If You Know Who This Magnificent Bastard Is...

Then you are my people. My CANADIAN people. For a certain generation of tundra dwellers he is a GOD. Bonus points if you can name his four companions and the instruments they played on his show.

Fan-Made Opening To Firefly

If the opening to my newly beloved FIREFLY wasn't already so perfect ("...burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me") this one might have worked.

I do like the inclusion of all the fun cast moments especially the wild hair on Ron Glass that freaked River out so much when she saw it.

Maybe combining the theme song and these visuals would work? Some things might just be too perfect as they are to be messed with.

Daily Reminder

They may try to convince you that they are not, but deep down each and every cephalopod is a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer. Don't be fooled. Don't give them money, directions or waterproof matches.

That Was Fast

So I guess the turnover time between a news story and a cartoon about said news story has been reduced to a day?

More Meow Mix? (Can You Barely Stand It?)

Sanctum

Thanks again to Dez over at Hollywood Spy for giving me advanced word of a film I am very interested in seeing. I love movies where a group of people go somewhere dangerous and have to fight for survival. It doesn't matter if they are fighting against nature, monsters, or themselves - this is my favorite kind of film.

At first I cringed at the name James Cameron attached to the project but apparently he is only the producer and had nothing to do with the script. Also, for once, I think having a movie like this be in 3D or Imax 3D will only enhance the visuals. Being in those caves and feeling like you are really trapped should do a lot to increase the level of enjoyment for the audience.

I don't like caves, or heights or deep water. I am sure that I will be wetting my diaper throughout this one.

Another Bleeding Heart Rant From The Cave Of Cool

How the hell does a disease like CHOLERA spread in Haiti or anyplace so close to the most advanced and prosperous nation in the world? That island is a scandal and an embarrassment to all of us in the first world.

I know the place in unbelievable corrupt and has been for hundreds of years but FUCK - it's so wrong that the people there are just supposed to quietly suffer - like being born there is their own fault and they should be punished for not being so lucky as to live their lives in a place as rich as North America is.

I am also angry that the Haitians themselves don't, en mass, decide that they want things to be better - that basic services are their right as HUMAN BEINGS.

We can send armies to rebuild a place on the other side of the world like Afghanistan (who don't want our help there) but we can't fix anything in our own backyard and Haiti IS our back yard. In the 22nd Century, a water born disease should never be permitted to occur.

We have the technology (a lot of it invented in Canada) to inexpensively bring clean water to all parts of the world regardless of their economic deficiencies. Why that is not a priority infuriates me.

What do I expect when even a place like New Orleans can't be rebuilt?

I watched the documentary 'Waiting For Superman' about the U.S. school system so maybe I am just angry that the poor are always left wanting while the rich get richer, always to the detriment of the less affluent.

Makes me sick. There should be a base level of existence that we all agree is due everyone - especially among the poorest nations and individuals. Some of the treasure that goes into fighting wars should be diverted to these kinds of humanitarian programs.

How different would the world be then?

*Now before you ask me what I am doing to make the world a better place, know that I spend the year collecting used clothing, school supplies and running shoes that get taken over to Ukrainian orphanages during the holiday season and distributed to less fortunate kids there. It's amazing to know how much nice cloths and a full book bag goes toward improving the lives of kids over there.

Now THIS Is Sexy

I have a weird sense of what I find sexy. Fake breasts do nothing for me at all and I wish that more young girls would be happy with what they were born with. I do understand, however, how hard that is with all the messages females are bombarded with by the media these days.

I do find good cosplay to be attractive. The closer a girl gets to portraying the comic book character, the more I like it. This girl is only Harley Quinn from the neck up but the complete look is very hot - slightly slutty but alot left to the imagination.

The older I get the more I don't want to see eveything layed out for me. I would rather go through the mental exercise of undressing the cute girls with my mind.

It's a guy thing (and coincidentally a 'Jersey Thing' if you saw that episode of 'South Park').

Big Cats and Pumpkins

This is my favorite Halloween tradition. I love watching these gorgeous animals go nuts over getting a pumpkin to play with. I love it when the polar bears go at the pumpkins too.

Daily Pumpkin - Day 25/26

It's Happy Bunny Time

See what I did there?

Daily Reminder

Sometimes you can do everything right and it just doesn't make any difference when dealing with these tentacled bastards. So enjoy everyday like it's your last because each time you enter the water, it probably is.

Now Showing - Predator

I am watching this right now and I am pleasantly surprised at how well it holds up after all these years. It is a terrific adventure story with great characters and a creature with a heart as dark as anything man could invent. For trivia buffs, two of the actors went on to become Governors of American states (Arnie in California of course and Jesse in Minnesota - Bill Duke ran but lost in his bid in Georgia)

I enjoyed the remake that came out a few months ago. The concept is so strong that it can survive many different situations and settings. Even the comics by publisher Dark Horse are good.

All My Central Alberta Followers

Let me know you are out there and live close to me. Maybe we can meet sometime. My first meeting with Noah who lives in my city went well and I would like to know that there are more of you Albertans out there.

Wayne Brady and Idi Amin

Earlier today I lost the first follower off my Tumblr site that actually took the time to tell me why he was cutting me off. It seems that my posting of this picture of Idi Amin with the caption - "Is Idi Amin gonna have to shot a bitch?" was hurtful to him.

I was referencing, of course, the hilarious scene from the Dave Chappelle show where Wayne Brady said - "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?"

I know that Idi Amin was a bloodthirsty tyrant but I thought the look on his face was perfect for the caption I chose. Was I wrong? Is it too soon to find humor in any situation involving someone responsible for mass killings of his own people? Maybe I am not PC or sensitive as I was in my youth.

Here is the short version where Wayne says his famous line. This is what I was shooting for with my captioning. Some people just take things so seriously.



For some unknown reason this long form video is reversed but it is still hysterically funny. You really see another side of Wayne Brady. Too bad Dave Chappelle gone and lost his mind because his show was once one of the funniest things on TV.

Another Award Well Deserved For Me

Big thank you to my buddy, Budd over at Scifi Media for recognizing the effort and creativity that goes into my DAILY PUMPKIN posts in the month of October. It's the second year for me doing this and I save up the pictures all year and choose only the tastiest morsels to highlight during this time of year.

Take a trip over to his blog and read some of his reviews of books and movies. I like that he gives SPOILER FREE write-ups that get me excited for a film or book but doesn't ruin the experience for me.

Daily Reminder

I can't stress this enough - keep your katanna with you at ALL times. You just never know when you are going to need it.

Another Sharp Dressed Man

Nothing like a sweet hat to finish off an outfit. Ah, to be a royal.

This Will Not End Well

Meet a very realistic android called 'Actroid-F' with the F standing for fucking. You know the Japanese scientists only created it so that they could have sex with it. That has been their robot agenda all along. Just dress it in one of those school girl outfits and it's ready to go.

I have visions of this freakish thing becoming sentient right in the middle of a session with it's creator. First it clamps it's vagina down on the guy's penis then moves to to kill each and every males that has ever fantasized about screwing a robot. Before we can do anything about it, Japan is emptied of it's male population and Skynet recruits her for their T-200 line of vagina snapping terminators.

Remember you heard it here first.

Actroid-F, an ultra-realistic android developed by Japanese roboticist Kokoro, was publicly unveiled in Tokyo this week. With too-humanoid-for-comfort facial expressions, and her assigned role as inpatient caretaker (presumably to provide comfort and security), Actroid-F is proof positive of our impending demise.

Happy Halloween, Bitches

Wicked Cool Furniture Piece Of The Day

Canadian designer Adrian Johnson constructed this retro loveseat by shoving the back seat of a 1986 BMW 325e into an olive green 1980 Gibson Frost Clear Deluxe refrigerator.

He has a bunch of similar “Fridgecouch” mashups that you can see here.

Another Award For The Cave Of Cool

Yes, it the fall when I young woman's heart turns towards awarding awards. It's been awhile but the 'Cave of Cool' is happy to thank the adorable Robyn for bestowing this neato recognition on us.

I love the way she does these cut and paste jobs that never look photoshopped or are badly photoshopped. The unprofessional look only adds to their charm.

You need to click her name to visit Robyn's site. She tell hilarious stories about her adventures in the Internet dating world. It's really sad to see the losers that she attracts. However, if it wasn't for them we would not have her snarky and funny comments.

According to Robyn, I was given this award for the following quote. It's really some of my finest writing.

I may be selfish but I like the ribbed condoms that I wear inside out for my own pleasure. What? Am I missing the point and the romance of the situation?

Girl knows what is funny. She deserves a good man. Here's to hoping she never settles.

Daily Pumpkin - Day 23/24

Death To Charlie

What the fuck is wrong with California that Charlie Sheen can run rampant all over your state with total immunity from responsibility for the shit he causes? Does he actually have to kill a hooker or someone innocent before someone locks him away for a good long time.

He has publicists to say that he had a 'negative reaction' to his 'medication' (cocaine). He gets to negotiate when he shows up for rehab then only has to sign in and is considered 'cured'. He can threaten his wife with a knife and not go to jail because said jail is 'non smoking'.

AND to top everything off he gets paid ONE MILLION DOLLARS per episode of the terrible sitcom he is on.

No wonder the Taliban hates America and 'Two and a Half Men'.

It's A Catastrophe

This Pretty Much Says It All

There Must Always Be A Cave Of Cool

I love this room. This cave IS a cave.

How Great Are These Times?

I am captioning kitties while watching a free, live, 'Trick or Treat for Unicef' concert with Selena Gomez. Life is good.

Finally A Commercial I Can Watch More Than Once

The First Round Of Drinks Is On Me

"Pulpo Paul, the Nostradamus of octopuses who slithered into all of our hearts by correctly predicting the winner of 8 out of 8 World Cup matches, has closed his tiny eyes and lifted one of his soothsaying tentacles for the last time. The Sea Life Center in Oberhausen, Germany announced today that Paul the SLYCIC Octopus has passed away at the age of 2 and a half."

Didn`t see that one coming did you bulbhead?

Worst Holloween Costume, EVER!

I searched and searched and now I found it. WTF is this? If you are a model do you even want this picture in your portfolio? How does one person convince another person to dress like this? Is it art or a practical joke? I am embarrassed for everyone involved but not too embarrassed to share with all of you.

If You Remember When This Was 'Cutting Edge'

Then you are my people.

Yang Sofa By François Bauchet

I love this kind of wacky furniture because I think of what the child Calvin would enjoy to sit on. It builds it's own fort. How cool is that?

Kitties Play Paddycake

Two of the laziest cats ever. They can't even work up some enthusiasm for a good scrap. This clip needs to be set to music. Thanks to Alphaville for finding this first.
