Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

the movie's okay, I guess, but the book is vastly superior.
Are you going to tell us? I just don't know.

As they always are. What name did you give the Empress.
Let's get a few more entries Robyn.
The Plate here was originally from the 1827 edition of "Magical Estrangements and Other Diversions." by Missy Ouspeck a renegade shaker who went west and married a successful Bauxite miner. The Plate itself was created by Mr. Prole, a pen name for Reg McLink. If you use a magnifying glass one can find letters that when put together spell out: "mukoh erup si evoba eht."
Glad to be of help

Art and Review
See, now I would believe that Laz, if I didn't already know where it came from. That is some sweetly dangerous imagination you got there. You should be designing gowns for Ga Ga.
you know, I've been thinking. this book really needs the peter jackson treatment. it's got a lot in common with LOTR: they're both awesome fantasy epics that got turned into rather mediocre movies in the 80s (or so I'm told, I never saw the LOTR cartoon). isn't it kinda time to turn this into a REAL movie? :P
I would go for that over the remake they are doing of 'Fright Night' - sorry, I know that is totally unrelated but it's been bugging me for days - that 'Fright Night' remake. SOOOOO unecessary.
I thought they did a great job with the 80's movie, but then I've never read the book.
But one thing's always bothered me...Falcor looks like a dog to me, not a dragon. I'm a big fan of dragons, and as a kid I never understood why they called him a dragon.
He was a dog. And the kid just never questioned it. "Yup, says he's a dragon, I will go with that." I never read the book either but the movie was an emotional roller coaster for me. There is alot of sad and terrible things going on in that movie for a kid to deal with.
Oh btw - thanks for the comment Sarah and welcome to the Cave.
