Luthor vs. Skeletor

Click to enlarge with the power of Grayskull!

I saw this at TRU the other day, and almost bought it for its sheer weird 1980s wonderfulness. How does this happen? Who makes the decision to cross these franchises and pit these two characters against each other? What insane genius decided to sculpt and color these characters in their early ’80s appearances? And why the hell does it cost $30? ‘Cause I think if it had been $25 I would probably own it right now. But $30? Nope. They lost me. Just barely, but they lost me.

By the way, Mattel, if you release a Darkseid vs. Hordak set, I promise I will own that shit at any price. Just throwin’ it out there.

Éirinn Go Brách

I had green beer, an egg, sausage, potato and bean breakfast, washed it down with a Guinness, shared a Camel Light bummed from a beautiful blonde, had a complete stranger buy me a shot of Jameson served by an Irishman, then paid back the favor with a second round. All before 9 AM. St. Patty’s Day FTMFW. Éirinn go Brách, my bitches!

Michael Bay Can Suck My Dick

This is a new Transformer from the upcoming Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. It is a NASCAR stock car that turns into a robot with a mullet. In case that didn’t register I will repeat it: it’s a NASCAR robot WITH A FUCKING MULLET. You understand that he’s making fun of you, right? He mocked black people in the last film and now he’s mocking NASCAR fans. And in the end, if you see this movie, he’s mocking you.
