Hallmark puts up exactly one (1) Chanukah movie each holiday season, and they are usually pretty offensive. Loving Leah and Chanukah on the Rocks are the best of a bad bunch.

But do they have a vampire ambulance guy?

I know it's supposed to be part of his RPG, but it looks like he has an oversized pepper mill. And kitchen scissors.

The Hell of It from Phantom of the Paradise. 'Good for nothing, bad in bed, nobody loves you and you're better off dead, goodbye!'

Nice write-up. Got mine coming on the slow boat from Bombusbee. Glad to hear it's worth the trouble.

Westlake is simply the best, a huge catalog of mainly great to brilliant stuff. While his series work is most praised, stand-alones like The Ax, Kahawa, Adios Scheherezade and Baby, Would I Lie are worth discovering.

It's genuinely refreshing to see your post, glad to have you in office. If I could see one thing improve on my block in 2026, I would love to get a left-turn arrow added to the intersection of Hollywood and Nichols Canyon. It would likely cut down on the amount of accidents there

Come On, Let's Boogey to The Elf Dance and then leap into the void.

That chimney's not going to shit down itself...

The Thermos had 'funny' town names with their ZIP codes, like Santa Claus Indiana. Had it, resented it.

Now if Son of Svengoolie can factor into Stranger Things somehow, it'll all make sense.

The companions turn into an Eight Track tape and a rubber chicken! And the tape fits into the robot's midsection. I'm sold. And that van is perfect for an A-Team crossover.

Lego set of the Grady twins from The Shining

Come build with us, Danny! For ever...and ever...and ever...

Italian beef, wet, spicy giardinere, cheese (so what?) from Pearl's Red Hots on Tujunga in Studio City. Aaahhhhh.

Finally, there's a good Italian Beef spot in Los Angeles. You can find nearly any other genre of food here but Chicagoan is all too rare.

I keep going back to 'Achoo' as the song that makes me smile the most.

If you brought the whole Lucha VaVoom show with, you'd be bigger than Springsteen.

Ya gotta admit, Uncle Miltie did have a hell of a periscope!

I totally missed the whole thing with the fixed Eris head. I wasn't keen on Drift but I bought the head on its own for $6 direct from PSX. I might go for this guy later though, it's nice looking.

We're calling this one 'Oops! All Thagomizers!'

What's the name of the guy in the front?

His new one coming in September should be great, an adaptation of Donald E. Westlake's novel The Ax starring Lee Byung-Hun

I thought it was weird that I only had one Transformer that turned into a Popsicle, so I got a completely different guy that also turns into a Popsicle.

It would complete my empty wallet collection at least.

It's a real mystery to me, too. We got a fully redone Prime Airachnid, everyone's doing multiple Devastators, nobody's doing Animated Constructicons, much less Omega Supreme.

There may already be unofficial ones. Check Chowbrick out, they get all kinds of TF themed unofficial bootlegos.

Those complaining about a lack of Gun-Megatron are always welcome to check out 3rd Party options, particularly NewAge Romulus.

A prestige cable adaptation of World War Z done the way the book plays out, with all of the different stories told. Or a series based on Donald Westlake's Dortmunder comic heist novels.

That horse is a Prize Winning Idea! I'm not sure how though.

An author I learned about only after reading about 'Von Dankninny' in your very excellent book The Last Guru.

Great thread, thank you for posting. Another wrinkle in the shoe making process is making the last, the 'mold' for a particular shoe, which are usually unique for each size/width of a shoe. Making a last from scratch is a form or die making process that the factories also do.
