OT: Puns n' COSes

I wanted to get one with Stan Lee, but the two times I tried, it was sold out. Biggest splurge I've done photo op wise was this one with the entire cast of Aliens

RIP Bill Paxton

pretty freaking cool. I take it the younger blonde is the actress who was Newt?

We got a check signed by Stan Lee once. It was imprinted, not his ACTUAL signature, but still.

(I cashed it.)

Was it asw big as the check from Big Bird?

Over all, no, BB has always been a bigger client and we had one project from them that was nearly a million dollars, but the Marvel check was still a BIG check.

Big Bird uses ACH so no sigs. He sent me a signed picture, though (real ink and personalized)

Yeah, and the white Jewish girl is Vasquez

Found some mementos from my first visit to the Music City - back in 1994.

Did all the touristy things, including the Grey Line city bus tour. I remember that because when we were driving around, there was this big hole in the ground, about a block away from the Ryman Auditorium. The driver said something about the "new Nashville Arena."

Little did I know...

TIL that in Ernest Scared Stupid, the pizzas the tree house gun throws were reused props from TMNT 2, and the troll costumes were repainted clown costumes from Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Tennessine. A mixture of moonshine and essence of bachelorette party.

PedalTavernine may be an unknown element of the element...should we have them check?

Well, it is a radioactive element...

EDIT: If anyone cares the other elements are Muscovium, Nihonium, Oganesson

Without getting into the pedantic and sciency specifics I am sure no one will care about, recent X9.3 category solar flares will make the Northern Lights visible in parts of TN and NC tonite and tomorrow.

I just had a dream that the NCAA football championship was between Tennessee and Connecticut, but UT was a huge underdog cause their team was all dumb ass, back water hillbillies who were poor as hell, who had terrible facilities and a dead beat alcoholic coach, etc while UConn were all rich snooty kids all had yachts and top of the line everything who were undefeated for like three years.

Seriously? I grew up in New England and can assure the rich snooty kids are not at UConn. Not when there are so many elite schools in the area. Yale, Harvard, Smith, Dartmouth, Boston College, etc., etc..

As a NH kid I can affirm the above also there is a level of arrogance is the first 5 weeks.

I am going to make this my voicemail message, that way no one will ever leave me a voicemail ever again

Got my photo with Stan Lee on Sunday. I also went to his Q and A session. He was a hoot!

One of my bucket list items. I'm thinking Iceland. Want to come ?

Sure!

Not to sound like too much of a homer, but as someone whose heritage is Icelandic, Iceland is definitely worth going to at least once, and I could point you in the direction of some fun tourist stuff to do there.

Whenever I point out that I'd like to go to the country with most of my heritage, I'm generally met with a lot of backhanded "Suuuuure you do" comments. My heritage is mostly Dutch and I have extended family in Amsterdam....
