Getting my M.Div in Food Science, thesis on the "Transubstantiation of Mountain Dew and Higher Orders of Caffeine Chain of Being." Will cop to knowing cop stuff. Better to be remembered as a sharp lover of sandwiches than a slick merchant of hate.

Probable cause for the search warrant served in my toy shelf.

Odyoana? Moanyssey? I guess we're not doing that this year.

Movie Poster for The Odyssey where a live action Marvin the Martian moves in for the kill after somehow using equine resources to War of the Worlds ambush the world and bathe it in fire.

The live action and cgi heroes of Moana stand on a cgi set.

This happened last night. It was a good time, as you have when in a room full of good people.

A screen with "Chuck Tingle," in one of those gothic metal fonts I often have trouble reading but deciphered this one pretty quickly with minimal eye pounding since it was a Chuck Tingle event, a cool sword used as the "T" pulling focus on the whole graphic, projected on a screen in what could be a church like setting, but is actually what was a church like setting but now a sort of meeting and presentation space in a internet preservation setting.

A World's Greatest Author, Chuck Tingle, trots the stage of what could be a church like setting, what actually was a church like setting but is in fact a meeting or presentation setting in what is now a internet presentation space, with a screen reading "ADD A LITTLE MORE LOVE" imposed over a swirling cosmic background.

I guess I'm gonna have my G1 Transformers credentials questioned. Admittedly I'm more into the broader mythology than specific characters, but I have no idea who most of these guys are, even goofed and false ID'd a couple. www.hasbropulse.com/product/tran...

I guess taking a group photo on some plains before hiking the Rockies, orange, yellow, green, and blue Decepticon seekers, one of each color, stands before the Mountain Range. Pretty sure the green one is Acid Storm, the blue one is NOT Skywarp or Thundercracker, this lot apparently is all after some D&D elemental damage storm theme, besides Acidstorm, I guess there Ionstorm, Sunstorm, and Novastorm, seems all of them but the orange dude is properly flexing their knees for hiking. Orange knee lock guy is going to eventually be a trail liability with an itb band injury or something you can see coming from a mile away

Been a long time (a long time) since I've done a proper series rewatch of it, but, huh, that episode of The Prisoner, "The General" was pretty prescient.

Still from The Prisoner episode "The General" a 1960s supercomputer setting, with reel to reel tapes and card ports etc billows smoke as a man in red lays on a ramp leading to it, a man in black falls and a man in black wearing a top hat tries to advance over the fallen people.

I saw my friend Mitch McConnell last night, punching myself past the scarlet tiers of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority, I saw him, tiny, impossible, standing at the very edge of one of the vast steps of data. Small as he was, I could. Somewhere, very close, the laugh that wasn't laughter.

black and white rendering of a woman's face, eyes all whites, I think a cover image to Mona Lisa Overdrive but online says its a portrait of Molly from Neuromancer, who also shows in Mona Lisa Overdrive but figured the image was someone else.

1.) Favourites, or favorites even, are hard for me. What I will do is name the character who moved me with wonder, about Star Wars in ways Star Wars hadn't been moved in a long time, a long time. Lola, as voiced by Ursula Corbero for El Guiri Studios' contribution to Star Wars Visions S2, "Sith" 1/

A still from El Guiri Studios's contribution to S2 of Star Wars Visions, "Sith" depicting the character Lola, a woman with black hair a streak of white, white shirt, dark metalic cybernetic arm, brown breeches and black boots, petting a spider like droid in what looks like Star Wars starship interior given the some black and orange/purple paint accents by an artist wanting to leave her mark.

Since I just relapsed into my Star Wars nerdery, sure I'll see if anyone wants to run me throught this, honestly, I don't know what some of the fandom acronyms mean, and there's one pair where I'm not sure what the distinction is, but if you want to punch it like Chewie, here we go.

I respect your departure, though in a manner touched with the sentiment of those who disembarked the Imperial shuttle upon locating you in the Cotswolds, as the folliage reflects below:

Imperial Research Director Orson Krennic, played by Ben Mendelsohn, in white uniform in tunic, flanked by a half dozen Imperial Death Troopers in black armor locate Ken in the Cotswolds, where Krennic can not help to remark in text, "BEEHIIIVING, REALLY? A MAN OF YOUR TALENTS?"

Closest FLGS had what I was looking for this Free RPG Day, Fossilized Violence, so gave some love back picking up a few other things that had been on my radar for a bit. Perhaps Outgunned will become the vehicle for Big Assed Green Triangle (IUKUK).

R Talsorian Quick Start for Fossilized Violence by James Hutt. Depicting either a Allosaur if not T Rex (I don't know the minutia among these guys yet) one of those big legged, small armed giant jaw guys whose snout and jaw is painted in gore.

The pondering in Samuel Beckett's Watt that ends, "But do such fish exist? Yes, such fish exist, now" would break so many fandoms' brains.

While either Mayhew or Suotamo stands overwatch in a Chewbacca costume on a tundra biome planet backdrop, a grilzzled Harrision Ford in parka sneers at John Boyega in Oscar Isaac's jacket, in this still from Star Wars The Force Awakes, with the meme text reading THAT'S NOT HOW THE FORCE WORKS UNTIL A WRITER SAYS IT DOES.

Coincidentally, the day before you dropped this vid, I discovered this sitting in one of my LFGSs on a browsing trip, er survey mission. It's system agnostic and scans fun, one of those so many tables to add details for random ships passing in the void moments.

Cover to Stations Press's An Infinity of Ships, literal table book of starship tables and templates and agnostic star faring inspiration.

Saw a poster at the theater Friday and yeah, same. Poster is more epic though

Poster for Super Troopers 3, featureing the cast, most in patrol uniforms but some suits and dresses atop the heads of a giant eagle and cobra apparently about to do battle.

Been a minute since dunked a donut, but what better way to experience the gas station version of a In Search of Lost Time macaron moment, then dinking with my Delta Green coffee mug.

When I first got the translation I was amazed how much it captured the look of the Arc Dream books, perfect to memory, so when I put them and the source text side by side 1 SAN, and have acquired an absurd amount of measuring tools for learning the kerning that made my mind's kernel pop.

Pirates vs Vikings dragon rider birthday party, you say? The real winner of such contests lurk in the shadows setting up the coffee station, infiltrating the adults by currying caffeine favors, thereby avoiding Dad injuries from capture the flag. Play the long game.

I mean, the tools were all the rage a week ago.

A mock up a Star Trek the Animated Series title card reading "Niche-Case SFB KNOWLEDGE IS A GROWTH INDUSTRY, THOUGH" with the credit "Written by Richard H Moon" The text overlays a starscape with a dark aqua colored world pocked with craters

Lol, I'm blaming the depicted dark passenger entering my blood stream for that gaff. Honestly don't know why I typed that other than my brain was like "yeah even had a Everyman name that you wouldn't expect would present an imagination like that...". I need to read The Killer Inside Me by INXS again

Cover image purporting to be an issue one, possibly one shot of the g.i. Joe universe comic Cold Slither (a hair metal band made up of the original Dreadnoka, Buzzer, Ripper, and Torch, with Zartan as frontman), caption reads COLD SLITHER HAS PULLED OUT OF THE FREEDOM 250 CELEBRATION CONCERT

My favorite TIE design iteration is the Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor, I saw what they were doing there.

At Kubla Con one final stately hotel drink was decreed.

Stuck to the New Fashioned, I don't know if having it a second time makes it an old or elder fashion. Probably a familiar fashion at this point. But yes, a big rock with a good poor of bourbon with lemon peel and allegedly sauced cherry with a stick stuck in it.

An image derived from the format of a Star Trek the Animated Series title screen, generated through @bean525.bsky.social 's Star Trek Title Card generators, depicting a background starscape with a blue-green crater marked planetoid looming in the lower right quadart, with yellow caps text aligned with the left of the scene reading "The Wrath of Kubla Con" which just seemed like a fun bit to put after two posts regarding drinks at the Kubla Con game convention riffing off Coleridge's line, especially since the English major reflex to properly write "Kubla Khan" in the first post could possibly invoke mock wrath amongst attendees, plus two generous drinks over two days could incur a different sort of wrath, though in actuality I am fine, I assert as sip at a imperial pint of cold brew listeing to Johnny Cash's "Sunday Monring Coming Down" as Dangerous Dan traditionally opens his KFJC radio show of the same name.

At Kubla CON another stately hotel drink was decreed.

A big rock in a this time New Fashioned, where they made an old fashioned similar to the last but without the maple syrup and this was more balanced drink. Turned out on the last one the maple syrup had sunk to the bottom, which happens with syrups especially at a hotel bar dealing with a higher volume because of conventions etc. But this one was well executed.

At Kubla Khan a stately hotel drink was decreed.

A big rock sits in a Maple Old fashioned that I think they forgot the maple this is like a straight poor of Makers with a cherry doing a Mafia movie style pool float with a head wound seep thing. It's good but a bit more noir hard boiled than I expected

In this still from Star Wars The Force Awakens, against some frozen tundra like backdrop while either Mayhew or Suotamo in Chewbacca costume provides overwatch, Harrison Ford as a grizzled Han Solo scowls at John Boyega's Finn, caption reading "THAT'S NOT HOW A HONEYPOT WORKS / EVEN IN THIS WEIRD AGE WHERE WE'RE DRIZZLING "HOT HONEY" ON PIZZA AND WINGS"

Didn't get to this on May 4 pile because of illness I'm almost cleared of, and then finally cleared for beer. Almost done but line that's sat the most with me is Tarkin introduced as "a thin, hatchet-faced man with hair and form borrowed from an old broom and the expression of a quiescent piranha."

Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction, deciding to stay and go on a mission of righteous vengeance and rescue, after considering the pawn shop's hammer, then the baseball bat under the counter, then a shelf of chainsaws, finally passes his search roll and looks up. That gleam of revelation. That's acting.

A very bloodied and bloodied white t-shirted Bruce Willis stands behind a pawn shop counter and looks up in a moment of perfect clarity as a katana literally dawns upon his field of vision in this still from Pulp Fiction. Shot from the perspective of the katana stand on the wall.
