Vision in the Forest

More proof that one line-item in the Forest Service budget was devoted to extra-potent hallucinogens.

American Monsters

I enjoyed visiting the American Monsters site, a resource for cryptozoologists.

But I regret that when I visited Crater Lake in Oregon, its scaly inhabitant was not showing himself.

The Elves of Iceland

Maybe the Icelandic banking meltdown can be remedied with pots of elvish gold.

The Mothra Song

I think we all need a little more Mothra in our lives. I myself intend to sing this song in times of personal crisis.

Sarah Palin Zombie

Wow--it didn't take long for Sarah Palin to enter rock poster iconography, did it?

Have a zombie-rific Halloween!

Spring Heel Shoe

image
These ridiculous shoes come in many different styles at the J. Rubio website. I saw a guy wearing a pair when I was passing through an airport recently, and he looked like the dorkiest dork that ever dorked.

The verdict is still out, however, on whether wearing them will turn you into the mythic monster known as Spring-heeled Jack.

Follies of the Mad Men #34

image

image
[From Life magazine for April 24 1964.]

Who ever knew that the female mammary gland was such a writhing, squirming, contorting, Blob-like object? (Page Steve McQueen for help!) There are 1,440 minutes in a day, so the copywriters are claiming that a woman's breasts morph dramatically ten times a minute, or every six seconds. Even while sleeping?

Thank God a Maidenform bra can tame these savage glands!

Bigfoot Lawn Statue

Xmas is coming right up! Don't you know someone who would love their very own Bigfoot statue...?
