I Love Illiterate Racists
I am sorry that I cannot in good conscience support his call to murder the 'JUICE'. Personally. I have a serious love affair going on with both apple and cranberry juice right now that I would like to see continue.
Catcerto
In honor of National Cat Day (which is October 29th) I am pre-posting this video of an amazing concert combining Nora, the piano playing cat and an orchestra. Simply brilliant and proof that the 'Mighty Kitteh' rule the Internet. I personally welcome the rule of our new Feline Overlords because I know I am getting a basket bed with my name on it. Thanks to theMom for finding this before me.
I Always Suspected...
that SOMETHING was using my bubble bath when I was out of the house. Thanks to Brother Darius NOW I KNOW!!!! You can't let up on these freakin' things for a SECOND! When I find suckers on my luffa then it'll be WAR! Also, if you think that leaving THIS in my fridge somehow makes up for your violation then you are wrong. It may work with the ladies but not me. I have been burned too many times by your lies and friendly overtures. I haven't forgotten London in 1987.

"You kids quiet down. Grandpa is listening to his Tex Ritter 78s." (If you get that reference then you are too old to be online but still my people)
Just Beautiful
Not only talented and funny but drop dead gorgeous. Call me an old pervert but pretty is pretty you haters. Don't ever change Selena. You are doing everything right. There is room for all of you Disney girls at the top of the pyramid.
I Love Dangerous Weather
So this would be like my dream vantage point. Even better if it was on a ship at sea but one can't have everything.

I Am Torn Again And Tip My Hat To My Enemy
It is said to take pleasure in your enemy and celebrate his victories. I love this website's presentation and this product's packaging design but I am torn. All they are trying to do is have us drink their fine liquor, get stinky drunk, then fall off bridges and ships into the water and make the job easier for our Cephalopod enemies. At the same time I enjoy Rum. I am happy to share these short films with you from the company website. As you may notice they appear to have been created by someone who lives within my own brain. I should sue them for intellectual theft but I am too damn happy with the results to give them anything but my double thumbs up. Where I to have more thumbs than two those would be in the UP postion as well. With their black and white Victorian sensibilities they are right up my alley. They project the appropriate amount of dread that one should feel whenever they venture near the oceans. "There are things there that do not sleep." I will enjoy their product but lament the tragic loss of life that occured to make it's creation possible. God bless you magnificent bastards. You have restored my spirit.

Guilty or Innocent
I collected this meme from the wondrous Ms Surge and it's interesting. You can only answer GUILTY or INNOCENT with as little comment as possible. That will be hard for me but I will try.
Asked someone to marry you? - Guilty - she first said yes then said no three days later.

Been suspended from school? - Innocent - Once fought to get myself out of Religion Class and when told I could still get credit but I couldn't tell anyone, I got indignant and told the teacher and the principal that unless my three friends also got free from the class with credit I would tell EVERYONE and LEAD the revolt against a very poor teacher. And I gave them ten seconds to sign the agreement. I graduated from a Catholic High School without having to attend Religion Studies 30.

They Look Mean Even As Babies
After some research I am beginning to think that that cartoon character based on these guys is a mild representation of the trouble makers they really are. Just look at the killer attitude in their eyes. If they could get at those fingers holding them it would be snack time.
I Was Once This Happy
When I got my first passport and Mom made me a drug mule by stuffing bags of coke in my diaper after frequent visits to Mexico. Good time, good times.
Classic GI Joe Toys
This box art is fabulous. One of the worst things that ever happened to me in my life was the loss of all my toys when we moved back from Europe. I had the greatest collection of 'Big Jim', 'GI Joe', 'Mego', and 'Evil Knievel' figures you could ever hope for. Seeing this art breaks my heart because I had all these things. Well except for the Sky Hawk which I flew (like a kite as per the instructions) on the day after Christmas. Once I detached the hook it was gone. Damn thing had freakish aerodynamics and it probably landed in France (we lived 15 minutes from the French border in Germany).
Robo sent me this awesome site that has the box art from all the old Joe's and the fantastic art they have in general from that classic era of the Joe toys. Don't be surprised to see many future posts on this stuff. I so wish they would just take the old molds out of storage and reissue this stuff as reasonable prices. Though I suspect I will be searching for the 'Sea Wolf' and the 'Deep Sea Diver' set online because that was my favorite set of all time. You know I have spoken fondly of my love for a good tub. Probably comes from all those hours as a kid taking my sub and figures on adventures in the 'Bubble Bath Sea'. Hated the fricken squids back then. They always kept me from the treasure chest that sometimes you had to just search for.

Chelsea Lately
I have been lucky in my life to know some amazing women. Beautiful, difficult divas with wicked, dirty, evil senses of humor that come from a deep hated of the men who have hurt them and the women who ended up with the men who have hurt them. I love sarcasm when its done well and women can dish up some of the best snark around. To paraphrase Seinfeld - "men get over things and women just tease another girl until she develops an eating disorder". Female teachers are the best to be around during happy hour or 'library meetings' at the end of the week. For some reason the venom just builds up through the week and is released with a delicious snarl after a couple of vodka 'smoothies'.
I was trying to figure out today why I enjoy the 'E Channel's' show, 'Chelsea Lately' so much. Hosted by comedian and full time bitch, Chelsea Handler, it brings together members of her writing staff and stand up comedians to discuss the entertainment and pop culture issues of the day. Of course this round table like set-up and quick flow lead to some great lines from the comedians who we all know are deeply bitter, insecure people. True comedy comes from envy and personal pain so the more damaged you are the better laughs you can produce in the audience.
Her show is pro-gay and anti-celebrity stupidity. Like frequent quest and gay staff 'homosexual' Brad said - "This is a show about celebrity gossip, our periods and talking about Branjelina!" I know now why I like it. Wickedly funny and fast with Handler being the kind of ringmaster I enjoy being around. In another life she would have made me pee myself laughing at the weekly staff meeting. I wish she would ditch the celebrity interviews she does in the last 10 minutes or so of the show but I realize that is the price she has to pay to get to hate on celebs in the first 2/3rds. Combined with the 'Daily Show' this is a easy hour to commit to everday to watch two of the best in the business give me the perspective I want from the news of the day.
Cave Of Cool's New Header
Further proof (as if I needed it) that my Agents are the best visitors out there. Greg/Leviathud created a great new header for me to celebrate the last days of the months and Halloween. Like the one Wings did it hits me right where I live. Only the evil Octopus would try to gain entry to the Cave of Cool with such an appealing disguise as a pumpkin. A reminder that that is how they GETCHA!. Thanks again Brother Leviathud.
This Is Why I Don't Tweet
Because then I will have to really put effort into my time travel technology projects to save the future from the Nazi Dinosaurs and Killer Robots. I just can't be bothered right now with doing all that math. Sorry Nicole.
100/1000 Celebration
I sit here stunned that it actually happened. I go on everyday just plugging away on this blog sharing the stuff I find that I think are cool or visually interesting or strange or infuriating and I just let it come as it comes. Partially an exercise in writing and partially an attempt to connect with like minded individuals, I think I have been successful in my goal. If you look at the numbers/benchmarks I set for myself I certainly have been. As as yesterday I had 105 followers and 1,026 unique daily visitors - a personal high point for me. My average is around 850 visitors a day. Yesterday I thought about quiting and walking away and just leaving it for what it was but who knows. Maybe my reblogging and loopy thoughts entertain some who need that in their day. I know I get alot out of it. Thanks again to my people out there who do visit. I may not hear from you as regularly as some but the numbers can't lie. My unlimited love to you all - Kal
