It’s crazy how much survives from ’60s sci-fi. Found a reference the other day to an auction from a couple years ago. Details are sketchy, but I think this went for about $28,000. Looking a bit worse for wear, Balok is still around…. Reminds me of the discovery and restoration of the prop from […]
Doing a two-fer of the weirder side of music fandom this time. One is a favorite cult film of mine, the other is more of an indie “What the hell did I just watch?” 1. Bubba Ho-Tep Finally, the true story of Elvis’ last days comes out! This movie not only has Bruce Campbell, […]
Well this is enough to make one drool….. Dodge just announced the 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat. The numbers look more impressive than the new Corvettes: 6.2L supercharged Hemi with 707hp, 650 ft/lbs of torque, hooked to an 8-speed Torqueflite or a modified Viper 6-speed manual. Styling goodies include a ’71-inspired interior and rear lights, T/A […]
Was gonna surprise MR with one of these for a birthday or something, but other musically-inclined folks might find these kinda nifty. (Warning: This site has some great little geeky items, usually a bit useless or overpriced.) Item 1: the Do-It-Yourself Guitar Pick Maker for $24.99. http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/e91b/?srp=1 Item 2: Recycled Vinyl Record […]
Got bored, so dug through my stash and reacquainted myself with a fascinating documentary about a man that fought the Cold War single-handedly in a world of black and white: This 2011 HBO documentary is very well done, and covers everything from his early childhood to the aftermath of his death. Bobby Fischer was an […]
For those of you that missed it last year, this rematch was a tad less exciting than the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hnBp7x2QAE Still had me rolling. =)
I’d threaten JJ with the claim that this was an actual product, but I’m sure he sees similar (if not worse) on a daily basis….
As a couple of you know, after a long stretch of working very weird hours I have developed a fairly solitary lifestyle and have developed an interest in movies that somewhat got out of hand. The damning evidence: Kinda wish I’d gone the Netflix route, but then I wouldn’t physically *own* anything. So anyway, […]
Been meaning to share this and finally found the media. December 16th, 1971 is the independence day for Bangladesh, when they finally broke away from Pakistan (until then, they had been East Pakistan, and their local language and customs had been gradually suppressed.) It was a very ugly war in a very impoverished nation, […]
Saw this at the loading dock at work and got a chuckle out of it… I assume they are not the brightest people to do business with, but the sales staff is kinda cute….
How many words can you think of that are their own opposites. Examples: Sanction, left, dust, off.
I was turned onto Neil Young’s new Album “A Letter Home” As you all know in my opinion Neil has never made a bad album, And with this one he still has not. This is a very Ecclectic album Typical NY. Just when you think you know whats next from him. he does something like […]

Â Let’s give a MR Community welcome to our newest member – HIGNOSE…… Â To you people in the Great Northwest, Hignose is just another new member, but, to us in Oklahoma, we’ve had to put up with him forever! (Ha!).….. Â He’s one […]
Remember, Ike also warned of the dangers of  an all powerful military.
Friends. If you look right above this post you will see the Map of our little Community. You will see the “LSDROBO Military Reservation” Many of you know what and who that refers to. Earlier this week I learned that our community member and my friend LSD Robo or better known as Robert D. Brinsfield […]
