- Walmart’s new logo looks alarmingly like a bubble popping, which is strangely apropos given the role of Walmart in the economic collapse that we face. Alternately, were the designers thinking that it looked like an asterisk? Were they implying that Walmart comes with exceptions? There’s something subtly apocalyptic about either connotation. Next time, I suggest that they just use a skull and crossbones. At least that has the connotation of ’sexy pirates’.
- My spellcheck wanted me to replace ‘Blu-Ray’ with ‘blurry’. I think that’s a pretty good definition of irony.
- If you kill someone with a drill, you can comfortably say that they were bored to death.
- Scareglow. Scareglow is really neat. I have a strange affection for toys depicting skeletons and skulls – which explains my irrational enjoyment of Ghost Rider, aesthetically.

Daniel Way’s run on Ghost Rider is terrific, and will make you feel less irrational for liking the character.
The joy lies in the fact that it’s basically all about what a moron Johnny Blaze is. It tells the story of a man who found out that his step-father had cancer… and instead of using his celebrity status to hold charity events, he IMMEDIATELY made a deal with Satan.
It features him getting pounded into the ground by Doctor Strange, The Hulk, and at least a few other people.
