My birthday song, my happy world (Part 215)....

Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1946, in London, Alan Rickman was born.

As if Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series were not enough,,,,

,,,,there's more.

Hans Gruber, Die Hard

Sheriff of Nottingham, Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves

Metatron, Dogma

Alexander Dane, Galaxy Quest

Blue Caterpillar, Alice In Wonderland

And several voiceovers sing that distinctive voice of his!

And he's won a BAFTA, Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actor's Guild award!

Sadly, he passed away in 2016 at the age of 69.

Today's map answers the question: Can you legally be bare naked in your backyard?

It might just be me, but I feel Dr. Bunsen Honeydew should be a little bit more to the left on that scale.

And honesty, both Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz should be at the very bottom of the square....if not below the scale altogether.

My birthday song, my happy world (Part 214)......

Badass Birthday

On this date in 1967, in Washington state was born Kurt Cobain.

Oh man...this fella was born just a couple months before me, and damn if he wasn't the "Voice Of My Generation"... for me anyway. First heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in the Fall of 1991, and my life was changed, music wise. Not only Nirvana, but all the bands that they allowed to come into the mainstream: Grunge.

Anyway, he was the lead singer and songwriter for that revolutionary band Nivana. Sadly, Kurt had issues with his fame, and life in general I think, and in 1994, a victim of the 27 year curse (see Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Amy Winehouse), he killed himself with a shotgun.

One of the hardest famous deaths to ever hit me...surpassed only perhaps by David Bowie in 2016.

I can't believe I let the 5 year anniversary of this soulless muckraker shuffling off this mortal coil and going to his just reward...and probably being very VERY hot and uncomfortable where ever he is. Had I remembered I would have had a glass of champagne. At any rate, ponder this:

And what an ever awfuller way to live a life.

I whole-heartedly agree with this statement!

I'll take a table if that's all that's available, but under NO circumstances should it be a first choice, especially if booths are available!

My birthday song, my happy world (Part 213)....

Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1473, in Torun Poland, was born Nicolas Copernicus.

He proposed the groundbreaking heliocentric theory, saying that the Sun was at the center of the universe, not the Earth. In addition to achievements in astronomy, he made significant contributions to diverse fields, such as medicine, classical studies, translations, diplomacy, mathematics, economics, and even Catholic canon.

Total badass!

Perez Appreciation Post

Today, by the Maestro George Perez, we have a cover a Legion Of Super-Heroes comic (which explains why there's so much blue sky at the top, that's where the title stuff would go) when Superboy rejoined after having retired about 4 years before or so, and it shows the entire Legion membership at that time.

Superboy up front, of course

In the time bubble: Karate Kid, Phantom Girl, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Dawnstar and Blok in back

On the ground; Shrinking Violet, Princess Projectra, Element Lad, Timber Wolf, Sun Boy, Star Boy, Duo Damsel, Bouncing Boy, Cosmic Boy, Wildfire, Dream Girl, Chameleo Boy, Mon-El, Shadow Lass, Brainiac 5, Light Lass, and Colossal Boy in back.

(Ultra Boy was a member at this time too, but thought dead)

And of course, there's also the famous Perez detail in all the buildings in back.
