FYI, the 4th picture down looked like a still shot from the 1925 silent film, "Ben-Hur", starring Francis X. Bushman and Ramon Navarro. Bushman actually had experience driving chariots in his free time, so he was a natural in the movie (the final race scene is exhilarating to watch).
The 1972 Canada-Russia Hockey summit was a formative part of my life too -- I was only 9 years old, but I was mesmerized by Vladislav Tretiak! As I watched the Soviets skate circles around the ham-fisted Canadians, I KNEW this was hockey at a completely different level of near perfection.
For the record, I am not weird -- just super intelligent with a fantastic memory!
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.

Nobody drives a chariot the way Francis X. Bushman could!
Looks like Gordie Howe left a lasting impression on Alexandr Yakushev!
That's a great shot of Godzilla
How did you girls know who those were pictures of. You recognize Russian hockey players from the 70s?
The 1972 Canada-Russia Hockey Summit was a formative part of my life! How could I NOT recognize Howe and Yakushev?
I don't know what Tundra Bunny's excuse is. Who the hell is Francis X. Bushman?
So I was right. You are both weird.
