Bob Seger last night
( looks like a Steely Dan medallion-thing but: that’s the Silver Bullet, man )The culmination of many years of wishing, for me. Seems it was about a year and a half, maybe two years ago that I was on the road somewhere and happened to actually READ one of my junk emails, which turned out to be about coming concerts in Denver, and: Bob Seger was coming to town. I was buying tix a few minutes later—and paying more for them than I’ve paid for some trucks I’ve o…

Cars, Cars, Cars
This is my kind of post:
Celebrating the 13 Most Famous Cars in Horror!
All I’d add—well, not ‘all,’ but one I’d for-sure add would be that monster’d out El Camino from Little Evil:

LotR, D&D style
Ridiculous: solely because of this fun thread, I suspect, this weekend while I was laid up with a three-day fever and a cough I thought would hollow me out completely, leave nothing but a husk of a dude behind, I ended up putting in the extended edition of Fellowship.
