Kal said...: THAT'S all I am saying Erik.; June 21, 2011 at 11:07 AM
joe ackerman said...: I go for the beard-on beard-off thing. left up to me, I'd be walking 'round looking like a ginger Alan Moore, but the missus stops having sex with me 'round about the David Bellamy stage and I have to shave it off. and before anyone starts thinking me shallow, remember the withholding sex is only the start. when it reaches the Brian Blessed stage, the cooking and the ironing stops, too. so, yeah, I go from looking like an egg to looking like a sea captain and back again. and for the record: it's because I'm lazy.; June 21, 2011 at 11:45 AM
Super-Duper ToyBox said...: i shaved just 2b safe :); June 21, 2011 at 12:43 PM
DrGoat said...: I guess I must cop to being generally obsessive.; June 21, 2011 at 1:35 PM
Kal said...: I choose to view 'obsessive' as just hyper-vigilant behavior where one notices everything.; June 21, 2011 at 1:52 PM
Gristle McNerd said...: I just shaved yesterday just to see how I looked without a beard. Turns out I look quite silly.

So yeah. I'd rather be a good-looking psychopath than a silly-looking sane person. :P; June 21, 2011 at 2:51 PM

Debra She Who Seeks said...: Well, we know you can't be a psychopath, Cal, because psychopaths hate cats. Psychopaths always have dogs as pets because dogs can be manipulated. Cats, of course, cannot. Another reason why cat people are so superlative.; June 21, 2011 at 6:32 PM
Kal said...: I am getting that stitched into a pillow. How do you explain Dr Evil and his cat?; June 21, 2011 at 7:02 PM
Erik Johnson Illustrator said...: Dr. Evil is more delusional than psychopathic.

Personally I always figured that James Bond villains either had cats or chin beards to stroke in order to occupy their itchy trigger fingers so that they don't hit the big red button of doom before the hero can actually get there and be a legitimate threat to villainous operations.; June 21, 2011 at 7:18 PM
Cora said...: Pffft! Says who? That came from a fortune cookie, didn't it? ;-); June 21, 2011 at 7:25 PM
Tempo said...: Do we get to choose which nasty we get? If so I'll have generally obsessive thank you.; June 22, 2011 at 2:46 AM
Kal said...: I think if you have one you have them all, tempo.; June 22, 2011 at 9:27 AM
Sarah said...: I don't get the beard hate. I bet this was written by a man who can't grow a beard and takes out his jealousy in this manner.; June 22, 2011 at 10:27 AM

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.
