Halloween House 2011
Remember how when you were a kid and you went trick-or-treating, that you’d always know which houses had the best candy? Well, don’t you imagine that this house has the best treats?

Walt Disney’s Sin City
It’s been a while since we’ve had a good mash-up. So without further delay, I give you, Walt Disney’s Sin City.
Hey Moe! Moe 3 Stooges Are Coming!
I’m a fan of The Three Stooges. [And since you’ve asked my favorites are Curly, Shemp, Moe and Larry, in that order.] On April 4, 2012, the Farrelly brothers‘ movie which takes the Three Stooges characters into new adventures opens.
While it’s an interesting idea, I wonder if it’ll work. Do I hope it’s a success? Why, certainly. Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.
Moon Return: Forms, Zombies and Memories
Did you know that when the first men to land on the moon returned to Earth that they completed a report for customs? That’s right, NASA astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins completed a customs form upon their return. A spokesman for NASA has confirmed the authenticity of the document and you can see a full-moonsized version at Space.com.
I was ten years old when we first landed on the moon. I can remember watching black and white images beamed to us from 240,000 miles away as all of the adults in the room and Walter Cronkite on the tube got giddy. It was is pretty cool stuff.
We were on the moon! How long w0uld it be until we had flying cars like Nick Fury? How long until astronauts were going to Mars and beyond? Perhaps even a five year mission to go where no man had gone before was in order.
But getting back to the custom’s report, I never knew about it before a few days ago. I do remember that when Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins returned to Earth that they had to wear special biological containment suits and were kept in quarantine for three weeks to be sure that they didn’t bring back a virus or germ that could start a zombie-apocalypse.
Ok. I made up the zombie-apocalypse part, but the astronauts were kept in quarantine and did have to wear the biological containment suits. Even at ten years old, I remember thinking that the end of the human race would be like a cool episode of The Twilight Zone if the astronauts accidentally brought back a virus or germ that killed us all.
Think about it, our greatest human triumph leads to our extinction. Now that would be a cool episode for The Twilight Zone, except it really wouldn’t be so cool in real life, would it?
Halloween Silhouettes
Halloween is nearly here. If you’re into scary/fun decorations then you might want to make Halloween silhouettes for your windows. Trick or Treaters will love to see what appear to be witches, zombies, the Grim Reaper and other scary folks in your windows!

100 All Time Best Comedies
Recently TimeOut.com posted their choices for the 100 Best Comedies of All Time. Using just their list, here is my top ten…
- Airplane: The only other movie that made me laugh so hard was Richard Pryor Live… and why didn’t it make the 100 Best list?
- Blazing Saddles: At the time it was one of the craziest movies I had ever seen. Mel Brooks‘ masterpiece.
- Dr. Strangelove: One of my favorite movies. It’s not an all-out laugh fest like the first two because of the subject matter. A masterpiece.
- Arsenic and Old Lace: My favorite Cary Grant movie. I can watch this one anytime.
- Planes, Trains and Automobiles: I was surprised at how good this movie was. A comedy with heart and real LOLs.
- National Lampoon’s Vacation: Probably gets bonus points because I have so many fond memories of watching it with my ex-brother in law. I actually like Christmas Vacation better, but it didn’t make the list!
- Raising Arizona: Nick Cage’s funniest intentionally funny movie.
- The Pink Panther Strikes Again: I saw it in a theater back in high school and although it’s not as funny as I remembered it to be, my memories of it are good enough to get it into the top ten.
- The Princess Bride: A classic fairy tale that happens to be pretty dog-gone funny.
Tom Selleck’s Mustache
Sometimes silly is funny.
With that in mind I give you, Richard Sandling’s perfect movie: Tom Selleck’s Mustache.
How Captain America Should Have Ended
This little animated video of How Captain America Should Have Ended is a hoot. Stick around after the credits for another laugh. “Fence of Fire – Fence of Fire!”
Creepy Celebrity Masks
The Huffington Post recently did a piece on The Creepiest Celebrity Masks of All Time. Of the 42 shown, my favorites are The Three Stooges. Of course since the article is about creepy masks, perhaps I should have picked the ones of Prince Charles, Linda Tripp, Al Gore, George Bush Jr., Dick Cheney, or David Letterman. They were by far the creepier.
Skulls…Skulls…Skulls and Yes, More Skulls
Skulls are in. Skull tats. Skull bandanas. Skull motorcycle paintings. Skull t-shirts. So why not design a skull using your face as the model? It probably won’t be as creepy as mine, but then again… who knows?
Fake Shemps
We probably all know a “Fake Shemp” when we see one, but did you know that there’s an actual term “fake Shemp” and that it was created by Sam Raimi during the filming of The Evil Dead?
Oh, the things, the important things that you can learn by swinging by here.
