Ransom Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 This is at a local pub I goto every now and then. It's made from drift wood. Now I like this one.

Misson Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 I just read that Guillermo del Toro may make a movie of Marvell's Dr. Strange. Talk about the perfect director for such a project. I sure hope that happens - it'd be one of those rare movies I'd go to the theater to see.

Red Cat Jenny Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Um...not sure I could sleep with that in the house..but it is kinda cool. I like the selller's quote in the EbaY ad "IMPORTANT MESSAGE: Your wife called a few minutes ago. She wanted to tell you that you can spend as much as you want to win this historical pointer. She said that it has far more value and more potential than all the trash you have been buying in eBay. Kisses, she said." Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....

Raphael Misson Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 frank-and-betty always put that note on their auctions. (They auction a lot of old medical stuff, so I've gotten familiar with them.) For the a couple of months I didn't have a good place to put my skeletons, so I stuck 'em in one of the closets in the bedroom. Jokes about skeletons and closets aside, I imagine that would be something you probably wouldn't do either. All skeletons are now in the garage, though. Since I'm not doing anything for the haunted house this year, I may have to find something new to do with them of Halloween. I had this idea for a skelarecrow... “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Red Cat Jenny Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Well if I had me any skeletons (aint sayin yea or nay) I'd be hidin em well.. and for yours, maybe hang em all on a clear nylon clothesline and let the wind dance em around for Haloween...

I used to stay up until 1:00 AM every Wednesday night back in Toronto to watch Freakazoid! I was pretty disappointed when the series ended... But not horribly suprised considering the air time it had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael Misson Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yes, the "Big Kids Go First!" campaign at the WB on Sat. mornings was ill-advised. It basically killed the Freakazoid! series. Big kids who watch cartoon seem inclined to stay in bed late. Paul Rugg -the inspiration behind the show- ran off and and decided to make live action stuff instead. (Which is rather remniscent of WB Looney Tunes director Bob Clampett. One wonders what he would have done had he stuck with Bugs and pals.) Oh well. I guess the release of season 2 is imminent, so keep a weather eye cast in Amazon's direction. “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong.

Mission Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I just found out the Sam & Max graphic novel, Surfin the Highway has been re-released with some new material included. The original used to be really expensive because it was out of print, but the re-release is much more reasonable. Hilarious stuff, this, with some piratical references. You can pick it up on Amazon for $20 new and even less used. (I paid $10...mostly to get the new material.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 While looking for info on Peggy Lipton, I found info on artist Jessica Joslin. (Somehow this must make sense in a remote cosmic way that I don't yet comprehend.) Jessica Joslin is an artist whose art work is very interesting. See it on her site here. Her stuff has a distinct steampunk look to it. I particularly like her cat sculptures. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.
