"A surprisingly topical deleted scene from Timing."

Man, there's like the barest of bare-bones articulation on that McFarlane Terminator Sarah Connors; but it is a good-looking figure.

Anyway, while I was enjoying The Sarah Connors Chronicles (which has indeed been cancelled since I did this), I'm less enthused for Terminator: Salvation, which, hey! Opens today. Can't put my finger on why exactly. I'll probably see it at the cheapo theatre, I suppose. I also may need to put a little legwork into finding replacement copies of Robocop vs. Terminator, too.

By the way, although you can just see the top of one of the little robots that came with her, I knocked over Major Motoko from Ghost in the Shell, then forgot to put her back for this picture. I forget what the little robots were called, and I loved the first series and movie; but fell off it.

And just now, days after setting that up: I wish I could've found a gorilla's head mask for Bender to wear there...Actually, I did this a fair bit ago, and just last weekend finally got a Wall-E figure for the Youngest, which he loves. Would've been nice to sneak him in there, but no dice.

"The Meme should be, 'how many frigging links can I cram in one post?'"

The Fortress Keeper tagged me the other day from the Fortress of Fortitude with a meme from A Trout in the Milk: What’s YOUR favourite blogpost of all time? ("Favourite"? Pillock must be quite literate, or a Brit...)

Good question. And like a lot of questions, ask me now and you'll get one answer, ask me next week and you'll get something else. And where to even start? The classics like Seanbaby? Bloggers that may not be on full time any more, but are hardly forgotten like Ye Olde Comick Booke Blogge, Random Panels, or Gone and Forgotten? (The first two links aren't to the homepages, but to personal favorites, and the first one is especially well written.)

Fortunately, "favorite" is completely subjective.

And I read a lot of blogs: I have a job where if no one's bothering me, I can read your entire archive in a good afternoon. So there's the danger of forgetting someone...still, I do remember the blog posts that inspired me to start blogging. For instance, a classic from Bully at Comics Oughta Be Fun! that answered a long running question for me. Go check it out here, I'll wait.

I asked that in the comment section of a prior post, somehow assuming that heavy (so to speak) theological questions like that one were the baliwick of a little stuffed bull. And damn right they are!

Thanks, Bully! (Bully also tackles the serious issues every so often, and I don't mean comics. Check here if you haven't already.)

Shoot, and now I'm supposed to tag some people: how about Comics All Too Real, Bob Mitchell in the 21st Century, Brainfreeze, Siskoid of Siskoid's Blog of Geekery, and The Hurting. There's a couple of other blogs I didn't tag since I think they might've been tagged already; but I'm curious to see what these guys think. Huh. Suppose I should tell them they're tagged or something...

OK, one more.




This one wasn't even my idea, the wife and kids were big fans of the Gender Bender. The little one tried his best to climb into the ring himself, and I should've got a photo of that before I dragged him off it, kicking and screaming... Read more!
