Ben x(times) Ten!

Here's a short one today, but I think you guys will appreciate it just the same. And yes, it's definitely a play off the title, but it doesn't involve who you think it does.......unless your sick and smart:)

The Thing: "Hey Ladies! See something you like? 'Cause I'm aimin' to git my rocks off, haw haw!"

The ladies are stunned into silence, but can't turn away from the shocking sight!

Zatanna: "So that's why they call him The Thing!"

Cheetah: "My god! It looks like a big bowl of fruity pebbles!"

The ever lovin' end.

And here's a bonus variant "cover" of sorts for this skit:

Also on unrelated note, yesterday was my favorite Beatles' birthday! 

Yes, Sir Paul Mccartney turned 70 yrs young, so wish him well. Happy Belated birthday Sir Paul!.

Hey people.

I figured for today's post since I didn't take any new pics, I'd float by today by posting some of my forays into creative art. And yes I did take Graphic Design, but my skills are nowhere where'd I like them to be. So bear with me, and humor my ass for a little bit okay?

You know all those funny demotivational and Pwned pics that you find everywhere on the internet? Yeah I enjoy a good bit of them too. So much in fact, that I even tried my hand at a few. Enjoy.

Remember where that quote came from? Here's a hint, it was before the hideous George Clooney era, but right after the awesome Michael Keaton series.

This is from an actual picture of Adam West riding an elephant. And no, I don't know why the fuck he was doing that, but what the hell, he's Adam West!

 And here's some variations on the theme:

Any House of 1000 Corpses fans in the audience? I fell in love instantly with this cult-classic hit by Rob Zombie when I first saw this movie. Then he made the sequel, Devil's Rejects, and I really dug that. Not only did I really enjoy the sequel as much as the first, but it's in Devil's Rejects that I discovered classic rocker,Terry Reid. Of course all those things are topics for another day, back to what I was originally talking about.

Anyway, I made a faux-movie poster-type thing for House of 1000 Corpses using the picture I took of my uncompleted C&C's and various spare parts. Here's at least seven different versions of what I was trying to accomplish, and yes I like to change things up and make several variations in a theme:

As you can clearly see, I was playing around with what type of font best suited the logo for the faux-poster, and since I'm not good enough to photoshop the real movie logo onto the poster, I went with the next best thing of trying out various fonts.

I personally like the all-red, and and red- and yellow- Psycho-style fonts myself.

Next up is really old work I did on MS Paint. I was creating a faux-comic book cover for a superhero character of sorts I created called "Bug Man." Yes, I know, very creative name genius"(sarcasm)

But it's the best and easiest I can thing of that applies to a guy who's basically Animal Man, but with bug powers only. His visual was kind of based of an old TNMT episode I watched where a scientist/entomologist, was working on some kind of weird formula, for something, I don't know. But he was attacked by Foot soldiers, and left for dead, whilst being drenched in his own formula and various other chemicals. Yeah I know that sounds perverted if taken out of context, but I swear that's how it happened. It was the early 90's, what'd you expect?

Anyways, he wakes up and starts to grow wings, a scorpion tail, bug eyes, and pinchers out of the side of his mouth. I'm talking shit that you probably saw in the movie Guyver. Yeah, that kind of freaky! Hell he made Baxter Stockman look like Antonio Bandareas compared to what this guy wind up looking like.

Here's Baxter Stockman:


So yeah, that's how I imagined would happen to this guy I made up. He was/is a scientist trying to work on a super-soldier-like serum, but loaded to the fucking nine with different types of bug DNA and venom/blood, and there you go.

And here's the kicker, you know who his main antagonist is? Come on, it's so obvious? The Extreminator!
Yep, I'm just a creative sonuvabitch sometimes.


So here's my humble effort at a possible comic book cover for Bug-Man:

The text on the side, in case you're wondering what the fuck that's all about, is my attempt at insect language- speak for Bug-Man. Again, I'm just so damn creative, can't you tell?

Interesting factoid, or not, I used to want to be an Entomologist when I was little, since I liked bugs so much, or rather killing them so much. I guess its a good thing that never happened, or else I might have ended up as a bug exterminator since I don't think I'd have the attention span or good enough grades to make it as a scientist.


Oh wait! On further investigation into the bug doctor episode, I discovered he too was called Bugman, and was Michelangelo's favorite super-hero. Nice.

Here's what he looked like transforming, you know,just in case you were curious:



I told you he looked freaky.

"She's leaving home"

Hey folks.

Today's post will not be filled with the usual fun and wacky humor you usually find here. Check back here Monday for that.

Today I actually wanted to devoted this post to one very special lady that I'm going to miss like crazy. Heather, this is for you.

Through the course of human musical history, there have been hundreds upon hundreds of songs written about a special person leaving the lives of the song's writers. It's hard to pick out which one suits the sad occasion, as any really good heart-felt song will do.

I thought about John Denver's "I'm leaving on a jet plane" but she's not. She's simply moving away to another  town by car.

Then there's another good song choice, Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye". Now that is an appropriate one, but lacks the sentimentality that does what we had justice. No, only one song will do that. And it's from our mutually favorite group: The Beatles.

From one of  my favorite albums of theirs(The White Album is my favorite), is of my favorite tracks off their album: Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, She's leaving home.

"Wednesday morning at five o'clock 
As the day begins 
Silently closing her bedroom door 
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more 

She goes downstairs to the kitchen 
Clutching her handkerchief 
Quietly turning the backdoor key 
Stepping outside, she is free 

She...(we gave her most of our lives) 
Is leaving (sacrified most of our lives) 
Home (we gave her everything money could buy) 
She's leaving home, after living alone, for so many years (bye bye) 

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown 
Picks up the letter that's lying there 
Standing alone at the top of the stairs 
She breaks down and cries to her husband 
"Daddy, our baby's gone. 
"Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly? 
How could she do this to me?" 

She...(we never thought of ourselves) 
Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves) 
Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by) 
She's leaving home, after living alone, for so many years 

Friday morning, at nine o'clock 
She is far away 
Waiting to keep the appointment she made 
Meeting a man from the Motortrade 

She (what did we do that was wrong) 
Is Having (we didn't know it was wrong) 
Fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy) 

Something inside, that was always denied, for so many years... 
She's leaving home...bye, bye."

Yes I know, the song's about a daughter leaving her family to go out on her own, but it's still a beautiful song.

I love you, and will  miss you like crazy Pook.

In Sinestro we trust

Just a quick one today folks. Well a quick one for me, anyways:

Hal: "Ugh my aching head! Uh, the that's the last time I let Guy talk me into going shot for shot with Tony Stark for awhile. Damn, that man's an animal! He's not even human! Uh, even with one of the most powerful weapons in the universe on my hand, and I still can't fix my hangover."

Sinestro: "Hello Jordan. What's your problem this time?"

Hal: "Oh great, it's you! I don't have time for your shit right now, so come back later when my headache's gone."

Sinestro: "Hangover again? How predictable Jordan. Here, use this."

Hal: "What in the hell is that?"

Sinestro: "It's an old Korugarian device that's great for curing headaches, hangovers and small amounts of brain damage. So it'll cure your hangover, but not your stupidity."

Hal: "Fuck you Sinestro."

Sinestro: "It was good enough for Abin Sur."

Hal: "What, really!? Well....if it was okay for Abin Sur, then okay. Thanks Sinestro. I guess you're not that bad after all."

Sinestro: "Ha ha haha! Fool! I can't believe he fell for that "If it was good enough for Abin Sur"line. That idiot has no idea I just placed a living virus on his head. Ha ha, priceless."

Hal: "Damn Sinestro was right! I feel a lot better now."

John Stewart: "Hey Hal I--, what the hell!? Hal you got Despotellis the living virus on your head!"

Hal: What!? Arrgh! But I thought? Sinestro!!!!!!"

Yeah that funny little guy is kind of neat. It was bitch trying to keep him on Hal's head though, since even with scotch tape he still kept slipping and sliding off.
