Antiques Again

All the pics this time are from the Antiques Mall in Virginia Beach. It's a giant store full of old stuff. You could easily take hundreds of pictures in there, so I hope you're okay with the few I took.

Super old video games! I can't even pick one to make a joke out of. Um, how about the Oscar the Grouch game? Did they pick that out of the trash?

Pony with a Minty Tattoo

 Welcome to the blog! I grab random pictures while I'm out, and make fun comments on 'em. You may have heard me say that a thousand times by now.

Get it? Because the book is the opposite? It's also neat that people get dragon tattoos because we think dragons are awesome, so the fact that the dragon thinks a girl tattoo is awesome, is just cool even without the book reference.

Fist-Bump!

Punch! I usually try and post something once a week, thanks for sticking around for my usual nonsense pop-culture pictures and comments.

Remember when the Hulk movie came out and everybody got the "Hulk Hands" and it was having a moment? Well... They figured out how to do it again! This time in red. The Washington Football Team was like... Um, this is what we meant by "Redskins" all along! It was always Red Hulk! What did you think we meant?

Jets Grab

I was trying to think of a claw machine reference for the opening... something abut grabbing pictures. But it's not really like that. Claw machines are random in their content, but there is some skill involved with which one you choose to go for. Anyway... have some random pictures I got while wandering around.

This Jets bear might not seem too out-of-place in a claw machine, except it was in Virginia. That's a little far away from New York, you think? I mean, I'm a Jets fan, so I'm not complaining about it. Maybe another Jets fan was stocking the machines far away from home.

The Best Blog Plaque

 Another round of pictures! My treat this time. Um... just like every time.

I'm in this old deli with a bunch of plaques on the wall with newspaper clippings about the place. Now that newspapers are becoming extinct, will these turn into print-outs of internet blogs? Minty says this deli is the best! Now print me out and hang ME on the wall!

Patchwork Pictures

 A patchwork of pictures I comment on. Enjoy the fun comments.

POP!! Figures trying yet another variant of characters to squeeze money out of collectors. Should we think this is cool that they offer so much, or frustrated that you need yet another Batman to have a complete collection? Either way, this Patchwork Catwoman is basically what they already did in the Batman Returns movie, with the stitches all over her costume. Can that be considered a rip-off, if it's from Catwoman already? The ball of yarn is a nice touch, though.

Somebody's Pictures

You made it! Congratulations! You win a look at some pictures I took, and the fun comments that go along with 'em.

Guess where I took this picture. Does this mean I love you, too? Just because it's on the t-shirt? I get the simple text for a city like Plainsboro, but I gotta think that Princeton has better t-shirts. The college over there is quite the place.

Black T-shirt Sports Jacket Guy

 Welcome back! Just roaming around grabbing pictures and making fun comments as usual.

I paused when I saw this character, among a selection of toddler toys. Who is this guy? He looks like he could be the CEO of a tech company, a villain in a 90's action movie, or anything in-between. He looked way out-of-place in the lineup of the other childish figures.

Om-nom-nom Pictures

Sorry for the delay in posting, long story, but my laptop basically stopped working. I managed to get a new one, it was a great sale but it's a Chromebook, so it has a completely alien Chrome operating system. So alien, the keyboard doesn't even have a "delete" key on it. And the file system is not very intuitive to navigate. The screen is like, a lot smaller, but hey, let's post some pictures on it! And um, thanks for checking back.

You know how on Sesame Street, Cookie Monster doesn't really "Eat" the cookies, he just crumbles them up and they fall to pieces? It "looks" like he's eating them, but in reality, they are making such a mess! Now... you can do that, too! OM-NOM NOM NOM!

Rebel Pictures

 Hi! I post pics of stuff with fun comments. Mostly pop-culture type of stuff. Hope you enjoy 'em.

 

I took this picture so I could comment on the Netflix movie Rebel Moon, which I recently watched. Ugh, what a mess. It was such a beautiful movie full of interestingly designed characters. But... It was so outrageously violent, people being shot with what looked like molten lava guns. Very gruesome, truly horrible, awful, dark, super-serious things happening. Yet, the plot was so childish. Like, only children could be expected to follow the very lame plot. The violence was so serious, yet the plot was as equally ridiculous. The "Empire" was slaughtering world after world, yet they present the premise of like, six people, who... okay, now that we got these six people... well, now... watch out, Empire! And none of them have magic powers or anything, it's like six people versus infinite army of molten lava gun tanks and orbital bombardment ships. Sorry to have turned this into a blog or something, most of my comments are not nearly as long. It's just a terrible two-movies. I only watched the second movie just to torture myself, I was pretty sure it was not going to get better, but I had to give it a chance. Did I mention it's the worst version of quiet/loud audio? The one scene a guy was whispering to a griffon so quietly you had to turn the volume up a ton "We are both prisoners, my friend..." responded with "SCREECH!" so loud my TV almost blew up! And... the figure was on clearance, no surprise.

Pictures in Progress

 Whoops! Again, I usually like to post something at least once a week. So sorry for the delay and thanks or checking back. My laptop has been acting "wonky" for a while and it's been quite distracting trying to get it working. You don't want details, do you? Nah, just enjoy some fun comments about stuff I saw and took pictures of.

Uh oh. If you are visiting someone, and see this sign.... You might want to run. It might already be too late. Check under the carpet for a magical seal, or maybe it's on the ceiling? The sign is there to torment you.

Squirrel!

 Pictures with fun comments are like little treats to this squirrel. You want some fun pictures? It's okay... let me toss you some pictures.

It's been a few years since we've had a "squirrel buddy" who consistently gets treats, but we still have treats for the occasional curious critter. On some level, you don't want them to be dependent on you to survive, but it's just so cute when they run up to get treats.

Smokin' Pics

 I'm here with another bunch of pictures, of stuff I wanted to comment on. Hey, that's what I do.

Lazy Saturday; watching The Rifleman from 1963. I saw this CHILD smoke-up a cigar! In the episode! A small amount of research revealed this kid was 15, but the character he was playing was probably younger. What a different "time," I suppose. Both in the wild west, and, I guess, before smoking was known to be so unhealthy.

2025 Already?

 Happy New Year! Have some free Minty Pictures on us!

Um... What's up, Lay's Potato Chips? You know a lot of NFL Football is free, assuming you own a television set. You can watch it on multiple channels all season long. But good for you, trying to trick people into buying your chips. I guess I did notice the plus sign there, but it's not very noticeable, so that's bad logo design for "NFL+" assuming that's different than regular NFL.
