Today, by someone named capv77 (well it was posted by a capv77 anyway, don't know if that signature in the bottom right Vap2021 is the artist or not), we have a bunch of Avengers from the mid to late 70s (which I consider one of, if not THE, best eras of the team)


Roughly clockwise from upper left: Iron Man, Thor, Ms. Marvel, Falcon, Wasp, Scarlet Witch, Captain America, Beast, Goliath II, Vision, Quicksilver, Ant-Man, Black Widow, Hellcat, Black Panther, Wonder Man

And today we also have a Fantastic Four cosplayer.

I started playing D&D with the red box: two 'books' explaining the game, 6 D&D dice, a pencil and a piece of paper.  And now...

Now, I've got two shelves of D&D items, and well as several others piled on the floor.  I still occasionally find things online and buy them.  And I've haven't played it in probably 12-15 years!   It's an insidious lil hobby.

My birthday song, my happy world (Part 265)...

 Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1933, in San Antonio, Texas, Carol Burnett was born. 


We'll get to her self titles show in a minute.  Carol Burnett has been on Broadway, television and film.  Over the years she's earned 7 Emmys, a Tony, a Grammy, and 7 Golden Globes.  Her career has lasted 7 decades.

But really, she's a badass, if for nothing else, than The Carol Burnett Show.   I remember in my youth, sitting on the sofa with mom at 10 pm on Saturday Nights and settling in to watch the show.   Week after week after week.

Without her show, would we have ever heard of Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman or Tim Conway?  Maybe, but it's doubtful they would have reached the level of fame they did. 

From her show we got: 

As The Stomach Turns sketches
The Family sketches (Eunice and Mama)
Nora Desmond sketches
The Oldest Man sketches
The Queen sketches
Stella Toddler sketches
Mrs. Wiggins sketches (and Mr. Tudball)
and tons of commercials and movies parodies

I mean, if you've not seen their parody of "Gone With The Wind" called "Went With The Wind", please, do yourself a favor and go watch it on youtube.    Seeing her dress and the line about it is worth the price of admission alone. 

And now, at the age of 93, she's still acting, currently appearing in Palm Royale.

Total badass!

From the man who gave us "Sleepy Joe", we now have "Dozing Don"!


No this is not AI.  This actually happened.  Say what you will about Biden but I don't recall him falling asleep in the Oval Office with a bunch of his staff around him with the media in front recording it all. 

Futhermore, and more disturbing...why hasn't that self-same media made this the front page photo of every newspaper in the nation and the lead story on every single newscast?

Why?  Because the 'liberal media' is a myth.  It's all over by billionaires who like the obscene tax cuts tRump gave them and they don't want them to go away, so they don't criticize him.  Ever. 

It's a severe dereliction of their duty.

But I'm complaining about it quietly because I don't want to disturb the Snorer-In-Chief.

Phantom Girl 


Tinya Wazzo was born on the planet of Bgtzl (yeah, you try saying that).  She has the power of all her people to 'phase' herself so she can pass through things, or they can pass through her like a ghost.   She was the second non-founding member.  She was a member of the Legion Espionage Squad also.  

Also, as an aside, she's one of the two characters who are my favorites on the team.

I've got books lining my shelves, day and night....

 Books 2026


Tonight I ordered a couple books through www.bookshop.org.  If you're going to order books online, check them out first.  They don't have as huge a collection as Amazon, but the money you spend goes to help locally owned bookshops instead of into the pockets of a billionaire.   Just sayin...

Anyways, the books were:
