A pic of me and my bride from 1994. Still married.
A Snake Eyes action figure. The G.I. Joe commando and reside ninja. This one is from the Snake Eyes movie. It's not a great movie as they fudged the best aspects of Snake Eyes' origin.
Image from a 12-episode TV series called "The Middleman" with Natalie Morales and Matt Keslar. They're aiming sci-fi guns at unknown targets but the shadows behind them suggest some strange creatures.
Sylvester Stallone flanked Chazz Palminteri and Peter Riegert in the movie OSCAR (1991). They are dressed like 1930s gangsters.
Douglas Reynholm (from Series 2 of THE IT CROWD) is being "entertained" by a phone going off in his pants. He's making the same face as the picture he just hung up on the wall. This suggests that he makes this face a lot. Although it's the only time it actually happens in the series.
The Marvel B-list villain Arcade. He tangled with the X-Men and had some crossover appeal to other hero groups.
The movie poster for Young Guns II, directed by Geoff Murphy. It's the sequel that stars Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Christian Slater with the top billing. It also has Alan Ruck and William Petersen as Will Garrett.
A wolf ponders why a human is jogging. Wolf: What are you running from apex predator? Are you chasing prey? You need to conserve energy. Bear: The hell is that guy doing? Wolf: I don't know. I don't understand.
The wallpaper inside the Mickey Mouse train ride queue. It's housed in what was once the Great Movie Ride at Hollywood Studios at Disney World. We waited over an hour to get on that ride and was about to get on when they shut the whole thing down. I was a little annoyed.
It's a water tower designed like a giant peach. There's a great deal of detail that went into this. I think I'm still in Alabama.
Actor Ray Wise as the Devil on the short-lived TV series "Reaper."
My header George "Clay" Mitchell My followers. Still surprised I have more than 1,000. It lists me as "husband, dad, son, brother, writer, editer." I also tell golks to support independent publishers and authors. My icon is a cartoon goose smoking a pipe. (I'm not a goose or smoke.) My banner is a collage of The Shadow, the Phantom, Dick Tracy, and the Rocketeer. I'm a fan of those pulp films.
Statue of famous deputy U.S. Marahal Bass Reeves in Fort Smith, Ark. Bass Reeves served Judge Isaac Parker in the Western District of Arkansas and spent most of his time in the Oklahoma Territory serving warrants. He made over 1,000 arrests and never got the wrong man or woman, despite being illiterate his whole life.
A screenshot of the 1987 game: Pirates that was created by Sid Meier. The pirates have caught a Merchantman ship and are asking the captain (you) if you want to send a crew to add th ship to your fleet or plunder and sink it. If it's not heavily damaged, a Merchantman is a good ship to add, but don't use it as your flag ship.
A boy rabbit from the Disney animated movie "Robin Hood." He has a toy sword and declares, "Death to tyrants!"
From the movie "Inside Out 2" where they meet a new emotion... except this is a fake image since it has someone resembling Karl Marx, and the emotion is "class consciousness."
The crew for the Japanese movie Gatchaman (2013). It's a pretty cool movie. I grew up watching the animated series (called "G-Force" in the States) when I was a kid. It was my introduction to anime. This one, along with "Star Blazers" and Speed Racer, were my staples.
Tak Sakaguchi (left) and Chieko Misaka star in the Japanese film "Versus" (2000). They are dressed in the traditional 10th century Japanese attire during a flashback scene.
A view of Tablerock Lake in southern Missouri near Branson. Blue skies, blue lake, green trees, the kind of places that Republicans and conservatives want to trash for profit. [Bleep]ers.
Comic book cover for a short-lived Marvel series called, "Strikeforce Morituri." (Latin for "We who are about to die." It depicts three earthlings firing at alien guns pointed at them while another alien "holds" them in palm of his hand like he's going sqeeze them. It takes place where heroes are created, but they have a very limited lifespan. They go through the process to fight off an alien invasion.
A plate featuring a double cheeseburger and fresh cut fries from George's in Fort Smith, Ark.
Walking trail at Pea Ridge National Park in Arkansas. Clear skies and 68 degrees.
A view of the bluffs along the Buffalo River at Steel Campground near Ponca.
Three T-13 figures on a messy desk. The red one was unable to stand on his own as his leg joints were too loose. A little clear fingernail polish added another layer to help create some resistance in the joints.
The cover of the video game "Pirates" for Nintendo NES. Depicted on the cover: There' a pirate skull with a beard. Two pirates fighting. A treasure chest full treasure and two ships fighting.
Michael McKean as Mr. Green smiles at Howard Hesseman as The Chief in the 1985 movie "Clue." It's right after McKean delivers the final line of the movie, "I'm gonna go home and sleep with my wife." It's funny because he let everyone assume he was gay during the course of the movie to keep them from being suspicious that he's an FBI agent.
Peter Capaldi as The Doctor playing an electric guitar. Capaldi is a musician and was once in a punk band in the 1970s and 80s called The Dreamboys. He's a second cousin of singer Lewis Capaldi.
