I'm sorta like a lion's cage. Babe, it's time we give something new a try. Let's see about this ham.

Taking some course training on risk management, and the guy in the video says, "Every day you wake up, there is a new risk on this planet that can take your life. Every day you wake up, there is a new risk that can derail your project."
Shot from the Simpsons, the one where Krusty dies, if memory serves me correctly. Bart is lying in bed in his pajamas and holding a Krusty doll. Homer is leaning in super intensely, and is telling Bart, "Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow. Well, good night." And Bart is frowning and his eyes are huge and worried because he finally feels the grim spectre of death like never before.

Coulda used an obvious one, but I'm gonna go with a deep cut

A movie that takes place where you're from
A shot from the movie Scavenger Hunt (1979), featuring Richard Mulligan (from Empty Nest) standing in the parking lot of a strip mall in San Diego, leaning against a taxi snd looking at an envelope and eating a banana. I know this mall specifically, it's on Garnet Ave in PB, because it had our favorite pasta restaurant in the late 90s/early 2000s (it was more 90s than Italian). They'd make their own pasta fresh with different flavors, like spinach or red pepper, and then you'd pick your own sauce. So fucking good, though it's been gone for a couple decades now. RIP Lotsa Pasta. Their garlic soup was really good too, though some indigestion could happen. Anyway, even though some scenes were filmed at the Huntington Library, most of it was filmed around SD, like at Balboa Park and the zoo and shit. So, I say it takes place in SD too, so there.

BOYYYYYYYYYY!
Photo of my traveling water cup, which is covered in various stickers, but this photo is focusing on a sticker of the Tall Man from Phantasm, with a red coffin background. He's holding up one of the killer metal balls, I forget if they have a name. One of the ball's cool barbed spikes in being covered by another sticker that's a map of Alaska, but oh well

The door is right there, Dum Dum
Panel from Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos, by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Geo. Bell, and Art Simek. The Commandos are busting into a Nazi barracks, most of them sensibly use the door, Dum Dum Dugan decided to bash throught the windows for some reason and risk getting shredded. The walls of the barracks for bright red and the floor is bright yellow, because 60s coloring. Gabriel is blowing his horn because that's what he always does. He's also a black character but he's colored gray because white guys in the 60s didn't know how to color black people properly so they resorted to gray. But hey, a black army hero character in the 60s, good on you Stan

Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos is a hoot
Three panels from the Sgt. Fury and his his Howling Commandos from the last skeet, credits are the same so I'm not typing all that out again, no time for that. Anyway, the middle panel is stoll the 🤨 face, but the left panel shows him kinda calm, but Nick is getting madder and madder at Baron Strucker calling him out and in the third panel he is insane with rage. Jack Kirby is great, y'all

Apparently this was released 39 years ago today. Hey kids, wanna see all your robot friends get horrifically slaughtered? I wasn't traumatized like other kids, 9 year old me was more like "Fuck yeah violence! Cool music and animation! This is the best movie ever!" Formative for young me

My fav Doctor and companion
A panel from Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye (which is fucking great, btw. Don't know which issue but it's got that good, good Alex Milne art) of Rodimus blaming Megatron (who's an Autobot now, btw) for something and Megatron us wryly smiling and denying guilt. Cyclones and Ultra Magnus are in the background staring at something going on out the windows Another panel from MTMTE, still dont know which issue but still has that cool Alex Milne art. Megatron who is pretty tall compared to Rodimus, is telling Rodimus: "We are being chased by a planet." Rodimus is pleased by this news and says "Cool," but in the next panel he's scratching what passes for a Cybertronian eyebrow, clearly processing this new info. In the last panel Ol' Rod just can't parse this and says " Sorry, what?"

The only Rom I've ever read was IDW's attempt at rebooting it (along with Micronauts and Mask, etc., an attempt at a Hasbro comics version of the MCU but much less successful). He had a crossover miniseries with Transformers that wasn't bad, I liked the art. A Cybertronian joins the Space Knights

And two t-shirts: a big ol' green Vincent Price face, and a Skeletor face that a friend bought me, though it's a little big, so maybe it'll be a sleeping/lounging shirt
Photo of my new t-shirt that features a large green cartoony print of Vincent Price's face. He apparently signed it underneath so maybe it's a collector's item! It's photo of my other new t-shirt with Skeletor's face, you boob!

SDCC Haul: Blokees Soundwave model kit with the bat, the kittycat, Lazerbeak (fuck off, Buzzsaw), and Rumble (RBFR), and with lights and sounds! And a smaller blind box Blokees, I would've been happy with most of them, but I got alt-mode Slug (or Slag if you're nasty), which is exactly what I wanted
Photo of the box of Action Edition (whatever that is) of Blokees Soundwave, complete with Ratbat, Lazerbeak, Ravage, and Rumble. Blokees are model kits that don't transform, but I'm okay with that. I'm not sure if it's pronounced "Blowkeys" or "Blockeys." Depends on if you're English, I guess A photo of the backside of the Soundwave box, with a smaller Blokees model kit box that's a blind box, meaning I don't know what's inside it. What will it be??? Photo of the side of the Blokees blind box with alt-mode Slug in the middle, showing that that's who I got in the box, which is exactly what I wanted. Because Triceratopses are awesome! (Triceratopodes?)

Not spending a hundred bucks on it, but this sparkly Galactus is adorable. Poor little planet Earth about to get eaten...

A SDCC exclusive of an 11 inch sparkly Galactus who's holding a little planet earth. Galactus is smiling and Earth is frowning. It's freaking adorable but also costs...ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS?!

Marvel Cover of the Day

If you see this, post a Marvel cover you love
Cover of Marvel's Transformers #70, featuring--holy crap--Megatron and Ratchet are all melty and fused together, their eyes are lidless and full of terror, their mouths gaping open screaming silently. They're holding up a torn out page from a notebook with "HELP US" written in oil (their blood??). The S is also written as a backwards 2. Jesus christ this is a comic for children to sell toys?
