18+ MINORS AND THOSE WITHOUT AGE IN BIO DNI

warnings: swearing, drinking

AN: I was watching Richie rich and forgot John larroquette was in there! I love this man so here we go. Expanding past Dan fielding. Oh! And I was pleasantly surprised to find somewhere I worked in there as well.

I tapped my foot as I stood in the corner of the room. Richard Sr. shouldn’t have invited this many adults to Richies birthday party but it was what it was. My eyes roamed over the room as my patience wore thin. I didn’t mind Richie. He was a sweet kid. But so many of the adults in this room were going to take advantage of him one day. It was too bad that it had already started.

��Wondering why there’s so many adults?” I turned my head at the voice, smiling softly as Lawrence stood next to me. “Because I sure as hell am.”

“You know why he did it as well as I do.” I whispered conspiratorially. “Doesn’t mean I have to like it but I’m not the boys parent.” Lawrence chuckled as he held out a flute of Champaign.

“Can you believe they are also serving this shit?” He took a sip from his flute as I shook my head at the offered one. “There are kids here contrary to belief.” I nodded as he looked around before chugging his drink. I chuckled and rolled my eyes at him. He shrugged. “Hey the more I drink the less there is for the kids.” I covered my mouth and tried to cover my laugh with a cough as Cadbury walked by. Lawrence took another drink and deposited the empty flute on a passing tray.

“Lawrence. Behave.” I lightly slapped his arm. He smiled at me and shrugged. “Did you actually get him a gift or are you just here for the drinks?” Lawrence wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

“I did get him a gift. The drinks are just a bonus.” Lawrence whispered. “That baseball bat that went up to auction. What’s his names bat?” I nodded. “I managed to get it.” I looked over at him with a raised eyebrow.

“impressive.” I acknowledged. “I got him the new game system that comes out next month.” Lawrence hummed, grabbing a new flute as someone walked by.

“Bribed the manufacturer?” I shook my head. “Ah. You know someone in the office. Understandable.” He leaned his head against mine. “Wouldn’t want your reputation to get tarnished.” He teased. I rolled my eyes.

“Shut up Lawrence.” I teased back, a subtle elbow to his ribs. “You’re lucky I like you.” He nodded before kissing my cheek.

“I’m very lucky indeed.”

Richie Rich's Christmas Wish (1998)

Ok, so I know that like, objectively, this is not a good movie. But wow it is campy fun. If you read my review last year of Jingle All the Way, this was also a favorite of at Nana's house because that was her taste, so I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Richie Rich (David Gallagher) is sick of all the responsibilities that come with his family's wealth and fame that prevent him from playing with his friends Gloria (Michelle Trachtenberg) Freckles (Blake Collins), and Pee Wee (Austin Stout). His attendant Cadbury (Keene Curtis) is patient with him, and Mr. Rich (Martin Mull) and Mrs. Rich (Lesley Ann Warren) are both loving parents and responsible community members, but things go south when the Van Doughs come for tea. Mr. Van Dough (Richard Fancy) is trying to shut down factories because he doesn't want to pay the workers. Mrs. Van Dough (Marla Maples) has no time for charity work because of all her spa treatments. Their son Reggie (Jake Richardson) is mean to all the waitstaff and is jealous that Richie gets to be on TV. Reggie doesn't want to do the charity work; he just wants to be the richest kid in the world instead of being second to Richie. So Reggie sabotages Richie and then blames Richie for ruining Christmas. Richie thinks everyone believes Reggie (they don't) and is distraught. He goes to Professor Keenbean's (Eugene Levy) lab and wishes that Richie Rich was never born. This triggers Professor Keenbean's wishing machine, but the world isn't quite what Richie was expecting without him in it.

This was really fun for me. I guess if you're not a fan of the "so bad it's good" kind of movie, this is not for you. But that's my personal favorite kind of movie. Overall, I have no notes, just 5 stars.

Richie Rich Zillion-Dollar Adventures – this segment deals with Richie Rich and his friends fighting master criminals, aliens, and other threats to the world.

My Rating: 8/10

My Reasoning: I personally really liked this show. However, it always felt like something was slightly missing. I'm not sure what it is and I can't really put my finger on it to tell you. I just always felt like it just needed "something". Overall though, the characters are enjoyable and the plots are entertaining to me. I don't necessarily like the segmented format but that was kind of a common thing back then so it just is what it is. If you like any Hanna Barbera cartoons I'm sure you will like this one too.

Cadbury's SS pin in Richie Rich. I just noticed IT! I know, it's not Herbert's clothes, he just took it from some biker, but it's very funny. 😆 It's not Richie Rich anymore, it’s Richie Reich now! LOL!

The Future of Artificial Intelligence: what can be expected?

Have you ever watched Richie Rich? The animated series which screened the rich rendezvous of little Richie Rich with his butler Cadbury, pet dog Dollar, and Irona, a robot maid, always by his side to save the day. While all the adventures of Master Richie were exciting, what fascinated the younger me more was the robot maid, Irona.

What seemed like science fiction years ago has become a reality, thanks to the advanced technology and innovation giving rise to Artificial Intelligence (AI). From smart camera vision systems at factories and warehouses to smartphones with Face ID lock screens, AI has long been a part of our daily life.

But how did Artificial Intelligence come into the picture and what does the future look like? Let’s find out.

The AI Evolution

AI is nothing new for sci-fi writers – the fantasy roots can be traced back to Greek antiquity. However, bringing AI, in reality, was thought to be possible in the 1950s when British Mathematician Alan Turing introduced the idea of a machine that thinks. He then created the Turing Test which is still a benchmark test to determine a machine’s thinking ability.

In 1959, Marvin Minsky, an American Cognitive scientist further carried the thought and founded co-founded the AI laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. By that time, thinkers outside the AI labs have started picking up the idea and incorporating it into their field of work, movies, for example. Do you remember 2001: A Space Odyssey that was released in 1968? Marvin had advised director Stanley Kubrick while making the film, which represented AI closer to reality in the form of HAL 9000.

From AI algorithms in the 1950s to symbolical algorithms and the development of expert systems in the 1970s and introducing Machine Learning in the 1990s, AI has evolved and spanned across sectors over time. However, it’s only now in the 21st century that people are realizing the true power of AI.

AI in its true power

Have you ever thought of going to Mars? Well, the question might sound delusional for a common man now, but with rocket science and space technology taking big strides in the 21st century, this might come true in near future. NASA’s Mars robotic helicopter completing its first powered controlled flight is the first step towards bringing common man’s fantasy of going into space into reality.

Well, at least Elon Musk desires to land on Mars. He has once said so, “I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact.” Maybe this dream has encouraged him to invest in OpenAI, non-profit research company. The tech-tycoon IBM received 9100 patents in 2018, 1600 of which are AI-related.

These are only two massive examples of how far and deep AI research and development is going. There are plenty of investors and researchers across the world who have been ambitiously working on bringing AI’s future to reality.

The Future of AI is now.

The speed at which the business world has adopted the data collection analysis in the past decade has fast-forwarded the world into the future of AI. Today, there hardly exists any industry that is devoid of data-driven models for product analysis, decision-making, and brand marketing.

Some have just boarded others are veteran travelers in the AI journey, but all these businesses have a long way to go. However, seeing the impact of AI in our daily lives, it would be an injustice to ignore other sectors other than businesses.

Here’s what the future of AI would be in our lives.

Transportation In a decade or more autonomous cars will fill the roads taking us from place to place.

Vintage Comic - Richie Rich Riches #017

Pencils: Warren Kremer Inks: Warren Kremer Harvey (Mar1975)

[argyleandjonathansmokingajoint]

The Losers With Pets HCS

They all have pets, all adopted. 

To be more precise, they’re all exclusively shelter animals, thanks to Mike repeatedly advising the losers on the importance of adoption over buying. 

So they all have pets, that is, except, for the longest time, Stanley, because according to him, “animals just aren’t for me, guys.” Until the day he spots what he swears is the cutest, most elegant, white cat he’s ever seen, when he’s at the pound with Bev, helping her look around. He promptly signs the papers and becomes a proud pet owner, all in the same day.

The cat is not just pretty to look at though. Oh no. She also calms Stan’s anxieties down when he’s feeling worked up about something or just having an off day. It’s like she can sense a panic attack building up inside of him, and she’s almost always there to deescalate it before it can get there.

The cat’s name is Charlotte, but Richie only ever calls her Charlie which infuriates Stan to no end.

Later, he becomes the dad of a bird named Henry, funnily enough, through an old neighbor of his that had to move away to another country for a work opportunity. Stan couldn’t say no to that. The bird is old and mean and hates everyone but Stanley.

Richie likes to pick at Henry and get in his face, until one day Henry breaks his glasses and gives him a pretty gnarly split lip. It’s a long story. Rich insists he should be in the emergency room and that Stan should pay for emotional damages, but he just ends up on Stan’s sofa with Eddie begrudgingly holding an ice-pack to his lip, and listening to Richie complain as the others continue to laugh at his dumb ass. Maybe he’ll learn this time. Here’s a hint; he doesn’t.

Bev brings home a Boa Constrictor with no warning, one day, because of course she does, and for the first two months Ben is terrified that the thing is going to eat their dog, Baxley. He warms up to her though, with some gentle coaxing from his girlfriend. He just has one rule that he will absolutely NOT bend on: He will not be around for feeding time. 

Bev names the snake Hex and loves getting the gang ruffled when they come by and see her just hanging out in their home, uncaged. Okay, It’s mostly Eddie and Stan, while Richie and Bev laugh their asses off and the others look on in amusement.

Mike misses life on a farm sometimes. More so, certain things about it, than it as a whole. He’s told this to his friends multiple times, over drinks or in a passing comment, but they always take notice. That’s why, one year they’re determined to give a little bit of the farm to him. They can’t give him a sheep or a cow, so instead they settle on two fuzzy, long-eared rabbits. 

One is a Lionhead and English Spot Mix and the other is a Harlequin. It took some doing to adopt them, but seeing the look on Mike’s face more than makes up for it. 

He names the 1st one Cadbury and the 2nd one Easter.

He’s built a large enclosure for them on Bill and his’ property where they can still run around and play in the grass. “It lets them get the feeling of just being normal rabbits but gives them the safety of house rabbits.,” Mike tells the losers when they come ‘round to see his handiwork.

Bill comes home one rainy afternoon with a tiny, baby raccoon stuffed in his jacket and angry red marks on his palms. “They’re from falling!” He insists to Mike, who knows a thing or two about rabies and is more than a bit concerned at first glance. But apparently Bill had spent over an hour chasing this little guy- “girl.” Mike corrects with wonder as they take a closer look at the shivering creature. The point is, he’d been chasing her around the freeway for over an hour before he got her cornered enough so that he could catch her. Saved her from getting ran over. 

They debate on what to do, before deciding to raise her together (😏yes homo). Eventually, they both decide on the name Geordie, in memory of Bill’s younger brother.

Geordie is always taking their broom and playing with it, though they have no clue why she’s so fascinated by it. Still, it’s one of the cutest things either of them have ever seen.

On an average, sunny day during the fall, Eddie’s out getting some coffee when he and a woman strike up a rapport with one another. They’re shooting the breeze and puppies somehow get brought up. 

One thing leads to another and the next thing he knows, he’s leaving with a day marked down and an address scribbled on a napkin. Richie finds it and thinks he’s cheating for almost a whole day. Eddie has no choice really but to let him tag along.

That’s how he ends up with his arms full of a wriggling, golden retriever puppy and Richie cooing at his side. He decides to call her Gidget, but oftentimes the only thing that gets out of his mouth is “Gidg-”, before she’s bounding off to something else, somewhere else.

So Richie’s doing some day drinking one day, as you do, and thinking about how much he misses Eddie because he’s away on business, being all adulty and stuff. He comes up with a brilliant solution to his problem though.

That’s how he finds himself wondering the streets for hours, looking for stray cats. Of course, they’re nowhere around when you want them. 

He ends up drunk, or almost sober-dialing now, calling Eddie, who just laughs softly and talks him through it. Eds tells him to get home safe, think it through, and if he really wants one, they’ll go to the shelter together when he gets back. Richie’s in love with a God-send. Truly the answer to all his prayers.

As soon as Eddie’s back in town (well, the next day), Richie’s using his own key to open the door without knocking, scaring the life out of his boyfriend. He decides to help him in his cat search anyway.

At the shelter, they look and look until they’re almost ready to turn away empty handed when Richie finally spots him. 

In one of the middle rows, sitting towards the back is a brown and orange cat with just a hint of white on him. He’s got just a bit of floof and hisses when they approach. This is the one. Richie knows it. Eddie’s not so sure.

But then the tortoiseshell is letting them rub his face and chest through the bars. They know that he is still the one in control and he knows it too. That’s how Hot Rod comes into Richie’s life. Yes, Hot Rod.

The cat is vicious and loving in equal measures. He doesn’t bite or anything, but he certainly has no problem telling you when he’s through with cuddles or when to pay attention to him and not someone else. Very temperamental, this one. Remind you of anyone? 

And that’s the long ass journey of the losers club with pets!

Richie Rich’s Christmas Wish (1998)

It never fails. Whenever a property has no idea what to do ‘round Christmas time, it always resorts to ripping off It’s a Wonderful Life, or A Christmas Carol. I’m an adult, watching Richie Rich’s Christmas Wish years after it was released but I’d bet every present underneath my tree that no kid who saw this film in 1998 liked it.

After Richie Rich (played by David Gallagher this time) is led to believe by his supervillain-esque cousin Reggie Van Dough (Jake Richardson) that he ruined Christmas, the richest boy in the world wishes he was never born. Thanks to Professor Keanbean (Eugene Levy) and his latest invention, his wish comes true!

You can predict every beat of this story because you've literally seen it a thousand times. This may be the crappiest, most unimaginative ripoff of It’s a Wonderful Life I’ve ever encountered. Even if you can imagine a world in which either a) the Frank Capra classic doesn’t exist or b) Richie hasn’t seen it, the character and the story are poorly written. Over, and over, and over, and over he attempts to explain to people who no longer know him who he is, that he is the heir to the Rich fortune, that this world is not the way it should be, etc. It’s hard to see the appeal of Richie Rich. All of his problems seem trivial compared to ours. When you also make dumber than a sack of pennies, he becomes so unlikable the only way to make the audience cheer him on… is to create a villain so outlandish you can’t take anything seriously. You thought Hill Valley had it bad when Biff took over the town in Back to the Future Part 2? At least the man didn’t have the power to set people’s bail at whatever he wanted or cancel Christmas!

It's almost comical to see a film about the richest boy in the world made so cheaply. No one on the production team must've ever touched or seen snow. It’s as green as summer in the tropics… except for some cotton spread out here and there, and a few key branches. Those poor child actors must’ve been dying inside their snowsuits! Then, we get to the CG, which is just a notch above the quality that we see in today’s Asylum films. It’s 1998, also direct-to-video, but come on. How expensive can it be to blow up a sled? I’ll do it for free!

The people in charge must not have cared, at all. In the “real” world, Richie notices that his butler, Herbert Cadbury (Keene Curtis) has a tattoo on his leg. Using your dummy detective skills, you immediately realize that, in this alternate reality, Cadbury will still be a musician, that this is how the two of them will meet. Unfortunately, what are the odds the world-famous band will be performing on Christmas Eve in the apocalyptic wasteland that is the Reggie-owned Richville? I could go on and on at all of the plot holes and coincidences, but do any of them matter? This is the kind of VHS garbage that screams “Hold on! It’s gonna be a stinky ride!” within seconds. This has been a rough day. Between this, the Christmas-themed episode of “Back to the Future: The Animated Series” where they travel back to the time of Charles Dickens to re-create A Christmas Carol and Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2, it’s enough to make you wish you had died in a fiery wreck that morning instead of getting up to watch movies with your friends.
