Inconceivable!

Holy crap this is awesome. By Ben Mather at NYCC

Dude, the first step is admitting that in fact you are a toy guy

Mary's cool 😎

Is it true a federal judge can swear in a member of congress? If so, why hasn't it happened yet for Adelita Grijalva?

Bela Lugosi dressed as Dracula and smoking a cigar. Behind-the-scenes image.

Gets the taste of blood out of his mouth.

Boris Karloff in his mummy makeup as Imhotep having some lovely tea and getting makeup dried with a blow dryer.

Monsters gotta have their tea. And hair dryers, apparently.

Lon Chaney Jr. in his Wolfman makeup napping with his head on his dog Moose.

Stay. Stay! Good boy.

Elsa Lanchester as the Bride of Frankenstein doing touch-ups of her makeup behind-the-scenes.

Hold your bolts, I'm almost ready.

'Tis the season . . . for tea and toast.

The Avenger #26 Red Moon cover. The book was written by Ron Goulart and published in 1974

Rereading the Ron Goulart run of The Avenger. Red Moon was first published in '74.

Huh. That pic is 2 blocks from my apartment.

They can't be that secure, I'm surprised they haven't been hacked and released.

1950s John Romita has a Frank Robbins vibe

Something weird like that b/c there's zero hair coming out from under his hat unlike every other photo of him in a hat

Micro plastic army men

I don't remember which set I bought, but mine were pretty awesome. Sturdy rectangle base for each figure. Still have them somewhere. Look similar to these but not G.I. Joe and no jeep.

You're never too dead to be embarrassed.

I'm surprised that the TACO admin hasn't released a doctored list that only has Dems on it, like they released the doctored video of Epstein's jail cell. And I'm surprised that not releasing the list is what has pissed off MAGA.

The Bride and the Monster as purses.

Seen in the wilds of FanExpo Denver.

I'd hazard the only 1-SB quarterback to deserve the ATG label is Marino. And I mean ALL-TIME GREAT. Not just great.

Is Aaron Rodgers really an "all-time great"? There are a lot of QBs who deserve the ATG moniker, but Rodgers? He was (past tense) a really really good QB, but his lack of SBs brings him up short. An ATG wills his team to the SB more than once (see Elway in the 80s with that supporting cast).

*Schlock (can't type this early either, apparently)

Schlock. John Landis movie.

It's too early in the morning. I kept reading that as Shlock and wondering why the image was wrong.

Googling: BBQ near me AND wonder bread

I'm envious of those who can come up with so many ideas. I've been writing for 50 years and ideas are still difficult for me to come up with, whether for short stories or novels.

The roof! The roof! The roof is on fire!

Yeah, shoulda been better.

16th Street in Denver fresh off a multi-year construction facelift.

16th Street in Denver (used to be called the 16th Street Mall, but they lost the Mall somewhere) is finally reopening after YEARS of facelift construction. It looks nice, but can downtown Denver be revived? Covid and then the construction hurt the area quite a bit.

65?! Four years older than me. I honestly thought he was 80ish.
