A Post About Post - Its

Why were Post - Its invented? Art.  Any other uses are second - tier at best.  


















As you can see, the people in this office building created a Super Mario World level across the bottom of the windows all across their office entirely in Post - It notes. They even included a secret coin cave on the floor below.    

Now that is dedication. Other examples of Post - It note office art can be seen at Geek Chic Daily here  

Now lets see some imagination out there. Send me a picture when you've finished your art work and I'll post it here.  Good luck - and I hope you don't get caught stealing office supplies. 


Easy Winner for Top Movie of 2012

We know how much everybody loves Brad Pitt. Fresh off last year's financial and critical successes Money Ball and Happy Feet 2.   


And David Morse is a personal favorite of mine since St. Elsewhere. You can see in the St. Elsewhere cast picture from 1982 why it was a great show: Denzel Washington, Mark Harmon, David Morse, Ed Begley, Jr., Stephen Furst, and yes, that's Howie Mandel, too. Morse also played a prison guard in The Green Mile, one of my favorite films.   


So, I was excited to see that Pitt and Morse were appearing in a movie together, coming out the week before Christmas this year. Here's IMDB's synopsis of what will surely be the shoo-in for an Academy Award:  


A U.N. employee is racing against time and fate, as he travels the world trying to stop the outbreak of a deadly Zombie pandemic.   
Yes, it's World War Z, based on Max Brooks' novel World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War.  No trailers out yet, but stay tuned.  

Just one more reason (besides the Tardis Life-Size Standup Poster and the Presto 3510 FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker on my Christmas list) to be excited about Christmas this year.

Danger No More

He was big and shiny and had lots of duties on the spaceship Jupiter 2. But his major jobs were keeping Will out of trouble each week and foiling the evil plans of Dr. Zachary Smith.  

 













Bob May, the man inside the robot suit in the hit 1960s television show “Lost in Space” died in January of 2009. And Sunday, the voice of the robot (a Class M-3 Model B9, General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot, which had no given name), Dick Tufeld, passed away at the age of 85.  He was also the narrator for the series and did narration voiceover for many other productions, such as Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and The Time Tunnel, and did voice work for the 1978 animated television series Fantastic Four. He was also the main title announcer on the 1981 Mar­vel Pro­duc­tions show Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends  

But most of all, he was responsible for saying at least once each week (all together now), "Danger, Will Robinson. Danger."

Pictures - I Got Pictures

No particular order. No particular theme. Just pictures.

Shouldn't every set of steps be built like this? I for one
would do more walking if they were.




    Yay! Ian McKellan! You're doing it right!


      Those were the good old days.



           Even Imperial storm troopers have bad days.




      
                       This is just stupid.



Have to have a cat picture. Like gravity, it's the law.


    
Actually, I looked it up and under the new McCarthy SOPA rules, you have to have two.






























For the 4000th time, someone makes money going on TV to tell us the world is going to end, this time because of the Mayans. These are the same people that tell me if I don't forward their e-mail to 5 friends right now, my life will turn horribly wrong. What do these people use for brains - kitty litter? At least they know what to do on their weekends. Go find Elvis.




















The little pull-off tabs say "My God! You're right!"
