Yesterday, my beautiful wife picked “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost for our daily poem.
I thought of the perfect film for it:
The Ice Pirates starring Robert Urich between his stints as Gavilan and Spenser.
Yes, it was on Showtime in the middle 1980s. Yes, I did watch it over and over again whilst confined to quarters, which in the middle 1980s was a 12′ by 60′ trailer, and I wasn’t supposed to go outside when my mother wasn’t home during the work week.
Although I have it on DVD, I am not sure when I will watch it with the boys. Mostly because I don’t want to have to explain what a Space Herpe is. Or, worse, not explain it and have to explain to another parent why my child called her child a Space Herpe.
It’s science!
