I find that Trump should go back to being a reality TV entity. He’s a mockery as President.

What is the British view of Trump, in your opinion?

I don't follow politics, or watch the news, so I'm not the one to ask for details... but he's seen as a lunatic world-wide. He has trashed the US reputation.

Have you read Lord of the Flies?

Never read it. Heard lots about it.

How about “A Clockwork Orange?”

No, but same. I've heard a lot about it. It sounds creepy. I haven't read it (assuming it's a book?) or seen the movie.

What about Eraserhead? I've heard it's scary. Haven't seen it and don't wish to.

Nope...not Eraserhead....but I did see “Edward Scissorhands.”

How about “Hong Kong Phooey?”

I actually think I saw that somewhere. Was it an animated cat who lives in a filing cabinet?

Was everybody really kung-foo fighting?

There was definitely a martial-arts craze in the mid-70s. But it mostly fizzled out by 1976, at least in the mainstream.

Hong Kong Phooey changed his clothes in a filing cabinet. He was a bumbling “do-gooder” who was always saved by his cat—-but he got all the credit. Sort of like the Blue Falcon and Wonderdog.

Did you ever identify with Penelope Pitstop?

I've not heard of Penelope Pitstop so I googled; she isn't familiar at all :( Sorry.

Did you ever identify with a character from a book / movie?

Yeah. One example is a book called "The Cat Ate My Gymsuit". The main character, Marcy, was shy and un-confident, had no close friends, and had a parent who was often harsh to her and her brother. I related to this.

Same question.

Yes, I relate to Isabella Linton as you can well imagine!

Did you do well on your last term paper?

Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye....very briefly.

Penelope Pitstop was a very competent and resourceful woman....but she still wanted to be saved by rescuers.

Did you watch Laff-a-lympics?

Of course! I love the one where Fred hallucinates seeing Pebbles fly away on a mastodon to marry Bam-Bam at "the little church". It's one of my favourite episodes.

Did you know that the spots on Fred's shirt are meant to be coffee stains?

Nope. Didn’t know that!

Do you remember Captain Caveman? I used to imitate him, despite the fact that I was in high school when he was on.

Pebbles and Bamm Bamm had their own show, too. They were teenagers. Bamm Bamm was a normal-strengthened teen.

No, I don't know Captain Caveman.

Have you ever touched a dolphin?
