The finest Christmas movie ever made is "Die Hard." Don't get me wrong, "Nightmare Before Christmas" was pretty good, too. Like the part where Jack Skellington, pursued by elf snipers in a gunship sleigh, leaps off an exploding rooftop with a firehose tied around his waist, rappels down a skyscraper, shoots open a window as he swings into it, enjoys a brief respite of relief when he realizes the plummeting hose caddy is dragging him back out again to his certain death and undoes the knot just in the nick of time. And he runs across broken glass with his bare feet before shooting Oogie Boogie with a handgun he has secreted on his person with mailing tape, ending the Nakatomi Plaza hostage situation. Oh, that's right. That was actually in "Die Hard." The prosecution rests. =P
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.

Thanks for spoiling the future post - The Best Holiday Movie Ever - I agree with you. Die Hard is the perfect Christmas movie.
I still can't get over that the Disney Channel isn't showing this film this year!
