Finally!
About three or four weeks ago I took part in an E-bay action for a massive She-Hulk (Link: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=6836 ) statue and won and tofday I got it from the customs office. The office is in Oberursel, I had to switch train 2 times. At least the office was right next to the train station. I didn´t have to wait for a long time there, just 20 minutes since there where just 2 people in front of me. Customs whent surprisingly fast. I had to pay 25,- Euros customs and taxes and I was off. You know what is up with state office buildings? They always look like they are stuck in the time they where build in. The customs office building looks like in the 1950. The funiture is 50 years old and even the air smells ancient. The only modern pieces of equipment where the computers.

Now I had to get that massive thing home. It weights 3,5 kg, thats not really much but the box is not very handy. Again, I had to switch trains two times. Quite tedious. But totally worth it!

The actualy box of the statue in the shipping box. I ttook the photos in my bathroom because the light there is better than in my room.

And here she is in all of her glory. The soda can next to it is for size comparison. The Jade giantess does all credit to her name; the statue is HUGE! Heavy too. I love how detailed it is.

Her briefcase is a seperate part.

I love that "Whoops" expression. Again note the amazing detailwork.

Boobies!!!!

The base looks very cool too, the exploded shoes are a nice touch.

Dat ass!

The shreddet clothing looks very awesome. Ths statue shows Shulkie shortly after a sudden transformation from puny Jen Walters to mighty She-Hulk.


I love those toned muscles on her arms.
All in all I´m very happy about that purchase. The statues is limited, so since its sold out it is quite possible that I´m one of few, if not the only owner of such a stature in continental Europe. Along with my original pages Gold Digger pages one of the highlights of my comic collection.

...I mean he can´t just butcher retardet teenagers all day, that would get pretty tedious after a while, wouldn´t it?

Pretty awesome how precise and detailed that guy can sculpture with a chainsaw.

Check his website too, he did several of these incredible projects.

Been on the Frankfurt Christmas marked today, ate a taco, a cheese sausage in breaddough and a woodruff Negerkuss. Then I got a bit drunk from a large stein of Doppelbock beer. I also took some photod for my little droogs to enjoy. So enjoy:

This years metropolitan christmas tree.


On the christmas market. Can you smell the cookies and the Glühwein?

The nativity scene.
Edited for the pics.

...cos even cannonfodder needs some love.

I got the new Super Mario Bros game for the Wii today.
What can I say, its more fun than a bucket full of hamsters and a douzend firecrackers!
What I really like here is that it is basically the same game as 25 years ago, just with pimped out graphics, motre items and a multiplayer mode. It is Super Mario Bros., as sidescrolling Jump and Run, IMHO, it is more Super Mario Bros. than most other Super Mario games pzublished in the last years, especially the 3D ones, cause lets face it: Super Mario is not 3D, it never was, Its 2D and thats how it always should be. I have to ask my buddy Seytos if he has time anytime soon, so that we can test out the multiplayer mode, it really looks like fun.
But dinnae trust me words, me droogies, just viddie:

^_^ Fun!



And now everybody...

DO THE MARIO!!!

Die Ärzte have a new video:

Yeah, even Rockstars get old.

Today the popular german cartoonist Flix sighned his books and comics at the Terminal Entertainment comic store. Of course I was there and got a signed copy of his latest book "Da war doch was..." ("There used to be something...") about how he and some of his friends remember their childhood in East- and West-Germany and how they remember the german seperation and of course the reunification.



Here are some pics of the sighning, sorry for the crap quality, I forgot my camera so I had to use my cell phone camera, which is, as I mentioned before, on the fritz. The sighning was really cool. Flix is a nice guy.


Here are some decent photos of the book and the little sketch. He was really quick, thats the sign of a good artist. The book is very nice. I like the concept of it. Childhood memories on the german seperation, my oldest memory on that topic is somewhere in the later 1980, probably 87 or 88. I drew a map of Germany and showed it to my mom. She praised me that I drew it very accurate and that I did even draw the innergerman border (I knew that from the Tagesschau). I told her then that I think this border is stupid and that somebody should blow up that wall. I remember that she sighed then and said "If only that would be that easy...". 1 or 2 years later it showed that it was indeed that easy...

I saw the latest episode online yesterday and now whenever I see something about the Avatar movie, may it be a poster, a TV spot or an article in an magazine, a pesky little voice in the back of me head croons "Dances with Smurfs!", "Dances with Smurfs!", "Dances with Smurfs!".
Why thank you, Parker and Stone! Now I will see the movie probably giggleling like a retard in the cinema because of "Dances with Smurfs!".

Got the american Playboy last week, this one was too funny topass. In the current November issue we have some great pinups of one of cartoons favorite MILKs (Mom I´d Like to Know). I think its hillarious if the character owners produce their own rule-34 material.

20 years ago was Germanys finest hour. 20 years ago we were the most luckiest people on the world. 20 years ago the Berlin wall came down.
Remember that day people.

Today I tried Burgerkings New Grilled Cheese Steakhouse burger.
Place was the Burgerking Liebfrauenberg in Frankfurt, time was ca. 14:30 on Thursday, the 5th of November 2009.

I took the burger in a menue with fries and a medium cola.


First impression: The GRilled Cheese Steakhouse is one of the larger Burgerking Burgers, On it is a beef patty, salad, grilled onions, and BBQ-Sauce and a large slab of grilled cheese. Looks pretty okay to me.

First bite:Interesting andplayfull combination of the hearty cheese and thesmokey BBQ-taste. The onions give iteven a light fruity sweetness.
My result:
Grilled Cheese Steakhouse: 9 of 10. Something new! The taste is quite unusual but yummy.
A final word on the beggar problem in this BK, which has not become any better. A homeless guy was guing from table to table begging, and that under the watch of an employee who didn´t do anything about it. Oh well, she didn´t probably get payed enough to fight with bums...

Eralier today I was at the Schlecker drugstore in the mezzazine of the Hauptwache station to buy some stuff. At the cashiers in front of me was a really old man buying some batteries for his sphygmomanometer. He tried to change the batteries right here but he didn´t get the battery case open, the cashier couldn´t open it too, so I changed the batteries. The old man was very happy about that and shaked my hand and thanked me. Then, totally out of context actually, he said "I´m 100 years old!". This totally took my surprise and I said something stupid like "Wow, congratulations!". But somehow that little gratefull gesture with that little remark made me think. 100 years. A whole century. This means he was born in 1909. He was 3 years old when the Titanic sunk, and 5 years when World War 1 broke out. When the war endet, the emperor abdicatet and Phillip Scheidemann proclaimed the Republic on the balcony of the Reichstag he was just 9 years old. During the hypperinflation he was 14 and when Hitler rose to power 24. When the second World War started he was 30, in the best age to get into the horros of war, at the german capitulation he was 36. When the Federal Republic was foundet he was 40 allready. When Armstrong walked on the moon he was 60, that is the age at which my father died. When I was born he was 71, that is the age at which my Grandfather died. When the Berlin wall came down he was 80 and at the reunification of Germany 81.
This is incredible when you think about it.

I saw it about two hours ago. A truely grand testament to the late Michael Jackson. This documentation showed not only what a great artist and incredible performer he was, but also that he was a great, nice guy. When he was working with his crew, band and dancers he was one of them, he threated them with respect and as equals, thats something you don´t see very often with super stars. He was loving and enjoying his work, on the stage he was really alive, that was the place where he really lived up to his legend. He was an entertainter through and through. Its a damn loss that he is dead. He was one of the greatest artists of the last 50 years, this is how he should be rememberd.

Yeah, its the season again, I already scared some teenagers off my lawn (yes, I´m old) who where trick or treating despite beeing too old for that and not wearing a freaking costume. My mom and my sister are watching Twilight on DVD, and not to laught about that horrid piece of shit, no my droogies, they watch it as a movie!!! I consider losing the last bit of respect for them. I mean, c´mon! Freaking Twilight! Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire was more of an vampyre that that little emo-twat in Twilight, hell, the count from Sesame street is more of a vampyre! And most important...
Vampyres.
Do.
Not.
TWINKLE!
In.
The.
Sunlight!!!
They turn to dust, they go ablaze, shrivel up like a old onion, explode, fall on they back like a beetle and stretch arms and legs in the air, in any case they end their undead existence, but they do not, they do never, never ever, in no case, not in a billion years, no way José, TWINKLE like a little fairy princess!!!
What a load of bull!
Whew, but I run completely off topic, here is this years Airpatrol Halloween pic, enjoy!

Its also a little tribute to the late Michael Jackson and his Masterpiece Thriller. In other news, I found a pack of Oreos in my fridge, yay me!
Oh yeah...

I think this is how the Russians won the war.
We Germans just got served.

Seriously, this looks really tough, note that the dancers simle while dong moves that would tear a normal person apart. These guys must have been very fit!

Been in the exposition about early humans in the Senckenberg museum of natural history. Sadly I hadn´t my camera with me, so no photos, but the exposition was very interesting. In the first part of the exposition we see a description of the scientific work of palaeoanthropologists, from the dig in Africa to the scan and the 3-D model of the bones. In the second part of the exposition you can see a very interesting overview over the hominid evolution fromthe common ancestors of humans and great apes to the Homo Sapiens as well as a anatomical and physiological comparison of humans and chimpanzees, one of the closest living relatives of the Homo Sapiens. The most impressive part where forensic reconstructions of faces of early humans, from austraclopitheci, which were still very ape-like over the Neanderthal man and the Homo Florensis (the socalled "hobbit of Flores") to early Homo Sapiens, which looked much like modern day Africans.
If you are in Frankfurt you should see this exposition, it will be open untill April, the 18th 2010. Here is the english website of the exposition: http://urmensch.senckenberg.de/index.php?id=44

I was shocked and disgusted when I saw some TV ads today, more than normal that is.
Alice Cooper, yes the Alice Cooper, The man behind the mask, teemage Frankenstein, one of the most legendary rock stars ever, appears in ads for the german electronic market chain Saturn. In these silly spots he plays the barkeeper of an intergalactic bar making snarky comment about techonolgy, of course with Star Wars rejects aliens as bar patrons.
Check this madness:


D:<
For fucks sake, Alice, why? You used to be so awesome. Was it the big, old dumptruck full of money they left in front of your house?
This here is a sure sign that a star is not a star anymore. Ladies and Gentlemen we see here the point at which Alice Coopers glamorous career is ending, next time we will see him sing at the grand opening of a supermarket in Buffalo.
And this is really sad.

This week was, like every October, the annual Frankfurt book fair. Sadly I had no time to go weekdays and also not a press ticket so I had to go today like the average scum that pollutes that fair on the visitor days. *Sighs* Oh well...

As you can see there wasn´t much going on when I arrived. That is because I came early to avoid the masses. The fair opend at 9:00 h. I was there at about 9:10.

This here is pretty awesome, the book Genesis illustrated by non other than the legendary Robert Crumb. Now, I´m an atheist, in my eyes the bible is a datet, incoherent collection of 4000 year old legends from the middle, east which are frankly full of plot holes, too many too long boring parts and nonsensical things that are just not logical, an awfull book if you read it just as a piece of literature like I do, but I do actually consider buying this just because of the incredible art. Wouldn´t be the first comic I buy just for the art...

W00t, Lackadaisy, a great, very beautyfull onlinecomic (website: http://www.lackadaisycats.com/ ) by the very talented Tracy J. Butler, is finally available in print. Only intalian for now, but the guy oat the booth told me that they are in negotiantions with a german publisher. I´ll buy that!

The booth of the Titanic, the leading german satirical magazine (Website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_(magazine) ). I read that one as often as possible.

This funny piece if from an exposition called "Duckumenta", an exposition in which you can see artworks and historic artefacts depicted as Disney characters. This one here is basing on the famous bust of the Nofretete.

No, thats not C-3PO. This is a replica of Maria from The classic german science fiction movie "Metropolis" by Fritz Lang. It is an open secret that George Lucas was "inspired" by that early movie robot.

This is what I bought in hall 9 where the american publishers are always located. An artbook on Monsters vs. Aliens that shows how the cool, 1950s inspred designs of th movie where created. Many very cool sketches for character-, mecha- and settingdesigns. I payed 20 € for it but I´m pretty sure its worth far more than that.

I left pretty early because the mouthbreathing masses where streamiing in. I hate those people, dumb hicks that stand in the way as if they where in a city for the first time, arents with cmall children in baby carts, god dammit, BABY CARTS in narroy overcrowded aisles, freaking, antisocial morons. And worst of all, cosplayers. Oh, how I despise them... Fat, ugly girls in illfitting, bad costumes, atht look nothing like the animecharacters they are supposed to be but like halloween retards. I hate them.

Fucking cosplayers.
Oh well, I hope I have more time there next year.

Here are some incredible photos taken by space probes. This reminds us what an great and incredible universe that is and how little and insignificant us silly little chipanze-spawn is.

This breathtaking. Sometimes the planets line up in a way that you can see Earth and Jupiter in the same wide-angle shot. This shot was taken by Mars Global Surveyor on May 22, 2003. When the Mars Orbiter Camera snapped this unique shot, Earth was 86 million miles away, and Jupiter was 600 million miles away.

Speaking of Mars. This stunning photo shows a sunrise on the red planet. You know I´m a total avid star wars fan, but this photo beats the twin sunset of Tatooine by miles, especiall since this here is the real deal. Sorry for the big photo,

This guy here http://www.youtube.com/user/NinjaDoctor9 has uploaded a good deal of Star Wars OSTs as well as some Video Game OSTs. He also posted several other movie soundtrcks like the OST of Raiders of the lost ark and Jurassic Park, but the Star Wars ones are my favorites.


This here made me really happy, the songs of the cantina band! Love it! If I had a bar I would play that music all the ime in the background.


Another of my faves. I was looking for Palpatines theme for quite a while. I love that haunting, creepy humming chant. And I love the part from 1:13 to 1:45 in the second one, thats when Luke gets ballistic on Vader.
I really love to find such stuff. ^_^
