Guy designs handbags using brass knuckles and shaped like submachine guns. He he then gives them to hot chicks wearing Stahlhelm or prancing around in old Russian subs.
Nice!
Might not be safe for work depending where you work. No nudity.
Thundarr the Barbarian:
Comic book writer-artist Jack Kirby worked on the production design for the show. While many people believe that Kirby was the primary designer of the show (mainly due to his similarly themed Kamandi: The Last Boy On Earth), the main characters were in fact designed by fellow comic book writer-artist Alex Toth, who [...]
Here’s one for the QM:
But before the action could commence, the panel addressed recent announcements by “Lost” Director JJ Abrams and crew concerning the developing Star Trek prequel movie. Dispelling the false rumor that Matt Damon would star as James T. Kirk, Abrams earlier confirmed as true the rumor that 30 year old Zachary Quinto, [...]
I haven’t got around to buying Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s book yet, but this is a nice article. Since the AEI’s site seems to be down, I thought I’d scoop it up from Google’s cache and temporarily reproduce it here:

IT’S BAD TO BRING A KNIFE TO A GUNFIGHT. It’s worse to bring a soda can:
An elderly man beaten unconscious by an assailant wielding a soda can awoke and shot the man during an attempted robbery, police said.
Willie Lee Hill, 93, told police he saw the robber while in his bedroom Wednesday night. Hill confronted [...]
From some filter-defeating prose in a piece of spam:
They’d hired Aaron Pursley, for starters, and of course Rydell knew who he was from the show.
Cops in Trouble!
Which reminds me – Spook Country should be out in a week or two.
Do they only come in black? I mean, how’s an Israeli teen supposed to accessorize?
(subject line – beep beep!)
Thoughts on Ward Churchill’s firing, from the former president of FIRE:
An under-qualified, arguably fake Native American with a long history of not just plagiarism and other forms of academic fraud, but also a disturbing tendency to threaten and intimidate his critics, it turned out that Churchill was the kind of person who could only exist [...]
So, the other day I was talking to some folks who mentioned they didn’t particularly want to go to any comic conventions (I’m being deliberately vague here). For the life of me, I can’t understand why:
On Wednesday, the San Diego International Comic Con starts. Expect announcements of projects, exclusives, signing and deals all over the [...]
Paul Pope dreams:
Dreamt I was sitting at a place called Deacon Brodie’s waiting for a friend who goes there a lot and I felt really happy. It was a nice evening, the sun was setting, 46th street in the summertime.
My phone buzzes–I have a text msg. I open the flap to read this.
In the [...]
The Times of London did some amazing investigative journalism. They called ticket agents in three countries, and none of them new that BA had a carbon offset program (at additional cost). Their conclusion: BA is afraid that if people knew the real environmental impact of flying they would fly less, hurting BA’s [...]
What an asshole:
SUNAPEE, N.H. – Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday the United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn’t a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.
“Well, look, if that’s the criteria by which we are making decisions on the deployment [...]
The Third Battle of Ypres:
Never seen before, these astonishing photographs, lovingly hand-touched in colour to bring to life the nightmare of Passchendaele, were released this week to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the battle that, between July and November 1917, claimed a staggering 2,121 lives a day and in total some quarter of a million [...]
I recently read Mike Carey’s first novel – I thought it was pretty good, despite being a bit difficult to slog though for having been more richly imagined and described than anything I’ve ever read, and I’m thinking I’ll snag his next one from Amazon UK rather than wait for it to be released here. [...]
Cincinatti has seven miles of unfinished subway, abandoned in the 1920s. Man, that’s even weirder than Soviet sub bases and Swiss bunkers. Too many more architectural oddities and I’m going to have to make a new category.
It’s been too long since I’ve posted about any “pixie jailbait” art, so: definitely go read Perils of the Uncommon Skyway.
Via Instapundit, a fashionable TASER, delivered right to your door! Better-looking than the iPhone, and probably more fun to use… But alas, the fact that
In field uses by law enforcement against dangerous suspects, TASER technology has among the lowest injury rates of any force option.
makes no difference to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which cares more [...]
The GF, overheard talking to the TV:
Pull up your pants, you fucking douchebag!
C’mon all you Kids These Days™ – stop pissing her off.
