What an emotional Gold Medal game. Them breaking out Gaudreau’s jersey was the tipping point. I only have so many tissues in my house.
And the entire place(well, half of them) singing the Star Spangled Banner? Whoa.

Tom Noonan, veteran character actor from movies like Robocop 2, Last Action Hero, Manhunter, and Heat. 74. Fuck cancer.

Eric Dane. Multiple Man in X-Men 3 and several decades worth of Grey’s Anatomy. 53. Fuck ALS.

Rondale Moore. NFL Wide Receiver. He was only 25. Fuck depression.

The old west sets always seem to do well in the voting. Why doesn't Lego just bring them back? I’m only guessing. Lego’s mainstream mass produced sets geared to kids and playability usually have less bricks and ‘accurate’ representations. Relying on facade builds. I’d say kids these days don’t give...

Oh man, I went to look at the Windcharger figure and immediately fell into the trap that is TFwiki. Going deeper and deeper down the rabbit’s hole until I came across the page for the nation of Carbombya and fucking fell out of my chair laughing.

Aaaaand... that may have been the gayest show I've ever seen. Not saying that in a derogatory sense. I think about 75% of the main characters were explicitly into the same gender. I'm sure the finale fucking pissed off a lot of homophobes. I was mildly annoyed for a different reason altogether ( ab...

My missing bricks finally showed up, and I still managed to miss one for reorder. Bleh.

But these two bad boys showed up yesterday.

This one’s in the ‘Or thought you did!’ half of the topic. There was a two issue Prestige series Birds of Prey/Catwoman from 2003. The first issue was a “flashback” where Catwoman faced off/teamed up with Batgirl, and the second issue was in the present where Catwoman teams up with Oracle. Thought I...

Rev. Jesse Jackson, who apparently just wanted to say he outlived that cracker Bob Duvall. 84. Declining health from Palsy.

Pre-ordered/Crowdfunded the Privateer Frigate Fortuna and the Sushi Restaurant sets from BDP series 7.
They won’t show up until late summer.

Robert Duvall. Legendary actor from THX-1138, the Godfather(s), Apocalypse Now, The Natural, Days of Thunder, Falling Down, and my favorite performance of his Lonesome Dove. He was 95.

Vaya con dios, Gus McCrae.

2/11’s books. Absolute Wonder Woman Annual 1. Having used Medusa’s powers to defeat the leviathan in the first arc, Diana realizes the burden of Medusa’s curse and beseeches Athena to allow Diana to try and lift the curse. But she must do so without her powers. Amazing Spider-Man:Torn 5. Batman &...

I customized a Billy a verrrry long time ago. I took the lower half of a B.A.T. leg and put it on an extra Stormshadow I had, then I glued a very small piece of black construction paper over his eye.

Bricklink Design Program Series 10 is open for voting. Everyone head over and pick your favorites! You don’t have to vote on every single set(there’s almost 600 this time around) but you might see a cool idea that wouldn’t otherwise ever get made. And every “Love it” helps.

A new wave of Silent Issues are coming out in April. This time, they’re starring Cobra; Baroness, Zartan, Copperhead, Firefly, and the Crimson Guard are getting oneshots.

Was picking up a prescription at WM today and saw the Speed Champions BTTF DeLorean. So I had to get it.
