Yes, on Vancouver Island, in a podunk but picturesque place that goes by the wild name of Parksville.

Happy midsummer y'all dirty animals! If you sleep tonight naked with seven different flowers under your pilow you will see your future spouse in your dreams.

...Basically doing almost any kind of pagan shit naked tonight has some sort of effect in future mariage.

That's why I play it safe and do pagan stuff naked every night.

Went to a concert last night, had a great time. Any of you crazy Swedes recognize them? Seeing them again Wednesday opening for Iron Maiden




Is it bad I find the bassist attractive not knowing what she looks like other than her eyes & hands?

Ghost!

Band members:
Papa Emeritus III

Is that Ghost with the UV500 coating, or the more recent Ghost with regular Air Cushion finish?

Don't worry, Chach. All bassists are sexy.

Kinda a big day for us here in the states, hope everyone is enjoying a tasty beverage, some grilled meat and at least plan to take in some pyrotechnic displays. Happy 4th of July.

And if you're not American, it doesn't mean you can't do the same, no worries.



When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

What a nice, happy, 4th of July greeting! That is, until you got into all that Trump bashing....

Sick closeups! I saw them on July 1 in San Bernardino, both Iron Maiden and Ghost were amazing.

Dear America.

Get your shit together and make Danger Zone the offical national anthem of your country already. That would be epic.

The Olympics would be a lot more interesting if that were the case.

Lana. Lana. Lana. LANA. LANAAAAAA!

Honestly that song is like 200 % MORE American than the Star-Spangled Banner. Oddly enough however our math shows that it is only 180 % more American than Christina Aquilera singing Star-Spangled Banner.

Great. Just great, guys. Now, that song is running through my head. Just... THANKS A LOT.

Someone PMed me today asking whether I can seriously get Bharata deck done with the given specs using the funding received. I hope I was able to explain that it is, indeed, doable and you will be seeing the product in your hands soon.

After that email conversation, I found this and so I rest my case.

Am I the only one here that has phobia of dragonflies? I do not like insects a whole lot but dragonflies completely freeze me and when one gets near I absolutely panic. Oddly enough my mom has the exact same phobia, but I didn't know she had it when I realised that I had it and vice versa.

Anyone else has this or know someone who has?

(Oh and if someone replies to this with a giant picture of a dragonfly then f*ck you too)

Ummm.
In Oz now .... we have a stamp set devoted to these colorful survivors and reminders of ancient zoological pre-history ....
But maybe you would preference the Trans-Australia Railway job ?
Australian Shipwrecks ?
First day covers, stamp packs, minisheets and maxicards ....
Yer welcome !

I think it's time to change my Sierra Madre avatar logo to Edward the Booble from the Moomins.

Who's a good little Booble? You are! One of the cutest things ever animated. To quote Bob Ross "Isn't he just the cutest little devil"

Who has two thumbs and will be going to see my New York Rangers take on the Vegas Golden Knights for their inaugural game? This guy.

Pretty darn excited, get to see my favorite team, get to see VGK during their inaugural year and of course, get a weekend in Vegas! ooooh yeaaaaah.

Only a few episodes left this season.

Jon Snow's entourage is the best boy band ever assembled.

Finished binging Defenders this morning. Was a really good show, recommend it highly.

Granted what I'm really excited for is this:

I'm on ep. 8 of Luke Cage, which went from kinda interesting to HOLY COW! in ep. 7. And, I'm on ep. 3 of Iron Fist, which is slow cooking, but I'm liking it, anyway, so far. Very much looking forward to Defenders. Definitely can't wait to see some more of Jessica Jones. Boo-ya.

Iron Fist was a slow boil the whole way through. About same pacing as Luke Cage I'd say, but writing wasn't as good IMO. Defenders was good, give it an 8/10

Yeah...I also found Iron Fist to be the worst series if compared to Daredevil, Jessica Jones or Luke Cage. I'd certain better expectations being a native of Himalayas and was looking to see the kind of treatment they'd given to the region. Was disappointed in the end.

I've started watching Defenders and it is looking good btw.

They made part 2.

A group of Squids should be called a Squad.

Finished Luke Cage and liked it. Struggling through Iron Fist (I'm stalled in the middle of episode 5), but started watching Defenders anyway. And watched it all the way through. Very good; very tight. Love the reversals that happen throughout. Some earned emotional moments, and some cool fight scenes. Very enjoyable.
