FIRE BURNS WOOD!

Battle Beasts FTW!  I have quite a nice collection!

Admin's Note: Not many people know that this toy line was originally intended as an unlicensed spin-off of Transformers. The Japanese name of the toy-line was "Beastformers", which was kinda silly cause they didn't actually transform into anything. My younger brother used to collect these, I had a few myself. They rocked.

And HERE's a great price/rarity guide for them.

I Kissed A Girl And Went To Hell?

Apparently a church in Columbus does not like Katy Perry...

Admin's Note: A gay rights group vandalized the sign shortly afterwards. I included a link in the title =)

The Church of Jediism

This will bring you at least 20 minutes of fun.  And yes, Jediism is an official religion on the UK census!

Cute Little Fan Site For All Things Nerful

I recently scored a stash of assorted Nerful anatomy and needed a handy resource to figure out who was what. Lo and behold, I found this tasty and surprisingly comprehensive little site that allowed me to work it all out!(Admin Note: See Below.)

Just in case you are are unaware (and don't worry, the lady in front of me in line at the thrift store had no idea what they were either)-

Nerfuls were a line of figures made in 1985 by Parker Brothers. Despite what might be implied, they are not made of Nerf (also owned by Parker Brothers). The majority of the figures seperated into three parts - a round, golf-ball sized head, a bowl-shaped body that would cup the head, and either hair or a hat resting on top. The charachters were known for being surprisingly diverse, despite their simplicity, and each had their own distinct personality.

A limited re-release of the line (well, technically, only 4 of them), was part of a 1989 Burger King promotion.



Admin Note (05/2010): As of this point www.nerfuls.com is down. Changed the link at the top of the article to go to an old Tripod fan site. Leaving the old link down here just in case it ever comes back.

Fundamentalist Christians Can Be Artistic Too!

This truly insane photoshop collage above is meant to be a depiction of the Rapture. Note the heaps of Procter And Gamble products (Satanic, according to uban legend), Bilderburgs (ZOMG Jewish Bankers!), and the Pope riding the seven headed beast (those wily Catholics!)... what this cat has in Photoshop ability, he definitely lacks in subtlety...

But check out the shark head with the bug eyes, and Bush dressed as a priest and Tony Blair as... a... nun?

OMGWTFBBQ?

No matter how frighteningly insane the guy who made this must be, I gotta admit it's hard to make fun of...

I'd almost be willing to call it... kinda awesome. Definitely strong A- material.

Not like this guy-



I'm pretty sure the other side of that reads "Rice Krispies". Made of fail.
