Behold!

The Greatest Poster in Roller Derby History*!!

Man, that's positively Dëthklöckian!

(* apologies, of course to Mr. Popular, who - I think - would agree with me.)

Still Here

Yep.. still here! And with a quickie post while I'm thinking about it!

Among the many, many things that have happened to me during the last few months (and, I hope to get a post to y'all about that once I get my bearings back), I ended up finishing a long-term, often procrastinated project whereby I set out to learn all about DVD burning by creating a TV compilation. Specifically, a Sci-Fi compilation.

My goal was to create a compilation of great Sci-Fi TV shows that could stand on their own merits - where you wouldn't have to know anything about the series to enjoy the episode. Some shows, like Twilight Zone and Futurama, were an easy fit. Others, like BSG, Babylon 5, and Farscape, were a bit troublesome for single episode understating. But - I tried to find that one episode - probably not the *best* episode, mind you - that would impress a virgin viewer. Stand alone stuff. It would serve as a great introduction to friends and family for shows they just might like to peruse further.

And it would make a great holiday gift. I'm cheap that way.

So - just to post it here ('cause, heck.. I should probably post *anything* at this point), here's the setlist. Please comment your disapproval. Teh internets are funnay that way.

(Edit: Huh.. Bolgger didn't take the cut'n'paste Word page. Strange.)

OK, fixed - here's the list:

Disc 1
Star Trek:TOS - Balance of Terror
X-Files - Jose Chung's From Outer Space
Futurama - Jurassic Bark
Firefly - Out of Gas
MST3K - Mr. B Natural
Dr. Who - Blink

Disc 2
The Outer Limits - The Architects Of Fear
MST3K - The Days of Our Years
Dollhouse - Unaired Pilot
Farscape - DNA Mad Scientist
Twilight Zone - It's a Good Life
Star Trek:TNG - The Inner Light

Disc 3
Torchwood - Random Shoes
Babylon 5 - The Coming Of Shadows
Cowboy Bebop - Toys in the Attic
BSG - 33
Star Trek:DS9 - The Visitor
MST3K - Once Upon a Honeymoon

See? Fun for everyone!

(Little note - the MST3K's are some of their shorts, used for filler space only. Not the best ones, by far. I really couldn't justify a typical, full length episode - as much as I'd like to spread the Torgo around.)

Back tomorrow... promise!

Bitter Endings

That movie forgot something, Y'know. Personally, I didn't miss it.. but I'm sure some others did.

Still a great movie. Been thinking about it for most of the day. That's a good sign.

BushMen

Hey! There's some kinda weird new movie opening this week! Not sure what it's about, really. Based on the trailers, it looks like a live action Gorillaz video... or The Goddamn Blue Man Group^TM... or some sort of super-hero latex costume porn thing. Not that I've ever watched anything like that, mind you!^*

Anyhoo, let's take that opportunity, mix it up with that 'ol Sluggo panel, and make it into a (sorta) theme (semi) quickie (half) week!

What'cha think?

Yep! Me too!

^*Heck, I've got FOLDERS of the stuff. Sorted alphabetically. According to character.

Derby Day

Really, really been busy these days ... Sorry 'bout the low content (again)...

I've Done This. I Have the Toys to Prove it

No time to post - I had a long meeting followed by an equally long interview.

Keep your fingers crossed.

So.. here's some Nazi Dinosaurs instead.

Christ! You know it ain't easy

Another quickie, untouched weird cover. In case you couldn't tell, I'm kinda in low content mode for the holidays. And other stuff. It's complicated.

Anyway ... from the "What the Hell?!? Wait.. I'd totally buy that" files...

Yeah, I'll keep an eye out for that one. I hope it's an Eros title..

Left-Over

And, we're back! Back with a quickie, but back.

Apparently the holidays don't end after the actual "holiday." I'm still cleaning up and putting things away. And of course, preparing for the next holiday. But, I'll have 2 weeks off for that one. Not that I want to take 2 weeks off, but there we are.

Anywhoo... Here's more fun with romance comics...

Man, my new home theater kicks ass.

If I ever do get a big ta-do home theater? I want a full selection of stock footage. For occasions like that.

If I Only Had the Time

Another quickie with "Lisa & Sluggo:"

Part of me wants to take the time to photoshop a mash-up combining this and that last L&S cover.

But that would only end in tears. Tears and an FBI watch list. But I'm pretty sure my Google hits would go up...

Oh, how bad it would be.

Things Not Meant to Ponder On

Life's still far, far too chaotic around here for my own good. And for decent blog posts.

Here's a disturbing cover from a Swedish "Lisa & Sluggo" to better kink out my kharmic zenniness.

I have no idea either. But it is disturbing.

Especially (I think) if you (she's) have my (naked) mindset.

Brrr.... *shudder*...

Busy, busy, busy

Another day, another missed opportunity to poke fun at wacky comics. Unfortunately, strange days and awkward restructuring at work is forcing me to spend less time goofing around with funnybooks these days. Plus, there's that whole "Holiday" thing...

I'm going to be quite busy in the upcoming weeks, and well.. badly-rendered photoshops will be taking a back door for a bit. Gotta take care of the home front, ya know. So, I'll blog when I can, and I promise to try and keep the quickies coming, at least. Case in point:

Spotted in Jack of Fables #25..

Now, where have I seen that guy before.... Seems awfully familiar...

Hmmm....
Oh, yeah! Love that guy!

Huh. Didn't know he was in Idaho...

(And, I have no idea if it *really* is Dr. Fright. But I hope so.)

V-Day

Happy 4-Year United States Lesser of Two Evils Rotation day!

Gonna be aggravating as hell. Be prepared.

Mmmmm....

I love bacon. Don't you?

Gonna go eat. I just got a new dishwasher and feel like trying it out. Bacon-style!

(Aww... shoot! I left an outline over Porky's hand. Oh well...)

Everyone in the Pool!

Still in low-content mode. Actually, I was in court yesterday for several hours and just didn't feel like doing anything else after that massive bureaucratic waste of time. Gosh, I hope these guys can somehow be put in charge of my health care! Ug.

Look for something new later this weekend - I'm working on several (read: Two) longer photoshop thingies, both of which are making me laugh as I do them. Hope they turn out like envisioned. And are less work than I think they'll be.

In the meantime, here's a disturbing Jughead panel to ponder over:

Captions welcomed.

Happy weekend, everyone!

3rd Time's the Burning Charm!

Eh, what the heck... let's make it a three-fer...

Oh, you! Jughead! Always with the Zingers!

The next time you're with your sweetie and spot a bad hairpiece... remember this one! You don't get that set-up very often, kids!

(You can blame it on me. I can take it.)

Archie Plays for Keeps

I really didn't set out to start STD Week at The Want List.

Really, I didn't. But, you gotta go where the river takes ya! And something about Jughead's reaction just made the joke too easy to ignore.

And I love, LOVE! Archie's bemused look. That's the capper. You lose a bet with Archie, you lose a bet with everyone he's ever lost a bet with. And now you know.

(And there's an ironic parallel here involving unintentional blog jokes and unwanted STDs, I'm sure. But I choose to ignore it.)

Zing!

Still on low content, house-hunting mode. But a few of the houses we're checking out are looking better than before. No batpoles as of yet.

In the meantime, here's a zinger from Veronica:

Ha Ha! Zing!!

(Is it wrong that I could spell 'Chlamydia' without dictionary help? I'm trying not to think about it.)

Vigilance. Chastity. Faith.

So, yeah. I own an issue of Areala: Warrior Nun. Don't judge me*.

Surprisingly, you don't have to change much to have a giggle or two. Wonder if I have any more...

BONUS!
Hey, Areala... remember the Immaculate Reception? 4th and long? What would you have done?

Ah... should've figured you'd play a bit more conservatively.

* judge away!

I am the cute!

...and we're back. Sort of. Things are still busy, but I am able to muster some free time between all the busy work. Enough to work in a quickie every once in a while for the next week or so, anyway.

Like when I come across pictures of the cutest li'l Batman ever! Awww.....

That's bat-dorable!

If This Be My Batcave

Official notice:

Soup and SexyNerdGirl are in hard-core house hunting mode, which takes up a lot of our spare time, what with there being so few Crime-Stopper Headquarters on the market out here in rural Idaho. Oh, and there's a big Roller Derby bout this weekend involving our Treasure Valley Roller Girls and the Jet City Bombers from the Seattle area. The former team of SexyNerdGirl, as a matter of fact. So, there's that whole old team / new team rivalry thing going on, which means lots and lots of derby practices and meetings. Y'know.. to dish the dirt on your old teammates.

Oh, and we've just started playing Spore. Wow, is that ever a fun game! Time killer, too!

As a result, expect a very sporadic posting schedule for the next week or so. Hopefully, we can soon get everything straightened out and go back to posting Jughead covers with photoshopped boobies. Or the Goddamn Batman. Maybe both.

Kisses!
