arr-go-lus)[1945-]
Sitting down, editing this site, 'puttering around', ignoring labor intensive house repairs, napping in recliners, not dying (old guy stuff) |

Music |
Dementia (duh!) |
|
Movies |
Don't watch many of those any more (on TV) as new ones tend to blow goats a great deal. Haven't been to a theater since 1984. Not a fan of the 'modern movie experience'. That's why Satan created 'cable'/streaming. It's all too bad since going to the movies was more fun when I was a kid and it didn't break the bank. |

Television |
Discovery, History & Science channels, news etc. British comedy- Monty Python, of course. Billy Connolly, The Young Ones, Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Alexei Sayle. I was an otaku before they coined the term. I watched Gigantor, Kimba The White Lion & Speed Racer in the 60's and Captain Harlock & Space Battleship Yamato in the '70s. Today's anime all seems redone. Network TV has sucked for years. Don't bother with it anymore.
Rather fond of video games, though. Console & PC- sims, strategy, RPGs |
|
Books |
Douglas Adams' 'Hitchhikers Guide' and 'Dirk Gently' series, "Groucho & Me": The Autobiography of Groucho Marx, How to Fillet a Panda, Fill Your Life With Croutons, Controlling Fear Without Getting Frightened, What to Wear on the Toilet, How to Kill a Rat With an Oboe, The Intravenous Cookbook, The Stains in Your Shorts Control Your Future |

Heroes |
"To say that there is a case for heroes is not to say that there is a case for hero worship. The surrender of decision, the unquestioning submission to leadership, the prostration of the average man before the Great Man -- these are the diseases of heroism, and they are fatal to human dignity. History amply shows that it is possible to have heroes without turning them into gods. And history shows, too, that when a society, in flight from hero worship, decides to do without great men at all, it gets into troubles of its own." -Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. |
