Aww!! Giant plushie microbes! How cute are they? (via...Athlete's foot and the common cold are both so cute!
Broccoli Wokly can be purchased at Piggly Wiggly.
Sig Sauer P226. Greatest gun ever! Feel special.
Beautiful and reliable but can still scare the
living bejesus outta anyone.
What handgun are you?

Saw the girls from Charlie’s Angels 2 interviewed. They were coming across as *really* (not just generic actor) airhead dumb. It surprised me, and leads me to wonder if they're *acting* really dumb (given that TV interviews are canned and totally non-spontaneous) or actually total vacuum-heads. Either way, it begs the question... Does it make them more attractive to the public at large, or was it a horrible mistake to let them go on a promotional tour?
I got to talking with Ray via email about the great old USA TV show "Night Flight" . There is very little of value about the show online, though. Lots of weird, goofy rock videos, movie clips and cult films. (It was later renamed or replaced by "Up all Night" and it just wasn't as good with a host, even if it was Gilbert Gottfried.) Ticking off things that wake back up... music videos by The Residents, Dynaman (the Japanese version of Power rangers) Episodes, SubGenius "Bob" films, Starewicz films and if I remember right, the first time I saw Porky pig say "Son of a b-b-b-b-b... gun. I bet you thought I was going to say Son of A bitch, didn't ya?" as he hammered his thumb. I'm wondering if I have any episodes on tape in my "box of unmarked random TV" collection along with old episodes of the real Ghostbusters, max headroom and misc MTV. If so, hopefully I'll be able to get Kev to burn them to a DVD for me. I'd really like to view The Intruder and Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge again.
I wonder if Tony is still part of Amway? The allure of that company is very strong, and the conditioning is not unlike certain cult tactics of peer pressure and indoctrination. Speaking of indoctrination, someone scanned in a Scientology promotional book from the 70s. Even if you don't care about the cult, the production values and the styles are well worth it. Every single page is a riot.
I was also reminded of Kelly... whom I had a massive crush on. I thought it was a great match... she was cute, personable, a gamer, from Massachusetts, and the only other person in our group that was single. Alas, it wasn't meant to be... I think I tried too hard. Kelly was part of our old gaming group one summer, compliments of the Wu's and SFSFS. That and meeting Danny via Tropicon are two of the best influxes of folks into my social circle thanks to the society. Downside... I think Elaine was obtained through there as a result, too. I've attended quite a few Tropicons, though three of them resulted in an early exit and trip around town instead. Highlights include Kathleen and I assisting Ray as GMs, and a Zombie killer game... Meeting Neil Gaiman, and talking about the CBLDF, sweeping the casino, and having my choice of all prizes one year, winning a grab bag of all Shadowrun items available that year. Sneaking in to just browse the dealer’s room before bolting off with Danny for lunch elsewhere, after getting fun loot to send to people and keep for myself. Other Kelly Memories are going to See Men In Tights and peanut butter M&Ms, 60s DC universe game.
