#12 Argh. They misspelled "KAOS"!

Hopefully Sigfried will get them for that.

Oh, the memories. The Chief, Larabee, the Cone of Silence, Hymie the robot, all the subtle jabs at LBJ, the shoe phone, the invisible wall and the laboratory with all their stupid inventions.

All those CONTROL agents:

#13 Raj:
Back then, it was nothing special for an actor to have served in the military and be patriotic.

What I found amazing was that after he came back from the 'canal, he was a Drill Instructor.

#16 "...nothing special to had served in the military and be patriotic" - try doin' that now. with half of the LeftLooney policrats, treason-crats and wafflers labeling our warriors as baby-killers while AL SHARPTON laments how over 50% of America's young people are unable to support themselves cuz they are denied from joining the military. RIP, DON, YOU AND THE CHIEF AND GILLIGAN, etal characters and stars SHALL BE REMEMBERED AND BELOVED.
