Wanna see a cool lamp? Yeah? Okay.

My mom said that somebody had made this lamp for her

and her husband. But I said that since I am taking

it, he must have really made it.... for ME.

 

My Mezco "Gabriella" Living Dead Doll is wearing the

cutest little "The Ghoul" Halloween costume.

 

A few more friends. Nothing uncommon,

but I don't tell them that.

And when you tire of the Grecian pool,

beachfront property is just steps away.

I've really been wanting to see this movie. I wanted to see it in

the theater but it didn't pan out. Finally the Blu-ray price went down,

so today I bought it. I'm going to watch it tonight. Tom Cruise's

personal life aside, I really like him. He makes me happy when

I watch him. Did you ever see "Knight and Day"?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

~ Later ~
I watched Oblivion. Man oh man. That was a good one. I
am not disappointed at all and I totally recommend this one.
But I would bring one or two tissues to the viewing.
You might need them.

Interesting and pretty cloud thing going on here.

I took this just a while ago.

Back in 1967 I went with my mom, her girlfriend and her girlfriend's daughter

to Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco. They wanted to see what that "Summer

of Love" thing was all about. While there we went to the Cost Plus store and

I bought this incense burner.  

Closed incense burner.

Open incense burner.

That is Dirty Harry's Mod. 29 Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum

in the foreground and what I always think about when I see my

incense burner is that this scene from Magnum Force starring Clint

Eastwood as Harry Callahan was filmed at Cost Plus in 1973. (That

might just be my record for longest sentence ever.) Harry is about

to dispatch a few bad guys from in back of a two-way mirror.

Today I have a couple of things from Knott's (not Knox) Berry

Farm in Buena Park, California. Up first is this Good Luck coin.

I have no idea when I picked it up or if they still make 'em. On the

other side of the coin are a pair of crossed single action pistols,

the letter "K" and the words "Good Luck".

Coins like this are pretty cool.

They don't seem to have them much anymore. It's kinda like the

crushed penny machines have taken over.

 

Up next I have a little burro that I am pretty sure was a Knott's

collectible. The name that was originally on the white label there

has rubbed off. Again I have no idea when I picked this up, what

year it is from or if they still make 'em. He's about 2.5 inches tall.

 

And here is the back of the burro. Why a picture of the back of

the burro and not a photo of the back of the "Good Luck" coin

you ask? Well, I am half assed like that. Get it? Half assed?

Burro? Assed? Heh heh...  That's right, I went there!

Oh Tex, you are a card.

"Yo quiero Taco Bell!"

And if you squeeze him he says that.

~ Rest In Peace ~

Back in about 1980 I bought the first of these two skulls at the Main

Street Magic Shop in Disneyland. I bought the second one a year or

two later. They were $10.00 each. I have since learned that these

skulls have a history.

They were created by a company that made souvenirs for

Disneyland. Randy and Dotti Smith's company was called

Randotti and these are known as Randotti Skulls. I understand

they are somewhat collectible and not totally easy to come by.

Oh, they glow in the dark too and are really heavy. In a pinch

could be used as cannon balls.

 

This is Dalton's Roadhouse. It was a pretty good eatin' place.

Great burgers and salted peanuts in the shell. But I say

was a great place because...

...it's now under construction. Gonna be HOOTERS.

Thrilled... I'm sure.

(And the world's heart sighs.)

That's Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please.

A paperweight I bought some years ago at a

video store in the mall. Although in my much humbled

opinion, Captain Sparrow is quite above the "keeping

parchment in place" job.

These are just little Star Wars things I have. I don't know who

makes 'em or anything. Just a little Storm Trooper helmet of

sorts and a C3PO head.

Just snapped it while cruising.

I didn't even know that the Carrie remake was out on Blu-ray. But

it was and I bought it. And not for $31,99. I never would've paid

that. I also bought Smash Cut on Blu. I've seen this movie on the

shelves for a couple of years but they usually charge like $16.00 for it.

No way. But today? $3.00. Huzzah! It's probably not good.

I am a Lethal Weapon FREAK. I found parts 1 through

4 on Blu-ray, and with my $5 rewards coupon, I paid $9.99.

To me, a great deal. I love me some Martin Riggs.

It's just that I've never seen anything like that, on a table,

in a restaurant, with so many people around.

Break break 19! How 'bout ya, Good Buddy? Ya got yer ears on?!
I know, corny... But citizens band radios were a lot of fun back in the
day. Used to be you needed a license to transmit, but not anymore.
And because of that everybody and their brothers jam the airwaves
with so much hash and trash it's hardly worth it anymore.

And footwarmers? Don't get me started.

Now, if'n y’all will excuse me I'm 10-100. 10-4?

For some reason and I do not know why, I was compelled

to watch the football game today between San Diego and

Denver. First game I have watched in many years. It was

pretty good and... no spoilers here.

All I can imagine is that at some point in time this tree

thought, "Oh man... That reeeeaaally smarts."
