Fanvacooltva!



Corgi Toys in Pictures: another great feature from that monobrowed master of whistling records, Basic Hip. I collected the spy-themed vehicles when I was a lad, including the Man From U.N.C.L.E. Thrush-Buster and Saint's Volvo. At the time, I thought the Avengers were kinda wimpy.

Thanks, Sebastian!

Calling All Droogs



Slooshy well to your humble narrator, all you malchicks and devotchkas. Viddy the Clockwork Orange Glossary of NADSAT and learn it well, or you'll get a good tolchocking.

An Explosion of Plastic, Inevitably



It would appear that people have found a rather interesting variety of applications for TAP Plastic products.

Did you know that Andy Warhol was constructed entirely of Hi-Impact Acrylics and Twin-Wall Polycarbonate Sheeting?

Neither did I.

Kudos to Caitlin

Where's Lola Heatherton?



The Top 100 Trainwrecks of the 20th Century isn't about the kind of trains that go "choo-choo".

Actually, the site itself is sort of a trainwreck, design-wise, but don't let that stop you. That, or the many photographs of chickens that lie between you and the NUMBER ONE TRAINWRECK OF THE 20TH CENTURY!

Another fine thing from things magazine

More Classic Horror



From now on, I'm getting my requisite dose of psychotronica online from the horrifically fab Monster Kid magazine.

Serious Russian Nightmare Fuel



A lot of 'blogs have linked to How It Works...The Computer recently. I hope people are taking some time to browse the rest of that site, there are a lot of great book scans there, like this very disturbing Russian children's book with creepy, googly-eyed characters. Wish I could translate the title.

I also like these horror trump card sets, and this book of filthy, dirty, poo-flinging monkeys.

Thanks to A Best Truth for the link.
