One for Judy....

Yeah....squirrel....

There is a girl in the above picture.  No really!  Oh come on guys...

I have always suspected that about the statue of Liberty...She is French after all!

You know how some optical illusions persist even after you are "on to them"?  Well the tile below the horizon is exactly the same colour as the tile above the horizon.  EXACTLY.  Yet the top tile always looks darker.  I had to, like, take it to my photoshop and do some cropping and checking.  Yes...the tiles really ARE the same colour top and bottom 

More costumes, post comic con.

One ring to rule them all.  Okay, TWO rings to rule all men.  

Now this is just cute!

The downside of super heroing. 

and the upside....
And the dark side.
And the light side.
And below, the barney side....

Of course this could NEVER be made in real life.  But it would be fun to try.

Who knew R2D2

Eeeek!  

Sens versus Habs

(just reading about the game this morning!)

 

I have never EVER seen such a display of macho bullshit.  OTOH, the habs got what was coming to them....an eventual 6 to 1 loss.

2013 nhl stanley cup playoffs - Montreal Canadien vs Ottawa Senators

So what was this all about. 

Check it out.

It seems to me that when the Montreal Canadians (the Habs) are losing, they send their second string in to get into a fight with the other teams first string.  It would be a winning strategy, IF it ever worked.

Twits.

and the Senators are double twits for falling for it.

How do I GET this job?

Research....is its...

Star Trek

To boldly go where no one has gone before...

Beam me up hottie....

Worf is NOT a Merry Man...

As usual, click on them to enlarge, but remember, once you do, you can't get back here.

Costumes

Costumes.  What with Ottawa Comic Con coming up fast, costume makers have been much on my radar.  These are a few.... Its just for fun.  Enjoy!

If you click on any of these pictures, you go to a gallery which shows them much larger, but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to get back here from the gallery.  So bookmark me now...grin!

The green lantern costumes have proved to be particularly libido peaking.

Live long and prosper.  No, look up there.  No, up here, eye contact...
Nope. not gonna happen. 

A golden statue....

I am trying to decide if this one is naughty or not.  Its pac-man...going after a ghosty...oh there it is.  Yup...its naughty.  

Now this one is just lovely.  I always liked the sixties bat-girl...gray costume, blue cape.  Seemed nicer than the black rubber fetish things that came out later.

Now who could fail to love this lilac sweetheart!

Then there are these guys!   The boxers under the green lantern tights are a nice touch....

Zoidberg? IzzatU?

Take me away to Valhalla....  prrrrrrrrr.

 So this is the kitchen in Valhalla?  Lets get cookin' then!

Hmmmm.  I don't know what to say!

Where do you get that costume?   Does it come with the stuffing?

I don't get it.  Let me study it a bit more....

And now to boldly go where no man has gone before.   Yeah right...

Purple bat girl.  

And always nice to show your team colours!

Platform 9 3/4

These pictures of of the subway station under Kings Cross railway station. 

This part of it is unused.  It must be pretty creepy. 

No doubt when you look closely, you can see platform 9 and three quarters. 

The real one of course....grin!

Just look at those marvelous girders!  And brickwork which was installed when Sherlock Holmes was in short pants!   

The arched tunnels were built when Jesse James was robbing trains.  

The Titanic was a distant far off in the future dream.

And they ran steam trains down here!

It is a steam punk paradise!

These are a fascinating glimpse of a part of the world which has been pretty much unseen since 1941. 

Dennis. Oh, Dennis

Dennis Locourriere....your voice is as smooth as Irish whiskey, and your lyrics...

Well....

You don't have Shel Silverstein to write 'em any more. 
So what is this?  A chip off old Shel's block!
Well, better than "Sylvia's Mother" and "a boy named Sue"!
