So apparently this is a thing now. Discovered this afternoon in local branch of b&m Bargains. No, they don't capitalize it, I know that's weird.

No but seriously, the dumbest fucking Nineties cover gimmick came from Malibu, before they'd even settled on the "UItraverse" as a shared super-hero setting.

My function? Guardian, sent by the Supercomputer to mend and defend. No-one knows for sure what lies outside the Grid, but I intend to find out...

For extra disturbing filth, the character Maxine is supposedly a grown-ass woman but physically appears to have the body of a 14-year-old girl. What the actual blithering fuck?

Now, was this when ol' Vic Venom there wanted to swerve the crowd and David Flair by revealing the shocking twists that:
Ric was the father of Stacy's baby?
Also Ric Flair was Stacy Kiebler's biological father himself?

@cheapshow.bsky.social @e-loud.bsky.social @britishcrisps.bsky.social Fuck me running, lads. Despite the BBQ label, there's nary a hint of smoke to these curls. No, what you get is a delicious spicy hint of sweetness from molasses powder before the cheese rolls on into town. Love 'em!

Gaze lovingly on the spoils of my latest conquest of the postal system! I began, as one would when taking delivery of a parcel at 10 in the morning, with a breakfast of Tres Leches Toast Crunch, finding it pleasingly familiar but with a caramelized hint of something fancy and new.

It is my belief that Children Of Castor was designed to look like half-formed memories of this 1982 ad for milk in a ring-pull oddly tapered can.

@britishcrisps.bsky.social @cheapshow.bsky.social Very pickle-forward, and a subtle hint of greasy beef under a mild blanket of ketchup and mustard. Cheesy aftertaste, decently oily crisps delivering good earthy fried-spud crunch. Yeah they're alright, I guess. #SnackPalace

Not really a question, but I just thought you might appreciate the sleek n' sexy clean lines and colour scheme of this Italian chocolate packaging. Like something you'd see Jennifer Connelly buying in "Phenomena/Creepers".

Some sleek n' sexy Italian chocolates with the old-fashioned liqueur choc style of sugar crust and liquid filling. A filling of pure espresso coffee that, combined with the packaging aesthetic, transports you right into a 1970s Italian movie.

Oh, the stories coming out of this deeply ridiculous crossover between companies... Bob Layton standing over Liefeld like a Victorian schoolmaster. Non-conventionally numbered issues, so there's no way to establish a coherent reading order.

And the other flavour of pre-mixed cocktail in tiny cans that really appeals to my sensibilities. Rum, raspberry and lime with a dash of vanilla. More of a summer drink, this, served over a generous measure of expertly crushed ice.

Something very tantalizing discovered on Amazon last night, friends. Tiny cans of pineapple rum punch! I've bought us a case of 12 for quite a reasonable sum, and will be taking delivery on Thursday, as we might be going out on a little trip tomorrow afternoon.

An interesting experiment to have with a pizza for dinner this evening. This'll be the first time I've ever tried one of the particular brand in question, so if it's nice I'll be looking forward to trying others in the line.

Oh friends, the #SnackPalace is gonna be stocked pretty good when Wednesday comes! Got some of these on the way, plus a couple bags of Brooklyn Pita garlic-parmesan crunchy chips.

Here's an easy fix to the Sektor gender-swap problem. Sektor (LK-9T9) is the armour design's name, not the person wearing it. So they make enough of the LK-9T9 model for the whole clan that Bi-han's female general takes over leading while he is stuck as Noob-Saibot. So now they're the Tekunin?
