Victoria's Secret nightwear, a bag of Pirate's Booty, a beer and Jonny Quest. Being a grown up has it's perks.
You like Race Bannon better than me!
Look Barkley, it's Race Bannon, covert actions, intelligence gathering, security, electronics and espionage. Plus he can fly anything, jets, hovercrafts, alpacas. Then let's throw in firearms -pistols, rifles, slingshots, bazookas, he's an expert at them all. Unlike the so called "role models" of today he doesn't consult with a committee or apologize before blasting an assortment of holes in the bad guys. Arm him with only a piano tuning fork and throw him in a room with a bunch of two legged mutant Brahma bulls with uzi's and in the next scene he'll be grilling burgers.
You're welcome to sit next to me Barkley and if you're good, I'll give you a piece of Pirate's Booty, but quit blocking the television.

You know how to live. :)
For some reason I thought Victoria's Secret WAS the pirates booty.
And a comment on an older post- What did you have to trade Jayne(sp.?) for Vera.
Beer and booty, memories of college days.
Race Bannon = Best Cartoon Character name evah.
I wanted to be him when I grew up. Didn't (and don't) have the abs for it :)
Vitoria's Secret nightwear????
Oh my.....the visions....must remember this is a family forum.....mumble, mumble, mumble.

the Farmer - No trade. I bought it fair and square with lots of cash from a former sniper and then outfitted it with the PRS stock and the holographic site. I had to get it, with the PRS stock it matches my Burberry purse. (just kidding!)
Paladin - I really don't remember it much at all from the original series, but remember it well in the reruns that played for the next decade.
Ack! 10 oclock. . day's a wasting. See you all later!
Two legged mutant Brahma bulls...that's the visual I'm taking away with me this morning....mmmmm...burgers!
+1 on a great night in! What friends we would be if I lived closer :D
Ah Johnny Quest. I prefered the 'new' series that came out somewhere in the nintys, because of the cleaner animation style. That said, I'm pretty sure Race Bannon still filled all those pre-requisits.
And his redheaded daughter wasn't bad looking either ;)
Barkley surely likes to do anything as long as it is with you. ;)
Last evening was a good night to stay in here. Watched the second Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man's Chest last night. Didn't have any Pirate's Booty to go with though.
@immagikman - I know from experience that it's only about a 9 hour drive for you to come for a Indy blogmeet. I drove that route many times when I was younger. I-70 almost the entire way. :-)
Johnny Quest was my favorite Saturday morning and after school TV show when I was growing up. I too wanted to grow up and be Race. I only have the white hair.
Somewhere afterwards the art of sound effects was lost.
The puffs might be a tasty snack, but I'll bring soup over for you any day.
I watched it when it first came out.
The only thing missing from the original series was a good woman.
Now, of course, you've filled that position! gfa
The '60s version was much better, no P.C.
it's not so much flying the Alpaca that's a problem, it's the removal of the gustlock from the empennage in preflight. That's what keeps most alpacas on the ground, right there.
Best cartoon ever. There was an exotic female character. Remember Jade? It was clear that she and Race had a history. She was the original Tomb Raider, but was in it for the money, so she and Race had a philosophical difference that would always come between them.
I so wanted that VTOL jet with the multiple hovercraft in the back. I saw the show when it was originally broadcast. I was young enough that I was too scared to watch the episode with the invisible electrical monster. Had to leave the room during the really scary part.
It would make a great live action movie if they kept close to the original series.
"Johnny Quest" was another old Hanna Barbera cartoon tapped for "Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law". I've never looked at that show the same way again after watching Quest and Bannon separate and fight for custody of the kids.
My Saturday night entertainment was the new Ealing/John Landis dark comedy based on the Burke and Hare murders. AFAIK, no one in the US has picked up the film for distribution, but I think the problem isn't so much the US studios being squeamish as it is that the film is surprisingly (considering the pedigree and cast) mediocre IMHO.
I loved Jonny Quest growing up and Race Bannon was my favorite. I bought the first season for my boys and they love it!
You may have read this before, but this is a really funny write up about Race and what makes him so tough. Whenever I see a Jonny Quest reference or a Race Bannon one I hve to go back and re-read it. :)

The episode I remember most is the one where he dyed himself Purple. Then went and did the whole Combat Swimmer thing.
Oh man, I haven't watched Johnny Quest since I was a kid. (The 90's version of course) I'd forgotten about that.
Thanks for reminding me why I miss college. Beer & booty, two of my most favorite things.
Saw where somebody made up a Jonny Quest movie poster. Daniel Craig as Race Bannon is INSPIRED.

Good Gawd, I haven't seen Johnny Quest in years...and Pirates Booty? Never heard of it but anything white cheddar flavored has to be good!
Definitely Daniel Craig as Race Bannon for a live action movie. How about Hugh Laurie as Dr. Quest? Maybe Angelina Jolie as Jade. Don't know the current child actors for Johnny and Hadji. How about a twist and have Jackie Chan play the villain? Wasn't the bad guy with the mechanical spider things Asian?

Ahh, JQ, spent many an hour watching them kick butt. Good times, good times...
