I love Tintin.
What are a few of your favourite Tintin stories?
I will list a couple if you are interested as well.

I liked king ottokar's sceptre, and the seven crystal balls. flight 714 was pretty good too (similar to lost?).

They stop making all my favourite chips. Years ago there was something called O'Grady's au gratin, they were crinkle cut cheese chips, they've never been matched. More recently cheese Pringles have vanished, I don't like any other flavour.

I liked Calculus affair. Sceptre was great too. And Tintin in Tibet. Which as Herge later stated was a very personal and spiritual story.
Apparently, some of the stuff Herge conceived and drew in Destination Moon proved feasible and functional decades later in space technology. Herge had a great interest in politics also. It was a tumultous time in Europe. Sceptre had that great villain and dictator Mussler( Hitler and Mussolini doh!)
His artistry, creativity, realism, idealism and attention to detail. I marvelled as a kid. I still marvel now as an adult.
I highly recommend the documentary "Tintin and I" Reepbot.

This has recently come to surface. But I think its spurious.
For one thing, the cleverclogs put the authors name as Herpes and not Herge.
But Snowy's reaction seems kinda realistic so who knows?

the calculus affair is great fun. all that mystery and excitement. tintin in tibet is also another fine story. i'll check out that documentry later. but right now i am watching 'the agony and the ecstacy'. it is about michaelangelo painting the sistine chapel. i think this film needs to get remade. and i don't often say that about films.

yes the moon books were really interesting. it is amazing how big the spacee race was in the 60's. especially under the context of the cold war.

i still have all of my tintin books from when i was a kid. when i was younger i moved house a few times so most of my childhood stuff was sold in garage sales or thrown out, plus i am not a sentimental person. the fact that i still have those books is probably a fair indication of how much they mean to me.

ohhh flanalette shirts! i love flanalette. i used to wear it all the time in tasmania. but it is too warm to wear it up here i think.
 
The Tintin's were one of the few things I kept. But I did have to supplement my collection because I suffered the interminable disease of lending books to friends which were then lent to friends and a daisy chain of ending up who knows where.
I am still missing a couple which I will eventually get around to getting. Ive seen a dvd collection of the adverntures.

Dammit Reepbot. Youve re-kindled my inner Tintin/Haddock.
Looks like my sunday might include a shopping sortie to acquire this item.

you don't really get a wide variety of chips at the supermarkets these days.

Over here you do. I was with someone who bought sixty packets the other day. Not all different but probably about twenty five to thirty different sorts. He really likes chips. Although not any with cheese or sour cream or vinegar. So that's about another fifteen types.

I had the opportunity of meeting this food in Ireland in the 80s :) You can get them at the International Aisle of some woolies stores (not that I endorse woolies) They are so yumyum :)

I think you can buy bulk on the net, if you like them :)
 
Curious like a cat? Meowing and purruping. Inquisitivity keeps the world moving forward.

I will meow like a cat because i am curious. I am a curious cat.

Meow.
