Huge nerd (weather, hockey, sci-fi, RUSH, Transformers, RWBY, all kinds of music)! Jersey collector, synth musician, okay artist, fatigue manager, parrot wrangler. Just Say No To Fash. He/Him.

50s Grey airplane with red and white striping parked at Gate 2 at night.
A single streak of contrail through the evening sky resembles a rocket being launched. The sky is pale blue, the clouds appear pink backlit by the sun as it sets.
The first model kit issued of U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701-C, Ambassador class, which Ryan North and I agree is the greatest design in all of Starfleet and is so god (but not the shitty "god" in Star Trek V who could only WISH he could get his non-corporeal mitts on a starship this HOT) damn sexy that I should probably have tagged this as porn or NSFW or something. Yes, the paint bled through the tape a little because I didn't have paintphobic tape back then. Still hot af, tho. 🖖
Mega Man 2 front cover. It's a thousand times better than the atrocity known as the Mega Man 1 cover.
A fluffy calico cat is basking in the sunlight, sitting in front of a window on a square stool that has a green blanket draped over it. She is backlit, her face in shadow but looking directly at the camera.
A regular sized Mini-Wheat in my palm compared to this bloody monstrosity which is about 7 times larger and oddly misshapen and came out of my cereal box in a decidedly not-mini state.
Kraft swings for the fences and offers Cotton Candy flavoured "booster" for its original Kraft Dinner (Kraft Mac and Cheese to our American neighbours). It did not go over well.
The villain of Scooby Doo: Night of 100 Frights, Mastermind, voiced (and sung, frequently) by Tim Curry, who is too damn good for this game but made it memorable.
A drawing of Mark Stone, captain of the Vegas Golden Knights hoisting the Stanley Cup in 2023 made with coloured pencils, Copic markers and Posca paint pens.
A print of Michael Whelan's "Legends: The Gunslinger" from Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" featuring Roland Deschain stepping through a door towards the Dark Tower, the linchpin of the multiverse.
The rear end of an aircraft de-icing truck with the words "HOT HOT HOT" emblazoned (haha) on the back as a warning about the heat of the exhaust but it also reminds one of a song by Buster Poindexter called "Hot Hot Hot" which, while simultaneously annoying but memorable at the same time, is forever associated with that singer.
Samus Aran of Metroid, both in her iconic suit and behind that, her visible face and hair in profile.
A very innocent looking conure (small parrot) clinging sideways to a gray curtain and trying to look cute when everyone in the house knows she is actually a massive brat.
Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart on stage in Calgary during their final Rush R40 tour. The stage regressed in design throughout the show, culminating in a stage that resembled a high school gymnasium.
A plastic pumpkin altered to resemble a blue and purple multi-eyed Beholder from Dungeons and Dragons sitting on a doorstep.
A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #1,122,728, Dallas Hicks ‪@drhicks76.bsky.social‬, joined on Sep 20, 2023"
A pineapple green cheeked conure parrot snuggles into a person's hair while perching on the back of their neck.
Remarkably amateur drawing of Jeff Goldblum's famous reclining pose from Jurassic Park but recreated with him wearing his outfit from Thor: Ragnarok. Autographed by Goldblum himself.
