Belated Xmas card from the Eighties

Posted on December 27, 2019 by Steve

Pretty good PhotoShop work…way better than mine but the lighting is a tad off when you compare all three of their skin tones. It’s also odd that they didn’t go with the more neutral, universal “Holiday Wishes” given that the … Continue reading →

Star Wars “fixes” an old Christmas song

Posted on December 24, 2019 by Steve

Just in time to celebrate The Rise of Skywalker, a new friend I made online shared this goofy take on the song people are getting their underpants in a knot over. Last time I checked the lyrics, the male voice isn’t … Continue reading →

LEGO Steve & Kathy attended Rise of Skywalker in costume

Posted on December 20, 2019 by Steve

They chose to go with characters from the hit Disney+ show The Mandolorian. Obviously Kathy is the star character while Steve is Cara Dune, a former Rebel soldier and turned ally to the star. Thanks to a special Hidden Side figure, I … Continue reading →

Halloween 2019: the LEGO® avatars and guests!

Posted on October 31, 2019 by Steve

I went with Where’s My Pants‽ Guy. Co-Worker/Friend Holly is Elvira. This year’s guests are a couple bootlegs I scored this Summer: Spider-Ham and The Mask. Then there’s a possessed waitress from LEGO’s new The Hidden Side sets and Captain Phasma … Continue reading →

Funny, Chinese knockoff LEGO® Star Wars® set and gift

Posted on October 3, 2019 by Steve

A friend at work who knew how much I love LEGOs scored this hilarious Chinese knockoff as a prize to give me. As the picture above shows, I don’t think the pirates behind it were even trying! I’m guessing they’re … Continue reading →

Rather obvious which brand of vehicle this was on.

A shirt of my favorite Twi’lek Rebel Pilot!

Posted on July 18, 2019 by Steve

Hera Syndulla is a favorite character of mine from Star Wars: Rebels and a shirt featuring her was on that recent purchase spree. Besides, she’s just cool. Hera is a great pilot on par with Han Solo and her ship The Ghost had a … Continue reading →

Jyn Erso fan design

Posted on July 15, 2019 by Steve

Another damned TeePublic sale sucked me in! Originally, the plan was to score a couple gifts to ship to Dan Telfer to cheer him up from his lay-off at MAD and he’s also an inspiring DM on Nerd Poker. Then I got … Continue reading →

Welcome to June, Greedo ordered first!

Posted on June 1, 2019 by Steve

I decided to go with a joke picture I found on the Internet adding to the big stink that happened on Game of Thrones, an HBO water-cooler conversation maker I have never seen. I’m not against it, I just have way … Continue reading →

Force Awakens meets Duran Duran

Posted on May 7, 2019 by Steve

My favorite Duran Duran album mashed up with the cool, newer character from the Star Wars saga. The minimal of colors and porcelain skin applied to Rey via the Nagel style works pretty well.

RIP: Peter Mayhew

Posted on May 2, 2019 by Steve

What makes Peter’s passing even sadder was that he was scheduled as a guest for Austin’s upcoming comic book convention; he had spent his final years living in Texas because he married an American lady. Unlike David Prowse (the other … Continue reading →

New Futurama theme for GWD tournament in June

Posted on January 14, 2019 by Steve

Darth Bender! Drunk Lord of the Sith! I couldn’t resist this mash-up since the artist really did a great job integrating Bender’s distinctive look/shape into Darth Vader’s armor. As for the nerd nitpicking, Bender would only need to hold his … Continue reading →

Star Wars: Ahsoka by E. K. Johnston

Posted on January 1, 2019 by Steve

When Ahsoka Tano made her debut in Clone Wars (both the movie and series) I will readily admit that I found the character precious and annoying. Star Wars was once again drowning the franchise in saccharine-covered dialog with a kid-friendly padawan. Maybe the … Continue reading →

Meet (Duchess) Satine

Posted on December 25, 2018 by Steve

Just as Nature abhors a vacuum, whenever one stray cat is removed (usually adopted), another takes up the vacancy. Over the years, various cats have used our back porch to sun themselves or as an impromptu shelter, especially during the … Continue reading →

RIP Gary Kurtz

Posted on September 28, 2018 by Steve

This Sunday the one man who could tell George Lucas no and make Star Wars better passed over last weekend. I can only imagine how much stronger the stories could’ve been with Episodes I, II, III and VI. However, he bailed … Continue reading →
