Weekly Sundays and a cover



aLiEnAnTiCs!!!










a sci-fi book that I picked up in a discount shop for 50 cents. I figure at that price I can still make my money back at the used Book seller. Was in the mood for some good old fashioned 70's science fiction, but other than the coolish artsy cover by John Linder this really looks horrible, and I can't find any useful information online about it.

evacuate the premises, Comics inevitable

freezing cold in the summit city, a fine day to laze about with waffles and coffee...














in case you all have missed any comics here is a link >LINK< to nothing but Dog Vs Cat and
aLiEnAnTiCs!!! and Monsters! and a few other
slightly amusing doodles that are at least less weighty than all the words I've been dumping
here lately. Sorry about all the flatulent drivel,
don't worry, soon it will be all over (insert sounds of impending doom) and the worms will be smiling big toothy grins.

Dinosaur Hand, Superbowl party!

Tom & Dinosaur Hand
review....
Superbowl XLVI, New York Giants at New England Patriots
in Indianapolis, Indiana!

Dinosaur Hand: Woo woo wooooo. Indiana rules.
Tom: In which, we will review the whole of the event, from coin toss to commercials to actual football.
D.H: Yup. How about all the football players singing “Did I ever tell you you're my Hero” to common folk...good commercial?
Tom: Sure. Fun, heart warming, cute. Good Hoosier stuff there. Then we go right into America the Beautiful, sung nicely with a country tilt by a couple of people I've never seen before in my life.
D.H: Is Indiana considered country?
Tom: I never thought so. Ask John Cougar Mellencamp. The National Anthem is a big song, sung big by Kelly Clarkson – backed by military drum corp and a bunch of kids.
D.H: She sing good. Okay, big coin toss, and Patriots win it!
Tom: They defer, no surprise there. Tee it up, let's get on with it!
D.H: Break! I liked the Hyundai commercial, with the Rocky theme song. Clever.
Tom: Whoops, missed the opening drive; Toby wanted to play with his squeaky ball.
D.H: I saw it...Manning sacked twice, and too far out for a field goal attempt...Giants kick it away. Tom: Hey, Audi has a headlight commercial with Vampires partying. Cool, kill 'em all! Elton John gets the big heave ho in a Pepsi ad.
D.H: Kind of weird that; why was he dressed up like a king?
Tom: Patriots give up 2 points on a safety – intentional grounding while in the end zone. Never seen that before. Sort of hard to explain.
D.H: Then the Giants put together a great drive...Manning to Cruz, Touch Down! (9-0).
Tom: Guess I'll have to try Bud Platinum. Naked M&M's, not funny. Stupid Coca Cola Polar Bear commercial.
D.H: Oh man! The Chevy truck Armageddon Ad, that was classic. Loved it!
Tom: Crap – Toby, Tami, an ear bud cord and a ring are all tangled up and it looks like trouble.
D.H: Time Out!
Tom: More ads: Impact tremors, Lexus, whatever.
D.H: Liam Neeson – Battleship movie preview, could be cool.
Tom: Giants force a 4th down, Patriots kick a field goal. (9-3).
D.H: Doritos as a bribe, burying a cat? Haha. G.E. Has some impressive shtuff: “they make the power that makes the beer.” Got it. The John Carter Disney movie doesn't look all that good.
Tom: I hope it is. Ooh, The Lorax; I remember the book. Ha, fat dog gets in shape to chase a VW bug. Nice.
D.H: Giants are contained, they kick it away. Patriots get a touchback.
Tom: Another polar bear commercial. Eh, not bad, Coke still sucks. Patriots punt again, 8 minutes left in 2nd quarter.
D.H: Now Giants punt, great punt! Ball on the 4 with 4 minutes to go.
Tom: Toby's out cold. Star Wars in 3-D. Woop-de-doo.
D.H: Patriots work their way out of the endzone.
Tom: Another super hero movie? Avengers, hmm. Sketchers ad, love that high jumpin' doggie. Brady continues to move the chains. Time out.
D.H: Bungee Baby Doritos! Wow, weee. Bruce Willis as G.I. Joe? Ridiculous.
Tom: Brady has all day to throw the ball, touch down, extra point. (10-9, N.E.) Halftime, Madonna.
D.H: Hey, that old broad still got some moves. Ooh ooh yeah. Hand jive.
Tom: 2nd half, New England comes back onto the field feeling strong, scores easily. (17-9).
D.H: Boring ads. Giants kick a 3 point field goal. (17-12), gotta hold 'em N.Y.
Tom: Injury time out: Fiat, sexy. Pepsi Max for life, eh. Toyota, reinvented...ooh. Polar bears, again? John Stamos and yogurt....Acura, Seinfeld, Leno and an alien (hahaha).
D.H: Brady sacked, 4th down, defense!
Tom: Budweiser, of course. Bridgestone quiet basketballs. Neh.
D.H: Oops, Giants fumble, they recover. Driving, nuts! 4th down, field goal. (17-15).
Tom: Brady breaks a tackle, throws down field to a gimpy Gronkowski...interception!
D.H: Giants can't convert, have to punt, 9:30 to go.
Tom: Kia, really? Monkeys?
D.H: ooh ah ah.
Tom: Patriots get ball, injury time out, more ads, 7:33, nice play, 1st down New England.
D.H: Stopped! Punt. Giants have the ball with 3:46 and one time out.
Tom: Cheese, what a throw, what a catch! 2 minute warning, Giants in field goal range...
D.H: The Puppy Bowl is on Animal Planet.
Tom: Change the channel back!
D.H: Giants running the ball, running down the clock. 1st down and goal, 1:07.
Tom: Touchdown! Bradshaw tries to stop before goal line, falls in for 6 points!
D.H: Going for 2, stopped. (21-17) with 57 seconds to go...exciting!
Tom: Yeah. Kick off, Patriots ball on the 20 yard line – 57 seconds to go 80 yards.
D.H: 2 passes by Brady, 2 drops. Brady sacked! Time out, egad!
Tom: 4th and long, 39 seconds. Brady breaks the tackle, throws - 1st down!
D.H: And another first down, spike ball to stop the clock, 17 seconds.
Tom: Penalty, replay 2nd down, 9 ticks.
D.H: No catch, 3rd down, Hail Mary throw to the end zone....
Tom: oh jeez...
D.H: No play, ball in the air, on the ground, game over!
Tom: Wow.
D.H: Giants win the pennant, Giants win the pennant!
Tom: Wrong sport, different team, you goob.
D.H: Oh. Can I go to bed now?

Giants win 21 – 17.
wow wow wow.

Dinosaur Hand movie review

Tom & Dinosaur Hand present:

French Films. “Oh non!”
Tom: I have been rather engrossed in foreign film lately, and have watched a few noteworthy ones,
Dinosaur Hand: and some that are rather mauvaise.
Tom: What is that you are doing, Dino? It is sort of obscene.
D.H: I am expressing my opinion on your recent choice of movies.
Tom: Point taken. We have seen some modern foreign films, like Amelia and Castaway on the Moon that we're really very good. And some others like The Good, the Bad, the Weird and I'm a Cyborg, but That's Ok that were alright.
D.H: Hey, I liked the cyborg one. Especially the parts where she machine guns everybody to death. Rat-a-tat-tat!
Tom: The last two we watched were French, and classics from the 60's, from the great French directors Jean-Luc Godard and Ingmar Bergman.
D.H: Alphaville and Persona...ack phooie.
Tom: We watched Persona first. I found it very engrossing,and the acting was superb. Dino, did you understand it...at all?
D.H: Pas.
Tom: You don't have to speak in French. You can just shake or nod, or sulk. I promise we'll watch some crazy car chasing gun toting animal mauling slug fest next.
D.H: Oui.
Tom: While I didn't totally understand Persona, I still enjoyed it, and actually I'm pretty sure it's not meant to be totally understood.
D.H: Oh, there's a ringing endorsement. “Go see this movie, because it's unfathomable!” Ding dong.
Tom: Fine. So, Alphaville was totally different. It was quirky as hell, I guess a sci-fi thriller, but with almost no science fiction, or special effects. It was mostly mind bending, I guess...a psychological thriller.
D.H: It's a 60's art film. Gads. It was twisted. It reminded me of something stupid you'd think of. Quack.
Tom: I love you too.
D.H: Ha! I'll bet you think that was original. You twit, she said it herself at the end. But I did like the little joke she told, though I have no idea what it had to do with anything...it was about the 1:19 mark.
Tom: Weirdo. Well, I liked it. It was, to say the least, different. Now, let's find something with lots of bright colors and explosions, right?
Dinosaur Hand: Talk to the hand!
