Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for April 08, 2022

So we have a more definite year than “the 80s”. 1981 was the when I started working at Megacorp as an Electronics Engineer.

True fact: On its opening weekend, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK was outgrossed by the original CLASH OF THE TITANS!

I think I know what Rip’s middle name is: Spoiler.

I’m very disappointed to find out Rip is one of those.

Rip’s really naughty giving away those spoilers

I never really thought of Rip as a jerk, but maybe time travel can cause side effects like that.

Spoiler Alert – the kid will grow up to become one of the many thugs Rip has fed a knuckle sandwich to. He turned to a life of crime after beating up the next person who ruined a movie for him.

Actually, ET’s an American movie. So of course it was going to have a happy ending. However, the story is the thing.

So you wasting time watching movie instead of rescuing hapless hamster?

Now he needs a mysterious attractive woman with “big hair” to show up and say “Hello Sweetie – spoilers.”

Rip is the worst time traveler ever!

The 1980s was one of those eras in time, and of you missed it, you can only hear it described.

And Rip needs to be careful and heed his own advice: don’t risk changing the timeline.

Meanwhile, what are Rip Junior, Sopapilla, Fireball, Breezy and the rest of the Gang up to?

KA-SPOILER ALERT!

Ah, Raiders of the Lost Ark. One of the greatest movies of all time.
