Trying to identify this missile type of Iran’s. Many similar photos, same fins and structure, but no identification. Rocketry experts, assemble.
It is difficult to use the word ‘oblivion’ in casual conversation without sounding like a ‘70s fantasy blurb.
The world may be going to shit, but this timeline includes a Lego figurine of T’Challa as Starlord, so it’s not the worst one.
Here’s FDR speaking from a train in broad daylight, probably a whistle-stop tour. He was shot at once in 1933 in Miami as president-elect, while speaking at night from a car, by a man with a handgun who fired five times but instead killed the mayor of Chicago and injured several others.
Oldies but goodies. The Two Towers not pictures because it split in half and I need to tape it.
It’s that time again. Is gas more or less than it was in the depressing future of Deus Ex?
The fourth episode of Starfleet Academy was as good as TNG’s The Measure of a Man. Also, I am not a Klingon.
My sons got cigar box kit guitars for Xmas. This is the license plate one from CB Gitty. Not a hard assemble, though you’ll need clamps. Came a Mississippi plate, but that’s not where they’re from.
The November 30, 1936 copy of LIFE that this Nazi is reading suggests that Raiders of the Lost Ark just might be… a Xmas movie.
Memphis Zoo has some crazy good Xmas lights. My apologies - I did not know you had game.
Planet Crafter does a lot with very little. I’m liking the Toxicity DLC.

Some years, the Xmas village doesn’t keep up with its tribute to Milo the cat, and there are causalities.
There’s only a small chance of being murdered by a goose, but the chance is never zero.
Found these bad boys in an estate sale, caked in rust. Couple of hours in vinegar, then oiled, and they’re shaping up. The right one has no Vise-Grip markings but it’s a monster.
Don’t often go to Nashville but I always stop here for the sheer randomness.
