I'm a loser with avocado and sprouts in the description, but... Everything Pumpernickel? I could be converted...

O-kaaay... I see what you're saying, but here's The Thing...
The Thing. From The Fantastic Four (comic book version). Arms crossed, glowering, staring angrily out under his prominent brow.

He's giving me some JIm Croce vibes here.
Singer Jim Croce ("Time in a Bottle", "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" "Roller Derby Queen" and many more) cross-legged strumming an acoustic guitar and rocking his trademark mustache.

Gone too soon.
Malcolm Jamal Warner as Kurdy and Luke Perry as the title character in Jeremiah, in the 2002-2004 sci-fi show about a post-apocalyptic future, where a deadly virus has wiped out all but those who hadn't yet reached puberty.

Guyana Tragedy. I'd like to think our history teacher was trying to warn us against joining cults or sketchy religions, but given we didn't discuss it AT ALL, I think he just needed the time to catch up on grading papers.
Movie poster for Guyana Tragedy, the Jim Jones Story. The picture is Powers Boothe as the cult leader sitting in a chair with dark glasses. Also listed on the poster are Veronica Cartwright, Ned Beatty, Randy Quaid, and James Earl Jones. Movie rated MA 15+ for medium level violence, drug use, adult themes.

Quote this with a great TV father.
Above the image, the show title "The Courtship of Eddie's Father." On the left, Bill Bixby who play's Eddie's father. On the right, a seven-year-old Brandon Cruz who played Eddie. They lean their heads on each other, looking to camera and smiling slightly, as if to embody the opening line of the show's theme song: People, let me tell you 'bout my best friend...

A queeracle? Praise WeHo Jesus.
Kevin Lee Light, a.k.a. WeHo Jesus at LA Pride in WeHo circa 2013 or 2014. Arms outstretched to the disco balls, beardedface to the heavens, he stands alone on roller skates among a cascade of white and colored lights of the skating rink floor.

If you're looking for a great read for this long, hot, ice-melting summer ahead, I can HIGHLY recommend this one. #booksky
Cover image of "Blueprint for Revolution" by Srdja Popovic, subtitled "How to use Rice Pudding, Lego Men, and Other Nonviolent Techniques to Galvanize Communities, Overthrow Dictators, or Simply Change the World." The background is a bright yellow and under the main title there's graffiti artist Banksy's black and bright white image "Flower Thrower", depicting a man throwing a bouquet of flowers; his baseball cap is backwards, pants tucked into boots, and gaiter or neck of his shirt pulled up over his face, one hand straight out in front of him and the one with the delicate flowers bent back as if to lob them a powerful distance. To the side there is a quote attributed to Peter Gabriel: "With this wonderful book, Srdja Popovic is inspiring ordinary people facing injustice and oppression to use this toolkit to challenge their oppressors and create something much better."

Hmm. So the "well we all are going to die." defense is airtight?

The pig trough was pretty large too, but no cute plastic zoo animals. They did give you a pin if you finished it, though...
Young guy holding a wooden box with Farrell's written on the front. He's wearing an old-timey get-up: red and white checkered shirt, dark tie, vest and a (styrofoam) straw boater hat, and sports a fake handlebar moustache. his eyes and mouth are both wide open as if he's singing or utterly shocked that someone would eat this much sugar in one sitting. In the tray is a ginormous sundae with 3 stacks of ice cream scoops covered in different sauces, copious amounts of whipped cream, nuts and cherries and accompanied by slabs of bananas. round white metal button with an illustration on red of an old-timey couple leaning across the table over two small ice cream sundaes, gazing intently into each others' eyes. Over the illustration are the words I made a pig of myself at Farrell's ice cream parlour restaurants.

No, a Zoo is a 32 scoop ice cream creation served at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlours across the country until the last location closed in 2019. This Uno burger is wild, though --- maybe a safari?
A picture (with photo corners) of two Farrell's employees carrying a stretcher-like platform over their shoulders while singing. On the platform is a round pan of ice cream - 32 scoops - with whipped cream and marachino cherries and colorful toy zoo animals sticking out.

Although they do create fire-breathing guitars for rock and roll legends sometimes...
The cover of an excellent book, Look Me In The Eye - My Life With Asperger's, by John Elder Robinson wherein he tells what it was like for him growing up with asperger's. The photo under the title is a young white boy child in a plaid shirt, eyes tightly shut, lips clenched firmly together.

Resistance - it's not just for weekends anymore. Fascist terrorists shouldn't get a 5 day head start.
Adorable retro sticker of a grey tiger cat with a little pink nose and a great big blue bow around it's neck, resting on a pink manual scooter with flowers on the wheels. It's smiling and there's a black heart to the left of its head and stars to the right. Around the image is the sugary sentiment punch your local nazi.

Repost with an image of your favourite James Bond (wong answers only)
Wong.Russell Wong. A young Russell Wong attired stuuningly suave in a dark blue Tuxedo and matching bow tie, classic with matching cuff links and pocket square. His head is slighly bowed and he looks up at the viewer sternly, seductively, from his strong brow line, leaving you shaken, if not stirred.

Repost with a favorite book from childhood

It made me want to run away, live in a hollowed-out tree with a pet hawk and dine on cattails.
The cover of My Side of the Mountain by Jean George. The illustration by the author (per the cover note) shows a serious young boy drawn in ink and watercolor, like a sepia photograph. He stares determinedly off to the right, and a hawk is perched on his shoulder. The front of the homemade buckskin shirt he wears is dringed at the neck.

Post a ship that’s not star wars or star trek
Emblazoned with the name United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol, a grey-blue trash ship (from the TV show Quark) drifts through a starless space. Surprisingly, it does not look anything like a Tesla.

I would love the heck out of a series where Nomi and Amanita, with Bug in tow, fight fascism and solve crime. #Sense8
Aminita (Freema Agyeman)stands behind Nomi (Jamie Clayton) who's seated, with her hand on Nomi's shoulder. Both women are staring at something off to the left, mouths slightly open, as if in a state of alert or surprise. From the TV show Sense8.
