Cardco 21 years later...

Today's the day I light a candle for the best comic book shop I ever knew!

One year ago today I posted my 1000th and final comic book in honor of it's memory and I haven't drawn since.

Being so busy now with everything else I have going on I don't have time to miss it. But the old store will never be forgotten!

RIP Cardco!

Upcoming November movies!

The months seem to fly bye! I can't believe I'm doing another movie post so soon! Lot's of good ones (for a change) coming out this month:

 Big Hero 6

This may end of being a great movie, I just don't have a desire to see it. Yes, it's from a Marvel comic and yes, some parts look funny but it just doesn't capture my attention as much.

We'll see what Megan thinks before I know if I'll be watching it in theaters or not.

 Dumb and Dumber To

I think this movie came out 10 years too late. I'm scared all the humor was shown in the trailer and the movie won't be that good.

Megan wants to see it.

I'll be in the theaters finding out all these questions regardless of how I feel.

 Interstellar

Not really a Christopher Nolon fan myself, but when you put Matthew Mconahey in a movie, I'm going to watch it anyway, so good move by the director. The story seems interesting enough. I'm hopeful for this one.

 Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

Yeah....no.

 Penguins of Madagascar

I love the penguins and I love the Madagascar movies and I don't know why! But I'll be begging to see this one however I doubt I'll get to see it in theaters. Megan has no interest in seeing it at all.

I made her go see Guardians of the Galaxy with me and it was hard enough to get her to go to that!

So what about you? Any of these movies you're interested in seeing as well? Do tell.

World Series 2014

This is why baseball will forever be my favorite sport.

2 teans that no major media outlet picked to be in the World Series get in and have a knock down drag out 7 Game Series that came down to the last out. History won't have this series at the top but it should be in someone's top 20.

If the Royals could've taken Bumgarner deep in the 9th to win the game, I think it would've been in the Top 5.

But Tim Hudson gets a well deserved ring and we can all be happy for him. Royals should walk away from this with the heads held high. They had a great series but it just wasn't yet there time. So as KC fans cry into their BBQ this week San Francisco will be resting after partying all night and into the mid-morning.

Now I can't wait to get my hopes dashed by the Mets again next year!

War Dang Eagle!

So last night they announced the "predicted" playoff spots and Auburn is #3! Kinda shocking Alabama wasn't given as much love by the voters. But I read our win of Kansas State get more impressive very week, so I think that's a factor.

I pretty much predicted this first round of votes correctly, with the exception of Ole Miss being in there. I knew Oregon would be favored by the voters and the other rankings don't surprise me one bit but I think the voters realize with Ole Miss and Auburn squaring off this week, the loser's spot will go to Oregon and the whole world will be happy.

I don't care. All I know is for the first time this season my Tigers are the underdogs against Ole Miss and it feels good to be underestimated again!

This game WILL NOT be easy. With LSU putting a fire in their bellies (and the fact it's in Oxford) Auburn's going to have to dig deep on this one to win. If we beat them solidly, I'm almost positive we'll jump Bama in the AP Poll too.

We'll just have to wait and see....WDE.

Still not feeling it

Well, Rebels has been going o for almost a month now and I still don't know a thing about it. The Expanded Universe was the main reason I was a fan of the Franchise and now that it's gone I can use that time for other hobbies now.

Missing Episode 7 will be easy.

Bye Bye ComCast!

I finally got rid of Comcast this month. I couldn't stand their mistreatment and abuse any longer.

I'M FREE!!!

And DSL isn't as bad as I thought it was! 

WALMART EMPLOYEE FIGHT Prank Call

THIS is how you prank call!

Why would you buy this?! (4)

 Poop-like soap. This is awful. Imagine washing your hands with this and your wife catches you. She'll have the divorce papers written up before the day's end.  Or even better, give it to the kids to play with in the bath tub right before the babysitter arrives. Throw in a hidden recorder and you've got a YouTube hit! The possibilities are endless.

 Soda Cans Toppers. What to add hassle while enjoying a coke? Buy these and be "that person" at the party that no one will invite ever again.

 Wooly Mammoth Hair. I know it's unique but what would you use it for other than to gross people out.

Giant Gummie Worm. Make yourself sick of them in one day with this item. Or better yet, bring them out while having guest over and tell them "this" will be the entertainment for the evening.

Watch them run at a cartoon pace out the door.

Have a good weekend folks!

Why would you buy this?! (3)

 Skinned Rabbit. Yeah...the perfect thing to order online when you're planning on having guests over for dinner and the super market down the road is fresh out of...rabbit.

 Goatee shaving template. For folks who are too dumb to do it themselves I suppose. This is one of the STUPIDEST things for sale online I've ever seen.

 Pizza Cologne. Want to smell like a hot pizza? Or attract a ninja turtle? What about torture someone who's starving? Or fool your kid into thinking you're having something other than peas and broccoli for dinner? This is the gift for you!

LED Rainbow shower head. Bath in a rainbow and pray none of your friends ever find out about the stupid amount of money you paid for this cheap gimmick.

Why would you buy this?! (2)

 Bed Prism Glasses. Is there someone there while you're in bed sleeping and you don't want to raise your eyes to see who it is? Buy these, prey they don't fall off your head while you turn in your sleep and hit yourself in the face with a bat for being so stupid as to buy them in the first place.

 Emergency Underpants Dispenser. Just what it says. So if you peed yourself laughing, grab a quick few and you'll be covered. I guess one size fits all and that size is "stupid"

 Go Girl Urination device. Now girls can pee standing up! I was just as shocked as you are to find these exist though as to what purpose I have no idea. I guess when ladies use the men's room and the urinals are the only things open they'll be saved with this gem of a device. Or they could experience the joys of going out behind a bush or tree and....nah, that's just nasty!

Fish Tank Coffee Table. Sure it looks nice but what happens when it breaks?! I'M not cleaning it up I can tell you that now!

Why would you buy this?! (1)

Time to talk about things you can buy online...but why?

 8 pound bag of cereal marshmellows. Tired of there never being enough in your cereal? Buy this whopping bag online and show your cereal who's boss!! (or deal with it and eat your cereal like a man)

 USB flash drive Gun. Take it to work and....get arrested. Or to a meeting or out to the park for use... and get everyone around you calling the cops! The perfect USB drive that you can't use in public without scaring the crap out of folks!

 1500 lady bugs. I'm not kidding. You can buy them online. I'm guessing it has something to do with you garden but I wouldn't know. Besides, what if they try to cheat you with only 1455 lady bugs instead? How would you know?! You really going to count them out of the box one at a time?!

Bathtime Splash Guard. You can buy it on Amazon if you're kids such a sissy that a little soap in the eye makes them cry. Way too much time on their hands for the person who came up with this idea.

More tomorrow!

Cool things you can buy online (4)

Just thought I'd continue my discussion from last week about wild things you can find online.

 Remote controlled flying shark. I have no idea why, but Megan would want this.

 Hand held console that plays old Nintendo and super Nintendo games. Another brilliant invention! Perfect for this day and age!

 Inflatable Captains Chair. Not the biggest Star Trek fan but this wouldn't be a bad thing to have.

Tetris sandwich cutter. Ha! Megan would like it. It cuts off the crust!

For all the Florida State fans out there.

Congratulations. Auburn thanks you for it's inevitable rise back through the ranks of college football.

Florida State will be one of 2 teams from non-SEC conferences to make it into the playoffs I think. Would Oregon be the other? We'll just have to wait and see.

And Bama? Wow. I didn't know you had it in you!

War Eagle!

Now THIS is baseball!

Now that the Giants have embarrassed the Cardinals the match has been set for one of the best World Series matches I've seen in a long time.

It's the dominant Royals team vs Tim Hudson's Giants. Regardless of who wins this one, it's going to be great.

I love both of these teams and it would only be better if my Mets were in. (but at 3rd place in a weak division that didn't happen)

I'm glad these are the teams we'll see and I can't wait for the games to begin!!

Cool things you can buy online (3)

 Ninja star coat hangers. What better way to tell your friends you kick A than these puppies?

 Polaroid Picture paper. Go ahead. Take a picture. It'll last longer!

 Russian Roulette Water Balloon. Freaking genius came up with this. You fill it up then take turns with friends pulling the trigger until one chamber (the carries a needle) pops the balloon all over you. GREAT IDEA!!

Salt Gun. Ouch! They actually make these? Dang! I can see some old lady not wanting a gun but using this to defend herself. Wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of this!

Have a good weekend folks!

Cool things you can buy online (2)

 Lego ice trays. They have ice trays for everything these days, but imagine the spaz out your kids will get when they notice the ice in their trays are Legos themselves. Might be a good stocking stuffer idea, come to think of it.

 Magnetic light switches. For keys I can understand and even find that convenient, but a hammer? Why would you need a hammer by a light switch?! "I'll get the light. Goodnight dear.....for good..."

 Mario wall decals! YES! YES! You're kid won't enjoy it as much as you do but who cares!? He's not paying the bills in that place. YOU ARE. (so go for it)

Toilet lights. Megan says I need them when I go to the bathroom in the dark in the middle of the night but I don't know why. I have perfect aim in pitch blackness!

Cool things you can buy online (1)

 3 man chess? Why not! It's been a while since I've talked about cool things you can buy online. So I thought I'd do a little bit of that today!

 Money toilet paper, for those of us who wants to see what it's like living as Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.

 Bacon flavored lollipop. Need I say more?!

This is more for Megan, not me.

I'll be back with more tomorrow!

Things Megan wants

 As some of you know, Meg's an R2-D2 fan. So anything with his likeness on it she loves. Like this watch.

 I gotta admit though, this trash can is my favorite of the bunch.

 Lawn Chair

And she actually saw this bathrobe at DragonCon this year but didn't get it because I didn't want a bathrobe and for some unexplained reason she wants us to get the same thing together.

Things I want

 How fun would it be to own your very own Luke Skywalker "formal" jacket?! How cool would it be when you're noticed by others for wearing it?!

These are just a few of the things I think about when I'm laying in bed at night.

And this car shade....Best. Thing. Ever!

I'll be back tomorrow to show you things Megan would want.
