Seems So Slow

Great video - the song is called 'The Ballad of Barry Allen' and comes from the band Jim's Big Ego - the lead singer's name is Jim Infantino, I'll let the readers guess where the inside joke in that is...

Best...Chase...Ever.

From the 2006 Doctor Who Xmas Special, "The Runaway Bride".

Geek Toy of the Week

From the good folks at Firebox.com comes this handy solution to the problem of not enough USB ports for your computer - the TARDIS 4-Way USB Hub - not only is it a hub, but it provides lights and sounds as well. Truly, the perfect gift for the Geek in your life.

This is Cool...

A new twist on an old favourite

See, Mom, You Can Get A Job Doing This. Or At Least an Education.

Or at the very least get yourself a grant from Wizards of the Coast to start or maintain your on-campus RPG.
Which will mean you'll get twice as many hot college girls as before by using your devotion to D&D as a pick-up line... Which is probably a -15 CHA penalty.

"Wow, you just granted me a hardness bonus of +10!"
"Did you just cast 'Enlarge Person'?"
"You're so beautiful I'm stunned for 1d4 rounds."

We Are Not Alone!

For those of you who haven't seen it before, "Invader Zim" is an absolutely hilarious cartoon which showed originally on the Nickelodeon network.
My favourite moment comes at about 1:26 - "Take me to the WEASELS!"

From the Depths I Come (and yet another geek legend passes)

Hi everyone!

Sorry I've been gone for so long but this pesky thing called Real Life got in the way for a bit. Fortunately, Flash was there to pick up the slack, but I'm back and will be getting back into the posting biz.

Following up on Flash's post on Yvonne De Carlo, I thought I'd post on another geek legend that passed away too quickly, writer Robert Anton Wilson, truly a legend amongst those geeks who love conspiracy theories. I remember reading both the Illuminatus and Schrodinger's Cat trilogy years ago and still have my copy of this epic.

Another Geek Legend Passes On...

Just wanted to mention the death of Yvonne DeCarlo on January 8, 2007. She is best known as the legendary Lily Munster on "The Munsters", which only ran for two years, but will no doubt be remembered longer than most of the drivel that's on now...
What surprised me was the revelation that she was born in Vancouver - Another Canadian to add to the list of geek idols.

Hideous Control Now...

Part 3 of the epic "Pod People"



Why does it look like an English-language movie was dubbed in English?

Huzzah!

Pod People, part 2.

Happy New Year!

For the start of the new year, a new bit 'o media. For those of you who have never heard of it, there used to be a little show called "Mystery Science Theater 3000", or MST3K for short. Anyone who loves bad movies will love this show. This is Part 1 of "Pod People", just about the funniest episode of the whole series.

Another lucky find: http://www.wallopinwebsnappers.com/
Lots of information about the production of the 1967 Spider-Man animated series straight from the voice of Spidey himself - Paul Soles.

Sing along with this!


Anyone else notice that the storefront "At the scene of a crime" is spelled 'Fine Jewlery' before he swings in , but as he swings in, it's 'Fine Jewelry'?

Because I'm in a Who-ing Mood

With much gratitude to CrackedCosmo at YouTube, I'm posting "The Three Doctors", a serial from the Jon Pertwee era, guest-starring Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell. Split into three parts, this is Episode One.

Part Two.

Sadly, as you see in Part Three, William Hartnell was too ill to participate beyond pre-taped segments. He passed away only a few weeks after filming was completed.
