A target in the colors of the Swedish flag
Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills. Imagine if someone wanted to make Power Rangers but only had castoff singlets from American Gladiators and some spray paint for costumes and their budget was “we will drive you to lunch after filming.”
Paul F Tompkins as David Hoyle Jr, a “midnight louse,” from an episode of Very Important People. He is a human-sized blue caterpillar/worm/maggot creature with a thick coat of slime.
Oglethorpe, an orange spiky blob-alien from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, yells at someone not to question the mighty Orbnauticus. In the show it’s just a disco ball, which makes about as much sense as the other thing.
Richard Harrison with the infamous Garfield phone from Ninja Terminator, shortly before he tells the film’s villain to go to hell
A poster of the Smurfs from the 2025 Smurfs movie, the one with Rhiana.
Cyberpunk 2077 logo meme: “The not-too-distant future, Next Sunday, AD”
A still from the MST3K episode BOGGY CREEK 2: THE LEGEND CONTINUES, featuring the oafish and menacing character of Old Man Crenshaw. He’s a big, filthy, portly man with a long unkempt beard, overalls with only one strap fastened, no shirt, and an inexplicable rubber band around his forehead. The last third of the movie is about a group of researchers trying to rescue a baby Bigfoot from Old Man Crenshaw’s closet.
Captain Pooky: America also has beaches … several in fact … A marvelous moth: No it doesn’t, also fuck off, and fuck you; and fuck your shithole no-beach country full of dollars white disphits
Dune logo font meme: “Not the one with Sting, but people seem to like it anyway.”
Dune font meme: “He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy”

The creepy puppets from Genesis’s LAND OF CONFUSION music video.
The Super Mario Bros. super show intro, with the words changed to “You want to know? I’ll tell you! A toon killed my brother!” Bob Hoskins played Mario in the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie, as well as Eddie Valliant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, where the quote is from.
A photo of thick, plastic spiral binding combs, the kind that cut the paper as you turn each page and are so thin and brittle they risk breaking if you read the book more than once. Combine this with low-quality paper, and you’ve got yourself an RPG core book that will be falling apart within a month.
My foot resting against the flat top of a “Kick the Cheat” plushie.
No springs, the catchphrase of Coily the Spring Sprite, in the style of Twin Peaks
Watch out for snakes, from the MST3K episode “Eegah,” in the style of the Twin Peaks logo
Hedorah, the smog monster
Keep circulating the tapes. This was the motto at the end of every MST3K episode.

A picture of the Ice Cream Bunny from the film “Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny.” Imagine a filthy, ill-fitting white rabbit costume with extra fur glued onto the cheeks and you’re mostly there. In this image the ice cream bunny is winking at a small child. As creepy as it looks, this is the Ice Cream Bunny at his least menacing. At other times in the movie, he drives an old, dilapidated fire truck over rough, uneven ground near a beach in Florida, and I would not be surprised to learn he ran someone over doing that because there’s no way he could see or steer that thing.
Photo of Irving Finkel, a historian at the British Museum. Dude is an old white man with an outrageously bushy white beard and enormous eyebrows. In the photo he is holding some ancient Mesopotamian tablet or other.
A drawing of comic strip characters Nancy and Sluggo on a futuristic motorcycle reminiscent of Kaneda’s in Akira.
A “Kick the Cheat” doll from Homestar Runner, leaning against a chair and wearing my kid’s pajama pants.
A white-on-black t-shirt from Dowdy Studio in Dallas, showing an anthropomorphic donut styling its hair.
Poster showing a robot cop with a gun, against a postapocalyptic background. Top text reads “Judge. Jury. Executioner.” Title of the film: “R.O.T.O.R.”
Jonathan Harris as Doctor Smith from Lost In Space (1965).
“Florence Craye ran her Powered by the Apocalypse homebrew the other night, Jeeves. Have you played PbtA, Jeeves?” “I have not yet had the pleasure, sir.” “Nor have I, Jeeves. Not a twenty-sider to be had. One would think dice technology hadn’t advanced since the days of Parker Brothers.” I took a harrowed sip of my energy drink. “I tried to roll initiative and was called an ‘incurable gamist.’” “Most distressing, sir.” “Give Bertram Wooster dungeons, Jeeves. Give him dragons. Give him dice by the handful. I’m a simple man, Jeeves.” “Yes, sir.”
Jabberjaw and the Neptunes, specifically the 2001 reimagining of them as a Ska Band when Toonami was doing that kind of thing. Left to right in the front row: Shelly, a woman in jeans and a tank top, playing bass and doing a high kick. Clamhead, a man in jean shorts a green t-shirt, kneeling and playing the trumpet. Biff, a man in tan chinos and a blue polo shirt, singing lead vocals and playing guitar. Bubbles, a woman in a poodle skirt playing the keyboard. In the back row is Jabberjaw himself, a great white shark with a soul patch and nose ring. He’s the drummer. I swear this thing is real.

The Galaxy Trio, from the old Hannah-Barbera cartoon. Left to right: Vapor Man (a green-and-blue alien who can turn into clouds), Gravity Girl (a red-headed white woman in a purple jumpsuit, who can turn gravity on or off), Meteor Man (a brown-skinned alien with pointy elf ears who is just kinda big).
Adult actor playing a red-headed child with drawn-on freckles in an in-fiction telenovela from Arrested Development. It looks for all the world like they just took the wig from this for Nathan Filion to wear in the Superman movie.
A cheap “headquarters hidden within a cave” set, with a large, pink, pulsating slime-creature that prominently featured. This was Nimbar, the sassy “legally not Zordon” of the series Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills. Voiced by Glen Shadix (who was in so many Tim Burton movies), Nimbar was a tired, lazy, sassy, camp character who held the main characters in quiet contempt. He was the best part of the show.
Promotional image for “Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills,” prominently featuring four American Gladiators-style wrestlers in cheap spandex and ill-fitting masks.
Jabba the Hutt reclining in his gross slime chair
Image of a scam Bluesky account called maviswanckzy01.bsky.social. The profile text reads, “I just won a lottery of a huge amount so I’m willing to give out $30,000 to my first 1k followers due the covid 19 Pandemic ..JUST DM ‘MAVIS I FOLLOWED.’” I have blurred out the face associated with the profile since I have no idea who it is and am certain the scammers didn’t get that person’s permission.
My cat, rolling around on the carpet, swatting at me with her paws.
The Lexx, from the eponymous series. You could never really tell if it was supposed to be a dragonfly or a dick and balls or both.
A British pensioner whose bland sandwiches gained him unexpected fame in China has died. Keith Brown, a retired engineer known on Chinese social media as “Old Dry Keith", became a hit when his Chinese wife Zhang Jian began to post videos of him assembling the ham and cheese sandwiches he liked to eat. Chinese observers were grimly fascinated by his dry, boring sandwiches, and his gentle, stoic manner - and he built up a cult following. "We go from questioning the dry old man, to understanding the dry old man, to becoming the dry old man," observed one cultural commentator. "The old man is us, and his dry lunch is our dry life."

Issue of TODAY’S SENIOR, with a picture of a puppy on the cover. Next to the puppy are the words “FREE, courtesy of our advertisers.”
My cat, lying on her back and grabbing my sleeve with her claws, her mouth open to reveal her pointy teeth.
The T-Rex from Dinosaur Comics saying “Hah hah ha! Yes!” like the Sickos meme.
Teenage Mutant Spartan Turtles, in the style of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles logo
A hammerhead shark transforms into some kind of goblin holding a rolling pin, which proceeds to pop out of the shark’s torso and roll a normal fish into a flat flounder. “Uninvited” is a movie about a weird monster cat that lives inside of another cat. That’s all I got here.
Archbishop Fischella, an elderly Italian man, lightly and reverently touching a vinyl figurine of Luce, who looks like a chibi anime character on a pilgrimage.
Scorpius from Farscape, standing on a sunny beach, wearing a straw hat and colorful Hawaiian shirt and flashing a big jovial grin with his gross teeth.
A creepy chicken-doll my grandma gave me in 2003. Whatever it’s actually made of, it feels like leather and burnt denim.
Cardboard cutouts of Mike Nelson and his robot pals from Mystery Science Theater 3000.
