When talking about armor, I mentioned that I am wearing a magical chainmail coif.
I also mentioned the Epic Knights mod and its addons that I am using in my Greifenhorst series. Then I mentioned the Les Raisins Armor mod which I am using in this series.
While thinking and talking about transportation in the old days, I mentioned the television series 1883 and wagon trains. I also mentioned the series 1923.
While talking about our trip to Vancouver, British Columbia during spring break, I mentioned the little tram museum in Steveston.
This led to thoughts on trams and interurbans in general.
Then I talked about the interurban rail system used in Los Angeles and much of southern California.
When I was appraising the look of the tactical armor, I compared it to the armor that the police wore in the Fifth Element.
I also talked about trolley parks including Oaks Park in Portland, Oregon and Lagoon in Farmington, Utah.
At one point, I mentioned Benihana.
I discussed how the trolley parks influenced Walt Disney and his plans for Disneyland.
Later on, while I was harvesting my spinach, I talked about the cartoon character, Popeye and the series of Popeye shorts produced by the Fleisher Brothers.
From there I talked about the Lil’ Rascals/Our Gang and the episode titled the Kid From Borneo (which I erroneously referred to as the “Man From Borneo”).
When talking about the inappropriateness of topics and material from old series and movies, I mentioned Blazing Saddles.
Krypton is the planet that Superman is from.
While flying into my little fort, I noted that it looks a bit like a cat box.
“Sands Through the Hour Glass” is the introductory line for the Days of our Lives soap opera.
I used the term “zerg” from the game Starcraft.
