Hey Bert! What's the best way of ducking and covering to avoid getting leukemia from the radiation?

Hey Bert! What's the best way of ducking and covering to avoid getting leukemia from the radiation?
Hi Mike. You would of had to have ducked successfully to have any chance of getting leukemia. That answer can be found in the sequel? If you survived the initial attack that is. ;D
And hey Bert! What are the two different kinds of attacks again? With warning and what's the other one? i forgot.

Forgetting could cause you your life Paul. There can be no hesitation as to the proper precautionary measures that must be taken upon an atomic attack. Please review the film once more, or you could end up looking like your avatar.

Yes, that was assuming you weren't vaporised in the blast.
A short time remains before our next feature .. but first
Are you popular here at these boards? If not, maybe this film can help shed light as to why that is and what you can do to become more popular.
Hey ma!This drive in bathroom smells funny.Some kind of smoke in there,And there was a guy in there acting kinda weird.Can I go behind the screen?

Why? Isn't it scary enough in FRONT of the screen?
Let's see, how many people can I pack in the trunk of a '55 Buick?

Hey ma! This drive in bathroom smells funny.
A clean bathroom is an absolute necessity. There's a lot that goes into cleaning a toilet. See for yourself! And remember this the next time you fail to lift the toilet seat.
Shows the detailed steps necessary to achieve a high standard of cleanliness in a public restroom and presents the opinions, attitudes and personal feelings of the men who do the job, giving voice in particular to a janitor in a university building. Director: James W. Hall. Janitor: Hance Nelson.
19 minutes and 18 seconds of my life flushed right down the toilet viewing this film. But you know what? I've learned that it takes a special man to make for a good janitor. How sad it is to see this dedicated janitor spend close to 5 minutes cleaning one urinal only to have some jerk like me come in and piss all over the place. Within just 5 short seconds the urinal is now a filthy mess. Life isn't fair I tell ya.
Man, I'm getting hungry. Must be time for an intermission break?
So what's next? A video on proper dinner table etiquette? ::)

You got it Nicole. And perhaps you need it as well? That's okay. Don't feel bad Nicole. Did you know over 75% of the population does not know or practice good table manners?
Here is a classic piece of celluloid ephemera. Produced by the infamous Coronet Instructional Films company. Coronet was prolific in producing some of the finest educational films out there! Most of Coronet's films are actually very entertaining. Pass the popcorn please .. and oh yeah, with a napkin so I can wipe my mouth in the correct manner.
GOOD TABLE MANNERS (1951) - Coronet Instructional Media
Chuck, a young loner, is invited by a neighbor to a dinner party, but turns it down. He finds himself visited by "Chuck of the future"--himself at age 21. "Chuck of the future" knows the reason the current Chuck doesn't want to go to the party--he's embarrassed over his poor table manners. "Chuck of the future" decides to give "Chuck of the present" some tips on proper table etiquette.
Finally, no more wasted hours sitting at the dinner table, wondering how I'm supposed to hold my dinner fork. Thanks, "Chuck of the future!" Now I can eat with confidence!
Lawd have mercy,I never knew so much went into cleanin a crapper.And the work I need to do at eatin.Thanks Mister Terry for those informative and how to videos.Now excuse me whilst I finish this sandwitch on the can.
Gee whiz! I want one of those swell Moose sweaters just like Chuck and Chuck have!
Our early feature today is the infamous "Tales Of Tomorrow" episode featuring Lon Chaney Jr. The name of this episode is simply 'Frankenstein'. This is the infamous episode where Lon is either drunk, or as some Chaney defenders would have it, just unaware that the performance was NOT a rehearsal and was actually taping. It's most likely a combination of both.
Tales of Tomorrow #16: Frankenstein (1952)
Credits
Lon Chaney Jr. - The Monster
John Newland - Victor Frankenstein
Mary Alice Moore - Elizabeth
Raymond Bramley - Elizabeth's Father
Farrell Pelly - Butler
Peggy Allenby - Maid (?)

Better Use of Leisure Time (1950)
Producer: Coronet Instructional Films
Thanks Terry for the film.Leisure time?Not sure if I have any of that.Maybe one day.
Boy if that VD stuff is gonna make me happy and good lookin' like all those people in that commercial, I'm gonna have to get me some!
Herr General: Last week I had to attend an in-service workshop and part of the lecture included was workplace safety; we had to watch an old video entitled "It's A Jungle Out There"--which I found amusing and, unfortunately, found myself laughing out loud at inappropriate moments . Anyway, I thought what if there was a workplace safety film for horror film lab assistants? What triggered this thought were two key phrases from this most educational film "contact stress" and "poor posture".
Think about it---I'm sure some of the more video talented members could whip up something.

I think I ended up watching that same safety video at my old place of employment Meek! And I too couldn't help myself from laughing out loud numerous times. There would be scenes of klutzy and careless goons carrying boxes down a flight of steps only to fall head over heels down the entire flight of steps. It was probably funny only because you knew it could happen to you too. Or it already might have. Not surprisingly, the safety instructor showing the film didn't share my same sense of humor.
Taken from the IMDB: Author: bainslie from brisbane, australia -
"The Veil", a 1950's pilot series introduced by and starring Boris Karloff, concerned itself with ghostly tales and psychic phenomena. Although it was never taken up as a full series by a major network it still was quite entertaining. It is worth watching because of Karloff's own unique acting style and also because of the topics covered. One gets the impression that if it had been given a run then "The Veil" would have developed into a long running series investigating topics so well covered by future shows such as "The Twilight Zone" and "The X Files". It is a short series that a public television company would find useful in running in order to capture for a time a loyal viewing audience interested in ghostly tales or psychic phenomena. One of its best shows was the one about Jack the Ripper which will certainly get its viewers once again reading up books on this topic. A series well worth watching.
"The Veil" (1958)
Season 1, Episode 1: Vision of Crime
FROM IMDB
Original Air Date: 1958
While on a boat trip to Paris, a man has a vision in which he sees his brother murdered. He returns to England to discover that his brother has been killed and that a man he knows isn't the murderer is the prime suspect. Who is the murderer and how will the man ferret the killer out without mentioning his vision and seeming like a nut-case? Find out by going "Behind The Veil".

Man is this thread bringing back the memories!! Like it was already mentioned, riding into the drive-in in the trunk of my brother's car, squooshed next to the cooler filled with adult beverages. A friend of mine used to make time-delay m-80's: he'd take a cigarette, push the fuse on the explosive through the center of the ciggie, light the gig, place it behind a commode, and wait for some unsuspecting stoner to use that stall and watch the fun! The best part was watching the rent-a-cops converge on the bathroom after the explosion, as we watched from a safe, guilt-free distance!
Ah, the good old days...

This film, The Empty Life, is my favorite educational film of all time! I've watched it over a dozen times, and it never gets old. There's so much to enjoy while viewing this film. A bored and uninterested father with a nagging wife and needy kid. Top it all off with a boring job and you've got a recipe for an EMPTY LIFE! Dig the somber saxophone soundtrack too! Depression is fun with The Empty Life!

Ahhh a bottle o booze and a ten dollar tramp, no more empty life for me! Oh yeah and the turtle throw. Thanks Terry for the gentle nudge. Enjoying these vids much thanks!

Maybe The Empty Life is really a cleverly disguised zombie recruitment film. Living got you down? Hey, why not try living dead instead?

It stinks inside these army barracks. Some of you guys need a lesson in personal hygiene. You need to put the toys down long enough to take a hot bath.
Please watch this educational film on personal hygiene released in 1950 by the US Army. It applies to this army as well.

As Long as Homer continues to wear sandals and socks, it doesn't really matter HOW he smells... And no inspirational songs about how to use toilet paper? If Homer didn't know about soap and water beforehand, i doubt he was any wiser about the latter. I hope there was a sequel.

It's never too early to practice safe Halloween habits. I love this vid.
Halloween Safety Educational Film (1985, Coronet) (http://www.vimeo.com/6942726)
If a candy bar is covered in mold, don't eat it. Thanks, animated talking jack-o-lantern that sounds like Will Ferrell, I'll remember that! :)
I love this safety film. Jason from the much loved and very missed Scar Stuff blog sure found us some treasures.
One thing (among many) that gets me laughing is right around the 2:45 mark, when the dad says 'Have you ever seen the insides of a pumpkin before?' and the girl says 'Yeeaaah... but not that way!', and I think... in what other way did she see the insides of a pumpkin?
I also liked the way we were told not to use a sharp knife while our hands are covered in slippery goo. But I still have more questions than answers concerning those kids' costumes eeeeek!
But wait there's more! Here's the 1977 version of Halloween Safety. Completely different version than the 1985 version. The fun just keeps on rolling!
Halloween Safety Educational Film (1977, Centron) (http://www.vimeo.com/6825745)
They turned that little girl into a Klu Klux Klan!!!! She is easier to see though.....
What about when she fell the first time and spilled her treat bag of peanuts and cigarettes? That poor kid!
Why is that little witchy girl walking alongside the highway by herself? Where are her parents? Where is the sidewalk? What is she doing out there? Amber Alert! Call the police!
I liked trying to ID the masks and costumes in the 1985 Halloween film. Topstone hooded skull, Collegeville Creature, Dracula and Ghoul, Ben Cooper ghost, and on and on.
Here's a classic! Stick with this one as it gets better (and gruesome) a couple minutes into it. War is hell I tell you. ;D

Wow! This answers a lot of questions about what my brother was doing to his Joes, 40 years ago. I wondered why he didn't take care of his toys the way my sister and I did. There must have been "battles" going on right under our own roof! His toys were always in pieces and covered in burn marks and model paint! I think I need to call him today and tell him I now understand (sniff sniff) :(
"It gets better" is an understatement, man that's the best! It takes me back for sure and makes me want to make an army man setup right now.
Those Joes - wow...German, Russian, Brits, MPs, we had so much of that stuff and now it's all in a landfill somewhere!
Now, the kiddos...They grew up to become flower power hippies. Peace!
Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, where GI Joes fled to avoid the war. That is why most of the minty GI Joes you find today come from Canada. But some collectors prefer the burnt and mangled Joes because at least they know they were honorably discharged.

I remember seeing this in grade school as part of a X-mas presentation.
Seeing it again here was a great treat.
Really, what were they thinking?
I mean I love it but its kind of...wrong.
That said, 12inch Joes are the only true Joes.
All others are pretenders to the throne.
The UMA is always looking for more WACS. But first, we must radically change how we view women in our hobby. ;D

That was my favorite line in the film. Such close attention paid to the small details is almost unheard of nowadays - at least when it comes to making a delicious tuna sandwich. ::)
I just watched the 1985 Halloween Safety film again- It's still as funny as it was the first 10 times I watched it- Thanks again :)
Somehow I missed this thread. I don't have time to watch now, but probably tomorrow. I can't wait to see how Bert learns to duck and cover. We have the same strategies now only they're for tornado warnings and for lock downs. No lock downs back then just "the bomb"

Whew!! I'm not gonna touch that stuff until further testing is done! I wonder how long it will take? The only thing I'm certain of is that I was a teenager in the 70s in Florida, and I've never heard the expression "blow pot". This was 20 minutes wee spent! :) It was pretty awesome except for the ending when Justin Bieber sold that 10 year old kid a joint! yikes!
I meant to say "well spent". And I swear I'm not "blowing pot"! I also liked that giant photo of Julie Christie at the swinging party Tom went to.
Let's take an 8 minute intermission before we spin our next feature. :)
LMAO! Thanks for posting. This thread is great, KEEP OFF THE GRASS! Yeah sure! >:D
What could possibly be worse than square dancing? How about watching a short film about square dancing. I know .. you'd rather set your own hair on fire. But that would hurt more than this 13 minute exercise in torture. C'mon, I dare you to watch it. >:D

I see Rueben Hill, who's acknowledged in the credits as "educational consultant" or some such thing, is from North Carolina. Therefore I assume you know it's love when you can call the object of your affections "Darling" and "Cousin" with equal accuracy.
