Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s Suihei Deloi.
What’s the story behind your name? It roughly translates to ‘dirt sailor’. Half of it’s Japanese, the other half’s from a series of novels I used to read. As for why, that would take a few pages. We’ll just say I’ve been to some strange places.
Where do you live? San Diego, CA. No house right now though. My crackerjack box apartment literally was the beginning of a little sinkhole a few months ago. Any good housing lawyers out there?
How old are you? When I started high school, Microsoft Office wasn’t around. Nor was the Internet. I learned programming in Basic on a Commodore 64. I still get carded though, so I guess I’m aging well.
Tell us briefly about yourself. I worked in the service for nearly a decade. Now I work in communications engineering while getting my degree. I’m also studying acting. Not sure what I want to do next – either do acting or go back in the service.
What cabinet position would best suit an extremely angry dog? The Secretary of Transportation. Especially if said dog were trained to chew anyone who pushed for more carpool lanes instead of normal ones.
How long have you been reading IMAO? A few years now.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? In order – anything making fun of Hillary, Meet Tulio & Nuke the Moon.
What’s you favorite political issue? Immigration. I’m for deporting the radio host Piolin first as an honorary illegal – he’s earned it.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. Not at this point – need more hours in my day first.
If you had to pick another color for the sky than blue, what would it be? Bright red-orange, like on Thundar the Barbarian reruns (gold star for whoever remembers what year that cartoon came out).
If you commented in the original post that you want to be included, you’re still in the running. Eventually I’ll have another post asking for who wants to participate, so keep reading. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far!
1994? Good post and good luck with that sink hole thing. Try to have fun with it. Stand next to it with a shovel and a sign that say’s “China or Bust”. Then you can try to get passing motorist to help dig. Hell, in Ca you can call it performing art and maybe land a grant from the national endowment for the arts.
No fair, that was before I was born.
Does it count if I use Wikipedia?
Sorry – I’m an antitrust lawyer … but if I hear of any good housing lawyers, I’ll send them your way!
Thundar was mid 60s if I recall correctly. He rode on the back of a fire-breathing flying dinosaur and carried some sort of stump that shot ray beams, which is good work if you can get it.
This was done w/o checking the inn3rw3bz, so I may be full of what makes the green grass grow.
I’m full of it.
I was thinking of The Mighty Mightor.
Thundarr (2 r’s) came along much later.

HWY93 got it right, more precisely:
The year 1994: From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction. Man’s civilization is cast in ruin.
Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn…
Ahh Basic.

OMG!! Thundar had this cool sunsword and he hung out with this magic chick named Ariel and they rode horses and had this sidekick that looked like Chewbacca….1982???
Welcome to the Ronin Pile!!
The only reson I know the year was because I got out of the army and had a crap job at a collection agency that had a black and white TV in the break room that only picked up one channel. Whew! talk about your run on sentences.
What? Wait… the wikipedia (and the official website) say it ran from 1980-82 (Wiki adds that reruns were shown in ’83). The 1994 is the year in which the plot begins, I think…
Animation looks 80’s, too. We 90’s kids had to get by with cartoons in which the characters weren’t overly buff and half naked. 🙁

Hey, it was a weird night. Seabees, Budweiser & all night anime flicks. If you really need to know, just blame the UT’s. ; )
82…yeah. Strange days. Thundarr, Battlestar Galactica reruns, and Robotech. Oh, and mom’s Dr. Hook records.
