  2. Loved the Thirst! I never seen it, a gem I must've missed! Thanks very much for posting it! It has a shocker of a ending too, here I thought Dr. Strange/ OOps I meant Doc Drac from studio 54. Was going to fall in some freak accident on a wet floor & land on the bumbling janitor's broken mop handle. Here I thought the janitor was going to be the ship's cleaning lady. Who would look like Carol Burnette!! Or the ship was going to pass the moon after a eclipse & recieve a serious sun burn!! Flame On!! That's a spicey Meataa... ball!!
