In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

I must apologize for slandering Total Recall for 35 years. I saw it in theaters, and simply missed it was a parody of action thrillers. Watching it for the first time since I was 15; I laughed uproariously about a dozen times. 10 out of 10, one of the funniest movies ever made.

If I say, “toilet bear,” what is the first image that comes to mind?

I got high and binged THE COMIC SHOP this evening, which tracks because I lettered a page of THE COMIC SHOP: EDIBLE MAN today.

Anyway. Please back both of the quoted projects for me, personally.

I got to do covers for Something is Killing the Children, which is insane.
It's even MORE insane that they glow in the dark.

It’s certainly impossible to pick the “Best Song of All Time,” but starting with Dusty Springfield’s “Son of a Preacher Man” would get you quite a ways toward getting close.

Happy International Coffee Day! A German word that describes a coffee substitute, usually made from barley malt, is Muckefuck. It essentially means "rotting wood mulch" and can also describe any weak coffee. So next time someone makes you a bad coffee feel free to say "What the Muckefuck is this?"

My buddy Will Allred is back! You need to get on this one if you like good comics. You ESPECIALLY need to get on this one if you want to be ready for the Tart/Crossover Division adventure coming later this year, or early next year.
