Pictures of things I take that don’t fit into any of the specific categories.

It’s Bruce Campbell in Bubbahotep…

Posted on March 31, 2012 by Steve

…or is it Kurt Russell in 3000 Miles to Graceland? Sometimes those whacky Germans behind the Playmobil lines make goofy choices on what constitutes a toy or play set. I’m pretty certain this one was aimed at the adults because … Continue reading →

I know her 15 minutes are up…

Posted on March 6, 2012 by Steve

…but I still consider her fair game since she’s on Rupert Murdoch’s payroll, sqwakking away for the Right Wing Noise Machine.

Name Steve’s Whatnot

Posted on March 4, 2012 by Steve

Muppet fans rejoice! From the ashes of FAO Schwartz going down the tubes, Toys R Us gained their exclusivity on the toy I bought Somara at the end of 2008. There’s a slight difference between ours. Somara’s Blanche (the winning … Continue reading →

Thank you artwork from Chicago

Posted on January 28, 2012 by Steve

My bitchin’ vacation to Chicago has been over for almost a month and I haven’t finished writing about it along with the side trek to Houston or Hoser visit. I promise, I will whip them out soon. My life is … Continue reading →

This product isn’t even trying to be discreet

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Steve

I couldn’t drum up the courage to pick it up to read the label on the back, see what exactly this stuff “cures.” The name made me giggle a la Beavis & Butt-head. The marketing department for this should’ve tried … Continue reading →

The Women of DC Comics

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Steve

We bought this poster a couple years ago, before the DC reboot, ergo one character is no longer in a wheelchair. Somara scored a coupon from Michael’s to get it framed, matted, etc. at a substantial discount. It still cost … Continue reading →

Demo of Austin humor

Posted on December 24, 2011 by Steve

It certainly lowers one’s irritation over the button not working at the rather hazardous intersection of Sixth and Lamar.

Angry Birds Chucks

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Steve

Another demonstration of Somara’s artistic skills and before you ask, no, she will not make anymore pairs. These above were a one-time gift for a friend of hers. I’m amazed my wife has any energy left after the annual cookie … Continue reading →

Deleted scene from The Venture Brothers?

Posted on November 12, 2011 by Steve

Fans will know the reference of Dr. Orpheus “defeating” Iggy Pop. It’s a little goofiness at Somara’s desk I found funny.

Right on Waterloo Records!

Posted on November 6, 2011 by Steve

What would make this more awesome? The clerk applying this policy to future Has Been Katy Perry who has a scalping clause in her rider (a form of contract). I also love how the postscript snuffs out the hairsplitting these … Continue reading →

Halloween truth in advertising?

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Steve

After today, all those temporary Halloween superstores close up and (to borrow an old Johnny Carson joke) will appear next year as H&R Blocks. I’ve killed some time in them this Fall while waiting to pick up my nephew or … Continue reading →

Curious George sighting!

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Steve

Definitely one of the better costume duos I’ve seen this year; a father and son I spotted at HEB. The man was amazed at how quickly I guessed. Actually, my mind was racing because my mouth almost blurted out Mr. … Continue reading →

Hang up and drive or be exterminated!

Posted on October 24, 2011 by Steve

Well, it is a Dalek, extermination will happen anyway. Spotted this in the parking lot at Pinballz. I hope the driver had better luck playing the Doctor Who machine than I do, the damned thing loses the balls through the … Continue reading →

I wish I were big

Posted on October 20, 2011 by Steve

Now installed and operating at Pinballz. I couldn’t resist using the quote on the unfortunate young lady installing it. She smiled. I followed up with, “Yeah, I bet you haven’t heard that line yet.” I was also surprised to see … Continue reading →
